Hello,

I just got this computer but I can't connect to the network via Wi-Fi. It doesn't recognize this type of connection. I tried updating the Nvidia nForce Network 10/100/1000 Mbps driver without success.
What should I do?
Is it possible that a new-generation PC doesn't recognize Wi-Fi????
In that case, should I just change my PC!!!

Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 8.0

    Hello,

    Do you have an Ethernet connection?

    Hello, I have the same problem with this recently acquired PC: Acer eMachines EL1352-016.

    I am unable to connect to the internet with a wifi key, even though it is compatible with Windows 7.

    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Thank you in advance.

    Good evening
    these are the characteristics of an Ethernet card (cable):
    Nvidia nForce Network 10/100/1000 Mbps

    the PC reference suggests it is a tower, this type of PC does not come with a Wi-Fi network card

    is there a small antenna at the back of the tower?

    Hello,

    Confirmation: this PC, like many towers, does not have a Wi-Fi card.

    But this is an easy defect to fix
    - either with a USB dongle
    - or with a PCI expansion card to be installed in a free slot on the motherboard.

    Cost: starting from less than €20.

    If your PC is close to your xxxbox, the USB dongle will probably do the job.
    If there are obstacles between them, a PCI card with an antenna will be more sensitive... but will cost more.
