Hello!
I bought a second-hand Packard Bell laptop running Windows 10, 64-bit, yesterday.
It works perfectly, but it’s missing the driver for the network card to enable WiFi. The card is an "Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)."
I've received a few responses, but nothing works; the WiFi won't activate. I've already tried the Fn+F2 key combination since the WiFi logo is on the F2 key, but that doesn’t work either. Can you help me?
Thank you in advance!

As already mentioned, the network card he installed is an Ethernet-only model and not a WIFI card as he believed. The solution is to replace it with a WIFI model or to use a WIFI dongle like the one that was suggested.
Hello.
You said:
It's an Ethernet card, not a WiFi card, so it's normal that you can't connect via WiFi.

How to do it?
How to do what?
Apparently, you don't understand, you gave me the reference of an Ethernet network card, so it's not a WiFi card, okay?
You say you cannot connect via WiFi, for that you need a WiFi card. If your PC has one, you need to provide the reference for the WiFi card because you provided the reference for an Ethernet card, which has nothing to do with WiFi.
If your PC does not have a WiFi card, you need to get a USB WiFi adapter, for example:

Nothing regarding Wi-Fi appears in the device manager, I will have to buy a Wi-Fi network card, thank you.
Hi,
I don't know of any current laptops without a Wi-Fi card; many ultrabooks (very thin ones) lack an ethernet port, but it's been a long time since I've seen one without a Wi-Fi card.
What is the exact model?
You know that Wi-Fi is also called wireless in the device manager.
Afterward,
it can also be disabled by a button or in the BIOS, but as long as we don't know the exact model of the thing...

and ... There you go!
