Help! I'm struggling to connect my new PC to the internet
Asked by

Hey everyone, I'm brand new to this and could really use some guidance. I just built my first PC, but I'm having trouble getting it online. It's connected to my router via an ethernet cable, and I've also got the WiFi receiver that came with my motherboard (Tomahawk B850) installed. What could be causing the issue, and how can I troubleshoot it?

I'm not sure if I have the drivers installed. I thought I needed to be connected to the internet to download them. Is there any way to install them without WiFi? I don't have a second computer.

Hey! Have you checked if the Ethernet and WiFi drivers for your motherboard are installed? Sometimes without those drivers, your PC won’t connect properly.

Did you manage to install the drivers yet? You’ll need those to get your network running smoothly.

You can usually find the drivers on the manufacturer's website. You could download them on another device and transfer them over using a USB flash drive!
