Before I went to bed last night I posted a picture showing how to see if you have your wireless driver installed and ready to connect, and if not how to run a Troubleshooter which will tell you exactly what is wrong. Now I wake up to see you not only didn't reply but are still wringing your hands not knowing what to do!
It's quite obvious from your screenshot that the Wireless LAN Network driver is in error (with a !) and probably not installed. The Ethernet driver is installed and shown just above it.
AddRAM provided your Wireless driver link almost a day ago, so have you made any attempt to install it? I guess not since you just said you don't know where you'd find it. Do you just blink by our posts as though they're not even there, after we do this work for you?
He seems to think it's the Azurewave but it could be any of those listed so keep trying to install each until the five-bar network icon shows up in your System tray so you can click on it to connect to your Network. You can determine exactly which make/model you have using Hardware Identification
An alternate method is to plug in your PC by wire which should connect immediately, then click on the Network controller to open it, click Install Driver, then Search Automatically which should import the driver from Windows Updates. If not run all Important and Optional Updates after enabling Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware (Step 3)
plugging the laptop straight into my computer doesnt work from home for some reason... It works from my office but then everything is restricted so I cant search automatically for the right drivers. I went to ASUS - K53E
and then down to wireless and downloaded the first 4 options to a memory card and then tried to install them on my laptop but they wouldnt work. I guess ill try all 10 of them. Thanks for helping, sorry its just been a lot easier with macs
