    Brand new computer, Brand new windows 7.. no wireless?


    I just unpacked my custom build and got it turned on.. went to try and get the internet working, and for the life of me.. i can't figure it out.
    I don't even have a little wireless bar down in the right hand corner. when i try to connect to a network in network and sharing center, it wants me to plug in an ethernet cable. But i want wireless.. Also in the side panel of Network and sharing center, i don't even have the option for wireless.. i have Change adapter settings, and Change advanced sharing settings.

    I try to set up a new connection or network and Connect to the internet, the only way it asks me to connect is by broadband(PPPoE). If i try set up a new network it asks me to choose the wireless router or access point i want to configure, might take up to 90 seconds for networks to appear.. but nothing pops up.


    Anyone have any ideas?

    In Device Manager, Network Adapters, is your wireless shown?

    If yes, is the driver installed? If no, is it enabled in BIOS?

    Does Windows handle your wireless connection or is there a third party software that does it. Is your WLAN AutoConfig service enabled and running?
