Solved Re-installed Windows 7 and having trouble connecting to the internet

[Kenaan]

Hello, bare with me here I don't know much about this stuff but I'll try to give as much info as I can. Today I re-installed a hard drive and OS for my ASUS, Model: U56E. The hard drive is an HGST Travelstar 500GB, 7200RPM and 16 MB/Mo and the Operating System is Windows 7 Home premium 64bit. The problem I'm having is when I try to connect to the internet it will say "Windows did not detect any networking hardware". I looked into it further and found the device manager. Under Other Devices there's a yellow exclamation point next to a few.. the one that I think I need to fix is the Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150. The device status "The drivers for the device are not installed. (Code 28) I hope I gave enough info.

Hi Welcome to Seven Forum ... Have you tried connecting by Earthnet ? The Drivers you need are in the Link below .. Once you are connected to the Net run Windows Updates .. Then any Drivers or errors you have Post them back here ...

I installed the Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150 through the link you provided with a usb. Now it's saying I need to plug in an ethernet cable to connect but when I do it still won't connect. I don't understand why I can't connect with wireless.. Also there's a yellow exclamation point next to ethernet controller and network controller so that might have something to do with it. I'm a deer in the headlights here I know very little about what's going on the help is appreciated.

It worked! I can connect when I plug the ethernet cable in now but the wireless still doesn't work.. could you tell me which driver to install as well maybe I choose the wrong one. And now that I can connect with the ethernet can I fix other things like my graphics seem to be off. Thanks for all of the help!

No problem Go to the Device Manager Select the Devices which have errors .. Then right click on them select Property's /Details Tab There should be a Hardware ID there please post them ..

Most welcome Now run Windows Updates and Install a good Antivirus and Malwarebytes .. Remember prevention is better than cure .. You should also backup Regular to an External Drive if possible ..
