Hi there, I am struggling to get onto the Internet with my new Gigabyte motherboard with onboard Wifi.

There is the suggestion that I enable this in the BIOS by going to PERIPHERALS, but I have searched the BIOS>Advanced and I am unable to find any memtion of it.
Any help much appreciated.

Thank you.
 
Thank you for the promptv reply.
I was sure the new motherboard was rev1.7 but I must be wrong as there is no ethernet port on the motherboard just a hole.
Do I need to get inside the compter to find the correct revision, or can you still please help.
Could it have been 1.8?
 
Thank you fior your reply, I will make a note of that 'AC'.
I can get onto the Internet using a donggle with a strong signal, no problem.
I thought I would try the WiFi but there is no connection.
I read that I need to 'turn on' this connection in the BIOS?
I got into the BIOS>Advanced, opened the various tabs but no where could I see any mention of WiFi.
Thank you.
 
Thank you for your help on this one.

I need to take the side panel off my PC and check the details of the motherboad that I only bought a couple of month ago, I never realsed it had no lan port until I was about to install my lan cable into it, just a hole where the port usually is. The retailer never mentioned this.

As it is I am happy using the donggle, so no big deal.

Thank you.
 
Have I been sold a duff Motherboard.
Definitely v1.7
The middle row of ports and top right are completely empty.
I have never needed these as I have always used the doggle and I used the a bottom USB port for the keyboard.
My mouse in wifi.
The plot thickens.
I have photographed the ports, saved it to my hard drive, could you please advise how I attach it to send it to you.
It is asking for a URL, sorry about this I am 82 and this is a steep learning curve for me.
Thank you for your help on this.
 
Problem solved, I am so pleased I posted this on the forum.
Slap the back of my hands, I made a bit of a mess of things.
It looks as though I left in the old I/O plated which when I slide in the new motherrboard covered up the ethernet port.
As you right said, all motherboards have a ethernet port.
It looks as though I discarded the original I/O which was for a 1.7 Gigabyte motherboard.
Damn not easy to spot a second hand one on the Internet, I will have to keep looking.
Once more thank you for all your help.
All is well that ends well, nearly.
 
Lucky me, I did not discard the IO Plate as I first thought, I have just found it in the drawer I toss all bits and bobs I might need.

Part number on the see-throught plastic envelope containing the IO Plate is 12AIO-010222-32R.

Again, thanks for all the help and suggestions that have been given to me, without which I would not have searched the IO Plate that I had discarded.
