Hi
I have just put together my own PC for the first time and im having a problem connecting to the internet because when ever I connect my wireless connector the instillation fails, when I go to find out the problem it says I haven't got the drivers and and wont update them to be able to install my wire connector.

any help would be great thanks.
 
Dont download them from the OEMs site, download them from intel. What motherboard do you have?
 
Sorry for the late reply but cant use internet on my pc so got to use other peoples.

Dont get drivers from Asrock, get them from the 3rd party manufacturer.

Some times getting third party drives is not the best thing to do. Using his boards drivers ,Then updating . Most of the times works out better. If you have just built a system. This way you get it up and running and have a better chance of finding your updates. Plus then you know what drivers you are looking for.

Oh after a fresh build I get them from the site, they are usually more up to date. I have no issues.
 
I have no issue either, I was just saying sometimes If you are new at building a computer, This is a easier way to do it. Plus then you will know the hardware in your computer.

True, the generic drivers sometimes dont tell the right model, or dont even show it.
 
I tried the 3 links you sent misor and 2 of them didnt work. and my network adapter is called broadcom netlink (tm) gigabit ethernet
