GA-P35-DS3L and Onboard LAN

kevlee89 · 05-16-2008, 09:59 AM

Hey guys, I've been having a little trouble with my mate's new rig. We got the GA-P35-DS3L, and everything is good, except the internet. The wireless just does not seem to work.

We installed all the drivers for the mobo, and installed all Windows updates yadda yadda, and it still won't work.

Is there some way to get the wireless internet to work on this motherboard, or does it require some kind of network card? It just can't seem to find any of the wireless networks..

Thanks for any help

edit: if the motherboard doesnt support wireless lan, can someone recommend a very cheap / decent wireless card thing? thx

I'm a bit lost, the P35-DS3L doesn't have built-in wireless, you need a wireless NIC that would have to be installed separately.

There is no wireless internet built into that motherboard...In fact there's only a handful of boards with built-in wireless adapters. Go to newegg and pick up the cheap gigabyte card, I have it and it's pretty decent for the price (like $20 shipped or something).
