I'm trying to connect to WiFi but it is only giving me the Ethernet option, how can I fix this?

You can certainly setup Windows with Ethernet. That's how I setup all my computers. Only after the computer is setup and running well do I add WiFi.

If your connection to the internet comes through a router, the best, the easiest and the safest way to setup WiFi is to follow the directions in your router's owners guide. It is the router, after all, that creates and manages your home network, so it makes the most sense to setup your network through the router. In the beginning of the router's owners guide you will find complete (and often illustrated) directions for setting up a secure WiFi network.

Finish setting up Windows and check it out to make sure it's running well. Once you feel confident you can add WiFi.

(P.S. Don't forget to make backup copies of your BitLocker recovery key.)

I use the Control Panel to select how I want to connect to the internet. If you open the Control Panel, see if you have both a Ethernet connection and wi-fi. If you do and you have an Internet Service Provider, then select the one you want to use.

I use the Control Panel and select which one I want to use. See the example image below. What have you selected? Do you have a wi-fi adapter? Who is your Internet Service Provider?

Hello,

Welcome to the Microsoft Windows Community.

Good afternoon. This usually happens when the installation setup fails to install the Wi-Fi drivers; please use a wired network connection to complete the installation and then install the drivers. If your device only has Wi-Fi connectivity, you can connect your mobile phone to the USB port using a data cable:

On Android

1. Connect the USB cable between the smartphone and the computer.

2. Open your phone's Settings.

3. Go to Network & internet or Connections (the name varies by manufacturer, such as Samsung or Xiaomi).

4. Tap Hotspot & tethering (or Wi-Fi Router and Tethering).

5. Enable the USB tethering option.

6. Wait for the computer to recognize the network connection.

(Note: Some models running stock Android or Google-branded phones may not support USB tethering directly on Mac computers).

On iPhone

1. Connect the USB cable between the iPhone and the computer.

2. If a prompt appears on the iPhone screen asking if you want to "Trust This Computer?", tap Trust and enter your passcode.

3. On the iPhone, go to Settings.

4. Tap Personal Hotspot.

5. Enable the Allow Others to Join option.

6. Sharing via cable happens automatically once the device is plugged in and authorized.

Good luck, and please let us know the outcome.
