Hi,
I could really use some help, I have an HP Pavilion desktop computer I got from work. It’s a p7-1421 PC
It says on the label it’s Windows 8. It says it’s Wireless LAN 802. 11b/g/n. So my issue is there’s no option to set up WIFI. When I click the network connection icon it says “Network and internet settings: Change settings, such as making a connection metered.” When I click open network and internet settings it ONLY gives me an option to plug in an Ethernet cable, no option for WIFI, when I open device manager and click network adapters I have one that says “Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)” but there is NOTHING in there about a WIRELESS network adapter. I want to use my desktop connected to wireless WIFI. NOT and Ethernet cable. Please help.

Your router may only broadcast 5.0GHz. Please allow it to broadcast DUAL bands. Your machine which has single band: 2.4 GHz (b/g/n) wifi adapter should pick up 2.4GHz SSID and allow you to connect.
Regards.
