Product: HP ENVY 20-d030xt TouchSmart All-in-One CTO Desktop PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32-bit)

I have used an ethernet connection for my internet for a long time. I need to use wifi now, but it appears my wireless adapter is no longer on my computer. The only adapter that shows in the device manager is a realtek adapter for family ethernet connection.  This is a 10 year old HP Envy 20 all in one PC, running on Windows 8.1.

It does NOT have wifi adapter, only Integrated LAN:

  • Technology: Realtek RTL8171EH
  • Data transfer speeds: up to 10/100 Mb/s
  • Transmission standards: 10-Base-T Ethernet

Quick fix and worth every penny:
