Your machine is around 9 or 10 years old, due to the whitelist you can only use some adapters on page 46 of the

 

                   Maintenance and Service Guide

 

Option: Please try

              https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Networking/Adapters/67965-USB-AC53-NANO

 

I'm using it for my 9/10 years old machine now, very happy with the outcome. You can buy one of many similar ones around. Cheaper too.

 

Regards.

Thanks, but I am already using a usb nic.

I am using the TP-Link AC600 (Archer T2U Plus) usb adapter. 

Works great, but have always prefered built in units to plugins.
