Hi:

Go to the device manager and post the hardware ID for the device you see labeled as a Network Controller in the device manager.   That is what Windows names the wifi adapter when no driver is installed.

Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID for a device.

How to Find Drivers for Unknown Devices in the Device Manager (howtogeek.com)

You can get the W8.1 ethernet (wired) driver directly from Realtek at the link below.

Realtek PCIe FE / GBE / 2.5G / Gaming Ethernet Family Controller Software - REALTEK

Download, unzip and run the setup application from the W8.1 driver.

Hi:

Yes, so I need you to post the hardware ID for the Network Controller device in your screenshot, so I can figure out what model wifi adapter it is and post the link to the right driver.
