Wifi question

[combatwombatpcgamer]

So myy mobo msi mag b550 tomahawk wifi needs internet to install windows 11 I bypass it, set up windows now to get wifi I need to update the driver but u need wifi so I go to the local store they don't have it have to go to another store 35 mins away get a usb stick then go to a internet cafe load it on the usb stick get home usb stick says I have to install the usb stick and oh no requires internet
So to get wifi u need to update the drivers that require a usb stick that requires internet connection it's not easy is it far out

Use a cable to connect your PC to the router and then install the necessary drivers (and WIndows Updates!). Why did you bypass WiFi on setup?

If I had the means to do that I would have, live in apartment complex so that's not an option

Fair enough, so why did you bypass the Internet connection din the install? The Windows installer contains a WiFi driver that will drive most cards.

Did you try the USB 2.0 ports instead of the USB 3.2 ones? Those use a different driver which may be included in Windows 11

If you have a spare internal optical drive or HDD then Windows includes those drivers for sure, but you'd have to copy the contents of the USB onto disc or disk first.

yes but to be able to access the windows installer you have to have a wifi connection if your mobo doesnt have it you cannot install windows 11 have to bypass that and download drivers onto a usb install the drivers then finish off windows 11
