Guys I just built my own pc and now is trying to set up. For some reason, I can't connect to the Internet. How do I do so? My motherboard is h81 hds

Install ethernet driver from cd.

Usually win 7 onwards can detect ethernet port automatically though.

I installed already but it says connect Ethernet wire what should I do now?

The H81-HDS does not have onboard wifi, you are supposed to buy a wifi adapter.

Can you suggest one for me or anyone would do?

Ok, do you at least know how fast your fibre connection is supposed to be giving you?

Check Layer 1 - Physical Layer
- If you see your LAN port, there are 2 LEDs.
- If you see a stable Green LED light up, your physical connection is there.


Check Layer 2 - Link Layer
- If you see a blinking AMBER LED, that means there are data activity


Are you seeing the above LED lights ?

If no, most likely is cable faulty or lan port faulty.

If yes, what is the IP Address you are getting ?
