New computer, connects wirelessly not to the wire i connected

Hi there

I might have missed something here - I assume the OP wants to use a LAN connection (wired) instead of the wifi mode -- nothing wrong with that - especially with decent LAN.

I assume the computer has a LAN network adapter(wired) or is using a USB-->LAN one --also very fast and good these days - especially if USB3 - should get 1 - 10 Gb/s over your LAN if it's a decent one whereas wifi even the latest 5 GHZ stuff won't achieve this speed -- also LAN is duplex allowing faster throughput in any case.

This one is particularly good and cheap and doesn't need any drivers - windows just starts it fine (and backward compatible with USB2 as well). Also runs full duplex (FDX) where available !!!

I use this at home on a laptop instead of the wifi (and where I am we have some of the best Internet on the planet !!) !!

but back to the point of using LAN and disabling Wifi : doesn't THIS work.

I *KNOW* this problem, because I have an MSI Z87 motherboard with a Killer NIC network interface on it. From time to time, Windows 10 fails to recognize this device during the installation of the OS. When that happens -- and it's irritatingly random and unpredictable -- the NIC does not show up AT ALL in device manager. Fortunately, the fix is easy: visit the KILLER driver download page and download the item labeled "Killer E2200/E2400 + Killer Wireless Suite."
Unpack the download, and run the installer. It will make you reboot twice to go through the process, but it does result in a visible, usable LAN interface.

Hi there

Good advice but I thought the original problem was the fact that the OP could not disable Wifi even with a LAN adapter connected.

Of course if you've got Mobo built in LAN adapter you need to have the correct driver --things like INTEL LAN adapters are usually standard though in Windows -- although some that use "generic Broadcomm 3rd part chips" have problems.
