Help with ASUS laptop! (Internet connection)

Just recently (2 days ago) purchased an ASUS notebook (ASUS X53SV) and after a while got tired of the insane amount of bloatware on it and decided to do a clean install of Windows 7.

Unfortunately I can now no longer connect to the internet, neither through WiFi or an Ethernet cable. Now I figure its some sort of software ASUS uses for the network card on the computer that got deleted by the clean install, question is what. I might also be wrong on that guess though.

I have several computers that I can access Internet on and download eventual drivers or software that would fix my problem and then transfer via an external HD so that is not an issue.

I plan on calling customer service tomorrow and have posted on the ASUS forums but would like to cover all my bases as with previous technical issues I've had it's usually forums like this that have the answers.

Anything to help me out would be greatly appreciated.

Hallowyr.


EDIT: Connection issue solved, got an issue with installing the latest NVIDIA driver now, see my latest post. Thanks.

 

I believe it is just a driver issue. Download the latest driver from the ASUS website, and you should be good to go.

 

This was my first guess as well, there are a lot of drivers on the ASUS website though and was kinda hoping to narrow it down a little. Would it the LAN drivers?

 

Sorry for the double post but heres an update.

Downloaded and installed drivers for Audio, Chipset, LAN, Wireless, Touchpad, USB and ATK (covering al bases here).

Now I can connect without a problem via an Ethernet cable but my Wireless is still not functioning at all.

Edit: In addition, the Intel MyWifi tool is telling me it doesn't recognize any wireless network cards in the computer.

 

Also, hit Fn + F2, to see if the wireless have been enabled.

 

Right I managed to get the wireless working by downloading some drivers directly from the Network card producer (Atheros).

Now I have a different problem as well with this. Whenever I try to update my Nvidia drivers I get the error message that I need to download and install an Intel driver first.

The message doesn't tell me what driver, or where, or even what for. Anyone know where to find this mysterious driver? Perhaps even a link? (First I thought maybe it was chipset but I've already downloaded and installed the chipset driver from the ASUS site.

Any ideas?

 

I presume it is the Intel GPU driver. You can obtain it on ASUS's own website (recommended), or you can download it via Intel's own website.

Either way, it should work.
