I have a new pc on which Windows installed. The problem is that I need a LAN cable to install the drivers. Unfortunately, I don't have a LAN cable. So I have to install the WLAN driver from my laptop on the USB stick and then install it import / transfer on my pc.
So how should I get the driver on the USB stick and does Windows recognize the driver when I have it on (from the USB stick to the new pc)?
You have to download the corresponding driver from the company that manufactures the mainboard of the new PC (if your new PC supports Wi-Fi at all, which is rarely the case). This is usually just an installation file or something. You put it on the stick, put it in the new PC, pull the file (s) down from it (e.g. On the desktop) and start the installation file.
But don't I just have to install the Wi-Fi driver instead of the one from the mainboard?
And how do I install the AsRock driver? On google?
I don't know where you got Wi-Fi in your new PC. If you have a single WLAN card, you will of course need the card's drivers. If you don't have one, but your mainboard has a Wi-Fi antenna (which, as I said, is rare), then you need the Wi-Fi drivers for your mainboard.
You have to put the driver installer on the stick and then install it on the PC. On the manufacturer's website you can actually download the driver under Support or Products, you have to click your way through.

There may also be a driver CD with the WLAN stick, then you can save that with a USB stick back and forth.
Most of the WLAN sticks I know are actually plug and play, which means that you can simply plug them in and get started.
Ok if i install the driver from the mainboard then i can cable loose and connect to the Wi-Fi?
Yes, the WLAN driver from the mainboard. What kind of drivers do you want to install on the PC and why do you not have a LAN cable? It's included with every router.
Yes, but I don't have a DVD burner. I don't have a WLAN stick, just a normal USB stick
The LAN cable is extremely short.
As I said, if you install the driver AND your mainboard has a Wi-Fi antenna (which is only the case with expensive models), THEN you can then establish a wireless connection, yes.
But either way you should have a LAN cable at home. Quite apart from the fact that if you do a fresh installation of Windows 10 today and your mainboard has a Wi-Fi antenna, Windows should actually install the drivers automatically. (It has a massive list of drivers included)
Oh ok thanks. Can I install the driver from this website since I can't find it myself on AsRock.

I would not do it. You should definitely get something critical like drivers from the manufacturer. If Asus doesn't have a Wi-Fi driver for your motherboard, then it means that there's no Wi-Fi driver for it. What other sites then offer you is probably a virus.
Ok, I found it at the manufacturer. So I should install all drivers that are there or only individually.

can you tell me what exactly to download?
you go down to service then to download / download (there are the drivers for the mainboard)
The mainboard has no Wi-Fi antenna, so no Wi-Fi drivers. (as expected)
Ok I will then buy a wlan stick. Can I use any wlan stick from Media Markt? Can I use any that are fast? I have (my wlan) 250MBit / s
And do I have a low ping with a WLAN USB stick? And is it just as fast as a LAN cable?
Buy the cheapest Wi-Fi stick you can find (for emergencies) and a long LAN cable. Or just a LAN cable. Gambling online via Wi-Fi is rarely worth it. This means you lose a lot of bandwidth and signal stability. (We have 50MBit / s, for example, and I get a maximum of 10MBit / s on my PC via Wi-Fi, if there's a long connection at all)
The ping is slightly increased, I would estimate, but if so, then not noticeable. Maybe a couple of ms. The bandwidth of a Wi-Fi stick can be quite high, but you lose power for every meter of air in between. Especially when there's a wall in between, or worse, water pipes.
Yes, I had never used a LAN cable but was always connected to the WLAN. But do I have lost connections or a bad ping because of the stick?
With a stick, you definitely have an increased likelihood of disconnections. ^^ '
Bad ping not necessarily, no.
I thank you with all my heart
Yeah, please! If you feel like it, you are welcome (whenever the function is activated) to mark my answer as the most helpful. :>
Ok I do (and yes, I have had the function since level 2)
