Hey guys, just got my Vanquish 4, works great so far... however I can't set up my wifi connection for the life of me. I've always had bad luck when it came to setting up connections anyhow. I installed the driver for my wifi adapter (been using it in the same spot for some time now with my old computer) and it connected fine, but when I went on Edge to test it out, no page would load. I tried diagnosing it and it just told me that the DNS server isn't responding. I tried messing with the DNS settings a bit like I've read online, but that does nothing (changing it from automatically detect to a specific server).

Can you guys help me? Cause right now I can't do anything with this system until I can get it online, and this is beyond frustrating!

Also, just for clarification, I tried using chrome, and it couldn't connect either, so I doubt it's just Edge or any sort of browser issue, and my wifi works fine for everything else, so it's an issue with some setting on the computer.

I don't do much with WiFi troubleshooting, never had to.   Lucky I guess.

What WiFi adapter do you have?     If its a USB then try a different USB port, especially USB 2.0 if its in a 3.0.

Make sure you have the the driver for your OS, Windows 10 in this case I'm assuming.

Well I have to thank you, it was the USB, I had been using the one for my SSD I believe (3.0 I'm assuming), and it wasn't recognizing the first wifi adapter I tried(older 2.0 usb). I was able to install it successfully upon changing the ports Well at least it wasn't something more complicated!
