Pro Tip: Always download your network drivers before you wipe your hard drive for a clean install. It saves you the headache of being "offline and stuck" later.

To install the WiFi driver on Windows 11, you need to connect to the internet. If you have an Ethernet cable, connect it to your computer. If not, you can use a mobile hotspot or another WiFi network.

If you are stuck on the setup screen saying "Let's connect you to a network" and see no Wi-Fi options, you cannot download drivers directly. You must use an alternate method to get the files onto your PC.
