Hi there
According to this webpage which gives the specs for the Asus, it does not have wireless capability built in
http://www.cnet.com/uk/products/asus-essentio-cm5571-br003/specs/
It can easily be used with a wireless network connection either by adding a wireless network PCI adaptor, or a USB wireless network adaptor. Neither of these are expensive and the USB adaptor is often preferred as it only needs a spare USB port on the machine and the computer does not need to be opened up as it does for the PCI adaptor.
Hope this helps

there is usually a bios setting for the wireless card, but sometimes there is another hardware switch that needs to be turned on.

Assuming you're in Windows, Hit the start button, right-click computer/my computer, hit manage.

This will bring you to the computer management console. Open the Device Manager from the left pane.

Expand the "Network Adapters" option listed. From here, you can enable/disable your Network Card or check for up to date drivers.

A lan adaptor driver is fixable by downloading from the network site of the USB 2.0.
important notes
1. Lan adaptors are outdated versions incompartible with recent operating systems. Acquiring a new USB device or even wireless modems are the latest alternatives to lan computer connections of the past. Modern wireless modem connection have built in installation kits,also present is the computers capability to recognise to integrate to a network.

3. Connect the wireless adapter cable to your Xbox 360 I/O port.
4. Flip up the network adapter's antenna.
5. Turn on your Xbox 360.

Hi,

Your laptop should have a switch on the front or side that switches your wireless radio on. If this has been done you must right-click on the wireless indicator and you should see en enable option. These are the only 2 places you can enable or disable the wireless radio.

Right click,on my computer,Click properties,click device manager (on the left),Click the Network adapter,Click on the wireless adapter and click enable.Then turn the wireless radio off and back on as you have done before or just restart the computer.

Goto - Control Panel - System - Device Manager - Network Adaptors. It will list any network device installed. If its listed then Right click the wireless device then click properties.This will then tell you if it is working properly and if the driver needs updating. Also it will tell you if the device has been disabled or not,if so just enable it
