Emachine support network adapter driver

The Emachines EL1358 has a wired LAN connection. To add a wireless connection, you need an USB wireless network adapter or an add-on wireless network adapter card. The internal card options may depend on exactly which EL1385 model you have. The EL1385G-51W has a PCIe x16 and a PCIe x1 slot. The card will probably need a low-profile bracket to fit in the case. (If both slots are in use, you'd need to remove one of the cards and replace it with the wireless adapter.) See https://www.manualslib.com/manual/391363/Emachines-El1358.html for information on adding a card to the desktop.

Check that the card has a driver for your machine's OS version. (The EL1358 came with Windows 7. Windows 10 x64 requires signed drivers, if you upgraded to that OS version.) Follow the directions for the wireless adapter to determine if you need to install the drivers before connecting the USB adapter or installing the card. If there is no CD or USB flash drive with the adapter packaging, you will need to either download the driver files at another computer or use the wired LAN connection to obtain the drivers. (Use the wired LAN to connect to your WAN or router to obtain the drivers if they come from Windows.)

Once the drivers are installed, then you can enable the wireless connection. For several versions of Windows, go to the Control Panel. Find the section on Networking. Choose Connect to a Network. See if your wireless network SSID is listed. If needed, go to the Network and Sharing Center. Then find and click on the link for Set up a new network connection. You may need to Manually connect to a wireless network if the SSID of the wireless network is not being broadcast.

I hope this helps.

(note: slight differences exist in the placement of the network control panel options between Windows versions. I usually can find which one I want but have to poke around at times.)

Check the Device Manager in the Control Panel and see if the drivers are loaded. Click Start/Control Panel and look for System or System and Performance. Open it and look for Device Manager. Open the Device Manager and check the Network Adapters.

Download and Install Network Adapters.

Get onlineand got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "EmachineSupport" or "Gateway Support" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support). Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operatingsystem when requested. Download and install the Network Adapter drivers.

If you still have the original eMachine software as your desktop, go to Start > system Recovery > Create my Drivers and Application CD disk.

This will create a CD that will contaon all the drivers for your eMachine.

You have not specified which emachine you have so I've just put up a emachine board here

Its a PCI card so it slots into the PCI slot on you emachine motherboard as shown in the picture above.

Have you checked the encription method (WPA or WEP) - usernama and password or just a password for the second type

The drivers aren't on your computer, so you must download them.from the link below. Select your computer and your version of xp and install the drivers. This should fix the problems.

the driver that you installed is not compatibled to the hardware of your wireless deviced

You need to reinstall the network adapter drivers. Do you have the software for the drivers? If not go to the computer management tool. On the start button click on run and type: compmgmt.msc. Click on device manager, on the right find network adapters. Double click and click on driver tab find what you need to do and reinstall your driver. I hope this works for you.

If you can go online, your network device is installed properly, or at least good enough.

NVIDIA drivers have an uninstall option, they never need to be deleted manually. If you need to install older drivers that may work better for an older game, the installation automatically removes your current drivers that are installed.
