No Wi-Fi connection or option available

I just installed Manjaro Kde 21.1 on my newly built pc but there is no option to connect to wireless internet, only wired internet.
I’ve been very excited to use Manjaro for a while so I hope this will get resolved :confused:

One thing I tried is: System settings > Hardware config> Network Controller > Install network-r8168

Oh and I wanted to paste my inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host output but it says “you cant post links”

Stating the obvious, you need a Wifi Chip to be able to connect to a Wifi network.

This board does not a have build in Wifi chip. Do you added a PCIE Wifi card or a Wifi USB stick to your system?

Oh… I’m sorry its my first time building a pc and i didnt know this, Thank you! :sweat_smile:

No problem.

On desktop systems, you can usually see the antenna(s) on the back of the system.

Also a good starting point is the manual of the motherboard. If it doesn’t mention Wifi or how to attach the antenna(s), you need an extra card or device if you want to use Wifi.
