I can´t finish the windows 11 setup because no Network is being detected

[Farukon]

Hello,

I got my 13th Gen DIY laptop two days ago and assembled it yesterday. When it came to setting up Windows 11 all went well until I was required to connect to a WiFi network. My WiFi module came pre-installed. While reading some Framework guides I noticed that there is a similar problem with Intel during setup but I have AMD. Another guide mentioned that when using windows the WiFi may not work until the driver bundle is installed but not how to work around that during setup. I restarted the Router but nothing changed.

What can I do?

Welcome to the forum

If it were me having this, I would check my drawer of usb stuff and look for any old (known to work):

• Ethernet dongle
• WiFi dongle

and work around it.

Maybe you or a friend has such a device laying around so you at least keep moving forward.

You could try the workaround from this post

No networks found in Windows 11 install on Framework 13 AMD

There are no wifi drivers installed at this point (as the Windows installer doesn’t come with them). Press Shift + F10 then type this in OOBE\BYPASSNRO and hit enter. The laptop will restart and when you get to the network page, then you should be able to continue without internet. Afterwards, run the Framework driver pack and you should now have wifi.

Thank you both for for the fast reply’s.
Unfortunately we don´t have Ethernet/WiFi dongles at the moment but will be sure to remember since they can be bought. For now I will try the work around and see if that works.
