If Win 8 or 8.1, open the Charms bar on right edge of screen and select Settings. On Settings pane, click Network icon. Make sure Airplane mode is off and WiFi is on.
The pane should show a list of available WiFi networks. Click one and, assuming it requires a password, enter the network password and click Connect.
Settings>Network does not show Airplane Mode or available WiFi networks. It only shows my Ethernet connection. As I previously mentioned Device Manager shows WiFi is installed and working properly.

What happens if you disconnect the wired connection and reboot?
Is your WiFI router broadcasting its SSID?
Do the router and PC WiFi card support the same 802.11 standards.
If none of this helps, you probably should re-post in the Networking forum.

Now it's working. When I first posted I did disconnect the Ethernet connection but it did not show any WiFi connection.
Thanks!
