Hi Harish,

I tried to install network drivers which is listed in Windows 8.1 and it was installed successfully. I am installing all the drivers which is related to hardware from Windows 8.1 section.

Hi Sanjeev,

Thanks for writing to us on Forum.

It looks like the drivers are not installed in a correct order due to which the system is not detecting networks.

This can be sorted out by installing all the drivers again in a correct order. The following link will help with the order in which drivers have to be installed:
