I checked your computer's specs, no, this model doesn't have the wifi adapter. Unfortunately you cannot simply change the ethernet adapter to wireless. It is kind of like you cannot change your landline phone to be a mobile phone. They are completely two different types of hardware.
You can purchase an external wifi adapter that can connect via USB instead. Here is an example from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-usb-wifi-adapter...
oh thats disappointing. thank you
yes i want to use wireless. i don't know if my device have wireless adapter
can i change the ethernet adapter to wireless or what
Hello, this is Emily.
Ethernet and Wireless are on two separate adapters. Intel 82567LM-3 is the ethernet adapter, so it only works with ethernet. If you want to use wireless, you need to make sure your device has the wireless adapter. Is that something you currently have, but it is not working?
If you are not sure, please type msinfo32.exe in the search on the taskbar and hit enter, then share a screenshot of the pop up please.
