Kiosk Setup WIFI issue

Post#1 by tomkruk » 28 Jun 2022, 15:19

I am trying to setup a kiosk. I run the wizard and select wireless option, it keeps searching for network forever (not successful).
I am trying this on a mini pc from 2 companies, Minisforum and BMax. Both have Windows 10 pre installed and have wifi hardware. I am able to configure via Ethernet but that’s not going to work in my deployment (hanging wall display).

Can someone help me get the wifi working? Do I need to find drivers? How do I install them? Is there hardware (Mini PC) that just works out of the
box (wifi)?

If all else fails, can I put files locally instead.. This is not ideal but may be an option..

Thanks for any help with this…

For future reference - 3rd party wifi driver was needed:

We got the wifi to work in a customized build.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
