I had windows 10 earlier.Today i installed windows 8.1 by erasing windows 10.But now i find in the device manager that the network adapter for wireless network and ethernet adapter are missing. Hence i am not able to use wifi.
Why did it happen and how to resolve this problem ? I was able to use wifi earlier while using windows 10.

search for your network drivers on another computer with internet access, put it on a usb and copy it over to your computer and install.

Do a right-click on the Windows-Button and select Device Manager. Under Device Management you should see your Wifi-Device with a yellow exclamation mark. Do a right-click > Properties > Details and select Hardware IDs.
Post the Hardware ID here and people will be able to tell you what Driver you need.

You need to install the wifi driver, evidently W8 did not have the proper driver for it during installation, Do a Windows update and see if it offers a wifi driver. – Moab – 2016-08-03T16:57:17.047
