Hi Callum.

Welcome to Club Vaio.

You will need to install the driver from Device Manager.

1. Find the wireless device in Network Adapters in Device Manager and double-click on it.
2. Go to Driver tab and select Update Driver.
3. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
4. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
5. Select Have Disk....
6. Select Browse....
7. Browse to your back-up driver .inf file (\\netathr.INF) wherever you have it stored.
8. Next ..........
9. If you get a warning screen, select "Install Anyway".
10. Close & Re-Boot

Good Luck
