wifi not working on new install

[stevef]

illl try and find it again if that's helpful as i cant remember exactly what was going on there!

Yes, it would help if we knew what steps you have already tried and what effect any changes you made had.
Did you reverse the steps that didn't work etc.

Still need clarification on what you mean by this...

ive tried installing the driver through the device manager and it said it was using one but apparently it isn't!

What exactly is 'device manager' and what driver does the device manager say it was using ?

It would also to help to know a bit about the installation.
You've reported your version as 7.4.
Which version of Linux Lite live media did you install from initially ? Could be 7.0, 7.2 or 7.4 perhaps.
Did you confirm wifi worked from the live media boot before installing to disk ?
Did wifi work after the installation/first boot (before any upgrades were applied) ?
