为什么我的无线无法工作？ (Why Wont My Wireless Work?)

If you are following this guide on a laptop or even a desktop with a wireless card, you might be surprised to find that your wireless card is picked up and the driver gets installed but is disabled by default. To make things even worse when you try enable it, it just stays disabled. This is by design as you will almost never see a server using a wireless network, so they decided to make the WLAN AutoConfig Service completely optional. It can, however, be installed easily, again using the Features section of Server Manager. Once you have clicked on Add Features, scroll all the way down and select the Wireless LAN Service then click next and then install.

如果您在带有无线网卡的笔记本电脑甚至台式机上遵循本指南，可能会惊讶地发现无线网卡已安装并且驱动程序已安装但默认情况下处于禁用状态。 为了使事情变得更糟，当您尝试启用它时，它始终保持禁用状态。 这是设计使然，因为您几乎看不到使用无线网络的服务器，因此他们决定使WLAN AutoConfig Service完全可选。 但是，再次使用服务器管理器的“功能”部分，可以轻松安装它。 单击“添加功能”后，一直向下滚动并选择“无线LAN服务”，然后单击“下一步”然后安装。

You should reboot your PC again at this point. Once you log back on to your PC you should see that your Wireless is now working.

此时，您应该再次重新启动PC。 重新登录到PC后，您应该会看到无线设备正在工作。

You network icon should also change

您的网络图标也应该更改
