XP connection to a Fidium wireless modem

Previously I had my old reliable XP OS hooked up to a wireless WiFi modem and it was working. Fidium installed a new hi speed modem and now I can’t seem to find the Installation Wizard for a wireless system. The XP won’t go on line. I do have a new Windows 11 desktop available so I’m thinking I can go on line, get the wizard file on a flash drive and install it on the XP OS.

I followed the Youtube instruction in the picture - didn’t work.

Is this possible? I want to keep using my XP, as it’s the only desktop I’m comfortable on and navigates beautifully. It’s a tool, not an Easter bonnet. I don’t need fancy; I need workable.

 

Just click on the icon in the lower right corner (system tray) that show a balloon popup 'Wireless networks detected'.



You will then see a list of available wifi networks. Click on the one you want to connect you then enter the password which should have been provided by your ISP.

 

Back then some wireless cards would substitute the XP wireless icon with their own software. I think realtek would put little blue crab in the task bar and you would connect through that. But I think most nowadays just rely on Windows Wireless zero configuration

 

If my toolbar and settings only show LAN, no icon, grey drop down options, nothing, for WiFi, does this mean it doesn't have a driver installed? Do I need to go on amazon and find a "wifi card" or something similar? Thank you in advance!
