Hello there!
(Hope this is the right place to post this...) After much research and debate and theory crafting, I built my first PC today. It's all gone pretty well, except it can't find its wifi.
As the title suggests, I put in as Asrock Z97M-ITX/ac which comes with an 802.11ac Wifi/Bluetooth card. But now that I've installed windows and am poking around, it's nowhere to be seen! Weirdly, though, under "other devices" it DOES list Bluetooth... But no wifi anywhere.
This being my first build, I don't even really know what SHOULD have happened under ideal circumstances. I certainly don't know how to troubleshoot or go about fixing it. I was hoping someone wiser and more experienced might help me out.
In case it helps, here are all the bits-
CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asrock Z97M-ITX/ac
Memory: Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Intel 530 Series 180GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 650 1GB Video Card
Case: BitFenix Prodigy (Orange) Mini ITX Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair CSM 450W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Thanks!
