Hello all!
I recently replaced my nvidia 660 with a 980. It was a little tight to fit the 980 in with the wifi card still in there so I took out the wifi card for installation. Since it would be better for airflow, I re-installed the wifi card in the PCIE slot below my graphics card; this moved the wifi card from PCIE01 to PCIE03 or 04 I think. When I booted my computer up again, I had no internet connection and the wifi card did not show up on my devices. I though it was maybe just the slots that were the problem, so I managed to fit the wifi card back in its original slot in PCIE01. When I booted again, I still had the same problem. Even though the light on the back of the wifi card is on, my computer still does not detect the wifi card. I am using an ASUS PCE-AC68 Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 wifi card if that helps any bit. Also, I thinking that the problem can be fixed along the lines of my mobo's BIOS or the card's drivers, I just don't know exactly what do do.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

I found the card if I looked at hidden devices. Should updating the drivers still fix the problem or would more complicated methods be necessary for the repair?
Thanks for the reply!

Try updating the drivers first, download them from the manufacturer website.
