new motherboard wifi connection

finnvandermeer · Mar 31, 2017

Hello, i recently got a new motherboard (ASUS Z270E) and it says it has a built-in wifi connection, but when i connect the wifi adapter that is included it doesnt connect to any wifi connections.

Does it show up in the device manager? Is the antenna connected?

kanewolf :

no, i dont see it in device manager. The only things i see there are drivers i installed (from the asus website: bluetooth and LAN). Could it work if i reinstall those?
Thanks for responding by the way

Why did you selectively install drivers? Why not all the motherboard drivers?

kanewolf :

i did install all motherboard drivers, but they're not showing in ''Network Adapters". another question: why do drivers show in Device manager?

Drivers don't show up in Device manager. Devices do after they have the drivers loaded. You may have devices listed in "Unknown devices" Those would be hardware that don't have drivers available.

I think i found the device (not 100% sure). It's shown as "Network Controller" in "Other devices". It has a yellow exclamation mark (which means it doesnt have a driver installed) and when i click on "Update Drivers" it says there aren't any found. Do you know how i could find it?

There should be a driver on the disk that came with the motherboard. Otherwise go to Asus website and download it -- https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z270E-GAMING/HelpDesk_Download/

which should i download from that link?

I assume you would pick your OS (my guess is Windows 10 64 bit). There is one "Wireless" entry. It seems like that would be the correct thing.

I found it! I thought "LAN" was the one i should install but turned out it was "Wireless". Thanks for helping me out!
