Hi. So in September 2017 I bought this Archer T6E wireless adapter for my desktop because having a cable across my apartment isn't working out. I installed the adapter in, and my PC was not even starting up. It stays on the boot menu and sometimes blue screens. I took out the adapter, and everything worked fine. I have the driver files right now on my desktop ready to install but it seems my PC doesn't even want to boot with the hardware installed. I returned the item, uninstalled the required driver for the adapter and stayed with the Ethernet cable.
Now in the new year, i decided to try again but with a totally different adapter, the DLink AC1200 DWA-582. Guess what.. it does the exact same thing. I'm beginning to suspect that something in my mobo ins't letting it be connected or something. Is there a way to see if the PCI-E1 is enabled on my mobo and how would i do that.
Motherboard is the MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ( all drivers/BIOS are up to date and had it since late 2015. Still works great.)
This is very frustrating. Thank you all.
