Try these drivers from Intel:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/94854/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-3168

Note: The drivers on the Support CD are IMO included for those that don't have internet access. You really should update your drivers from this MB's download page(s):
http://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/X299%20Taichi/index.asp#Support

The CD drivers are now outdated.

HTH

Thanks! I'll give 3168 a try, and let you know if it works.

It's working! It turned out that my OS is not support by the driver! Now I upgrated to Win8.1, and both BT and WiFi drivers are working fine! Thank you so much! Tongue

Great to hear. You're welcome.

Yea, I just looked. 8 isn't yet 8.1 is.

Hi everyone,

I just built a new game rig with X299 Taichi. Everything was fine with my new X299 Taichi Mobo, untill I set two antennas up and realized I have a problem with Intel 802.11ac wireless controller. My Windows 8 pro doesn't recognize the Intel wireless controller which I don't know the specific model. In the device manager, there are two unrecognized devices under "other devices" folder, and the names of these two devices are "net controller" and "unknown". I installed all the drivers provided with the mobo's driver CD and Windows 8 pro do recogize a BlueTooth device, and this BT device's driver is a general one from Microsoft not Intel. I tried to connect my iPhone with BT. Windows can see my iPhone but my iPhone can't see my computer. So BT connection failed. I uninstalled the two unrecognized devices, and do a re-scan, and they are still unrecognized. Next, I update my UEFI to the latest version 1.60, and they are still unrecognized. I almost run out of ideas what should I do to let Windows recognize the Intel wireless controller. Does anybody know the specific WiFi controller model used in this mobo or have any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

My build:

CPU: i7-7800X

MOBO: X299 Taichi

MEMORY: Corsair Vengeance LPX 4x8GB

GRAPHIC CARD: MSI 1080 Ti Duke

SDD: 2x Sumsung 960 EVO 500GB RAID 0
