Wifi not enabling on X299 Taichi XE

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi everyone,
The wifi on my new windows 10 ASROCK X299 taichi XE continues to refuse to be enabled.

I updated to latest 1.40 bios 
updated the Intel wifi drivers to 20.70

still refuses to switch over to "on" even though everything else looks okay. I can connect via wired ethernet just fine.

other details
- both antennae are plugged in
- Samsung 970 pro NVME boot drive
- i9 7080xe cpu
- 128gb ddr4 g.skill ram @ 3200mhz

I've been searching tips, but everything points to updating the drivers above. 

The ASRock Wifi Utility is installed, but turning it on/off/closing it doesn't solve problem.

any other ideas or success people have had?

thanks so much

Brian

	First of try the Driver on the Motherboard Support page https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X299%20Taichi%20XE/index.asp#Download Does Bluetooth work? Because it uses the same antennas.
