Dear.
Following the suggestion of the Asrock forum http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14610&title=z490mitx-ac-90mxbc00a0uayz-bifurcation where explain that Intel Wifi Card
3168ngw can be replaced, I replace it by my old https://es.aliexpress.com/item/32974196141.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.37a163c0fMnXj1 to increase Wifi reception and network speed. The card works perfectly because it was used in my macbook air laptop in windows and macOS.
As is not standard PCIE M.2 connector I plugged in https://es.aliexpress.com/item/4000300239745.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.37a163c0fMnXj1. After bootup to windows I installed correct drivers and the card was correctly identified. But I cannot connect to any Wifi network. Windows reports that there is available Wifi networks but nothing is display. Check this capture. https://imgur.com/je4s4ie
I tested this adapter+card in a Lenovo Laptop S540 14 and works perfectly.
So seems that may be a problem between Asrock Motherboard and Windows.
Please can you give me a solution?
Thanks

Any solution? I got exactly the same issue on H470M-itx mother board. I also have another ASRock Z490m pro4, and my Broadcom WiFi works on it.
