" rel="nofollow - 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.

I'll check out that driver -

yes bluetooth does work, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing

thanks

UPDATE: Tried the drivers from the mobo page (downgraded version btw) and still nothing.

bluetooth works fine,

lan works fine.

wifi just won't turn on

Thanks again if anyone has additional suggestions

Brian

Dear Bvalente,

Thank you for choosing ASRock.

Please set the BIOS WAN radio option to enable to try.

BIOS path: Advanced > Chipset Configuration > WAN radio

*Press F10 to save the configuration after changing the BIOS setting

Thank you!

Yours truly,

ASRock TSD
