Boot Over Network on an ASUS Z97 Board?

[Shaan5]

I have been having issues with my PC Taking forever to restart, I eventually figured out that it was my WiFi Dongle that had been causing it.
Someone proposed that the fix was disabling something called BOOT Over Network in the BIOS but I don't know where the setting is.
The only network related thing that I found was network Stack which led to 2 other options Ipv4 PXE and ipv6 PXE

Any Ideas?

Check in Boot Menu (scroll down), see if Launch CSM to Enabled and try setting Boot from Network Devices to Ignore.

I get a bit worried when changing BIOS Settings so Is this what you mean
In Advanced>Boot>CSM, there are a few options but Launch CSM Is enabled by default and Boot from network devices is set to "Legacy Oprom First."
Should I just change it from Legacy Oprom First to Ignore.
is there any chance that this could mess with my PC
Just want to make sure

Thanks

Yes, just switch to Ignore. Nothing wrong will happen. Try also in Boot menu to remove the "Removable drive" from the boot options, or move the option at the end of the list.

There is no removable drive in the boot menu for me, Just the SSD and HDD

I did it and it didn't work Unfortunately, I'm at a complete loss. When I hit the boot menu button, All that comes up is the SSD and HDD. Any ideas?

EDIT: I have the dongle plugged into a Front USB 2.0 Port BTW, Although I have tried all of them with no Success

Anything?

EDIT: I went ahead and reinstalled the driver but It still didn't work.
It seems to be an issue where the PC Senses the Internet and Doesn't restart properly or something

I just Disconnected from the Internet and restarted but I left the Dongle in. The Dongle is a USB device, So could it be that the USB is waking it up, not the internet connection itself

What do you mean?

I just tested it where I disconnected from the internet but I left the WiFi Dongle in and then I restarted and it still took forever meaning that it's not the internet connection that's causing the Issue, it's the dongle itself
The only thing that fixes it is unplugging the dongle

Is it the same if plugged in USB 2.0 or 3.0 ?

I've tried every Port, One of the ports doesn't work for some reason, It says your USB Malfunctioned or something

No other idea than unplugging it, then.
