Info Gigabyte X870E Aorus Pro - How I Got The Built In WiFi 7 To Work

[MajorTom308]

Had a old HP CD/DVD drive in the case that was used rarely. Tried to use it, just would not work. Since I also have a USB external LG drive that I bought for my laptop could use that. Decided to remove the drive.

Now here is the interesting part...also have a mobile dock installed the I use for off- line storage. The mobile dock is connected to Sata 0 &1 ports. The CD/DVD drive was in Sata 2 port. After booting back up...the WiFi suddenly started working 👍

I figure the chipset shares with the WiFi and Sata port(s) 2 and maybe 3. I have been scouring the net for a solution, and alot of other people are having the same problem. I know it works for my motherboard, maybe others.

Do verify that I found the applicable User Manual.

No specific answer. However, read through the User Manual and pay close attention to supported configurations.

Section 2-8 may be the most relevant.

What you will need to do is sketch out some diagram(s) of connections/configurations that did not work and the configuration that began to work.

Likely that once the correct physical connections were made (which can include undoing something that is or was not correct) then Windows was able to load all of necessary drivers etc. in accordance with the necessary configuration settings.

And the wireless worked.
