How to connect to Wi-Fi on desktop PC?

[pitromattio]

So, I recently built a PC with the MSI Z97 MPower Max AC motherboard because it had Wi.Fi antennas. I booted up the computer, installed all the drivers on Windows 10, but I still do not know how to connect to the Wi-Fi. Anyone knows?
Thank you

would have expected some sort of intel network manager if you installed the drivers

use live update and see what it finds

 

[pitromattio]

it requires internet...

 

[mcnumpty23]

i just tested the wifi driver--bloody thing crashed my pc since its the wrong hardware

but it installed intel pro set wireless manager so cant see why you dont have that in apps

 

[pitromattio]

tried downloading ANOTHER intel wifi driver and still nothing...

 

[pitromattio]

yes I downloaded intel pro set just now

 

[pitromattio]

sorry not pro set. can i have a link for the intel pro set wireless manager please?

 

[mcnumpty23]

its the link i already gave its 367.61mb thats why i thought it would have a software as well as a driver cos its bit big for only driver

http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_wifi.zip

and just leaving it at default installs pro set

 

[pitromattio]

well im not really sure what to do now to be honest...

the motherboard manual says an easily unpluggable Intel® Wi-Fi / Bluetooth module

please tell me its actually plugged into the motherboard??????????

 

[pitromattio]

it is. before installing the motherboard into the case I plugged it in and screwed it in tight. both antennas are screwed in the adapter too

 

[mcnumpty23]

thats a relief

but cant see why you arent getting a pro set wireless manager or intel wifi in device manager if its not disabled in the bios

 

[mcnumpty23]

is your bluetooth working?

 

[pitromattio]

I have checked every possible menu and sub-menu in the BIOS, and could not find any settings whatsoever

 

[mcnumpty23]

that could be right it may not have a disable option though would have thought it would

is bluetooth working just out of interest since its on the same module--though different driver obviously

 

[pitromattio]

have not tried bluetooth yet. i will try it right now

 

[pitromattio]

dont have anything to try it with though... but yeah, it's the same module, however it comes with two antennas, and both have to be connected

 

[mcnumpty23]

does bluetooth show in device manager?

 

[pitromattio]

nope

 

[mcnumpty23]

and no unknown devices in there either?

 

[pitromattio]

nope

 

[mcnumpty23]

hmmm just wondering if its a problem with the wifi/bluetooth module

guess taking it out and re-plugging it back in would be my next option
