[charlesdubenaud12]

Hi, for an unknow reason my pc won't find the motherboard's wifi adapter.
I'm on windows 11.

Wifi adapter isn't showing in my device manager.



But it show's here and clearly states it's not present?

Is this your motherboard;

ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) | Motherboards | ROG Global

rog.asus.com

?

If so, what BIOS version are you currently on for said motherboard? Have you tried manually uninstalling your WiFi adapter's drivers and then manually reinstalling with the latest version in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?

Hi, bios version 2021-04-07.

No i haven't been able to do so because wifi adapter doesn't appear on my device manager... funny thing is when i try to install it by manually adding it, it adds a #2 next to it as if i allready had another one installed but that doesn't show.

Updated bios but still no change.

Thank you for taking time to help me, it's appreciated.

Allright, i'm starting to think about a defective mobo. I went in device manager and selected the ''Show hidden devices'' option and now my wifi pops-up.

But then when i go on it's properties it shows that's it's not connected to the computer.
Thing is it's built in to my mobo?

Hi, i ended up by turning the power off and unplugging the cord to open and inspect my mobo. surprise when i plugged it back on wifi was back on track. Probably the ''unplugged'' part that did the trick.. anyway thanks for the support.
