[SOLVED] MB not able to detect the PCIE network card

[JohnChong9788]

Recently I just bought the Tp-link Archer TX3000E (AX 3000 WiFi 6 Bluetooth 5.0 PCIE Adapter), when I slot in into the motherboard, my motherboard cannot detect it. I did slot in again my network card still not work, with the latest bios and driver installed, but still not working. I also try different slot but not working. When I slot in the device manager will not shown up, it appear at the hidden device. It only worked when I slot the network card during the PC is while the computer is running(Hot plugging), but need to open device manager and click the scan for hardware changes, so the WIFI and Bluetooth able to work. May I know is there any ways to fix ?

My PC Spec is

MB: Gigabyte B450 Aorus elite (BIOS version: F61 )

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500X

GPU: Zotac Rtx 3060 Ti twin edge OC

RAM: Adata XPG D41 (8GB x 2)

PSU: Corsair CV 650

do you have network disabled in bios?

You did install the drivers from the disk? Or download drivers installation from tp-link directly? It's not really a plug-n-play component.

Don't have this option in bios, so I just assumed is enable by default

Try the card in the Secondary x16 slot. Or somewhere in that bios is a setting for which Gen to run certain slots at, if the slots are on Gen3 or auto, anything put on them might not get auto recognised. The x1 slots are rated for Gen2.
