Question My TP Link TL-WN781ND not detected

[blackarrow]

Hello

I put my TP Link wireless card into PCI EX4 slot on my Gigabyte Z87-HD3 MoBo. However, the card is not detected at all, I am using Internet via built in wireless adapter on the MoBo.
I tried installing drivers from the TP website but it says again that the card is not detected at all.
What I can do?

What else do you have in slots?
What CPU?

i5-4670k
Only one GPU MSI 1050Ti in the upper slot.

That CPU has just 16 PCIe lanes. So they must all go to the video card. That means that the PCIe lanes for the other slots come from the motherboard chipset.
Which you can see in this graphic -- https://www.manualslib.com/manual/666532/Gigabyte-Ga-H87-Hd3.html?page=8

That motherboard doen't have "built-in" WIFI that I can see. Could you have a card in one of the x1 slots?

I put it in X1 slot (just under the GPU) but nothing changed.
