Today I installed this motherboard into my computer. After installing Windows 8 (not 8.1), I inserted the driver installation software into my computer and proceeded to install all of the drivers. Every driver was installed except for the .NET framework, Bluetooth, and WiFi drivers. After restarting my computer and retrying installation multiple times, I went into the individual folders and attempted to manually install them myself. After that failed, I went to the ASUS website and attempted to install the WiFi driver for 8.1, which also failed.

I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My only suggestion is to connect the system to a physical port and update to 8.1 then install all the 8.1 drivers (or better yet 10).

Unless we can find the specific manufacture of the WiFi chip ((Intel, Realtek etc) we wont be able to find any Windows 8 drivers. Even then there might not be any.


Yes. the drivers I used to install on windows 8 came with the motherboard on a disk. When I went to look for an alternative, there were not any drivers listed under windows 8. I decided to check windows 8.1 for a solution, but that driver also failed.
