Check if your motherboard supports Wi-Fi directly or requires a separate card.
Check if your motherboard supports Wi-Fi directly or requires a separate card.
You recently installed a new PC featuring the Gigabyte B760M gaming x ax DDR4 motherboard, which includes a Wi-Fi antenna. It’s unclear if the board itself has an integrated Wi-Fi system since you’ve added the antenna and aren’t detecting your network on Windows. You might need a separate Wi-Fi card for full functionality.
Obtained the LAN drivers from the motherboard website. Recent Windows installation didn’t include them, so downloaded USB versions. A Wi-Fi antenna also requires a corresponding Wi-Fi card.
I've experienced delays in getting drivers for newer WiFi cards on Windows. This model seems to be missing updates, which is typical for older system versions. Based on Gigabyte's info, it could be a Realtek chip or an Intel Wi-Fi 6E card, depending on the specific board version.
I worked through it on my AM5 board and struggled for a while too. Being accustomed to Windows with a standard driver for years really surprised me.
It occurred only once before, and now I simply use the drivers on my standard installation USB with any additional software that runs smoothly on a computer.
You should verify the motherboard revision first. Your link was for the broader section, not the specific driver. No worries if it seemed unclear. Also, did you need to enable Wi-Fi in Settings?
