Problem with Asus wireless device failing to launch
Hi, your Asus PCE-AC68 Wi-Fi card is functioning properly with the latest drivers. The main issue seems to be that the Asus wireless utility software won’t open for you. You mentioned seeing online guides on how to access it, but after installing them, nothing appears. Your driver version is confirmed as v2143, and the attached photos show the utility installed. When you click the highlighted app in the images, it doesn’t launch.
People usually skip WiFi tools and stick to Windows' native features because they think those are more dependable.
Windows XP on up comes with its own wireless tool already. It makes sense to rely on what the OS provides—it functions well and is part of the system. There’s no need to add this software on your device. The inclusion of these features remains unclear to me.
Verify if the WiFi card has restrictions on scanning available channels. This device seems very selective about the frequency band used for its 5GHz signal.
Additionally, Windows doesn't allow much customization. The tool might handle things more effectively.
The router handles channel selection. Not every WiFi router or card works with all 5GHz bands. DFS channels came later. What needs to be set up? Usually you pick a network and proceed. Most adjustments are made on the router side.
