Received a new ax3000 PCIe Wi-Fi card as an upgrade to my old USB adapter, but it’s not connecting properly. Only Microsoft Defender seems to be reacting, and Bluetooth works sporadically. Uncertain if this affects anything, though I have an MSI B450 MORTAR MAX with both M.2 slots active and the card in the lower slot.

Some useful tips I found: turn off the original adapter, reinstall the official driver, disable Bluetooth and check BIOS settings. Look for a specific configuration option there. For more details, see the forum thread [here](https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/fo...pic/215446).
