The Asus WiFi drivers aren't installing and the installer isn't working.
I've attempted various solutions without success. The Asus WiFi drivers keep failing to install, sometimes causing errors like "Does not support this operating system WNT_6.2P_64" or similar versions. Running in Windows 8 compatibility mode triggers the same warning. Switching to Windows 7 compatibility also results in the same issue. Using Vista compatibility mode shows "Does not support this operating system wnt_6.0P_64". I've tried different Asus drivers, Intel options, and even extracted files from various locations using built-in tools like WinRAR. Despite these efforts, the problem persists. The card is an Intel AX211 m.2 Key E adapter, and I added a WiFi Bluetooth module because I already had an Ethernet cable. It's been almost three weeks, and I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the update. I can proceed by downloading the driver and extracting the files. When attempting to run the Asussetup executable, it doesn’t work unless I enable compatibility mode, after which an error appears. (I’ll take a screenshot later today; these details aren’t very clear.)
To achieve smooth performance, you need to install the chipset drivers first. Also, obtaining the internal card is necessary for operation.
Hi, thank you for your queries. 1. Chipset drivers are set with the latest release. 2. Device manager recognizes both the ax211 WiFi and Bluetooth chips but marks the driver as missing. 3. The automatic driver installation on Windows cannot locate the appropriate driver.
It seems odd you haven't noticed the onboard Wi-Fi, since it should be near the sound ports. Your question about the operating system is important—some systems only support Windows 10. You mentioned trying to install drivers in compatibility mode; I’d suggest running it as an administrator if possible. According to the spec sheet, it only works with a V-M.2 slot and requires a separate key E, CNVi, and PCIe bracket. Many users face driver installation problems, so you could try unpacking the installer and manually adding the drivers yourself. Remove any devices from the Computer Manager and re-scan for devices to check if they appear correctly.
The "Asus prime z590-p" lacks built-in WiFi, while the "Asus prime z590-p WiFi" version isn't available. I'm setting it up on Windows 10 with or without admin privileges, but the drive won't open. I've tried using compatibility mode for Windows 7/8. The model and bracket were purchased separately. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Appreciate your help!

Old thread but I made an account just to say that if you're here and struggling with installing WIFI or any other ASUS drivers what I did was install them from ASUS's driver HUB : https://driverhub.asus.com Let the thing run and it will detect all the necessary drivers, select the ones you need and it'll install them. My WIFI drivers work now.
Thank you for your details. To wrap up, the ax211 line isn't well supported by 11th Gen Intel processors. Although the ax210 and ax201 are compatible, certain features have been removed from the CPU chip in newer models, making the ax211 WiFi chip unsuitable for those CPUs. I purchased an ax201 right away—it worked perfectly without any issues.
