re-deleted and re-installed the wi-fi drivers, but not the bluetooth driver (this wi-fi card also has bluetooth).

I'll note that I have no idea if that card even worked in that slot, because the day after I installed it, I had to move my computer out of the room with the hard-wired connection, into the kitchen where I've had to work since, on wi-fi.

Moved this wi-fi card down to the slot the LAN card was in.

Unfortunately I tried a few different things, so i don't know what the silver bullet was. I've been having to use a USB wi-fi dongle that constantly just drops out on me so that I have to turn off wi-fi and turn it on again, and then every 5-6 times, that stops working and I have to unplug it, and plug it back in again. Ugh.why do networking components always seem to have such GARBAGE documentation?Īnyway, I've submitted tech support requests from Gigabyte and Intel, and haven't gotten a reply after 4 days, and pulling my hair out. Although.I have to assume this is just a cord for USB pass-through for the seemingly un-used USB port on the card itself?

Or.maybe the cord isn't plugged in to the right spot on the motherboard? It says to connect the 'USB' cable to the 'F-USB' connector on the motherboard, but I didn't have one, so I plugged it into the JUSB1 connector. I wonder.if maybe I have too many things plugged in to my motherboard's PCI-e slots? (video card, gigabit network card, and this wi-fi card (my motherboard doesn't support gigabit, nor did it have built in wi-fi) along with an M.2 drive) Is that a thing?

I've tried un-installing and re-installing both Gigabyte's and Intel's drivers, i've tried restoring bios defaults (a suggestion I saw somewhere), many re-boots, to no avail.
