Itried that but device manager doesn't show any network adapter. I bought a macbook air just last week and installed windows 10 (education) on it. I see only 'network controller' in device manager. On a related note, I did have problems installing Windows 10 on this macbook. After Bootcamp assistant created the windows install disk on a flash drive, the computer restarted but did not automatically go to the install disk to bbot up. I had to restart it again and hold the option key for it to do that. So I still do not get the bootcamp screen when I startup. Could my problem be related to that?

I have a similar problem, except I am using a 2008/2009 iMac (I know, ancient by now) and Windows 7. I have been using Windows 7 on this Mac with wifi for a couple years now without apparent problems, but last week my Mac wouldn't boot up (stuck in endless loading at grey screen) (Windows side did boot up and appeared fine). Long story short, the Mac drive was corrupted and I ended up having to erase my Mac HD, reinstall the OS (I stick with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on that computer), and restore my files with a Time Machine back-up.


Now having done that the Mac side seems to be back to normal, but the Windows 7 now will not connect to the Wifi. I tried uninstalling broadcom as was suggested here and doing the hardware scan. Broadcom reappeared on the list but my wifi connection did not return. Any ideas?


I can see the wifi router but it won't connect and took some time to figure out why. My workaround this persistent connectivity issue is to unplug my external monitor before connecting to the wifi router. This indicates I may have a power supply or power management issue. This issue only occurs in Bootcamp, not macOS so it's more likely a power management issue than a power supply issue. Maybe the factory fitted dedicated NVidia GeForce 750M in the high-end late 2013 15" Macbook Pro uses a lot of power when piping to a 4K external monitor via displayport. Once I'm connected to wifi in Bootcamp I can plug the monitor back in and proceed without issues.


I am totally not sure about the true reason. But just to cope with this trouble, I believe it worth to try it. By the way, when I connect the external monitor, I use the USB-C port on right side (using USB-C > D-sub adapter).


If BC drivers are not installed yet, using Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support find the W8.1 64-bit drivers appropriate for your Mac year/model and test. W10 is not officially supported yet.


If you really want to play with it, install it in VirtualBox or VMWare Fusion or something. At least the networking functions will work that way. Setting custom screen resolutions is still difficult if not impossible as it doesn't work with the display drivers in most virtualization packages that provide custom scaling, etc.


I dual booted Ubuntu 17.10 in my windows 10.While working in windows wifi works fine! But in Ubuntu it is always showing "No wifi adapter found, Make sure you have a wifi adapter plugged and turned on"Not getting any solutions online! Tried some of them but not working! Help please


I recently add the AX200 Desktop Set to my PC build. Wifi works fine, but windows device manager can't find bluetooth device. I've tried some suggestions in the forums like checking & installing the driver, restarting bluetooth services, and finally checking the M.2 Key E Slot in my motherboard. Strangely, when I tried to boot from Linux Ubuntu LTS 20.04 FF, it detected all the capabilities of the network card, both BT and WIFI.


Have you found any solve to this issue for people who are having the issue persist through tons of wipes>restarts>installs>restarts? Personally I dont use the wifi or bluetooth other than for printing, I'm hard wired otherwise and recently went to print something today and notice both my bluetooth and wifi adapters gone. Looked for them in dev manager, both also gone. Did your solution a ton of times to no avail. Updated bios, tried again, nothing. For reference I'm using an Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Wifi, and normally my bluetooth/wifi adapters are disabled, but I can always see them and they're greyed out on my adapters page. I noticed they were just gone today and started troubleshooting and nothing has worked yet. I also did a network reset when all else failed, to try and get it to reinstall all the network adapters but that didnt work either. Anything else you got we can try? Would be greatly appreciated.


Yes, I unplugged my LAN connection and made sure windows displayed "no connection" on the taskbar. The WiFi on the AX200 works (it can find networks in search), but I didn't connect it to any network ever. Especially since windows informs me that I have no internet connection whenever I unplug the LAN cable.


If you're sure that you are staying disconnected, then keep uninstalling the drivers and rebooting until the drivers are gone. Remember that this is Wireless and BT both. In the BT case, the Intel driver is gone when you either don't see the device or you see the device listed generically with a Microsoft BT driver (I have modified my instructions above to make this clear). If this never happens (translation: you've done the uninstall/reboot, say, 10 times), then something is broken in your installation (most likely bad installer/uninstaller from Intel). You could try using Microsoft's troubleshooter (see this article for more information) or try one of the third-party driver driver removal products (I don't have a specific recommendation (I personally have never had to use one), but this article provides some recommendations).


If the Intel BT device is just not showing up, there may be a physical problem with your adapter (this is not the only discussion of modules whose Wireless is working fine but BT not at all). It may, however, be a problem with your motherboard's BIOS, so check for BIOS updates.


I have tried the above solution repeatedly and BT simply does not appear in Device Manager. I've uninstalled the devices and all existing drivers then installed the latest Intel drivers (22.80.1 64-bit) for both WiFi and BT. Device Manger shows the WiFi with the correct Intel driver, but no BT at all.


Are there any other solutions? Is this problem also present with newer Intel M.2 adapters like AX210 and AX211? has anyone found another M.2 card that works? Since many other brand M.2 cards use the Intel chipset, I don't want to replace the Intel AX200 card only to find that the replacement card still uses the Intel drivers and doesn't work either.


Same here... No joy using AX200 or AX201 on a Panasonic CF-C2, which comes standard with this type of card. Not this level of card, but the same type only an older model. Everything works really well on this PC and we use it for vehicle diagnostics. The only thing lacking is the network performance. So far, I've tested three different types. Initially, a Chinese seller's version and then genuine Intel direct from Intel. Then a desktop version that also uses e-Key - only I didn't use the antennae that comes with the package.


Unfortunately I have the same problem with bluetooth on AX200. Im very confuset of that. I bought this Wi-Fi card especially for built in BT module. So... I have modern B560 motherboard and still can't to encourage BT module to work. Today I bought separate USB BT key and it works like a charm!


I did the same thing. After testing multiple different units (AX200, AX210, etc.) the problem persisted, so I kept the AX210 installed and purchased an ultra-low-profile USB Bluetooth 5.1 adapter and it works flawlessly.

I have had the Deco M5 mesh system in my home for about 8 months now and love it, except... I have one laptop running Windows 10 which is able to connect to the network but not to the internet. The laptop is less than a year old and I have no issues with any other wifi network other than this one.


I found a post of a guy who has a similar sounding issue, but there was no resolution in the forum thread. He said he was able to connect using a guest network, which I tried and it works, but this is less than ideal. -link.com/en/home/forum/topic/112219


@ Jonow6 Hello! I was able to solve the problem with windows 10. In the Advanced Menu, there is an option that says Operation Mode. Just change from Router Mode to Access Point. With this, all my windows 10 devices connected wihtout problem. I hope it helps you.


@Jonow6 Hi - I had the same issue with my laptop and used the method you suggested and its worked. Only issue is that none of the parental controls work now - did you find a way of fixing this without using the access point? Ive also had to go onto all Alexas and re add the network. It is working but at a cost :(


After the last update for Windows 11 insider (Home). The driver for the wireless card stopped working. There is already a guide on the issue on Intel's boards, but it is not working either. So i think the issue is with the Windows.


I managed to bring my Killer wireless network adapter back - after wasted a whole morning. Windows updated overnight and I lost the card after that. This was the error I saw in Event Viewer:






@OussD After a lot of research, the problem is usually solved by resetting the bios to default, mainly on dell laptops. The problem is caused after doing bios update or installing windows 11.

Also don't forget to install the updated drivers.
