How to activate motherboard built in wifi.

I just finished building my second pc, but don't know how to activate the motherboards built in wifi. Any help would be appreciated.

What motherboard do you have? Windows should've gotten the driver for you but, if it didn't, you'll need to go to your motherboard's support page and get it from there.

Also, make sure to attach the antennas to your motherboard.

Step 1. What motherboard do you have

Step 2. Listing what motherboard you have would really help

install the driver, that should turn on the wifi.

if not there should be an on off switch in the bios.

You can grab it from here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/MPG-Z390-GAMING-EDGE-AC#undefined

Just select your OS and the WiFi driver will be under LAN Drivers. You'll need the one called Intel WiFi driver.

 

While you are there you'll need the Chipset and the On-board Audio drivers as well.Intel

Very few people are going to check a 3+ year old post, if you need help try creating a new topic.
