Issue with wifi on new build for Gigabyte B650 Gaming AX X V2 mobo and AMD 7800x3d

VinSen · May 21

Finished a build, and installed windows through jaystwocents method of bypassing Windows access to my network via oobe\bypassnro so I didn't have to make an account. Went along as you normally would and now I'm having an issue having any network show up, and the Wifi option itself is not even there. I do have an authetic MS key and did use that. I'm kind of guessing it didn't install the wifi drivers that normally automatiicaly come with Windows 11 install? In any case I can't get wifi. I also went into BIOs and enabled network stack there. Tried troubleshooting helpers on MS and nothing happened as well. I also installed the Gigabyte LAN Windows 11 Driver (not the preinstall though since it didn't let me out of the 3 files), the AMD Chipset driver ([6.03.19.217] most recent version), and an Audio Driver. I'm not sure where to go next since I was assuming the LAN driver was the right thing to download, and I can't specifically find a "wifi driver" on the Gigabyte website under the downloads page. If you need anything from me I'll try to provide what I can. Thank you!

I think LAN is only Ethernet drivers, I think there are also WiFi drivers that need installed

WLAN is Wifi

I assume the W stands for Wireless

Alrighty... Wellppp let me just try this out and I'll let ya'll know how it be. I thank you in advance if this does work, but also thank you for your time! I'm also guessing I download not just the Realtek, but also the AMD wifi as well? Do they do 2 different things?
