Why is my Bluetooth working but not my WiFi after motherboard upgrade?

Asked By GizmoGuru87 On

I recently upgraded my motherboard from a Gigabyte B650 to an AsRock X870, and I'm facing an issue where my ASUS AXE5400 network card's Bluetooth functionality works perfectly, but WiFi doesn't. I reinstalled the drivers and rebooted the system, but the problem persists. Interestingly, the WiFi card doesn't show up in the Device Manager under network adapters, only under Bluetooth. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Have you checked the BIOS settings to make sure the WiFi is enabled? Sometimes, after a motherboard change, certain features might get disabled by default. Give that a go!

I tried looking for the setting, but I couldn't find anything related to it. Maybe I'm overlooking it?

I found a spare USB WiFi dongle and plugged it in—seems like WiFi is actually on in the BIOS since that worked!
