Why isn't my built-in Wi-Fi showing up on my Gigabyte Eagle x870 motherboard?
Asked by

I'm having trouble with my Gigabyte Eagle x870 Wi-Fi motherboard. When I try to connect to Wi-Fi without using an Ethernet cable, the option doesn't show up. Instead, all I see is a Bluetooth option. The motherboard came with an IO port adapter that I plugged into the back, but that hasn't helped. In my device manager, I see the 'Realtek PCIe 2.5GbE Family Controller', but I'm not sure if that's the Wi-Fi driver. I also downloaded the Realtek LAN driver from the Gigabyte website. Am I missing something simple?

Make sure you download and install the correct drivers. You can find the Wi-Fi drivers at this link: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X870-EAGLE-WIFI7/support#dl.

Check if you might be in airplane mode! That can prevent your Wi-Fi from showing up. Go into your settings and see if it’s enabled.

Have you installed the specific Wi-Fi drivers yet? Sometimes the LAN drivers won’t cover Wi-Fi functionality, so you might need to get the dedicated Wi-Fi driver from Gigabyte's support page.
