Why isn’t my Gigabyte Eagle x870 WiFi motherboard showing the WiFi option?
Asked by

I recently bought the Gigabyte Eagle x870 WiFi motherboard. I'm trying to connect to wireless WiFi, but I can't seem to find the WiFi option—it only shows Bluetooth. The motherboard came with an IO port adapter that I connected at the back, but that hasn't helped. In the device manager, I see a network adapter labeled 'Realtek PCIe 2.5GbE Family Controller', and I downloaded the Realtek LAN driver from Gigabyte's website. Is there something I might be missing?

Make sure you download the right drivers from the Gigabyte support page for your motherboard. Installing those should resolve the issue. Here's a link to make it easier for you: [Gigabyte Drivers](https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X870-EAGLE-WIFI7/support#dl)

Also, double-check that your computer isn’t in airplane mode. That can sometimes disable the WiFi signal without you realizing it!

Have you installed the Wi-Fi drivers? That might be the issue since the WiFi option typically won't show up if the drivers aren't installed.

CuriousTechie77: Would that be the same as the LAN driver? I didn’t see anything labeled 'WiFi' on their website, maybe I’m just overlooking it.
