Why isn't my Windows 11 desktop finding any Wi-Fi networks?
Asked by

I've been struggling with a connection issue on my Windows 11 desktop for about six months now. It started after I moved to a new house, which makes me think it might be a hardware issue. My motherboard is an MSI B650 GAMING PLUS with Wi-Fi 6E, and the wireless module is supposed to be pre-installed. I've tried all the usual troubleshooting steps from Reddit and tech support, but nothing has worked. I'm hesitant to open up my case without some guidance. Any suggestions?

Have you tried reinstalling the Wi-Fi drivers from the MSI support page? That can often resolve connectivity issues like this one.

Just checking to make sure—did you install the Wi-Fi antenna? If it's mounted correctly, the issue likely isn’t with the board itself. Also, what driver version are you using? This board comes with either Realtek or AMD Wi-Fi, so ensure you’re downloading the right one. You can find the drivers on MSI's support site [here](https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B650-GAMING-PLUS-WIFI/support#driver).
