Wifi is not working. Unable to use my home wifi network from my new build with z87 pro wifi b/g/n board.

There were 3 items in device manager that I HAD to install from the cd. First was the LAN drivers which without I couldn't even connect to the internet (I have a LAN cable into a wireless receiver). After that it was the SM Bus (?) and the Wifi (I think, it showed up as yellow ? with the name 'network connection' or something in device manager). I tried downloading from the Asus driver section for the board but no joy, had to use the cd.

Mine did the same thing recently. Uninstall the drivers for several of the WiFi/Internet using the driver uninstall of jut remove them. Reboot the computer and the devices will be found again and will reinstall the drivers. Once that happens my computer was able to use the internet. Else on the ASUS website there are several recommended procedures. Good Luck

you need to install the wi-fi engine .. This Software comes with the driver DVD provided inside the Motherboard Box.Thanks

If WiFi is not working, make sure you have updated your z87 drivers. In some cases, you can't even use your Ethernet port without updating mobo drivers. I would call Asus if issues persists after getting updated drivers. You might have to download the drivers onto an external in order to apply them if you're unable to connect to the internet. I am able to detect my Wireless networks with 3 bars, except my router is 4 feet away. So definitely attach the antenna that came along with it.

Are you referring to after you've connected to the card? If so, go into your wifi settings choose the WiFi connection you want and reconnect.I wasn't aware of the firm ware update mentioned and will look to upgrade mine.

the chipset (RT2070) this device uses is kind of old now, and it looks like the manufacturers website (www.ralinktech.com) is either down right now or they have folded. you may have better luck with something that uses a newer wifi chipset.

This computer does in fact have a 3.0 USB port. Is it hooked up to the motherboard? Yes. If it wasn't I'm sure my Wireless Network Adapter would not have worked.

MP, A thought (hope I'm not too late). For less than the cost of shipping your netbook to someone for repair you can probably just purchase a new (better) wi-fi card. A very popular one is the Intel 5300 AGN. It adds (draft) N to the existing B and G capability (assuming you have a 1000HA) and has much better range than the OEM card. I put one in my HA and there's a world of difference (150 to 300 mbps depending on distance to router compared to 54 mbps for the stocker) The Intel 5300 is commonly available on eBay for under $20 and installation in the HA is ultra easy. The card is right under the access hatch where the memory and hard drive are located. Cheers

You need to buy a wireless adapter. This is what I used. Gigabyte GC-WB300D 1Mbps/2Mbps/3Mbps Data Rate Exclusive Bluetooth 4.0/Wi-Fi Expansion Card Motherboard. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081Y0Y4E/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So far, I can't get the WiFi to connect on mine. I've done the firmware upgrade, but that didn't help. It sees the router with a strong signal, but won't connect when I enter the code. So, I'm using the cable for now, but if that's all that works, I should take this one back and get the one without WiFi that is $70 less.

As the others suggested, first make sure the cables are good. Are you using the wifi dongle or are you connected via an Ethernet cable? I had problems using the dongle due to signal strength. I then connected directly to the modem, acquired an ip address via DHCP and it started working.

Not out of the box. If you want Wi-Fi with this board, you'll need to get an adapter. If you want built-in Wi-Fi, you should look at the H97N model.http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Wi-Fi-Bluetooth-Motherboard-GA-H97N-WIFI/dp/B00KATHCD4

Update: This thread got me wired just now...Wireless is in the works. [ndiswrapper isn't so friendly to this one for some reason - perhaps I nabbed the wrong wireless driver..]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409939

The power adapter has a signal wire in it that is known to fail and it sounds like the BIOS isn't recognizing it. Have you tried using another ac adapter?

Any answers on this, by chance? If wifi doesn't work, then I'll just have to stick to my USB hub, external speakers, power and VGA cables! So much for easy portability : 0

This mobo does not have wireless installed, so you would have to go the PCI-E route. If this is for gaming purposes, I wouldn't worry about Wifi. Just go with an Ethernet cable, but you will have to install the drivers from the disc provided with the mobo. At least I had to.

Try power the device off then restart it. Make sure that you're not using a weird encryption combination on your router (wpa should be enough). It works on most of wifi networks that I used on.

Ditto Mark Cook's response. You can get a wi-fi card for the mother board or Linkys makes a USB plug in wi-fi adapter. Hope this helps.JD Ennis

try download the driver for the wifi. but it won't solve the problem 100%. also upgrade to windows 8.1

Better not try. My device only worked once, now unable to work anymore, although my home WiFi is excellent.
