Great build except Wifi card not working/detected

[Matleg]

Hi,

So I've just finished my first build, everything went great except for one thing.
My TP-Link WDN4800 Pci-e card is not recognised by the system, and I'm pretty sure it's not working (max 2mb/s speed instead of way more).


I've checked the system report -> WI-FI -> Interfaces, and here's what I get :
Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x3112)

I''ve also run the drivers from the TP-Link website, which are telling me that no wireless card are recognised...

Did anyone have the same problem ?

Let me know if you need more details on my hardware/software installation process in order to help.

Best

As ridiculous as it sounds, try moving it to a different PCIe slot. Sometimes certain cards can be picky about which order they're installed in.

Thanks for your answer, but I only have 2 Pci-e slots, one for the graphics card and the other one for the network card...
