Hello!
Recently I decided to upgrade my computer by installing a new ssd in my secondary M.2 slot(since my first slot is already being used by a primary ssd which contains my OS/windows10). However, after installing it and booting up the PC, I could no longer connect to my PC via Wi-Fi.
For information, I’m using a stationary PC, with a Rog Strix X470-f motherboard, where I have installed a network card that enables me to use Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet cable.
The ssd that I installed was Corsair MP510 and aside from the Wi-Fi problem, it was installed successfully.
what I have tried so far:
- restarting the computer several times.
- switching place of the network card to another PCIe slot.
- switching network card for an identical network card.
- Rearranging the antennas for my network card.
- Reinstalling the network via windows.
- disabling my malware protection program.
I’m starting to run out of ideas. I have looked around on the web but not found a clear solution to the problem. I know it’s not my router that is the problem since other devices can connect to it without any problems. However, I’m starting to wonder if there was some kind of short circuit on the motherboard, since it had some dust on it. Although the rest of the computer works fine and according to the manual there’s no bad lights showing up.
Do you guys have any suggestions on possible solutions for my problem?
