Just built a new system using this the Asrock Fatal1ty X99 professional gaming i7. Everything is outstanding, apart from the Intel wifi!
Doesn't pick up any of my home networks (or surroundings at all). Does pick up my phone using a mobile hotspot, but only if it's right next to it.
The signal strength is extremely low/weak - almost non existant.
I'm using the latest bios and all drivers are up to date (from ASRock website). Would anyone have any other ideas I could try (not listed below)?
Really don't want to have to return the board or find another one from a different manufacturer. I love everything else. Build specs are below.
Cheers,
John
What I've checked/done already:
1. Antennas are plugged in properly.
2. I've tried resetting all network connections.
3. Reinstalled all drivers - multiple times.
4. Reset Windows 10 from scratch.
5. Turned off fast boot in bios.
6. Made sure nothing is interfering with signal around case and antennas.
7. Used Intel drivers instead (direct from their website rather than Asrock).
8. Reset to optimised bios defaults.
9. Pulled out other expansion cards.
10. Checked network sharing options.
11. Turned firewall on/off.
12. Jumped up and down on the spot.
