@@NuclearMods I was going to do a review on that case. I built in it once before. All of the AMD Radeon cards are better performance to dollar. Its a solid choice!
Thank you! Depending on your rev. #, look on gigabyte site and itll tell adapter chipset used. At least mine did for 1.5. Update 1/30/24 - wifi works natively with win11. However, on the 1.5 rev boards BT should be 5.0 (LMP 9) and it's showing up as 4.2 (LMP 8) with MS driver or the one from gigabyte. Solution is the same as up above to manually point to the BT driver after trying to install it from the package.
That is why I called out the revision in the video, they use different hardware on the earlier boards and I did not have an earlier version of the board to test with to confirm if it is even an issue.
Hola, se que puedo ser el primer comentario en español, pero muchas gracias a este canal y me funcionó sin problema los drivers a mi placa. Te mereces mucho más.
Hey there I am from Nepal I have a also same problem this motherboard I searching everywhere but not find it best solution but you give me quick idea and best option for this Wi-Fi not showing this is the number one and best idea thank you for this things and I subscribe your channel also❤❤❤
The way I fixed the Wi-Fi card driver error was by downloading Gigabyte’s APP CENTER. Through this software, I installed any missing drivers. Apparently, it missed some kind of AMD Wi-Fi driver. The APP CENTER downloaded it and the Wi-Fi works!
Hey great video. I love the graphic card background. And we can talk about some of that more later if you wanted to hear a story. But the problem I'm having with my WiFi is that the signal works better with the antennas off of the motherboard. What do you think would be causing that
I've not seen that issue before, but it might be damaged antennas or a bad connection from the wifi card on the board to the screws on the back of the board. I would do a ping test with the antenna on and off and compare.
Hi there, I’m new to this and when I try to download the Realtek wlan, it only shows intel WiFi. My pc doesn’t have any internet so I had to use my school Chromebook. Any help would be appreciated
Hey there, You might have a different version of the board. They released many versions of the B450M DS3H Wifi Motherboard. I would confirm which version you have. Generally the version number is located on the bottom left side of the board near the HD audio header. Might also be listed in the bios.
Would this work for the b650 eagle ax as the I’m running a Realtek PCIe GbE Family controller and so am about to download and install a Gigabyte WiFi driver? Edit: Mobo is a Revision 1.0 but when I tried to install WiFi driver to USB it shows as an application is that still good for me to install onto my PC?
Hey man. This is great, although my issue is a little different: I do have the wifi option available and the device recognized, but there aren't ANY networks available, the list is just empty. With my other computer and my phone I can see there are at least 14 networks. Any idea if this should work or I might have to try something else? Thanks!
I would try and uninstall the current drivers and download/install latest drivers. If that still doesn't work it might be a compatibility issue with the wifi network and the Wi-Fi card, just a thought.
I did that but it was Intel drivers since it says the wifi card is Intel (the one on this same motherboard, B450M). Also, seems unlikely the card would be incompatible with every network around. Thanks, though!
Mine was working fune for 1.5 years but is now in unbelievably slow in both Win10 and LinuxMint. Didnt change / update anything. All other machines on the network are running fine. Any ideas?

You can go to the manufacturers website for your motherboard and make sure to download the correct driver and test to see if you have better results. The problem you are facing could be many things. It could be that you have too much traffic on your wifi. Or it could be that you are too close or too far away from the router or modem hosting the wifi. Or it could be the modem or router that's the issue. You would need to go through a process of elimination to determine what the problem is for this issue

It would have to be the wifi version of this board to have wifi or Bluetooth. You can download and use the app called CPUZ and it will tell you the exact motherboard you have. If it does not include "Wifi" in the model then it's not a wifi version of the board.
@@Arexiox The WiFi card on that board is the Realtek® Wi-Fi RTL8821CE you can download the drivers directly from Realtek here: www.realtek.com/Download/List?cate_id=669&menu_id=297
This is not the same board as in the Video, Your board with the added "CF" most likely is from IBuyPower or CyberPower which is a unique board specifically made and sold by them. I would reach out to their support since we do not have access to their BIOS updates or Drivers.
So I bought a Z790 AORUS PRO X and it does not have support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers on windows 10. Anyone know of a work around or how to add support??
which version of the board is it? (it matters because there is different wireless hardware depending on the MB version) Z790 AORUS PRO X 1.0 or 1.1 or 1.2
I have a Asrock b560M-C and I dont have the wifi antennas and my wifi dosent work do I need antennas or is my wifi motehrboard glitched because I heard you dont need antennas but my wifi dosent work help.Btw I have no wifi bars.
Yes, the WiFi and Bluetooth will function without the antenna's BUT it will function poorly. It is always recommended to install the antenna's. If you don't have them you can always purchase new ones on Amazon which are around $20 USD.
hello can you help me I have wifi driver already but it keeps random disconnecting, i tried this method that u teach but I dont have any contents inside that pack folder.

hi, thanks for reply. its the gigabyte b450 M DS3H WIFI rev 1.5 with ryzen 9 3950x, i returned it 3 times , then i replaced the wifi hardware with a rev 1.4 motherboard wifi hardware and it works perfectly but i still need to find out why the new one isn't detected as hardware @@empowergamingcomputers
@@elevate1383 detected as hardware, I assume this means it's not being listed in the Device Manager? There might be physical issues with the board if it's for sure the wifi version of the board and no wifi hardware is showing up in the Device Manager.
yes it is not listed in device manager list. when i replaced the wifi adapter with a similar one from a 1.4 rev board it worked on the new motherboard so it is a wifi hardware issue. the strange thing is i exchanged the new motherboard 3 times from the seller and all the new rev 1.5 boards had the same issue so far.@@empowergamingcomputers reinstalled windows, new drivers, latest bios still cant be detected or seen listed in device manager
Technically it can be but you would need to go to the B550 Support page on Gigabyte not the B450 page shown and linked. The B550 also has a revision version so keep that in mind when searching on their website.
@@rohidkhenglawt The B550 DS3H AC comes in several revisions, its important to make sure you select the correct revision for your board. The box will list the revision number. If you do not have the box the bottom left corner of the board near the HD Audio header will generally list the board revision number such as REV. 1.5 The Gigabyte B550 DS3H AC comes in the following revisions: 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 and then 1.4 and 1.7
So I tried this and no pack file gets made it says it’s extracting and creates a file with just the downloaded file but that’s all it does. I had a usb device error so I swapped out to an wifi 6e ax210 and that error went away but still doesn’t work I have a rev 1.0 board
@@fabrexous1511yes my issue I had was that the antenna that attaches to the circular contact on the wifi chip was damaged. Bought a new antenna and it works no issue. So make sure that it’s connected correctly or their isn’t any damage
no i had this mother since like the beginning of 2022 and havent tried to resolve the issue till now and just been using a wifi adapter@@empowergamingcomputers

thanks man! this saved my life! the magic is real! whole day wasted trying to figure this out and this 5min video is all that i needed hahaha
I still don't know why this issue occurs, I am happy to hear this information helped out!
Thank You :)
Happy to hear this helped out!
Do I need to connect antenna to motherboard with inbuilt wifi for wifi connection?
Yes, if you do not use the antennas the signal will be poor for both Wifi and Bluetooth.
I followed all the steps except when I goto device manager I can’t find my network controller is there any way to fix that ?
What is your exact motherboard model?
@@empowergamingcomputers the GIGABYTE B450 DS3H WIFI-CF
This is not the same board as in the Video, Your board with the added "CF" most likely is from IBuyPower or CyberPower which is a unique board specifically made and sold by them. I would reach out to their support since we do not have access to their BIOS updates or Drivers.
I can try to do a remote session/support call to see if I can help further, but you would need an internet connection for me to connect.
So I bought a Z790 AORUS PRO X and it does not have support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers on windows 10. Anyone know of a work around or how to add support??
which version of the board is it? (it matters because there is different wireless hardware depending on the MB version) Z790 AORUS PRO X 1.0 or 1.1 or 1.2
Installed the newest driver from a usb drive and didn’t have to manual do it in the system. B550M Auros AX
@@LoneWolf1985BK most B550 boards do not seem to be impacted. Mostly I've only seen the problem with this B450
Bro you made video for me ❤❤
Awesome, Glad it has helped! Ill continue to put more videos like these out.
Saved my life bro ❤❤❤
I am glad it helped!
Question will the motherboard WiFi show up without the antennas plugged in
Yes, the Wifi will show up without the antennas. Your wifi or Bluetooth signal will be weak without them.
I have a Asrock b560M-C and I dont have the wifi antennas and my wifi dosent work do I need antennas or is my wifi motehrboard glitched because I heard you dont need antennas but my wifi dosent work help.Btw I have no wifi bars.
Yes, the WiFi and Bluetooth will function without the antenna's BUT it will function poorly. It is always recommended to install the antenna's. If you don't have them you can always purchase new ones on Amazon which are around $20 USD.
GOOAAAATTTTTT
Happy to hear this helped out!
hello can you help me I have wifi driver already but it keeps random disconnecting, i tried this method that u teach but I dont have any contents inside that pack folder.
Do you have your wifi antennas on or off?
@@empowergamingcomputers Hello thank you for fast reply, i have my antennaes on my motherboard. I just got fixed my options on my network adapter was "disconnects wifi to save power "lol I got it unchecked it now.
@@bryanesquillo4619 Ah yes, sometimes Windows will cause these issues with these default settings.

Thanks indeed it is the same with the Rev 1.5 version

@@antriksh1104 do you have the wifi antennas screwed in?
@@empowergamingcomputers Yes sir
Maybe try uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling the drivers
Followed the steps exactly and still windows encountered a problem installing the driver.
“This device cannot start. (Code 10)”
Any other options?
If you would like I can jump on a call 248-617-1050 ask for Ben
were you able to solve it?
Did you ever fix it? Because I’m having the exact same issue
this did work but my internet speeds are really slow, any idea why? my pc gets 600 to 800 mbps and my wifes (with this motherbaord) only gets 130 to 150 mbps.
are you using the antenna's?
yes, ended up just wiring it in. Couldnt figure it out. thanks for the reply though!@@empowergamingcomputers
windows cant detect hardware for wifi but detects bt. second new motherboard same issue i did all the steps you advised but can not find the network controller at all. how can i fix it
Which CPU and revision of the board are you running?
hi, thanks for reply. its the gigabyte b450 M DS3H WIFI rev 1.5 with ryzen 9 3950x, i returned it 3 times , then i replaced the wifi hardware with a rev 1.4 motherboard wifi hardware and it works perfectly but i still need to find out why the new one isn't detected as hardware @@empowergamingcomputers
@@elevate1383 detected as hardware, I assume this means it's not being listed in the Device Manager? There might be physical issues with the board if it's for sure the wifi version of the board and no wifi hardware is showing up in the Device Manager.
yes it is not listed in device manager list. when i replaced the wifi adapter with a similar one from a 1.4 rev board it worked on the new motherboard so it is a wifi hardware issue. the strange thing is i exchanged the new motherboard 3 times from the seller and all the new rev 1.5 boards had the same issue so far.@@empowergamingcomputers reinstalled windows, new drivers, latest bios still cant be detected or seen listed in device manager
What if I bought the b550? Is it still the same steps?
Technically it can be but you would need to go to the B550 Support page on Gigabyte not the B450 page shown and linked. The B550 also has a revision version so keep that in mind when searching on their website.
@@empowergamingcomputers I’ve downloaded the newer drivers but don’t seem to work, should I download the older versions and try them?
@@rohidkhenglawt What is your exact motherboard model and revision?
@@empowergamingcomputers B550 DS3H AC motherboard
@@rohidkhenglawt The B550 DS3H AC comes in several revisions, its important to make sure you select the correct revision for your board. The box will list the revision number. If you do not have the box the bottom left corner of the board near the HD Audio header will generally list the board revision number such as REV. 1.5
The Gigabyte B550 DS3H AC comes in the following revisions: 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 and then 1.4 and 1.7
when i connect to 5g band my internet stops working,bt its on when connected to 2g ..can u help
Try restarting the router, unplug the power cord and let it sit for 30 seconds, plug the power cord back in. (The Router, not the PC)
So I tried this and no pack file gets made it says it’s extracting and creates a file with just the downloaded file but that’s all it does. I had a usb device error so I swapped out to an wifi 6e ax210 and that error went away but still doesn’t work I have a rev 1.0 board
If you need some help with this feel free to reach out. support@empowergamingpcs.com
same... did u fine a solution yet, please?
@@fabrexous1511yes my issue I had was that the antenna that attaches to the circular contact on the wifi chip was damaged. Bought a new antenna and it works no issue. So make sure that it’s connected correctly or their isn’t any damage
Does not work for me 😕 Just keeps saying "device cannot start. (Code 10)" Very frustrating 😅
Is this a brand new board?
@@empowergamingcomputers Yup! Brand new
@@eyelesscrown7346it's possible you have a faulty wireless card on the board
How do you get to the Gigabyte support screen without WiFi?
You will either need a wired ethernet connection or you'll need to download it from another computer.
In the device manager my pc is not showing the other device setting
You might not have the wifi version of the board or it might be a faulty component
i manage to get the pack folder but when i go to device manager i dont see other devices
Is this a brand new board?
no i had this mother since like the beginning of 2022 and havent tried to resolve the issue till now and just been using a wifi adapter@@empowergamingcomputers
i also have the version 2 of b450m if that changes anything
@@sharpnicolas5024 The model is "Gigabyte B450M DS3H WiFi" correct?
GIGABYTE B450M DS3H V2 @@empowergamingcomputers
i dont have network controller to do this in the device manager, now what?
You would need another computer to download to a thumb drive or plug the device into an ethernet connection if you have a wired option available.
Does this support windows 11?
We have only found the issue to occur on Windows 10 but yes it can be the same solution for Windows 11
The WiFi works but it’s like really bad is it because of my WiFi because when I used the laptop it works fine
It might be the distance from the Router providing the WiFi maybe you do not have the antenna's plugged into the back of the motherboard.
GIGABYTE B550M DS3H AC does the same thing ... thanks
That is good to know. I have not had as much time with their B550M DS3H AC boards.
What if i came to this tutorial specificly bc i dont have internet and cant acces the web?
you will need to download the driver files from another PC and transfer with a USB drive or connect the PC with a wired ethernet connection.
Yeah i figured it out a about 30 minutes earlier, thanks anyway really aprecciate the tutorial@@empowergamingcomputers
Hi sir how to extracted driver
Can you please provide the driver file link of yours ?
I added the link to the description. Here is the link: www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450M-DS3H-WIFI-rev-14/support#support-dl-driver-wlanbt
When i install the driver it doesn’t get put into my program files
Extract from the zipped file and use that folder structure just like in the video to assign the driver to the device.
