I'm worried I'll just get the exact same problems with that.I have recently installed a new WiFi card in my PC but I am unable to connect to the 5 GHz network from my router. Shame that the TP-link card uses the same Broadcom chipset as the Asus card. I'm currently considering a new motherboard or wireless card. So I really need to get the wireless working. Which brings me to my question anybody have any suggestions to what I can try next? I can't run a cable to the room my computer is in now. New bios was released for the hero in the middle of this, so I upgraded to 3103 and still nothing.

Also tried the same 3 slots with the soundcard removed. I haven't tried the PCIEX1_2 port beause that would end up blocking one of the fans on the graphicscard. Tried moving it around again, PCIEX1_1, PCIEX1_3 and PCIEX4. And I've been unable to get it working again since.

And lo and behold, suddenly the wireless card worked. After the install I installed all the usual drivers and programs I use. Since I upgraded from 8.1 to 10 and never bothered to do a fresh install after, I figured it was time. Then I did some googling and saw some people say they had trouble getting it to work if you had a upgraded windows. Soundcard and graphicscard was always working, wireless card was never even detected by windows. I know about the lack of pci express lanes on this motherboard so I tried PCIEX4 both on auto (which should work) and manually setting it to x1. Swapped the soundcard and wireless card (so the soundcard was in PCIEX1_3 and wireless in PCIEX4) still not working. So I moved it to the PCIEX1_3 slot directly above the soundcard. First I just installed it in the PCIEX1_1 slot assuming that would be fine. Things I tried before reinstalling windows: And a Soundblaster ZxR in the PCIEX4 slot. Other relevant hardware: I got a Geforce GX980 Strix graphics card in the PCIEX16_1 slot. The wireless card works in two other computers I have so it's not dead. I got an Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard that refuses to find my Asus PCE-AC68 wireless card.
