Intel wireless Wifi AC-9560 not working on my Asus Z390-P motherboard with Intel I7 8700. The signal is very, very weak and it fluctuates. It does not even pick up the 2.4ghz signal. Updated bios, downloaded driver from Intel to no avail. Any help?

This is a new build. The adapter was bought and installed by me.

Hello JMunf,

 

Performing wireless integrations is subject to country-specific legal regulations. Before installing or changing the Intel® Wireless Adapter, Intel recommends that you contact the system manufacturer to obtain approval, step-by-step instructions, or support. It is worth mentioning that the integration may or may not work due to the following reasons:

 

1. Hardware/software compatibility issues or dependencies.

2. Manufacturer limitations.

3. Driver limitations.

 

Support article: Regulatory Information Regarding Wireless Hardware Installation or Upgrade

 

In this scenario, what we can recommend is that you try these steps:

 

Clean Installation of Wireless Drivers: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

 

Step 1: Get the latest system-specific driver from your computer manufacturer support.

 

 

Step 2: Uninstall your Wi-Fi driver.

 

Windows* may have an inbox Wi-Fi driver for your wireless adapter. You can't uninstall an inbox driver (you won't see the "Delete the driver software for this device" option). Proceed to the next step if you start seeing the same version of the driver installed automatically after it’s uninstalled.

 

  1. Go to Device Manager.
  2. Expand the Network Adapters category.
  3. Right-click your Intel Wireless Adapter/Bluetooth and choose to uninstall it.
  4. Make sure to select the option to Delete the driver software for this device.
  5. Restart your computer.

 

Step 3: Driver installation.

Locate the driver you downloaded back in Step 1. Run as administrator, and follow the wizard to completion.

 

Also, try using the Recommended Settings for 802.11ac Connectivity.

 

Please let us know if the issue persists.

Ok, since no one else has, I will ask the dumb questions: Did you remember to hook up antennas? Are the antennas outside of the chassis?
