Hi All

I have a Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming II mobo and am having some problems with the wifi and Bluetooth as neither are showing up in devices. I have tried the following:

Downloaded and re-installed the latest windows Asus mobo chipset drivers
Checked both are enabled in the BIOS, disabled and re-enabled
Updated to the latest BIOS and re-checked they are enabled

https://rog.asus.com/uk/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-b450-f-gaming-ii-model/​

Is there anything else I can do - running Windows 10 x64 Pro, with latest updates?

I purchased the mobo as a system off the forum, and it all worked when I first got it, not sure what changed, I did have to re-install Windows as the SSD failed, but no other problems.
 
ah well, seems that it doesnt come with wifi or bluetooth - cant believe I didnt notice, I must have just automatically plugged in my usb wireless dongle.....and only realised when I needed bluetooth.

Now to find a compatible m.2 wifi/bluetooth card (and a screw as none came on the board!) - any recommendations?

Seems you can get one that fits the M.2 slot but you then have to get aerials that will fit the little connectors, so price will be expensive anyway.

Fogot there was a similar thread about this issue.

If your USB wifi dongle is working ok you could just get a USB bluetoth dongle (you can get cheaper ones).

I don't think that thread is the same, from what I can see the OP has a Key-E M.2 slot and those are specifically for wireless devices and you can buy a kit that includes the aerials, whereas the thread you linked to, I think they want to use a regular M.2 slot that is intended for storage and put a PCI-E card in it.

Is this what you mean? Intel AX200 Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Dual Band Bluetooth 5.2 Desktop Kit.

Only ever used M.2 NVME drives so not up to speed on the different fit types.

Yep! They fit in the Key-E slot, which is above the second full length slot in the OP's board. I suspect it has to be non-CNVI on AMD, so AX200 would work, but AX211 may not.
