Asus AX3000 not working in PCIe x16 slot on Gygabite B550M DS3H

lk flag

After this post I had to change my motherboard because sound wasn't working. Now with the new one I can't get the WiFi and Bluetooth to work so I'm asking for help again.

  • Distro : Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (No dual boot)
  • Kernel : 5.19.0-43-generic
  • Motherboard : Gigabyte B550M DS3H PULSE
  • CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 5600
  • GPU : AMD Sapphire Radeon RX 6600
  • WiFi and Bluetooth : ASUS AX3000 (Intel AX200NGW chip)

The WiFi card is set in a PCIe x16 slot because the GPU blocks the only PCIe x1 slot. I could return the motherboard and order one with WiFi built in but I'd prefer to make if work with what I have.

Here's some info :

Networks appear when nmcli device wifi list and same goes for bluetooth devices, which are visible in the parameters.

Everything looks perfect so far. What about the wifi is not working? When you click the Network Manager icon at the top right, do you see networks? Do networks appear here? `nmcli device wifi list`

Hi! Thanks for coming back. Yes networks appear. Bluetooth devices as well. The problem is can't connect to them. In the parameters the little wheel keeps spinning and nothing happens when I try to connect to them.

Can you connect after `sudo iwconfig wlp4s0 power off && sudo iwconfig wlp4s0 txpower 15`

Okay I found the solution. Wifi card is Pcie 2.0. Setting it accordingly in BIOS solved the issue. Thank to you both for your insights!

The Pci-e port is 3.0 and the wifi card is 2.0. Setting it accordingly in BIOS solved the issue.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
