Wifi gone (predator triton 500) Wifi card is installed but not possible to activate

ArpieArp

Wifi card is installed but not possible to activate - it says "not available". Anyone know whats going on? This is the second time this happens. Last time it started to work after couple of weeks but have no clue why. OS win11.

Have tried following without success:

• Uninstall & reinstall

• Deactivate and activate

• Install from cmd

• Network recovery

What Predator Triton 500 exact model laptop do you have, as there are many Triton 500 laptop models and they all have different Wi-Fi/BT cards. Usually if the drivers don't install its because the card is faulty, some of the Intel Wi-Fi/BT cards and especially the AX1650i 6 Wi-Fi/BT card is very problematic and does not work with any new drivers from Intel and only works with the Acer oem drivers provided for the laptop, this is especially Bluetooth drivers, as the Wi-Fi works. Give us more info on your exact Triton laptop it should be something like PT-515-xx model and then we can give you the exact Acer Wi-Fi/BT cards that Acer fitted to your laptop and maybe changing the card to either the same card that you have or the other cards that Acer fitted to your laptop will fix your problem.

Note: I had the same problem with my Wi-Fi/BT card on my Nitro AN515-56 that had a Killer AX1650i, which Intel took over and ruined the quality of these cards, and all I did is change the card to a new Killer AX1650i and it fixes the Bluetooth connection problems that the oem Acer fitted card had.
