Yep, it's worked like a charm now. Thanks again Spyder, and everyone else. Advice is always appreciated by noobs like me haha.

Thanks! That's a good point, though I only mentioned it since these were a bit trickier to find. The adapter was originally designed by AMD and MediaTek in tandem but neither of those companies had easy-to-find driver pages for it. I'd probably only do it as a last resort in that case. With...

Ok, so the problem is now fixed. After installing the updates for windows, I restarted the PC and still no jazz. It could find the networks perfectly fine, but absolutely refused to connect to them. I eventually stumbled across the most up-to-date drivers on this webpage here...

Thanks again Spyder. The cables are quite stretched trying to reach over the body of the GPU, so only the two 6+2 pins can fit in easily while the 8 pins are potentially getting bent quite a bit. Would it be better to get a PCIe extension cable instead of risking bending the cables too much do...

PCS have only given me two sets of cables but each one seems to be comprised of an 8-pin and an additional 6+2 pin. Am I safe to plug any three of these into the GPU as it is?

Oh, there are other versions of this GPU that don't have 3 connectors (only 2) and they work fine. Getting the cables to bend into all three slots might be difficult but I'll give it a go. Thanks.

Oh, I guess the updated spec didn't go through into the original order. The motherboard is the ASUS TUF with WiFi. I connected the monitor to the motherboard because it wasn't detecting through the GPU which I installed myself. I am wanting to believe that it's because there are no drivers on...

It wouldn't connect to my mobile, same issue as a normal network. Connected it with an ethernet cable and jimmied it into working so the main PC now has an internet connection. Now to install a bunch of stuff and then find out why my GPU isn't being detected... Ah I should add that the signal...

Actually, could I connect my currently working laptop to the new PC via ethernet and share internet that way, do you think?

I don't have an ethernet connection available to me currently as the accommodation is shared and the router is on the bottom floor, whereas I am on the top floor... Is it possible to ship updates over on a USB stick or something like that?

Hi both, I have attached the photos requested. Please let me know if there is anything else, or if you want better images. Thanks.

New build arrived yesterday, setting it up today. I installed the antenna onto the PC as instructed and it seems to partially work since it will detect all the networks around me. However, when trying to join any network at all it waits for about 10 seconds and then tells me that it "can't...

Thanks both, I'll contact them and see if they can help me out. Cheers!

The TUF seems to be on pre-order so I think I'll go with the Prime if it's not going to be too big of an issue. Thanks again Spyder. Hopefully, this is the last time I'll have to come back for advice on this whole thing!

Welp, embarrassed to be back yet again but now PCS is telling me that the Gigabyte X gaming motherboard is no longer in stock either, also with no ETA for restocking. Kind of annoying once again, I hope I'm not going to have to slowly go through each component as they successively run out of...
