Well ... it should work fine. Are you sure you've turned the wireless adaptor on? My laptop has a switch on the side ... asus z170-A \|\| core i5-6600K \|\| geforce gtx 970 4gb \|\| 16gb ddr4 ram \|\| win10 \|\| 1080p led samsung 27"

make sure the windows zero configuration-service is running. start/run/services.msc and if its off, set it to automatic and then enable[or start]

ah great! I`ve installed the intel software and I`m still no further when I click [on] it says `your wireless is still switched off, use your hardware switch to turn it on` I can`t see a switch anywhere..
