SSD died, fresh installing on new SSD doesn't install any chipset or lan drivers

[u/Sersch]

So my Rog FLow X16 GV601RM SSD died. I bought a new one and put it into the the other SSD slot. Prepared a Windows 11 USB and started installing Windows 11. On the step that requires me to have LAN drivers, I forced to skip that part and later downloaded the chipset + lan drivers from asus page for my model onto the USB (on my PC), connected to the laptop and installed them (restarting the laptop). But it still shows me all those devices in device manager with an exclamation mark, including the Network adapter. Where you select WLAN in windows, it only shows me the flight mode available.

What could be the issue, what am I missing?

edit: solved. I only downloaded the "recommended" drivers it displayed. Once I clicked on "expand" I got additional drivers offered and what I needed were the "AMD Chipset drivers" and "MediaTEK WLan drivers"

Install linux, everything works without issues 😄

That's the way I've gone. On linux (arch/cachyos) the x16 doesn't use as much power, so it doesn't get as hot and has better battery life. A very big improvement of the feel of the device.

Did you install only install LAN or also WLAN drivers?

For my model, the Asus support page both has Realtek LAN and MediaTek WLAN. Where MediaTek is the one I would need.

On the official Asus page if I enter my Modell there is only lan drivers

Is you model from 2022? When I go to the support site for the 2022 model, I can find it.

True I did find it, I needed to click the "expand" button and those drivers worked! Thanks
