Onda Xiaoma 21 Intel 3165 WiFi Not Detected Issue

[Sx C]

If it just stopped working suddenly then it will most probably be a hardware issue and not fixable, your only option is to use the m.2 slot for a wifi card.

UPDATE 4 OCT 2018

This pic provides more detail to the issue, on he Win 10 settings, the Intel 3165 is registered as “Not Present” however in the Win 10 System Information app it registers as “Installed Yes”. Why are these 2 showing conflicting information? Also I’ve already installed the Intel 3165 drivers several times fro the Intel website direct. Also one screen shows that a MAC address has been assigned but the other show that it hasn’t. This is driving me nuts!

I think you are running the wrong driver.  Or you have installed or activated some kind of VPN software that should be disabled and or uninstalled.  Alternatively, there’s a small chance your machine was infected with malware which installed this incorrect driver.

Brad, no, drivers were ok.

After coming back on intermittently, and then disappearing again (like an on-off girlfriend) repeatedly, I decided to reinstall Win 10 deleting the partitions, just to be safe. Sure enough, the 3165 was nowhere to be found, then a couple of days in came in unannounced for about a day, then stopped working again.

Since I had a little more time this time around, I went to play around with the UEFI settings. It seems like the PCIE ports were set to AUTO, and that’s where the issue arises. I suspect on startup the 3165 does not give a proper signal to indicate its presence, so I flipped all PCIEs to ENABLE. Voila, she’s back!

It sounds like your Intel 3165 is facing a driver or hardware detection issue. The conflict between “Not Present” in settings and “Installed Yes” in System Information could indicate a corrupted driver installation or a hardware fault.On a lighter note, if you’re in the mood for some entertainment, check out this https://casinoeurodownload.com/ for a fun experience! You might want to try reinstalling the drivers or checking the device for any hardware issues.
