PCE-AC68 Network Card Help

I just purchased the ASUS PCE-AC68 Network card and it's not showing up at all in windows. I was hoping to get some help on this as I spoke to ASUS on their online chat and they said I have to wait for the windows 10 drivers to come out in a "few weeks", also known as no ETA right now.

I just went to windows 10 and am enjoying it quite a bit but I need this card to work as I just spent 100 on this. I also just bought ASUS's newer RT-AC87U. I have always avoided wireless for gaming and my PC but I just moved and bought a new house and I don't have my house wired for cat6 like I did my old house so I was trying to get a good wireless setup in.

Anyway here are some things that I have found could cause issues but I am not having luck:

1. Windows 10. Obviously this is a problem if drivers don't support it but I found some stuff on amazon saying windows 10 supports it natively. Well if it isn't showing up in device manager it's not going to install crap...so not sure why that is happening.

2. SLI. I have 2 GTX980's and I have been seeing items arise that somehow SLI affects the PCIE speeds and screws this up. I have been trying to play with PCIE settings in my bios but haven't found anything that really helps.

3. My mobo maybe? Hero VII (ASUS again). I have tried several slots and nothing seems to work.

The blue transmit LED is on constantly on the back of the card so I know it's getting power, but just no idea why it's not showing up at all.

ASUS said go back to win 8.1 to fix this. Well I wouldn't mind doing that, but...it's several hours of monkey business to do that and install everything and I am not convinced there isn't another issue here. I would think that it would show up as "other device" in device manager until I install working drivers, but nothing is there.

Any help is appreciated.
 
Hey murlo,

So I'm in the exact same situation as you, using the same gear (although I only have a single 980Ti).

I've rolled back to 8.1 and it didn't make any difference, solid blue light on the card regardless of power state and booted into OS or not.

I've run the card in another z87 based system and it works fine. Moved it back to the Hero VII, it worked once, then as soon as I shutdown it did its solid blue light and disappeared from device manager never to be seen again.

What did you find? Get anywhere?
 
I got it working, was a DOA board.

I had to wait for win 10 updated driver but it was the board that was dead.
