ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DY Wi-Fi Card Replacement

Introducción

This guide is for replacing the Wi-Fi card of the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DY.

The Wi-Fi card provides the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DY with in-built wireless network capabilities. Laptop Wi-Fi cards are generally reliable, but can suffer from performance issues. They are smaller and tougher than many other components, making them more resistant to physical damage. The ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DY uses a Realtek Wi-Fi card.

Wi-Fi card failures due to physical damage are uncommon. The vast majority of Wi-Fi card issues are software-related, which can be troubleshooted here. If the faulty Wi-Fi card does fail or malfunction, it results in a weak or nonexistent wireless connection. Depending on the error, the computer may be able to connect but not transmit or receive data, may not be able to detect wireless networks, or may completely lose wireless connection capabilities.

Recording any saved wireless network information, including network names and passwords, may be useful in case replacing the Wi-Fi card interferes with cached connections.

Make sure to fully shut down the device and unplug any chargers and peripherals before beginning.
