No WiFi either. Used Device Manager to add driver, pointed to downloaded directory with the WiFi .inf file, it found it and loaded the drivers. Rebooted and no WiFi. Have an Unknown device warning in Device Manager which is most likely Wifi, pointed to the directory with the WiFi drivers to update and it says no drivers found :(.
are you running windows 10? There are only drivers available for windows 11. Thats what finally fixed mine
 
I had the same Wifi issue with a x870e carbon wifi.
On my side, Wifi chaotically ran during windows installations and fully disappeared after nvidia drivers installation from nvidia website

To solve it, I have reboot and disable the integrated graphics card in Bios.
Next, I have shutdown the computer and unplug supply during 15 minutes as recommended in another post.
Finally, I have plug again the supply and turn on the computer. Fortunately, Wifi was back :)

I hope this will help other people.
 
I have the same issue, no wifi and i cannot install wifi drivers because i have error 103. MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WIFI. I tried with the latest Qualcomm drivers and i have the same message "no suitable drivers". I have windows 10.
 
Not long after I bought this motherboard (several months ago in 2024 not long after product launch), I have encountered this issue right away fresh Windows install and done all sorts of things, all sorts of combinations of fixes, and after a few days I have managed to get it working, but I did not document it. Ever since, there were zero issues with wifi specifically (but did have issues with BIOS boot loop). Yesterday, I have decided to reset the OS because Win 11 was bloated and the system registry seemed compromised, so I decided to go ahead and reinstall it. Oh boy, did I regret my decision within the first hour... Wifi device error CODE 10, not powered up. What's interesting that I have updated everything pretty much, I just restarted my PC to change some settings in BIOS, and after booting up OS, the Wifi crapped itself again. So I went ahead again and begun my journey of despair and anger (I was absolutely infuriated!). On the second day of trial and error, I gave up and took my 10m long Ethernet cable out my cable drawer and hooked up the motherboard 5G port directly to the router.

Here's my theory:

I think the problem is not MSI related hardware or incompetence (of which both are existent, but not the root cause for Wifi issues), but Qualcomm Wifi chip being badly compatible with something (could be chipset, could be AMD CPU, could be Windows, etc.), and the reason is if you search for this specific issue on a browser search engine, you will quickly realize that many other x870/x870e motherboard across other AIBs share the same issue, and I believe it's coming from Qualcomm. Either their hardware or driver or whatever but they just don't work well somehow with X870/X870e boards. You can even see motherboards with revised PCB versions and with a different Wifi chip (I think these manufacturers got rid of the Qualcomm wifi chip for the same reason).

My recommendation:

1. Do NOT buy any motherboards with Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 Wifi device (or any Qualcomm related hardware really), and don't buy MSI motherboards (not because the Wifi, but because the buggy BIOS).
2. Invest into a long Ethernet cable and a router with at least 2.5G port, so you can forget about this nightmare once and for all (you may fix it for now, but mark my words, it will return, and MSI will never fix this).
 
> Do you use the integrated graphics chipset or a graphics card ?

I don't use integrated graphics. I have a discrete MSI RTX 5080 graphics card.
 
I've decided to invest into a TP-Link Archer TBE400UH BE6500 WiFi 7 Dongle. Simple plug in solution. I hope MSI will consider to invest in better wifi 7 hardware and stable BIOS that doesn't boot loop in the future.
 
In Bios go to Integrated Peripherals and Disable Onboard Lan Controller (you have two, 2.5g and 5g, pick one of them), probably no one is using both of them, most probably don't use them at all (if using WIFI), but it will make your WIFI adapter work again while having X3D Gaming Mode on.

X870E Carbon Wifi, Windows 11, Issue happened after adding M2 (slot 3, before worked fine), STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE was the error.
Hope this will help someone to keep both, X3D Gaming Mode and Wifi working at the same time.

I am having the same issue on 2 of my computers, one is a X870E Carbon WIFI and the other is a X870 Tomahawk MAX WIFI.....neither one will load a driver and when I force load it neither one will acknowledge that there is wifi. There has to be a fix for this...it just started today for me out of the blue.
 
my observation after using the mobo for a year.

The wifi will stop working (system just stops seeing the wifi chip completely), when your pc would go to Sleep or Hibernate. It will also stop working when you use Reset button.
Easiest way to fix it, is to just power off psu until the leds on mobo turn off (about 10s)

This will happen on any OS, i'm running Linux, Bazzite for last 7 months, and it rarely ever happens for me now, (because i have auto sleep disabled there is no need for me to restart pc, no microslop, no freezes).
 
I'm running a dual boot now, I will try it and see what happens. I got it to work for a bit with after hitting the clear CMOS button. But now it is back. Have to give this a try.
 
This started to happen to me yesterday. I was running Ubuntu from a USB-C stick, when I rebooted after several hours to windows, Wifi was gone, also in ubuntu was gone.
Happened now twice in 2 days... looks like now I have to live with this issue...
I flashed today to the latest bios to see if helps.
