8. Troubleshooting

8.1. No Wi-Fi Connection

• Check physical installation: Ensure the adapter is securely seated in the PCI-E slot and antennas are properly attached.
• Driver installation: Verify that the correct drivers are installed. For Windows, check Device Manager. For Mac OS, ensure it's recognized.
• Router settings: Confirm your Wi-Fi router is broadcasting and within range. Try restarting your router.
• Antenna orientation: Adjust the angle of the antennas to improve signal reception.

8.2. No Bluetooth Functionality

• USB cable connection: The most common issue is an improperly connected internal USB cable. Ensure it's firmly connected to both the adapter and an active USB header on your motherboard.
• Bluetooth drivers: Verify Bluetooth drivers are installed and enabled in your operating system's settings.
• Device pairing: Ensure your Bluetooth device is in pairing mode and within range.

8.3. Slow Wi-Fi Speeds

• Antenna position: Experiment with different antenna orientations.
• Interference: Other electronic devices (microwaves, cordless phones) can cause interference. Try moving your computer or router.
• Router band: Ensure you are connected to the 5GHz band for higher speeds if your router supports it and you are within close range. The 2.4GHz band offers better range but lower speeds.
• Driver update: Ensure you have the latest drivers installed.

9. User Tips

• For optimal performance, especially with the 5GHz band, try to keep your computer relatively close to your Wi-Fi router.
• If you experience intermittent connectivity, check for firmware updates for your router as well as driver updates for the FV-T919 adapter.
