Hi, Why doesn’t my Asus memo pad 7 me176c detects any wifi network? Thanks in advance. Update (02/08/2021) Can you point where the WiFi antenna is located please?
Hi, Does the tablet’s WiFi detect your home WiFi network if you use the tablet as close as possible to the router i.e. <15cm? According to this supplier the Asus ME176C_GPS&WIFI_ANTENNA part number is 14007-01750000. Looking at the part number from this supplier shows what it looks like. It seems that the antenna is housed in a plastic module. Hopefully this may help you to locate it, as I cannot see it in any of the images shown in the ifixit Asus MeMO Pad 7 ME176C Repair guides. Perhaps it is under the back cover?? If it is on the back cover then the WiFi chip should be on the motherboard close to where the antenna connects to the motherboard via the spring connectors as you would lose too much signal strength if it is a lot further away. Unfortunately I cannot find an image for the other antenna part number (14007-01750100) shown in the parts list to check what it looks like in case it is a lot different.
