If you cannot find a setting: * Check **M.I.T** * Check **Advanced CPU Configuration** * Look through **Tweaker** or **Settings** *** ## Disabling Wi-Fi & Bluetooth in BIOS Some setups require disabling onboard wireless hardware. ### Step 1 — Locate Wireless Settings Navigate through BIOS menus to find wireless or onboard device settings. Possible sections include: * **Advanced** * **Onboard Devices Configuration** * **Integrated Peripherals** * **Wireless** *** ### Step 2 — Disable Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Look for options labeled: * Wireless LAN * WiFi * Bluetooth * WiFi Controller * WIFI/BT * WAN Radio Change their status to: ``` Disabled ``` *** ### Step 3 — Save Changes Save your BIOS configuration. Typical key: ``` F10 → Save and Exit ``` or use the **Save & Exit** option from the BIOS menu.
