I bought a ROG PC today and had some complications while trying to get windows set up the first time. It ended up requiring a BIOS reset to get the PC to boot again.
After this reset however, during setup, it acted like there was no WI-fi card installed, it didnt bring up any networks and asked me to connect via ethernet, so I lugged the thing downstairs and plugged it into the ethernet and finished setup.
Still, even with a fully set up PC, there are no wifi settings to be found. I am suddenly wifi-less despite the fact that i was able to connect to my network with zero issues the first time I tried setting it up, before it screwed up.
I checked my network devices and it lists a "Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211" 160MHz but says its "Not Present"
Did resetting the BIOS with CMOS somehow **bleep** up my wi-fi card? It looks like the wifi is built into the motherboard, how would I go about fixing it?
