I've got a Gigabyte Eagle X870 Wi-Fi motherboard and I'm trying to connect to Wi-Fi, but it's not showing the option at all. Instead, I only see Bluetooth. The motherboard came with an I/O port adapter that connects at the back, but that hasn't helped either. In Device Manager under Network Adapters, the only thing that appears is the "Realtek PCIe 2.5GbE Family Controller." I downloaded the Realtek LAN driver from Gigabyte's website, but I'm not sure if I've missed something critical. What am I doing wrong?

Just double-checking—are you sure you're not in airplane mode? That sometimes prevents Wi-Fi from showing up.
Have you installed the Wi-Fi drivers yet? You might need to get those in order to enable the wireless functionality.
Make sure to download and install the drivers from Gigabyte. Here’s the link where you can get the Wi-Fi drivers: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X870-EAGLE-WIFI7/support#dl
What about the LAN driver? Is that the same thing? I couldn't find anything clearly labeled as 'Wi-Fi' on their site.
