I was trying to fix my internet connectivity issues on my Xbox ROG. First, I attempted to restart the device, but that didn't help. I then reset the network settings, which also didn't work. In my frustration, I uninstalled the WiFi driver, and now it's missing from the device manager, leaving me unable to turn the WiFi back on. How can I reinstall the driver?

Just a heads-up: if nothing seems to work, you can always factory reset your laptop as a last resort. It’s a drastic step, but it will reset everything including the drivers.
The best way to reinstall your WiFi drivers is to connect your device directly to the internet via an Ethernet cable. If you don’t have a Type C to Ethernet adapter, try to see if you can connect your ROG to a computer, but be mindful of any permissions that may pop up when transferring files.
If you know someone with an Xbox ROG, ask them about the name of their wireless device. You might be able to find the right driver on a different PC and then transfer it to your laptop. Alternatively, updating Windows could help, since it might automatically download a generic version of the driver for you.
You can easily get the right driver by going to the Asus support page for your specific laptop model using your phone. Download the WiFi driver package there, then connect your phone to the laptop via USB and transfer the downloaded file. You could also enable USB tethering on your phone to use its internet connection to download the driver directly.
