I recently built my own computer using parts recommended by a more experienced friend. Everything is up and running, but I can't seem to get my WiFi adapter, which came with my ASUS PRIME B650-PLUS WIFI motherboard, to be recognized. I have the WiFi antenna connected, but it doesn't show up in Device Manager. I've tried various troubleshooting steps but nothing has worked. Has anyone else faced this issue? What steps can I take to fix it or any tips you could share would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! First off, have you installed the WiFi drivers from the ASUS website? They’re pretty crucial for getting the adapter to work properly. Here’s the link to the drivers: https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-b650-plus-wifi/helpdesk_download?model2Name=PRIME-B650-PLUS-WIFI.
If the adapter doesn’t show up in Device Manager, you might have disabled it in the BIOS settings. You can access BIOS during startup – usually by pressing the Delete key or F2. Just double-check your settings there!
Drivers are definitely need! Make sure to grab everything from the wireless section on the ASUS page. That should help get your WiFi running.
