I recently built a pc, and everything turns on, works fine, and goes into bios. I used a usb drive to install windows. Once windows was a boot option, I went through the setup process: country, keyboard layout, etc. When I get to the section where I need to connect to a network however, nothing shows up. I tried ethernet and wireless connections, unplugging and restarting my router and modem, unsuccessful. I did some research and found that I might need to reinstall the wifi drivers for my motherboard. Here are my specs:
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-F WIFI
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700x
- Memory: Gskill DDR5 32 GB 6400 speed ram
- GPU: RTX 3070ti
- Storage: Samsung Nvme 2tb 980 pro
If anybody knows how to install the drivers onto my pc, please let me know. Keep in mind that I currently have no operating system as I am unable to complete the windows setup without a network. Does anybody know how I could use a usb drive or another method to install wifi drivers on my board and how to install them? Thank you.

Sorry if I disappoint you, but driver may be installed into operating system only. You may install Windows without Internet access and then install the driver.
