ASRock Z370 Killer SLI/AC Networking Failure

I am building a new rig I have the Killer SLI/AC and the i7 8700.

Installed win 10 64 everything booted perfectly fine. Except there was no network connections registering. I booted back into bios and was able to do a flash update via an Ethernet connection. So I know that the motherboard isn't damaged and that the connection is working.

I used my roommates laptop to download the LAN driver, wireless LAN driver, VGA driver and boot to bios tool. When I installed the WLAN driver it said it was successful but there are still no network connection adapters showing up. When I tried to install the LAN driver it said that no Intel(R) ethernet connection (2) i219-v were found on the computer. Again I went back into my bios looked through the networking/connection tools and there it was.

I'm honestly at a loss and have no idea what else to try. Unless anyone has some ideas I'll be trying to call ASRock support soon.
 
Solution

The specifications of your motherboard list a vertical M.2 socket for the WiFi module. WiFi is not built into the Z370 chipset, it's added on by ASRock.

* 1 x Vertical M.2 Socket (Key E) with the bundled WiFi-802.11ac module (on the rear I/O)
(for Z370 Killer SLI/ac only)

There isn't one the only thing that came with the mobo just the SLI adapter. Unless I'm mistaken the wireless is integrated into the board itself already.
