Early today my home's electrity power-cycled for a second, shutting off my computer with it (If it matters, mid video game). When I rebooted it later, it seemed that there was no way to connect to the Wi-Fi with it anymore. As far as I am able to tell my motherboard's built in Wi-Fi adapter is no longer being recognized as connected, and despite trying a number of things I have not been able to make any headway in fixing it.
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming (Wi-Fi)
Router: NBS AT&T BGW-320 500 (I believe, I'm not 100% certain on that).
Operating System: Windows 10
ISP: AT&T Fiber
Number of Devices: 10+
Main Error Message: Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
(Via Device Manager).
As well, the lights for the Motherboard have been off ever since. The only lights that still light up are the POST lights.
As for a list of everything that I have already tried:
At this point I have little idea myself what steps to take next for either fixing it or acquiring more information, nor have I been able to find any reliable next steps online.

As for a list of everything that I have already tried:
- Restarting a lot lol
- Restarting the router
- Updating Windows and restarting.
- Running the Windows Troubleshooter for Internet Connections, Bluetooth, and Network Adapters. They say that there is either no hardware available or that I need to plug in Ethernet.
- Checking BIOS to see if they were disabled (However, I'm not absolutely certain this was done correctly).
- Updating drivers automatically through Device Manager for both the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Network Adapters and restarting.
- Removing drivers for Wi-Fi Network Adapter and restarting. (This has had the added side effect of the old Wi-Fi Network Adapter no longer being accessible through Device Manager).
- Updating drivers for the Bluetooth Network Adapter manually through Device Manager and restarting.
- Running the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi drivers manually
- Scanning with SFC
- Running DISM
- Running chkdsk (None of these seemed to indicate any faults).
