Question Wifi option missing during windows install (Z790 Aorus Elite AX)

[lonb]

Hi all - I've got a brand new build, trying to install windows 11 via USB boot drive on this. During Windows 11 install, it says it needs a network connection, however the Z790 AORUS ELITE AX wifi option is missing, it only shows ethernet. I have the antenna plugged in, I rebooted, but it's still not showing wifi. Any ideas on how to get it to use wifi during windows install? Thank you!

You probably have to add the WIFI drivers to the install media. The simpler thing is to temporarily run an ethernet cable.
