Question Wifi option missing during windows 11 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!

Drivers are missing. Update the ISO you're using for, hit skip or plug in a cable.

You could also remake your windows install USB using Rufus and the iso from Microsoft, it will give you the option to change it so windows doesn't require an internet connection to finish install so you can get to a desktop and then install the wifi drivers

There is a command line item you can open to skip the network request during install. I did this during some recent installs on B550 and B660 platforms.
