Hey guys!

So, yesterday I got my PC Parts from Newegg (Hooray!) and I got straight into upgrading my prebuilt HP Pavilion 500-164. I bought a GTX 1050, a Power Supply upgrade from a 300W generic PSU to 430W from EVGA, a new case, and a CPU cooler which I never ended up using due to its huge size (Hyper 212 EVO looks way bigger in person-- and taller too!).

 

Anyway, I finished putting all the wires in making sure I didn't miss anything, and put everything in. The PC posted and booted up fine, but one small issue popped up again: my WiFi doesn't detect anymore. I try to find signals but my network shows nothing, and the troubleshooter says I should set some old networks as default. When I opened Device Manager, and looked at the network drivers. For some reason, there were many drivers called "Wan Miniport" or whatever? (I'm assuming the other 2 were just normal Qualcomm Atheros drivers). None of my drivers have a yellow triangle so far, and yet the WiFi still doesn't work! Any help? I use this computer fairly heavily towards networks for school, so I want to fix this ASAP! Thank you in advance for all the help you provide!
