Can't connect to internet

I just built my first gaming PC (https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/BMCk6s) and after installing all the appropriate drivers, I can't connect to any wifi network. Every other PC/device in my house works fine. When I try to connect to my home (or any other) internet, I am asked for the key. Entering the key works, but as it loads, the wifi shuts off (like if there were no connections available) and when it comes back on, it says "Can't connect to this network". I'm wondering if anyone else had a problem like this or knows how to fix it. Thanks!

Does the motherboard have onboard wifi?

i5-8600k, MSI Z370-A Pro, 2x 8GB DDR4-3k, MSI Gaming X 1060, NZXT S340, 2TB HDD, 750w Corsair PSU, AOC 2775 OC'd to 80Hz and CFG73 at 144hz

Device Manager shows everything as good?

Have you tried disabling the adapter and enabling it again?

Can you connect via Ethernet (just to test)?

It says it does in the description.

I have tried enabling, disabling, uninstalling, and reinstalling. Windows has been reinstalled, I've wiped the disk. And I don't have an Ethernet cable long enough to connect to my router.

I know this might seem stupid but the antennas are connected right?

What about in Device Manager? I assume it's good but just want to make sure :)

Antenna is connected. And I tried looking around for it in the device manager. Not sure if it's missing but I cant seem to find it.

Just moved the PC to my modem, and the ethernet seems to not work either.

The Adaptors may be disabled in device manager.

I checked for that but it seems they are all enabled "This device is working properly".

When I connect my PC to the ethernet cable, it seems to get stuck "Identifying".

You should reinstall the driver.

Done that many times. Is there any chance the motherboard arrived broken? (No way to connect to internet)
