Aspire 3 - A315-59 Wifi adapter not detected at all

Hello, i could use some help cus i think i tried all i could and found on internet to try.

So, this is a brand new Aspire 3 - A315-59 laptop. Windows 10pro was installed, but during the installation didnt detected the wifi adapter. Installed without internet, with the tought ill install the driver manualy after. Problem is: device manager dosnt even show up the wifi adapter, not even as being hidden.

I updated bios with the latest version, went into command promt and did winsock reset, made sure wifi is started automaticaly from service.. still nothing. i even did a fresh reinstall on windows, and redid all the steps. And im runing out of ideas.

Same problem, I am facing. WIFI is not Working and Windows 11 wont Boot without Internet connectivity. No RJ45 port to connect to LAN port. Cannot Install Linux Ubuntu due to Secure Boot Features/BIOS protection.

Any solutions?

For those having issues with Windows 11 Setup for the first time, due to NO Internet Access OR don't want to create Microsoft Account (want to use Laptop Offline). Boot your Laptop with any Live Bootable Open Source Linux (eg Latest Ubuntu). In my case Ubuntu did detect WIFI adapter. Once you have Working OS with the Internet connection, that will inspire you to move forward, and after that you know what to install and how to install, if you have managed to reach this point. You have to Disable Secure Boot option in BIOS (if you laptop failed to boot from bootable USB). Thanks!

just use your phones wifi as usb connect usb to ypur phone and laptop or coputer that wifi is not working and then enter setting to your phone and search for thtreating or on samsung it will be on wifi and usb or serach usb and look for threading then turn it on then you are able to install windows 11 using your phone connection when you have done with that then enter to settings and update windows 11 then restart it it will download required drivers and wifi will be availble only after that that is only way to for windows users only if you want to use linux never think about that it never works any linux ubuntu kali xubunutu lubuntu or others it never works
