Hello vikrantkulkarni1,

Thank you for updating me that information. I'm sorry it didn't resolve the issue. Unfortunately, I'm not authorized to do quick assistant. I can only provide suggested solutions here.

Open Device Manager > View Tab > Show hidden devices
Expand Network Adapters
Check if you can see your Wireless adapter
Please take a screenshot and post on your next reply.

Can you check this link? When I try to search your Wireless driver. This what I saw.
