I read that the P8Z77-V PRO comes with WiFi capability, and I was wondering if you had to manually install the WiFi chip or if it came with the motherboard.

Also, when I try to install drivers through AI Suite II, nothing shows up in the install menu.

The wifi is onboard. It's between your hdmi and 2xusb 2 ports at the top of the io panel. As far as AI suite II, that's really needless. You can install all the drivers manually from the disk, but you're even better off if you download the most current drivers from asus' website.


Note the item marked ASUS Wi-Fi GO! Card

I've been trying to download the driver, but I'm at a loss as to which to download. I've tried the Wi-Fi Engine, Wireless Network Driver, and the Wi-Fi GO! from here, but when I try to run the setup (AsusSetup,exe) from any of the 3, I get a window saying "Thank you for using ASUS AI Suite II..etc etc", and clicking next will give me the window in the image posted above.

I have P8Z77-V PRO. I did BIOS flashback fist. If you did not do it- it is somewhat confusing. What happened to your drivers DVD? Just download them and install them. I do not remember seeing the software screen as you showing in he image.

That is where I was confused with the initial posting. The image is that of the AI Suite II., not the Drivers section of the DVD.
Here are the headings of the DVD Disk
Components of ASUS CD
Menu Buttons Drivers Utilities Make Disk Manuals Contact Info
The Ai Suite II is located in the Utilities section, ASUS AI Suite II (All Inclusive Suite.)

To install the Drivers, you have to use the Drivers tab, where the 16 or so drivers (latest when the DVD was pressed) are located. Possibly auto run is not enable on this computer so that section didn't auto start to install the drivers.
The way I interpreted the AI Suite image as shown, was that there is nothing listed in the AI Suite because none of the initial drivers were installed, leaving the AI Suite II blank.

The WiFi chip can be considered 'onboard' but, technically, it's a separate piece that came with the motherboard that you plug in and secure with a screw. You did that, right? (BTW - the antenna connects to it, so if the antenna is plugged in then you've done it).
