Hello People of the World,
So, I recently finished my PC build (after two RMA's and a little bit of crying), and I got it working well for about a week.
And then the Wi-Fi shut off. Hooray.
I'm currently using the 802.11ac (is it 801.11ac, I don't know) Wi-Fi adapter that came with the motherboard (Rampage IV Black Ed), and it doesn't seem to be able to detect any networks whatsoever.
I have gone into cmd with "ipconfig /all" and it thinks that the "media is disconnected" for the Broadcom 802.11ac Adapter.
The Network and Sharing center acknowledges the adapter's existence, but doesn't seem to give too much to utilize its existence to actually DETECT networks.
I've already rebooted the computer multiple times and have re installed the drivers.
As of right now, there is no success.
Ethernet is working though, and I've hooked it up on my kitchen counter right now to be within cable range of the router, however, I don't want it here for long (lest food, drink, and metallic cook implements get in the way).
Thanks for all of your support.
 
You would think the device would see something. It should see neighbors wireless signals even if your router was messed up.

First I would remove the antennas and check that there is no damage to the antenna or the connectors.

Since you have already replaced the drivers it means you likely know it can detect the wireless device itself. Only other thing I could think of is if the bios has the ability to turn off the radio like a button on a laptop does or the power save stuff shut it down. Both very unlikely.
