Windows 10: What's the current network adapter for wireless internet in the ASUS Vivobook X1605ZA?

I've been having this problem where the internet and bluetooth button are gone and can't be accessed even in the settings. Somehow, I managed to bring back the bluetooth button but the problem still persist with the internet button. Through research, I discovered that I am missing a network adapter in the device manager and I'm thinking of downloading it manually since it doesn't seem to install automatically.
