Yes, I quadrupole-checked it. I even removed and reconnected ALL wires.

The label says Foxconn.

It has two settings, Auto (default) and 4 Pin. The description of this option in the UEFI will verify what I've said. Select 4 Pin and Save and Exit the UEFI. |
I've already tried that before creating this topic. :(

Should is the keyword. You would think clicking that should toggle it between on and off, right? But that's not how mine works. Clicking that only changes the text from white to the grey seen in the screen shot.

Yes, the wired LAN works fine. I'm using it to reply here. As stated previously, though, my concern is regarding the WiFi adapter.

Nope, the PCIe power cable is where it belongs - connected to my graphics card. The first four pins of the PSU's dedicated 8-pin ATX 12V power cable are connected to the 4-pin CPU power connector on the motherboard.
