790 does not have built in wireless adapter, you need to get a discrete wireless adapter, either USB stick or PCIex1 card. The intel 82579LM gigabit network connection is for Ethernet LAN wired internet connection.
If your router/wifi device isn't too far away, the cheap usb dongles work very well. Most of them use a realtech chip, and win 10 automatically installs drivers. I got one from china for 99 cents, but took a while to get here. You can also get them from us vendors for a few dollars.
