Any idea why this is the case? I had Wifi disabled in the bios before installation and me seeing no entries on the Network Connections made me think that it's just cause I haven't connected it to the internet just yet. However, upon enabling Wifi back on in the Bios, I noticed just today that my Qubes isn't detecting both my Ethernet and Wifi network devices.

I am running Qubes on an Inspiron 15 Gaming 7577 and from the information I could gather, it says it has 555-BDTV : Intel 8265 802.11ac 2x2 WiFi
DRIVER, WIRELESS FIDELITY, 8265, INS7577
HXF93

I don't really know what to do with this so I decided to ask it out in hopes that someone knows a possible lead or solution

Look at the qubes settings window for sys-net and go to the Devices tab.
You should see your Wifi device listed in the left column. Select it and
click on the right arrow to make it available to sys-net.

I was doing research to this problem and yeah that solution of yours did work though on an additional note, it only worked after I did this step then did a full shutdown of the system before starting again. Worked like a charm after :D
