rt2800pci Kernel Module Missing?

Ok so I booted my pc into CLI as usual and I use Wi-Fi menu to go and connect myself to the internet and get an error that says
"Iinvalid interface specification"

I then go and use ip addr show and I see I have no wireless device and think huuh?

I then go to see if there is a module loaded with lspci -vvv and sure enough there isn't a kernel module loaded. I know the module I need is rt2800pci so I try to load it with modprobe and I get:
Fatal: Module rt2800pci not found in directory /lib/modules/4.11.3-1-ARCH

Anyone know where I can get this kernel module from?

ANY help please. Sorry about formatting am on mobile (:

Compare the version numbers reported by uname -a and by pacman -Q linux

Do they match?
