I am trying to install Raspbian with NOOBS. I downloaded the offline w/ network version (not the lite version), unzipped it, and copied and pasted the files into a formatted 32GB microSD card (formatted with the SD Formatter Tool from the SD Association). Then I safely ejected it from my computer and inserted it into my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, connected the USB mouse and USB keyboard, and connected it to a television using an HDMI cable. I connect the power adapter, and it shows me the rainbow screen. Then it takes me to a new screen with the RPi logo, then provides some messages about the RPi formatting the SD card. Finally, it provides a message that it needs WiFi connection for installing other images apart from local images and then says it cannot find any wifiWiFi interfaces. However, it does not show any available operating systems to install, not even Raspbian, which should be available since I used the offline NOOBs version. What is going on?

EDIT: I successfully installed Raspbian thanks to CoderMike's answer. However, I never figured out why NOOBs was not working.
