Install new drivers.

Ok... So I'd have to find the drivers on a different device first?

Yeah download them to a USB stick or to your phone and then put them on your pc.

Have you tried directly connecting to the router/modem?

That would involve moving the tower more than I'd like to but if I have to I will.

Have moved tower til stuff's updated at least.
It's built into the tower. Here's hoping once that's done and I bring it back down it just works. --- Lolo ... Copied to Clipboard!

I have a 100ft Ethernet cable to try directly connecting for such situations. It's a worthwhile investment.

Yeah, I'm just thinking the computer's wifi adapter is not decent, as the network still does not show in the computer's location downstairs.

Ok, apparently we had a wireless dongle adapter thing from an earlier computer so it is online now, at least.
The thing that's not picking up connections well at all is the built in Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3168. --- Lolo ... Copied to Clipboard!

So let's talk internet browser for a moment. I normally use Firefox with some add-ons (uBlock origin and noscript are the main ones I think).
Should I keep using the same or has one of the other browsers shot forward greatly? --- Lolo ... Copied to Clipboard!

Firefox and Chrome are both memory hogs, I use a combination of both.
Firefox handles having a billion tabs open better while Chrome handles certain individualized pages and tasks better. --- "First thing that crosses my mind: I didn't get any GameFAQs Karma yesterday." Math Murderer after getting his appendix removed. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Gave it another shot a year or so ago, and I can confidently say they've resolved it, or they're both close enough that it feels more like personal preference --- You did indeed stab me in the back.

I had the same issue when I got my current pc. The wireless adapter was just trash. If you can make it look ok in your living space, a 100 ft ethernet cord can be a solution.
