If for some reason Windows can’t find any new driver for your specific adapter, simply google your adapter model and check the manufacturer’s website for the latest driver.

Since we are discussing wireless adapter drivers, this process can be tricky because that possible means that you can’t access the internet on your computer.

To overcome this problem try to plug an ethernet cable or, alternatively, download the drivers on another computer and copy them to a USB flash drive to manually install on the first PC.

#5 – Let Windows troubleshooter handle it

Windows has a tool that can automatically diagnose and repair some minor issues that can occur. Although most of the time it is not very effective, it is still worth trying. Right-click on the network icon in the taskbar, select the “network troubleshooter” option and see if that fixes your problem.

#6 – Fixing a slow Wi-Fi connection

If you notice that your internet is slower than usual, the first thing you should do is verify your internet speed.

Simply go to the speedtest.net website (or a similar one) and click on the big “start” button right on the homepage.

The website will ask permission to collect some private data (such as your ISP and IP, for example) and after a few seconds it will show your ping, download speed, and upload speed. This is the fastest way to identify if there is in fact something wrong with your internet connection.

There are two common issues that can slow down your internet connection speed. The most obvious is being too far away from the router.

Most people have their router in a corner of the living room, which means that, depending on the layout of the house and the number of obstacles, there might not be enough range for a good and reliable connection in the room.

One possible solution is to buy a Wi-Fi signal extender and place it in a strategic location to guarantee that every room in the house has an optimal wireless signal.

The other common cause is having multiple devices connected to the same router. This can put a lot of stress on it and cause a general decrease in internet speed, especially if that router is the default one provided by your ISP when they installed the internet service.
