    Recently had a windows update. My wifi was going on and off. Tried to update drivers and it said it was fine. The dell website said different (should have started there, but didn't...) I read that I should uninstall something... and then search hardware to re-install something... and yeah. I dun goof'd.


    I had a dell wireless Wlan card and it's gone now. And so is my wifi. How do I recover it?

    edit: or is it network card and not adapter? I dunno..

    Have you tried picking up your router and shaking it violently while cursing?

    Yup. It just stares back and blinks. Like it doesn't know why I'm upset.

    Welp...that is the entirety of my IT knowledge. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

    Also, that blinking is a taunt in robotese. Its basically telling you, "Come at me bro". You should respond accordingly.

    Uinstall the card, boot the computer, then shut it off, install and restart and see if it "finds" the new hardware

    Downloads to "Downloads" folder, or wherever you have set your files to download to. Default folder is "Downloads", obviously. Should be able to find it there, or if you can't, re-download it, and when it finishes, right click the file (as it will be showing the download in the bottom of your browser window, assuming you are using Chrome or Firefox) and and select "open in folder" or something like that, which will open the downloaded to location, and will show your file.

    Prepare your womb for insemination! If I could, I would fist bump you with the rage of 1,000 virgins in the presence of the entire Victoria's secret model lineup.



    *My wifi is back, in case clarification was needed on the above statements.
