After latest windows update the wifi is junk.
Have hard wired to verify drivers on Ethernet controllers, and wifi adapter and it says using the latest.
Had ISP replace modem when it was the laptop.
Still can't get it to the internet.
It says "Secured-no internet" but 2 hard wired, 2 wifi computers, 3 cell phones all are connecting.
Any ideas? or help please.
