  • Since you’ve uninstalled the WiFi driver, try:

    • Reinstall driver

    • Restart computer, modem, and router

    • Double check that there’s not a WiFi switch that’s off. I’ve seen physical switches and Fn buttons for this.

    • Try to connect to WiFi

    • Make a hotspot with your phone and try to connect to that

    If it fails to connect to both WiFi and the hotspot, then it might be a driver, OS, or hardware problem. You could redownload the driver on another computer (or via Ethernet if you can connect that way) and try again. Similar for the OS, but I don’t know Windows so seek specific advice for that. Hardware is easy. A WiFi adapter like this should work

    Edit: Also make sure that your network is working correctly. Do other devices connect to the Wi-Fi? Turn your phone’s data off and connect, then see if it loads anything. Could be the internet’s out or the modem.











  • Not by default, but if you cut life short then you can’t find the things that make it “worth it” in the end. And those things, the ones that make it so freaking worth it, they’re out there. They’re rich and beautiful and sometimes deceivingly simple.

    I’ve been in a “not worth it” place before. The possibility of a “worth it” place was so foreign I don’t remember even thinking about the future. I’m in a “worth it” place now. I know it may not be permanent but I hope that I can at least help others make their lives worth it if not always my own.
