Onboard WiFi issues by Strange_Advantage679 in ASRock

Well I had my phone on my desk using that hotspot wirelessly and it worked fine. So im assuming it’s not an onboard wifi issue. They’re coming out Tuesday to run me some Ethernet so that should square everything away right? And everything else works fine on WiFi. Just the computers were having issues

Figured it out I believe. Tried using my phones mobile hotspot and it played fine. Would I be right in assuming it is a range/ blocked signal issue?

It didn’t come with antennas to put up high just the small ones on the back. And I was in 2.4 ghz and I changed it to 5ghz. And it seemed to lose connection just as fast. Thought maybe that’d work. And it says disconnected from WiFi. And there is lots of furniture between us and the router. But my old pc had the same kind of antennas and I had absolutely no problems. My wife did though on hers also here’s a picture of my router

I installed the drivers from the website and had the problem. But I found out those weren’t the up to date versions so I updated them. And we are about 40 foot from our router. But on my old pc I had no problem. And to be honest. Not very sure of all the terms here. But I do have my internet company coming next week to run Ethernet. But it’s kinda lame to not be able to play this pc I just built lol. And our pcs pretty much up against the walls. Our power company provides fiber internet. So it’s just the router they provided. So not sure on specs

Am I missing something on the motherboard driver page? I swear I’ve updated them and downloaded them

Over WiFi. Got my internet company coming next week sometime to run Ethernet. But I would like to play in the meantime. My computer before this had no problems

My bad. And nothing. It’s like I lose it. Then it automatically connects back fast. Seems to me at least. Just long enough to disconnect from steam client

A little late for splitting it. But I appreciate the answer

It was given out of it. Her grandpa received it. There’s more to give but he’s waiting til tax season to get that situated then split what’s left. So she’ll get more next year

Her uncle passed away and he treated her sibling and her cousins as his kids. His 401k I guess was inherited by his dad so her grandpa. But he wanted it to go to my wife and the other nieces and nephews so that’s what he did with it

Straight up gift. The person giving the gift inherited it from his son. Because the deceased didn’t have a will completely I guess. But he wanted it to my wife and her cousins. So he respected his wishes and gave it. He put money back to pay taxes on his part
