Windows 10: I cant connect to routers after uninstalling the network driver. What do i do?

I was trying to fix my connection not working and so i uninstalled my driver as microsoft said it would reinstall automatically upon restarting my computer, but now I can’t connect to the internet at all. Before, it just couldn’t reach websites as it would take too long to respond but now it simply isn’t able to detect routers and networks. The driver seems to have be reinstalled but I still can’t connect to anything. Troubleshooting only tells me to connect to an ethernet cable but I’m trying to use the internet wirelessly. What do i do?

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused
