Windows 10: Internet Router missing from Device Manager

Hi all, hoping someone can help?


I am troubleshooting my abysmal WiFi speeds as my PC is fast becoming unusable.


Having spoken to my ISP - I have split the signal on the router. The split has been done successfully visible on my mobile phone network options, however the 5.0GHz network is not showing up on my desktop PC - the trouble shooting steps suggest tweaking the adapter settings.


My issue is that the Router is not listed in Device Manager? Hidden Devices is checked...


This is what is listed...none of these are for my NOWTV router....

network and internet

this hard drive is not connected to my computer, it is connected to my wireless router.

after scanning for hardware changes as you suggested in step one, there is no usb hard drive
listed on my computer, either in the device manager, or in the network list in file manager which includes both computers connected to the router. this computer is recognizing the router, internet, and other computers connected to the router.
it is not recognizing the hard drive connected tot he wireless router.

I checked my wireless router to see if the usb hard drive is discoverable and verified that it is.

 

Cannot see wifi adapter on device manager anymore

Hi,

Missing adapters on device manager can be caused by several reasons. To further isolate your concern, kindly answer the questions below:

• What troubleshooting steps have you done?
• Were there any hardware/software changes made on your desktop prior to this happening?

In the meantime, we suggest that you connect your computer, using an Ethernet cable, directly to your modem/router to download and install the latest drivers from HP's support site.

We look forward for your response.
