Windows 10: Network Adapter Inconsistency Issues

Dear Community


So, recently, despite all other devices being functional, and able to connect to connect to my router perfectly fine, my computer (old win10) rarely ever gets more than a single bar, and often disconnects entirely, saying it's unable to detect any networks, or, if it does, it decides to be [EXPLETIVE EXPUNGED] stupid, and for unknown reasons is unable to connect, saying there's "no access".

I've run multiple different troubleshooters, and they all consistently point to the network adapter. Resetting it, doing the old ON/OFF stuff doesn't function, and the network drags it's feet often, lagging fairly often. Once in a blue moon, I'll get a perfect connection with no lag whatsoever, and I've been unable to contact Microsoft Support at the moment.

Any suggestions/ideas?


Yours truly,
