Windows 10: WiFi & WiFi 2 (neither work)

Hi and thanks in advance for any help, I’ll try to be succinct:

• 
  recently built new PC and had no issues for a while
  
  
• 
  randomly had two wifi connections show up couple of weeks ago which I understand are for 2 wifi adaptors (1 inbuilt to mobo, and one I bought). So there’s WiFi 1 and WiFi 2
  
  
• 
  I can connect to the network (ie the WiFi says ‘Connected’) however nothing loads
  
  
• 
  Tried just using Ethernet and that doesn’t work (even when I disable the default Ethernet connection)
  
  
• 
  Even when disabling the inbuilt wifi the other one won’t work
  
  
• 
  Also the PC keeps turning back to some random inbuilt Ethernet connection when WiFi is on ‘Unidentified network’
  

At this point I’m considering just a full factory restore of the PC but naturally would like to avoid.

Please help!

Wifi names

I was wondering can you put anything as a wifi name for example I wanted to put CIA-outpost-#### random number is that illegal? I've seen FBI surveillance van 006 before on my list of wifi names I can pick up.

 

Suggest Portable small WiFi Storage device with Maximum WiFi range

Hi Guys,

Would you please suggest Portable small WiFi Storage device with Maximum WiFi range ?

The smallest I know is this





Is there anything better than this which has maximum Wifi range? For example can it play movie from 30 meter distance ? From other room ?

Thanks.

 

WIFI Works, Ethernet won't

OK but why?

NOT YELLING, JUST EMPHASIZING

Please note, I installed the new Lynksis, it worked just fine for 3-4 days on both my MACBOOK PRO when in ethernet connect and the Dell, then the ethernet just quit working for both my MacBook Pro and Dell desktop. It did work, then just quit for no apparent reason. WIFi for iPhone, iPad, Andriod Phone, and when I set to wifi for my MacBook pro all work fine.

Detailed history: I first noticed that on my Desktop dell that is CAT5 ethernet connected to the WIFI ROuter, that it stopped, no internet access. I began to trouble shoot, and turned off my WIFI on my MAcbook and it wouldnt work either, plugged into same router but different cat5 cable. At that time, all WIFI devices still worked. I figured that it must be the ethernet side of the WIFI router, so I replaced the router with brand new one. the Lynksys N900 listed in original thread. Ethernet and everything worked just fine for 3-4 days. But then ethernet quit, but wifi still works.

Whatever the problem, it affects both my MacBook Pro and Dell with WIN 7. I'm guessing it is NOT a computer problem, if it is it is affecting both my Mac and Dell, separate cat 5 cables to same wifi router

To remixedcat, I don't know for sure how to check IP settings, see above post, no damage apparent to anything.
