If I get ANY suggestions on how to solve this issue, that'd be lovely, I'm a college student and NEED my computer to do my online assignments for my online course and design class to submit assignments.Windows 10 is the latest and greatest version of the Windows Operating System, but it is far, far from perfection. I've tried all the recommended ways of fixing it but nothing so far. I've rolled it back, updated windows, reset my computer, and also made sure it didn't have access to turning off for the battery. I've ran diagnosing, which narrowed it down to this adapter, I've manually reset said adapter, uninstalled and reinstalled the adapter, ran diagnosing time and time again. I have tried EVERYTHING I can, the wifi works with other devices in the home, our chromecast TV's, phones, tablet, and it DID work with my computer but suddenly did this stuff. Note: It seemed to work and connect fine with my school wifi! Just my home wifi is acting up Will disconnect and need to be reconnected constantly, while it will drop out VERY quickly and require manually connection - no guarantee it will work if connected

connects to wifi but acts like the wifi is not working, 'Connected, no internet', when there is internet and other devices connect fine disconnects randomly and will not reconnect to home wifi Recently, however I've had major issues with the following : My PC was connecting fine the internet, no issues at all (granted a bit slow because of our provider) but I didn't have any issues.

To say I'm a little frustrated is a MASSIVE understatement, I've been having issues with my network adapter, the Realtek RTL8821CE.
