The subject of today is my desktop computer. There’s actually two issues with it, but only one is networking related. So, the networking issue is I can’t connect to WiFi, which is obvious. I have a TRENDnet USB adapter (model number TEW-805UB), that is connected to the computer by an Ivetto USB hub, (The 7 port one). Strangely enough, it sees the TrendNet USB when I go to “Driver Manager”, but when I go to the Network logo in the bottom right, I don’t even got the option to turn WiFi on or off. It only says “Wired cable unplugged”. Also, in Driver Manager, it says;
