Missing wireless adapter driver
Hi all! I'm new to this website and in need of some serious help. My wifi adapter, all of a sudden, stopped working. My brother was messing with the computer and assumed he installed the wrong driver but we found it to be correct so i've been using an ethernet this whole time. I looked under network adapters today and couldn't find the adapter anymore. I did notice, however, under other there was "network controller" I figured that was it and tried installing the drivers manually (after downloading from tp link website) but then I get cyclic redundancy check errors. I tried running chkdsk and when I did, it would close quickly but I did notice it said "error detected in index $i30 for file 59713" What do I do? I'm actually pretty terrible with computers...
By the way;
i'm on windows 7 professional 64 bit
the wireless adapter I have is tl-wdn4800 by tplink.
