Need help with my Realtek RTL8187B Wireless Network Adapter

Thanks Maxie...I'd been sitting up there all day and I'm not supposed to but when I need to be on laptop and near my PC and router I have no choice. It's all good.

I've been on the Toshiba site all morning and up til now reading and trying to figure out what driver I actually need...I've downloaded 2 I thought I needed from what I was reading...installed them and still nothing. I think I've gotten to the point that with uninstalling all these Sri drivers and trying to install new ones and it's still messed up...it might just be time to say screw it and wipe it clean and start from fresh. Your thoughts?

Hi there ... What do you need the Drivers for ? ... I know your WiFi Extender is not working ... But what other problems do you have ? ...

Well it was loading really slow. It took about 1 min for me to just open my browser alone and other pages it's been lagging or freezing a lot. Times I'd lose connection all together. I'm worried as I said I had things in quarantine and now their gone. I didn't have that remote thing turned off that you asked me to check so I'm worried about that with that call. Altogether it's just sluggish and very slow now.

Fair enough so would you like to do a Clean Install ... That is the certain way to make sure your System is clean ..

That's like making it an almost new laptop right?

I need to go pick up my grandson I'll be back in a 1/2 hr...then I'm all yours:)

Sure no problem :)

Sorry...I had to sit in my truck for a wee bit...it was raining cats & dogs and I walk slow enough I would have gotten drenched...lol

It is fine .. So you want to proceed with a Clean Install ? ... Do you have the Windows Disc and Product COA Key ? ...

Hmmm...I'm not sure if I have the disc...I would think so but I'd have to look for it...I know when I bought it (I actually bought it for hubby but took it over when I became disabled lol) I had the stores tech people do the install of whatever but I would think they'd given me the disc that went with it right? Where would I find the Product COA Key? I'm gonna try to look for the disc...
