Problem with wireless adapter or Access point

Have the same problem, the past two hours I have been reading idiotic tips like Shawn. "oh, your internet doesn't work? Just delete everything then reDOWNLOAD it....were asking for help from people who won't **** up our ****

I am having a similar problem with Windows 10 - does anyone know of a fix for this?

2 years later the problem still exists. I get home with my BRAND new Acer e15 touch and I open it up and I have this issue. I can connect to youtube and it works fine. I can google stuff but when I click on the link it tells me connection times out. So I return it because windows apparently gets a virus from **** google chrome because that's the only thing I downloaded. Tech support told me I got a VIRUS. So nothing was loading even youtube stopped. Which explained the yellow symbol that said limited connectivity. So I replaced it and I got the same model and Whoopty **** doo, after 6 hours nothing connects but youtube and it seems to be heading down the same path, even though it doesn't have the yellow triangle that tells me "limited connectivity". I'm sure if I give it a week it will show up. Of course greedy **** Microsoft wants to charge me my lifes earnings to fix it. They refuse to accept that it's their fault even though I open it and immediately the problem starts. Now I know Microsoft will send a spam bot that says 

"hello" 

Try these links: "how to turn your router off then on". I tried all that ****. I tried running troubleshooting and it tells me that the connection point is wrong or something. It tells me that it fixed it. But of course it didn't. I tried reinstalling my drivers Yada Yada. If I call tech support they will make me boot up in safe mode and they will charge me money to fix it and to tell me I have a virus. Because apparently a virus can follow you to different laptops. It's not my wifi because everything works in the house even my old **** iphone 4 which is faster. I had a mac for years and it never got viruses. Oh did I mention I had an $80 mcafee security program which did the same amount of work as Microsoft trying to help me. On my mac I did work and then I read articles I did everything and never had to fix anything. On my windows laptop I spend more time posting on articles on my iPhone and calling support and running troubleshoot then doing work. **** Microsoft.

I would like some information regarding why I have to reset the WiFi network adapter each time I begin a new session on the Internet.

My Information:

Computer: Toshiba Satellite  Purchased in 2009 originally with Windows Vista, later upgraded to Windows 7, Windows 8, then to Windows 8.1

Memory: 3 GB RAM

Browser: Mozilla Firefox

Could my Network Card be dead?  I have tried to Uninstall the old adapter and adding an updated one, but do not have much luck, I still have to reset the adapter with each new Internet session.

Have you checked Windows Update for any optional driver updates?  They are not installed automatically, so it might be waiting for your approval.

1 - Press Windows-X and choose Control Panel from the shortcut menu.

2 - Go to the System section, then choose Windows Update

3 - Click Check for Updates, and install all it finds.

4 - Reboot and repeat until not more updates are available.
