Some years back I had a problem with losing driver for my wireless internet,bought Netgear adapter at Walmart and it allowed me to get online,then I ran free version of Iobot drive booster and it downloaded the missing driver,I also found out according to my provider "Optimum" they rebooted my modom from there side,and problem never happened again.Not sure if this is your situation but incase it is.GL....,of course a direct line is way better than wireless if you have that option
