Solving Glenn's Issues – And Giving His Tech a New Lease on Life
Glenn had been battling various WiFi issues for years. Both his laptop and desktop would randomly lose connection, forcing him to constantly re-enter passwords and restart devices. What started as occasional annoyances had become daily frustrations, so he called Simply Computers for help.
The laptop’s issue stemmed from a problematic Windows 11 update that had corrupted the WiFi driver. After downloading and installing a fresh driver from the manufacturer’s website, the connection stabilized immediately. It was a simple fix, but one that had caused Glenn unnecessary headaches for weeks.
The desktop presented a more stubborn challenge. Positioned on the opposite side of a few thick interior walls from the router, it suffered from constant signal interference. For years, Glenn had simply accepted the spotty connection as normal. The solution came in the form of a USB WiFi adapter with a 3-foot extension cord, allowing me to position the receiver around the interference point. The difference was night and day. No more dropped connections, and no more repeated password entries.
While working on the desktop, I noticed its aging hard drive was slowing everything down. Seizing the opportunity for a meaningful upgrade, I replaced the sluggish HDD with a lightning-fast SSD. A thorough virus scan and system cleanup completed the transformation. What started as a WiFi repair turned into a complete performance overhaul, leaving Glenn with technology that worked better than it had in years.
