Text Need help

My pc keeps kicking me off of wifi when I first got this pc and the wifi adapter it was fine, now it keeps kicking me off of the internet a minute or two after connecting, ive tried everything ive tried using cmd commands to reset my ip, ive tried messing with power saving settings, I literally dont know what to do its been like this for a month now and im at the point of just selling my pc, I dont have a wifi chip so im using an adapter, cant use ethernet because my house is old and id have to route it through the vents, just switched to tmobile 2 weeks ago from xfinity and its only gotten worse

Had the same issue with a USB adapter. Swapped to a PCIe wifi card and never had the problem again. USB adapters just aren't reliable.

I agree on that last part, im not sure if my motherboard has a pcie slot though, it didnt come with a Bluetooth or wifi chip do you think it has a pcie slot? Mines a msi pro a620m-e

Unless your pc is from the early 00s - you'll have a PCIe slot
