    I don't think that the Windows update has got anything to do with the wireless, also given the fact that it seems to be affecting your TV as well.
    There could be hundreds of reasons why your WiFi is not working as before.

    Given that it doesn't seem you have much experience in this, it would be quite difficult to point you in any direction.

    It could be anything from a faulty WiFi router, to an overcrowded channel, to some interference in the way...almost impossible to troubleshoot without more details.

    Wifi is from your hub not ethernet.
    Its probably worth factory reseting the router first .
    What are you using to connect to wifi.

    Your post is a bit confusing.


    Can you clarify - are you having WIFI problems with all your devices (tv etc) or only your computer ?

    Also, if you already had an Ethernet connection on your computer, why did you buy the WiFi dongle?

    I think it will be much easier for you to call someone with some knowledge and have it checked on site.

    << Router has an Admin Password and a WiFi Password .

    the ethernet cable was connected to the hub when wind 10 rebooted with the upgrade and there wasn't any wifi on the main computer.


    >. Ethernet connected to computer then it needs no wifi as its connected via that cable .
