The wires are downstairs (the router ) , its wired the BT operator said it would get the best connection speeds that way , I wish it had been wireless I don't know if that's possible now . Getting it wireless I mean . The wireless adaptor in my usb port is a tp-link AC600 .

Well I'd start by verifying you have the most current drivers for your network card.

Go to the support page for your computer manufacturer and enter your model. There should be a driver section and a network section under that with the most recent driver.

Then you'll need to look in Device Manager and go to the device manufacturer website for the driver
