Either its a damaged card or the signal doesn't reach it. Generally Intel has the best WiFi adapters, though they generally come in only m.2 form factors, but they do make wireless cards that take M.2 wireless adapters. TP Link isnt bad either, but read the reviews first.
The only place you should ever download drivers from are Microsoft (Windows update), the card manufacture, or the chip manufacture. If its outside any of those places, I wouldn't trust it.
"One time, my friend told us in a group chat that he was sick of being bullied and no one respecting him. He had a crush with 3 boys in the past and they all rejected him. So then one day, he came to school with sportshoes and everything. He was treated with respect because he conformed with his expected "sexuality". He was completely faking because he told us in the group chat that he never felt more happy in his life because people were, "respecting him". One day, we got into a fight and I called him out on it. He went to guidance and complained and I was forced to apologize to a fraud. That is why, I dislike the, "straight" community because some of them fake it because they can't get a boyfriend/girlfriend. They also, apparently, can't take a joke because I got called down to the office more times than I would have liked."
I hope me mocking your post shows you how ridiculous it is to discredit a whole bunch of people based on the actions of one person. (I presume you're still in High School given the described setting, which makes extrapolating the actions of a minor to a whole community ever more ridiculous.)
