#LAST week i uninstalled and reinstalled drivers; let hp examine my device through their site and find me missing drivers

[absentlyabbie]

going to bed before i burst into actual tears of helpless frustration because for the third time in as many weeks, my computer has decided that despite paying for 500mbps internet, i'm only allowed an oscillation between 2.4-40mbps for absolutely no valid reason, and whatever i did to somehow make it work again last time absolutely will not work this time

#first time i got told by several folks i must be in a wifi deadspot #nevermind that for the two days prior it had been entirely fine in that spot #so i moved the computer and rearranged every single item of furniture in my bedroom #and it worked! #LAST week i uninstalled and reinstalled drivers; let hp examine my device through their site and find me missing drivers #shut down and restarted so many fucking times #changed network bands #disconnected from the network and made my computer forget it and then connected fresh #did all the refresh signal and restart gateway bullshit #and at the end of all that the drivers thing seemed to work! #NOW? THIS WEEK? TONIGHT???? #literally fucking nothing is fixing it and every diagnostic tool under the sun swears everything is completely fine and working normally #i am going to dissolve into exhausted tears #apparently what i won't be doing is ANYTHING online on my personal computer for... however long this goes on this time #(and btw literally every other device in the house has zero such issue #work laptop three feet behind me? fine. personal laptop? fine. switch? fine. kandi's pc/xbox? fine. #my phone while sitting directly in front of my computer twelve inches from it while it gets 14mbps? #ALSO COMPLETELY FUCKING FINE. i am beyond at a loss and i'm so goddamned tired) #(this computer is less than 2 years old and i paid over $800 for it WHY IS THIS HAPPENING 😭)
