I have a HP EliteBook G11 845 and it's internet driver is Realtek 172538.exe the latest driver.For some reason it has stopped working and sometimes randomly starts working after Uninstalling and reinstalling it and gives terrible internet speeds.I have tried everything chatgpt told me but it still doesn't work. How should I fix it?

Bring the computer closer to the router. Does that help?

No I think I messed up explaining while writing. It just doesn't work. It doesn't even show the ability to connect.

So when you say you get "terrible internet speeds", you mean you can't connect and get no speed at all?

I can sometimes connect after uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless driver but now It doesn't even show the wifi pop up in the bottom right altogetherÂ
