If an update to Windows has 'killed' your WiFi, that's a sign that your WiFi network wasn't setup correctly to begin with.

WiFi networks are setup and subsequently managed in your router, not in Windows. Your router has its own operating system. It doesn't use Windows, so an update to Windows won't affect it. Now I'll show you how to setup your WiFi network the right way.

What you'll need:

1- a WiFi router (obviously!); and

2- a WiFi adapter that's supported on Windows 10 and compatible with your router.

Once you have installed the WiFi adapter - if it wasn't already installed - locate your router's owners manual, where you'll find step-by-step instructions for establishing a WiFi network. And that's all you need to do. Routers have hundreds of scary-looking settings. Don't worry about them. Just follow the owner's manual and you'll be fine.

Here are two tips to smooth your way:

1- If you originally tried to setup your WiFi network in Windows, undo what you did.

2- Before you start to setup your WiFi network in your router, first reset your router. The owner's manual will show you how. This will allow you to use your router's setup wizard, which will make the job even easier.
