Well I can send you the Amazon link if that helps,So Wifi adapter plugs into the USB slot? I wonder why it has a dongle if you don't use it.
What make/model is it? I want to see what chip it uses.
it might not be the problem. I might be getting side tracked but I have seen WIFI adapters cause loads of errors in the last few years. I don't know if they were same errors, most of time its driver errors
I am going. I look in here when I wake up.

And you see where the USB plugs into the base thing, well until like a year ago I never noticed that you could just plug it directly plug it into your pc.
