Lots of Internet problems

My internet periodically disconnects and when troubleshooting it says a network cable or access point is broken it only says this on my computer. Also a few years ago I made the mistake of downloading a VPN, and it didn't cause any problem but I had to set back my computer and after my internet worked really badly. I found a way to find the adapter and delete it and it fixed the problems on one of my internet connections but at another house (the one that says it has a broken cable) I think might have the same problem with an invisible adapter from a VPN still on it somewhere and I don't remember how to find them. What I really just want to do is delete all my adapters and reinstall or let my computer find the ones i need for my internet.

Hi deend, welcome to the forum. You can go to Device Manager and click on View> Show hidden devices and see if anything else appears.

I am assuming you tried a different cable to be sure that is not the problem.

Yes I have tried different cables, And I think deleting everything and letting it reinstall fixed my problem, thanks for the help even though it was pretty simple , It always drives me crazy because I can Never find The Device manager. Nevermind then, That made everything alot worse, can hardly keep my connection more than a few minutes
Update... again: now it says problem with network adapter or access point, Is there any way I can modify the "access point" to solve things? (i have no idea what im talking about and its the third time ive typed this thanks to my internet

Actually got alot alot worse, Its disconnecting a ton over and over

So are you using an AP or router? If yes try plugging directly into your cable modem.

Would help if you you provided more info like NIC card model, router model, computer model, modem model, etc.

I'm using a router (not sure what AP is? assuming it doesnt involve a router though)
I have a lenovo, my router model is a d-link - DIR-601 my modem model is CMM50A The rest I cant/ Dont know what it is (dont speak quite this area of technology lingo) Hope what I could find helps

A lenovo what? A Laptop? What model?

A laptop and I dont know how to find the model
