I have a netgear AX1800 3.0 USB network adapter that ran well about a year ago but since then i have not been able to connect to the internet on my personal computer. i can’t run ethernet and i’ve tried to connect it to my phone through usb but that also didn’t show up as a network. I run windows 11 and it’s not a new or super old computer, it’s custom built and it was made in 2020. whenever i plug my network adapter in and go to device manager it’ll just show up as “wireless_device”. is there anything i can do to connect to the internet?
