Hi Cathleen,

we are not game friends but I too recently experienced WiFi troubles. I wrote about it here but not many people entered the thread:

read my last post

I ended up fiddling around with my laptop long enough afterward to discover that my WiFi card had been completely shut down. So shut down that it wasn't even showing up in my laptop's hardware profile until I found a way for it to list my hidden components. I tried several things including trying to update the drivers for the card and uninstalling and reinstalling the card because I have a little tech savvy but nothing worked. So tethered my laptop with my cell phone in order to restore the internet to it (because I could not find an ethernet cord to use to connect my laptop physically to my router), tried a few more times to update the driver with the Microsoft troubleshooter (with no luck) then all of a sudden out of nowhere the issue resolved it's self.

I'm telling you all of this because so many people are having WiFi troubles ATM here on this wiki and hopefully something I told you will help you as well as others because I know Lola has been having troubles too. I'm not going to lie, this many strange WiFi issues happening among a group of people who only have SN and this Wikia in common has me slightly worried but there honestly just could have been a nasty bug or something floating around the net that we all just happened to catch.

Long story made short have someone who knows what they are doing follow this path:

Control Panel/System/Device Manager/

and check your WiFi card's status to see what's going on with it.
