I’m sure someone can, but you should ask a more specific question and hint to it better in your opening sentence.

See the name. Go all the way to the right where there’s a metal with a star, a chat bubble, then a red flag. Click on the chat bubble.

how did you just quote the first guy?

wait nvm haha
the problem is the **** wireless card keeps disconnecting, it connects to the router for a min but then it drops it, i’ve tried it on multiple routers in multiple places and it still does it

emmmmm all i can say is that it is most probably a manufacturing fault then, coz thats nothin to do with software, is it still under warranty?

you dont need to make another one, you can just edit this one, if you look just under the actual post there are some options, report, unsub and edit post. so you can just edit what this one says.
you can also add tags to the post which tell people what its about without reading it.
