It seems to be working now. It was a simple fix of changing the power option to "maximum performance" and restarting my computer. I will see if this takes care of the problem. Thank you for your help.

You connect over ethernet by connecting an ethernet cable between the PC and the router.
Use one of the ways in this link to open the windows device manager: http://www.isunshare.com/windows-10/7-ways-to-access-device-manager-in-windows-10.html Once that is running, look at the network adapter section. The wifi adapter will be in there.
