I'm in a bit of a jam here. I can't find any wifi or ethernet options on my device, and I'm pretty sure I'm missing some drivers. However, I'm stuck without internet access to download them. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can get the drivers I need without being online?

Check your device manager to see if there are missing drivers. Sometimes you can find basic versions that are already available, and you may not need internet to install those. It's worth a shot!
If you're up for it, head to the public library to use their internet. You can download what you need and transfer it back to your computer. That should work just fine!
You could try using another computer to download the drivers. If you have a friend or family member nearby, maybe they can help you out. You can also connect your phone to a computer via USB and use your phone's data to download the files you need. Just make sure your phone can serve as a hotspot!
Yeah, using a friend's laptop is a great idea if you're really stuck. They usually have a USB port, and you can copy over the drivers once you've downloaded them.
