I just received my new PC, and I'm having a tough time connecting it to my WiFi. After entering my password, the whole system crashes and gives me a black screen before restarting. I discovered this small disc that says it's a PCI-E Wireless-N Adapter with the model number SM300NM2T2R. I'm using Windows 11 Pro, and I've tried following some YouTube tutorials about drivers, but I'm still confused. Do I need to install this adapter physically, and could you explain what it actually does? Sorry if I'm asking dumb questions—I'm really new to all this and could use some help!

If you're looking for a budget option, you can find some good USB WiFi adapters for under $30 that will work great with Windows 11. They're super easy to install—just plug it in, and you should be good to go! Let me know if you need some recommendations.
It sounds like the wireless adapter you're trying to use is pretty outdated and might not work well with your setup. If it's crashing your PC when connecting to WiFi, that's definitely a sign it's not compatible or too old. You might want to look into getting a more modern USB WiFi adapter or a newer PCIe card that specifically supports your version of Windows. Just make sure it’s compatible with the speed you need!
