Your Wife's computer, turn off wifi, turn back on using management properties. Could also be wifi card needs replaced.

I have not tried Ethernet yet.  That would require me digging through my
closet to find a long cable that might reach the other room or I might
have to relocate the computer into my cluttered home office... Was
hoping for some simple solution and if not I will connect via Ethernet.

I'm reading I might have a corrupt driver that will require
Ethernet..... or maybe a thumb drive.  At that point I will want to go
with Ethernet, which I think might make the fix easier.
