It was giving an unable to connect to network error, after entering password. Ironically enough it's now working, it may have been a problem with my WiFi rather than the laptop. Currently typing this on it now. :LOL:
In terms of drivers and everything, I bought the laptop from here so I'd assume...
This is what comes up when I run the ip config, I've re-input the wifi password and made sure it works on my phone. seems like the adapter may not be working?
