My internet is working for my laptop but not for my desktop. Both my laptop AND my desktop are using wireless (yes I know I should be using a wire for my desktop, but my modem is too far away). I am using this adapter to get internet for my desktop

Last night, my internet (Comcast) suddenly stopped working. I was instantly disconnected from all my videos and video games I was watching/playing. So I went to my modem and router and unplugged both for ten seconds and then plugged it back in. It started working again, and then the same thing happened again about 10 minutes later and it happened about 3 times total. Then when I woke up in the morning the internet was fine. It is stable and good to use. The only problem is I can't connect with my desktop at all. For my laptop, the Wifi is working perfectly fine, but my desktop will try to connect to my network and then it will say unable to connect. I tried unplugging my adapter and plugging it back in but kept getting the same message.
I hear there is a way to use /cmd or command and it lets you reset something. I am very bad at networking and I have absolutely no idea what is wrong. I would appreciate anybody's help in this issue. Thanks for posting!
