The next step would be to right click on this driver and uninstall it. Then restart the computer. Windows will reinstall the driver. Then check to see if you can change it.
If this does not work, contact the maker of your computer as they maintain the drivers for your computer. Then download the most current driver.

On your computer what type of adapter does it have? What wi-fi standard does it have?
