WTF is this... and what else should i get

It's crazy to use wireless when the PC's only 3 ft from the router. It sounds like you just need to get the right drivers installed to get the NIC on the motherboard to work. Otherwise, get an Intel NIC:

I'm not usually 3 ft from it or id just try to repair the ethernet and plug it in.

I've managed to get it working again by switching USB port, i know they can be a bit funny.
