Hello, I've had major issues with a similar Atheros Chipset. Windows 7 download. The official drivers somehow borked the wireless card on my old laptop - and I had to find 'unoffical' drivers that actually worked unlike the Atheros drivers. Actually I think I had the exact same chipset. I'm guessing either your wifi card is faulty - or somehow the wireless drivers are actually not working correctly.
Read the following forum in this link: Heres the link to the modified driver: Note 1: I checked both sites and they appear to be fine. Note 2: Since it's an unofficial driver - you might have to tell windows to let it install anyways as it might give you a warning about not being signed. Let us know how it goes! I had this problem with a Lenovo C200 all in one desktop machine. It would find wireless networks, including my own home one, connect but with no Internet access & no network access. There was always an exclamation remark over the wireless connection indicating no Internet access.
I guess the question I have now is what is the most current, correct and working driver for Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter?? And if it is what I already have installed, why am I receiving this notice to update from HPSA?
Plastic texture pack mcpe download. It was very frustrating as I tried everything, router changes, static IP, etc What solved the issue was a driver upgrade on the wireless card in the machine. The wireless card was an Atheros AR9285 with a driver version 8.0.0.xx I got the latest version for use with Win 7 Ultimate 32bit here Download version 10.0.0.45 for use with Win 7 Ultimate 32bit on a different PC & copied to USB flash drive.
Once driver upgraded with new version practically instantly resolved, Internet & network access, bang, straight in. Hope this helps anyone else having this crappy problem. Uninstall the driver through Device manager.
The default driver which it will install if you were to choose 'scan for new hardware' is located by right clicking the Unknown Device - Update Driver - Browse my computer. Go to the location which the device manager is pointing to and delete the folder (unless it is pointing to a system folder). Also delete any folder associated to the driver from within Program Files. Next download the recommended driver directly from the laptop, manufacturer’s website & install it. If you have the latest driver as a.sys file, go into device manager & browse to the location then click next. After all this it might be worth restarting. I've struggled this problem for over a year.
The Atheros AR9285 driver is a maze to figure out. I believe this is a Windows 7 compatibility issue with the 9.2.x version driver, and I've heard reports of some people finding luck in rolling back to 8.0.x versions.
While this option may be available, I realized that there is now a new version: 10.0.0.221. If you go to your Device Manager and find your wireless driver labeled Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter, check the version by viewing properties. You can find the new version I now use here: I proceeded to manually install this driver from the folder I extracted from the.zip file included in the download. Upon installing this new version, I noticed that my Device Manager now displayed Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter. The version indicated in the adapter properties was now the new 10.0.0.221 and I no longer have issues with dropping and unable to connect to wireless networks. I hope by writing this that I can help others with the same problem as me!
If the above solution doesn't work for you, you may want to try my Plan B: Replacing the WLAN card. I believe I've heard situations where people replace an Atheros adapter with an Intel Centrino adapter, but I have not looked much further than this. Your local (or trusted) technician should be able to help. The drivers for Atheros 9285 v9 or below has some issues with Microsoft update.
Use WLAN Driver Atheros v10. It worked for me. You can download from After you download, unzip the file. Go to Device Manager, right click on Network control, update driver and search for drivers in my computer. Point to the above location.
And install.this sounds like exactly the problem I started having when I allowed a new laptop to do a Windows Update. After that, wireless driver reports 'a problem' and I can't connect wireless! I have downloaded the.221 driver, deleted the old driver via device manager, told it to load from the un-zipped directory; still doesn't work though;(. I too am now having this issue within the last week with a HP laptop G60. I assumed a Windows uppdate caused it so I retored to a prevoius point before the last three critical updates, two weeks prevoius, with no success.
