Qualcomm Atheros Ar9485wb Eg Wireless Network Adapter Driver Windows 10



Hello, So I am trying to fix this laptop for a friend. The problem they're having is that they are unable to connect to the internet, after recently restoring their laptop to factory default settings. Hence, my obvious first move was to update the drivers, including the wireless network adapter.

Did that, and nothing. So I then did a quick internet search, and found a setting to prevent software turning the wireless adapter off. That seemed to fix the problem. Until I did a restart. I then resorted to Windows' Network troubleshooting utility, and found out the adapter keeps turning off.

System specs: ASUS A55V series, Intel Core i5 3210M (2.5GHz, quad core), 8.0GB RAM, NVIDIA GT 630M 2GB EDIT: The OS is Windows 7 Home Premium And the network adapter is an Atheros AR9485WB-EG So help would be great.

Here we go again. They had a page dedicated to drivers (before that deal with Qualcomm, now it's back, but only contains Ethernet NIC software). I personally have never had any sort of problems with Atheros products, since the very first AR5000 Series hardware many years ago (2004), and that's not the first time I hear people are going rough on Atheros, while praising Intel for.
