If your PC cant be connected to internet, download the driver using another PC with internet access.
You can install the driver by just double-clicking on the executable file and follow the on-screen instructions. Usually, the downloaded driver will be in executable format (.exe).
Way 2: Download and install the driver from manufacturer Since Atheros doesnt produce drivers themselves, you can go to your PC manufacturers website to check for and download the latest driver.īefore you get started, ensure that you know the PC model and the specific operating system that you are using (Windows 10 32-bit or Windows 10 64-bit).

If you cant update the driver successfully using Method 1, move on and try other methods. Then Windows will find and install drivers for the wireless adapters automatically.
It's like the adapter is running on 30% of its capabilities and it really bothers me. I have Qualcomm 3.0.2.201 driver and it kinda works OK, but the range is limited.
I'm not sure what happened originally I guess when I did the 8.1 update, the computer downloaded the driver update but for some reason didn't run it. She had me run the Qualcomm update, and it has worked fine ever since. The woman from the tech line had me use "search this computer", and 2 updates popped up, one from Microsoft and one from Qualcomm. I chose the second option, thinking it would be better to search both places. When I searched for driver updates, the system gave me two options: "Search this computer for updates" or "Search this computer and search online for updates". I finally called the Microsoft tech line, not really expecting any help, and they walked me through the fix. I had looked several times for driver updates, and each time i got a message saying I had the latest version. I had the same issue, and just got it fixed yesterday.
I think I need new Network driver that is compatible with windows 10. Since I upgraded to windows 10 my Qualcomm® Atheros® AR9485WB-EG Wireless Network Adapter has stoped worrking.
