Windows 10: Deleted Network adapter Qualcomm

I was troubleshooting my wifi and it gave me an option to delete my network adapter and reinstall I did it but it never reinstalled and I have tried everything

:)

 

Guide: Turn your Killer E2200 NIC into Qualcomm Atheros AR8161

Basically I right click on the Killer Network Adapter in Device manager > Uninstall > Check the box to DELETE driver for this device

Then you won't have a relevant network adapter listed. So you have to add a new device, and I just followed the instructions listed in this thread... does that help?

 

Lost internet after hibernation with network adapter Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless

Hi pgomes_2000,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adapter after hibernation.

1. Power Management Settings:

- Open Device Manager.

- Locate your Qualcomm Atheros network adapter, right-click on it, and select "Properties."

- Go to the "Power Management" tab and uncheck the option that allows the computer to turn off the device to save power.

2. Suggests that you can try to reinstall and update the Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adapter driver. To do this, you need to follow these steps:

Use Windows search to search for device manager and select the first result it open it.

Expand Network adapters.

Right-click on Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adapter and then select Uninstall device.

Restart your computer and let Windows automatically re-detect the adapter and re-install its driver.

Alternatively, you can download the latest driver from the official website of Qualcomm or Acer and install it manually.

3. Reset TCP/IP:

- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.

- Type the following commands one by one and press Enter after each:

netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

4. Network Troubleshooter:

- Run the built-in Windows Network Troubleshooter. Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Internet Connections.

If none of these steps resolve the problem, reaching out to the laptop manufacturer's support directly might provide more tailored assistance or potential warranty-related solutions, especially if this issue has persisted across driver changes.

I hope this helps. If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.



Your Sincerely
