Windows 10: qualcomm atheros ar956x wifi adapter problems

Hello! I Have an Asus VivoBook Max X541NA laptop and I've been having problems with the network adapter for a long time now.

At first, it was only losing connection once in a while but then soon after it started failing a minute after getting it working again. I swear I tried everything to fix it. Every time I tried to troubleshoot it, windows said that the driver was up to date. I eventually gave up and would just keep it on ethernet. Recently, I finally got it to somewhat work by uninstalling it and then reinstalling and that would work for a little bit but then after an hour or two, it would fail again. I would really like to know how to fix this. Thanks!

Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network adapter and Windows 10

Are you coming to the conclusion that your wifi network adapter (specifically the Qualcomm Atheros AR956x) is faulty because Windows trouble shooter cannot resolve your wifi connectivity issues? I was. I finally found a driver that seems to have solved the
problem. See link below.

My Windows 10 laptop (an Acer Aspire) repeatedly lost its ability to connect to my Wifi network. If I restarted my router it would work until the next time the laptop slept, hibernated or shut down. The trouble shooter could never resolve the issue and the
so-called search for updated drivers always told me I had the latest one. I spent hours trying every so-called solution posted on this and other forums to resolve this issue with no success. After trying various search parameters for drivers I finally found
a link to the driver that solved my problem. (Atheros was the key, not Qualcomm.)

(It seems that the forum truncates the appearance of links, so here is the link in text form:

I do not know why Windows does not find this driver when searching for updated drivers for the AR956x.

I installed it yesterday so it's still early days but so my laptop has seamlessly resumed it's wifi connection after shut-down, sleep and hibernation. It was so great this morning to discover I did not have to restart the router to get the laptop back online!
Hope this helps a bunch of you folks out!
