Windows 10: Wireless Network Adaptor problems

Every few months I lose internet connection on my computer and I get the same error message about problem with the network adaptor.


I have the following message:

Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adaptor is experiencing driver or hardware-related problems.


I normally roll back the driver and that fixes it, but it won't allow me to this time.


I have a Samsung Tablet.


How can I fix this problem and is there a way I can stop it from reoccurring in the future?


Thank you

wireless network adaptor problems

Hi,

All help gratefully received. Following latest windows 10 update. Internal wireless network adaptor on my laptop keeps cutting out. The network diagnostic tool can resolve the issue, but only for 5 to 60 minutes before it happens again

The drivers are up to date. Its a Qualcomm Atheros AR956x wireless network adaptor in a Toshiba laptop

Any thoughts re: a permanent solution?

 

wireless network

Vista or XP?

You need to go in and delete the network. Then it will pick it up again, and ask you to enter the key again.

On Vista, you do this by going into Networking and Sharing Center. The click on Customize, then click on Merge or delete network locations. Find the SSID of the router in the list, and delete it.

On XP, I believe you have to go to Network Connections, then right click on your Wireless Adaptor. Go to Status, and there should be a button to Manage Wireless Networks, that should take you to where you need to be to delete the network.

 

Problem with wireless connection

Hi,

What is the make and model of your computer?

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in the following link:

Wired and wireless network problems

Also applies to Windows 10.

If the issue persist, I suggest you to un-install the current version of wireless card driver installed and then try to download and install wireless card drivers from your computer manufacturer website and check.

Follow the steps on how to un-install the wireless card driver.

• 
  Press Windows Key + X.
  
• 
  Select Device Manager.
  
• 
  Expand Network adaptors.
  
• 
  Right click on wireless card driver and select
  Un-install.
  

Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click
OK to remove the driver.

After the un-installation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible.

Computer will load the network adaptor card. Now you may check with the issue.

If the above steps doesn't help, I suggest you to login to other computer which has internet connectivity, visit the computer manufacturer website of the issue computer and then download the latest driver
for the wireless card and save it to a external flash drive. Once you successfully save the drivers setup file, insert the flash drive on the issue computer and then try to install the drivers and check with the issue.

Please reply us on the status of the issue to assist you further.
