Atheros Modem
The above is the title to a question ask by Deb O. On May 17, 2018 about losing wifi router connections (the thread is now locked). Her text is exactly what is happening to me (losing connection constantly and having to reset her router often.) However,all the links she posted for Atheros drivers are not working. I was advised by my internet provider that I could buy a USB adapter to bring my connection up to 5 Ghz to help with the interference I'm getting when streaming videos.
I can't figure out if thiscan be done for my particular pc. I have the above network adapter inside my Win10 laptop showing 802.11 Preamble in the Advanced tab. I also have a 3.0 usb port.

Do I need a dual 2.4 to 5.0 Ghz or can I just get a 5.0 Ghz dongle? Will a wireless adapter evenwork with the above network adapter on my laptop?

It may be a Function (Fn) key or it may be an actual switch on the side.Try powering off modem, router and PC and then restarting in that order with 1 minute in between each.Try updating the Network adapter driver from the PC's Support Downloads webpage.If that doesn't help try Rolling back and then Uninstalling the Network adapter driver in Device Manager.
Right click Start to open Device Manager, choose the Network adapter you're using, on Driver tab choose Roll back, restart PC. If that doesn't help ryUninstall, restart to reinstall.Try all of these steps:Go over this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done:Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files. Then continue with the other steps to go over your install mostthoroughly.I'd also check at SettingsUpdate & SecurityWindows Update under Installed Updates if there were WIndows Updates installed before this problem started.

You can uninstall them from the link there to see if the problem goes away. If so you can hide the Updatesby installing and running Hide Updates tool from here:You can also try to System Restore to a point before the problem began:If nothing else helps then run a Repair Install by installing the Media Creation Tool and choosing from it to Upgrade Now. This solves many problems and will also bring it up to the latest version which you need anyway and by the most stable method.You also are entitled to Support from your internet provider to get online on all devices.
This is always included in the monthly bill. If your router is less than a year old they will also Support getting it connected.Another option is you could replace the wireless adapter with an inexpensive USB nano adapter like this one:Or you can use an Ethernet cable as necessary which should connect automatically.I hope this helps.
