CPU: Intel Core i3-4005U CPU @ 1.70GHz, I run Win7 32bit 4GB RAM. I am using a BBox 3 modem, Modus 802 11b\/g\/n, provided by Belgacom, Proximus, my internet provider.<\/p>\n<p>Noteworthy is that my wife&#8217;s PC has no problem connecting wirelessly. So I suspect it must be my wireless adapter. When I run SPECCY I get info about what&#8217;s what in my laptop. I get the following info for the wireless adapter:<\/p>\n<p>Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter<br \/>\nConnection-specific DNS Suffix lan<br \/>\nConnection Name Wireless Network Connection<br \/>\nDHCP enabled Yes<br \/>\nMAC Address 5C-93-A2-EA-E1-D1<\/p>\n<p>Of course the adapter may be physically damaged, but I thought maybe it&#8217;s the driver. So I went to:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20170702083754\/https:\/\/www.atheros-drivers.com\/atheros-wireless-drivers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.atheros-drivers.com\/ath&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>and then I got confused. Which driver to choose. Can you help me ? Thanks in advance.<br \/>\nW.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":9},"question-category":[49],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-3338","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-networking"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/3338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=3338"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=3338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
