Wireless Problems

[rw.Sentenced]

Heya,
Running Window 7 professional 64-bit, Atheros AR9285 Wireless Chip, and a Belkin N+ Router, my internet keeps flicking on and off randomly. My Router doesn't seem to be the problem because my secondary laptop connects fine.

The Wireless drivers are the default ones that came with win7 but i can't seem to find a win7 64-bit update for it.

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix it?

What wireless card do you have?

Its a laptop, and its mentioned above. Atheros AR9285

Maybe try this: when you can't connect, run a Windows Diagnostic / trouble shoot, see if that helps at all.

My bad, I wasn't aware it was a laptop. What you said is a wireless chipset, not a wireless card, which is what I assumed was in it if you had a desktop.

I had problems with wireless before. It was due to the built-in Windows wireless software. Apparently it wasn't too friendly with my router. So, I disabled it, and downloaded / installed my driver's software, and it seemed to solve the problem.

You sure something like: http://www.atheros.cz/download.php?atheros=AR9285&system=2
isn't your driver?

Wow, what a nice company, having broken links. >_<
I am searching for an alternative.

Well, their link is down because they know there is a problem with the driver and they are working on a fix. The file you need is sp46609.exe
