HP Pavilion dv7 WiFi problem

[Jotanovich]

Recently,I decided to buy a HP Pavilion dv7 with Atheros AR 5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter..

The issue is that my WiFi won't work.My router is Huawei HG 530, with WiFi 802.11 b+g+n setting..

When I bought it and came home,and tried connecting to Home network, it worked for 30 minutes,then all of sudden the yellow triangle appeared,and the laptop connects to WiFi sucesfully,but I cannot open any web pages,I've even tried pinging some pages,without luck,just time-outs..

I've installed  driver [ http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-78603-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&... ]

But the driver didn't fixed it.

Also tried changing settings of router,didn't worked..

Can someone help me with this issue?

Hi:

I think you should try a newer driver that that one.

Hi, @Kytazdevil :

See if this driver works...
