Drivers for my Pavilion DV6736nr

[RS4_12]

I found this post and it has a link that is old and doesn't work anymore.

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Wireless-and-Networking/Problem-with-Atheros-AR5007-802-11b-g...

I can't connect to the internet with my Atheros Card and I also found this: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/31108-43-help-atheros-ar5007-wifi-adapter-connecting-router

and in there it says to change the network address to 192.168.1.1 in advanced settings of the device which didn't work and I also tried 192.168.0.1 since that is my default gateway.

So I'm guessing that its an outdated driver?? since the first link people have gotten it to work with the linked driver but since the link doesn't work anymore I can't try it. I'm able to get onto the internet with ethernet and also with a USB wifi adapter but that is inconvenient and I would like to use the internat mini pcie card since its there.

If someone could link me to the same thing that was linked in that first post that would be great or maybe some other way to get my adapter to work?

Thanks.

Hi:

You need this driver for the Atheros WLAN card to work with WPA2 security...

This package contains the drivers for the supported Atheros Wireless LAN Adapters in the supported notebook models running a supported operating system.
