Hi:

 

Yes, you need to update the wifi driver because for some reason the card doesn't work with WPA2 security on most newer routers.

 

Accordingly you need this driver...sp54972.exe 

 

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