Presario cq57
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

Hello, recently my wifi was facing problem so i chose to check with troubleshooting and after that my network stopped totally and its saying; "  network cable is not properly plugged in". Though my network was working well before. 

Now, when i tried to install drivers a message pops up. The message says; "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"

What will i do now?

Hi:

 

According to the parts list for your notebook, it comes with an Atheros wifi adapter.

 

This would be the latest W7 32 bit wifi driver you need for your notebook...
