My Network connection every 2min goes into "Not connected state" And my access point doesn't show up in the available networks section. All my other wireless devices still remain connected, it's not an issue with the Modem/Router broadcasting the signal, because I can switch off the router, and the HP Probook 450 G1 still doesn't find the Access Point it's allays supposed to be connected to. It's only when I go to the device manager and uninstall the device and refresh in the device manager when it sees again the access point.
I have already tried uninstalling the Qualcomm adater and downloaded the driver from the driver page off HP's site.
I have also installed SoftPaq and downloaded/updated the drivers there.
I have also went into the device properties of the hardware and disabled power saving.
I've also adjusted the power option to never suspend anything, no sleep.
I've also tried different drivers on the HP Support page (alternative drivers)
My computer has no current Windows 10 updates outstanding.
I can only have constant connection to the router using a UTP cable.
There doesn't seem to be any other suggestions available online.
Is this 450 G1 just outdated? Should I purchase a new laptop because HP doesn't support Windows 10?
Should I perhaps consider buying a USB Wireless adapter instead?
What's the deal here?

Hi:
There are no newer drivers for that model wifi adapter.
If your notebook has two antenna cables connected to the Atheros wifi card in there now, replace the card with this one...
Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0 HP Part # 710661-001
The card is readily available on Amazon or eBay.
Do your search by the HP part #, not the model of the wifi card.
Here's the link to your notebook's service manual. The wifi card R & R procedure can be found in chapter 5.
