If you are running W11 on your notebook, I recommend you try the W10 driver because that would be the last operating system those cards were supported on.
This was also the last driver Atheros released to HP.

If that doesn't work and you want to continue to use W11, then I recommend you purchase a dual band USB Wi-Fi adapter that has support for W11.
