Hi,

 

Windows Update keeps telling me there is an update for my Qualcomm Atheros Communications Inc. - Network - Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter.  But it keeps erroring and I cannot find a fix for it.  My current driver is 9.2.0.310.  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1, 64-bit.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions/solutions?  Do I even need to be concerned with updating the driver?  I am having no connectivity issues currently, but obviously want to avoid them down the road.  I do lose connection every now and then for a moment, but it always resolves itself within minutes so I'm not really sure that's even related to the network adapter...perhaps moreso with my ISP or router.

 

Any thoughts, suggestions, and/or solutions are greatly appreciated.

 

TIA
