This laptop came with Windows 10 (Home?), but we had to upgrade to Windows 10 Education for college. Usually at college, whenever I'm doing something on the internet (downloading a document, browsing the web, making an online test), the internet connection (which is wireless) stops working. The following is a little timeline of what happens; 1.
Wireless connection becomes really slow/not working 2. The wireless connection icon changes into a wireless connection icon with a yellow triangle sign, indicating there's no internet 3. Wireless connection icon with the yellow triangle sign changes into a ethernet connected icon, but now with a red error sign, indicating there's no connections available at all (as if the wireless adapter is disconnected/disabled) 4. Wireless connection icon comes back, now with a. sign, indicating there ARE internet connections available, but I'm not connected to any. Whenever I try to connect to a wifi connection at this point, it tells me there's not a connection available, and I get kicked out of every wireless connection I try to connect to.
Like I said, this usually happens when I'm at college, which seems like it's a problem with the school network in combination with my wireless card, as the connection at home is flawlessly fast with no disconnects. BUT about 30 minutes ago while I was sitting on the couch at home, the same thing happened. Wireless connection dropped, and I couldn't connect anymore.
For now, this hasn't happened in the time I've been typing this. A quick fix I've found for this is to restart the laptop, or open and close the lid. This makes it work for a certain period of time, but it's not a permanent fix.

I've contacted my college's helpdesk but they said it's my problem, not theirs. This problem is really frustrating, as I'm doing a study which requires a laptop since most of my homework/assignments/tests/exams are on laptops, and they need an active internet connection. The wireless adapter is a Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter. I've already tried disabling and re-enabling the driver, updating the driver (Windows says the latest drivers are installed), CMD commands ( netsh winsock reset, netsh int ip reset, ipconfig /release, /flushdns and /renew) but no luck so far. I hope someone can help me, as I really need this laptop and a active internet connection for my college work. I did download the driver from the website you've provided, and from my knowledge you install new drivers by pressing 'Update Driver Software', then you get an option to either look online for the latest driver or browse your local files. I chose the local files option (which is included in the screenshot I've provided), and I'm getting the message that the latest driver is already installed.
If there's any other method for installing a driver, please let me know. The following screenshot shows what files are in the downloaded.zip file (which is extracted). Well most device drivers are downloaded as executable files so all one need to install is to run the executable file for the driver update. In your case it looks like drive setup executable program is not provided now even do you said you said you have try to upgrade from 'Update Driver Software' have you selected the latest driver folder to install drivers store within that folder. If you have done that then uninstall and reinstall the currently installed driver.

Instead of searching for driver software in the location (like you provided in your screenshot), I pressed the button under that ( Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer), and then selected the driver which was there.
I always thought this was the driver that was already installed in the first place, but apparently it wasn't, since it updated the driver (at least, it tells me so.) I'm at college right now and I haven't experienced any cut-outs yet, I'll post back at the end of my day and will let you know if it's fixed or not. So it's been 5 days since posting here, and I can say the problem hasn't been fixed. It looked like it was fixed, but today it's happening again. I've learned that it usually happens when I'm 'intensively' using the internet connection (streaming Spotify, listening to online radio or watching a YouTube video). Internet connection through the cable works perfectly fine without cut-outs, but it's a hassle to find a class with ethernet ports that I can use. I've talked to the person that is closest to the network administration and he's going to help me further on with solutions he can find. I'll keep posting here if we find a solution for this.
