Wi-Fi adapter need to be reset persistently !

Hello 
I've just updated my OS to 8.1 coming from 8 and i noticed that the WiFi connection is noticably less stable with regular disconnections that forces me to reset the adapter at 15 min  intervals ( average ) which leaves me to reset it at least 30 times a day to get it working  again -clicking the wireless button on\off do it too -  . My laptop uses the Atheros 9485 Chipset and i found out there alot of people experiencing connectivity issues with WIN8.1 and the only way out is to update the drive in which both Windows and HP website ( +HP support assiatant ) insist that i'm using the latest driver of 9\10\2013 ( 10.0.0.268) while other websites claim the 10.0.299 to be the lastest . Is this legit ? if yes can some one please provide me with the download link ? and why isn't the firmware listed on HP's website ? 

You're very welcome.
Sorry that didn't work.
I'm thinking since the wireless was working OK before the upgrade, then it is probably some kind of driver issue.
Here is a listing of all the qualcomm atheros wireless and bluetooth drivers sorted by date.
I can't sort by operating system, so you will have to look each of them over.
Perhaps one of them has the answer you are looking for.
Other than that, unfortunately I don't have any other ideas for you to try.

  • HT1414 why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

    why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

    Hi Cyprus11,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is shutting down unexpectedly, I recommend going through these troubleshooting steps:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • I need help with resetting my ichat. When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in?

    I need help with resetting my ichat. When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.

    Hi,
    iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
    However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
    In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
    AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat  (Until the 30th June 2014)
    As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
    Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
    Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
    About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
    If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
    In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
    Navigate to Preferences.
    (If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
    Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
    Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

  • Macbook 13" 2009 shutting down when moved randomly and when finally able to turn back on time and date needs to be reset.. Help?

    2 times in the last week when i have picked up my macbook to place beside me it has shut down, and takes a little while to turn back on, when it does turn on again the date and time needs to be reset and wifi password  needs to be re-entered as well..
    I have no idea what is going on but i dont like it... any help would be great !!

    That battery is relatively healthy, say relatively due to the high cycle count, the number of full charge cycles it has had.  The lower capacity simply reflects the high number of charge cycles and is not an issue, only a measure of how long the MacBook will work when running on battery power.  The voltage is right where it should be for a MacBook, in the range of 11.5 to 12.5 volts...12.3 volts is a strong battery.
    Now to the auto-shutdown for lack of a better term - that sounds a lot like something loose inside the MacBook that when jarred shorts/shutsdown the sytem with a loss of basic information.  You could try things like an SMC reseet or PRAM reset but I seriously doubt they would have any affect.  Best option would be a visit to an Apple store genius bar to have the techs run some diagnostics to see if they can identify something going wrong inside.
    Hope this helps and you can find resolution...auto shutdowns of this type are not really good for the system.

  • 30GB IPOD needed to be reset to factory settings...HELP

    my 2 yr old 30 GB ipod needed to be reset to factory settings as it was not being recognized by my computer or itunes. It stated the the ipod was corrupt. Apple support in Burlington suggested to reset to factory settings as othe measures didn't work. I now have new computer and need to know if I have to reload the itunes CD or just login to Itunes store.

    You need to download the latest version of iTunes from Apple (the "itunes store" is not involved).
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    The disc that came with the iPod will have an older version of the software, so download the latest. Install iTunes. Put all of your music and other media into the iTunes library. Connect the iPod. It should be recognized by iTunes. Depending on the current settings on the iPod, it may or may not ask if you want to sync the iPod to the iTunes library. If you sync, the music in your iTunes library will be copied to the iPod, and replace whatever music is already on the iPod.
    If you want to Restore the iPod to erase it and and initialize the software, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar and click on the Restore button. This will install the latest available software for the iPod (technically not "factory settings"). After the Restore process completes and the iPod restarts, iTunes will again ask if you want to sync the iPod to your library or not (do it manually).

  • Ipod video needs to be reset when using shuffle songs.

    I like to shuffle my 4800 plus songs on my new ipod, but I have noticed that after turning it off for an extended period of time usually a couple hours or over night, it needs to be reset. I have not tried to retore it as of yet, but I plan on to see if that helps. Has anyone else experienced this?

  • How to fix a router needs to be reset every morning?

    I just purchased a new WRT54G V8.0. I upgraded to 8.0.0.2 and set up my network. I have 3 wireless devices and one wired device. The wireless devices are the Desktop, the Laptop, and the Wii console. The wired device is the Xbox.
    My problem is this... The network works perfectly all day, no problems what so ever except every morning the router has to be reset and I can't figure out why. Any ideas on how to fix this??
    Wireless is set up for DHCP using WAP-PSK with TKIP auth and MAC adress filtering. Everything connects and work fine throughout the day but every morning it needs to be reset.
    Thanks.
    Message Edited by DaveW on 08-24-2007 08:46 AM

    already tried that. the problem is that the router won't assign an IP. Even on the wireless machines, the router shows up as available. I can even connect to it, the problem is it won't assign an IP. I've reset the preferences for the wireless connection, including the WAP key then attempted to recconect. I still couldn't get an IP.
    This morning I just reset the router without playing with any settings on the computers. After resetting the router I attempted to reconnect. It asked me to enter the WAP key again, so I did and it connects perfectly.
    It's not a huge problem I suppose... but it's really annoying to have to reset the router every morning.

  • My ipod touch 1st gen . needs to be reset the wi-fi

  • Wireless accesspoint needs to be reset every morning

    We do have 2 airport extreme stations that needs to be reset every morning before users can connect to it.
    We connected the airports to a UPS to see if the problem disappeared but it is still there.
    One of the lights of the airport extreme is off (left)
    by resetting the airport everything is back to normal.
    the airports do have the latest software installed.
    I do know there is a lot of interfearence in the building.
    Could this be the cause or is it something else.

    I think I am having the same problem. Every morning and sometimes in the middle of the day when I leave my ocmputer for a few hours I have to restart my DSL modem and my airport as well as a router i have for my VONAGE phone. Everything is working correctly and connected correctly as well. It works fine but when i leave the computer for some time I lose my internet connection. I disconnected my airport entirely and just plugged the DSL directly into my computer and there was no problem so it is for sure some conflict with my airport extreme. I have the main base station which is the Airport Extreme and a express for my stereo and then another express in the back of the house extending the range.
    It was all working perfectly when i first set it up but now this just started. i have been on the phone with vonage and with SBC for the dsl and the problem is not with their hardware. I tried calling Apple but they wanted $$ to even talk to me over the phone which I thought was pretty lame.
    Can anyone offer suggestions that might help me?
    thanks

  • WIFI NEEDS TO BE RESET EVERY 2 MINUTES

    ON MY WI FI I HAVE TO RESET MY IPHONE 5 WIFI EVERY 2 MINUTES IF LEFT UNUSED. CAN ANYBODY GUIDE PLEASE AS THERE ARE OTHER PHONES IN THE SAME WIFI NETWORK N THEY DONT NEED TO BE RESET LIKE THE WAY I DO ON MY IPHONE 5

    - It's connected behind another router (WRT54G). It's been working without any problems for 2 weeks in that config. - I upgraded the firmware the day I got it, before I set it up with my VOIP providers. - I have already reset it to factory defaults when the problem cropped up with no improvement. * I'm reluctant to re-flash it now since it loses network connectivity. If it were to go on the blink in the middle of the reflash process, wouldn't it make the box completely unresponsive? If that's the last recourse and the only thing anyone can recommend, I guess I'll try that if Linksys phone support can't get me any other solutions when I call them today.

  • Time Capsule needs to be reset every time I print wirelessly or watch Apple TV

    Hello all!
    My Time Capsule keeps dropping my wireless printer and Apple TV. Every time I want to stream a movie to my Apple TV it needs to be reset, and everytime I want to print wirelessly it needs to be reset. However, my internet connection remains constant and never has any interuptions.
    Please help, it's getting really annoying to run upstairs to reset the time capsule every time I wanna watch a movie.
    Thanks

    It is reported here all the time that the TC needs daily reboots.. you are highly fortunate that it is only weekly..
    The fact is the old TC using 7.5 firmware was probably hugely more reliable than the current one which is not able to be flashed back beyond 7.6. There is a bug.. and as yet no Apple confession of issues.
    But most people can get away without a reboot.. you just need to disconnect all users.. which was an option in the v5 utility.. now left out of v6.
    Strongly recommend you install v5 utility.
    (Or get electrical timer to restart the TC on a nightly basis).
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
    For screen shots see this post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4668746?tstart=0
    Most common message in history of the TC.. something has failed to unmount.. Lion and esp. Mountain Lion are affected.
    Simple way.. reboot the TC to lose the connections..
    Might take a network reboot.
    But from 5.6 utility you can disconnnect all users.

  • Does my password need to be reset every once in awhile?

    My iPad will occasionally decided to forget my password, but when I re-enter it, it will refuse to acknowledge it. I can only access the features of iTunes and the App Store etc, if I reset my password on the apple site. There seems to be no real pattern for this treachery that I can figure out, so perhaps I am just being a noob and am not aware that the apple password needs to be reset after awhile? This has happened approximately 4 times and I am Running out of password ideas.

    Nope! I'm not getting any message other than one asking me if I have forgotten my password, then giving me the option of recovering it. My iPad simply refuses to accept that the password that I put in is correct... This happened before iOS6 as well... Could it be that I am living in a country other than where my AppleID is based?
