Qualcomm atheros ar9485 802.11b/g/n wifi adapter

Hello, I do not appear on the computer wifi 5
Is qualcomm atheros ar9485 802.11b / g / n wifi adapter also supports wifi network 5?

Hi, Do you mean 5GHz ? No "qualcomm atheros ar9485 802.11b/g/n " does not support 5GHz, you have to live with this. Many new devices still use 2.4GHz and I think this make take few more years. Regards.

WiFi adapter doesn't connect to internet

HP G62-347NR, W7, with Qualcomm Atheros AR985 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter. I just finished replacing the screen in this laptop and the wireless won't connect. Well, it did one time and I can't get it to connect again. In Task Manager the wireless adapter is said to be working properly. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the adapter. When I run the troubleshooter it sometimes says "connections available", sometimes "connections unavailable". At the present it is "connections unavailable". At the end of running the troubleshooter it will say "Widow cannot resolve you wireless connectivity issue". I have checked the information entered and it is ATT****, proper security type, and proper password. The laptop was working fine, just had a cracked screen. I connected an external monitor to the laptop before I replaced the screen and the laptop and wireless worked fine. So what do I do. Thanks.

Hello SamPrivett,
It sounds like the wifi on this MacBook Pro is not working as expected. I want to recommend this article to help troubleshoot what is happening. There are different instructions depending on what version of the Mac OS is on the computer:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

[Solved] Atheros AR9271 802.11n usb wifi disconnect with 3.18.5 kernel

After moderate network traffic, wi-fi will disconnect and the adapter becomes unresponsive.
I fixed the problem by downgrading to 3.17.6 kernel. This topic is to determine if this is a kernel
bug or a problem with my setup.
I am using the ath9k_htc driver.
The text that floods dmesg is different depending on usb port version.

Same problem with :
01:06.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR5416 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5008 802.11(a)bgn] (rev 01)
This is a dlink PCI card that i use during 2 years without problem until recently with the last 3.18 kernel. It begin with some error -5 and after error -22. I have to reboot my computer to have wifi back.
I try to reload the ath9k module with :
modprobe -r ath9k
modprobe ath9k
But the module refuse to load back due to an impossibility to reset hardware (!)
If someone have a solution

Internet sharing wifi 802.11b/g

Hi. I don't know if this is possible or maybe I'm looking at it at the wrong way. I am trying to share internet from my MBP via Wifi. But the other non mac laptops can't connect to it. They can see the wifi connection, but they can't connect to it.
I'm thinking that my MBP is broadcasting in 802.11n while the other laptops only have 802.11b/g. If this is the case, can i make my MBP broadcast in 802.11b/g?
If this isn't the case, what can I do to give them internet?
My ipod touch does get internet from this broadcast though.
Thanks in advance.

You can definitely share wireless from your laptop by setting up what's known as an 'ad hoc network'. Usually this means that the IPs issued are in the 169.254.x.y range, which is otherwise better known as APIPA and when not being used as an ad hoc network range indicates that there's a problem with the DHCP server.
You can also turn on DHCP yourself and set up a valid private range, usually in the 192.168.x.y range.
Your laptop will work with 802.11n, g, b, and a systems.
You will need to turn on Internet Sharing, select the relevant ports, and turn off the relevant firewall entries. Other devices will need to pick up the signal (which will not be strong) and will need to use the correct network.

Lenovo Ideacentre B540p Wifi 802.11b/g/n Able to Detect 5Ghz?

I am currently using asus router RT-N56U (Dual band - 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz) to share a 200mbps fibre boardband.
However, Lenovo B540p wireless network connection is unable to detect the router's 5Ghz network, only able to detect 2.4Ghz. I thought 802.11n is supposed to detect both 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz?

hi wenlianglo,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The Wifi cards provided on this model onlys supports single band up to 802.11b/g/n 2.4ghz
It will not be able to detect the 5ghz band network.
It is somewhat similar to this brand and model that max out at 2.4ghz
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/wireless-n-7260-bluetooth...
The 5ghz version of that is a Wireless AC 7260 that operates at 2.4 and 5ghz.

Restrict wifi to 802.11b on T400 with windows 7?

Hi Folks, I need to restrict connection of my intel 5300 to 802.11b at work (g is flaky for some reason). On XP, access connections would let me restrict my mode to 802.11b. In my new Windows 7 installation, however, I can't figure out how to make that happen. Is there any way to restrict my wifi to 802.11b in Windows 7? Thanks, a T400, 2764-CTO Intel 5300 AGN Windows 7

13-b000no, Qualcomm Atheros, WiFi disconnects frequently

Hi, I have a HP Pavilion 13-b000no Notebook with Qualcomm Atheros WiFi adapter. I have installed latest drivers available from HP Support Assistance Software. The WiFi keeps dropping frequently after every 5-10 min of usage. The same happens if I install the latest driver available from Windows Update. Is there a workaround / fix for that?The product was purchased in March this year.

Hi andyfromgilbert,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the WiFi works in other location but not at home. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

¿Tengo wifi 802.11n o 802.11b?

Hola, hace una semana compré el AIO C560. En las especificaciones indica:
Tipo de Wireless LAN: 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n
Pero el problema está en que en las propiedades del equipo no me aparece 802.11n Preamble sino 802.11b Preamble.
Tengo 200 megas de jazztel (fibra optica) y el pc está a 20 metros del router con 2 paredes por medio. Me marca 10 megas y descargando lo hace a 800kb/s.
¿Sabeis por qué me aparece 802.11b en lugar de 802.11n? ¿Si apareciese la "n" tendría más velocidad, o por lo menos más alcance (2 barritas de 5).
Os adjunto una imagen: http://www.subeimagenes.com/img/lenovo-c560-1126859.html
Gracias

I think I found my answer here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Apple is still beyond this tech!
Routers that support 802.11n should be configured for 802.11a/n mode for maximum speed and compatibility. Routers that only support 802.11a can be left in 802.11a mode. Different Wi-Fi routers support different radio modes, so the exact setting will vary depending on the Wi-Fi router in use. In general, enable support for all modes. Devices will then automatically select the fastest commonly supported mode to communicate. Note that choosing a subset of the available modes will prevent older devices from connecting (for example, 802.11a devices will be unable to connect to a Wi-Fi router in 802.11n-only mode). In addition, choosing a subset of the available modes may cause interference with nearby legacy networks, and may cause nearby legacy devices to interfere with your network.

Envy M4 with atheros AR9485 wireless adaptor

I recently purchased an Envy M4 1015dx and I wanted to add bluetooth to it. From HP's site I purchased the Atheros AR9485 PN#675794-001 and installed it. I've downloaded the drivers from the site and installed them, but I have no bluetooth options anywhere that I can find. I've searched through the forum here and had no luck on what I'm doing wrong. The service guide for my computer shows that the card is supported and the wifi part seems to be working fine, but no bluetooth. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks.

After doing some more research on that wireless adapter, I determined that it does not have bluetooth compatibility.
Here is the product page for the wireless adapter and it does not mention bluetooth anywhere on it:
http://www.qca.qualcomm.com/networking/brand.php?brand=3&product=105
For bluetooth to work, you would have to have one of the following devices -
Atheros AR3011 Bluetooth 3.0 + HS Adapter
Qualcomm Atheros AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS Adapter
Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS Adapter
Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS Adapter

Envy Desktop 700 Series Atheros AR9485 not working properly, very slow.

Hi,
I recently bought an HP ENVY 700-060ea Desktop PC Drivers which was completely fine for the first three months of use.
After that I have had issues with the Atheros AR9485 wiresless card not even giving me 1mbs whilst every other device i own hits nearly 50. I have researched the issue and found it's not just me being affected. I have tried using three versions of drivers from 10.0.298, 10.0.297 and 10.0.287 for 64bit windows 8.1 and none of them seem to make any postive inpact. I am running out of options and don't really want to purchase a wifi usb connecter just so i can use my pc the way it was orignally intended to be used.
Are their any other options available to me or anything I haven't tried as of yet?
Thanks!

Hi,
Try the Windows 8.1 HP posted Atheros driver for your PC. This may or may not solve your issue. The wireless card might be faulty or you might have too many physical obstructions between the PC and the wireless hub.

Get 5800 to use 802.11b even when the router suppo...

I wonder if there's a way to get the 5800 to use 802.11b mode WiFi although the router supports both 802.11b/g. I checked all the connection settings menus and even in the advanced connection settings but I didn't find a way to do this. So does anyone of you guys here know if this is possible at all and if so how it could be done? thx

As I said, it would be dependent upon the hardware. Hope that its not a hardware shortcoming and a software thing which may be resolved in the future.

Please Help! Change RG60G to 802.11b?!

Hey all,
How can i change the RG60G MSI wireless router to 802.11b from 802.11b/g, 802,11g?
Please Answer Asap

When a router is in 802.11b/g, you can use electronics that to connect to the router regardless if they use the b or g protocol. My router's wireless(which is set to both b and g) can be connected by my daughter's machine(that uses b) and mine and my wife's(which use g).
So, the short answer is yes, it should have no problem.

Airport card 802.11b sees other networks but NOT my network!

Hi. Having a very strange tech issue today...
I have a 1ghz ti-book that no longer wants to connect or even SEE my home network after waking up from sleep. Up until today there has never been an issue. My home network is distributed via a Netgear 802.11b and g wireless router. Again, I have never ever had any issue whatsoever connecting to my network. WEP is enabled. There are also 6 other computers all connecting to the same network via wireless too. No problems.
The crazy thing is I know the card is still functioning properly because I can still see all the other available networks around in my area. Even when I place the ti-book RIGHT NEXT to the antenna on the netgear router, it refuses to acknowledge that it is there. Meanwhile, it is showing all of my neighbors networks just fine!
The only variable in this equation is that the hinge of the display is damaged, such that it won't stay open "by itself". The display normally has to be propped up against something. The machine works fine otherwise, no issues. The weak bezel breaking is an issue that many ti-book owners faced and it has been broken for a LONG time with no performance issues at all. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the wire to the antenna for the Airport card goes up the side of the display and somehow the wire is damaged or frayed. I don't know if this is how the ti-book was designed....does anyone know? Specifically, if the wire for the airport card runs along inside the case of the display on the 15 inch 1ghz ti-book?
If it does not...and it seems like it is not hardware damage to the cable because how else could I still be getting other networks but not my own...then I am stumped as to how to trick my machine into recognizing the network again. I have done the basic things such as booting into single user mode and rebuilding my index, logging in as root and other users to see if the preferences were corrupt, and even installing a bunch of wifi wardriving apps to force recognition of my network and still nothing!
Again the machine is right next to the access point, so what is causing it to no longer "see" it? I also updated the firmware in the router and checked configurations but no changes have been made and all the other machines work fine. Also it has NEVER done this before so I don't know how to troubleshoot it!
*What would cause an airport card to reject the signal that it is configured to connect to? How should I go about getting it to see the network again...without reconfiguring the network which would mean having to update all the other machines, etc.* I have macstumbler and istumble running and they see PLENTY of networks except for the closest one. It is so bizarre. It was working when I went to bed and now today, no network. I have rebooted numerous times, etc.
please help!! i need some ideas!!!
thanks!

a somewhat in depth search across the interwebs has lead me to the conclusion that this problem is also affecting Leopard users as well. (I am on old hardware and running the latest Tiger) To be honest, I can not remember if there was an Apple update right before this problem started to happen. However, it seems real enough and many users out there are having problems re-connecting to their home/work networks after waking from sleep.
just to clarify:
Using a ti-book with normal airport card installed (b not g)
Connected to a Netgear wireless router (configured to manage both b and g traffic)
WEP 64bit encryption key is being used for network
No problems whatsoever until a few days ago
what works:
unplugging the power to the Netgear router (cycling power)
what doesn't work:
waking from sleep
restarting
manually entering network name and password
using 3rd party apps to find network
resetting/deleting Network location preferences and creating new one
deleting AppleAirPort2.kext from /System/Library/Extensions/
using either Diagnostic or Assistant mode to reconnect from scratch
it should NOT be this difficult to solve a networking issue. what is going on here?

G580 with Windows 8.1 Pro - Installer can't find Qualcomm atheros AR81 family ethernet controller

Dear Support / Friends.
I am using G580 for the past 1.8 years. Over the last two days i am unable to connect to the internet using the Ethernet cable.The Lan Adapter is a constant Green/Orange Light. Tried reinstalling the AtherosLan(v2.1.0.21) driver, it says Installer can't find Qualcomm Atheros AR81 family Ethernet controller.
I have already rebooted the system by loading OS default in BIOS setup,removed the RAM modules for a while after switching off the laptop, but to no avail the problem still persists.
Surprisingly, I can connect to the internet only through the WiFi adapter.
Can any one help me resolve this issue, as I have been racking my head for solutions on the internet, including opening up the laptop and removing all the hardware components and re-assembling the G580.
Please help me fix this, as I have a feeling it is a software workaround more than a hardware failure.
Thanking you in advance.
Cheers,
air_289

What interests me is the "LANDevice" listed. That is not present on my G580, even when showing hidden devices. I can not see mention of it anywhere on the net, would that be a possible indicator showing that Windows has remapped the LAN Device to some incorrect driver?
If I could see the Hardware ID from that device it would help me locate what it might be attached to. Right click on device, choose properties, then the details tab, then use the drop down to select Hardware ID, copy and past into your response.
Good luck.
PS - while you are cleaning, look at the pins inside the socket - none should be touching or crossed over, would "short out" the port.

Disable 802.11b/g

Can i disable 802.11b/g in my new Time Capsule that supports 802.11ac? Ultimaltely I want to disable all standards under 802.11ac (when iPhone/iPad finally supports it)
I have read old wifi standards slows downs routers/acess points etc.

Can i disable 802.11b/g in my new Time Capsule that supports 802.11ac?
Sorry, but no.
Whlle you could customize and maximize previous versions of the Time Capsule, Apple has "upgraded" things by removing the settings that would allow this in the "new" Time Capsule.
