Well I resolved it by bypassing the wireless adapter and buying a nano external wireless usb thing, it works perfectly now. problem still not fixed however.

I found a way to fix my Network, ive manually uninstalled the Network cards Drivers and downloaded the following file "win78-10.0.0.75-whql" from

http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-download.php?chipset=81&system=6

and simply installed the driver via the Device Manager

Hope this will help some of you.

This worked great for me, my grandmother, who found this article asked me to install this for her, which i did and it worked. TO INSTALL FOR THOUGHTS WHO DON'T KNOW, search for device manager, find your network adapter, right click it, hit properties, hit update driver, brows your computer, find the download zip file that was linked (good idea to have it downloaded before you start this) and install. works like a dream for corrupted driver via an update and even works for windows 10, which is what i did this on as when my grandmother updated to win 10 the driver probably corrupted.
