Hey All 

I have a Qualcomm Atheros AR9002WB-1NG Wireless Network Adapter installed into my Qosmio F750 Laptop. Once upgrading to Windows 8.1 from 8.0 my wireless network adapter no longer worked. I've read all the discussions and nothing helped. The following steps got mine working without having to install new drivers or anything like that.

Follow these steps and you away:

1 - Open up windows explorer

2 - Right click on 'This PC' and click on Properties

3 - Click on 'Device Manager'

4 - Expand network adapters so that you can see the driver name. It had a yellow triangle underneath it for me.

5 - Right click on the driver and select 'update driver software'

6 - Select 'Browse my computer for driver software'

7 - Select 'let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'

8 - Mine comes up with two drivers, they are both called the same but one has (Microsoft) at the end the other had (Qualcomm Atheros Communic.......)

9 - Select the one that ends in (Microsoft) and click next.

10 - Crack a beer and enjoy glorious wifi again

This worked for me and hopefully it'll work for you too!

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply.

    Do you get any error message when you connect your wireless network?

    The Windows 8 drivers should ideally work on Windows 8.1 Operating System.

    Please run the Network Adapter troubleshooter.

    a. Open the Network Adapter troubleshooter by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, and clicking on Search.

    b. Type troubleshooting in the search box, clicking Settings, then clicking Troubleshooting.

    c.  Click Network and Internet, then click Network Adapter.
