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!

Exact same problem for me, unresolved after over 2 weeks. Cannot get in to computer to make any changes so used recovery disks to clean reinstall Windows 7. Wrongly thinking that Microsoft/Toshiba/Qualcomm would by now have identified & fixed the problem I reinstalled W8 & upgraded back up to W8.1 only for the same problem to recur. Back to W7 again now. Some corporate acceptance of responsibility for this problem is overdue.

Had the same issue with my Sattelite L775, this is what I did:

Boot into safemode, go into "ComputerAdministration", then "Device Manager" locate the Network adapters and update the current driver with this:
