Network Adapter disconnecting

[RogueAshiin]

Hey there, I've been starting to get this really annoying WiFi disconnection from a Network adapter called: Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x41
This problem started after I updated my Drivers from Driver booster because I used to get a Blue screen while gaming, thankfully the problem is fixed. But now I'm stuck with another one.
I've watched alot of tutorials, and its true that some of them helped me regain my Connection.
But i'm looking for something that PREVENTS my Network adaptar from disconnecting, not just fix it to what it was.
Keep in mind this only happens when I'm gaming, not browsing the internet. And that updating Qualcomm isn't an option. Because its simply always Up-to date.
The same happens when I try to update the drivers on Driver booster, they're all up to date. Help

never use software to update other drivers
even windows uipdate grabs wrong and old drivers

uninstall driverbooster
get the correct drivers yourself, it only takes a few minutes from the mfg or chip maker

Made the most promising FIRST recommendation!!!

Let me know if you agree... attempt the uninstall with WiFi switched off. Than run something quick, ADWCleaner (from Malwarebytes actual website) On another computer! You don’t want any downloads from anything with “Driver Support” or “Free Problem Solvers” of any kind. You’ll almost never get the correct links again.

Anyway, run adwcleaner (like I said) let it restart, assuming that the Driver Corruption & “Massive BHO corruptions” are put to rest, Give a Registry clean with (again this ALL depends on the proper sources for these downloads, can’t stress this enough), CCleaner. You guessed it from the sources download page ccleaner.com (piriform). While using ccleaner DISABLE ANY Network drivers that are loading (use TOOLS in the right hand menu). ONLY REMOVE those Qualcomm or Atheros startup programs!

Then you restart one more time. Run the ccleaner Registry tool once, and once again back to ADW! That should put you back at a restart. No worries, if it worked this easily, you’ll haves saved a ton of time & cash!

Turn the WiFi back on. And go DIRECTLY to the (think that’s a Dell XPS card?) MANUFACTURES WEB site. Windows (most current versions 7-10 will likely get a stable connection for this step.).

Let’s just say it’s a Dell XPS ( for brevity ), get to the SUPPORT page (make sure the URL say https://support.dell.com or dell.com/support/ whatever WITH the LOCK on the right!!!). Now you “may” be able to update the driver properly?

Anyway, what (most likely) happend is once you even visit the site that those kind of “Driver Update Tools” are hosted on, its most often already too late. AD blockers help some, but, Once that program is installed, you days gone... may as well make another pot of coffee and start scanning.

What they do (most often) “under the hood” so to speak, is to modify every possible support option that you may have had before. DELL support page may look IDENTICAL (again for brevity, and yet NOT so much)! My web guys couldn’t tell it was faked (most likely the actual page, or local dump into another hidden directory? There are lots of ways) to complete the illusion. Meanwhile, with every click, the app is downloading more cookies than you could imagine... the purpose is “most often” to make cash for them, and consume resources on your system! It’s almost literally free for them to do this, they don’t need to purchase a thousand computers, nor do they need to sit and load a web
Page 4 Trillion times to make $27!

...and don’t think for a second that your Network just died. If you see real activity lights... that just means something else is using your system. Once this becomes symptomatic, your best option is to rest the works! Because if you let it continue, they “CAN & WILL” make a comfy little nest in every devices EPROM (NIC, Routers, Modems, Smart Devices, Some Switches/Hubs, and yes even store the code in a hidden USB, or EVEN Programmable Keyboards & Mice)... quite literally any place that has enough space to
Store the little bit of ASCII or HEX. Even wedge it into a Windows RestoreFile or Hibernation, even a Windows Memory Dump file once it over loads and BSOD’s...

I digress... just saying many times, ESPECIALLY if you “Suspect” a thing, it’s that thing... whew... I need a break...

Anyway, you’ve found it early, and you know the cause! You can make it better!

Good Luck, Happy Hunting’.

Well that's the thing.. Qualcomm's official website doesn't seem to have the option to "update my drivers"
I checked few more times and there was only a link that provided me with the list of drivers, but it was an un-official website.
Also my laptop is an Acer Aspire V5-591G

if the nic came with the acer laptop, acer should have the driver package for it

Theres nothing wrong with using Driver Booster, even manually updating drivers its possible for something to go wrong

Simply uninstall the driver via add/remove programs or do so via the device manager and reboot to use the standard driver of which Windows Update MAY provide an updated driver, or use the Network Reset option.

Whichever you do, it would be a good idea to have a working driver downloaded before doing so just in case.
