However, in order to use all available features of this hardware, you must install the appropriate drivers.Įnabling the wireless card allows systems to read chipset information and manufacturer name, as well as connect to a network without using an Ethernet cable. Windows OSes usually apply a generic driver that allows systems to recognize the wireless component.

Please help, I am really confused about what is happening here.This driver was provided by Qualcomm Atheros Communications Inc. I am not familliar with Linux so I switched to Windows. One other thing is that when I bought the probook it came with Linux SUSE operating system and the signal was again weak. I tried windows tools for troubleshooting network problems but it didn't work and I searched several forums, but I couldn't find solution. I have currently installed these drivers for my WiFi adapter. My question is it possible my 5 years old laptop to have a stronger and better WiFi adapter than the new HP or is it a settings/software issue? If it is the latter, how can I fix it? I tried to read the descriptions of the two adapters online and as far as what I understand the new should be better in any way, but I am not familiar with the terminology, thats why i am starting this thread here. I have put the two computers next to each other and the old one connects with no problems, while the new, if finds the network (somethimes it doesn't show on the list of wireless networks or it shows with fewer bars), almost always gives the "No internet access" message and an occasional exclamation mark on WiFi network icon. The reason why I'm writing about this is that I have another very old (4-5 years old) laptop - Asus with XP SP3 and Atheros 5006EG Wireless network adapter, which connects to this network very easily and with reasonable speeds. In the rare cases when I connect to the network it dissapears a few seconds after I manage to load a page. There is a public wireless network near my home which when I try to connect to I almost always get an "No Internet access" message and no connection. Hello, my machine is HP ProBook 4530s (bought 2 weeks ago) with Atheros AR9285 WiFi adapter.
