February 3, 2009 at 11:36 pm #160975John Walker MemberI’ve applied the Atheros WIFI upgrade manually to 7.6.1.210. Everything went fine but over the last 24 hours have noticed that Sammy (NC10) loses its WIFI connection. Not something that’s ever happened before. The icon on the taskbar looks like it’s connected, but skype indicates that it’s connecting (which is how I noticed the problem). Switching WIFI off and on again (FN + F9) get’s it working again but wondering if anyone else has experienced this. If it’s just my Sammy then I can live with it. If other people have seen this then I think I’ll roll back the driver February 4, 2009 at 1:37 am #182384Don_Audio MemberI’m running the most recent Atheros Driver and i never experienced any of these problems. Did you only installed the Driver? If yes – good If you installed the whole package including the Atheros Wlan Client it might mess with the Windows Wlan Client / Samsung Network Manager. Run Setup again and make sure that you change the Installation to “Driver only” This will hopefully fix the issue February 4, 2009 at 3:26 am #182381flux76 MemberI have the same problem as the OP. I am looking for the original driver that shipped with the UK version. I never had any of these problems either – WIFI was perfect. Can anyone help ? February 4, 2009 at 4:59 am #182385Don_Audio MemberI guess the Driver from the Samsung Website is the initial release? OP and myself are using the most recent drivers from the Atheros website. You should check the samsung website February 4, 2009 at 10:11 am #182377TCMuffin Member[quote1233742257=John Walker]

 Hi JohnI am running 7.6.1.210 as well and have never had a problem. Are you sure it’s the Sammy that’s causing the connection to drop? Have you tried rebooting your wireless adapter? February 4, 2009 at 1:44 pm #182379tikkalalee MemberI did system restore, to get back my wifi, when that driver took it away. February 4, 2009 at 8:03 pm #182380John Walker MemberThanks for the replies. I got the driver from the Samsung website as Samsung updater was downloading but never installed the driver. I got it from here There was no option for just driver install. It was the whole thing or nothing I’ve bounced the router a few times in the interim just in case that was the cause but no benefits felt yet. Considering that all was working well before I may just rollback the driver (I think I can do that!) February 4, 2009 at 10:10 pm #182382flux76 MemberI tried to find the original driver but its not on the Samsung website. I tried to roll-back the driver, but it would not roll back. Hopefully someone can provide a link to the original driver, I’ve looked but can’t find it.

 Or you can copy the System Software Media CD on a USB stick and load the original driver from this.February 5, 2009 at 4:25 am #182383flux76 MemberThanks to you both, didn’t even consider that. I’ll give that a go tonight. February 11, 2009 at 3:12 pm #182376abandon MemberI read somewhere on this forum that the older drivers are better for connecting to old style routers. Anyone remember where this was mentioned ? Searching for ‘old atheros drivers’ returns hundreds too many hits
