I have a Qualcomm Atheros AR945WB-EG Wireless adapter in my notebook, it was fine in Windows 8.1, It would transfer about 6mb/ps and the general network speed wouldn't slow down when doing so such as browsing and remote desktop. However... with Windows 10 the thing is terrible, If I copy a file through the Wifi adapter to another computer on the network I am getting about 1.5mb/ps and while it's copying the wifi access is slowed to a crawl, I can't even refresh a webpage, and the remote desktop session doesn't move at all until the copy is finished. I tried removing the drivers and letting Windows update install the driver, it brought down version 10.0.0.321 which was newer than what I had. It made no difference at all, I hunted the internet and the latest driver I could find was 10.0.0.115 so I tried that also, no difference, same result. Has anyone else got this network adapter and if so can they try replicate my results It does work fine with small tasks such as web browsing and downloading files off internet and remote desktop is fine, its just when you copy files through the network (maxing out the card) that you notice the problems.
I would use an WiFi Tracing tool and check out the used Channels in your area first and than, after done that, move your WiFi Channel to one which isn't used. If to many connections going of the same channel, everything will slows down. Also check all of your Network Settings incl. Firewall Settings!
On the same machine with Windows 8.1 I get full working speed, no issues at all, I swap the hard drive over to the hard drive with Windows 10, slow again. It's not Wifi interference, I'm the only wifi in the area, I live on quote a large property so my neighbours are far away. All other computers are working fine.
I forgot to mention, the new drivers you gave me the link to are the same ones Windows 10's Windows update put on, unfortunately they didn't solve it. They did stop it from dropping out, but they haven't fixed the speed issues.
probably not a driver issue, i have atheros and am using 10.0.0.318 and still get my max which is 120Mbit at all times. hmmm..i take that back, something happened in the last day and I am getting half of that right now..hopefully it's a fluke. it was a fluke, i reset the adapter and it is back to 120.
Did you check on atheros.cz? It's the best site for the latest Atheros drivers That being side, you need to check for signal interference... download InSSIDer (use 1.2.8.0331 or 2.1.6.1394) and do a scan...
hmm it seems fixed by deleting the drivers and reinstalling from windows update while plugged into an ethernet cable.
