Atheros ar9285 connectivity issues

[Manaphy180]

Hi,

I just resonantly I bough a brand new Desktop that came with a Atheros ar9285 internet USB chip and I'm unable to connect to my Hitron Technologies Modem (model CGN2-ROG). I've tried almost everything already to connect to my modem but its all failed. Any suggestions to fix this problem? I'm not good with hard computer lingo, so keep it simple please! I need help ASAP

Thanks,
Nick

Have you tried to see if there's any updates for the driver?

Yes, I've tried one driver but it has been unable to work, do you know what verison of drivers would be compatible with my modem?

Thanks for answering,
Nick

there is a list of drivers here (note this is for wireless), dated 11/08/12 and is in the ARxxx section second from the bottom (thanks dwarf!)

not sure about the compatability with your modem, i would have thought it would work regardless of an updated driver

Thanks boohbah, I'll try them once I get home, and I'll tell you how it goes

From what I've read about the Hitron Technologies Modem, the reliability and compatibility is not so good.

If your ISP has other options for a modem/router you might want to consider trying another one.

Yep, you are defiantly right about that, I may end up buying a new one like you suggested unless Im able to fix it tonight

Was this a prebuilt computer that you bought? If so what is the model number and brand?

Hi, guys. Thanks for your hrlp and I managed to fix my problem by adding on a Asus motherboard wifi attachment to connect to the internet. Thanks alot, Nick

A site for all Atheros drivers.

I found this site with a lot of searching. When you get to the page make a choice under "BROWSE TECHNOLOGY" on the right-hand side. A list of drivers will appear.

I hope this helps someone.
