I have a Windows 10 Home edition build version 1607 on my laptop ASUS X751L with installed driver for Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter driver. Quite frequently the Wifi turns down for no remarkable reason for that and it’s not a provider’s fault for sure. Does anyone else experience similar issue ? How did you solve this ?
