Hi Chris,

My wireless driver has been version 10.0.0.217 already though it is updated by live updater.

I will follow your instruction to remove the existing driver first and reinstall the latest one through download.

One more question, if I remove the combo driver, will my bluetooth driver automatically roll back to version 8.0.0000.0206 (older version) or I have to reinstall bluetooth driver again? Is Version 10.0.0.217 a combo driver?

I will get back to report the result.

Many thanks for your advice.

Hi Wong2047

10.0.0.217 is a combo version so will have the updated driver for your bluetooth aswell. Will try and find the version it updates bluetooth for you.

You will need to completely remove the program and possbily go into device manager under >Network Adapaters> wireless and uninstall the wireless driver by going into properties if it is still there when you remove the program.

Hi Chris,

After allowing your instruction to reinstall latest driver, my S7 goes wireless for nearly 6 hours without disconnection.

At last, I got a lovely toy.

Thanks again.

Need to uninstall Bluetooth? I had uninstall wireless and reinstall but still having the limited connectivity issue. I had since roll back to the older driver and not issue with the wireless at all.

1. I removed program/application the name like ""Qualcomm Atheros..bluetooth and wireless...application". (not from Device Manager)

2. Then I check that at device manager there has been no driver for Qualcomm Atheros existed at the network adaptor.  Though certain bluetooth drivers still there.

3. I noted that S7 got a "no wireless connection" icon at the system tray, which means that It cannot go for wireless.

4. I reboot S7 once.

5. Then I install the downloaded driver, the combo driver.

6. I reboot S7 again.

7. Done.

So, I did not deal with any uninstallation of any standalone bluetooth driver.

i followed the exact steps but it  didn't work!

This worked for me too.

Make sure you have a note of any passwords for wireless networks you use because the uninstall of the previous drivers deletes all profiles.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Glad to help.

I was having the same problem even with the latest driver. Enabling IPv6 on my router seems to have fixed it though.
