    I have had exactly the same today, Christmas Day, but with a Presario CQ61. Have you managed to get it solved yet and if so how ! Thanks, Roger C

    Hi


    Not come across a CQ31 but the CQ61 Windows 7 drivers are HERE (just need to choose if you have 32 or 64bit Windows 7) This driver may be newer than the original one on the PC as its from this month and does by all accounts fix a WiFI AP issue.

    Also what Security application and Firewall are on the PC, are you using the one that came with the PC or installed a new one? do mention apps used in both scenarios, as it could be a firewall issue or if a new set of security apps are installed an issue with the original app not being fully uninstalled.

    Windows 7 has native drivers for the Atheros AR9285.

    However if these drivers give you trouble download the Drivers package that is on HO support site and run the setup.
