    I hvae a Sony VAIO VPCL114FD All-In-One computer that I just upgraded to Windows 10 from Win 7. It has an Atheros AR928x WiFi card, with driver 10.0.0.329 installed. It worked fine with 7, but since I upgraded the OS, I'm now getting "Connected, No Internet". I've narrowed down the issue, but cant seem to get it resolved. I'm running a Linksys EA4500 dual band router, with the channel width set to AUTO. When I go into the router setup page, and switch it from AUTO to 20 MHz, it resolves the problem. But, I don't want to run my network at 20 MHz, so I obviously want to get the card to recognize higher channel widths. When I go into the adapter properties, there is nothing available to do this (that I can find). I'm pretty sure I have the most recent drivers, so is it possible this card won't work with anything higher than 20 MHz with Win 10?

    When I visit the Atheros driver page, I see there are no Windows 10 drivers for the AR928x. And I note the latest drivers listed are 10.0.0.326 (not 329) for Windows 8. I would suggest you try them but if still no good, you could try contacting Atheros, or just byte the bullet and buy a new card. That one is pretty old after all.

    I'll give it a shot, do you have a link for the site you got them from? Also, I would just change the card, but I believe it's integrated into the motherboard, as I only have access panels for the RAM and the HDD.

    Hmmm, I thought I included the link. Sorry.

    This is where I saw it, but not I see it says that is an "Unofficial" drivers website. I have no reason to believe it is malicious but I would still scan any download before opening the zip file.

    Tried the driver, still the same issue though. The reason the version number didn't match up is because I was using the AR9285 driver (the Sony website lists it as AR928X/AR9285, so I gave it a shot).
