Question wifi card ar9285 not working on windows 10 home

[okppko]

windows 10 home
ar9285

It says no connection to device. Is there a driver or other
file I can install?
Thank you.

have you tried to update its driver via device manager?

It has drivers on windows update so it should find them - https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=AR9285

network and internet ->
status -> view your network properties
In the list it says
ar9285 wireless network adapter
Isn't that the name of the build in
wifi card?

network and internet -> status ->
change adapter options
No wifi card displays. Only an ethernet connection displays.
Shouldn't the wifi card be displayed?
A wifi card does also not display at
device manager ->
network adapters

Is there a command to search
for a wifi card?

is this a laptop or desktop?

I thought it was a wifi card, not on a motherboard?

can you give me more information about what you have?

Is this the Lenovo T400?

Since tis not officially supported to work with win 10, there aren't any lenovo drivers for it. This might have been the win 7 driver but it won't work on win 10 - https://support.lenovo.com/us/it/do...apter-ii-for-windows-7-32-bit-64-bit-thinkpad

Having said that, i am pretty sure it should still show in device manager, even if its the bottom as an unknown device. You could try clicking View/Show hidden devices

is this a laptop

It is a msi x360.
I have not managed to disassemble
the computer in order to get to
know which wifi card it has.

It lists
ar9285 wireless network adapter.
Device status. General. Not connected code 45. Driver.
Says 1/29/16. Version 3.0.2.202.
Running update driver returns message, newest
driver is already installed.

According to your link
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=AR9285
there is a driver version
7/18/16 version 10.0.0.344.
Downloading the cab file and extracting
it displays 4 files.
athw10.cat athw10.inf athw10.pdb athw10.sys
Is the athw10.sys file the one to install in
divice manager -> ar9285 properties ->
driver -> update driver ->
browse computer for driver software?
