SOLVED No working wireless connection

[VnDE77A]

Hi, tech noob here,
https://www.windows10forums.com/threads/no-ethernet-drivers.259/
I found this thread and I'm in exactly the same boat as the OP of the thread (Besides running a different MoBo) and whilst I've tried to follow it I can't find the drivers Im after [incompetence] and I dont know what I'd need to do after I had extracted them to my desktop.
Any help on this topic, helping me find and install the drivers, would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance

Hello and welcome to the forum. Without knowing anything about the computer, motherboard or network adapter (integrated or add-in) it's difficult to suggest a plan.
Right click the Start Button and choose Device Manager from the context menu.
Expand network adapters, right click the problem wireless adapter and choose properties
Select the details tab change the Device description drop down to Hardware Ids
Right click a line in the "Value" box and choose select all
Right click again and choose copy
Paste that information into your next post
Should look something like this

PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_E0001458&REV_03
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_E0001458
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&CC_0200

Paste that information into your next post.

NOTE: Depending on the hardware and how Windows 10 is attempting to identify it, the problem hardware might be listed under "other" or be shown with an icon indicating a problem in device manager and may not be categorized as a wireless adapter yet.

Some details and specifics regarding your system might also be helpful.

Well, this is from the wireless adapter.
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0030&SUBSYS_3112168C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0030&SUBSYS_3112168C
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0030&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0030&CC_0280

I dont know if this is relevant [ http://prntscr.com/daxl4w ] but il leave it here

I thought you said that it involved the wired adapter??

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0030&SUBSYS_3112168C&REV_01

That's an Atheros AR938x and the driver is here https://www.atheros-drivers.com/qualcomm-atheros-download-drivers-nr-311-with-code-4351.html

IF the problem is with the wired adapter then you need to do the same thing with that instead of the wireless.

Ok great, i now have the option for a 'killer e2200 gigabit ethernet controller'. I assume this is what im after?
I'm getting a code 10 message telling me the device wont start though

Where are you getting that information. It's certainly possible that, that's what you have but with no hardware ID and no motherboard info, I can't help much.
IF it truly is a Killer adapter then http://www.killernetworking.com/support/driver-downloads/category/other-downloads

Dev manager -> http://prntscr.com/db03lc
Properties -> http://prntscr.com/db03qc
I have an MSI 970 Gaming MoBo if that aids you
Sorry if I've been too vague

That's the Windows 10 64bit driver page for your network driver for the Killer adapter (full package and driver only)

That's the Windows 10 32bit driver page for your network driver for the Killer adapter (full package and driver only)
