I recently purchased an ASUS K50ID on Newegg, and also attempted to attach this to my Netgear wireless-N through the Atheros AR9285. The connections started up devoid of a hitch, but I became aware to this after a while that the association would arbitrarily cut out for just a second. It was not bad enough to catch my attention at the time of browsing, but when I attempted to make use of Windows Live Messenger, it would sign me out every 3 or 7 minutes, and then told me to sign in once again. It would also say it had to reconnect the network, so it is not a software difficulty with WLM. I have disabled the choice to turn of the wireless card for power saving. I have seemed for manual driver updates, but the official Atheros site is puzzling and from time to time in another language also, and does not come into view to list of my card for drivers, only for other misc. information. I have checkered my router settings, etc, and it appears to be fine. It is just that blasted Atheros AR9285 and its reluctance to stay linked! Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.
