My laptop is an Asus X550L running on Windows 10. The WiFi driver is Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter.
The WiFi is periodically disconnecting from the eduroam network of my university. This does not seem to happen when I am home. Once it is disconnected, I cannot re-connect and I need to restart the laptop completely so it is back on. When it is in this "post-disconnection state", I cannot connect to any other WiFi either (I've tried tethering from my Android phone multiple times, it displays the network name, but fails to connect).
I had similar issues with my laptop before (including with my home WiFi), but it seemed solved when I updated the driver with Snappy Driver Installer ("Update Driver Software..." from Device Manager was returning "The best driver software for your device is already installed").
Any insights?
I am currently looking at whether the disconnection always happens after a specific amount of time, but it does not feel like that...
