Question Laptop will not connect to Wifi

[TheWalkingDazz]

It's a Asus X401A1
Intel celeron b830 1.80ghz
4gb ram.

Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 is my wireless network adapter.

Tried reinstalling the network drive. Uninstalling. Disabling.

Upgraded my Laptop from Windows 8 to 10.

Tried Network reset

It'll occasionally come up with 1 bar hidden network. I'll type in my stuff and then it'll say cannot connect to this network. And sometimes when I click the WiFi Icon with the star it'll briefly say my NowTV WiFi network before flashing off and going back to 1 bar hidden network.
Even right next to the actual router.
And help is such appreciated

And it does work completely fine with ethernet cable.

Did you try rebooting the modem/router?

Yes it's been like this for a long time. Doesn't work on my Gfs or my phone's hotspot

Then it sounds like the WiFi on the laptop may be going bad. That leaves you the option of using Ethernet only, replacing the internal card, or getting yourself an external one that connects via USB.

I was looking on Amazon for something like this..
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0797MVMM8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vAIzCbM7QA8D9

Would this fix my issue?
ive just tried my phone hotspot again and it worked fine. So is it risking getting that from Amazon?

Have you tried tweakng the B ,G, N settings in the wireless Properties in Device Manager?
