Great for driving around and finding hot spots when traveling. Pulls in 3-4 times more than my standard USB wifi device.

I have a fairly new HP laptop computer, 1 year old, came with windows 8, I upgraded to 8.1. WiFi is so weak I it kicks me off the internet frequently. The laptop is far away from the router and I have bought an expander to help. But my windows 7 computer has no issues, only the 8.1. Would it help to replace the network adapter? I see many people complaining about this issue. How do I fix it and why hasn't HP done something about it? the adapter is Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 series. I tried a USB linksys adapter, didn't help. what is the most recent driver for this card?
