Having trouble with wireless drivers

[Starzy]

I recently updated my drivers because my wifi kept dropping out, and because of this everytime I try and download a windows update or a driver update I BSoD.

I'm running windows 8.1 and my Wireless driver is Qualcomm Atheros AR9002WB-1NG Wireless Network Adapter.
I'm using Ethernet currently but I can't use it all the time. I also occasionally BSoD if I am just normally using Wifi, this is really irritating.

If anyone can suggest a fix or anything else that'll be good. It might also be because I installed some optional updates recently.


Things I have tried
- Uninstalling and restarting x 2
- Updating drivers (BSoD + rollback is greyed out)
- Downloading windows updates (Currently downloading updates not related to wifi)

I have looked at this link and there is a compatibility update I downloaded the update but I don't know what to do now.


The BSOD error says something_thread_exception (athwbx.sys)

This may or may not be a problem.

I just said forget it and reset to factory default, then I updated drivers and now it works. forget installing optional updates.
