Wifi adapter problems after replacing new SSD.

Hey,

I'm running a Microsoft Windows 10 Pro on Acer Aspire VN7-791G. It's not a new machine so I decided to boost it up a bit by replacing old WD10JPVX HDD into new Samsung 860 EVO SSD. I got 2 of them. Migrated OS to the one and did a clean install to the other(for a second machine). Everything was running smoothly after the migration and replacement of the SSD, except the WIFI signal keeps dropping. It connects and disconnects either immediately or after few seconds . It seems That the network adapter "Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network Adapter" doesn't function together with the new SSD and I cant figure out why? I redid the migration, thinking that the problem was caused by it, but to no effect. Installed the other SSD with clean windows. Same issue. But if I connect the old HDD, the issue disappears it connects to the internet and everything runs smoothly just slowly.

I tried addressing the network adapter by running Network troubleshooter.

Updated drivers, rolled them back, downloaded 15 different generations of drivers from the manufacturers website and installed them manually.

Uninstalled the device and took it out of the machine fiscally, then reinstalled it.

Ran flushing, renewing, scanning commands on command prompt. None of them found any issue with the device.

Turned on and restarted services in services.msc.

Did all the tinkering in the device / properties IPv4, 6. Manual IP. Changed the values in configure / advanced.

The only evidence that the device isn't running properly I found in the event viewer with several errors, warnings and information messages.

I may have tried other solutions that I found online, just don't remember them all. I've been sitting on this problem for a while now.


Any new ideas will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
