    When trying to open the killergaming site a not found message appears but when clicking on a link I posted for driver v2. 1.1.38.1281 the driver is downloaded.

    Websitedown.info reports that killergaming.com is down

    Since QualcommAtheros purchased Bigfoot Networks the staff numbers have dwindled and the forum was done away with referring users to twitter for help.

    The last Killer e2200/1103/1102/1202 driver release has the Killer Network Manager but the driver is the generic Atheros 10.0.0.274

    No new AC Killer cards have been announced or released which leads me to believe it's no longer profitable for Qualcomm to develope the Killer wireless products.and Atheros wireless products separately.

    I do wonder what exactly Qualcomm/Atheros got out of the acquisition, though - it doesn't seem like any of Bigfoot's firmware or driver tech was integrated into other Atheros cards.

    Hi,
    I've just reinstalled the ASUS G750JH - I have downloaded the "generic" Atheros Wirelss driver from ASUS - but still no Wi-fi on the laptop.
    Anyone has a link for the Killer Drivers?
    I've tryied the link in this forum but they're outdated and not more working :(

    The Qualcomm Atheros downloads site https://www.qca.qualcomm.com/resources/driverdownloads/ is gone now also just like the previous killer gaming site.

    Clicking on the link returns a "Sorry but this page does not exist"

    You can get the newest WHQL Killer Performance Suite version 1.1.49.1068 from station-drivers

    Qualcomm/Atheros Killer Performance Suite Version 1.1.49.1068

    If you have a Killer N1525 wireless card here's links to the newest WHQL Bluetooth drivers
