Network connection stops randomly

Hi everyone, it's about 2 weeks that i have an issue with my network connection on arch linux. First, the connection is very slow compared of the connection used in Windows, second, it stops randomly.

Giving the command lspci -v, my network card is:

        Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
        Subsystem: AzureWave Device 2130
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 19
        Memory at f7800000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512K]
        Expansion ROM at f7880000 [disabled] [size=64K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: ath9k
        Kernel modules: ath9k

while my kernel is 4.1.6-1-ARCH. 

In the end, i can say that this disconnecting depends on the kind of connection, because at home where my connection is strong, it doesn't disconnect, but in my friend's house, it disconnect. In both cases the network card doesn't seem to take all the signal, while Windows does.

Can someone help me please? Thank you

Re: Network connection stops randomly

Thank you for the reply As writtern in the wiki, i had to change the config file, but it wasn't in that directory. So i've added the file and put the line. Is it the same?
