I have been looking through my services and noticed a service called "AtherosSvc" which has no description. It struck me as odd, as it is one of 10 services with no description, however all the others I know exactly what they are and what they do from their name. I did a quick google search and found that some sites called it a trojan, others said it was safe, and yet others said it was required for windows to function properly.

My research indicates that it is a Bluetooth driver for motherboards with built-in Bluetooth. However, most sites indicate that it should be found at %ProgramFiles%\Bluetooth Suite\adminservice.exe. The fact that yours is in C:\Windows\System32 might mean that it is not a legitimate version.

My pc has a lot of trouble staying connected to my home internet. I dont think it is a problem with the router or modem itself because nothing else seems to show problems except my pc. I belive that it is my adapter, but im not sure. Ive tried resetting and reinstalling my adapter (qualcomm atheros QCA61x4A) and checking updates for my driver but none of those have improved anything. I also notice that when I go to information for my adapter it says that the device PCI requires further installation. I dont quite know what to do about that. I know this is vague but if anyone has anything they would like to add, anything is helpful at this point.

You've noticed in the adapter information that "device PCI requires further installation." This usually means there is a problem with the driver. You should try to reinstall or update the driver for the adapter.

Use "Device Manager" to locate the "Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A" adapter under "Network Adapters" and uninstall it. Then click "scan for hardware changes" or restart your computer, and Windows will automatically reinstall the driver.
