So after doing some digging, I found out that for Win 10 you have to be using Driver v2.1.0.26 which was released in 2016. Located the driver on this website:

1) Download driver, save it onto desktop for easy access
2) Start 'Device Manager'
3) Click 'Network Adapters'
4) Right Click 'Qualcomm Atheros AR 8161...'
5) 'Update Driver'

7) Click 'Let me pick from a list...'
8) Click 'Have Disk'
9) Click 'Browse'

10) Locate & Select the files that have been downloaded (if its saved onto your desktop, you should be able to scroll down to see that there's a file called 'netl1c63x64' setup file (I'm running 64bit btw)).
10) Update the driver and mine worked instantly!! Took me few hours of trial and error with various drivers... Hope this helps!
