AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter has a low signal when in close range of station.

I disabled hardware encryption with putting:
  options ath9k nohwcrypt=1
in
  /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

That doesn't seemed to help.

The signal has 2 bars while it has full strength in windows. (I am 2 meters away from the wifi station)
