No wifi with N1525 or external netgear A6210

I believe ndiswrapper will be ineffective as I suspect there are no Windows XP driver files available for your device. Let's erase the installation:

sudo ndiswrapper -e netathr7x
sudo rm /etc/ndiswrapper/*

Next, the driver ath10k_pci doesn't appear to load automatically. Please check to see if it is blacklisted:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

If it is listed as blacklisted, remove the listing, proofread, save and close the text editor.

Next, we see that you lack the needed firmware:

ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/board.bin failed with error -2

I suggest that you do:

sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1
cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1
sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-5.bin
sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/board.bin

Reboot. Let us see another paste of dmesg | grep ath10.
