15 M - switch Radio wireless

Hey guys

I'm having some trouble with my ThinkPad Edge 15. I just reinstalled a clean version of Windows 7 Pro, without all the lenovo 'tools '. (Maybe that's the problem..?). Everything seems ok so far - apart from the wireless connection:

I tried to connect to my network wireless via the Windows network and sharing Center. "Not connected". I ran troubleshooting: "turn on wireless capability: use the switch on the front or side of the computer...» »

There is no switch. It is enabled in the BIOS, however.

Then I installed the WiFiPRO Intel whatever - manager: "wireless disabled. "Please enable wireless radio switch" there is no switch. OK, so I uninstalled the wireless Intel again Manager.

Next attempt: the ThinkVantage Access Connections tool. 'Enable the wireless switch '. Phew.

The only key/switch/whatever that seems remotely related to Wireless is the F9 key with the small antenna on it. Pressing it has no effect. So I installed the Lenovo Hotkey thingy. By pressing F9 now translates into a pop up: "Please enable wireless radio switch.

I'm running out of ideas here. Anyone help?

  • Control switch radio wireless (Fn + F5) via the Windows registry / software

    In a school environment, students have discovered that they can cause problems using the software switch Fn + F5 to turn off the Wifi radio. I know that the material LED turns off when this happens, but the teachers are too busy to identify it. The result is that users are unable to connect, and the Windows Welcome screen is not quite intuitive, which gives a message error "there currently no server connection.

    I am interested in applying a "fix" to this problem at startup. Maybe a fix Windows registry to "force" the Lenovo software switch to turn on the Wifi.

    I had a bag autour with a comparison of registry Interstate market and am currently getting the following (among other changes, such as DHCP etc.) diff:

    HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\ {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} \0018\RadioEnable: 0x00000000

    However, forcing these dwords to 0 x 1 doesn't seem to be enough to turn on the radio.

    Has anyone else had a similar experience? Is there a BIOS/UEFI underlying setting that might be able to be accessed via the software?

    When you use the Fn + F5 to open the app to wireless radios, and then disable you only the wireless radio (alt - R) the display of the wireless radio (bottom of the screen) does not turn off. I know on my W500 for this. Is this a software bug?

  • WRT54GL-Set up as a switch, but Wireless does not

    I have a verizon ActionTec bridge set as 192.168.1.1. Unfortunately, I can not connect to it... has tried all combinations of username/password.

    I have setup my WRT54GL as a switch... .and it worked to support wireless for a short period of time.

    However, now, the option wireless, turned on, does not work.

    I think the problem is in the SETUP, I put automatic configuration - DHCP.

    Should only be on static IP with a value of 192.168.1.1?

    I really want a WiFi only temporarily to talk to my HP wireless printer only (don't get started me!).

    Most of the time, I want the wired ethernet connection--which works very well.
    If I want to turn on wireless, then off.

    OK, I thought about it. It was change WEP, but also the fact that I have to click the TrendNet wireless setup utility, when I want to go wireless.

    Wow, what hassle switching between wired and wireless!

    Hello

    ·         If it works much earlier?

    Through my research, I think it's the F1 key, you need to press on and press and hold the FN key (lower-left beside Ctrl) at the same time. This should illuminate the LED on the front of the computer laptop-extreme right wireless.

    You can view the documentation for the laptop to switch wireless for more information.

    For any other help, I suggest you to contact your laptop manufacturer support.

  • Should switch BEFSR81 - wireless access point I use?

    Hello

    I have a cable modem connected to a Linksys BEFSR81 switch under the stairs. It distributes points of LAN cable to every room of the House - it worked perfectly for years and continues to do so.

    I need to add wireless (for iPhones etc.). I connected a Netgear WPNT834 DSL wireless router in a LAN points. It broadcasts a SSID I can 'see' on my iPhone - I can connect to it, but cannot access the Internet.

    Looking good, I found the two devices by default the IP 192.168.1.1, so I changed the IP address on the BEFSR81 on 192.168.1.2. Still no access to the Internet via the wireless Netgear.

    I guess that there is a relationship between the two devices share the bandwidth, but I'm at a loss to know where to start.

    These two devices are not compatible, or is there a way to their cascade work together? Or, is it a point of access wireless (linksys or cheaper universal device) that I can plug into one of the LAN edge to add a wireless network to the existing local network?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Mikey'it,

    The Netgear and Linksys are compatible when you want to set up this way. You must configure the Netgear router to a wireless switch. As disable the "router" function and DHCP. You must ask the Netgear support how to do it. Because the Linksys router works perfectly, you need to change anything.

  • Unable to connect to the internet due to lack of radio wireless button

    I'm using a Thinkpad Edge 11 and I just updated the BIOS utility (don't know even why I did it in the first place) using this link: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014926#version

    I checked the BIOs version and it corresponds to my laptop (86ET31WW (1.15))

    But now I can't connect to the internet. I tried troubleshooting my wireless connections and he told me to go on my "wireless capability" on my laptop. I guess that it is a switch that can turn my wireless on and outside, but the model of laptop I don't have all this button.

    I installed the program of dial-up connections, but it also tells me to go on a button on my laptop.

    I already checked my BIOS Setup and the Wireless Watch activated it.

    I feel like I could have downloaded the wrong BIOS update, but I don't know how to uninstall or cancel it. Could anyone refer me to another update of the BIOS I should use please? or any other method, so I can turn on my internet connection? I am very inexperienced with computers... any help would be appreciated.

  • How to activate windows Filter Manager norton (error message3039 65553) how to fix the driver to switch the wireless adapter

    Error message from Norton 3039 65553 filter manager not lit

    Disconnected Error Message wireless adapter

    IMO, this kind of response is yet another reason to remove all Symantec software 'security' of your computer.

    As far as I know, Microsoft Windows Filter Manager is software that is designed to be used by third-party developers (it is in this case Symantec) for simply integrating their software in Windows.  It is not controlled by the user.

    That said, it is possible (no guarantee) If you provide information in Event Viewer that relates to the crib of filter, someone here may be able to help.

    • Open the event viewer (start > run > eventvwr > OK)
    • Look in the Application logs and system warnings and errors
    • Double-click a warning or an error of knowledge (properties)
    • If the Filter Manager produces an error, it will probably be in the system log
    • When (if) you find an entry that relates to the Manager of Windows filters, click on the "copy" icon in the properties of the page (just below the up/down arrows) and paste the information into your answer here "

    But you should consider seriously really get Norton Removal Tool and Norton replacement with something else.

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good free antivirus solution and eSet NOD32 Antivirus is a good business idea.
