A WI - FI connection does not work on Satellite C50-A-179

Hi all!

I am owner of laptop Toshiba Satellite A-C50-179 (PSCGAE) with Windows 8, and recently I tried to install Connectify on it.

However, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter was missing on the laptop and given this Connectify couldn't work. I tried to activate/install somehow using advice found on the internet. The suggestion was to reinstall the driver for the wireless adapter.

I uninstalled the driver original and reinstalled again after you download from Toshiba Web site ([here | http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 312 & selProduct = 7934 & selSh ortMod = 3969 & language = 13 & selOS = 40 & selType = 97 & yearup load = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = al lMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = 97 & page = 1 & ID = 86778 & DISO = 40 & driverLanguage = 42])

I'm sure that I downloaded and installed the right driver for the right card that is "Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter". I made prior to installation to verify all the information on the adapter and the driver.

However, after the relocation wifi stopped working completely:

-l' icon/network adapter wireless connection 'Control of the network connections and Internet\Network' is there but it does not behave as it should, it looks like a generic and not specific to a network connection icon - basically, it does not represent the actual adapter and got the name of it in the note;

WiFi - option in Windows 8 settings menu-changes PC network settings has completely disappeared (bluetooth option is still there and so is the flight mode option);

-wifi can be turned on by pressing on activate in the menu of RIGH click that generic network connection I mentioned, but it will not pick up any signal and will find all the same connections so it is certainly.

There is no yellow exclamation point in Device Manager list and the wireless adapter is thus, to act and to pretend as if everything is fine and working properly.

I tried troubleshooting, installing the driver using Windows Update, the installation and update of its properties menu driver in Device Manager and all kinds of things like that, but none of this has helped and wifi still doesn't work.

Basically, the laptop seems to think that the adapter is not working properly and everything is fine HW and SW wise, but in reality it is not. I don't really know what I should try, I don't want to reinstall the entire operating system, because I'm afraid (or I) would mess everything up even more (wasting yet more pilots).

I'm running on a cable internet connection now, and I'm happy it's working (I really need the laptop for work and I can't afford to lose for a day, not to mention some more)

Could someone help me please?
Any ideas how to solve this problem and make the wifi working again?
I will be really grateful for any advice.

Thank you, Miko31.

Problem is that Toshiba does not support the third party software and if the problem occurred after installing Connectify you should contact support and ask for help. I mean they know how their software works and perhaps a workaround solution that can help you.

This software is not known to me, but I can imagine there are now a few conflicts. What should do? It is not easy to say. Try to remove the preinstalled software and clean the registry entries.

In the worst case, you must reinstall OS and reuse for laptop with factory settings.

  • A Wi - Fi connection does not work on Satellite L500D

    Hi all

    I had a problem with my wifi portable computers function. I press fn + f8, and nothing happens at all. The computer does not connect what either, and it is to show a cable ethernet with an X in it down on the bottom right of the desktop. I tried to download drivers for the computer to try to get it working again, and nothing has worked.

    This started all the way back to the factory setting after that I recovered my computer and reinstalled with another disc of Windows 7. I tried to download the 'Toshiba value added package', and has absolutely nothing for me. On a related note, I'm not entirely sure that my fn key is not working properly.

    Literally any help would be appreciated, and I would be more than willing to take all the advice!

    Thank you!

    > This has started all the way back to the factory setting after that I recovered my computer and reinstalled with another disc of Windows 7.
    This sentence confused me completely. Fact is that recovery disk contains recovery image and recovery image contains all the necessary drivers and tools and utilities. In General, with the factory settings, everything should be OK and you should be able to use the WLAN connectivity.

    I put t understand this part with different Windows discs. If you have installed OS using the original disk of Microsoft that you install all the drivers, tools and utilities more.
    These are two different things, so I put t understand the situation now and what state is your preinstalled operating system now.

    Wireless network card is installed correctly? If so then it must be enabled correctly. This can be done with FN + F8. This option works if PPV is installed.

    Before continue us the discussion my advice to you is to reinstall the recovery image and please test with the factory settings. If the problem persists don t change nothing, but after a few comments and we can look forward to help you.

    Hello

    How about the connection to the LAN?
    Have you checked it?

    From my point of view there would be some kind of problem with the WiFi modem/router as the laptop is already connected to the router correctly.
    If in doubt recommend you also contact your ISP (internet service provider).

    My internet point of view, availability of connection must be checked!

  • P850 satellite and a WiFi - internet connection does not work well

    Hello

    My internet connection does not work with a Wi - Fi connection.
    I have laptop Satellite P850-131, which I bought a few months ago and I noticed that over the past two months the internet connection does not work well. When I connect to the computer shows that I am connected Wi - Fi connections, however there is no connection and I can't access the internet.

    I tried to do all the regular search but nothing works. Sometimes the message I get told that there is a problem with the DNS and other times with the IP address. However, with other computers I didn't have any problem at all to connect to the same Wi-Fis.

    All solutions?

    > When I connect to the computer shows that I am connected Wi - Fi connections, however there is no connection and I can't access the internet.

    If such a problem would appear again start the console (window BACK in typing CMS in search)

    The keyboard works to connect. But does not work after that.

    Hello Sml15,

    The embedded screen keyboard should still work even if the physical keyboard isn't.

    Try this first...

    Press and hold the Windows key and the space bar.

    If no joy, go to the search bar and with the built-in keyboard, type the filter keys and choose key filter on or off.

    In the window of the ease of access to the keyboard, disable FilterKeys.

    If all goes well, which will fix the problem.

    Let me know how it turns out.

  • Why my wifi connection does not work correctly?

    I had problems with my computer for a while. The first problem I had was that after I hibernated my computer it would be even not show me internet connections. I discovered that the hibernation of the computer can sometimes cause this problem. A little later that I realized that even when the computer had not been put into hibernation for weeks sometimes started upward with the same problem. He said networks is not available and there is a red cross on a box where my wifi bars should be. I had to reboot my computer up to 5 times to get the bars will appear. When he did not connect to all pilots and equipment I need to connect does not even appear in the control panel. The other times where it worked the drivers were all there. I don't know yet how this can happen. The other computers in my home connect very well and are able to interact with each other at high speed and get internet just fine.

    Recently, I lost any connection even when I rebooted my computer 10 times it doesn't.

    I came across a thread that told me to access prompt as administrator and type in this

    netish int ip reset

    I was able to connect to my network now, but he says no access to the network or Internet. I also tried typing in this...

    ipconfig/flushdns

    now I can access the internet and communicate with other computers. I tried to play Minecraft while my friend was the host through the router, but the connection was so slow that it was as if I was looking at the past in slow motion. I crossed several times and abandoned. The internet is too slow. It's like I'm on dial upward, but it should be high speed, I don't know what the problem is. What else I can watch on my computer to help me solve this problem? Should I restore it to factory settings? Or is something broken?

    Hi Veronica,.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Sorry to hear about the inconvenience caused.

    According to my understanding, you are having trouble with internet connectivity.

    You upgrade windows or what was the first operating system installed on the computer?

    This problem is mainly due to drivers get damaged.

    To rectify the problem, you will need to uninstall the current network using Device Manager drivers and install the latest drivers from the computer manufacturer site.

    Please refer to this sub article, which will guide you to uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager:
