Accidentally changed wifi band setting, the wireless doesn't work anymore

Hello

So, we just installed a new router and everything was fine.  I had the idea in my head to change the band from 2.4 to 5, then find that my wireless adapter does not support 5.  Thus, the wifi does not work (even if it recognizes the my network shows 4-5 bar signal).  Normally, I would go back and change the setting, but I can't find it anywhere.

I tried a system restore, but also by browsing my Advanced settings on the card itself, which doesn't seem to have something out there on the change of the band.

The network adapter is a intel centrio (r) Wireless - N 2230.

Intel website was completely useless, and their tech support does not meet the phone on weekends.  I'm 99% sure that changing this setting will fix the problem, but I can't.  Help, please!

This can help

  • G780 wireless doesn't work anymore; the networks are but cannot connect

    I have a G780 bought earlier this year. It came with Windows 8, which I still use. Everything was working fine until today. All of a sudden I can't connect to my wireless network (I have a router that can have a 'network of comments' in addition to normal and I can not connect to one of these). I had been fiddling with the settings last night, but everything was working well. I can connect with other devices, so I know that the networks work.

    Networks appear in the list of available networks, but every time I try and connect it just doesn't work. To make sure that I wasn't just typing the wrong passwords I tried to disable all security on one of the networks (so it was a totally open network without password), and the laptop still unable to connect. I tried to reboot the router wireless, by restarting the computer, update the driver for the wireless card, uninstall the drivers and reinstall them, activation and deactivation of the wireless card, by unchecking the option to disable card wireless to save energy and last computer ditch effort that I even did this "Refresh" of Windows 8 option that uninstalls all programs you install and resets the default options. Which included also to uninstall my antivirus program, so I tried to connect without that too. Nothing has made any difference.

    Edited to add that I also downloaded and ran the diagnostic tool on the Lenovo site for my laptop and the version of Windows for wireless network problems and it did not show anything.

    I'd appreciate really no indication as to what to do next. I'm good enough at the end of my mind with this.

    It's the weirdest thing ever. I decided to give it a try once again just for the heck of it and like magic it works all of a sudden. I can now connect to two networks very well. I have nothing after my last try yesterday evening except put the computer into hibernation... I don't know how it works now, but I appreciate the help! I'll create a restore right now, just in case. Thanks for your replies!

  • Satellite P10, internal keyboard: the key of the pipe doesn't work anymore

    Hello everyone!

    I have a Satellite P10 with WinXP (SP1) for about 1 year.
    Symptoms: it's the internal keyboard. I used the key pipe <|>indeed, not every day, but it worked. And suddenly, I see that it does no more: it is 'dead', while all other keys work correctly...

    My next steps:
    (1) I uninstalled the driver of standard keyboard (101/102 keys) or Microsoft Natural Keyboard (PS/2) keyboard, and were found after Windows starts. There is no material conflict under the Device Manager or the information system, the driver runs correctly...

    (2) the keyboard layout is German. But I have already tested the English (United States) too: the result is the same.

    Questions:
    (1) is the key physically damaged?
    (2) otherwise, what I can do to solve the problem? Where can I get a newer driver perhaps?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    As far as I know that it is not necessary to install a driver for keyboard. The driver is built into the OS. If the button is dead and doesn't work at all, it is probably defective.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro 6100: no LED at all, the machine doesn't work anymore

    Hi all
    I have two nb, a 6000 and a 6100. Never had any probs with the 6000, but my 6100 gives me a real hard time:
    The battery has been fully charged, when out of nowhere, it froze... had no chance, but power button money to stop, something cut, two green LEDs (which is normal, right?)
    Down the silver power button to restart, nothing.
    Plugged the AC supply (because the battery is fully charged, see above...): all of THE lights is empty, no lights at all.
    Pressing the new button, NO RESPONSE AT ALL, it totally DEAD!

    What could have caused this? What can I do? any help appreciated, thanks.

    very desperate, lionmouth

    Hello

    It seems that there is a hardware error that couldn t be repaired by a biosupdate or something. You will need to bring your machine to a partner of service approved for repair/hardwarecheckup. One of my friends had a similar problem with its 6100 with exactly the same symptoms and his "mother" was defective. But at this time the machine was still in warranty so I Don t know how´s with your mobile phone.

    See you soon

  • Why the rejection of multiple photos doesn't work anymore when you change pictures?

    Why the rejection of multiple photos doesn't work anymore when you change pictures? Does anyone else have this problem? It works on my other Mac but just stop working on my computer laptop pro, I have the latest OS and it worked until a few weeks ago. Thanks for any help!

    Selection of several photos at once enter "9" to reject all still works them for me in Aperture 3.6 on El Capitan.

    Have you tested, if the problem occurs only in an Aperture library or libraries opening?

    Create a new Aperture library to test and see rejection, so it works.

    If it does not work in a new library either, I got trash Aperture preferences.

    In preferences file is now in the container folder in the user's library.

    Try this:

    • Leave the opening runs.
    • Then open your user library and delete the folder complete ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Aperture/
    • and the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist file

    Your user library can still be hidden. To reveal the hidden user library:

    • Bring the Finder to the front by clicking on the desktop or the Finder icon in the Dock.
    • Select your folder user/home (with the House icon in the side bar of the Finder)
    • With this window in the Finder in the front window, press the ⌘J key combination to bring up the display options.
    • In the view options panel allow you to "show the library folder. That will make your visible user library folder in your folder.
    • Open your folder, then the library folder, then the containers.
    • Move the entire folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Aperture on your desktop. Move the entire folder, not just the content.
    • Delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist as well.

    Now, restart the Mac, start Aperture and try see your book.  If all goes well, delete the folder on the desktop.

  • Re: Unable to get the wireless adapter to work on my Satellite L550-1CC

    I'm getting bored with this laptop, I reinstalled windows 7 (32 bit) and can not get the wireless adapter to work.

    My router settings are perfect, my netbook is zero connection problems - the router is just inches away from the laptop most of the time - the laptop insists that there is "no available networks."

    This of course is BS, before I reinstalled windows I could pick up 3 other neighbouring networks as well as mine.

    Windows automatically installed the wireless network - I thought that could be the problem, so I downloaded the realtek driver directly.

    No difference. Always the small icon with Red Cross barred through it.

    I thought it could have been a hot key problem - so I installed the flash card driver that apparently controls the access keys (for some reason any).

    Shortcut keys still don't work - I could really care about that - it's just the wireless network I need.

    Thanks for any help I receive.

    > my netbook has zero connection problems - the router is just inches away from the laptop most of the time - yet the laptop insists there is "no available networks."
    After reading this sentence, I'm a bit confused. If there is no available WLAN networks how your laptop had zero problems to connect?

    One last thing:
    > Of course is BS, before I reinstalled windows I could pick up 3 other neighbouring networks as well as mine.
    What is the difference between the old and the new installation of Windows?

    In general the WLAN use is fairly simple.
    Wireless network card - must be installed correctly (listed in Device Manager
    WLAN card - must be enabled using FN + F8 key combination to activate the wireless network card
    -scan the available WLAN networks area, click on the button of your WLAN and use connect
    -put key WLAN if necessary and after a few seconds WLAN connection will work

    I did this many times on laptops preinstalled Win7 and didn't have any problems. On all laptop computers pre-installed with Toshiba recovery image (factory settings) is not necessary to change the WLAN settings.

  • Canon scan to folder (Server 2008 R2) from the latest Windows Updates (13 sep 2012) it doesn't work anymore...

    We have a few Multi functional Cannon, who were able to scan to folder to our file server 2008 R2 server.

    Since the latest Windows Updates (13 sep 2012) it doesn't work anymore...

    Nothing has changed for folders or shares. Actions are like:

    \\fs01\scans\IT

    Shared folder is \\fs01\scans

    Share permissions are full for everyone

    On the COMPUTER folder, only the service and the Canon scanner user have full conrol...

    When I turn off the firewall of Windows on the FS01, it works.

    Can I get a SMB = OK on the Multi functional.

    When I turn on the WIndows firewall, I get a SMB = NG on the multifuntional

    I checked the rules and everthing about file and printer sharing is allowed...

    Can someone please think about what to do?
    Because really don't want to go with Windows Firewall disabled.

    The Endpoint Protection 2010 Anti Virus is installed on the FS01, but given that disabling the Windows Firewall works, I don't think that the Anti Virus has nothing to do with it.

    Update: I tried two other servers 2008 R2 (with also the Windows Firewall on) and it works! So there's something wrong with this one server... But as far as I can see, the firewall has all the file and open sharing of printers of things... And when I connect with the Canon Scan on a PC user I can browse places very well.

  • the Wacom tablet pressure sensitivity doesn't work anymore

    I have a Tablet Wacom Intuos 3, photoshop CS6 and Windows 7.  I have no idea why, but my Tablet pressure sensitivity doesn't work anymore.  I did a google search to see if others had the same problem on a forum (I can't remember where) I found a solution that seems to have worked for many, so I tried which...  Basically, it says to uninstall my wacom driver, unplug the Tablet, reboot, install driver, plug the Tablet and reset my preferences in photoshop.  I did it last night and it worked, I was very happy, but it was late, was exhausted, so I turned off my computer and went to bed.  When I have it turned on and is gone in photoshop this morning, it does more, pressure sensitivity is gone again.  I get this warning in my brush settings when I try to put it on pen pressure, angle or another setting requiring sensitivity to pressure, but it does not tell me how to fix it.  Is the only way I can make the process work I mentionned (pilot program is uninstalled, disconnect the Tablet, reboot etc.) but I would need to do whenever I have shut down my computer and it's a bit of a pain...  I have also tried installing different drivers, the last being first of all, when this does not work I tried older to see if that would make a difference without success...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  I'm starting to feel a little desperate...

    I read your post and found nothing which contradicts my statements.  But we looked at these questions several times - and this kind of problem is due to the driver or hardware.

    Yes, if you do not know the code or API involved, you may jump to the wrong conclusions.

    But I know what all is involved (and the fact that Adobe applications share not compressed code) and have sat and debugged these questions several times that I can remember.

    Please follow with Wacom to determine the problem with your drivers or tablet.

  • CTRL + SHIFT + T doesn't work anymore, I tried it on Windows and Ubuntu. The other shortcuts work fine.

    CTRL + SHIFT + T doesn't work anymore, I tried it on Windows and Ubuntu. If I go to history > recently closed tabs and click on something, it works, it's just the keyboard shortcut that broke. The other tabs keys work fine.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

    When you click on the download link on GetFirefox.com, you should be asked if you want to run or save the file. If this situation occurs when you try to run the download, try instead to record and put the file on your desktop or in a similar place, where you are certain that you can find.

    When the download is complete, try double-clicking on the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from the desktop). This should start the installation.

    If, in the Explorer window, you notice that the file seems to be missing the Firefox icon orange/blue, right click the file and select Properties.

  • Qosmio F20: Featured work Touchpad scroll doesn't work anymore

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio F20 and only had it for less than a year, I've always used the touchpad and the quick launch feature, never changed anything in the settings of the touchpad, or major changes in the operating system, I have a problem now!

    the scroll function working keys doesn't work anymore, you know how the right side is scrolling up and down and low to the left/right scrolling, now it doesn't work... my brother was using my computer and he has installed a bluetooth, infrared driver program, he used a mouse USB and install Nokia PC suite.
    NOW what should I do? HEEELP!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Brother have installed you a large number of applications and also a USB mouse.
    Who knows what it changed on your laptop.

    If the pad touch scroll function does not work so I guess that the settings have been changed.
    In your case, I recommend to check the touchpad settings.
    You should find your mouse over settings in the control panel.

    As far as I know, you can find these settings in the Toshiba touch and launch.
