Atheros 5007 won't stay connected to the Netgear WNR3500 router internal wireless

I just bought a new laptop Compaq CQ60-420us (nw156ua) a week ago. Machine comes with Vista Home Premium and I installed Win7 rc1 64 on another partition.

Initially I could not it remains connected to my router for more than 15 minutes approximately. I just press the wireless button to turn it off and turn it back on. Who would fix it for about 15 minutes.

I called HP support, they tried many things including for me to do a factory restore.  They finally decide to send me a new wireless card. I received the new card yesterday, had it installed and it is essential to do the same thing. Last night, I dug an older linksys wireless router that I have used in the past. Hooked upward and the laptop stays connected to her very well. I had the wpa security enabled on the linksys routers both netgear.

Then, I went to the netgear router and disabled security. It is very well connected. Not sure if wep security will allow him to work. I refuse to use just the wep security. It is easily hackable. And of course I will not let it be secure.

So it seems to be a compatibility issue between my router netgear wrn3500 and the atheros 5007 wireless card security. The router has the latest version of the installed software package.

I guess I'll call HP tonight and see if they can send me a different brand/model wireless card. All my other wireless devices work fine with this netgear router. I don't want to get rid of the cause of netgear, this is a gigabit & Wireless N router.

Does anyone know of any other mini pci express card that works with my laptop? I would get a card N. I thought maybe the intel wifi link 5100 card. Not sure if those who are compatible with HP or not.

Thank you!

When I called HP back support, they were completely useless. Everything I tried to ask them is if they could just give me a list of wireless pci-express cards that would be compatible with my laptop. They did not understand my problem and could not give me a list. I wanted to the list because I read several times that HP has a 'white list' cards that will work with their motherboards. If you put a card that isn't on the list you will receive a message to remove the card from the bios when you turn on the machine. I checked this by testing the intel 5100 card on my laptop and it gave me this message.

Oh btw, it's MUCH safer these days to update the bios of your computer, it was many years ago. I do all the time and have never had a 'brick' on me. Even safer on a laptop with a battery in good condition. In fact I recommend it as part of your troubleshooting process. That will not fix the problem tho atheros wireless.

However, in the end, I was able to operate pretty well no thanks to HP!

I had to buy another card Atheros tho. It was the 5009 Atheros. And it's a card N I so was able to get with my router N 300mbs speed!

I found it on ebay for about $25 plus delivery charges. Oh and these cards are VERY easy to replace. There is a door on the bottom of the laptop with a captive screw - remove the door, then another screw which holds the card down. 2 drivers who commit on the 2 connectors on the map - the map out on the right.

This card worked very well for me I highly recommend to solve the problem with shit card atheros 5007.

Unfortunately, my laptop was stolen 2 weeks ago! (it was only 2 months old!) Some loser scumbag broke in with me so that I was at work and stole my laptop and my LCD 24 ''!

I've had this laptop for $350 new Staples. I can't find a similar agreement now.

Don't know if I'll go with HP\Compaq after what I went through just to make it work wireless...

  • HP laptop could not connect to the netgear N600 router secure

    New laptop HP MAY connect to the Netgear N600 dual band router if NO guarantee is enabled, but it cannot if security is enabled on that either WPA, WPA2, WPA2-PSK regardless.  It can connect too well if wired (of course).

    I reloaded the drivers and all the usual remedies but not joy.  Also I tried using a USB WiFi adapter with the same result, unable to connect with security enabled.  All other devices connect very well including 2 Iphones, Tablet android, Apple TV, Apple MacBook pro, printer, etc. then it does seem like a router problem.

    Laptop is slightly, around the age of 6 months running Windows 8.  As a temporary workaround I disabled DHCP, security and peripheral isolation enabled 2.4 ghz radio router static address then attributed to the laptop, not a lot of security, but that's all I have.  I moved all devices except a (2.4 ghz only) iphone on the active side of 5 ghz on a different SSID with WPA2.

    It seems that the OS has a problem with the hold of encryption in the stack, or maybe it's a hardware problem.  Whatever it is, it works very well with an open WiFi but died completely when any type of security at all turned on, same WEP.  I arrived at the end of my knowledge here and short of a relatively new machine of retirement or try a full reload of the OS (Win 7 X 64 use), I'm stuck.  It is the only system to win 8 I worked (OS nasty if it is).

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    I know it's late, but there are probably people searching on the net because of this problem just as if I were stupid. I got a new laptop Windows 8.1 and plugged into my router to set up. Worked without problem. I unplugged the ethernet cable and jumped on the wireless, typed in my network key and hop, connected with no internet access or other useful functions. Long story short, eventually work was by using the automatic connection on the router (the one at the bottom that looks like a radio with 2 waves coming out of it) to connect the first time instead of manually typing the password.

    You will need to clear your computer auto-enregistré on the network so that you leave cool to do that. At least, I assume that. My laptop has a dual band wireless card, so I just shot on 5G and serves as my network "expenses. After he successfully connected to that one however, my laptop is now having no problem with the 2.4 G which was faulty in the first place.

    Who knows why he can be configured automatically, but don't let you not type the password yourself. In any case, I hope this helps someone!

    r Ellis,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    If cela used to work, but the fact now, you can try to do a system restore back before the problem started.
    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
    Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
    In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    Click Finish.
    The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

    What happens when you try to connect - the computer see the router but not connect or not he sees the router at all?  Your wireless card still appears upward and it shows the available networks?  Depending on the answers to these questions, it could be a number of different things, so we have to know what that is and can't.  It could be that anything the wireles adapter has stopped working, the need of drivers update, interference, etc..  Let us know if the adapter is working or not and he sees to all networks or not, and we'll go from there.

  • iPhone will not stay connected to the internet?

    * Posted on MacRumors forums but no answers *.

    So basically since a few days my phone sometimes don't remain not connected to the internet network of BT-Hub3. I connect to it and then sometimes, it will stay connected for a minute for a few seconds and then disconnect. When I go to the wifi thing it seems available to connect to. After a couple of times that to happen, it will say wrong password (this is the password) and disconnect me and then I have to type the password. Repeat to infinity. It's honestly so frustrating.

    Sometimes it will stay and be fine but his is happened twice in the last few days and never happened before with any phone I've had.

    I try my phone with my BT-Hub4 internet network and it will stay connected. The only problem with this is that the internet is further (bottom), so has a low connection that does not charge anything unless I lean on my bed.

    Initially, I assumed my internet pick, but I'm typing this I am connected to the network BT-Hub3 without disconnect him, even once.

    I had the phone for a year and 2 months (previous owner had since October/November/December in the year of release) and recently got a replacement of the unofficial battery if this of any help. I also still have my phone on the low power mode. The phone always properly connect to the BT-Hub3 network even with unofficial battery and low power however mode.

    I had several other problems with the phone (camera, apps download not heat no reason apparent, random battery drains despite the new battery in just 3 months and has the same problem with the battery, slow Touch ID that apparently is not normal), which most recently happened.

    I had all the settings to reset a week or two ago but surely if who messed with my settings internet I would have had the internet issue earlier? Not sure if I should try to reset the network settings. I hate this and only do if I need to.

    One last note, I have the latest version of iOS so ignore saying his 9.3.2 on

    Hi pinkdolphins0400,

    Thanks for posting in the communities of Support from Apple! I understand that you are having problems with your iPhone does not stay connected to your internet connection at home. I use my home Wi - Fi network to stay connected, so I use all the cell data, if I can understand wanting to make sure that you are able to stay in touch. I am pleased to provide you with a few suggestions for you.

    The first thing I recommend you do is follow the steps described in the following article. It seems that you have already experienced some of these steps, but I want to be sure that you have covered everything.

    If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch connects to a Wi - Fi network

    Since you mentioned that your iPhone will stay connected to your network to another, you can take a look at the network settings for the one that you are having problems staying connected to. Article below provides information about network configurations suggested for Apple devices. You can also check with the manufacturer for your BT 3 - Hub see if there are updates that must be performed. This can cause problems with disconnects.

    Recommended settings for the WiFi routers and access points

    For other problems you mentioned (apps do not download, camera, battery draining, contact ID, etc.) reset settings was a big step in troubleshooting to try. If these things are always happening, I recommend making a backup of your iPhone and then restore it via iTunes. The backup will ensure that your data is saved. When you perform the restore via iTunes, you'll want to set up as a new device (temporarily), and then test it. Once you test, you can try to restore your backup. You can find all of the information below, you will need.

    The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings

  • Use the connection to the server externally and internally for PCoIP?

    Another great video, very well explained. Just a question, it is not possible to use a connection to the server for both internal and external users PCoIP? You must use servers to separate connection, one at gateway PCoIP to external users and other to PCoIP direct links?

    You could, but internal users would cross the bridge PCOIP.   I' always found lve easier just have a broker for external users.

  • Why don't I stay connected to the journal online (Huffington Post)

    When I connect to the Huffington Post, a newspaper online via browser Google Chrome, I stay connected for hours, until I leave the site. When you use Firefox my default browser, I be online only until I click on a story and then I noticed that I am not connected anymore.

    I tried to disable the Add-ons, safe boot mode, but it does not help. It didn't happen in another site, but because I've only visited the site for the first time recently, I can say that I did not any changes to firefox just before or after.

    I have the ability to use Google Chrome, but I don't like not really her - thats why FF is the default browser. I have also post comments on Forums and newspaper stories and find Lazare very useful if I am stopped when writing a piece. Now, Lazarus works brilliantly in Firefox but doesn't seem to work in GC.

  • Problem to stay connected to the internet through the wireless router.

    I'm having a strange problem.  My computer will stay connected wireless for anywhere between 2-30 minutes before losing connectivity.  However, it works when I plug it into the router, which is what I'm doing now.  I have tried everything I can think of to eliminate the problem, but it has not changed.  Usually, once it shuts down it will stay off until I have change the frequency of router or something.  Reset the router works every time some time, but nothing is definitely the problem.

    I disabled ipv6, reset the router, update windows, restarted several times that I have unplugged router and modem, reconfigured frequency channel of the router, among other things.

    It must be a problem with my computer because my roommate both have computers that are working properly.  In addition, it is a relatively new problem.  I've had my computer for a few months now and it has worked well up until that 2 days ago.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  • Photosmart B210e stay connected to the PC (wireless)

    Hello

    I'll give you my specs first:

    HP Windows 7 64 bit hard PC connected to the security of WPA-PSK/w N + Router Belkin Wireless.  The printer is connected to the network wireless about 15 feet from the router.

    I have problems with my Photosmart B210e stay connected to my computer.  The only way I can get my computer to see my printer is to restart the printer.  After the printer starts I can print from my computer for about 10 minutes.  After that the computer can no longer maintain a connection with the printer.  According to the screen on the printer, I'm always connected to the network, but when I try to print I always get an error to the effect of the computer cannot establish a connection with the printer.  I have to restart the printer if I want to print again.  I don't have another computer to install the printer, but I can send an e-mail to my printer from my phone which will print when my computer does not see my printer.

    I had the printer for a little over a year and it has always done.  I don't post things very often, but I still don't think it is necessary to be able to the printer whenever I want to print cycle.

    According to the Product Support page there is an update for my printer.  When I try to update the printer from the screen, he says: my printer is up to date.  I tried to update several times and it has NEVER been an option to update, so unless that updates are automatically applied I'm not sure why my printer cannot find the update.  On the product page there are also drivers of the 11/2010.  I bought my printer from Best Buy in 01/2011 so I don't know if I have the latest drivers.  However when I try to download and install the installation always fails me give no description as to why it failed.  He told me then it downloads a solution to the problem and installs an icon on my desktop.  As soon as I click on this icon, it says that it cannot be used because there is no internet connection, which is not true because I can open a browser and surfing very well.

    -J' tried to activate power saving mode that didn't work.

    -J' I attmepted to run the HP network diagnostic utility.  If I run it, as soon as I start the printer it works and shows that there are no errors, if I wait 10 minutes and try to run it does not find my printer.

    -J' I attmepted my printer of the assign a static IP address, I still have the same issues

    I'd appreciate any help that could be given, thanks for your time.

    Routers Belkin have had some problems with HP printers.  Make sure your Belkin has the latest firmware.  Use the Belkin CD to do this.
