  • HP dv6-6c10us: HP dv6-6c10us Broadcom 802.11n wireless adapter does not work after windows 10 installed

    I have a laptop HP dv6-6c10us with a Broadcom 802.11n wireless adapter.  It worked fine on Win 7.  When I upgraded to win 10, it has stopped working.  The driver has not been updated since 06/02/13.

    Until the driver is updated by Broadcom or HP, this computer is now a desktop computer.

    Any suggestions on how to get the adapter wireless on Windows 10?

    I recommend you to go back and do a system restore to a point before started to install the automatic updates, and where worked the wireless.

    Then download this tool that stops updates to install automatically.

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/3073930

    Hide all of them and then install one by one until you find the one that is to destroy the wireless connection.

    When you have found the culprit just hide it again and it will not be installed.

    You can create a system restore point each time you install an update.

    Tedious, but you should get where you want to be.

  • Satellite L50-B-1DZ - wireless network adapter does not work

    So, my network wireless adapter completely stopped working. 2 days ago I couldn't connect to networks wirelessly without problem (although I've disconnected and will need to run the troubleshooter every few hours to reset it...), but yesterday I started to get the message "not connected - no connection is available. In broadcom 802.11n network adapter in Device Manager, the icon has a yellow warning symbol and the error message "this device cannot start. Code 10 ".

    I tried to update the drivers, but it gives just the same error message. I also tried to do a restore of the system since a week ago, but it has not fixed either.

    I found a youtube video that said that the problem can be caused by a software conflict and change value from registry, but that no longer works, and now I'm full of ideas.

    How have you tried to update the driver WLan?
    Have you tried to uninstall the driver first, and then after reboot again to install the new driver downloaded from Toshiba UE driver page?

    Try it!

    You said you reset the system in the past?
    How? Have you used the Toshiba recovery procedure and have you installed already preinstalled system once more?

  • Wireless network adapter does not work on my Satellite A200

    BIOS bug? I don t think so

    First of all, you must make sure that this isn't a hardware problem. In this case, insert the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall the operating system of this device. This will outline the laptop to factory settings. Notes; This would format the whole HARD drive.

    After the new installation, you must activate the WLan switch on the side of books, and you can then use the switch button FN + F8 to select the WiFi network.

    I assume that you have already configured your Wlan router. So the same settings such as the SSID, encryption of WLan, etc. must be defined on the laptop too.

  • Qosmio G50 802.11n enabled but does not work properly

    Hello

    I get a new Qosmio G50 on Christmas and now I have a little problem. I use a draft N of D-link access point and I want to use 802.11n mode with my qosmio. But I have some problems with it. I activated the 802.11n mode in the peripheral band Manager and channelbandwidth 2.4 & 5.2 are both set to "auto". But I don't get the 300mbps, 60mbps is what I get. My father has a portable computer from a different manufacture with also a 802.11n wireless card but not Intel and other mobile, I get the 300mbps! I put books together in the same room, the other get the qosmio 300mbps varies from 1 to 81mbps or more.

    -Does anyone know what goes wrong or what I need to change something in the Device Manager? I heard that many other intel WiFi 5100 owners also do not receive the speed of 300mbps.

    can someone help me?

    Greetz

    Have you tried turning off modes of 802.11g/b/a by assigning "802.11n only?

    Access device wireless LAN settings in Device Manager to change these settings.

    Remember not that 300Mpbs speed signal. Actual data transfer speed (less overhead) is less than 100 Mbps

  • Wireless network adapter does not work anymore and will not be repeated work without stopping the computer and then back on.

    Sometimes I leave my computer on at night.  Sometimes I notice that when I get back to him the next day that he has limited connection to the network I use.  When I try to disconnect it from the network, then reconnect, it says that it cannot connect.  Then, when I try to restart my computer it is sitting at a screen saying "stop down". "."  My wireless network software also is unaccessable in which she does not open and if I close the Task Manager and reopen it flashes for a second then closes.

    However when I turn it on manually and then turn it on again, which apparently is not good for the computer, I am once again able to connect to the network with full access.

  • Irregular connectivity - ACER 7551. Windows 7; 64 bit. Broadcom 802.11n network adapter

    I have a DELL Inspiron with NO QUESTIONS through Win 7 the same router.

    ACER aspire unpredictable will escape and does not connect at all.

    The troubleshooter for WINDOWS currently deducted "your modem broadband has connectivity problems. Reset your broadband.

    On other occasions, troubleshooting has solved the problem.  This happens probably once a day.

    Seems illogical that the modem would only allow a computer through the router?

    Of course, I rebooted.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for your swift suggestion.  During this time, I did a restore to a point several weeks ago.  Then I got an error message that NORTON was corrupt. So I did an UNINSTALL of NORTON (need to go to their Web site - could not just use Uninstall WIN from the control panel settings). Then a reinstall.

    My connection is OK today. I'll see how long I can go without problem before returning to your suggestion on the pilot.

  • NETWORK adapter does not work after upgrade

    Hello

    I have two identical servers, HP ML350 G6, with an additional NIC from Intel (82574L).

    The first server running 4.0 and I upgraded to 5.0 without any problem.

    The other server was running 4.1 so I thought that there is no problem here either, BUT when I got to the installation/update I did not upgrade option, I had a migration of Force instead. He complained of two pilots 'oem-vmware-esx-drivers-net-vxge' and 'oem-vmware-esx-drivers-scsi-3w-9xxx '.

    I thought that the first server was no problem and it works well on 5.0 so I did a force to migrate.

    When the Force 'migrate' was done and I started the server I noticed that a NETWORK card no longer works correctly, Intel 82574 L...

    It says it is disconnected, and there is a red X next to it. I checked the first server again to see if it was really the same exact material and that's the only difference is that the Intel NETWORK card is working on the first but not the second server and they are now both on 5.0...

    How is it, I have had no problem for the rehabilitation of the 4.0, but when I upgraded to 4.1 I had these problems? And how do I fix?

    I need this server running as soon as possible.
