C870-1F3 satellite - cannot use and WLan connection

Hello

My father had this laptop with windows 8 during about 6 to 8 weeks, everything was ok, but today it can not connect wireless at all, if I plug in the modem the internet works fine.

I tried loo t to the net - and tried FN and F12 but no joy, I don't know what Dad has done,

I know the macafee's exhausted recently will this affect anything.
Told me one day a wireless switch might not be on, but I do not see a switch anywhere.

can someone help?

There is no other option to activate the Wlan with the exception of the pressing F12 (Fn + F12)
But we must start with the basics:

You must go to the Device Manager and check if the wireless network adapter is recognized in the list of available devices.
If its recognized, this means that WLan driver is installed and working properly.
If it is NOT recognized, you need to install the correct driver Wlan (located on the Toshiba UE driver page).

After that, go to Control Panel - Network Sharing Center
On the left you will see the option called manage wireless networks.
Until it clicks. New window will open. Here you can see that all configured Wlan networks.
In the event that your Wlan isn t listed, click Add and configure the right help WiFi network SSID, encryption, and password encryption. Even if the WiFi network is recognized, you can remove the Wlan and could run through the Setup again.

  • Satellite Pro L10 and WLAN connection

    One of my clients claims that the wireless connection is not displayed in fact at all and he now believes that there is no wireless connection.

    The L10 was problems with does not appear before wireless connection?

    And if so is it possible to fix it.

    Hi Graham

    It will be interesting to know what model of Satellite has your customer (L10 - xxx). It is possible that the device has no wireless network card onboard. Please check the underside of the laptop. Usually, there must be a small label WLAN.

    If the device has a wireless network card which should also be listed in the device under network adapters Manager.

  • Satellite 2430-301: cannot use 2200BG WLan card because the switch is off

    Hello

    I have a Satellite 2430-301, which was not delivered with WLAN functionality. But I discovered, that there is a MiniPCI slot in the laptop.

    So, I bought an Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Minipci card. After that I joined the card in the laptop, it has been detected by windows as a new network device. I downloaded and installed the drivers of Windows XP (because I have Windows XP installed on the laptop) of Intel (9.0.4.17) home page. The installation worked perfectly.

    Now I tried to connect to a wireless network, but the software Intel says that the card is on 'off '. So I changed the menu drop-down on "on", which resulted in a mistake in German: "Die Intel (r) PRO/Wireless-Netzwerkverbindung ist noch deaktiviert.» Aktivieren Sie sie über your Hardware-switch. "(which means something like 'network Intel (r) PRO/Wireless connection is turned off. Turn it on with the hardware switch. »).

    Although the switch was already in position "on", I spent several times - nothing important happened. The led next to the switch will not illuminate in both positions.

    Are there problems of incompatibility between "Toshiba Satellite 2430 301" and "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG?

    I did something wrong?

    Is - this darn broken hardware switch?

    Any suggestions?

    I would be really happy if someone could help me :)

    Thanks in advance,
    Thuriel

    Hello

    The hardware switch led should light up if the switch is on.
    In addition if you want to use the WiFi network you must go to the WLan with FN + F8 option.
    In addition, you must check the WLan card properties in Device Manager. Here, you enter the Advanced tab. In the field of property choose radio power option and select the value to on.

    I had an older Toshiba laptop that I have connected to my linksys router with a PC card wireless of linksys... absolutely no problem at all with him for over a year...

    Since buying this one with built in the wireless, the only way I cn get the connectivity Toshiba dctor to detect the connection is too "no broadcast" disable my router, my neighbor commented that he could get on my network!

    Sometimes when the PC is start the 'LAN' and 'Wireless' icons on the departure to the high bar take ages to appear... and when they finally do a wireless has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it... and the internet does not work...

    Sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 times to restart my computer and the router to recognize each other...

    It is certainly an issue on the laptop... I can always connect to each time without fail on the other laptop (who is now my wife) and I have a floor Office from PC using a netgear PCI Wireless crd and which connects no problem every time...

    I cn kind of deal with it, but its bothers me why I can't even detect the connection to the network during the broadcast is disabled (even when Ive found by scanning with seized me the name of the network)...

    Usually the wlan card driver update will solve some problem of connectivity and also turning off the power save mode in the properties of the wlan card.

  • Satellite A60 crashes with BSOD using the WLan connection

    Hello

    The son laptop works well 24/7 If you use the local cable network on web access, but as soon as we install Wifi it crashes on a regular basis (2 or 3 times an hour) with BSOD error messages - normally those helps Microsoft cant (via the event viewer report) with but it is often talking about Toshiba phone services but no solution.

    Tried two (netgear) pcmcia & usb (agere) wifi cards - exactly same problem can not maps.

    In desperation re-formatted & resettled Xp & all drivers Toshiba of original Cd of Tosh, then Xp Sp2 & then all the updates/fixes engineering including the bios from site Web of Tosh. Still crashes.

    If the software has - v installed or not makes no difference.

    A 512 extra ram on top of 256 original.

    Any ideas?

    Please believe me that it is not easy to say why the BSOD appears!
    From my personal experience, that the BSOD can occurs because of the problem of critical software, or because of the problem of equipment.

    In your case, it looks like a hardware problem (this is my personal opinion)
    Generally, the laptop should work with the external WLan USB card. I put t see no reason why it shouldn't work t.

    You said that you have updated the RAM on this laptop, I noticed on many laptops than similar issues after a RAM upgrade.

    For example; I inserted the new 1 GB RAM on my old Satellite and received a BSOD. I used a compatible but the BSOD appeared sometimes.
    After the passage of the modules to another location memory my laptop works properly!

    Please check this box. Maybe you could check if the same thing happens with your old module!

    Good luck

  • Satellite L755 - problem Audio/video using the WLAN connection

    Hello

    I've updated the latest drivers for the Conexant HD Audio card and it made no difference.

    Essentially during playback there are a sound intermittent distorted during playback mp3, video playback and online stream.

    I tried different programs and the same thing, however, when I have a LAN cable presents no problem - it's only when I'm connected to the wireless network.

    Can someone please tell me what might cause the wireless create this problem and how to fix?

  • I have a new server and you cannot use Remote Desktop connection.

    I HAVE A NEW SERVER (HP ML110 G6) AND HAVE USED OLD HARD DISKS, BUT MY REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION WILL NOT ME OR OTHERS - WHAT COULD THE REASON BE?

    Hello

    I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

     The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
    Disable the antivirus software:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    May also need to do this on other computers as well.

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Satellite Pro L300-156 - WLAN connection drops every 12 hours

    Hello!

    I have a short model "Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-156" (PSLB1E).

    The system state is:

    I used the recovery CD (to install Windows XP and other software on this CD).
    I've upgraded to the latest version of the BIOS (1.50, 10/07/2008) for my laptop and I downloaded all updates for Windows XP.
    I installed the latest WLAN driver for my WIFI (Realtek RTL8187B) card.

    The problem is still there:
    Every 12 hours (exactly on the minute!) drops connections.
    Not only the Internet, but the local connection.
    It is even a kind of matrices.

    Both a connection to a local computer and "mIRC" (ssh/telnet-program) to "PuTTY" (program-chat-IRC) says "network error caused abortion of software".

    These ping connections not, they die instantly in a tenth of a second.

    Hello

    I guess it can be caused by a 3rd third party tool that was installed on your laptop.

    I mean it of really strange that disconnected EXCATLY after 12 hours of use.

    "I have goggled a bit for the message: network error: Software caused connection abort."
    And found that this error is displayed if the Windows network code decides that your network connection is dead. This will happen when you remove the cable network Ethernet-connected computer, or if Windows has any other reason to believe the entire network has become unreachable.

    I think you should check the settings of your WLan router. My router refresh / disconnects after 23,59 hours to ensure that the IP address has changed.
