Hello

1. Why do you want to be upgraded to connect to the wireless network?

2. are - what you are talking about to upgrade to Windows 7?

As you are using a desktop computer, you must purchase and install a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) wireless adapter or a USB wireless adapter, and then you will be able to connect to the wireless network.

Once you purchase and install the adapter, please try the steps in the following Microsoft articles.

    I can't connect to my wireless network.
    I pressed the FN + F8 combination keys and a box will appear briefly on the screen then disaappears quickly.
    I don't have time to click on anything, and also a message said that I have no network connection.

    I disabled my firewall on a case where this caused a problem.
    Can someone please

    Hello

    > I pressed the FN + F8 combination keys and a box appears briefly on the screen, then disappears quickly

    This is nothing unusual. You need to pass only to the WLan and then disappear the wishes of the box! There is nothing wrong.

    First, you must activate the WLan switch on the side of cell phones! Then use the FN + F8 key to switch to the WLan.
    Then use the configuration Windows own option or a 3rd party WLan client configuration tool like Atheros or Intel ProSet utility. But it depends on the WLan card manufacture what utility can be used!

    Then set the right settings such as the SSID, password encryption, etc.
    If you have set all right should then work!

    I recently did a clean install of genuine copy of Windows 7 Home Premium to clear unwanted programs all on my computer. Because the product key are disabled unexpectedly.

    The installation works fine, but after the installation. I can't connect to a wireless network, because there is no network adapter installed on the computer.

    Also, I can't set my screen resolution of 1366 x 768. Before any new install, the screen resolution sets to 1366 x 768 as native and recommended screen resolution.

  • How to remove or delete network domestic (not homegroup) so that I can access and connect to our wireless network.

    I have Windows 7 and it is connected to the network via a home network (not homegroup - that is not disconnected).

    We have a set up wireless network and the other computer, tv, xbox, cell phones, tablet, that all were connected successfully to our home wi - fi configuration. My Dell windows 7 is always connected through an old home network of a previous wired router. How in the world I remove, delete or otherwise change the settings so that I can connect to the wireless network. My computer does not even list or recognize the wireless network. Help, please. I looked and looked and can't find anything to help me.

    My computer does not even list or recognize the wireless network.

    If your machine does not list the wireless networks, this is caused by one of the following:

    • There are no active of nearby wireless networks.
    • The machine doesn't have a wireless adapter.
    • The wireless adapter is disabled.
    • The wireless adapter is disabled. Most laptops have a switch or some facility keyboard to turn off the wireless network card.
  • Residential Group / Network ID Issuee as I can't get the homegroup to connect to my home network

    I am running Win 7 Pro on my laptop and can't get the homegroup to connect to my home network. I have two other computers (wired, one wireless) which are connected and share without problem and can even see (that) the name of my laptop on the network home.

    When I run the troubleshooter to homegroup, it is to identify a network problem, but the next step cannot identify a because my laptop connects wireless both at home and on the road. I think that the problem is in my setting of the network ID and the Discovery Mode as when I try to change the setting for network ID for 'Home' instead of 'Business' it resets right back to business. Same thing happens with trying to turn the discovery mode 'On', it is 'Off '.

    I appreciate all the help that I have been fighting this issue for awhile now and just have not had time to fix.

    Thank you

  • Satellite Pro A200 cannot connect to the wireless network

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 and Tuesday night I was able to connect to a wireless network. I received an update, rebooted and now it doesn t seem to work.

    I can see the wireless networks available via the Toshiba Radar but cannot connect to my usual wireless network.
    Also, the wireless network icon disappeared from my system tray and if I go to Control Panel/network connections, I can't even view available networks because there is no option to do so.

    Any ideas?
    the FN/F8 will work?
    Help! Please, I beg you!

    Have you tried using System Restore and restore the operating system on time earlier?
    Maybe this will remove the update installed, and you can again use the WLAN.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Solved: unable to connect to my wireless network

    I have problems connecting to my wireless network. In available connections, my network is there with an x next to it. I can click on it and put my security key in, but it says unable to connect to the network. I've updated ready network cards. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Bobby

    Thank you for all your help. I'm back on now. I started having trouble a few weeks ago. My wifi connection would pass, and I have to disable and then re activate my network card back. This has been relatively shortly after my upgrade from Windows 10 but not immediately after. Then the other day which didn't work and I could not connect at all. I read somewhere to try to uninstall the network adapter and then restarting. It did not work. I also read to find updates for the network card and install those which, as mentioned by ichi730 as well. This no longer works. Then, I realized that I had not tried to restart the router after reading the post of WyreNut. It worked, thank you! I feel that it is a combination of the two pieces of advice that have worked so.

    Thank you all for your comments, it's much appreciated.

    Hello @fairgame,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I understand that you have a problem with the WiFi and wanted to help you!

    First of all, try to review the next steps, offered by community member @Great-Christine-Tree:

    First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:

    HP PC - troubleshooting Internet and wireless network

    A second option is to try the following steps:
    Powercycle the network:
    1. turn off your laptop.
    2. unplug the power to your router.
    3. disconnect the power to your modem.
    4. wait at least 45 seconds.
    5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
    6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
    7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.

    Turn off the power to the adapter:
    1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. expand the network adapters.
    3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
    4. click on the power management tab.
    5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. click on OK.
    7 test cycle.

    Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    Reinstall the NIC drivers:
    1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
    2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
    3. expand network adapters.
    4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
    6. restart your PC and test.

    Test an ethernet connection:
    Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.

    Test another connection:
    Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down list in the upper right of the document.

    Please let me know if this information helps you solve the problem by marking this message as 'accept as Solution', this will help others easily find the information they seek.  In addition, by clicking on the Thumbs up below is a great way to say thank you!

    Have a great day!
