Can't find a wireless network on my dell with xp that I refromatted

I just be reformatted my hard drive, Windows xp, and I can't get a connection to a wireless nw nw. I can't even a forthcoming screen which shows all available wireless networks, as I could before I reformatted. It shows two networks listed under network connections. It is said that the cable is disconnected and the other says that it is enabled. the two names match the names under nw maps in Device Manager. I never had a connection rigid cable on this computer for years. It's in my basement and when we moved here I didn't have a telephone at the bottom line, so I bought a card and set up in the wireless.

any help would be appreciated. I am at a total loss on this. I'm not a fool when it comes to computers, I can install memory and I've reformatted the computer without problem, but it gets the best of me.

    So please help me with a sollution for my WiFi problem!

    Thank you

    Hi creativu22,

    First, you must identify the type of wireless network card before you begin to install all the drivers available. Therefore, you can also search with vendor and device ID.
    Check this box!

    If you have installed the driver successfully and your wireless network adapter is listed in the Device Manager, you must check the TCP/IP settings. Maybe you need to use static IP addresses, but it depends on your router.

    Try turning off also in Power Options Windows WLAN energy saving features!

  • I installed Windows XP Home Edition. Can not find the wireless network drive

    I installed Windows XP Home Edition on my spare PC.  Now I have wireless network card in the computer and problems to find the drivers for it, and I don't know what brand it is, so I know it's kind of makes it harder too.  Then I also have to start the computer, but if I press F1, the computer starts well

    I was just wondering how can I get rid of this?

    Disable all devices that can connect to your router (wired or wireless)...

    • PCs
    • Laptops
    • Tablets
    • Smartphones
    • Smart TV
    • Printers
    • Networked storage
    • Another thing that I have not mentioned above!

    Put on your router and wait for the normal light distribution. Then turn on all devices.

    I hope that your ip address conflict went away. Generally ip conflicts can happen when the router is running again without doing the same with all devices later.

    If you have even an ip address conflict, it is possible that you forgot something above or can someone use your router without your knowledge.

    Your router's wireless network is secure? Ideally with WPA2 encryption?

  • Can't find my wireless network

    I recently bought 2 identical laptops, eMachines E525 Acer. Two of them are under Vista Home Premium.  When I put in place the first laptop computer, he finds and allowed me to connect to my router wirelessly with no problems whatsoever. When I pulled up and set up the other, when I tried to connect to the router, I get the message 'no wireless networks detected. I tried to set up the connection manually, but he still refuses to connect. Since I bought the machine that day, I got to the store, thinking it was a problem with the wifi of the laptop. They tested, and he finds about 6 networks nearby. They agreed to exchange for a new machine, and when I got the same problem occurred. For the life of me, I can't understand what is happening. The router broadcasts its SSID, certainly since the first laptop computer, as well as my PS3 and my Wii see the broadcast. Any suggestions on how to force the laptop to see the SSID?

    Are you sure that your second computer is close enough to pick up the signal (or not to being blocked by something in the building)?  Have you tried to move next to the router and see if you can connect from there?

    If the original machine could microphones wireless without any configuration and she and the new machine cannot connect to your router (but other units can and they can also get a connection), I suggest that you check the router settings to make sure that it is configured to accept multiple connections a lot and that there is no security feature that needs to be reset to allow the new machine to connect (perhaps a password or something).  I would also turn off the Windows Firewall and any security software you use to make sure that they are not interfering.  Also, I could set up a new connection on the computer that cannot connect (rather than old configuration) and see if that solves the problem.  Are you sure you used the correct workgroup name during installation?

    You must set up a wireless internet connection in the network as well as the connection sharing normal LAN wireless and connect to it as well as the local connection.  If you don't do this, you will not have an internet connection.  You need both.  You must also enable some features in the main area sharing network to access the internet - they are quite well defined.

  • can not find the wireless network

    Hello

    I hope someone can help. Today, I got a new installed wireless router. Until now my main and most recent computer can connect to the internet fine (so I know this isn't a network problem), but my old computer does not find the network when scherching of available networks, it may pick up other networks and communicate with them simply not my own. It is the first time that I am trying to connect to this wireless computer.

    The computer is a HP pavilion t770.uk Windows xp sp3.

    You need to replace the network adapter. The current NIC is older than the specification of N, so it can not communicate with this Protocol.

    You can try to configure your router and the new pc to use b, if they allow.

  • Satellite A135 can't find any WLan network

    My Satellite A135 Vista went through a severe virus problems and cleaning tools with some cleaning.

    The latter, I found that it could not find any wireless network (there are many)
    The system could not fix the problem even if the driver has been reinstalled.

    I moved switch position Wi - Fi (wireless LED is lit) and activated the wireless network adapter using the FN + F8 key combination.

    What can I do else?

    Hello!

    Is the properply recognized WLAN card in Device Manager?
    Maybe you should try to reinstall the driver. Therefore, you should look on the Toshiba website for your laptop model:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

    In addition, you should check if you have disabled the function of Vista the WLAN to save energy card. This document could be useful for you:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm

    Last but not least check the properties of the wireless network card. You must use the same standard WiFi (for example 802.11 g) as on the router.

  • HP B209a cannot find the wireless network

    I'm running into a problem with my B209a find a wireless network.  I'm not well versed in wireless/network please bare with me.   I have an iMac with OS X 10.8.2.  Recently, I upgraded my router to an Airport Extreme.  My Mac can see the printer correctly, however, the printer cannot now see the network.  Airport utility, I see all our appliances listed under wireless clients and an IP address without a name (printer?).  Doesn't look like not to add manually wireless clients is no longer an option.

    The wireless is configured with WPA/WPA2 Personal Security.  The radio is set to 802. 11A / n - 802.11b/g/n (automatic).  Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?  Thank you.

    1. Printer, restore the configuration of the network printer.
    2. Turn on the radio to the printer.
    3. From your Mac, connect to the network printer called hpsetup.
    4. Open Safari and select Bookmarks-> Show all bookmarks.
    5. Select Hello on the left.  Your printer should appear in the main window of Safari.
    6. Double-click the printer.  The printer's internal web page should appear.
    7. The Green Network on the printer web page tab.
    8. Select Wireless (802.11) on the left
    9. Press start the wizard and follow the prompts to connect the printer to the network.

    This should get back you on your feet.

  • Can I connect to wireless networks far away?

    How to connect to wireless networks more away?

    Is there any way I can improve my reach wireless laptops so I can connect to wireless networks more away?

    Hello!

    You can only connect to wireless networks that recognizes the laptop. If the laptop recognizes a wireless network, you can connect to them. If he doesn t recognize (because it is further away) you can't connect.

    In addition, you cannot improve the scope of the laptop wireless. You can do it on a WIFI router, and not on the laptop.

  • Re: Satellite A350D - can't find any WLAN network

    Because the e-mail-support page does not work at the moment (after sending a message I get only a blank page), I'll ask my question here.

    Since the month of maybe 2 or 3 my connection to the WLAN networks is really bad. I have not changed anything, nor the version of Windows (Windows 7) or drivers, but it does not work as good as it was.

    A few examples:
    I'm sitting at 5 meters from the wlan router. Only a wall is separate. The laptop can't find any wlan network. With my HP laptop, the connection is good. I'm sitting on the desk where the router. The laptop detects the network but says Windows connection seems to be only fair or poor. My HP laptop has the best score of the connection.

    Anyone here who can help or can tell how to contact support by e-mail without getting this white page only?

  • Satellite A100-529: How can I enable the wireless network adapter

    Hi all!

    I'm new here, but I want to know how can I activate the wireless network device. On my Toshiba Satellite A100-529 keyboard is a Fn key that must be pressed with the F8 key to turn on the wireless network device. I did, but it does not work.

    What can I do to turn on my wireless device?
    Thank you!

    You are right. The FN + F8 key combination should be used to switch to the WLan card.

    But look, man. Have you checked if your laptop supports wireless network card?
    I think it does not support the minPCI wireless network card and the card does not exist!

    That's why the WLan card cannot be activated :) you know ;)
