Cannot detect wireless around my laptop

My windows 7 cannot detect wireless connection, not to mention I had turn it on wireless. And when I want to use the AD HOC as the host network to connect another pc to share files, it didn't work. Windows could not set up the Ad Hoc. What should I do to fix this?

Thank you
Leila pamungkas

Hi Leila,

What is the brand and model of the computer?

This problem occurs because the Windows operating system does not automatically recover when a WPA2 ad hoc network connection times out. A time-out may occur if one of the following conditions is true:

  • Windows Vista or Windows 7 detects no activity.
  • There is a charge of busy network traffic.
  • Network device drivers are outdated.

Method 1:

Run the network troubleshooter, and update the driver wireless on the manufacturer's Web site.

Reference:

Wireless and wired network problems

Method 2: You can perform the steps described in the article and check out them.

  • Satellite T135D - cannot detect wireless networks

    I bought a T135D early January.
    Everything was happy until one day my laptop decides it cannot detect wireless networks, and even less to connect to one.
    I don't think the T135 came with a manual switch, while in the BIOS it says it's on.

    The graph with the antenna and 4 bars charge is no longer at startup, or the light that lights up on the front of my laptop. It's frustrating to have this kind of problem so early in the game with the T135D.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    The wireless network must be activated by pressing the FN + F8 key combination.
    Have you tried that?

    If not, please check it

    Of course, you must make sure that the WLan card driver is always up to date.

  • My office wireless icon is x'd - cannot detect wireless networks.

    My computer screen suddenly went black this evening - the monitor was still, the fans were still humming, but it was totally insensitive.

    I forced a stop, and when I rebooted the computer, my wireless icon has been x'd out. My computer cannot detect wireless networks (there are a half-dozen or more in my building). I tried a good stop and restart, but the problem was still there.

    The Network Diagnostics tool told me to check the router, so I did--but all other devices in the House are connected very well. I thought it would be a malware, so I ran a MalwareBytes scan, which turned up nothing. Then I reinstalled the drivers from the card WLAN - no luck there.

    System Restore has not solved the problem. ipconfig says "media state: disconnected ' for my WIFI adapter, but I don't know how to fix this. In the devices, the Broadcom WLAN card Manager, he says "this device is functioning correctly.

  • My laptop cannot detect wireless networks after using the Windows Update service. Technical support, very desperate need.

    I tried the direct technical support, but it seemed to have cut. Given that I can no longer connect to the internet on my laptop, I'm with my playstation browser and painfully by typing with the controller.

    My probllem.
    I have an ASUS Intel Core i3 - 2350M CPU @ 2.30 GHZ running Windows 7 home premium. I've selected "Windows Update" in the start menu and proceeded to download and install all updates. Once the updates have been installed, my laptop couldn't detect wireless networks which means that I can't connect to my router and have lost the internet.
    Device Manager indicates 802.11n Wireless LAN Card is working properly.
    Windows did create a restore point before installing the updates, but everytime I try a restore I get the following message
    "System Restore has failed. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed
    Details
    System Restore could not access a file. This is probably because an antivirus program is running on the computer. Temporarily disable your antivirus program and restart System Restore.
    An unspecified error occurred during the restoration of the system (0x80070005)"
    "I disabled anti Virus AVG and COMODO firewall only to receive the same message, and it now appears that the restore point disappeared as if by magic, saying system restore ' no. restore points were created.

    I have reset my router but my laptop doesn't detect a network and there are usually 10 in the region and it shows nothing. My router is fine, as I use it now with my playstation.
    Please I really need help, how do I get my laptop to detect the wireless network. If someone could give me a few steps to do, please.

    Most laptops have a switch that turns the wifi radio on or off.  Often, it is a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys.  It may be a physical switch somewhere on the laptop.  See your manual for details.

    If this isn't the problem...

    What is the brand and model of your router?  Almost all wifi routers also have at least one Ethernet port, you can connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable and download the right driver for your http://www.asus.com/support wireless card
    Have you tried to "Roll back driver" in the "Driver" tab of your adapter wifi 'properties' in Device Manager?  At the very least, determine which version of the driver is installed, and compare that to the current version on the asus support site.

  • Intel WiFi Link 5100 network card - cannot detect wireless networks

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-1270us. My wireless card is an Intel WiFi Link 5100.

    Running Windows Vista 64 bit, Ubuntu Linux, Linux Mint and Fedora Linux (various versions, all), the wireless works fine. My desktop computers to work with wireless cards to connect to the network work very well, and all computers (except mine) to connect to my home network very well; which means that it is not a problem with wireless networks, or with my network card. I try to manually connect to the network, but it can't find it. Diagnosis requires that the card is disabled, and that I should turn it on via the switch on my laptop running: fact.

    During the installation of Windows 7 64 bit, I cannot see wireless networks (and therefore unable to connect). Re-formated and reinstalled again, check the wireless connectivity between each batch of Windows Update, but it has never worked.

    I downloaded the latest drivers from Intel, via Microsoft Compatibility Center (version 15.2.0 driver).

    There is no system restore option because he has never worked as a first step, except in all other OS, I got on the computer. Microsoft Compatibility says the map is compatible, then Device Manager shows no problems. The network adapter is active via switch on my laptop.

    Happy that you guessed it sorted!

    Hello

    If everything checked OK wise network, and you have mentioned before: ' sfc/scannow' in the command as administrator prompt and it said "windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to trouble".

    It is perhaps that some kernel files are corrupted and cannot be updated.

    Refresh the Installation of XP.

    To be safe, back up your data and some special stuff to a flash drive.

    ----------------------------------

    Boot from the original XP CD. Pass the first screen offering Console repair and proceed as if you install a new XP.

    After accepting etc., the new Setup screen lights up and would detect the current XP installation.

    You have an option to press R to repair.

    Use it, would take about 45 min. and you would an Installation of XP refresh all by keeping your Application, data and XP configuration.

  • Cannot detect wireless connection

    I have a Samsung mobile phone, NP5505P7C

    I just reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 and I turned on the WLAN service to detect my WiFi network, but it does not always detect it.

    Can someone help me with this?

    If you have used a Windows 7 DVD (or a downloaded ISO file) to reinstall Windows 7, then you will need to reinstall all drivers for your laptop hardware.  Click Start and type "Device Manager" (without the quotation marks) and then click on the link that is located.  There are probably a number of entries, display warning icons.

    "NP5505P7C" doesn't seem to be a valid Samsung product.  Maybe you have a NP550P7C.  The Samsung website we does not have drivers for this model, but the UK site--> http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/NP550P7C-S05UK

    Drivers for the wireless network card are there, but not only will you have to understand that many drivers is appropriate for your hardware, but I suspect you will need to download and install several other drivers as well.  I suggest you ask support Samsung how to know what your particular unit requires specific drivers.  Samsung can easily determine that your serial number or any other identifier on your laptop.
