• Pavillion G6 2014tx: wireless connectivity problems

  Since the last 2-3 months, my wireless connection does not work correctly. This happened right after that I did the partitioning in the D drive (I don't think this is the main cause). What is happening is that, all of a sudden when internet does not bar shows signs of yellow warning and 'tells' LIMITED ACCESS wireless network. When I try to solve problems, it will give no problem. Then in Device Manager, I tried to uninstall and install again, the internet worked for a while, and still the same problem occurs. When I tried to call to the service center, they told me that I have to buy CDs to retrieve a value of rs500 because I did not these recovery disks. I'm in serious trouble please help...

  I also tried to update latest driver frm net, even if the problem does not get resolved. I also tried to reset the TCPIP in cmd prompt, but it worked for 2-3 days and still the same problem happened...

• U940 PSU6VA satellite - wireless connectivity problems

  _ * My specifications: * _
  * Model: * Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite PSU6VA - 00S 002 U940)
  * Operating system: * Windows 8.1 x 64 (upgrade of Windows 8 x 64)
  * Wireless adapter: * Intel Centrino Wireless - N 2200
  * Wireless adapter driver version: * 15.10.0.12 (which is the last for my device)

  I got this Ultrabook since February 2013, and throughout this period, I always had problems with wireless connectivity, even after a factory reset. My wireless icon varies between three States:
  * Internet access
  * Limited (in which case I can't connect to the internet or any other device on the network)
  * Not connected - connections are available (and if I try to connect to the network, it will fail)

  Sometimes my computer would instantly reach the State of "Internet access" at startup and remain in this State. Other times, it would be 'limited' for several minutes after the start of my computer before it finally connected, and even in this case, the connection will drop out every now and then. In the worst case, it would indefinitely remain "Limited" or "not connected", regardless of how many times I reset my adapter wireless or rebooted my computer.

  Until very recently, I always thought that these problems have occurred randomly. However, I noticed recently that I have always a connection perfect, whenever there is no other computers connected wirelessly to my router, and I always have problems more or less when there is at least another computer (or even a smart phone) connected wireless to the router. If there is another computer connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, this causes no problems. It's only wireless connections that interfere with my computer.

  It is only this computer that has these problems; the other computers in my house ever experience these issues, no matter how many computers is online. In addition, my computer is not only these problems with my home router; It has the same problems on the network wireless at my University.

  My question is, how do I fix? Is this a known bug or is my defective wireless adapter? I know that I can connect using an Ethernet cable if possible (I have never problems with Ethernet connections), but this is not always possible at the University.

  Did you remove the old driver Win 8 Intel of the system before you upgrade to version 8.1 to win?
  The old Wlan Intel driver could affect the performance of a Wi - Fi connection.

  The driver update page Win 8.1 says clearly that Intel Wlan driver must be uninstalled and the
  Inbox Windows 8.1 version must be used.

• Satellite U400 - S00 Wireless connection problem

  I have a Satellite U400, which was lowered to XP Business.
  Wireless networking seems to work only intermittently.
  I can see several netoworks available and that you have selected the office, wireless access Point to connect automatically. It is the only network that I listed for to connect you.

  The laptop often fails to connect the access point, often trying to connect to another nearby wireless device unsecured.
  If I manually select the office network and click 'Connect', it asks for the key wireless (I have enter) and then it connects briefly, gets an IP via DHCP and disconnects quickly about 10 seconds later.

  If I repeat the reconnection attempts, sometimes I am able to keep the connection for several hours, but if I stop and restart I have to repeat the same procedure. I downloaded what I think is the most up-to-date intel wireless drivers, but I would appreciate a pointer to the most recent.

  I'm not using the ConfigFree, just the menu of Windows Wireless configuration base (Zeroconf service)

  This is driving me crazy. Help, please.

  Hello

  I found this thread and I would like to my experience with the U400.
  Yes, I have a U400 and I installed Win XP Pro.
  I have an Intel WLan card and I already updated the driver WLan to the State.

  I found new drivers here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  I must say that my WiFi works without problem! I have the latest version of the BIOS and I never noticed any problems.

  I must also say that I have don t use tools of any additional WLan configuration but ONLY options specific to Windows and its ok.
  I have disabled the Intel ProSet utility Msconfig and it does not load at the beginning.

  I have configured my OS and laptop computer ONLY connects to my wireless private network.
  Of course if my private Wlan is not available it automatically connects to a WLan unsafe in my range.

• sometimes (iexplorer or firefox mozilla) wireless connection problem question time on XP Home sp3

  I do not have the AOL e-mail account now, I need to change my email address to the account.  It is a question rather long. 1 tech computer. E Machine W3107 desktop PC. AMD Sempron. Processor 3100 + 1.80 GHz, 1600 MHz FSB, 256 KB L2 Cache, 100 GB ATA hard drive, 1.87 GB of memory; (I upgraded the memory to 512 MB DDR SDRAM) 8 in 1 digital memory card reader, 5 USB Ports, nVIDIA GeForce 6100 PCI-Express Slot available, network 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN, Windows XP Home sp3 system, I connect to the internet with 6-AX88772 USB2.0 to Fast Ethernet network adapter. Reason do not use Ethernet adapter was because in the taskbar bar, there was a "Network cable unplugged" warning (internet technician did not want or did not know how) to solve the problem. It's easier and faster just to put the adapter ASIX.    My problem is after about 20 minutes. my connection speed is slower than the previous 56K modem. I have to constantly repair the IP address just to stay online when the settings are set to AUTO FIND the IP address, gateway server and DNS servers. If I set these manuely I am always constantly disconnected and it is a repair click without end for the IP address.

  Hi RedskinsBnG,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         You get the error message?

  ·         He has already worked?

  Follow these methods.

  Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

  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 do not 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 during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2: Follow these steps:

  Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

  Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode with networking, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the link step 7 to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

  Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

• WRT54G2 v1 wireless connection problem

  I installed the router yesterday and after two tests, but I have the internet connection.  I couldn't go wireless then or today.  I tried many times today, and my status says all OK.  I removed the ethernet cable from my PC because he said everything's fine, then lost internet connection!

  When I try to fix wireless according to the Advisor, he said no adapter found wireless!  I have a jack, which is wired for a buzzing doorbell system and wonder if this is the problem.  (I had problems with my magicJack when I moved here and just got a landline phone because of problems with this Jack two weeks ago!)   Could there be problems of incompatibility between the wiring in the plug and the router?  With the exception of the wireless connection everything works fine!  Help, please!

  Thank you!

  I think that your computer has installed wireless network card.

  Contact the vendor of your computer and see if you have a wireless network card installed properly on your computer. If the wireless card is not installed on your computer, you will need to get a wireless adapter.

• WRT54GL Wireless connection problem

  Hey guys... I need somehelp... I had a problem with my connection Wireless for the past 2 months or so, so I kept this option disabled until today.  So, today, I started to reset the router to its factory default settings. Then, I created a new wireless connection, with WPA2 encryption.  My PC has managed to find the new network, but it does not connect to it for some reason any. He tells me that it cannot establish a connection. The power of the wireless signal shows full bars, so I know this isn't a problem... I emptied the wireless connection profiles that were previously saved on the computer, in the case which had nothing to do with this... (the new network name, I chose is different then my only previous anyway..)

  However, the most important thing is, I can connect to the router via wired ethernet... connections it is just the wireless that will not allow to connect me... someone has any suggestions as to why this is happening? Thank you

  OK, I got it works!... just had to reset, and then connect to it without any security and then added security locations after he connected... Thank you!

• Wireless connection problem - "could not contact the primary DNS server.

  Hello. As of today, I had an interesting problem with my connection wireless home.

  I have DSL, and my router (an Actiontec GT704-WG, for reference), periodically decides to abandon the internet connection throughout the entire family. This includes our parent unit, as well as my lap top which relies on a wireless connection.

  Today, I noticed that my laptop was switched to 'Access Local.' only I went to check my modem, only to find all the lights on the side were, and the computer was working fine. I tried to reset the wireless connection, activating / disabling the wireless and switch off, Plug and reconnect to the network without wire, as well as re-booting my computer. None of these things worked.

  I also received and error message that tells me it: "could not contact the primary DNS (fe80::341b:6831:1247:6707 11%).

  I don't know what this means, although I checked to make sure that my ISP address connects well, and as far as I can tell it is. I also checked everything that Microsoft suggested troubleshooting guides, nothing helps.

  I don't know if that makes a difference, but I noticed to my lap top more close to the router, the connection would come periodically power on and off. Also, these problems started occurring after that I installed and then uninstalled Firefox. I use Internet Explorer, but I wanted to try Firefox.

  Also, my computer is an application of Toshiba Satellite L305-S5944, running Vista Home Basic, I believe.

  I hope I've provided enough information.

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your router > make sure you have the latest Firmware in Vista for it.

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for it last network adapters Vista drivers > download/install the.

  Try without commitment TCP/IPv6:

  If you still have internet connection probs, one thing to try is the separation of the TCP/IPv6 (which is done by going to network connection > right click > properties > it uncheck > OK.)

• T61 wireless connectivity problem

  I have a laptop T61 and the problem is that wireless connectivity decreases after every 2 minutes. This happens when the laptop is running on battery and power cable is not connected to the laptop. Connectivity goes down for 5 seconds and automatically resumes.

  In the hardware system menu Device Manager in the Control Panel, make a right click on the wifi adapter, select properties and there should be a tab where you can specify if the device can be turned off to save energy. Clear the check box turn off the device to save power. The device then remains on even when the computer is in stanby so it will stop your battery more quickly.

• DeskJet 3050 J610a - unexpected wireless connection problem.

  Running:

  10.7.4 MacOSX

  HP software: HP_Lion_Ink_SW_v12.13.17

  Printers: Deskjet 3050 J610a worked perfectly via a wireless connection

  MacBook5, 1 Intel Core 2 Duo, while I had been with HP Software HP_Installer_DJF4100_v9.7.1, which has been * no * intended for this printer, but I was able to "ADD" the printer Deskjet 3050 through preferences system, through the HP Socket,

  [Recklessly] looking for a more "functional" configuration, I looked at HP support and found that a specific software was released for computers running "Lion".

  So I uninstalled the previous DJF4100 software, restarted the computer and installed the new software and drivers for Lion as described above.

  Now the printer Deskjet 3050 J610a appears in the network of the computer under "devices" as

  "HPJ610a.047DED", Type: computer network computer. It is also detected with.

  ' Security: no ', while my Wi - Fi throughout the House network is encrypted with WPA/WPA2 Personal.

  I could of course decline on the previous software and configuration, but before that I would like to understand why this new software, which was released by HP for Mac computers running Lion behaves in such a way, why does the printer as a standalone device (which she has never done it before).

  As I said, before I regress to the previous configuration, using a software program that initially is not required by the printer or by the operating system, I greet all the information and suggestions.

  I need the wireless connection!

  Thanks in advance.

  Okay, well, I think that a different router can only solve this problem dead.  Consider an Apple Airport Terminal.

  If you connect your Mac on the network 'JPJ610a.047DED', this is a direct link between your Mac and printer wireless (not involving only the D-link).  So, naturally, you shouldn't be able to get on the Internet with this arrangement.a

  When you run the HP software (Finder - go to Applications-> HP-> -> printer software installation &) it will allow you to connect your printer directly to your network with the temporary use of a USB cable.  He who does not?

• Windows 7 wireless connection problem

  I just bought a brand new Alienware m17x and all drivers are up to date... .IM with broadcom wireless network adapter. The strange thing is that last night I was on the internet for several hours without any problem using the wireless, but this morning iwas unable to use my wireless internet access. This has happened several times now. Sometimes it says "not connected - no available connections" and sometimes he says "not connected connections are available" when she says, links, I try to connect to the network, but it says "unable to connect to the network. The only time wherever I was able to connect to wireless internet, was when my computer is automatically connected to my wireless network without me having to select the network and attempt to connect. I read things about windows 7, with a mode of "sleeper" for wireless connections or something, and that can be the cause of it and that it is better to turn off or downgrade to xp. I am really frustrated because I am not able to connect wirelessly and I hope you guys can help me find a solution.

   

  Guide to correctly troubleshoot wireless M17x
  with Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card
  by Glzmo

  Since many new Alienware M17x all powerful users, especially those who use Windows 7 as operating system there are various problems with their Wi - Fi connection and post threads asking how their difficulty over and over again, I decided to write this guide to show them how to solve these issues properly Commons. The solutions in this guide were created and designed for 64-bit Windows 7, but they may also work in Windows Vista, although these problems were experienced by users of Windows 7 mainly in the past. It could very well be that the problems start occurring in Vista as well with the new drivers and Windows updates.

  I. may not connect to the wireless network and or see the wireless adapter when the Ethernet cable is disconnected
  If you sometimes or always unable to connect to the wireless network, cannot connect to the wireless network when the Ethernet cable is disconnected, unable to connect to a wireless network unless you restart once to get this work and other weird problems to be unable to connect to a wireless network continue with section II. Otherwise, continue with section II..

  Sleep of a.i. Disable on disconnect device
  Some new Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a function called sleep device to disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the card Ethernet to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it is buggy and thus kill the wireless connection as well.
  Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Ethernet Nvidia card:
  1. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
  2 double-click network adapters.
  3 double click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (Yes, that's indeed wired Ethernet adapter).
  4 click on the Advanced tab.
  5 select sleep on disconnect device.
  6 set the value to disabled.
  7 click OK and wireless should work again (may require a reboot later, but probably not).

  I.b. install different drivers (older) who do not have the device sleeping on disconnect feature.
  The above does not work or if you are not comfortable with these drivers, follow these steps (if step A.i. was successful, you will not need to follow these steps). Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding:
  1. click the Windows Start button in the taskbar.
  2 click on Control Panel.
  3 click on uninstall a program.
  4 in the list, double-click Nvidia drivers.
  5. Mark Remove only the following.
  6 in the box below, only check the Nvidia Network driver.
  7 click Remove and follow the uninstall instructions.
  8 restart the system, if you are prompted to.
  9 download another (older) driver from Nvidia.
  10 install the old driver.
  11 when asked what drivers you want to install, select only the network driver.
  12 follow the installation instructions and restart your system if prompted.

  II. Low or fluctuating wireless connection speeds
  If you have problems with WiFi low connection speeds (such as rates decline over time, the speeds are much lower than they should be, network lag/stutter in online games, loss of light packets, loss of internet connection as LAN works and other weird things) or speeds of fluctuating wildly without apparent reason wireless connection install the version of the Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8 drivers instead of the standard Broadcom drivers. All older drivers will usually cause the speed of connection under normal. Note, however, that you may need to install the driver manually via Device Manager as the pilot was not released for another laptop and is not officially available to the M17x yet - that's why the installer won't work. Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding.
  Here is a step by step how manually install the driver:
  1. download the drivers Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8.
  2 check out the R29128.exe file using an extraction utility like WinRAR or just run it and quit the installation program.
  3. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
  4 double-click network adapters.
  5 double-click the Broadcom 802.11n network adapter entry.
  6 click on the driver tab.
  7 click the button Update driver .
  8 click Browse my computer for driver software.
  9 click on Let me take form a list of drivers for devices on my computer.
  10 click the disk provided .
  11 click Browse.
  12. select the folder that you extracted the drivers you just downloaded in step 1. in.
  13 select the subfolder DRIVER_US (if you are in the United States), DRIVER_JP (if you are in the Japan) or DRIVER_ROW (if you are in the rest of the world), according to the region you are in.
  14 click on the Open button.
  15 click OK.
  16 select the driver that says Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card of the list (you may have to scroll down to see - it presents itself as second to the last in the list for me).
  17 click on the Next button.
  18 you will get a warning that the driver that you are about to install is not compatible with your hardware. Ignore the warning and proceed with the driver installation.
  19 restart your system if prompted to do so.
  20 your new driver should now be properly installed and the speed of your wireless connection in the order.

  III. If all else fails (or you've just had enough of boredom arising from the Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card)
  Replace the Dell Wireless 1510 problem with a card half-mini Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 A/G/N (use the bluetooth as the third antenna antenna or buy you an additional antenna for this). It works very well with the M17x, has better connection speeds to strips of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (this last has speeds really bad on the Broadcom/1510), it has not required to jump through the hoops to make it work properly and much more, it works with standard drivers and Intel maintains their drivers up to date. It is also much more reliable and faster as well, especially on the 5 GHz band, but also on the 2.4 GHz band.

  For more information on the subject of tweaking the settings of your Dell Wireless card, check out the official setting advanced properties: Dell Wireless WLAN Card User Guide.

  I hope that this guide will help you solve your Wi - Fi connection and allow you to enjoy speeds of complete wireless connection on your laptop Alienware M17x.

  Addendum: Quick links in this Guide

  Driver wireless Dell 5.60.18.8 version
  Download the driver for the Mini PCI Dell Wireless 1510 card used in this guide.

  Broadcom 943xx Wireless Driver version 5.60.18.41
  Download the latest Broadcom driver as an alternative to the Dell a little older driver who may or may not solve the problems more.
