  • Unable to connect to other wireless networks

    RE: Unable to connect to other wireless networks

    • My computer is a HP Pavilion dv7 1232nr Entertainment Center
    • My OS is Windows Vista 64 bit
    • I have installed many things over the past year, but know that at some point, I was able to get on free Wi - Fi in hotels

    I am able to connect to my network, but when I try to connect to others, I'm unable to do. I have their password and my computer SHOWS I have a connection, but actually I'm not. When I try to connect to the Internet, the server is not found. I called the support/supplier for the last network owner and he told me that even if I "thought" I was online, I really wasn't. He said that it is probably a router configuration for that person that does not correspond to my computer. As I was just visiting, of course I didn't mess with their router. This happened to me twice, with once the provider is the same as mine, but the only way I could get connected with a hard link.

    So far, the only thing I did is to see if I could connect to free wireless (municipal library) and was unsuccessful. I think the problem is with my settings, but am not sure. I have to be careful to change anything because I can't afford to lose my connection at home because my job depends on it.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for any advice you might be able to share.

  • 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.

  • Pavilion p6-2310: can no longer connect to our wireless network

    All of a sudden our PC no longer has a connection to our wireless network.  We looked at the list of installed programs and it shows Ralink RT539OR 802.11bgn Wi - Fi adapter has having been installed today - but we have no install anything today.  Is it a coincidence that shows like this and all of a sudden we can access our wireless network?  How do we get working again that it is necessary as soon as possible?  Thanks for any help.

    Thank you.  I'm like a dog with a bone when it comes to these things and not rest until I get solved.  So, I found something in the knowledge base of the forum who pointed me in the right direction.  Using Device Manager we uninstalled and reinstalled the card wifi, and bingo, it works again.  Ceases to amaze me, but how a computer works fine 1 minute and then the next time that you are never going to use it, boom, something does not work.  And you did nothing to change anything so that it does not work.

  • Satellite L300 - unable to connect to the wireless network

    I have a NETGEAR router and a Toshiba Satellite L300 laptop HP DV2000.

    The HP can connect to my wireless network and also my neighbors network next door (which is not secure)
    However, the L300 can only connect to the network of my nextdoor neighbour even if it can 'see' the NETGEAR network.

    I changed the security from WPA to WEP up to now no security at all, and it seems not to matter.
    The strange thing is that my L300 CAN connect to a wireless network, but not mine!

    And my wireless network works as I can connect from my HP laptop.
    On the L300 it shows 5 bars on the NETGEAR is not a problem of weak signal.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Try changing the WLAN settings on your router. Compare the WLAN settings on the settings of your laptop and the router.

    Test it with standard B on both devices.
    I mean if your laptop can see neighbours WLAN card wireless network in the laptop must be OK.
    I really thing all is due to wrong WLAN settings.

    Play around with that sort of thing.

  • HP 7520: HP 7520 will not connect to the wireless network

    There is some additional information to

    http://forums.Xfinity.com/T5/home-networking-router-WiFi/HP-7520-will-not-connect-to-wireless-networ...

    on this issue.

    Have several APs for a single wireless network allows the printer foolish law.  (Not a Repeater, a second AP connected to the local network with the same configuration of network for security, etc.).

    I solved this problem.  In accordance with the discussion on the link, the problem is that the printer cannot connect to a wireless network if there is greater than 1 for a wireless network (SSID) name wireless access point.

    This thread has had several useful suggestions, but what finally solved the problem, it's the second point has access to a mode where I can create a 'virtual' access point and, above all, a SSID associated.

    Note that not all access points or routers support virtual APs, but this function seems to be more common over time.  Older models is not able to do that.  However, a new access point is sometimes cheaper than a new printer.

    If you do not understand the jargon in the procedure below, I recommend that you find someone who does, then they can do it for you.

    Solution:

    1. On one of the wireless access on the network, create an a new virtual AP with a slightly different name SSID (for example < name of the network - > _1), on the same VLAN (usually VLAN 1).  You may need to put the AP in "multiple AP mode" or something similar, and then restart the AP.  All other settings (DHCP, security, mixed mode b/g/n, etc.) must be the same for the new SSID.
    2. Run the printer Wireless Setup and connect it to this new SSID
    3. Confirm that the printer can be seen by other devices on the network

    Tips:

    • Check the security is the same as the original SSID, Alternatively you can create a vector of insecurity in your network.  Do not WEP-128 when the other SSID uses WPA2 AES, for example.
    • The AP I had had several resets to make it work because of the mode and parameter changes.
    • If you connect the SSID but cannot connect to or be seen by anything on your network, check the new SSID/AP is in the same VLAN as the original.
    • Because the printer is not roaming, and the speed is not a problem for me, I used the access point that could support this solution, which is deeper and slower than my primary AP.  I have not noticed any problems.

    The printer has been reliable on the wireless now on the new SSID, 48 hours.

    I have not upgraded any software on a client of the printer (PC, Mac, phones).

    I think that it is a positive confirmation that the problem is with the implementation of the printer of the stack of network and not with the driver or client software on remote devices.  The 802.11 protocols provide for a network name (SSID) wireless with several access points using different MAC addresses.  I suggest this HP look into this as a potential bug with their network printer for the 7520 protocols stack.

  • I can't connect to my wireless network.

    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!

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

    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!

  • HP ENVY 4520: Unable to connect to the wireless network

    My new printer is not connecting to my wireless network.  My router, it sees and accepts its letters of nobility, but then the printer is connected.  It will be displayed on my network for a second or two, but never stays there.

    I printed the "RESULTS of the WIRELESS NETWORK TEST" and he tells me that "the MAC address filtering can be activated on your wireless router that can prevent your HP printer to connect to your network without wire during installation.  MAC address filtering is disabled.

    I have connected many other features to my wireless network by pressing the WPS button and it begins to appear, but does not stick.  I also tried to manually enter the password without success (and the WPA key).
