Continual loss of wireless connection with Satellite C660

Hello

I hope that someone out there might be able to help.

I've had my Satellite C660 for about 18 months now. Since the first day we had continual problems connecting to the wireless network. It connects but then lost the connection again a few minutes later, and then after a few more minutes, he reconnects. And the circle continues. An Ethernet cable didn't improve things.

Initially, the problem is solved by leaving the laptop computer charger plugged, randomly that solved the problem and that is not ideal, I went with it because it worked.

We have new broadband services and the router installed and the problem came back now, but this time the fix of power cable does not work, and once again an Ethernet cable does not work.

The laptop is now continues to lose the connection, and it's very frustrating. I have 2 other laptops from Dell, 2 tablets, and they all work very well, never losing connection.

Can someone give me it please advice on what could cause this problem and how to fix it (easily!).

I can't wait to hear your thoughts and thank you in advance for your help.

Glenn

> Initially solved the problem by letting the laptop computer charger plugged, randomly that solved the problem and that is not ideal, I went with it because it worked.

I think WiFi disconnects due to energy savings.
As you say, linking the main specifications address the issue. I think because of the connection of the AC adapter, the laptop switches to another profile of power where Wlan energy saving is disabled.

Therefore, I recommend to change the power profile that is used in battery mode.
-> Panel-> power option choose the power profile that you use in battery mode
Now, select advanced to change power settings
You will find an option called settings of the adapter wireless (or something like that)
The mode option of battery and AC adapter must use the performance parameters

  • Loss of wireless connection on Satellite Pro L10

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L10, with wireless capabilities built-in. I recently bought an ADSL Modem Belkin Wireless G Router. My desktop PC can connect to the internet via cable and cannot therefore have my laptop. However, when I connect to the internet via wireless connection my laptop sometimes everything stops. This isn't something to signal that I'm only about 2 feet from the router, and it is not that I can't connect to the internet, as I am on this at the moment. Is that in a few minutes, the connection will be lost and I can't seem to find what I can do about it.

    The other problem is that when I click the icon at the bottom right of the screen, the "Wireless network connection" window opens. Here, it shows the wireless network I'm trying to connect and it shows with a strong signal, but it is almost always said not 'connected '. He said never 'connected', even when I am connected to the net and surf away!

    Anyone has any ideas at all?

    It sounds a little to the Wireless LAN card is unable to obtain a valid IP address.
    These interruptions may occur for different reasons.
    But especially the new version of the driver Wlan and/or Bios should help resolve these interruptions.

    What card Wlan do you use?
    If you are using the Intel Wlan card you can also visit the Intel Web site to download the most recent version of the WLan driver.
    Please also compare the BIOS version available on the Tosh site with the version preinstalled on your laptop.

    Wlan card properties contain some useful options that could improve the quality of the connection. Energy saving options should also be required to check other functions in the tab advanced and disabled.

  • Problem with wireless connection with HP 3070 B611

    I have a router with the IP address 192.168.0.1 and printer HP 3070 B611, whose 192.168.223.1 IP address, so the wireless connection with the printer fails.

    How to change IP address of the printer in the 192.168.0.XXX range?

    It seems that you are on a network other than your router. Reset your network settings on your DEFAULT PRINTER. Connect the printer to the router again, make sure it is the same network name.

    You can also unplug your router for 15 seconds and plug back in and then try to re - connect the printer to the router again.

    When I use my laptop + - every hour my laptop disconnects Internet and immediately connects again.
    My computer is often used for playing games online and after 3 weeks, it's starting to annoy me, because I need to restart the whole game etc...

    Now, I have already updated all my WLAN drivers, I have the latest version of the BIOS update, and I adapted my energy profile settings to make sure that my computer is not turning off my wireless connection.

    I really think that the problem is on my computer because I have the same problem on 2 different networks.
    Don't know what to do, I hope someone can help me.

  • Problems with Satellite C660 wireless

    My day 7 old Satellite C660 is constantly does not connect to wireless internet. It connects then stops loading web pages. I don't get no access or limited access note on the tray icon of system, but when I display the available networks it shows as connected with good resistance.

    Check if the BIOS update is available.
    Only thing you can do is update the BIOS in the hope that everything will be OK.
    I put t really know what else you can try.

    Did you perhaps tested WLAN connectivity by router s friend?

    Hello

    There is also a WLan switch on the side of s for laptop.
    This switch must be activated also.

    Please check this!

    In addition, you can consult the WLan card properties in Device Manager.
    There should be an Advanced tab.

    There are different parameters, you should check out. For example, you can choose different WiFi standards such as 802.11 A B G, etc.

  • Constant faults with satellite C660

    At the present time, I am more than just a little ticked off so I will try my best not to go off on a mug shot.

    Then I decided I would buy a laptop from Argos, I chose the Satellite C660 which cost me £300, and the first was faulty within weeks, it wouldn't read the Wifi card and I could not even anywhere near update even if that was the problem. So I had a second, worked well for 2-3 months, and then at the end of July it suddenly wrong.

    The error was with the hard disk, the hard disk had some how becomes corrupt, but firstly I decided I would buy recovery disks that cost £30 and took almost a week to arrive.

    Ultimately the recovery disks did not solve my problem so I rang the customer Service and they told me I could either send for repair, get a new hard drive sent me or send it to argos and get a replacement.

    Not even a month on the line and the SAME problems arose. Now I'm not sure that my anti virus was silly and allowed a virus to sneak into systems and corrupt once again, the concert stick which has been a cause of the second break was NOT used after to be sure.

    The anti-virus was Virgin Media Security Center, and even if some errors which is is past that have not been to painful difficulty it has worked well.

    But today, I uninstalled a program called Ventrilo so that I could reinstall it due to the fact that suddenly, she works correctly (suspect last night could be the beginning of my laptop once again to go to hell) last night, I used a Web site to see how I could completely remove ventrillo, and I followed the steps.

    As soon as I deleted the file ventrilo BAM the laptop went crazy! I rebooted, it don't think it would take just a reboot... once it is loaded, no background would show, a lot of error messages and I aircraft to the system restore 3 times. So I decided I want to reformat my laptop.

    That's where it went worse again, as soon as I entered the recovery disks the wrong hard drive shot, he began to reformat error only 5 seconds later saying no recovery of files found.

    Seriously toshiba, how much more portable that I am will have to be repaired or replaced before finally getting one that works 100%, why should not only claim a first thing in the morning, because ive got the reception has not been able to buy 3 years extra warranty (fortunately I still have 1 year of warranty) so I could do it now. im sick and tired of having a new piece of computer toshiba laptop for a short time then suddenly go faulty, especially when before you download anything, I make sure that I have downloaded to ensure responsible for anti-virus as his protégé.

    My moms laptop is HP and is 4 years old and STILL works very well, Yes, of course it heat up too much otherwise is based on a good surface, but still, how does a cell phone 4 years compared to a who apparently 3 months old laptop can work BETTER, is not what he supposed to be the other way around?

    EDIT: I just went through the forums, it seems that this brand has SO much go wrong with it in the first 3 pages only.

    Hello Steelworkers

    Sorry to hear (read) all that but what about?
    It's really funny in our life. With some things, we are more than satisfied and happy, but sometimes we just out of luck.

    Toshiba sells millions of laptops and probably thousands of Satellite C660 and there is always the risk that some of them are troublemakers. It is with other electronic products, cars, different machines and so on.

    I know you won t hear it but your only chance is to stay in contact with Toshiba service provider and if all goes well they will help you with all these issues.

    I must also say that over the last decade I have use Toshiba notebooks only. I had a few small problems too but it was always repaired quite quickly and I was able to continue my work.
    When you analyze markets for laptop, you will notice that the products are quite similar. You can't tell A manufacturer has much better quality than the manufacturer B. The level of prices is the same and the quality as well. What makes the difference is the hardware configuration and design, but all the rest is quite similar.

    One last thing: I agree with you on the old notebooks. I'm also sure that older models were much better, but what I can say for Toshiba tool Mr. I really missed some old models like Satellite 5200 or Satellite P20 of Mr. I had two of them, and I can say that they were ahead of the development and design.

    Bye and good luck.

  • How to connect by Satellite C660-26Z to TV?

    My laptop Satellite C660-26Z doesn't have a HDMI port plug,
    so, how can I connect a laptop cable to use my TV screen.

    Maybe, I need to use decision-making (VGA) port external monitor on my laptop with a special connection cable? Let me know, thank you, Terry.

    Hello

    It depends on the available TV ports.
    Check the ports that are supported by the TV. Recommend to read also the TV manual for more information on the available ports.

    Fact is that this laptop supports just a RGB (VGA) output port. No HDMI or DVI port is available. So you can use just a VGA cable
    Now the question is which port can be used as part of VGA cable.

  • Problems of sudden wireless connectivity with Qosmio G10

    I had a Qosmio G10 for almost 3 years now, and at least WRT my wireless connection, everything was fine until a few weeks ago.

    Little by little I started to lose the ability to connect to a WLAN after getting out of the mode standby (Win XP MCE): the computer wouldn't connect to my WIFI and would keep erratic jumps among the various wireless networks available in the neighborhood, without connect because they are all fixed.

    Initially, the problem could be solved by restarting the computer and the router.

    Now even that no longer works. I see either all local wireless networks, including mine, without being able to connect, or I see no WLAN at all.

    Windows status bar icons both ConfigFree show the small red cross and the system didn't budge. When I see available wireless networks, I'm trying to connect to my own, but then the computer attempts to connect forever. If I order for Toshiba ConfigFree * _For unchecking the checkbox in the properties window_ wireless * and I'm trying to connect manually my WLAN to the computer by dragging a link the said application to another provider program is in control.

    I have tried everything that came to my mind, the repair connection, enable/disable WZC, install new drivers for the Intel 2200BG, install the new version of ConfigFree... There is obviously some kind of conflict, but I do not understand what it can be.

    I don't know what else to do before decide to reinstall new Windows (oh dear oh dear). Moreover, my ADSL Modem/Router is always the same. The link has been dealt with by WPA/TKIP. Everything works fine with the other 2 computers and a phone with WiFi.

    Said by the way and quite surprisingly, a member of the family in another country began just having exactly the same problem on a Toshiba Satellite A110. In this case, the cause may be associated with the change of a Philips to a Linksys modem/router (either DHCP;) WPA/TKIP unchanged; everything works with another laptop in the same household)

    Can someone please help?

    Why use the CnfigFree tool to connect to the WLan?
    According to your message, you are using the Intel card.
    I would recommend so either use the Intel ProSet WLan client configuration tool or the clean option of Windows!

    > try to manually connect my WLAN to the computer by dragging a link the said application to another provider program is in control
    I assume that this error message is displayed because the ConfigFree is always chosen as tool to configure the WiFi network.

    However, the new installation of the OS may not be bad idea due to the fact that everything would be set up again.

    Why you n t check in the first step!
    You should check the WLan card availability in Device Manager. Under network adapters, you should see the wireless network card.
