• Internet connection down, windows 8, reset wireless network adapter

  I am running windows 8 on a computer laptop dv6 HP Envy and my internet connection keeps falling every few minutes.  This is due to the wireless network card and I have to reset the connection manually each time.  Even plugged into my modem, the connection drops.  I had my ISP reset the modem, tested and it works fine.  My connection is still down because of my network card.  Help, please.

  If you run the dism.exe / online/cleanup-image /restorehealth it may very well be able to fix the corrupted files. If necessary reruns sfc / scannow.  Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

• Satellite L500-13z - Windows 7 does not recognize wireless network adapter

  Hello

  The Windows 7 RC Device Manager does not recognize my wireless network adapter (for example: Atheros, Intel or Realtek). I tried to install all the Toshiba support drivers, but none of them work:

  After installation, they ask me to connect the unit to my computer (of course it is still on the motherboard!).

  =>, Is there a way to know what is my Wifi adapter?

  that one failed: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7201PO000SR01.htm (this is the only Word to say "network adapter" with a yellow exclamation point).

  -Online someone knows when will be released Windows 7 drivers on the website?

  Hello

  Before you begin to install all drivers WLAN you can find on the Toshiba site you must make sure that wireless network card, you have exactly. You can check in the Device Manager-online properties-online Details of the local network adapter device.
  Need you an information like PCI\VEN_XXXX & DEV_XXXX

  If you have based this information you are looking for with these terms on this site in order to determine the exact WLAN card:
  http://www.PCIDatabase.com/

  After that, you can download the driver appropriate for your laptop. Before installing, you must uninstall all other versions and restart the laptop.
  Also, make sure that the WIFI is enabled with the hardware switch and FN + F8.

• ConfigFree: windows pop up message: sellers application is controlling the wireless network adapter

  Hello

  When I draw a line from nearby wireless networks (with or without WEP security) to the laptop in the middle icon,
  a popup message with the text: the provider application is controlling the wireless card.
  Does anyone know what this message or where I can get the answer to this question?

  After clicking on it you may see far (only the 'ok' button is available), the connecting line with the laptop wireless network disconnects after
  a few seconds.

  Thanks a lot for helping me...

  Hello

  In my opinion this message appears because a 3rd WLan utility configures and controls the WiFi connection!
  There are different possibilities:
  The laptop uses the Intel wireless network adapter and the Intel Proset utility configures the WLan
  Or
  The laptop uses the Atheros WLan card and Atheros Client utility configures the WLan
  Or
  The windows have the option has been enabled and do this job.

  In this case ConfigFree application cannot configure and control the WiFi connection!

• Blitzz Super G PCI wireless network adapter works only in Windows XP SP3

  I looked for answers to this, and it seems that all they are pointing to the same question. Grave wireless network adapter failed after the Service Pack 3 update. My question is the same thing, I can't get the updated drivers (I have the original installation software, but they face STOP Installation) at some point, the OS would hurt identify the device that the atheros wireless network adapter and it worked but now nothing. Right now, I would like some clarification.

  1. how to fix this?
  2. why Microsoft has not fixed the problem? If it worked in SP2, why don't you just restore the defective file. I understand the WLANAPI. DLL is the main culprit and yet once wonder why neglect?

• Changing the settings of the WLAN with an Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter running on a Vista computer

  How can I set the preset wlan on ONE for an Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter running on a Vista computer.  Currently, the default is OFF and I need to use the Fn F1 to bring up the option to turn it on, Iwant my laptop to connect to my wireless router automatically without having to do that.

  Thank you

  Hi Cath.

  In most cases, it is a configuration in the BIOS of the laptop that will solve the wireless by card.

  Then start the laptop enter in BIOS and look for an entry that configure the wireless to be all the time card.

  Where necessary the manual or computer support site must have the necessary info.

• Wireless network adapter could not be activated

  My laptop also did EXACTLY the same thing in the morning today.
  No effect with the wireless on switch on the computer. The light is always red. Last night an automatic update that happened (update for windows Vista (KB955430) 09/05/2009 09:03), which cannot be deleted. I don't know if this problem is related with the update.

  My laptop is HP Pavilion dv6439nr.  Running Windows Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 1).  Wireless adapter is "broadcom wireless 802.11 b/g WLAN PCI" that is gone now.

  Windows network diagnostics shows "this computer doesn't have a card installed and configured wireless network."

  HP Home Network Center shows "Wireless status: disabled; When I try to enable wireless LAN, it shows "wireless network adapter could not be activated.

  I tried to scan and reinstall the driver but the device does not appear.

  The wireless router works fine with other laptops.

  If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Alboury,
  It seems at this point that your wireless network adapter has a hardware problem.  Check out this troubleshooting guide step by step on the HP Pavilion support web site.  If you can't get your active wireless card, you will need to contact HP or repair HP authorized repair for hardware Center.

• Satellite L - had wireless network adapter

  Unable to get a wireless connection. I checked in the Device Manager and the Realtek wireless network adapter had disappeared. Had already tried to update the driver, but I guess if the unit isn't here, he doesn't want a driver.

  Found one (I mean heritage?) Wireless network adapter Realtek by doing something that I don't really know anymore, but that doesn't seem to work and will not be an update of the driver. In addition, my USB ports do not seem to work; "does not recognize USB devices", so the wireless mouse does not work and now my DVD player does not read DVD, however seems to read CDs.

  All of these flaws could be connected in a very simple way I have not discovered yet? My computer is virtually unusable. He sends me crazy. I checked the updates of Windows and made only Toshiba many downloads etc. as I can for the last 2 years but nothing seems to work.

  Really really welcome ideas. It works on Vista.
  Thank you very much

  Hi bonce,.

  > have done as much as possible etc Toshiba downloads I can for the last 2 years
  And now you have a confused until the Windows installation where nothing works correctly of course if something doesn t work correctly you can take a driver update, but stop just install what you find. In the end, nothing will work, and your only option is to reinstall Windows because you are not able to remove all of these drivers. If you install or update a driver you really should know what you're doing!

  Anyway, if you still use the startup of the operating system pre-installed drive HARD or Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. This will restore the original with all the drivers and tools settings. Your laptop will be working properly after that.

  This is an accurate description on HARD drive recovery:

• Wireless network adapter is not installed and configured

  I have recently re installed windows vista for my laptop dell inspiron 1545. I am not able to connect to wireless internet, it says that the wireless network adapter is not installed and configured. How do I install it and where can I get the wireless network adapter. I have a cd or anything for it. Thank you

  You can get in trouble with your device drivers, firmware and/or software.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you shouldget from Dell for the wireless adapter at all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html. > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244617.

  The adapter is inside the laptop.  You don't need to do something with it to install it.  Install the drivers, firmware or software for it and your version of Vista from Dell (all that apply) "install".  You must then go to start / Control Panel / Network and sharing Center and configure the adapter with the appropriate parameters and to establish the appropriate network connections.  This will take place in settings required by your ISP, and maybe your router or modem (so you may need to contact them if you don't know the settings).

  Here are the procedures for Vista with Windows7 network layout that can help:http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Windows-7-Understanding-Network-Administration-Configuration.html.

• Dell Inspiron 1525 wireless network adapter

  Quite all right, I bought my Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I had a problem with it, and a "technician" incompetent deleted (!) Vista and installed XP. Now I finally had the time to reinstall Vista and everything is good, but I don't seem to be able to give life to the wireless network adapter. In fact, the applications and drivers that I downloaded seem even to see the wireless adapter, as if the equipment was not there. I'm really desperate because it's a vital function that I badly need, and my happiness to get finally reinstalled Vista has now turned into frustration, like the wireless was working with XP! Any help, please? I tried to download everything I could find at Dell, but nothing seems to work.

  Do you see an unknown network controller in Device Manager (right click my computer, manage)?  If Yes, what is the DEV and FRI ID for it (right click, properties, details tab, hardware in the menu ID drop-down)?

  My laptop is eligible free repair?

  Can I just send my adapter wireless for HP and ask them to send me a new?

  My wireless card is labelled as "AS #: 418572-001 SPS #: 441090-001. An Ebay search for "441090-001" returns several cards of the same branded wireless network than mine and identical to mine in appearance. Instead of trying to get HP to fix my laptop should I buy a new wireless adapter and install it myself?

  Users to read this, please answer the question if you have a relevant personal experience.
  I read of clients receiving computers repaired HP with new damage (http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1245913498963+28353475&threadId=1143379), likely incurred during transport or repair of HP. After receiving a HP laptop repair, have you seen new scratches, dents, cracks, or other damage?

  I have my HP laptop, works perfectly.

  To answer my own questions:

  Yes, my cell phone was eligible for a free repair.

  No, I couldn't send just the wireless network adapter (would have been a mistake anyway).

  No, HP has not damaged my laptop.

  I contacted HP and established that my laptop was entitled to repair to the title of "HP limited warranty extra Service. HP sent me a box with a prepaid FedEx label, and I sent them my laptop. Before sending to my HP laptop, I removed the hard drive; the low probability of my data get damaged was unacceptable; I have backed up my data, but that would have taken two days to USB data transfer speed. I got my laptop back to HP repair in the next few days and after a thorough inspection, I find no damage to the laptop caused by HP, if it was a lil dusty. For a while I thought I found a new crack loosed in a low service panels, but after looking at the photos I had taken before sending the laptop I found that the crack is not new, so Bravo to HP.

  With the laptop repaired, HP sent a document that details the "motherboard" and 'Thermal Pad' had been replaced. I was curious to know exactly what work had been done, so I called HP and asked questions about spare parts references. The "motherboard" was part number 10MBZZZ0TPJ, which a Google search has this part is also known as 443775-001 and it costs about $190 to replace. The "thermal Pad" had JXAT3001010 part number, which I have found no info on.

  CAVEAT! CAVEAT! NERD RANT!
  Frankly, when I first called HP on the problem, the person I spoke to kept implying that it was the motherboard that needed to be replaced NOT the wireless network adapter, and I thought it was absurd; much more likely that it was a problem of component. Now that I have the confirmation that it was the motherboard, I am quite concerned that in about two years I'm going to need a different motherboard, and the "HP limited warranty extra Service" warranty only lasts for 90 days from now. Motherboard failure should be the exception, not the norm! I have several computers that are nine and ten years OLD and works very well when properly proposed. I have my grandmother using a desktop Dell Optiplex 2000 computer to check his e-mail. I have a Mac Powerbook from 1999 that I emulate video games and I'm using a ThinkPad IBM in 2002 as a jukebox for my Entertainment Center. A few months ago I was repairing 9 old Dell Optiplex (2000 vintage) offices, on the job had a bad motherboard VGA video and a keyboard bad connection PS/2; failure motherboard 22% after nine years! For the motherboard to miss my DV6000 since 2007 is ridiculous.

  Call HP. They will probably fix your problem for free.

  Why you reinstall vista in the first place? Have you tried to solve the problem with your wireless network card?

  If you have lost wireless once (first occurrence), reinstalled vista to try to solve the problem has got back wireless, and started to update and still lost wireless (second instance) then I would agree this is probably a software problem. If losing wireless after that resettlement was only the first occurrence of losing wireless, then maybe you should try re-reinstall. The point at which you lost wireless have actual hardware failure, it all depends on if you can get wireless back, willingly or by force. I knew my hardware problem and not software because I had an installation of Windows 7 that I knew worked very well, but still he could see my wireless network card.

  In any case... Try calling HP. side of customer support call center jobs being outsourced in India, I must say that I am satisfied with the HP Technology Support; Although I'd be quite satisfied with the quality of their product!
