Direct Wireless does not not on Macbook Pro

I configured my 2540 Deskjet via HP Setup and activated wireless Direct via the printer Web pages. The printer implements the Direct wireless network. On Macbook Pro, it appears in the list of available Wi - Fi networks. However, I can't connect to it: once I have selected the network, the Mac OS Wi - Fi icon in the menu bar displays the animation 'connection' for a few tens of seconds and stops finally with an exclamation point to report a problem.

Tried with password or no password. Same behavior.

Tried to disable IPv6 (in the HP utility that the printer has no user interface for this) according to the http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Wireless-Direct-not-working/m-p/4812403...  Still not connect.

Tried a Macbook Pro 2011 and a Macbook Pro retina 2014, both running Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2,"limited nothing works.

Mystery solved! The only thing I have not tried actually had to print... that works! Even though the icon from Mac OS X W - Fi still shows the animation 'connection' or the 'problem' exclamation point.

Perhaps MacOSX fair signals that the wifi does not connect to the internet or the likes. The Wi - Fi connection itself works, also with password and with IPv6 active.

  • Satellite Pro L40 Wireless does not and wont stop correctly

    Hello
    just got a Satellite Pro L40-15 1 week ago and it's been downhill.

    The Wireless does not work (and yes the switch is activated and drivers installed). Sometimes windows recognizes no device when I boot.

    And when I stopped he said blocking down, but crashes just on this screen.

    Now, I'm an advanced user, so I've tried many things. Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    As a first step, I would recommend to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and renew the operating system.
    Then update the Vista of the State. I mean to install patches and fixes Vista all published.

    Check this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//thread.jspa?MessageID=107665

    Here you can see that a missing patches can have a bad influence on the wireless network card and the entire operating system!

  • Satellite Pro 6100 Wireless does not work after restoring from HARD drive

    After that restore disks for installing a new HD and use and to update XP sp2, the Wireless does not work and if the card is installed XP hangs then works in fits and starts. If the card not in place, not bad at all.

    Booting from a Linux CD, the card works perfectly! I assume that the driver is the problem. The wireless card is the original, an Agere MPC13A-20/R, with Toshiba p/n PA317U-1MPC.

    I have found some drivers Agere, but am not sure

    (1) if they are correct
    (2) how to install since the machine works in a way limited with the card in place.

    Any advice?

    Hello

    I checked the page of the pilot and the only available for Windows XP WLan driver is the driver of v.1.11.108 Agere.

    (1) just try to install this driver. If the driver is not correct or is not compatible, then windows will not install the driver and you will receive a notification. You just have to try

    (2) generally you may reinstall the driver from the Device Manager. Open network controller tree, and then you can reinstall the driver.

    But this is only possible if the windows started successfully

    PS: Have you checked the information of Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update on the page of the Toshiba driver.
    I discovered that you need to update several utilities if you have installed SP2 on this laptop.

    Hello, my name is Alex. I have a problem with Toshiba L40 - 17 t wireless driver.

    So 3 weeks ago I got windows 7, WiFi worked fine, had no problems with it.
    Recently I reinstalled windows 7, and now my wireless does not work. It is said that no connection is available, even if the distance between my laptop and the router is 10 cm.

    I tried windows 7 driver newest---> does not
    I tried windows vista a newer driver---> does not
    I tried the windows xp compatibility mode---> does not

    Lucky my local network works, and I can't access internet, but I also want to use the Wi - Fi function.

    My wireless card is Realtek RTL8187B.

    I tried the drivers from realtek site too, they are not no longer works.

    However, I remember before you reinstall windows 7, I looked at the version of the driver and its date was around 2008. I have not found all the drivers for Toshiba L40 - 17 t, difficult 2008. I hope someone can help me solve my problem.

    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

    > I tried drivers from realtek site too, they are not no longer works.
    Is this means that wireless network adapter is not installed and recognized properly in the Device Manager?
    In the Manager of devices-> network cards, you should see the wireless network card. If there is no yellow exclamation point and then the wireless network card is installed correctly and that the driver is working

    > I have windows 7 ultimate, wireless worked fine, had no problems with it.
    Recently I reinstalled windows 7, and now my wireless does not work. It is said that no connection is available, even if the distance between my laptop and the router is 10 cm.

    This suggests that there is s configuration problem.

    First of all; Are you sure that the WiFi was enabled? Using FN + F8, you can enable the wireless network adapter. If the FN buttons would not work, then you must install VAP (value added package) and Flash memory card Support utility. If you didn t find these tools in the pilot L40, please check the new generation of portable devices such as L500 or newer.

    On the other hand; are firewalls, antivirus software pre-installed that could affect the connectivity? Check it; I've been reading about similar problems, and finally a firewall (like zonealarm) was the problem!

    Following; Do not forget that you have configured the wireless correctly; use the good encryption and password; for testing purposes, you can disable the security settings on your router and may attempt to connect without the use of encryption.

  • Satellite L500D-163 - Wireless does not

    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite L500D-163 (with card wireless 802.11 b/g/n)
    Router: Pirelli Discus (having support 802.11 b/g).

    Hello

    I bought a portable Toshiba, Satellite L500D-163, two days ago.

    Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux 10.04, the Wireless does not work. It shows all the available wireless network neighborhood, including mine, but it connects to my network.

    I also have an Acer laptop that connects to my network wireless without problem.

    I placed the Toshiba laptop side by side with my Acer laptop and tried all the options:
    802 11b, 802.11 g - WEP, WPA, WPA2
    with simple passwords of the style: "00000000".

    and SSID wireless to the router changed something as simple as "abcde".
    Computer Acer laptop connected without problem in all cases, but Toshiba didn't connect.

    In Windows 7, the connection information appears as connected but 'Limited' and the software Toshiba says that the laptop is not getting an IP address.

    I manually entered the IP address (192.168.1.2), subnet mask (255.255.255.0) and the default gateway (192.168.1.1 router =) below the configuration in Windows 7 wireless card, but it did not work.

    The laptop must support Toshiba, or y at - it an incompatibility with my router?

    Thank you.

    Great! Thanks for that!

    Hi Angad,

    Welcome to Lenovo Community!

    According to the request, we understand that you are facing problem with wireless does not not on your laptop G50-70.

    If Device Manager check the wireless device is detected, also check in the BIOS if the WIFI is enabled.

    Check if there is no exclamatory mark in wireless devices.

    Also check if there is software installed access connection.

    I hope this helps. Post back if the problem persists!

  • Wireless does not illuminate. DV6000, vista.

    Hey.

    Last night my Wi - Fi worked great. This morning it won't turn.

    The switch on the front of the laptop is turned 'on', but the light is orange, indicating its judgment.

    The HP wireless assistant does not swing top/load.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the wireless assistant as well as Broadcom W/LAN drivers, but still having the same problem.

    I did a system restore 3 times, each time being a later date, but still having the same problem.

    The internet is fine. IM using my laptop right now via a cable ethernet and shes works fine, but the Wireless does not work.

    Updates Windows and HP have no new update for me.

    I just sent an email to HP about this problem, about 10 minutes ago.

    My guess is that the HP wireless assistant is at fault, but I can't seem to fix the problem.

    Everything else on the laptop works very well.

    Any help/info would be greatly appreciated!
