DV6-7210us envy force weak wireless

Atheros I'm a dv6-7210 with an AR9485 of Qualcomm Atheros 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter.  I am running windows 8.  I can connect to our wireless home network, but the signal strength is 2 bars when Iam less than 25 feet away. All other devices in the House have a higher power signal.  When I'm next to the router, it is at full power. Because soon, I get out of this room the signal strength decreases immediately. I can not connect when I'm other floor in the House.  Suggestions to improve the signal strength would be greatly appreciated, I've only had this laptop for 2 months.

  • HP dv6 7210us ENVY: ENVY Hp dv6 7210us motherboard

    My computer beeps at me almost whenever I'm working on it.  It's a beep distinctive high pitch and then a serious tone.  I also sometimes hear a click, but I don't remember if it's before, during or after the beeps (I think it was after the second beep).  Does anyone know the beep codes for the card mother (682180-501)?  Thank you

    Hello GLavergne... I'm sorry that you are having this problem with your ENVY dv6 7210us.

    As has been pointed out by Hüffer, these codes only rejects BIOS during power upward.  In this case, I don't think that the BIOS and hardware support beep codes - only blink codes.  You can see by visiting http://www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startupand clicking through for laptops - LEDs blink or computer page will beep.

    As you indicate that you are using the computer when it is happenning, you have exceeded BIOS in Windows.  Something in your Windows environment is to launch the beeps at you.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck!

  • want dv6-7214 will connect without Wireless - N, even with the replacement of the wifi card.

    Two routers, linksys e3000 and dlink dap1522, both running only thread-802 n wap2 personal

    (also fails with encryption disabled)

    HP dv6-7214 will connect or wireless-N.

    Other wireless-n devices all connected, like the samsung galaxy, sony viao vista.

    Dialog Configuration-protected connection recognizes WPS-Wireless wifi connect info, but still fails.

    Disable bluetooth, no effect.

    Diagnostic HP online support a wireless card problem, sent a replacement wireless card.

    Not installed, no improvement. Same behavior.

    Two dv6 wireless cards will connect two routers if G 802 eneables. Blutooth also works.

    All hp and windows updates installed (before all this and checked again after the new card installed).

    System always runs from as main player c. HP 750 g drive msata ssd drive as 2nd.

    (but probably not relevant,?)

    System for 2 weeks, just the windows 8 and a couple of installed items.

    Wireless-N has never worked, it not connected Wireless-g. G always work N never works.

    It works for EVERYONE on the Envy DV6-7000 series with windows 8?

    Windows 8 makes * beep * almost impossible to see how an adapter connects.

    You must go to the file Explorer, network properties, click the wi - fi connection,

    and look at the speed of connection. If its 54 Mbps, its G connection protocol.

    You can also configure the router on one N, see if it can connect to all.

    I just two bad wireless cards in a row, or am I missing something?

    Provided with the wi - fi - model Ralink RT3290 card?

    Thank you for posting if you are sure that you can connect dv6 win8 wireless-N, I would like to know

    If it still works.

    Thanks for your time.

    First of all, thank you for the Nice fellow who took the time to answer.

    After several hours with HP support, we have reloaded windows as a last resort.

    This fixed the problem of wireless-N with the ralink wireless card.

    I have created the restore point, applied updates (windows update) via the hp support assistant.

    Eventially has all the recommended updates and ended with several update option.

    Make a restore point

    Load the update of Microsoft as an option for ralink (975 k no id #), he again DEFEATED Wireless-n.

    Thank you MesS!

    Once loaded, it shows in the history of the update, but has no way to uninstall it.

    Also, no way to uninstall from the Programs window.

    Fortunately, I had a restore point.

    You can try the above driver or the driver suggested in the other response.

    Hello

    Your language is good enough, don't be sorry

    Your Support page is not a listed Intel graphic driver. Your laptop came with 64-bit Windows 8 & I guess you clean installed Windows 7 64 bit, right?

    Your laptop has Intel/NVIDIA switchable graphics system. In this case, you can install the Intel graphics driver first & then NVIDIA driver HP supports the page. for example,.

    You can try this graphics driver Intel Intel directly. Download, save & install it. Restart the system.

    Then download, save & install the NVIDIA graphics driver. Reboot the system after installation of finishing.

    Check whether the problem is resolved.

    Your ' very welcome e.

    All you have to do is to read the service manual and to find the procedure to upgrade or replace the video card.

    You won't find a procedure to do so.

    This is because it is not a replacement.
