ENVY of HP dv6-7246us Notebook PC Wireless "turned off", can't go back.

Help, please. I have a HP ENVY dv6-7246us Notebook PC with a Qualcomm QCA9565 Atheros 802.11b/g/n wireless adapter. This camera has worked flawlessly since purchase in January 2013. But for the last 2 weeks, the adapter has been disabled and I can't find a way to reactivate.

In Device Manager, the adapter is shown to work properly. The indicator light (f12) shows white as it should and active / disable correctly in and out of airplane mode.

I tried to open the Properties tab in nothing helps network connections. I could not find a newer driver for the adapter.

As you can see, the ethernet adapter works well. I have 64-bit Windows 8 and use AVG anti-virus.

I'm hoping to find a solution to what I need the wireless to work properly, or I'll just get another computer.

Thank you.

OK, here's the deal. I talked to my grandson 13yo the problem and at the very least, I feel embarrassed.

The problem was a setting in Windows 8, I don't know. (Bring up the menu on the right side of the screen, click settings at the bottom of the list, and then select the wifi tab.) Think back to Windows 7.

I appreciate your time to your time. I'm marking this as resolved point. Thank you very much.

  • ENVY of HP dv6-7215nr Notebook PC: portable computer upgrade wireless for AC

    Hi I have the

    ENVY of HP dv6-7215nr Notebook PC

    and it has the Intel Centrino Wireless - N 2230 card. I would like to replace it with a card that meets the standards of the AC and works on a network of 5 GHz. Are there compatible replacement cards?

    Thank you

    Chris Goebel

    Your wireless card is currently not 2 antennas connected to it?

    It should be. I don't think that HP had begun the practice of using only a single antenna for single band wireless cards in this series of models.

    Take a look now before ordering a replacement card, as running a second antenna would require a complete disassembly of the laptop including the area on display at the antenna of the road a 2nd.

    If your laptop's wireless card has two antennas already attached, all you need to do is to uninstall the drivers in the devices and current wireless network card Manager, stop the PC and swap on the map.

    I want to download drivers AC 7260 first, if you are ready to install after you connect your new card.

    I also suggest you get the card with number HP on this subject.  You can find other suppliers and more HP for less money.

  • How do I turn on wireless turn off in the BIOS?

    Hello.

    I'm totally new to more technical side of computers so please excuse me if I do not have much sense.

    I just bought the Satellite P200 especially for an occasion of home business and there are several requirements that I am trying
    to answer, but seem to be failing.
    I presented a report of the laptop Belarc to society and they advised that in order to use this laptop that I
    have my wireless turned off in my BIOS.

    I have not the slightest idea what it means and what I have to do? I've read a few other subjects online which have lost some of
    light, but I still do not know how to do and, if it is disabled does that mean I can use is any more?

    Basically, I work online in my current line of work and use my laptop (with WiFi) for this but this other thing that I'm trying
    getting in requires a disabled wireless network but I still want to use the wireless in my own time, is - it possible?

    Thanks in advance for any help, that all the world can offer,

    Natalie.

    I don't know if this feature can be disabled in the BIOS, in regards to my machine, you can't do that.

    OK, understand your problem, or better, your company's security restrictions.
    You can check if you can disable this feature by pressing F2 at startup to the top of your laptop. He enters the BIOS. There simply navigate a bit, if you can find something with disabling wlan.

    But you could ask them if it would be ok. When you just turn off wlan using the hardware switch in the front of your machine.

    To use wlan for private, you must activate it back, of course.

    I recently bought the dv6-7246us and have updated for one SSD HARD drive. The problem I have now is I can't boot from usb or dvd drive that contains the Windows 7installation. Initially, this laptop has a HDD with Windows 8. I changed the boot order to boot from the USB drive and the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive several times and have still no chance to start to the top of the installation. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Pavilion dv6 1140ew with Windows 7. Each drivers are up-to-date. The system has been reinstalled recently so no virus is present.

    And that is the problem. The computer turns off randomly wireless features. The blue light on the Power button tab will become Orange, as it has been disabled manually. I can't turn it on again for a while. Sometiems, it requires a reboot to re - activate. I found no specific reason why it happens. There is no model when it occurs. Sometimes during a movie, when the internet is not used at all. Sometimes during a game, online when it is certeinly. It takes 10 minutes to 2 hours to reactivate itself.

    Would appreciate any help, as it is very frustrating.

    Hello Schanez,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that your wireless network is disabled and you want to prevent from happening. I'm you provide a document from HP support:laptops HP - Setup to solve Internet connection problems on a wireless network with Windows 7 and, which contains steps to help you solve this problem. I would focus on turn it off device power management section of the options I have installed wireless on below:

    Most wireless devices can be configured to turn off the power to reduce the drain on battery power. This is usually not a problem when the laptop is connected to an AC adapter. However, during battery operation, the adapter can be turned off to save energy. To disable this power setting, follow these steps.

    1. Click on start and enter the device in the search box, and then select Device Manager from the list.
    2. Double-click network adapters to lengthen the list, do a right click on the adapter for wireless (WiFi) in the list and select Properties.
    3. In the map properties window, click the power management tab, and then deselect allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option.

    Close Device Manager, restart the laptop and trying to reconnect to the wireless network.

    Please re-post if you need extra support. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    I own a notebook computer MSi S6000 Windows 7 (64-bit). My problem is that any time that my laptop's sleep mode (when I close the lid or after inactivity) wireless connection is cut off the coast and in some cases the wireless card is cut. I end up turning on the wireless card with the

    After "standby" mode, I have to reconnect to the wireless network (without turning on the map).

    I have tried a number of measures to address this problem including uncheck the button 'turn off this device to save power' in the properties and made sure that my laptop ALWAYS connects to the network by making the #1 on the priority list and checking the connection to this network even when it is not being broadcast.

    Yet I still couldn't remedy this solution.

    Please help if you can. I appreciate your time in advance... happy new 2011!

    Assuming that the signal is strong, and that there is no noise in the electrical environment.

    Visit the support site of the computer and make sure that you use the latest drivers * for network adapters.

    Check support for the router and make sure that your using the latest firmware for the router.

    Uncheck the box to the NIC of energy economy (I.e., do not leave the card save energy).

    There may be some variations on where is the energy saving setting.

  • Adapter wireless turned off suddenly on my Satellite A500

    I have a laptop Satellite A500, on an old win7, a year and a half. Since the expiration of the warranty all started to go wrong and break spontaneously.

    Last night, the battery ended his own life, and it will now work on the sector. As soon as this happened, the wireless adapter also stopped work, behave as if I had flicked the switch at the front. A small red cross is in the lower corner, saying: no connection is available. Troubleshooting the connection says that the wireless card is disabled. If I go into the properties of the adapter, it seems turned on, it says the device is working properly and "allow windows turn off automatically" tab in power options is not checked.

    Is there anything else I can try? Buy a new battery would solve this problem?

    See you soon.

  • Tecra M11 - capacity wireless turns off by itself

    I have a Tecra M11 who likes to turn off its wireless capability. It will sometimes go days without doing it, but for example today it did not less than 3 times. He's going to lose contact with my wireless network and when I go to reconnect I see that because the wireless feature is turned off there is no network available. When windows (windows 7 64 bit) allows to solve the problem, he tells me to "turn wireless capability" and if I jump it offers that I plug in an ethernet cable. I checked the physical switch on the front of the computer and also WiFi accessible by the Fn keys toggle switch, the two have no effect on the conviction of my computer that wireless capability is turned off.

    My old tecra M9 has also done this, but I didn't expect my other (one month) to do the same thing. I can fix this problem by restarting the computer, but I'm looking for a permanent solution.

    Thanks in advance

    > My old tecra M9 has also done this, but I didn't expect my other (one month) to do the same thing. I can fix this problem by restarting the computer, but I'm looking for a permanent solution.

    I think that this is not a problem of WiFi for laptop, but I think that it s related to the WLan router because you had the same problem with Tecra M9.
    I recommend updating the firmware on the router first. In addition, you must reconfigure the router again. You will need to play with a different option like the use of different channels of WLan, Wlan encryption, etc.

    Good luck

  • T60p, T60 card wireless turns off by itself

    Hello, any help will be greatly appreciated. I have a T60 and T60p, which have exactly the same problem. When connected wireless after 20-30 minutes the wireless adapter turns off itself. I loaded the drivers updated. I don't use dial-up connections, Windows XP manages the wireless profiles. I made sure that the computer is not stop the wireless card to save energy. I do not supply manager, but I installed the driver of power manager. The map stops and the wireless light turns off but windows will still say that I am connected through wireless. I hit FN + F5 and card status is disabled but I don't have the possibility to change it to on. It will not allow to do me anything. Also, when I close the lid it won't have to stand by mode. I have to do a full reboot to get the wireless operational return. Any help please, it's really annoying. Two laptops using the Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG card.

    Thank you!!

  • Wireless turns off automatically when streaming long videos

    I just bought my VPCEB23FM week last of Best Buy. I started watching some TV shows on hulu.com and if the tv episode is longer than 30 minutes, my wireless adapter turns off by itself.

    Sony has suggested a reinstall driver for the wireless network card intel, but that has not worked. I fixed it myself by uninstalling Kaspersky Anti-virus. It seems to be perform smoothly so far (3 hours of three video streams simultaneously).

    I saw some Kaspersky NDIS component installed on my wireless adapter and wanted to see if it was a culprit. Restoration of the system to pre-install point seems to have solved the problem (so far). I'll do more testing, but it looks promising.
