Help! Atheros 5007 let not my wireless router works!

I have a laptop with Windows Vista sp2, and I try to connect a Cisco, Lynksis router E2000 wireless.  It does not work and I had a chat session with someone from Cisco, and he says it's my Atheros 5007 802. 11 b / g WiFi adapt which is causing the problem, and I need to upgrade. Where this to do and how. I've looked everywhere and can't seem to understand.  When I go to my driver Atheros and doing an "update", it tells me that it is currently being updated.  As you can tell I'm not super savvy, computer so any any help will be appreciated.

    HM, this is a strange question because I doesn´t depends on the machine, the card information wireless installed. But in general a Netgear router is always a good choice... they are reliable, Don t need a lot of power and you can expand your network with these special Nergear '"Externders = range.

  • Computer Vista laptop cannot connect to new wireless router

    I had the laptop for about a year and a half, and he has a history of being pretty skittish about the wireless connection.  Often he simply refuses to do so.  During vacation last year, for example, the other three laptops connected family easily to wi - fi hotel, but mine has refused to.  There are a lot of other moments when the laptop could not connect, but I was able to connect to two most important places - home and work - without much trouble, and so I haven't looked too hard to solve the problems of connection up to now.

    This week, I replaced the router in my original configuration.  The old Netgear router kept giving up the connection between her and my ISP.  The new Linksys router looks rock solid in this regard.  I have a desktop running XP computer that is wired to the new router Linksys, and he sees the internet very well.  My laptop Vista unable to connect (wireless), however.  He sees the network with a lot of intensity of the signal, and it tries to connect.  I get a message saying that the connection takes longer than usual, and then another message saying 'connected.'  However, I do not have internet access, and I see other devices (just the XP desktop, really) on the network.  The Network and Sharing Center shows my laptop connected to the 'unidentified network', and then there is a red X between this network and the Internet (represented by a grey globe).  Laptop computer signals its 'access' as "local only".

    From the desktop, I can access the internet, so the router is connected to the points upstream.  From the desktop, I can also access the router configuration pages, and I see that it does not list the laptop as a dhcp client, even if the laptop thinks that it is connected.

    ipconfig on laptop computer displays a wacky IPv4 address: 169.254.2.91 and I guess that the laptop does not get an address passed to the router.  I think that there should be a 192.168. *. * address if it worked properly.

    Now, I was pretty sure my laptop's wireless adapter to work properly.  It always connects to the old router and it always connects to the work.  But to be sure and really test the new router, I went out and bought another USB adapter wireless.  When I plug it into the computer to Office XP, the Office connects to the router and can see the internet (even with the connection cable is disconnected).  So the new router and the new wireless USB adapater properly.  When I plug the USB wireless adapter into the laptop, the laptop still can't connect and still not get a good ip address assigned by the router.

    I've been at this for a few days now, and I could really use some help.  I read a few items in the Microsoft forums that was supposed to fix the problem.  One of them told me to try to start a program called DHCP in the Administrative Tools folder.  I do not have this program on my computer.  Another told me manually change my registry (ouch!) and add a new DWORD value, and set its value to 1.  I did, but it did not fix the problem.

    I would be very grateful for any help.

    Alright.  I am home to work and back again.  I have read several posts with people reporting problems similar to mine, so I guess I'm not alone in this.  In a thread, the experts proposed to start in Mode safe mode with networking.  So I gave that a shot.  I still couldn't really connect - just this 'local only' without an assigned IP address.

    One thing I did notice, is that my laptop brand and its wireless adapter seem to get a special mention in most positions.  I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ50 Notebook PC running Vista Home Premium SP2, 32-bit version (even if the processor is 64-bit).  The wireless adapter is an Atheros AR5007.  Several other people with this card have reported problems.  Maybe it's the cause?

    I look into updating the driver for the card, even if yesterday's test with the separate USB wireless adapter showed that the problem could not just be limited to the Atheros card.  To search for a driver update, I connect my laptop to the router with an ethernet cable.  It's nice to see the web on your laptop.  No update driver does.

    For fun, I try to establish a wireless connection with the router, while the wired connection is still in place.  Looks like maybe it worked?  I say a little prayer and unplug the ethernet cable...

    It's a miracle!  I have a wireless connection to the router and beyond, to the internet.  Huzzah!

    The network has a real name, too, instead of just 'unidentified network '.  I want to change the network type from the public to the private, which I was unable to do while he was still 'unidentified '.

    Can I terminate the connection so that I can see what happens when I try to reconnect.

    Another miracle!  It connects to and still see the internet.  Callooh!  Colay!

    Next test: see what happens after a reboot... (please, please, please)...

    Ch-ching!  It works again!

    Final (?) test: reinstall the McAffee internet security suite and restart.

    And it still works.

    Here's a recap of what I found:
    1. laptop could not connect wireless router again, despite dozens of attempts in which I get every available straw
    2. laptop computer could see the internet when connected to the router
    3. laptop could connect wirelessly to the router while the wired connection is in place
    4. Once this first wireless, laptop computer was able to connect to the router even when the wired connection has been removed and the computer restarts

    I would describe my discovery above as a work-around rather than as a solution, however.  It does not always help me stay connected the next time I'm on vacation, for example.  But perhaps the information I provided can help experts to diagnose the real problem a little.

    I look forward to hear something back.

    In addition, my brother and I'm an online game called Minecraft and sometimes we have had trouble with delay. I don't really want to do with my new router, so can you tell me what router should I buy?

  • Atheros 5007 won't stay connected to the Netgear WNR3500 router internal wireless

    I just bought a new laptop Compaq CQ60-420us (nw156ua) a week ago. Machine comes with Vista Home Premium and I installed Win7 rc1 64 on another partition.

    Initially I could not it remains connected to my router for more than 15 minutes approximately. I just press the wireless button to turn it off and turn it back on. Who would fix it for about 15 minutes.

    I called HP support, they tried many things including for me to do a factory restore.  They finally decide to send me a new wireless card. I received the new card yesterday, had it installed and it is essential to do the same thing. Last night, I dug an older linksys wireless router that I have used in the past. Hooked upward and the laptop stays connected to her very well. I had the wpa security enabled on the linksys routers both netgear.

    Then, I went to the netgear router and disabled security. It is very well connected. Not sure if wep security will allow him to work. I refuse to use just the wep security. It is easily hackable. And of course I will not let it be secure.

    So it seems to be a compatibility issue between my router netgear wrn3500 and the atheros 5007 wireless card security. The router has the latest version of the installed software package.

    I guess I'll call HP tonight and see if they can send me a different brand/model wireless card. All my other wireless devices work fine with this netgear router. I don't want to get rid of the cause of netgear, this is a gigabit & Wireless N router.

    Does anyone know of any other mini pci express card that works with my laptop? I would get a card N. I thought maybe the intel wifi link 5100 card. Not sure if those who are compatible with HP or not.

    Thank you!

    When I called HP back support, they were completely useless. Everything I tried to ask them is if they could just give me a list of wireless pci-express cards that would be compatible with my laptop. They did not understand my problem and could not give me a list. I wanted to the list because I read several times that HP has a 'white list' cards that will work with their motherboards. If you put a card that isn't on the list you will receive a message to remove the card from the bios when you turn on the machine. I checked this by testing the intel 5100 card on my laptop and it gave me this message.

    Oh btw, it's MUCH safer these days to update the bios of your computer, it was many years ago. I do all the time and have never had a 'brick' on me. Even safer on a laptop with a battery in good condition. In fact I recommend it as part of your troubleshooting process. That will not fix the problem tho atheros wireless.

    However, in the end, I was able to operate pretty well no thanks to HP!

    I had to buy another card Atheros tho. It was the 5009 Atheros. And it's a card N I so was able to get with my router N 300mbs speed!

    I found it on ebay for about $25 plus delivery charges. Oh and these cards are VERY easy to replace. There is a door on the bottom of the laptop with a captive screw - remove the door, then another screw which holds the card down. 2 drivers who commit on the 2 connectors on the map - the map out on the right.

    This card worked very well for me I highly recommend to solve the problem with shit card atheros 5007.

    Unfortunately, my laptop was stolen 2 weeks ago! (it was only 2 months old!) Some loser scumbag broke in with me so that I was at work and stole my laptop and my LCD 24 ''!

    Hi Twentytwo22 (2),

    Thanks for posting that query you in Microsoft Communities. Provide the following information:

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         You use a third-party security software?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Follow these steps:

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

    Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode with networking, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 from the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

  • Wireless router not working do not! Help someone? WRT54GS

    I have the router WRT54GS v. 6. I've had this router for about 8 months and now it seems to give me problems. My Linksys Easylink Advisor program could not read my router, when I opened my Linksys Advisor my WiFi router network has not shown "Wirelesss router" he showed that a 'bridge' on the bottom right is my computer. I uninstalled and installed linksys Advisor from the original disc that came with my wireless router. I opened the program from Linksys and my network name, clicking Next, it says it is trying to detect the router, but it is not. All wires are not working, I even changed my ethernet cables around to see if that was the problem but they are beautiful. For some reason it can't read my router more. Ive tried to install this new program LELA 3.0 but I keep getting errors when trying to do this thing .NET 3.0. Any ideas?

    Would say allows you to configure the router manually instead of running the Easy Link Advisor depending on your service provider Internet suggest you to make settings & you will be able to go online with no problems.

  • HP Envy 4500: Printer connected to the router, but will not print wireless Macbook

    I want my wireless printer to work on my macbook, but I can't. I tried setting up on the HP utility to connect with the router as the mac and printer on but it does not work! It indicates that the download was successful, but the device was not reachable. I don't really know where to go from here and any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

    Hey @miriamnimmo,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP, I would be happy to help you! I understand that you have the printer set up on your network, but the software says that the device is not accessible. Sometimes the IPv6 may interfere with the connection, and I suggest we disable that before anything else. On the fornt of the printer Panel, scroll down to and then select Wireless. In the wireless Menu, select Advanced settings, then IPv6 and.

    Now we are going to let the router and unplug the power cable (NOTE: do not reset the router), then do the same with the printer and shut down the computer. After a minute, plug in the router, wait to fully turn on, then plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light become solid. Once the router and the printer are on, go ahead and re - turn on the computer. This will refresh the network connection.

    Please let me know if this solves the problem by marking your post as solved (click on Accept as Solution button below). If the problem persists, let me know, I'll watch for your reply.

    See you soon!

  • Can connect to the wireless router, but not to the Internet

    Because I could not find this post, I published in my problem to

    Windows 7, connecting Local only, no Internet

    I think I described the problem a bit better here.

    I had a Gateway DX4300-17 with Windows 7 Home Premium for about six weeks. I connect to the Internet via a Netgear wireless router. My Internet connection dropped often, but I've always been able to reconnect to the Saturday. Since the start-up my computer Sunday, when I try to connect to the Internet, the system tells me that I am connected to the router, but there is no connection between the router and the Internet. I did a system restore to Friday, but it did not help. I searched the Knowledge Base and tried several things I found there. Running "sfc/scannow" indicates that all is well. I disabled the '6' Protocol (I don't remember the letters that were with this, but you probably know what I mean). This made no difference either. I thought I would ask for help here in the hopes of not having to restart the computer to the "hospital". That's a very different problem here barely a week. I need help, please.

    Hello Bill6009,

    Have you tried to boot your computer in SafeMode w/network to see if the problem persists?

    If so, try to perform a clean boot to see if you encounter the same problem.

  • NB300 will not connect to my wireless router

    Can someone help me please?

    I have an old week NB300 laptop computer that has a built in Atheros AR9285 wireless network adapter.
    I have problems connecting to my D-Link wireless router/AP.

    None of my other wireless products have connection problems, and it is only this laptop that won't.
    I have reset the modem/router, I unplugged the adapter wireless in Device Manager and updated drivers.

    We can see broadcasting and all other my neighbours routers, but just used to connect.

    Any suggestions out there?

    Hello

    You mean NB300 can see your WLan and other WLan in the neighborhood, but cannot connect?

    This would mean that the WLan is enabled correctly because the WiFi network around you are visible
    In any case, check if you have enabled the WLAN using the FN + F8 key.

    In addition, you should go to the properties of the wireless network and need to check the TCP/IP protocol. Disable the IPV6 Protocol and use only IP v4

    In the properties of the TCP/IP Protocol, you should check if all options are set to automatic.
    MAC address filtering, no encryption, encryption password must be checked as well!

    By the way; Here you will find the latest Wlan drivers:
