How to activate WiFi ability?

I am running SP3 and want to connect to my personal mobile access point. Verizon gives to think that I might need a WiFi adapter, but before buying one I would like to know if this is necessary. What should I do to get my computer to recognize and connect to the hotspot?

Yes, you need a WiFi adapter - but a lot of new computers (especially laptops) equipped with a WiFi adapter built in.  What is the brand and model of your computer?

Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)
Scroll the network adapters, and then click on the +.
What are the names of the entries under network adapters?

Moreover,.
Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
What are the listed icons?

  • NB100 - how to activate WiFi without Blutooth?

    Hi, I have XP NB100-12Z.

    My problem: how to activate WiFI withouth activation Bluetooth! With the Fn + F1 combination devices are on and turned, as the orange led is on but the manual say Wlan (unique feature) is on the combination Fn + \. With this combination, no other led appears. So is there a way to make independent WiFI and Bt?

    Thank you for your attention.

    Hello

    I m don't know how son NB100, but other laptops you could choose between WLan and BT or BT WLan together.
    Pressing the FN + F1 would allow BT and WLan functionality.

    But what happens if you press the FN + F1 again?
    Would you be able to move to a single option (WLan or BT)?

    If this is not possible and that the FN + F1 key combination would enable and disable WiFi and BT together so I doubt you could use WLan or BT separately.

  • Satellite A660 - 11 M - how to activate WiFi?

    Hello. I have a Satellite A660 - 11 M with key features
    -Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit authentic (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)
    -Intel® Core i7-720QM processor

    WiFi:

    Manufacturer: Broadcom®
    Wireless technology: Wireless LAN
    Manufacturer: Broadcom®
    Wireless technology: Bluetooth® 2.1 + EDR

    It works fine, but after that the children were using the machine and close I don't see the router using the wifi.

    I tried the hardware switch on the strip between the keyboard and screen media and answered none of buttons; I suspect that this may be the problem.
    FN F8 brings to the top of the screen of fn wifi but clicking on it will not allow it. Troubleshooting tells me to "Turn on Wireless Capability", but as stated above, the band of the media seems to be inactive. I can normally connect cable to the router.
    I tried a system restore, but that did not help.

    So even if I have a sinking feeling I'm missing something obvious, all thoughts before you start reloading driver wifi or reset the BIOS? If this is the recommended approach, which driver command band of media

    Thanks much for any help.

    Hey,.

    The bright buttons between the keyboard and screen are controlled by added value package and if none of these keys work correctly, you must reinstall value added package. You can download this tool here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Have you checked the Device Manager If WLAN card is listed correctly? Maybe you have to update the WLAN driver because he confused s upwards. This update of the WLAN driver you will find on the page of download driver Toshiba too :)

  • Impossible to activate WiFi on Toshiba NB100 - 11G

    Hello

    I try to activate wi - fi on nb100-11 g. I activate WiFi fn - F1, and the indicator down is light with an orange color.
    But it seems that wi - fi is not enabled, even if bluetooth is enabled.

    So I try to turn on wi - fi through Control Panel, but it shows no connection made.
    The only link that is there is the connection to the local network. Thus, wi - fi, is not activate.

    How can I activate it?

    Hello

    The FN + F1 key combination allows both the WiFi and Bluetooth.
    If BT has been activated then it would mean that you have chosen the BT instead of WLan connection and that's why the WiFi network is disabled.

    Press the FN + F1 again and check if you could choose Wlan and could allow it.

  • Activate WiFi on an Aspire AS33810T?

    How can I activate WiFi on an Aspire AS3810T? Is there a switch or function key that does this? Windows 7 says that there is a switch. I can't find.

    Note the fault of typing in the subject line: should be AS3810T. Response by myself to anyone interested. Windows 7 raised an error message after you complete Diagnostics on a WiFi adapter not functional, something to the effect "switch on the front or side panel or press function if available. It's a false message; There is no switch or function key. The ultimate solution was the following. Uninstall the adapter. Resinstall the adpater by performing a search for hardware changes. Reboot the laptop. Move the laptop near WAP to ensure high strength of signal. In this case that the WAP is not broadcasting the SSID so enter the SSID, security type and pass code. It works! Somewhere regarding this problem the WAP has restarted; which may or may not be important.
