HP 15 laptop g018dx: HP15 and Realtek RTL8188EE questions g018dx

The wireless connection on my laptop g018dx HP15 is unstable in any place except sitting next to my router.   If I am anywhere else, it's either slow, it is almost unusable or disconnects the connection completely.   I rebooted several times my router by pulling on the battery and the plug for a minute, but it does not help.   All other items wireless (Kindle, phone, other mobile phones) have no problem with the router.   It is so bad, I gave up and search the Web using my kindle.

I updated the BIOS, uninstalled and reinstalled the driver wifi (several times) using the drivers on HP.  Realtek is not displayed (or find a research) model RTL8188EE, if I can't get a updated driver there.

I tried various web browsers, internet, Foxfire, Chrome and IE, but nothing makes any difference.   Short open the machine and reinstall the network card, I do not know what I can do.  OS version is 8.1.   Not sure if the operating system can be part of the issue.

Given that the laptop is still under warranty and I don't want to open the case, someone at - it suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

Hello:

The only suggestion I can offer would be to install the latest version of the W8.1 driver for the card that came out this month and see if it helps at all.

These cards are known for bad connections they have.

  • Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bgn wifi

    Buy HP Pavilion Notebook - 17-f123ds and the adapther Wireless does not query my 5 GHz network. I've done many research and cannot find all of the information that works this Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bgnadapther. There's no sense that this model would not have this feature. I have 2 old Lenovo Thinkpads and, of course, a Samsung Galaxy S5 all use my network 5 HZ. According to the answer I can return this laptop. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello:

    HP consumer notebooks have very few cards dual band.

    The RTL8188EE is a single band card.

    You don't need to do research to understand them.

    Any card wireless with a bgn suffix is a single band card.

    No matter what with a suffix abgn or agn wireless card is a card dual band.

    Model: HP 15-n270sa

    OS: Windows 7 64-bit

    Firstly the realtek RTL8188EE is a terrible WiFi card of absolutely. Which as your conscious has had so many questions and doesn't always have a real solution.

    I'm looking to replace it with another, anyone know of any options that are compatible with the laptop above?

    or

    There is connect a real driver that truly works with windows 7 and maintains a stable connection, does not take 15 minutes, actually connects and maintains the connection after restart or waking up?

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated

    Hello:

    If you want to go with one of the cards in the manual, I would go for this one...

    Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 802.11 bgn 1 x 1 Wi - Fi + adapter combo Bluetooth 4.0 (with a single antenna)

    Check if your model has two antennas connected to the wireless card.

    If so I would recommend one of these...

    This is router Wireless N dual band...

    Broadcom BCM943228HMB 802.11abgn 2 x 2 Wi - Fi + 4.0 BT Combo adapter

    It would be for a router AC (or if you plan to upgrade to one):

    Broadcom BCM4352 802.11ac 2 x 2 Wi - Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 combination WLAN adapt

    You can probably find one or the other on Amazon.com

  • HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC: Realtek RTL8188EE adapter wifi connectivity issues

    Help, please! I had bought this HP Pavilion computer with operating system Windows 8.1 and did the upgrade of Windows 10, when it came out. My wifi worked well until a few months ago. Now, I lose connectivity constantly. I searched the forums and tried everything I can find. I have the Realtek RTL8188EE 802. 11 b/g/n adapter Wi - Fi. All is well with our router, like all other electronic devices in the home are connected to the internet just fine. It is located in the same room and never had any problems connecting to the front. I drove back to 8.1 for Windows, made sure I had the latest drivers from the adapter, and then restored to older versions, tried to change minor settings on the adapter (i.e. make sure that power management area is not checked). I uninstalled the driver and removed the software, then restarted. Checked to make sure that the wireless encryption is WPA. Is there anything else I can try? I use this computer for my business and need to work. Nothing I've tried has fixed the problem.

    Hi @jborgwardt,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Sparkles1 is absent today. I'll follow your post.

    I just want to confirm if the current version of the wireless network adapter driver is 1.0.0.17 Rev.A sp68120.exe in your device manager.

    Also, please run the test component in the UEFI Diagnostic Hardware for wireless module:

    HP Notebook PC - detection of hardware failures (Windows, 10, 8)

    Let me know if it satisfies the test of material.

  • laptop slow, freezes and "unresponsive".

    Hi my laptop with Vista home premium, is very slow, continually freeze and "does not" to the point where it is almost impossible to use. I followed responses to similar issues dealt with on this forum and have run the sfc/scannow in cmd. It made me know that there was corrupt or damaged files, but when I try to analyze the entries in log file the program Checker (SFC.exe) Microsoft Windows resources, I am informed, I don't have permission to open the newspapers, regardless of how I try to "administrator." This mean the end of this pc?

    Hello

    Many files that SFC cannot resolve are not important.

    Start - type in the search box-> find CMD in top - click right on - RUN AS ADMIN

    ===========================================

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Pavilion 15 with Realtek rtl8188ee can't see 802.11n network

    Hello

    a new Pavilion 15 with the network card wireless Realtek rtl8188ee - all drivers up to date.

    I have a Netgear router which is dual band and there is a network of 11g and 11n.

    I can connect and use the network of 11g all very well.

    But I don't even see the 11n network.

    Any thoughts?

    Hello:

    If you mean that you cannot connect to the 5.0 GHz band, it's because the wireless RTL8188EE is a unique card band (2.4 GHz) only.

  • I want to buy Toshiba laptop with Ubuntu and windows

    I want to buy a new laptop.
    I don't want to pay 300 quid for yet another stupid Windows (if they are just a version properly, people don't need to keep buying new... oh wait... they make more money...).

    Others don't offer laptops with Ubuntu (and not windows).

    I find myself here, and Toshiba appear also does not provide laptops without windows.
    Why? Why Toshiba offer laptops with pre-installed Ubuntu with no windows?

    I use Ubuntu for 3 years, and altogether, he transformed my daily calculation. No more bloody virus, not 5 minutes log-ins/closures, no more program - crashing down the entire system. It is faster, safer, more flexible and * free *.

    But because Toshiba do not appear to offer it, they can't get my habit (I'm in Ireland, so Toshiba options open to me may be different in other countries).

    Hello

    First of all it s a forum from user to user and you get no response from Toshiba here in the forum.

    But as much as I know that Toshiba laptops are not delivered with the distributions Linux.
    Of course, you can install Linux if you want, but laptops are delivered with the Windows operating system. As far as I know with win 7 64 bit and 32 bit OS.

    original title: screen brightness
    I work on a laptop running XP and I can't find how to adjust the brightness of the screen. He is not bright enough for the environment, in that I am currently working.
    Any help?

    Look in the BIOS (nothing to do with the operating system) and change first there - so it's also brilliant to (on battery vs. connected to power - these settings, you determine thus.)

    In Windows - you should be able to control the brightness * if * you have everything installed the appropriate drivers for your laptop * and * they chose to give you these controls (the true drivers/software from the video card manufacturer is usually done).

    Also - if the brightness is not sufficient because of the light of the Sun - then by adjusting it can't helped.  Not many mobile consumers have a screen that can be read in the light of the Sun.  There are laptops with special screens for this type of environment.  Crank your brightness might help - but if you do not have an anti-glare screen, etc...
