HP 450-a120 slim desktop - 8188EE Realtek wifi adapter

The system is around the age of six months.

All wifi networks disappeared so that any piece of evidence in the Win10 that there was any installed wifi hardware.

Do you have the normal operation of the system and router without result.

Since it was under warranty, has taken to the seller.  Worked very well and when I went back to the House.

My conclusion is an intermittent short circuit on the system board.  It's a plugin module that can be replaced?

I can't find any kind of card schematic useful system on the HP support site.

Hi there @MichaelShores,

That the Forums are with you!  It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, HP experts and other support staff. I understand that you suspect an intermittent connection is at the origin of the problems of WiFi at home. I'm happy to help you with this.

Looking at the HP Slimline 450 - a120 Desktop PC product specifications, the wireless connection is provided by the PCI express mini half-length card below.

With the power off and unplugged unit, you could try to remove and then insert the card again once, to see if that helps.

If there is no change, then try this interactive troubleshooting: HP PC - wireless network and Internet troubleshooting

Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

  • Pavilion g6-1245CE: drivers PCI and Realtek WiFi don't work after upgrading Win10

    Hi people,

    After updating the OS to Win7 x 64 to x 64 on a HP Pavilion G6 1245CE Win10, I have some difficulties with some hardware drivers. Most of the problems I could solve myself, but there are four material elements that continue to give errors, which I failed to solve by myself. These hardware problems also affect the ability to use internet (at least on WiFi) have this laptop, it is quite a big deal. I hope you can help me. I probably provide too much information below, but I think that at least the necessary information you need are there. I hope at least

    So can you help me solve the errors established below, so that I can at least use internet via WiFi again on this laptop?

    In Device Manager, I get the following errors and the info that seems worth sharing:

    general tab:

    Device type: network adapters

    Manufacturer: Realtek

    Location: Bus 2 PCI, device 0, function 0

    State of the device: this device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

    Hello:

    Unfortunately, you will not get the Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter to work on the Windows or Windows 10 8.1, so I can't help you with that.

    You can try the W10 drivers directly from the Realtek site for the ethernet controller and card reader.

    Ethernet controller... Download, unzip and run the file setup.exe from the first driver on the Web page.

    Because the wireless cannot work on W10, you may want to roll back to W7 in the 30 day period.

    I have a HP Envy dv6 Notebook PC, model No.2CE243OCYT.  It has an adapter for WiFi Atheros 802.11 AR9485 b:g:n. There is an update of HP of the card, but when I updated, I was unable to connect to the internet. I realize that this WiFi adapter is only 2. 5. g I had to update my laptop, then I got access to the internet again. I have not tried again this update of the driver, but just put TWC to update my cable modem to dual band by using the strips of 2.5 G and 5G.

    I'm afraid to install the Atheros update in my lapotop once again because I don't want to go to parrir the hassle of re - install all my software pd [posed again.

    Y at - it a HP dual band WiFi adapter is recommended, and it is easy to install?

    Thank you

    Laptops are as you order them or buy them as ready to ship models. They are not generally considered to be extensible to all. You can switch from desktop computers in general as much as the platform of the motherboard and BIOS allow.

    Not as far as I know, HP makes no recommendataions on laptops and usb adapters.

    Just do a search online with Googl, Bing or your search engine favoriteb for major brands such as ASUS, Linksys and Netgear. Check the reviews of the candidates you find and make sure they include drivers for the operating system that you have in your laptop. NewEgg.com is a good website to csome comparison shopping.

    IF you want wifi nextgen features in the usb adapter and the chance to have a router nextgen with 802.11ac capacity of 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz, then looking for the one that many people recommend.

  • Ongoing problem with my Netgear WiFi adapter and hardware software.

    Please help me solve this problem, which still exists.  I even once contacted NETGEAR, but they say it's a problem for six months and it is only cosmetic in that the adapter Netgear WIFI does his job, despite the failure of the adapter Netgear WIFI Wizard appears immediately except to re - install via CD Netgear...  Read on: Although my new Netgear dual-band "N" WIFI ADAPTER works optimally and, out of curiosity, I have re-installed several times using the accompaniment CD... there is a small problem I want to solve: when I click on the WIFI adapter desktop ICON, I get a window of PSI with the message "FAILURE of SERVICE.  Yet once, WIFI actually moved and is also indicated under the programs/features and works perfectly well.  When I bring up the icon under all PROGRAMS, the same result occurs: the same message reappears: "FAILURE of SERVICE.  When I called Netgear to the Philippines call center, support staff of so-called tech advised me to ignore the message and that I was the first caller on this issue, "as long as the WIFI adapter gives you the desired signal quality and speed, just ignore... "When I pressed on others, a supervisor at the call center told me that she would pass on the information that I provided to their engineers to study the problem.  In addition, the supervisor told me that no one had contacted the Center to call on this particular issue.  Yes, I even disabled the built-in WIFI adapters (Atheros), but the 'problem' in question still exists.  Please note that it is a phenomenon of long months and that in the past whenever I clicked on the ICON, the regular Netgear Windows would come upward, including the various hot spots in option, etc. I even updated the software successfully and rebooted the laptop, according to Microsoft's Windows Update instructions.  Please let me know what is happening and how I could fix this ' cosmetic ', if that's what it is, according to Netgear support.

  • BT not detected after update BIOS and windows 8.1 & wifi adapter with envy J000 Touch series (J001tx)

    Hi, I have an Envy Touchsmart J001 TX laptop.  I've upgraded to 8.1 Windows a few days back and my pc was working fine. Yesterday, my WIFI and Bluetooth stopped being detected.

    I checked Device Manager and it does not show the adapters. My system has BT Ralink and Realtek wifi b/g/n.

    Restart the system, WiFI present themselves and worked normally, but on next reboot disappeared again.

    The physical plane mode button is orange and pressing or off change in the status of shows like airplane on or off but the notification area icon mode shows no change.

    The network and sharing Center shows not router WIFI in the settings of the card and even the menu of configuration of Windows 8 don't tell no detected wirelessadapter.

    I've updated my drivers and even my BIOS. Earlier I got the version of BIOS INSYDE F.24 and current installed BIOS is INSYDE F.53. Here is the log file in the folder SWsetup containing the unzipped BIOS file. I think that the BIOS is not installed correctly. Please analyze the log file and do not tell if you see something wrong.

    Has anyone else had a similar problem with the update of the BIOS, or with WIFI after Win 8.1 update?

  • Problems with wireless WIFI adapter. DWA-130 | Windows 7

    Hello

    I did a post on this a few months back and it has been partially resolved; I tried to get my wireless to work on Windows 10 WIFI adapter and the people trying to help me as I discovered that 10 Windows does not have to support the device.

    Now, I have a new problem. I recently, and recently I mean today, reformatted for Windows 7 because I'm not a big fan of Windows 10 (which is not because of my WIFI adapter doesn't work do not, it is mainly because of all the glitches that come with Windows 10 because it is so new). Sort of, I tried to install my WIRELESS card on my Windows 7 Desktop, and everything I did (I honestly don't know) I can't make it work... And here, if possible, why...

    I think that the "unknown device" could be my adapter. If so, that would mean he has not installed correctly and therefore is not working right (or not at all, in this case).

    How can I remove from my device manager? I have already used "uninstall Device Driver", and he says it uninstalls, but once I update the list, he's back again, this time with no way to uninstall it - I have to reboot the machine and then the option will pop up but then if I refresh it, it'll be welcome back here - now, it will not disappear.

    My WIFI adapter is called "DWA-130" and the model number would be "DWA-130F1.

    Help would be very appreciated.

    The problem has been resolved.

    Thanks for any help, in the end, I copied files from disks on my desk (before copying them, I just tried to use the DISK itself), then I went in "Devices and printers" clicked on my device (the "802.11 n WLAN [DWA-130]"), then went to "Device properties" and "Update Driver". I went to my office through the teleprompter and then when I was in the files on the disc, I went into the folder "Setup" and you press 'OK', in which he finally started to install the necessary drivers and you read this, I use my wireless adapter to access my internet.

    One thing to note;

    Once it was installed, I went to the 'map settings' to connect to a preferred network, and some networks were visible. So I had to add mine in manually, once I added it manually, the WIFI indicator on my taskbar, when I opened it, all the other networks in my neighborhood was now visible as well.

    I hope I helped someone with problems.
