• I can't find Wireless Assistant to my HP Envy 17 3070NR

  I can't find Wireless Assistant to my HP Envy 17 3070NR.  The Maintenance Center also does not show.  Where can I download it?

  The goal is to change the configuration for connecting the ethernet cable (connecting to the intranet using a fixed IP address), you do not disconnect wireless.

  Thank you

  Hey, Chris:

  Sorry, there is no LAN/WLAN switch in the BIOS of envy.

  I doubt that the wireless assistant will do anything.

  What is manage your wireless devices, but what do you have to lose by trying?

  Most likely, it is not a program that is supported on your PC, this is why it is not listed.

  I have provided the link to the latest version available...

• Want 5660 printer: 5660 envy may be wired and wireless?

  Hello

  I have a new Evny 5660 all-in-one printer and I was wondering if I can configure it to be wired and wireless. I inow have it configured to be wireless for two computers - it connects to my network and both computers can access. However, I was wondering if there was a way to add also a USB connection on my desktop so there is work computer to the printer when the wireless is not enabled. I don't always have the wireless and then I can not print from this computer, so it would be nice to have the opportunity to do both, if there is a way to do it.

  When you first install the printer, he used huge amounts of my posting of monthly wireless data, so I disabled (I hope) all updates and order options of connection so that it uses ONLY the wireless for my LAN connection - not to go out on the internet and download things by himself.

  For this reason I don't use it a lot or leave the wireless for more than the time required to print everything I print, and then I have to disable the wireless because I am not convinced that it it not again try to use a huge amount of data on its own. So the question on wireless and wired. I do not actually print a large part of my laptop and that you do not have the wireless on most of the time if she could also be connected via USB to my desktop computer.

  Thank you!

  OK - as I thought, the manual does not make the printer wireless and wired. It tells how to pass Wireless USB, but not the other way around and also provides no information on the type of USB cable not required.

  In the section "Installation and printer software" on the computer itself, it only gives the option to add a new printer, or to change the wireless settings - nothing about adding a wired USB connection.

  Any help on how to do this very appreciated!

  You need a USB cable from the printer.  Not just a USB cable standard.   Like this.

  http://www.Amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-2-0-cable--male/DP/B00BCWALHM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1440363469&SR=8-1&keywords=printer+USB+cable

  You should just be able to run the installer and follow the prompts to connect the USB cable and it should work.

• Printe all-in - One HP ENVY 7640: Wired AND wireless?

  Question: If I buy the above printer, can I print using my Wired

  I bought an OiiceJet 6500 has some time ago. I was VERY disappointed. It does not Duples, I get EITHER Witred or wireless (not both). Of ink refills are EXPENSIVE and they only last for a few weeks. After a few months it stopped paper feed and no matter what we tried sound from a white elephant.

  I won't be suckered into another very poor printer with the consumables very expensive printer that only half of us can use

  Hello

  This printer supports RJ 45 cable and wireless however both can not be active at the same time.

  The best configuration that can be used there to connect the printer to the router by Ethernet cable / wireless (depending on your choice).

  Connect the iPhone, ipad in the same wireless router.

  Use of the HP all-in - One Printer Remote app to print.

• WIFI disabled in HP Wireless Assistant

  Hi all, I have a HP HDX18 laptop 1013tx, and everything was working fine until a few days ago.

  After a complete restore of the system using the recovery partition, the HP Wireless Assistant has opened for the first time and said that the WIFI network has been disabled. Pressing the wireless button on the mobile turn Bluetooth on and outside, but the WLAN is stuck on disabled people. I tried reinstalling the drivers wireless Assistant HP, but it did not work. I even tried to physically pull out the card and replace it.

  The only information I have is that the Wireless Assistant says that the WIFI network is disabled in the computer configuration utility which I guess is the BIOS that access you by pressing F10 at startup. The problem is that there is nothing in the BIOS that has nothing to do with disable it or activate the WLAN.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  OK, well, I've managed to solve my problem. After arriving to the conclusion that something was blocking the wireless to start, I rebooted my laptop in SafeMode with network. And that is, the wireless worked in safe mode. I just rebooted in windows, and the wireless remained on and functional. I hope this will help others who have the same problem.

• Want to M6 1225DX: updated HP Envy M6 1225DX wireless adapter

  I'm looking to upgrade the card wireless in my HP Envy M6 1225DX.  Here are a few features on the machine:

  Product # D1E93UA #ABA

  CPU: Intel i5 - 3230M @ 2.6GHz

  RAM: 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM

  GPU: Intel HD graphics 4000

  Wireless: Ralink RT5390R 802.11bgn Wifi adapter

  OS: Windows 7 x 64 (I know that HP does not support this)

  BIOS version: F.26

  The wireless adapter that is currently installed (Ralink RT5390R) only supports SISO and the download speed tops out around 18-20Mbps.  I'm looking to replace this card with a card compatible MIMO and bluetooth, for example a 7260 Intel.

  I read on several forums that HP basically whitelists some cards wireless in BIOS.  I have reviewed the maintenance manual and it has a list of compatible cards I listed below:

  • Atheros WiFi 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 9485GN and 3012 adapter Bluetooth 4.0
  • Atheros 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 Bluetooth adapter Combo WB225
  • Broadcom 4313GN 1 × 1 WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 adapter 802.11b/g/n 20702
  • Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N WLAN 6230
  • MediaTek MT7630E 802.11bgn Wi - Fi adapter and adapter Mediatek Bluetooth 4.0
  • 1 × 1 Ralink RT5390R 802.11b/g/n WiFi adapter
  • RALink RT3290LE 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 690020-001 1 × 1
  • Atheros AR9565 1 × 1 WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 Combo Adapter 802.11b/g/n
  • Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 WLAN for the Japan only

  These are the only cards I can run in this machine?  I also read somewhere that HP no wireless adapter like whitelisting in the BIOS, and if that's the case, would a BIOS update fixed this problem?

  I've been watching the 7260 Intel, but I don't know if it would work and would not order it and he has no job.   This adapter could work in this phone or I am I'm confined to the list given in the service manual?  If I'm limited to the above list, no matter what recommendatins to the adapter that will give me what I'm looking for?

  Basically, what I'm looking for in a wireless adapter is:

  • Supports A/B/G/N and AC at 2.4 Ghz and 5.8 Ghz bands.
  • More high speed possible
  • Bluetooth 4.0
  • 1/2 height Mini PCIe form factor

• Wireless Assistant is on, wifi light stays orange, no networks detected

  DV9000T

  Windows XP sp3

  Intel wireless wifi link 4965AGN

  I used only the ethernet cable for internet access since I bought the new laptop. Now I need to use the laptop on the road and need wifi service. Said device adapter Wireless Manager is installed, has the latest drivers and works correctly, the wireless network connection is enabled as says it's working properly. With the ethernet cable disconnected, wireless Assistant works correctly, the current wireless broadcom LAN drivers are installed. The wifi button varies from Assistant wireless wireless wireless off on. Seeing orange for button wifi never never turns blue, some networks are.

  Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Success! Thank you for your fast help. I tried your recommendations 1-3, unsuccessfully, tried 4, but had no Recovery Manager on my computer, although I downloaded it later. I have yet to 5, but I was comfortable that go far if necessary. I had already updated the drivers through Internet HP site without success. The help of your suggestions and the treated well thought, I tried other sources to get the necessary software. I finally ended up at the Intel site and used the Intel Driver Update Utility, who has found a new driver and software that was not available at HP. I downloaded and installed the new software, and the wifi worked instantly, as well as the light changes to blue.

  I would not have found the solution without your help, and I am very grateful not only for your recommendations, but for how quickly you responded. You were a life saver, thank you!

• HP Wireless Assistant for Windows 8 (upgrade of Windows 7) (HP Probook 6450 b)

  Computer laptop HP ProBook 6450 b basic model

  Purchased in September 2011.

  Just yesterday upgraded to Windows 8. Was a child, all game worked initially. During the restart, I disabled the wireless since installation of Windows Defender wasnot.

  Then I realized, I can't turn on wireless. The button is just disabled.

  Can only be connected on the local network.

  Search on the web revealed HP Wireless Assistant be the culprit. This should be removed before the upgrade in Win 7.

  It is now too late.  Does anyone have a resolution for this one?

  Thank you

  I read in another post that changing the default BIOS settings should do the trick.

  That seems to work:

  -Stop the laptop

  -Remove the power cable & battery

  -Press the on switch for 30 seconds

  -Power home

  -Laptop power and press F10

  -Enter the BIOS and set the changes to default

  That seemed to work.

  Of course, restarting do not work and that is easy to fix (driven from power!).

  Thank you all for the advice.

  PS:

  Bought a mac & this laptop from h - p in 2011. Mac went through 2 operating system upgrades (cost $20) and "0"... questions

  Windows 7 to Windows 8 for $40 to upgrade and crazy questions...

• PC connection and wireless network?

  Only, I ordered my mom a HP Envy 5530 and have looked through the manual. I'm a little still well confused on which method to use to connect to the wireless network.

  Currently, she has a Canon printer & scanner connected to a PC via USB and I could leave them installed until I'm sure she'll love the envy... its router is connected to this PC.

  She would like to be able to use the 5530 for print & scan from the PC but also to print wireless from its iPhone / iPad.

  So should which method I use to connect the 5530 to PC & Wireless network?

  This is possible. Once the printer on the network, it can print from any device that is also on the network. In other words, if the PC is on the network, it can print her wireless too, she didn't need the USB cable connected to anything. If she wants to connect the USB cable to the computer on which is correct also. In the end, as long as the printer is configured for the network, she will be able to print from his iPhone and iPad!

  He didn't need a wireless adapter, the printer is equipped with a wireless radio which allows it to be configured for the network.

• Ethernet and Wireless NIC inoperative; can not be uninstalled; It comes after virus removal

  After a virus removal, which did not seem to remove the files that would make this kind of problem (in fact he only renamed infected files), my Broadcom network to the ethernet port interface cards (1) and (2) wireless networks and (3) nVidia network controller are inoperative.  (Exclamation point in Device Manager under Network Interfaces error 39 ' no driver not loaded"of course; all implemented by a device MS_PASSTHRUMP driver).  The system is a laptop running WinXP SP2 (with its double chips AMD processor THAT XP SP3 installs successfully not when I tried it).

  Just by the way, the virus scan from a Linux bootable CD based, which seems to be a great idea to prevent some nifty behavior that virii have evolved until today, when they can actually run out of danger.  I wish I knew why the renaming of non-critical files where virus signatures have been found could cause this kind of problem with all the network adapters on the system.  The only linked folder links to networking was in the HP wireless Assistant and I have always used the Windows installation for the control of the wireless connection. (More later on this scanner).

  Additional verification shows that any problem 3 NICs have 'pilot' charged by Windows (if you ask "Driver Details").  For 2 of the 3, there is another very similar device (the exception is the driver of the Mini IP WAN), with their drivers loaded, from which you can determine the driver files.  All driver files are present (especially in the Win/Sys32/Drivers/folder of course).  Non-working devices have all "»" added to their names, to be a unique name, I guess. "  Windows seems to ignore the other copies for use, but does not seem to deal with the extent of their drivers OK loading.

  I tried to disable the problem devices and reboot, but that solves nothing.  If I try to uninstall any of these devices of problem (so that they can be reinstalled?), this operation fails, a message "failed to uninstall; may device is used for the start. "  There is a boot in the BIOS of the ethernet option, but that is disabled in the BIOS.  I wonder if these three devices have been added by the virus as a "shell" around actual devices and drivers for viral use?  If so, just be able to remove the devices of hull could them might solve the problem. with the exception of the hooks, they could have placed in the original device drivers.

  I also tried to reinstall these devices from the files of data recovery of manufacturer (HP) and that seems to unfold, but does not change anything about the netwrok connectivity.

  Things work to the point that a ping to itself (127.0.0.1) succeeds, so stack IP seems to works, but trying to ping the gateway router (which connects the laptop), fails - I used the ethernet (wired) connection in time.

  Tried to go back to a previous restore point, but who also does not work.  The Windows shell commits a violation of memory protection (each time) when you try to restart using (any) previous restore point, so the system restore undoes any changes he might have done could have fixed the issues above.

  Many details above.  I am looking for no idea regarding: (a) what could happen here, (b) how the network problem cards make installable again to get rid of them, (c) any other thing that might apply.

  Thank you.

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

  November 5, 2009

  Problem solved.  Here's how.

  The blackout "Network Interface Cards" were virtual devices, created by the Virus.

  Steps, I made before the previous post (above):
  (1) unplug the machine infected of all access to the internet.
  (2) on another computer, I went to http://www.free-av.com/, click on the download tab and under "Free tools" at the bottom, chosen Avira AntiVir Rescue System.  Then I downloaded it, run, and it burned a bootable "rescue CD".
  (3) has taken the CD for infected people kicked and machine from him.  If you cannot open your CD with power off, another way is to start the system, insert the CD, then restart the system.  Pay attention to all messages early in the boot process before Windows loads.  Depending on your system configuration, you may need to change the boot sequence so that the CD drive is checked before the hard drive.  It's usually pretty easy to do, once you pressed the right key during startup to indicate you want to take control of this small point.
  (4) I forgot the exact option here once the CD boot system, but select that you want to run the virus scan.  It took about 2 hours on my laptop.  The initial default is report results only; I suggest to change that to rename infected files (which will add an XXX at the end of any "infected" file).  The analysis is quite complete, but can be overagressive at times.  It is not a complete scan, given that the big Compact files assessed completely.  Recording on paper for future reference: all of the alerts that were generated, the path and name of the file and the reason for the alert.  Some will probably be partial matches to the viral bosses identified as 'contains a model of detection' (a partial match suspicious), rather than 'contains the threat XYZ' (which means that all paired for identification).  Some of the files "suspicious" may be essential to the operation of your system and you want to UN-rename them back to their original name.  If in doubt, check with someone who knows the PCs.
  (5) now you should have a system contains it a neutralized virus to work for removal.  That's where I was when I filed the report.  My major issue remaining before cleaning the pieces of virus, which was now there is no internet access, no cable, no wireless on the infected system.

  OK, so what next?  My infection cause a virus named ndisvvan.sys driver.  If you also have this bad actor, then you may want to read in detail.  If not, then the following may, or do not apply to your case.

  (6) first, in Windows Explorer (let us remember that we are in Win XP), click on tools, then Folder Options... and select the view tab.  Go to the bottom of the list and select "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "hide the file Extensions known Types.  We will need to go into the hidden folders and know exactly the type of file that we deal with.  I guess it goes without saying that yu has to be a system administrator for what to do next.  Win Vista it makes it much more difficult, since sometimes the administrator has no access to all the files that have been installed by a different administrator ID.  It must mess with you give permission, or appropriate, the files you need to access.  I suggest to make a new folder ("VirusParts") to store all the files that you find on the virus, until you are ready to delete them forever.
  (7) first of all, open the file C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS (now called HOSTSXXX) and move this file to your VirusParts folder.  This part of your internet access is now unlocked.
  (8) then go to C:\WINDOWS\inf, and browse for the files netsf.inf, netsf. PNF, netsf_m.inf and netsf_m.PNF.  These are the files that most likely loading drivers virus in your system.  Having a peek inside .inf files can help you identify some of the changes made by the virus to your registry.  The virus probably also created a new service on your machine.  In my case, the service was named Passthru, and device to implement ms_passthrump (Microsoft Passthru Miniport).  These names are actually from a document from Microsoft that explains how to develop programs of virtual device to filter the data goes or network devices.  If these are directly related to your virus, the program driver specified inside them will be none other than our ndisvvan.sys enemy.  Research in .inf files (these are files text; the.) The PNF files are binary, not text) can help identify the service or services that the virus added to your system, which are now (essentially) a part of the operating system that starts automatically with Windows.  Since there is no virus in the .inf or the. The PNF files, they will not be detected by an antivirus.  All .inf files sort in order of the date and time of creation.  Suspect not with a close date of one of the files netsf.inf and netsf_m.inf.  Windows compile .inf files in the. PNF files, which can occur a few days later, when windows moves to this task.  If you find these files, move them to your VirusParts folder where they can not be recharged.
  (9) to start the Panel (from the start menu), double-click 'System', then select the Hardware tab, then click the Device Manager button.  Expand the category of Network Interfaces, and some of them should have an exclamation point in a yellow circle showing.  If you right-click on each one and select Properties, you should see an error 39 (driver not found; the antivirus program renamed their ndisvvan.sys file).  If you click on the other tabs in the properties, you can find the device is something like ROOT\MS_PASSTHRUMP\0000.  Now, you know that you are very likely to something.  I had three devices affected with numbers 0000, 0001 and 0002.  Carefully note the names of the Network Interfaces.  Two of my friends were identical to the names of other Interfaces of network but with "»" added.  The interface of third-party network with a problem was named 'Miniport network EXPANDED (IP) -'.  But there is no corresponding legitimate network interface of the same name.  Common Council to recharge a bad driver is uninstall, no new hardware detection and let windows reload from .inf file specifications.  However, if you try to uninstall these interfaces (those with here in exclamation points) Windows tells you that they can't be uninstalled and "perhaps it is used to start" or other similar term.
  (10) this part is a bit tricky.  Ask someone who knows how to work with the Windows registry, if you're not on this topic.  Mistakes here can have disastrous results.  Enough said?  If you search the registry for "passthru", you will get several matches, mostly related in one way or another for the virus and his new 'service '.
  Under a path like HKEY_USER_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\MS_PASSTHRUMP\0000, you will find information as the name of the interface (make sure it matches the name that you noted earlier) and manages a definition of tha of the pilot program.  For example {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} \0014.  Do the same for MS_PASSTHRUMP\0001 (probably {... (10318} \0015) and \0002 (probably {... (10318} \0016).  The string of numbers and letters within the {...} identifies a particular program for windows, and the \0014 a particular use of the program {... 10318} is actually a standard part of windows and not a part of the virus.  However, uses \0014 \0015 and \0016 of this program have probably added by the virus.  Save the links: MS_PASSTHRUMP\0000 related to {... 10318} \0014.  Now, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Class and you will find a long list of class programs identified by their number {...}.  I suggest from the end of the list and the expansion of each occurrence of our {... 10318} in the list, one by one.  If you select the subitems in the extension of this list, each device has a name.  You are looking for Netwrok Interface devices.  Under the instance of our {... network interface devices 10318} it will be to the less 0014 points and probably at least 0016 (based on the links that we just recorded). 0014 resembled a legitimate wireless LAN interface, so I don't mess with this definition.  However 0015 and 0016 looked like they have been added by the virus.  Inside of each specification, you will find a key named "characteristic".  Its value is what prevents us from uninstall the network interface in the Device Manager.  Its value is a hexadecimal value that integrates several indicators for Windows.  In particular, the value 0 x 20 is the bit that specifies that the device cannot be uninstalled by the user, and 0x08 tells windows ' hide ' this device of the user.  Almost all of my devices had characteristics codes 0 x 29, including those created by the virus.  (I don't know; others might have been modified by the virus, but that seems a bit unlikely).  In any case, for the interfaces added by the virus, network we need to change their characteristic values of 0 x 29 something like 0 x 1 (you can also display the device).  Note that changing the characteristic value is a reversible operation that is likely to harm anything in the system.  We can always go back and change it back to 0 x 29, if we have not uninstalled the device.  In my case, I put the characteristics values on 0 x 1 for 0015-0016 devices, which looked like, they were added by the virus.  I did this in the CurrentControlSet control set and for good measure repeated it in ControlSet001 and ControlSet002 registry.  (Windows retains backups of critical information in the registry, in the different ControlSets and creates the CurrentControlSet Control at the system startup set.)
  (11) now return the Control Panel, then system, then the Hardware tab and then the Device Manager button.  Now you should be able to uninstall the network with exclamation points interfaces in the yellow circles, those we checked earlier was connected to the ndisvvan.sys driver of virus, using the MS_PASSTHRUMP interfaces for Passthru Windows service.  Since it's virtual devices, and we removed their .inf and. The PNF files, they're not coming after we uninstall them.
  (12) now, we have removed the network interface drivers that are added by the virus, but legitimate real pilots are not connected in the system correctly, so our internet connection still does not work.  We need to re - install the drivers of legitimate network interface.  To do this, in the device, right-click Manager and uninstall the device controller network legitimate.  On my HP laptop, it was named "nVidia nForce Network Controller".  After uninstallation, in the window menu in Device Manager, click Actions, and then select "Scan for hardware changes".  Windows should report that she has found a new network interface device and that it is set up, and in a minute or two, it is ready for use.  At this point, on my system, both the wired ethernet port and wireless LAN bustled again.

  I still have to go around cleaning the files renamed by the antivirus program and get them out of the PC, but at least the PC is now working without virus.  The virus may also have damaged the process of restoration of the system, which still fails to restore the previous system configuration.  (Windows Explorer always creates an exception address on reboot).  I still need to work on this problem.  The virus 'off' system restore for all drives by using a parameter, however the TWEAKUI tool (I think it was what I used) allowed me to override this setting and control of group policy.

  There are a lot of viruses out there who adopts this method to take control of low level of connections from the PC to the internet, while allowing to download more viruses and keyloggers in the future in respect of the remote control.  Some of these viruses attach also to the many many files the user program.  In this case it has little alternative except to wipe the drive and start over with a clean, install since often these files cannot be cleaned.  Fortunately, my infection was not serious, and it was possible to remove the virus as described above.  I hope this description helps somebody out there.

  This answer is just a formality to change the resolved state.

• Wireless Assistant stopped working

  Wireless Assistant has become invalid. I lost the icon on the task bar when in Control Panel, the wireless assistant won't open to allow me to enable it. I got it workingafter Download Driver Wizard wireless and wireless WLAn driver from Broadcom. When I restarted after it was no longer available and I could not get it working again

  I know it's late, but if all goes well, it will help others like me. I tried everything to fix this. I also have a HP Pavilion dv6000 equipped of Vista. After working twice because of this, I now know the problem is with the battery. Both times this happened to me, I did turn on (battery in poor condition). I used all the Microsoft tools, called HP (who wanted me to ship it to them to be repaired for about $400), re-installed the drivers and software and so on and so forth.

  Here's what seems to work:

  Make sure you have re-installed the drivers of wireless network using the Recovery Manager: do not reboot until you have re-installed (mine were theBroadcom 802.11 network adapter driverandVista driver - Broadcom wireless LAN). Make sure that you running on AC. pull the battery and let then restart. You should arrive at Vista all reloading and grateful for your wireless adapter and be back in business. Do not know what will happen if I put the battery back in, but will try.

  It would be interesting to see if it is enough to remove the battery and restart would have worked as well. Well, if you're like me you'll be happy just get the damn thing working again.
