HP ENVY 15-k238nd: impressive machine with wifi not so good? 72Mbps is normal that thing of bgn Broadcom 802.11 BCM43142?

This machine, HP ENVY 15-k238nd is quite the internal parts. Apparently, it was an outgoing model so I got it cheap in November.

GTX video card. Reasonably fast processor i5 to 5200. 8 GB of RAM. Full HD screen. Wonderful. Really.

Until I connect to Wifi.

I was wondering why my child was always complaining about lag in minecraft. I have a 100 Mbps fiber-optic connection. I just installed two new grade expensive company AC for fast WIFI access points. But it seems that this HP beast will get no more 72Mbps AP. Speedtest.net, indicates a maximum speed of 21Mbp.

My MacBook Pro does 856 Mbps, speedtest.net: 92 MB/s.

My laptop Windows EIGHT years with the first generation Intel 4965AGN who is breathing wheezing and puffing along in all other departments yet running WIFI to a strong 300 Mbps, with the same speedtest numbers: 91 MB/s.

HP support has been very helpful to the research on the thing and the installation of other drivers and even made a reset system (that killed my son minecraft records) which did not help. I think that the card will not do more than that. 1 x 1 antenna? Why isn't supported HP recognize that early? Their technician worked for three hours with me. It's got to cost more than a map of network plus reasonable?

Is it possible to install another of the miriad of cheap DFÜ AC that are available? The guide shows only this Broadcom. Anyone? Y at - it another card that might work? On the net, there are stories of the years on this map. How is it still stuck HP that align it's less cheap laptops with all the other components that are very respectable?

Resolution: I bought an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 card. Not a specific card, just an Intel AC-7260 HP. Dial-up with no problem and the networking is now incredibly fast. Problem solved.

I hope in future HP stop economy tithes on a portable Euro 800 and he equip with a consequence good network card.

I am disabled Navy and this tablet is everything to me. Really hate get to other windows tablets, but I can't wait for Microsoft to fix it anytime soon, always users having problems with wifi on sp2 there. You would think that new sp3 would be RM, it issues the first time wifi.  I tried the program speedtest and everything but Corpus Christi is just sitting there, so that 72 Meg, 9 place San Marcos.

  • Turn computers virtual with specific notes

    Greetings,

    I'm trying to create script powerCLI, which feeds on virtual machines with specific notes.

    For example, after disaster or maintenance, must be powered only the VM which has "HA." Is it possible to implement this using powerCLI?

    I suspect that the start-VM does not crash, but the cmdlet waits for the virtual machine must be started, the Start-VM cmdlet runs by default in sync mode. In other words, it waits until the client is started.

    If you prefer not to wait, you can do

    Get - VM | where {$_.} Note - match 'HA'} | Start-VM-confirm: $false - RunAsync

    But beware that this will create a storm of boot of VMs that can put a heavy load on your servers ESX (i).

    You can combine this as follows

    Get-Cluster $clustername | Get - VM | where {$_.} Note - match 'HA'} | Start-VM-confirm: $false - RunAsync

Sometimes the wifi works, sometimes it doesn't... often I have to go through the procedure of the full wizard and re-install the password of our wifi (which is a mile long, so it's not phone). Wifi works throughout the House and is strong, so is not the issue. the little blue light flashes and turns off right now, and disconnect, restart it, nothing seems to make it work

    then, suddenly, if he decides-it can print a page.

    It has been 18 months since I bought it and I just want to scream. I have wasted hours and hours of my day coaxing to work!

    I've never managed to get the scanner to work, either...

    Can someone please help! I use Mac - OSX 10.95 products

    Hey @janinedigi,

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support. I hope you enjoy your experience here.

    I understand that you experience an unstable WiFi connection when you use your HP ENVY 114 e-all-in-one printer.  I would like to help.

    When users report this kind of problem, I generally recommend from scratch with the installation program. Namely, start this process of restoring factory default values * of your printer.  Here's how:

    * Note that this step resets the setting up your printer wireless, address ePrint and other custom print settings. If you have created a custom address @hpeprint.com it is permanently erased. For more information about custom addresses ePrint, click here.

    • In the front panel of your printer, press Setup key wrench
    • Touch tools
    • Support on restore defaults.

    Then fix permissions of the disc on your Mac - click here for instructions.

    Once you complete these steps, you will need to re-enable wireless and Web services (if you are a user of ePrint).  Before doing this, click here for extensive troubleshooting and configuration steps for the question says that you are a statement.  Work your way through the Solutions in the order presented.

    Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  If I helped you to solve the problem, feel free to say "You rock!" by clicking the "Thumbs Up" icon below and by clicking to accept this solution.

  • Problem with WiFi connectivity

    Hello everyone.

    Since yesterday my Macbook pro (mid-2012; Retina), El Capitan 10.11.6, running acted. I am able to connect to my home router when I'm on OS X. But when I switch to Windows 10 (with bootcamp) he connects to it even before I am able to connect. My IPhone and my IPad have no problem whatsoever. The problem probably occurred a week after I stopped the machine and turn it back would not see my router, but it has been resolved with a simple reboot. However, last night I came home from college and were not able to connect or see it at all. I searched the forums, tried all the stuff help wireless, did the round with the location, reset preferences and nothing has worked. When I go to University I have no problem connecting to the network out there on a BONE. I was not able to find anything else that could help me so I turn to the community to see if anyone has had similar problems and, hopefully, a solution.

    Thank you.

    Hey Kasiopeous,

    If I understand correctly, the MacBook Pro does not connect to your home WiFi network. Other devices are able to connect at home, and the MacBook Pro is able to connect to other networks.  Looks like you already have a troubleshooting.
    I recommend you read these articles, which may be able to help solve the problem.

    Hi Captainsniz

    There are a few things to try. Keep doing this until the problem disappears.

    First of all, if you have not already, shut down the computer completely, wait about 1 minute, then restart.

    Disconnect the wifi network either via system preferences, either by pressing the "Option" key and clicking on the wifi menu bar icon.

    Reset the DHCP lease by going to system preferences > network and show Advanced Options, and then click the button to "Renew the DHCP lease" TCP/IP tab.

    You can delete the wifi network of system preferences > network > network name... then close system preferences. Then reopen and add the network in.

    You can also restart your wifi router, it erases the old connections. Most of the routers you just turn off and wait a few minutes, then restart. You can also reset your ISP modem if you have a.

    Finally, you can try to reset the PRAM and SMC on your Mac. I'll get this info here on Apple Support KBs for your particular Mac.

    Be sure to back up your computer.

    Hope this helps, Greg

  • Problem with WiFi RTM of Windows 8

    I have a Pavilion HDX9000T CTO Notebook PC, the Dragon.

    HP is only supported for Windows Vista for this machine, I had been running Windows 7 without problem.

    I want to use Windows 8, and I have access to the Windows 8 RTM through MSDN Microsoft Developer.

    I installed Windows 8 Enterprise on my HDX9300 and wireless network card does not.

    I did a clean install, so that it uses the drivers supplied with Windows 8.

    Device Manager indicates that the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN works properly, but Windows shows that WiFi is disabled.

    The WiFi button on the keyboard of the laptop is blue and goes orange when I touch and goes back to blue when I touch again.

    I don't know if it's a driver problem, or something particular about how wifi works on this laptop or maybe something Microsoft can fix in Windows.

    Of course, I wish I could make it work so I can use Windows 8 on this machine.

    Hi, Bren:

    Yes, the wireless assistant is probably the problem.

    Replace the portable W7.

    You must have wireless for the laptop with the wireless assistant. You can uninstall the wireless assistant.

    Check to make sure that the wireless adapter is always on and connected to the internet, even with the uninstalled W/A.

    Now you should be able to clean install W8 and the rest of the work wireless.

  • How to configure NAT for Hyper-V on laptop with wifi, wired and vpn connectivity

    Me, as I suspect a lot of people, I have a laptop with WiFi connection, cable connection and VPN connection (Cisco AnyConnect), which

    also uses a virtual adapter (activated when active). I searched for some time a way to be able to move to

    Hyper-V in VirtualBox. Blocker full for me is the need for a lot of my virtual machines to be able to connect to the

    Internet through 'the connection active' in the way that VirtualBox and VMWare Workstation/Player through their NAT feature.

    I'm not a networking wait, but after looking around, can't seem to find something that is simple enough for me to configure,

    with a minimum of resources, which allows me to connect a Hyper-V virtual network via a simple NAT device adapter

    all three potential network connections - most seem to not assume that one connection out of the machine, which of course does not

    me what I want.

    Three questions:

    1. is there a Windows application available that an adapter (like loopback) internal which acts as a real NAT device to one of the surfaces

    external access via the active network connections and through the Windows Firewall and any other antivirus, components etc. for

    the road to (i.e. behaves like a "normal app" inside Windows for internet access)? It would be the best option, because it would be

    "always there" when I run virtual machines

    2. display of my lack of knowledge around this feature, don't RRAS (and I know that this is not an option "minimum contact") allow you to

    Connect an internal network adapter to several external network adapters?

    3. on the Linux/OpenBSD various base/NAT routers, are everything that allow several external adapters and who are

    relatively easy to set up (by an independent expert of the network)?

    Really, we could do with this feature for Hyper-V on the desktop, but willing to work around him, if there is a way to at least the

    use virtual machines, once it is easy to install.

  • How users share a virtual machine with the level of access under total control?

    Hello

    In our Lab Manager environment, we have created workspaces and users can create and share virtual machines in these workspaces. The problem is the level of access only I can see when users share virtual machines is read-only. How can users share their machines with other users with the full control access level?

    Thank you.

    It is a constraint of security designed to prevent the full control permission, being too easy accidentally to give everyone in a system.

    The answer depends on whether you have PF3 or LM4.

    Behavior of PF3: share to everyone in an org is read-only, while sharing a physical person should give you full read/write/control

    LM4 behavior: share in all the world in an org, individuals selected in an org or anyone in a different workspace == read-only, while in the same workspace gives you the opportunity.

    That said, total control: the ability to deploy/undeploy it or change the settings of the virtual machine, NOT if the specified user has write access the console.  The distinction is quite important.

    Also, page followed, but he had the wrong information, there may be an arbitrary number of connections of the competing console to the same VM (oh, I'm sure that there is a limit, but I did not deliberately try to find).  It does give the impression that several people are faced with the same mouse and keyboard...
