HP HDX 16 wireless problem solved

In the case where this is of interest to someone, I bought a HDX 16-1370 notebook pc a week ago and had problems connecting to my wireless home network. The link was tenuous at best, and even if I am stayed connected for a while, upload/download speed was about 1/10th of what I expected. Even after doing a system recovery (get help from HP support), following suggestions from this forum, and upgrade the driver for the card wireless (Intel 5100), problems persist. Finally, I replaced my LinkSys 801.11 b with a router LinkSys WRT54GL router and my problems have disappeared. I'm a happy camper now.

Thanks for the informative post!

  • ZBook 14 wireless problem solved!

    For a few months now, my ZBook 14 (still under warranty) drivers wireless (Intel Wireless - N 7260 BN) were not loading at startup about 50% of the time.  Pilots would almost always successfully load if I restarted, but it was aggravating circumstances somehow.  I called HP Elite ZBook Technical Support and they walked me through several stages, including the uninstall and re - install the latest drivers, but nothing helped.  They arranged for a HP field Support Technician (FST) to install a new wireless card.  Personally, I thought it was a hardware problem, but that seemed to be their next step.

    So, today, their TSP arrived and quickly installed my new wireless card.  Well, it does not solve my problem, so she put the old card in and then began to make inquiries.  What she found is that even though my computer reported that he had the latest version of the BIOS installed, there is NO!  06/02/15, I allowed my computer to update to the latest version of the BIOS, which then was 01.30 (release date 09/12/14).  However, she discovered that a subsequent update of the BIOS (01.30 A) had been released only a week after the patch (dated 12/15/14) 01.30 in the desription of the BIOS update he said that it was precisely to add support for my card Intel Wireless-N 7260 BN

    Big CONGRATULATIONS to the girl TSPS for gap identification and the new installation of the BIOS update solved my wireless card problems!  I apparently never thought that because my computer reported that he had the latest version of the BIOS installed, and which does not recognize my "HP Support Assistant" software it was a newer BIOS available, either!

    Just for an update, even after my ZBook is update to the latest version of the BIOS (01.30 A), my "HP Support Assistant" software always reports that my version of BIOS is 01.30.  It of like the software recognizes numeric characters, but can not see the Alpha "A" character.  Just thought that info may help someone.  Proof that you can't ALWAYS trust your HP Support Assistant software...

  • R50 Wireless problems

    I had a virus on my laptop, a R50 Thinkpad Type 1830 and had to do a complete reinstall. The only problem is that the installation disc was not for the laptop, but rather for my office.
    Since the virus has infected my computer, I have not been able to add my network connection. In Device Manager, there is no evidence for a wireless network card. I guess that's what is my problem.
    I have gone to the age of the R50 and downloaded all the drivers I could find. Yet it does not show any wireless adapter. There is more than one driver to download and not one of them works. I'm naïve about how I know what type of adapter on this computer. I'm not very tech savvy.
    I have a non-working R50 that I can open and take no need for parts, but I think it's unnecessary.
    I am beyond frustrated trying to understand this point and probably eventually find another laptop used. But in the meantime, if I could connect wirelessly, it would be great!
    If I downloaded all the drivers on the site, why wouldn't it show up in my device manager? And there is something under "Other devices" and has a big yellow question mark. It is titled "Network controller" I can't understand what it is for and how to make it work.

    Can someone help me?

    Problem solved! I found the right driver and clicking setup and everything is good now...

  • WAG200G wireless problems

    Hi guys,.

    I recently bought the WAG200G and set up and it was working fine. After a month, the problem that has arisen is as follows:

    I try to search for wireless (WLAN) network but can not find. The PC that is connected via the cable works well, but used to connect wireless devices cannot locate the WLAN.

    As I told you, everything suddenly worked without Wi - Fi and fine including (WLAN). I change all the parameters, without power cuts too.

    All solutions,

    Kind regards

    Problem solved. Replaced unit.

  • Camera not properly initialize since v. 4 - PROBLEM SOLVED

    I'll preface this with have not only I've done several ' resets all the ', I deleted all the files from camera loaded on the SD card that have been created in v.3 and after 'Reset All' was performed manually via the menu and re configure all my preferences instead of loading old sound of the SD card.

    With that of the road, my problem is 80% of the time that I start the camera with power supply or a battery, the unit freezes at the Sony logo on the submenu. Power must be cut (which has no effect), power removed/disconnected, wait the Sony logo screen disappears and then try to restart. It usually takes 2-4 trys until the camera manages to move to the "Sony" screen and performs full initialization upward. IM dreading the day that this happens on a job and the camera completely fails to start completely. I NEVER had this problem with all previous firmwares. Anyone else having this problem and any advice on how to solve this problem?...

    Side note: my first F5 made the day I brought home from Abel a year ago, but in this case the start of Sony screen wouldn't go away no matter what I or Able tried to do. They talked to Sony and said send it back, fortunately Abel gave me a new on-site and I never knew the question once again. Until now...

    UPDATE: May 30 - problem solved.

    Well it seems that everything has been healed. I went to Sony to Teaneck service yesterday and they replaced "PCB of HIF - 64" or, as we have been referring to him as the SDI card. Also updated the wheel to stop ND, design much better. Engineers, that I talked to had seen cameras having the same problem as me and reinstallation of the map is the apparent cure. Spoke with a Senior technician there for a good 45 minutes a range of topics. Was'nt able to get new information out of him, but he was very helpful and insightful no less. He said that the Japan is aware of the issue of sensor grid that some people have, but they have not been told that the solution will be even.

    Thank you Alister, I'll give them both a go and communicate the results.

  • Problem-solving with HP2311x and ProBook6455b

    Hello

    I have a problem-solving with portable HP2311x and ProBook6455b.

    Maximum resolution is 1600 X 1200

    Current display driver is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200

    However, my HP monitor supports the 1920 X 1080.

    I used only the external monitor without using the laptop monitor and the maximum resolution is always to 1600 x 1200.

    I also downloaded the drivers recommended by HP, but it does not solve the issue.

    I also tried with the drivers provided by AMD, but I get still more low resolution (1280 x 768) because the driver software detects is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250

    When I try to use the AMD Vision Engine Control Center stops unexpectedly

    I have conteacted
    Portrait Displays, Inc..
    http://support.portrait.com

    But they suggested me to contact HP because they were not able to solve my problem.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Kind regards.

    I understand that you are not able to use the full resolution of the monitor even when the screen of the laptop is out of the question.

    Ensure that the system has the right driver for the monitor found here.

    You can try the support business forums as it appears that the two components are business models.

  • WAG320N wireless problems

    I am having major problems with my Linksys WAG320N. Hoping someone here can help as I am quite clueless when it comes to networking.

    Without changing the settings, the other day that my Macbook Pro could not connect and he kept saying 'timeout '. From that point my iPhone also refused to sign, although access to the internet on my MBP viaethernet was fine.

    I did a hard reset according to the instructions of this forum, and then re-configured with the installation CD. The router wireless light was turned on but my MBP did not see the network. Finally, I managed to connect after I restarted my laptop and enjoyed every 10 minutes without internet connectivity before wireless problem network come fall and now does not appear in my list of networks once again, even if the wireless light is still on.

    Ethernet connection still works, but not via the wireless.

    I restarted my laptop and the router and tried switching channels on the router, all to nothing done. Very confused and frustrated!

    Someone at - it suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.
