HP Media Center PC unable to acess wifi networks

I recently moved and just unpacked my HP Media Center PC desktop computer that is running Windows Vista.

I have 2 other computers running on my network wifi with no problem, one Mac and a PC. For some reason, it seems that on the HP Media Center PC wireless LAN is not working. He cannot recognize all networks in my building, and I know that there is a lot of range, including the one that set up for the apartment.

Is it possible to toggle the wifi on the desktop? What can I do to check/fix/activate? I googled had a ton of stuff, none of which seemed to work.

Thank you!

Hello mattyg12, as I see it, the wireless card requires and external antena, as mentioned in the book loads.

I've never seen a without an external antena internal wireless card, but there may be some.

The built-in wireless adapter may have worked at your other place without external antena, if the computer was close to the wireless router. The wireless signal would be greatly reduced without external antena.

You can buy these antenas from many sources at a reasonable price if you do not find one that should have been shipped with your system.

You can also buy a wiresless USB adapter that fits simply into an available USB port. I have used many of them, and they work great.

I don't think that you will never get the wireless computer to connect to the router or another device like a USB adapter wireless wireless wireless without the antena.

If you go with the USB adapter, you will need to enter the Device Manager and disable the current wireless (the one without the antena) device so it would not conflict with a USB wireless adapter.

I hope this helps.

  • Windows Media Center is unable to output Dolby Digital/DTS via SPDIF... only stereo PCM is sent

    Hello

    I recently bought a desktop computer HP Pavilion with Vista Home Premium (64 bit) 5150t.  The PC comes with a TV tuner and it works well with Media Center except that it cannot output Dolby Digital (or the other program on the air with JJ or DVDs of films that have a DD) outside of my A / V receiver.

    My Board has Realtek HD Audio and I activated the digital (SPDIF) output in its program.  I put the "Properties" of the digital output in support of * TWO * DTS and Dolby Digital encoding.  When I press the 'Test' button for either format, outside A / V receiver correctly recognizes the format, so the problem is not with my receiver.

    Read forums and online help notes, I strongly suspect that the codec MPEG-2 by default for Windows Media Center is not configured correctly for cross DD or DTS - it somehow always stereo down-Mix before sending to SPDIF.  Could you tell me how to check and change codec setting?  Thank you!

    -Colin

    Hi Chow Ho.
     
    This problem occurs because the DirectShow component and audio decoder MPEG2 in Windows Vista does not correctly support DTS pass through S/PDIF or HDMI.
     
    To work around this problem, click to select the box Audio DTS and Dolby Digital check box in the SPDIF Out properties dialog box or the dialog box Properties of HDMI Out .

  • ATV4 is unable to see WiFi networks

    Each time my new ATV4 (TvOS 9.2.1) will lose the WiFi connection. When I try to reconnect it "sees" no WiFi network at all. My other devices (MacMini and several iPhones and iPads, smart TV, etc.) have no trouble finding my WiFi network or those of my neighbours. The ATV4 is almost line-of-sight with and about 3 meters (10 feet) from my router. My other ATV4, which was originally two concrete walls, never loses the WiFi connection.

    The new ATV4 always restarting fixes the problem, but it seems that I wouldn't restart the ATV so that he can see the available WiFi networks.

    I'd be inclined to try somewhere else to try to determine if the problem is inherent or due to your environment.

  • Windows Media Center learned remote control cable, cannot recognize the Windows Media Center remote control

    Running Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I rent a cable box so I can get some programs at the 3-digit level.  When I've set up my Windows Media Center (WMC), WMC learn successfully the cable box remote 1 - channel upward.  My problem is the next step and change the channel using the Windows Media Center remote control or keyboard.  My keyboard or the WMC remote will change the channel.

    I got Windows Media Center to re - learn the cable box remote control twice, which is always successful, but again once, when the time comes to use the Windows Media Center remote control or my keyboard to change the channel, the channel does not change.

    Could someone please help me with this?  Thank you in advance.

    Hey kansascitykid,

    If you receive your TV signal through a set-top box and Media Center is unable to change the channel, or it changes channels incorrectly, check the following:

    ·        The infrared diffuser is connected to your remote control receiver. If the infrared diffuser is not connected, Media Center cannot send a signal to the set-top box to change a channel.

    ·        The infrared diffuser is well positioned at the front of the set - top box. If you are having trouble placing the IR blaster on the set - top box correctly, try to use a flashlight to locate the signal on the set - top box receiver.

    ·        IR control codes are configured correctly. If constantly changing channels, control IR codes may not have been configured correctly during the installation of TV signal. To reconfigure your TV signal, on the Windows Media Center start screen, highlight toTasks, clickSettings, click on TV, then clickSet up the TV Signal.

    • Center cannot send a signal to the set-top box to change a channel.
