I can't connect to wifi?

Hello

For awhile now, my laptop does not connect to WiFi, it will not show again all WiFi connections. I have read questions posted by others on this site and I've tried steps as the removal of all WiFi connections made in the pass, troubleshooting and following the steps, etc. Troubleshooting continues to advise me to activate the wireless feature and I do, but it doesn't seem to register? He always tells me that it is off, even if it's on. I have had absolutely no problem before, I don't know if I clicked accidentally something settings, but has happened for some time now and I really want to solve this problem because I use a cable Ethernet instead of WiFi which is very inconvenient.

Hello

Check with the system manufacturer, their documentation support online and drivers,
and ask questions in the forums about known problems. Some laptops have access to keys
turn the WiFi on and off.

Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon:

Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click
top - tab of the driver - write version - click on update driver (can't do
nothing that MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Then right click on the Wifi
Device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually
using the methods below is preferable to ensure that the latest system drivers
Creator and device manufacturers are located)
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

------------------------------------------------------

Make sure you know the details of connection to your wireless router - SSID and password.

You lose connection when you do and have to redo your logon.

Control Panel - Network & Sharing Center - left side, click on manage
Remove the wireless network - right-click of networks - networks-
RESET. Start - Connect To - to log on to the network.

I hope this helps.

  • How can I connect using wifi?

    I can't connect to an extract using wifi.

    The first thing to check is to see if the preview work if you connect your iPhone/iPad to your computer via a USB cable.  If USB does not work, but you still want to use wifi, then here are some things to check.

    For wifi, here are a few suggestions:

    1. Make sure that you have installed Photoshop CC 2015 updates, as have been some improvements in wifi connection.
    2. Make sure that you have signed in the creative cloud by using the same user account in the creative cloud desktop application and the iOS Preview app. To verify which user account is used on your computer, launch Photoshop CC 2015 > open the menu help > and confirm that you see your Adobe ID listed next to "logout".
    3. So that your device to appear in the device Preview Panel in Photoshop, the iOS app preview must be open and you must be logged in. Believe you that your device is listed in the overview of the unit Panel? You see the preview with instructions telling icon to launch the application and connect via USB or wifi?
    4. Make sure that your computer and your iOS device are on the same wi - fi network.  The overview of the unit Panel now displays a warning icon and a link to troubleshooting if there is a problem connecting via wifi to the computer running Photoshop for the device that is running the iOS Preview CC app.
    5. WiFi connections can now be initiated using the button "Check for Devices ' in the overview of the device Panel. If you have already connected devices, you will see a refresh button in the Panel that allows you to check for new wifi devices. Preview will automatically check for new wifi devices when you do one of the following: first launch Photoshop (if the Panel is open); Open the control panel; Open a document; or documents. Devices connected via USB are not affected by this change and will be always automatically connect.
    6. Make sure that your computer and your iOS device are on the same wireless subnet.
    7. If you use VPN on your computer or iOS device, try to disconnect from the VPN and then try to connect in the preview.
    8. If you have a firewall running, try to disable it temporarily and see if it is related to the problem.
    9. If you still have difficulty getting a wifi connection works, please send an email to [email protected] and tell us where you have wifi problems. At home? At work? Please let us also know what wifi equipment you use.

  • Can I connect to wifi using an older version of XP pro?

    Hi, I tried to connect to a wifi system library with my Windows XP pro system. The OS is the drive immediately and has not been updated. It does not seem an option in "Network connections" for the wireless, but it has broadband services. I tried to connect with it, but without success. I don't see any of the available wifi signals shown. I have to upgrade to a later version of XP to see the 'Wireless Network Connection' option? The problem is, I have no way to upgrade, unless I can do it by downloading the file to update with my other computer that connects. Is it possible to connect with the XP version I have? Thank you very much!

    The basic problem is that when Windows is freshly installed ("just behind the disc") missing drivers for a large number of materials, including in the case of laptops, which often use custom hardware.

    You need to go to http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19?c=us&l=en&s=dhs and enter the Service of Dell (which is supposed to access you a page of download from Dell that uses drivers for your particular hardware configuration, rather than all the drivers for your Dell generic type).

    Dell recommends that the drivers are installed in a particular order: http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/04/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&docid=DSN_1A0C0937D62A8739E0401E0A55174744

    The Broadcom driver that you have installed is to the network (wired) Ethernet controller.  You must also install the driver for the wireless card.  Dell has installed several different models of wireless cards in the Latitude D620.  If using the Service tag, it does not narrow down, see if you can identify the make and model by looking at the entries in the Device Manager for the "Network controller" or "unknown device".

    You can also see if the system information tool (start > run > msinfo32.exe > OK) provides information of brand and model of the wireless card.  Go to components > network (not, as you might assume, under "Resources").

  • I can't connect to wifi with router WRT54G2 v1 with Windows 7

    Hi everyone: I have a Linksys WRT54G2 V1 and since I bought my new laptop with Windows 7 I can't access wifi.

    I have another laptop computers equipped with Windows Vista and a PC with Windows XP that connect perfectly, but with Windows 7 gives me error when loading of the password.

    I update the firmware to version 1.0.04)is (present the latest version I found on the site of cisco), but still does not work.

    I have try the cat with the help of Cisco and told me that he was no longer under warranty...

    Can you tell me how to solve this problem?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Of course, disable the security on the router completely for now.  Now try to connect without security.  Once completed and verified go back and add the security on of WPA2-AES with a new password and try again.

  • Can't connect to WiFi, do not request password

    Background:

    I have just arrived at my parents for a 2 week stay at the course and I'm trying to access their WiFi. At first, it was fine, that my two computers acceding WiFi (Alienware with Windows 8.1) and Toshiba again with Windows 8.1. Yesterday (after 5 days of no worries of access), the Alienware wouldn't connect and no more than my mom's computer. So I replaced the modem with a newer LinkSys modem and to set up a wired connection. It is all set up. Computer of my mother to return on the internet but the Alienware can access only a wired connection and Toshiba recall has not wired port has no access.

    If I click on the Linksys WiFi network, it tries to connect but do not have the password. If I try to access the neighbor's WiFi it asks password.

    That's what happened on the old modem until I changed it to the wire. The Alienware wouldn't access their modem (named David) and now will not access the Linksys modem (which was a modem I used for about a year). Nothing has changed except passwords.

    I tried to reset and restart the modem.

    I tried to turn on my computer, shut off again.

    How is it that computer Windows 7 of MOM can access the wireless, but none of my computers Windows 8 may?

    I fixed it-I have been made a click right on the settings for modems and clicked on "Forget this network" and then reconnected. Sweet! Fact! Fixed. Solved.

  • Can't connect to WIFI on all locations where the WIFI network is available

    Sometimes my computer will connect and detect the networks without wire, Hotels, airports etc. but do not work in the home and in some offices.

    I run put WXP updated with SP2 have an Artheros5005gs adapter. Any ideas?

    Hello

    It is a matter of compatibility between the WLan router and wireless network card.
    If the wireless network adapter does not support the same Wlan standards then you will not be able to establish the WiFi connection.
    Especially the hotspots (Wlan on airports, city, etc.) are not secure and that is why the laptop automatically connects to these wireless LANs.

    The WiFi network at home or in the office is secure for most and you need a right encryption key to connect to these wireless LANs.

    So I think you should check you settings router WLan configuration and usage of encryption right key, SSID, etc.

  • I can't connect to wifi wireless I want more often recreatives__

    I recently bought a new laptop that has windows 7 on it. I live next to a coffee shop and was able to use their wifi hot spot with my old office. Their website is not secure (doesn't have a password).  I asked the owner of the Café, and she said that no one else is having problems using the network wireless cafes. It is reset (powered by power-off) the router for me. One of my friends came and was able to connect with his computer. I have no other problems with connection problems in other cafes wireless hotspots. When I put them to the top of the login window Wi - Fi it usually shows 4-5 signal strength of bar for coffee, I connect not too.  Once I connect to wireless coffee it shows 'connected' but 'no internet access. It is also sometimes said "restricted access".   I'm looking for a solution to this problem.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the reply Cody.  I decided that there is a problem with the router. I had another person who has windows 7 on his cell phone and she could not get on the internet as well. For my computer wireless card internal both external card I bought do not work in this wifi hotspot.  I'm planning to get my own ip.

    Please do the following and after each test to see if the problem is resolved - if yes, then you can omit the following steps - I tried to list them in ascending order of the effort at least on a Mac and / or an iDevice

    1. Check if the problem is related to a single device and if other devices connect normally-
    2. If the answer 1 is 'yes' - try to connect the device assigned to somewhere else if possible - coffee or the University
    3. Please see recommended settings of WiFi routers and Apple access points
    4. Perform a forced - restart cela do not delete or purge all data and allows to solve many problems - here is how - press and hold the Off / On Home button and at the same time for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Allow normal startup upward.
    5. Settings - WiFi - < network name > - Click on forget network - do a restart forced 4 and then again add the network
    6. If home - reboot the router by unplugging it for 60 seconds (power) and the plug and reconnect - obviously, this step can be done in a public place like a cafe or airport or University. While you're there - make sure your router is working on the latest firmware (check manufacturer's website)
    7. Settings - general - reset - Reset network settings - remember to have very practical WiFi passwords because it erases the WiFi passwords
    8. If it is a new specific net device in your home - make sure that the router gives enough DNS for all numbers which must / wants a connection - stuff like the printer, Chromecast get overlooked - ask for more details on this so not sure option
    9. Backup the device to iTunes - restore as NEW (no backup) using iTunes - see if solves problem - if yes - restore backup
    10. An appointment of 'Genius' to an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider.
