I can't turn my computer desk in a "WiFi Hotspot"

My computer, a desktop HP Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium computer, doesn't have the option "Set up a Wi - Fi connection" in the "network and sharing Center."

Various videos that I looked and the articles I've read all have this classified as option 5 on the network page. Is it possible to include this option on my installation?

    Disconnect all cables. Open the right side of the case, see Pg6 of repair: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00065391.pdf

  • XP SP3 laptop computer connects to various WiFi hotspots but not to an individual.

    Just upgraded to Verizon MiFi 2200 MiFi 4620 the personal hotspot.  Our other Office XP SP3 computer, a Windows 7 laptop and Tablet Android ASUS everything automatically detected and entering the network key/password, all connected to the hotspot and the WWW.

    Fortunately, the XP SP3 laptop connects to other WiFi hotspots and will always connect to the MiFi 2200 old if it is powered even if, of course, he cannot access the WWW, because Verizon's network no longer recognizes the 2200 due service is transferred to the new 4620 MiFi.

    The XP SP3 laptop detects the new hotspot very well.  The command 'View available wireless networks' shows the new hotspot, but when 'Connect' is attempted he goes just in the cycle to appear in the connection, but returned eventually to view available wireless networks.  The 'Connect' button is available, implying that it would connect so click on new.

    Use the same settings (SSID, password, encryption, etc) for the device problem than others who work as they should.  It seems to be an incorrect setting or adjustment in the laptop but I can not understand that one.  I compared the services running on two XP machines and have found no obvious inadequacy.

    Advice?

    Thank you!

    When you say that the new device has the same encryption, do you mean that you know that both old and new devices use the same type of encryption (for example, WPA2, WPA, WPA-TKIP, etc.)?

    I noticed the following two statements in the Guide of the user for the MiFi 4620 L (page 30)

    • WPA/WPA2 Personal joint (safer, less compatible with older devices)
    • IMPORTANT you must use the profile secured with WPA/WPA2 Personal Mode security settings mixed when possible.

    Suggesting that the MiFi 4620 can by default that set... and that the hardware in your computer laptop problem is one of the 'old' devices that is not compatible with this setting.

    Just as an experiment, temporarily configure the MiFi to 'Open' (see pages 30 et seq.) and see if your laptop can connect.

    You get the manufacturer of the computer or card mother Logo arrive on the splash screen at startup?

    If no logo or options to come, by the sound of it, you have a hardware problem.

    Contact the manufacturer of the computer, if under warranty.

    If it is not under warranty, contact a good computer repair workshop, local.

    How can I get my computer to automatically connect to the internet? Currently, I have to press Fn F1 to activate the WLAN - not something huge, but a tad boring. Another computer on the same network will connect automatically in setting in motion.

    It is a 'feature' of the particular computer you are using. Take a look at the manual; It may be a setting in the BIOS to turn on the wireless on startup.

  • When start the computer can be turned on but nothing happens

    Original title: computer does not start

    Hi all

    Have a dual processor Intel running Vista with 2 GB of memory.

    When start the computer can be turned on but nothing happens. That is the screen is not lighting, brief flashes KB on and nothing. I hae take the drive HARD case and implemented it is powered, but there is no sign that it is accessed at all when the machine is running. It seems that ot could be the HARD drive, but I think that there is a rom on the motherboard, which is accessible in the boot process and I wonder if this could fail. I don't have a spare drive to test what happens then is anyway I can be sure if I need new hard drive or m/Board?

    While on the question - if I need a HARD drive, Vista is the one that crashed and I do not have a Cd with the machine when I bought it. Nor has created a cover of one! I have an old XP Pro upgrade disc and an original copy of Windows 2000 (so I can switch to XP). This is my best option? I can't afford £ 140 for Windows 7.

    Hi Eddie,.

    Since this is a hardware problem, you should contact your computer manufacturer or a hardware technician to understand the defective material.

    And also, since Windows Vista was preinstalled on the computer you must consult the manufacturer of the computer for resettlement or a recovery DVD.  Also survey about data recovery on hard drive crashed.
