Impossible to establish a free WIFI connection

• WIndows Vista not finding free Wifi connections

  I am running Windows Vista on an Inspiron 1420.  I used to connect to open wifi connections and now windows won't recognize that my connection at home I put in place manually.  I can see the other connections wifi with my computer, but windows will not recognize them.  This function is used to work and now it won't.  Any help would be great?

  KristinTX,

  I've been on the Forum and it seems that there are many people who have problems with the WiFi Catcher on an Inspiron 1420. You can see their support Forum.
  http://en.community.Dell.com/forums/default.aspx?GroupID=9

  However, there are a few things you can check.
  (1) did you use Dell QuickSet to enable and configure the switch to control WiFi network connections?

  This seems to be one of the conditions for their WiFiCatcher to work.
  (2) have you used the BIOS (System Setup program) to control WiFi network connections?
  (3) you have the BIOS update for your Inspiron 1420 system? The latest version is A10 with a date of 01/07/2009.
  (4) I recommend that you check all the driver updates especially for networking to see if this will help your question.

  I do not know if these suggestions will help, but it's something you can try.

• Impossible to establish a two-way connection with mac 10.5.8 and officejet 6500 e709a

  I was able to use my printer before without any problem, but this week he has stopped communicating with my iMac. I am running OS 10.5.8 and my printer is an officejet 6500 e709a. I tried to reset the printing system, uninstall and reinstall the hp software, turning and turn it on again, switching cords and usb ports, and nothing seems to work. I tested the ports on the iMac and they work with other devices, and the printer works fine with my macbook that uses the same operating system. Where should I go from here?

  We will restore the print system:

  -Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax
  -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
  WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
  -Select the sign more to add a printer. Select the default tab on the top of the window. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

• NB305 - impossible to get a WiFi connection

  Bought a new NB305 today. Set up (apparently) OK, but I can't get a WiFi connection. It recognizes my home network but will not connect. Convenience store etc can not solve.
  I can connect using a T-Mobile dongle only.

  The netbook runs Windows 7 Starter and I have a Belkin F5D8632-4 v1 router. Is that what may be a compatibility problem between Windows 7 and router? I checked the drivers wireless on the netbook and the two are the latest versions.

  After having spent the last hour or so looking through this forum and others and tried various things, I am now at a loss.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you very much.

  Hi Nickverwood,

  In my opinion he should t be a compatibility problem between Windows 7 and your router. Normally, you can connect to the router with all operating systems.

  It would be interesting to why you can t connect. Are you prompt for the password for WIFI and you use the right one?
  Maybe you have enabled filtering of MAC addresses on the router to allow the MAC address of the NB305 first before can connect you.

  Have you tried an update firmware for the router?

• Try to set up an iPad Pro with free wifi network which has need of a browser pop up for work.

  The IPad will not be implemented because the free wifi needs a browser pop up for access and the installer will not allow this.  Any idea to do this work?

  Launch Safari and manually type an address, no matter which site will do. Safari should redirect your connection on the free wifi portal.

• WiFi connectivity problems

  I have a 5th generation iPod touch which I use exclusively when I'm working.  I go to the gym has free WiFi and I have no problem connecting to this and using applications. In the last 4-6 weeks, however, I was able to access applications like Pandora or Sirius XM, but I had another email on the mail app.  I am frustrated that I cannot use most of the apps on the iPod touch and do not know what would be the solution.  I did a hard reset and restored the iPod touch on my computer without result.  I am able to access the apps on my WiFi at home.  I'm curious to know if anyone has useful solutions.

  You can use these applications when it is connected to other networks?

• Canvio AeroMobile are not in wifi connections

  I recently purchased a Canvio AeroMobile (128 GB) and followed the instructions to connect wireless to my iphone 5 s. Everything seemed to go well until I was invited to install the latest firmware, I did.

  Since the update, the device is more listed as a Wifi hotspot, so I can't actually connect wirelessly, although it works if I connect through port USB to a PC - but that kind of defeats the purpose of a wireless device.

  I tried to push the button to reset (for at least 5 seconds), turned off power, even reinstalled the app, but still the same.

  What it actually looks like is that the drive is trying to reset itself, but do not complete the process - not connected to the USB and I turn turn it on, the SD card will blink once, then the wifi led lights (and remains) then the battery light comes on for a few seconds, then starts to Flash quickly (more quickly) - and all this the blue wifi stays on and the battery light flashes. I'm writing this, the same lights last for about 3 hours. I don't see what he listed as free wifi on any device (not only my iphone). If I press the reset button, nothing happens.

  Unable to follow the instructions to do a complete factory reset as part of that process is to link to it wireless, which of course, I can't do.

  is this a known issue? I can't find anything on the internet.

  As you already mentioned, reset must be made by pressing on and holding the reset button for at least 5 seconds.

  More about CIHI:

  I would also recommend power OFF, then power on the unit.

• Satellite NB10T - A - Wifi connection limited running Windows 8

  Hello

  So I got a new NB10T-A Satellite with windows 8 and have problems with wifi connectivity.

  It says I'm connected but the connection is limited.
  I know that's not my wifi because all other laptops and computers in the work of the House very well with windows 7 and proffessional ect.

  I tried almost everything, including troubleshooting, who comes up with the message: problem with access point or adapter without wire and/or invalid IP configuration.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  I guess you don t know that win 8 happened and obsolete. The new 8.1 Win was published by Microsoft a few months ago and you could upgrade the Win 8 to 8.1 win free.

  For this I recommend you follow the instructions step by step for Toshiba
  [How update of Windows 8, Windows 8 | http://www.Toshiba.eu/innovation/Generic/windows8_1-Upgrade-stepbystep/]

  With regard to the Wlan.
  I think the Win 8.1 upgrade should solve your problem, but I think you should also remedy in new installation of the Wlan driver

• Satellite C55DT-B5128 guard dropping WiFi connection

  Can someone help me I just bought my laptop and have had problems with my wifi connection. I can, but it retains abandon the connection. Anyway to fix this or am I a flawed system?

  I can't imagine that you have the defective system.
  Have you tried to reboot your router?
  Have you checked all the WLAN settings?
  Have you tried to test it with a few other WLAN (free hotspot, friend)?

• WiFi connection falls back only when the Satellite L650 is sitting on the glass desk

  Since I bought a new Ikea glass desk, free wifi on my laptop Toshiba has been stalling. It took me a while to put the two together.

  Whenever I'm sitting there on the desk, wifi is de-energized, but as soon as I took it off the table, wifi will reconnect immediately and it works normally.

  I used it on a covered with _wooden in the same region and it works completely fine and never gave up.

  I recently bought a Toshiba wireless mouse which said seller works on any surface. Well, it doesn't work on my glass desk and I had to buy a mousepad for that and now it works...

  I'm using Windows 7 Home Edition premium on a Toshiba Satellite L650 laptop computer model No.: PSK1JA - 0K 3017.

  Please help me solve this problem! What can I do to stop falling out wifi while it sits on the glass desk? All responses are much appreciated thanks!

  Hi Chan

  I m very surprised after reading your interesting ad. To be honest, I use Toshiba laptops for a long time now and I ve never used on glass desk so I don't have any experience with this issue and I also think that you are the first person that relates to this topic.

  It's a really new and very interesting information. I m really interested on this thread and I would like to hear more of other people who use the glass desk.
  What to do about it? Simple question, but I fear none of us can give you good advice on this topic m.

  OK it's a nothing with your question, but if you use it on the desktop you can use the connection to the LAN? I mean that if you may have a kind of Home Office you must connect using the connection to the local network. I do though that the WLAN router is active.

• C50D-A-133 satellite detect WIFI connection but cannot connect

  Hello world!

  I have a problem with the internet connection from my laptop.
  Earlier this week, I noticed that my internet is very slow.

  Now a few days later I can not connect with my wireless network more.

  My other laptop can still connect with the network, so I think that there is something wrong with the windows drivers 8.1?

  Because I've read some things other people who have had the same problem but I couldn't solve the problem.

  It's a toshiba Satellite C50D-A-133 with qualcomm atheros ar956x as an internet adapter

  Can someone help me with this problem?

  Kind regards
  Hannes Van den Berghe

  {quote} My other laptop can still connect with the network, so I think that there is something wrong with the windows drivers 8.1? {quote}

  According to your post, you were able to connect the laptop to the router WLan.
  In this case, the WiFi connection has been established correctly.

  I put t think there is a problem with the laptop s Wlan connection. Your WLan router is probably some problems and that is why I recommend to reset the router.

  In addition, you could test the LAN connection.
  In case you have a problem with the connection to the local network, the configuration of the router should be checked.

• Slow wifi connection

  Hello

  I recently bought a PC Hp Envy 17 j106sf and free wifi does not work properly.

  The speed of the wifi used to be more than 20 MB/s on my old computer and is currently the subject of 2 Mb/s. Ethernet works perfectly well. The wifi card is a Ralink RT3290 802. 11bgn Wi - Fi adapter.

  How can I fix my wifi?

  I would apreciate a quick help, solve this problem.

  Hello TristanA,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that the speed of the Internet connection on the computer is not as good as it should be. I will do my best to help! To start, try the procedure described in this document from HP: troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access (Windows 8)

  These measures should be sufficient to solve the problem. If this isn't the case, you can try a manual reinstallation of the driver:

  1. go in Device Manager, then the network cards.

  2. right click on the wireless driver and select "Uninstall".

  3. restart the computer. This will force the driver to resettle.

  Please let me know the results of your troubleshooting. Thank you!
