Laptop will not connect to the wireless network

I have a Toshiba laptop with windows Vista, and it does not connect to wireless internet at my father's House. My father and my sister have the same exact computer, and both of their computers work perfectly well. Mine will work with an ethernet cable plugged in, but when I try to connect wirelessly, it does not work. I've never had this problem in my mom's house or anywhere else. Can someone help me please?

Hello

This is a security feature of each wireless router I've ever seen, although I wouldn't be surprised to discover that some router didn't do it. You need to check your router admin pages to see if mac address filtering is in effect. Address filtering Mac prohibits access to the router by any unauthorized network device. All network devices have a unique mac address which you can find through opening a command prompt (click Start, then type cmd and press enter) and then typing ipconfig/all. The output refers to your device Wireless 'physical address' (mac address) and will be in the format hh-hh-hh-hh-hh-hh, where hh is a hexadecimal number (A - F and numbers 0-9), dashes are not important and may not be required when you enter your mac address in the router configuration.

  • HP 7520: HP 7520 will not connect to the wireless network

    There is some additional information to

    http://forums.Xfinity.com/T5/home-networking-router-WiFi/HP-7520-will-not-connect-to-wireless-networ...

    on this issue.

    Have several APs for a single wireless network allows the printer foolish law.  (Not a Repeater, a second AP connected to the local network with the same configuration of network for security, etc.).

    I solved this problem.  In accordance with the discussion on the link, the problem is that the printer cannot connect to a wireless network if there is greater than 1 for a wireless network (SSID) name wireless access point.

    This thread has had several useful suggestions, but what finally solved the problem, it's the second point has access to a mode where I can create a 'virtual' access point and, above all, a SSID associated.

    Note that not all access points or routers support virtual APs, but this function seems to be more common over time.  Older models is not able to do that.  However, a new access point is sometimes cheaper than a new printer.

    If you do not understand the jargon in the procedure below, I recommend that you find someone who does, then they can do it for you.

    Solution:

    1. On one of the wireless access on the network, create an a new virtual AP with a slightly different name SSID (for example < name of the network - > _1), on the same VLAN (usually VLAN 1).  You may need to put the AP in "multiple AP mode" or something similar, and then restart the AP.  All other settings (DHCP, security, mixed mode b/g/n, etc.) must be the same for the new SSID.
    2. Run the printer Wireless Setup and connect it to this new SSID
    3. Confirm that the printer can be seen by other devices on the network

    Tips:

    • Check the security is the same as the original SSID, Alternatively you can create a vector of insecurity in your network.  Do not WEP-128 when the other SSID uses WPA2 AES, for example.
    • The AP I had had several resets to make it work because of the mode and parameter changes.
    • If you connect the SSID but cannot connect to or be seen by anything on your network, check the new SSID/AP is in the same VLAN as the original.
    • Because the printer is not roaming, and the speed is not a problem for me, I used the access point that could support this solution, which is deeper and slower than my primary AP.  I have not noticed any problems.

    The printer has been reliable on the wireless now on the new SSID, 48 hours.

    I have not upgraded any software on a client of the printer (PC, Mac, phones).

    I think that it is a positive confirmation that the problem is with the implementation of the printer of the stack of network and not with the driver or client software on remote devices.  The 802.11 protocols provide for a network name (SSID) wireless with several access points using different MAC addresses.  I suggest this HP look into this as a potential bug with their network printer for the 7520 protocols stack.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a: printer will not connect to the wireless network.

    I got this HP printer for a while and it worked fine.  Our old router is out and we had to get a new one.  Installed perfectly and printer continued to work properly.  The password for the router was ridiculous, that's why I changed it to something much more simple to remember.  Since then, my printer will not connect to wireless internet.  I have a ~ and reinstalled the printer but still have the same problem.  I thought maybe to try the former password would, but who does not work either.

    Anyone has any ideas that might help before chuck it and go and get a new one altogether?

    Thank you.

    Easy things first.  Turn off the router and the printer.  Turn on the router and wait 3 minutes.  Turn on the printer and see if it connects to your router.  Status?

    If no joy, temporarily disable all security in the router.  Now try to connect the printer to your SSID not guaranteed without password.  Status now?

    If OK, go back and add WPA2-AES with your simple password.  Status now?

  • ENVY 4520: printer will not connect to the wireless network

    with wireless on Printer Setup Wizard, printer detects the network but when I enter the key to encryption (correctly), he comes back with a message "Unable to connect to the network".  The printed report suggests the address filtering MAC can be activated.  But I checked and it is specifically DISABLED.    The printed report indicates a FAILURE on "no filtering."

    Please notify.

    After struggling with this for two days and after the announcement of this question and all by downloading the HP doctor, I noticed that the printer had suddenly cured himself. I'm not sure what I should credit this miraculous healing. Thank you I guess?

  • Photosmart 5524: Photosmart 5524 will not connect to the wireless network

    I recently moved house, and since the move does not connect the printer to the network.

    The router and the parameters are the same as before the move, and appliances are on opposite sides of the same coin.

    Initially, he sees the network, but does not connect when you press the WPS button or the password.

    After the first attempt he cannot see all networks at all until the settings are reset, even if the network name is entered manually.

    Printed on the test result to get a 'Pass' for YOU wireless and WIRE WORKS, a "failed" to FIND NAME of NETWORK and "Not run" on all other tests. The proposed solution is not useful, as it suggests using the Wireless Setup Wizard to set up the printer, which I already do.

    No other device has problems see the network or connection to it. MAC filtering is not lit. Some devices have a static IP (required to stop Ipad wife being a tyrant of intellectual property), but the router DHCP is still active for most devices.

    Temporarily remove your SSID of your router password. Now try to connect to your SSID unsecured. Are you successful? If so, go back and add WA2 - AES with a password and try again.

  • CQ60-210US reformatted for Windows XP Prof, but it does not connect to the wireless network...

    Long story short, I tried recently to "downgrade" my husband computer CQ60-210US laptop from Vista to XP.  I followed the very detailed guide posted here and everything seems to work great but my computer does NOT connect to my home network.  It comes as an available network, but when I try to connect it goes on to say that the network is no longer available - is yet to ask security key.  I tried to click on the connection to a neighbor to see what would happen and it seems to go further (it asks me the security key).  I can connect directly using the ethernet to the modem cable.

    This laptop was initially working on my network wirelessly with Vista.  I use a CLEAR 4 G wireless modem.  The signal from the modem is good.

    Can anyone help me identify the problem and propose a solution?  Everything else seems to work well.

    Thank you very much!

    Reema,

    There are several solutions here and you have not specified what solution you have already tried and did not work. Check the posts here and specify what solutions did not work for your question.

    Additionally, you mention that you tried "installation of the wireless network" in Safe Mode. This means it that you were able to connect mode without failure, but not in the Windows? If so, you should try a clean boot to identify the item or service responsible for the error:

    Hello

    Run the software of HP on the printer to the computer and use the configuration utility to set the printer to a static IP address that is out of range of the router DHCP.

    Then again that installing drivers on another networked computer that requires the use of the printer.

    If the utility cannot connect to the printer you o read the manual and set the printer manually (the printer) to connect to the wireless router).
