• Latitude C640 with 1470 mini pci wifi has very low signal strength

  I just installed 1470 broadcom mini pci card with the 4.10.40.0 (from decompression R115321.exe) on a Dell Latitude C640 driver version.

  The card sees the network and connects, but I must be withinn 5 feet from the router, and even in this case the signal is 'Very low' (an or maybe 2 bars). I can communicate with various other wireless cards on other laptops with the full signal strength during the major part of the House.

  Why the intensity of the signal would be so bad?

  Is the 1470 is not very sensitive? the driver is bad for my setup? is there an INCOMPATIBILITY between the 1470 and the DLink DI-524 router? Is this an indication that the antenna on my wifi card is damaged? (I got it on ebay)

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

• Startup gets "Network cable unplugged" on (new) wireless mini-PCI card

  Repost in the previous topic was locked, but has not been resolved. Original post below, please see previous post for more details

  I recently installed a Netgear DG834GT wireless router and now have intermittent problems connecting my Tecra 9100. If the 9100 has been off for awhile (like overnight), when I restart I get always "Network cable unplugged" for the wireless connection. Reboot several times (anything from 3 upwards) I finally get connected to the router and everything then works fine for hours. Even a quick restart at this point (that is, once that the wireless adapter is connected) does not cause a problem, but as soon as I leave the stop of the machine during a time he fails again on restart.

  There are no errors in the event log.

  I am using wireless mini-PCI cards and have already updated to the latest version of the driver.

  Any ideas gratefully received, for now every morning is a 20 to 30 minutes of rebooting frustration trying to get my connection work.

  Hello

  I have the same problem if I stand for laptop and access point at the same time. If the access point is already in use, the connection is established shortly after. First the access point must establish a connection to the modem. Now the wireless connection is not available.

  I guess after the second reboot, the connection between the AP and the modem is already finished and you can use the network wireless successfully.

  Good bye

  Hello

  As far as I know, the unplugged network cable message just for LAN (Local Area connection-LAN) and not wireless.

  If you want to check this map to disable LAN in Device Manager. After starting the laptop turn on the wireless card, check the status using the FN + F8 key combination. Wi - Fi is activated after a short time, you should be able to use your wireless network.

  You can enable the option Show icon in notification area when connected. You can find it in the properties of wireless under the general tab.

• Advice of A20 103D Mini PCI Wireless Installation of satellite map

  Some basic tips on installing a Toshiba PA3300U-1MPC card can be appreciated. The manual States that the card must be installed by a qualified engineer. The main request is where can I connect the wires black and white to. will I need to download a driver or will the device automatically recognized? Are there other issues to be aware of?

  Thank you

  Hello Wally

  As far as I know there are two connectors that are marked with the HAND and to THE.
  In this case, please connect the white cable to the HAND and the black cable to the auxiliary voltage
  Additionally, you have the drivers and Utilities CD Utility & Tools, or you can download it on the Toshiba site. To my knowledge, the PA3300U-1MPC is an Atheros WiFi card.
  Therefore, you need Atheros AR5001X Mini PCI Wireless Network Adapter V2.1.2.16 and Atheros Client Utility V2.1.2.16

• ? PRO/Wireless mini PCI card will switch

  This question has been posted before, but I have not found a solution

  I have installed a PRO mini-PCI card / Wireless 2915ABG in my A30. It is recognized as a card very well, but I can't turn it on. Not with the switch and or the software.

  Any tips?

  Hi rothirgo,

  As far as I know Satellite A30 series is built with Atheros and Agere wireless card. This means that Toshiba has been test machines with just these two cards and do not support another manufacturer of the WL card for this machine. If you have the Intel card and good driver, it should work too.

  Is in the device, a problem Manager? When your card has been properly installed, go to control panel > network connections. If there is Wireless Network Connection showed that it should be enabled.

  If you do this, you can now search for available networks in the wireless network connection properties.

  Just one last question. You have wireless on / off switch on the left side of your laptop? What Wireless Card on FN + F8 check if there is an answer.

  Please let me know what you have done and are there any error messages.

• Satellite A20-S103 WiFi mini PCI card need help

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba A20-S103. When I bought the camera there not of wireless. I have the switch but wireless. I would like to install it but I don't like solutions card mainly because of the portruding antennas and special care, I imagine that you must have for such a solution (do not break the card because of the carelesness). Now, I opened my laptop and I have the empty mini PCI slot and the antenna cables. I found several mini PCI card on the Toshiba site in the communication options and accessories section. The problem I have now is that although I found two mini PCI card 802.11a/b/g, which seems to be compatible with my model, I can't decide which is the best because the information provided for each of them are the same. The only thing that seems to be different is the reference number (PA3318U-2MPC and PA3298U-1MPC). Also, there is a two 802. 11 b / g cards compatible with my model but even once, I can't make my decision due to the fact that the information provided for these cards is not helping to distinguish between them. Looking in the manual, I found that my model suports only 802. 11a / b (or at least what they say). And there's a mini PCI 802.11 g on the Toshiba site which is not compatible with my model. If it makes me wonder if I can get a card 802.11 g. I would really like it for the higher speeds that it will support. I don't want to pay more money to use a PCI 802.11a/b/g only to discover that I can just conect to 11 Mbps and not 54 or so... Also, I found on the internet of the 802.11 cards g that promise speeds greater than 54 Mbps. Toshiba provides such a solution? If not, are there maps 802.11 g third-party compatible with my model? I hope that there is someone out there who can help me sort this mess.

  Hi Stefan

  It is not easy to give you a proper answer. In my opinion, it should work, but it is also important to install a suitable driver for the wireless card. I'm sure that it is possible to install the driver for another model mobile using the same wireless card. It will be perhaps better to contact the Service partner and ask them because they have such information and more experience with this sort of thing.

• Satellite 5200 903: Mini PCI card does not work

  Hello

  I am a user of one:
  Satellite 5200 903: P4 - M 2.2 / 256 + 256 DDR/60 GB/15 t SXGA + / DVD - R - RW / nV FX 5600/SFP/WIFI ready/XP

  My computer is a Toshiba Wirless lan Mini PCI Card.
  I installed the card a few years ago - everything worked great.
  In early 2006, I installed a new operating system (XP Pro + SP1, same system as before) because it was necessary.
  I installed all the drivers for the card of W - Lan, of course, the map worked in a good way (no driver incompatibility or other problems).
  But, and this is the reason of this topic here. It is not possible to connect my card to any hot spot. I tried with 2 different access points, but the result is the same. 'No connection Point found '.

  Does anyone have an idea of what to do or where I could look for failure? Is there maybe no special software required (I couldn't remember that I needed in my last installation special driver or software)

  If more information is needed, please let know me.

  (Sorry for the bad English, but it is not my first language.)

  THX for your help

  Hello Christian

  First your English is fine, and I'm sure that every user will understand what you want to describe.
  Back to your problem: the wireless card properly recognized and listed in the Device Manager?
  If so, please be sure that this card is enabled. Just that you should be able to see any wireless network.

  You n t need any special software. WIFI connection can be configured using settings in windows.

• Wireless Mini-PCI card does not work after installing it in socket

  I have laptop satellite A30, it has a plug for a mini PCI card.

  The problem that I can not power on the wireless?
  There is a switch for this perpose on the side of the laptop, but when I change nothing happen!
  Also press the Fn with F8 button but nothing is also happening.
  I discuss this issue with other friends, they told me that there must be something in the BIOS and activiate/deactiviate the wireless, but I can't find anything related to map wireless in BIOS?
  For this I need your help
  Concerning

  Hi guys,.

  THX starbucks for the post, but I must correct you:

  As the wireless card in the mini-pci card slot is the only one, there is NO onboard wireless card. So it can't be anything to be disabled except the pci socket.
  And regarding the problem: perhaps the card is not compatible with this machine. I suggest to buy a card based on the atheros chipset because they are known to work VERY well (in fact they work) in almost all brands without bigger problems and they do in computers laptop toshiba.

  If the card was not recognized then another card must be installed-> atheros and not INTEL chipset

• Need advice for the purchase of a mini PCI Wireless

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba I bought nearly two years ago. This laptop has an Intel 2200BG wireless chipset, which works, but the quality of connection is quite low. Sometimes, the connection speed climbs, sometimes it falls in total. I tried all the updates driver, power management tips and everything that could be found on the net. Some of these help, but there is always something that doesn't work as it should.

  Long story short, I decided to buy a mini pci wireless card. The problem is that these cards are nowhere to find. There is nothing on the Toshiba site, and apart from a few offers on eBay, there is almost nothing to choose. I know there are other options, but I prefer a mini pci card.

  Can someone help me on this issue?

  Thank you

  Peter.

  Hi Peter

  Can you please tell us which laptop model you have?

  In any case, the network without WIRE Intel 2200BG card is good enough and works very well on my Satellite M70 (with the latest driver). Download speed is very good and I do not need a wireless network card. I don't know what is the problem with WLAN connection in your case, but please try to test with another router WLAN (maybe your friends have all other routers). Also, install the latest WLAN driver for this card.

• S206: Is the slot mini-PCIe for Wi - Fi adapters landlocked in the BIOS?

  Hello

  My good old Ideapad S206 had good enough Wi - Fi problems since I bought it. Basically, the reception is extremely unstable, and it is a problem when the "net" part in "netbook" does not work properly, is it not?

  I tried to date/replace the driver for the card, but I am led to the conclusion that I should try to replace my network card.

  The steps to remove the mini-PCIe card is well documented in the hardware Maintenance Manual, which is really awesome. The map is easy to access, remove and change.

  However, I have a question: is there a form any 'BIOS-lock' on the network cards on this line of netbooks? In other words, I can use any network adapter from mini-PCIe instead of the original one, or is there some kind of white list in the BIOS that prevents the user to install one Wi - Fi card other than the original one? (because if there is a BIOS-lock, there is no point to spend money on another adapter that would still work)

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Hello!

  Here's a quick Heads up on this subject: I finally decided to take a chance and changed the original network card with an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Plus. I'm happy to say it works like a charm! The reception of the network is much better, and I can get a stable WiFi signal at home, that was impossible before.

  I still don't know if there is a whitelist located anywhere in the BIOS, but what I do know, is that you can replace the factory network card with an Intel mini-PCIe trouble-free model. Useful information for users of Ideapad S206 someday perhaps...

  So, problem solved!

• port mini-PCIe for WAN on other X120e uses

  Hi, I ordered as a X120e without the conectivity WAN option so he came without the card, but I have this mini-PCIe available, is it possible to use this port for something else? I wanted to put a second wifi card for the tests of penetration and research... or even a solid storage card in there.

  Well, unless hack you the BIOS to the white list what wireless card you install, it will be a moot point. In addition, you must find an ssd pcie with an integrated controller which presents itself as a drive controller, of which none of those available, I know of no. So, in conclusion, unless an engineer comes out and says he can endure more, chances are that we cannot use it for anything apart from Lenovo wireless cards.

• The BIOS of my dv2610us stop me from changing my mini-pci card?

  is there a white list in my bios that would prevent me from changing the Broadcom BCM4311 for a mini-PCI with my choice?

  I have read several posts on the forum who said their model of HP had limitations in the BIOS but they were all pretty old, and I hope that HP has changed their policy on this.  I can understand the blocking for overclocking settings, but this seems a little extreme.

  I contacted the support of discussion about this today, but I had the strong feeling that he did not know what in the world I was talking (but he offered to sell me the same wireless card that I told him that I wanted to replace...)

  I edited my name on...

  dirtsandwich: The dv2610us has a 'white list' on the bios that blocks some install mini-pci cards?

  Shane: dirtsandwich, could elaborate you on this issue, so that I can help you better?
  dirtsandwich: sure no problem.
  Shane: Thank you.
  dirtsandwich: I tried to buy a new mini-pci card to replace the broadcom wireless card that came with my dv2610us. I read on some sites that have a white list on the BIOS that allows specific models of wireless cards to be installed in some models. If the model is not on the white list, then you can not install it.
  Shane: Of course, I understand and regret the inconvenience. And I got my best efforts to solve the problem in a timely.
  Shane: To help you in a better way, may I know the product and serial number of the laptop that is facing this problem?
  dirtsandwich: I have the dv2610us. SN is XXXXX

  Shane: Thank you for providing us the information.
  Shane: dirtsandwich, may I know you bought the new wirless card from outside the HP device?
  dirtsandwich: not yet
  Shane: Well, you want to buy. Fix?
  dirtsandwich: no, I want to know if the BIOS has a whitelist which will prohibit some installed wireless cards.
  Shane: Alright.
  Shane: dirtsandwich, I understand your request.
  Shane: If I understand the question, yopu desire to know who's here, any white list is available in the BIOS on this laptop, I'm wrong?

  Shane: * you
  dirtsandwich: Well... is not available. I just want to know if HP has put one in the BIOS
  Shane: Well, there's no white list will be available in the BIOs.
  dirtsandwich: so if I buy a third mini-pci card it should install without problem?
  Shane: Only we have some parameters like sound, VGA etc, you can disable or enable.
  Shane: Is it an external wireless card, you can insert it via USB?
  dirtsandwich: no, it's a mini-pci pci-e card.
