• Satellite L300 - after installing XP it does not find the WiFi router

  After insatlling XP SP1 and insatlling a lot of everything except drivers WLAN works. I installed the drivers and I install Atheros to manage my connections, but it seems not yet to find the wifi router.

  I use toshiba satellite l300 pslbce.
  PS! I had the laptop that works on Ubuntu berfore, worked well.

  Hello

  Have you updated XP SP2 or SP3? I m wondering that you only use the SP1 and you need to update. SP2 or later is required for some pilot applications and software.

  And where did you downloaded the Atheros driver? You must use the driver from the Web from Toshiba site. The portal of WLAN, you can find the latest drivers:

• C4780 cannot find the wireless router

  I have a new iMac and old Toshiba that is running Windows XP and you use a Netgear wireless router.  When I got to the printer, it worked fine on the wireless network.  Bought a new router that I couldn't work with the Mac and the PC so I returned to my original router.  Now, the printer does not work as a wireless printer.  Summaries of diagnosis indicates that the printer cannot find the wireless router and fails under "Network Name (SSID) Found."  On the Network Setup page, my network is listed as a network discovered by the printer.  I guess there is a simple solution and hope to find the answers here.

  Thank you very much!

  Some printers C4780 left the factory with a default misconfiguration.  This could be the reason why you can not see the hpsetup network.  Here is an updated set of instructions for manually adding the C4780 to a Mac:

  Part 1 - Get the printer in Ad-Hoc Mode Wireless

  (1) turn on the printer.

  (2) display the printer has six keys; three on the left (top-left, middle left, below on the left) and three on the right (top-right, centre-right, bottom-right).  Press and release the following touch buttons in order:

  top left,

  bottom-left,

  top left,

  top left.

  (3) you should see the internal menu of printers.  Press the right button down to select 'Service Menu'.  Press OK (lower-left).

  4) press the lower button right until you see "Reset Menu".  Press OK (lower-left).

  5) press the lower button right until you see "half full".  Press OK (lower-left).

  (6) after a few seconds, the printer turns off.  Press the power button to turn on the printer.  It is now reset with the correct default network settings.

  (7) turn on the radio:

  Press the Scan button to get the wireless settings

  Select wireless Menu

  Select wireless settings

  Select Enable Wireless to turn on the radio.

  Part 2 - run the Wireless Setup Wizard

  The printer has now created an ad - hoc network called hpsetup.  To connect to this network on your Mac.

  Check the connection to the printer by opening the printer's internal web page.  You can do this by opening Safari, select bookmarks then ShowAll bookmarks.  On the left pane of Safari, select Hello and on the right, you should see your printer listed.  Double-click your printer and Safari should display the printer's internal web page.

  The printer Web page, select the network tab, and then select Wireless (802.11).  Now press Start the wizard to launch the wireless configuration wizard.

  When the wizard is finished, your computer unplug the printer's ad - hoc network as the printer reconfigures itself to connect to your network home.

  Reconnect your computer to your home network.  Verify that you can connect to the printer at the opening of its internal web page again once we were doing before.

  Finally, install the printer SW.  Since you have Snow Leopard, you don't need the CD that came with the printer.  Instead, open the Print & Fax under System Preferences applet and press the [+] button.  Highlight your printer and click Add.

• Satellite Pro L100: Wireless network card cannot find the Wlan router

  Hello

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite pro L100, which has a built in wireless card, an Atheros AR5005g. I activated the card wireless via the switch on the laptop, and then I let the search for available networks. She is 4-5 or secured creditor and unsecured networks in my area, but it does not find my router which is about 3 meters from the hotel!

  I tried to manually configure my network to see if the laptop can locate it, but without success. I've used a network card in my last laptop, a Belkin 802.11 g that I then inserted in the excellent connection laptop and bingo to 54mps. But I want to use the integrated wireless card that captures an unsecured somewhere network in my area but the signal is weak and is very slow.

  Can someone help me please? The router that I'm trying to access is a Netger WGR 614. NETGEAR were not useful.
  Rgds,

  Richard.

  Hello

  First of all I want to say that for these questions there is not a magic solution.
  I think that you need to check many options that could have a negative influence on the WLan connectivity.
  First of all, you should check if the Wlan router supports WLan standard even as the Wlan card. For example 802.11 B or G or both

  Disable all ciphers on the router as well as the MAC address filtering.
  Then check the WiFi channels! Try to use the same channel on the map of local area network on the router.

  Which driver do you use? Try to download the latest WLan driver Atheros site.
  I think the Atheros provides the own local network configuration utility. Try to use it.

  As you can see, there are many options that must be verified

  Additional information:
  Also, one of my notebooks is not able to connect to the router because I use a WLan router that supports a 802.11 BG WLan standard and in my book the AB 802.11 card has been installed.
  So I can't connect to the router ;(

• Cannot find my wireless router

  IM so confused, im of the problems with my wireless router, when I connected my nintendo wii, that it worked fine, so I decided to make a secure connection by giving a password and other then on the pc finds the router, I made a password for wireless connection and then my wii wouldn't connect , and when I returned to the pc change back I couldn't find the router anywhere all that I can see is my ethernet, theres nothing no wireless adapter. but on my laptop, I can see my wireless connection, but I can't connect to the internet on this subject. IM desperate I don't much about computers know pls if use small words haha, btw, after what happened, I installed windows 7 on the pc to see if it would fix itself, but no luck.

  Hello

  The type of encryption and password must be exactly the same and fully compatible with all wireless devices that use the wireless router.

  So first connect to the router using lead wire and disable security.

  Then read this and restore security.

  Of the weaker for wireless security, more strong capacity is.
  No security
  Switch Off SSID (even has No Security. SSID can be sniffed easily even if it is turned off)
  MAC Filtering___ (Band Aid if nothing else is available, MAC number can be easily Spoofed).
  WEP64___ (Easy, "Break" by knowledgeable people).
  WEP128___ (a little more difficult to activate, but "Piraté" too).
  -------------------
  The solutions above are not considered safe.
  Safe starts here at WPA.
  -------------------
  WPA-PSK__(Very Hard to Break).
  WPA-AES__(Not functionally Breakable)
  WPA2___ (not functionally breakable).

  Note 1: WPA - AES the current interpretation level entry of WPA2.

  Note 2: If you use WinXP SP3 bellows and not updated, you need to download the fix from Microsoft WPA2. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/893357

  Documentation of your devices (router wireless and computer wireless card) must indicate the type of security that is available with your wireless hardware.

  All devices MUST be set to the same level of security using the same password.

  Therefore, security must be set according to what is the best possible one of the wireless devices.

  I.e. even if most of your system may be able to be configured to the maximum with WPA2, but a device is able to be configured for maximum of the WEP Protocol, to the whole system must be configured to WEP.

  If you need more security and a device (such as a wireless card that can only do WEP) is now better security for the entire network, replace with a better device.

• Photosmart C4780 "cannot find the wireless router.

  OK so apparently I'm not as tech savvy as I like to think of myself. I just got a used C4780 and spent 12 hours trying to figure how to set up so that I can print wireless. I had zero luck with that.

  I read that the WPS connection method is more easy then I tried that first. After a few failed attempts, I tried to download the software for Windows 8 (as the disc that comes with it only goes to to Windows 7). I got the same error message 4 times (something Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error), so I then tried the method of the PIN code. After several settings (with the help of my brother on the phone, so I don't really remember what I did unfortunately) just as many failures to connect and I gave up this process.  I printed the 'Network Configuration' Page and the 'wireless network Test report", but I don't have much of a clue as to what it now means. I don't understand what I am doing wrong or what I could do different. The thing that really stumps me, is that the test report said that the printer can't find my router, but at the bottom of the Configuration Page, it lists my wireless network...

  USEFUL/IMPORTANT INFO:

  -HP Photosmart C4780

  -Lenovo all-in-One 8.1 Windows 64 bit

  -router made by ARRIS and provided by my ISP (CableONE)

  -J' installed all the updates that are available for Windows

  -J' restarted the printer, computer, router AND several times

  -my wireless router is in another room, but not more than perhaps 20 feet away

  Side note: I have also a mini iPad... just throw it out there in case it might be a better tool to put up with... If you need to know something more to help me let me know! Thank you for cause in advance that I'm going stir crazy trying to figure this!

  I went on the website of my ISP and discovered that I can't get a new router because of this little note...

  "Cable telephone Service is supported only on Arris modems rented your office of a cable or bought by http://yourbroadbandstore.com/solutions/cableone/."

  Copy + paste directly from their Web site.

  It's OK... you're using their product.  they can always put the Bridge mode.  Call them and tell them that you want to use your OWN router and they put it in Bridge mode.

  EDIT - Bridge mode just turns off the router part and use it as a modem only.

• OfficeJet 6500 e710n: my can´t officejet 6500 detect the wifi router, expire after 20 minutes of searching. The network works

  Hello

  I connected to a router Thomson lapttop two stand-alone and two desktop PC wifi printers. As I can connect to the web

  and surf without problem that the router seems to work at least partially.

  The problem is that printers will not find the router, when I try to configure the printers in the control panel printers, they are looking for the router, but they do not find the wifi (router) connection. After 20 minutes, they then expire without something else facilities worked very well before.

  I called the support to my ADSL provider and they remotely reset the router to factory settings initial but it helps. didn t have tried to turn off the router, printer and laptop computers and then started the router, printers and portable - the same problem. I think that the problem is not in the printers that I have the same problems on both printers.

  Can it be a partial problem with the router, I find that it is unlikely that the problem lies in the printers, because they took place att simultaneously.

  It is a mystery to me and any suggestions are appreciated.

  Bo

  Hello

  It seems more likely that the question is based in your router as the problem affects two different printers.

  For troubleshooting end please move the printer near the router, but not too close... 2-3 meters would be at an ideal distance for testing.

  If you don't see the router yet, may is a Dual Band router?

  It broadcasts at 2.4 GHz?

  Pleae also run a Test report wireless one of the printer, it may help to get a better understanding.

  In the Configuration Menu, select network, go search for Wireless Test report.

  If you can join an analysis of the results of the tests, it would be great.

  Kind regards

• Satellite T110-11U - cannot find the router WLAN

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite T110-11U. Have had since February and loved it-fortunately it wireless used throughout the House. Then one day on a month, unless I was in the same room that the wireless router, Wireless does not work. I have 2 other laptops (and iPhone) which still connect wirelessly throughout the House and the garden without problem.
  As you can imagine, it was very strange. When I take in the garden, my other laptops are all networks wireless in the region, but my Toshiba can't find any.

  Suspecting it was a driver problem, I made sure that the wireless drivers are up-to-date. With no joy, I got the system as it was at the time of purchase (do a complete restoration by interupting, starting and leaving the hard drive to be deleted and reinstalled etc.). Still the same problem. I even changed the rooms in which the router is, and the same problem - the Toshiba cannot find the router unless the router is located a few meters from the laptop.

  Until I lose the will to live, can anyone suggest the cause of my problems, or is it time I admitted defeat and brought back to the Comet under warranty (where likely test next to a wireless router and tell me everything is fine!).

  Thank you very much

  Steve.

  Hey Buddy,

  Did you check if the wireless network card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager? There may be a yellow exclamation or unknown device. Try also updating the driver WLAN from Toshiba Web site:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  See all other WLAN routers?
  The wireless network card can be activated using a combination of keys FN + F8 and in the BIOS. In the BIOS, you should also load default settings and test again.

• Cannot access the internet through a wifi router

  Hi, I recently bought a method 3 G USB wifi router. I connected physically on my desktop and internet wifi works very well. However I have problems to get access to the internet using my laptop Vista. The laptop is a connection for the wireless network connection, but that's what I get. Any ideas what is the problem?

  On my system, I connect them BOTH to the wireless network connection AND Internet (there are separate connections for each installation) on my laptop wireless.  If I don't connect to the Internet, I'm just locally connected to the wireless network.  If I am not connect to the wireless connection, I can't connect to the Internet.  I know not how your needs to be installed, but that is probably the problem.  You may add an internet connection for your laptop, and then connect both to achieve a good connection.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• W7 PC on the router LAN port cannot find connected wireless OJ Pro 8500 has more router suite upgrade

  My broadband provider has replaced my internet router with a new one with dual N band Wireless LAN GigE ports and. The 8500 a printer has been successfully connected WPA Wireless and works very well with a laptop Windows 7 Sony connected wireless and Apple devices.  However neither the desktop PC connected windows 7 Dell LAN or even Sony laptop when it is connected to a router LAN port can find the printer.  I tried to reinstall the printer software with the latest version on the site of HP OJ8500_A910_1315 and the installation fails as auditor of network environment cannot find the printer. I ran the diagnostics of HP network with two firewalls in the PC and router disabled without success. The LAN itself seems to work OK as the PC can meet, Exchange files and and can access the internet.  The router has been checked by the technical uupport of the broadband service provider.  The printer is visible as a network connected device in Windows Explorer so you expect the HP software to see. The only option to set the printers IP address and use it in the installion process or is there other settings that I can change to get the HP network environment checker works correctly?  Thoughts would be appreciated.

  Thank you very much.  Unfortunately the router (a BT HomeHub4) does not have such a context, in the hub Manager, which is accessible by the user but I have now found it has the ability to set the IP address of a wireless device if I did. I reinstalled successfully on the printer to all computers.

Never. The PC has good wireless connection to the router; and surprisingly, the PC works media out of this drive very well using widows media player... but this same attached router drive just does not exist when I type \\192.\168.2.1\buslink(a1) in the bar of the Explorer or the new network location dialog.
