  BIOS bug? I don t think so

  First of all, you must make sure that this isn't a hardware problem. In this case, insert the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall the operating system of this device. This will outline the laptop to factory settings. Notes; This would format the whole HARD drive.

  After the new installation, you must activate the WLan switch on the side of books, and you can then use the switch button FN + F8 to select the WiFi network.

  I assume that you have already configured your Wlan router. So the same settings such as the SSID, encryption of WLan, etc. must be defined on the laptop too.

• EliteBook 8440p: network adapter does not

  Hello:

  How to disable the card wireless using the key, you must read the user manual.

  I have a 6930p which was the model that preceded the 8440p and there is a black band with a few icons lit above the keyboard and mine has a blue icon wireless.  If I touch that, it becomes orange which means that the wireless is turned off.

• HP ENVY 15 t-k000 CTO Notebook: HP Envy My network adapter does not support gigabit speeds. Is there an upgrade available?

  My HP Envy 15 t-k000 works very well, but it is slow. I thought it was my internet until I did some troubleshooting and discovered that I don't get the super fast speed that I'm supposed to receive this is because my computer does not have a fast enough network adapter. He's currently the Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 it came with. I watched the maintenance manual and could not find an upgrade. Is there a module I can replace with allowing for speeds 1 G?

  The part number for the laptop is G0T55AV.

  Thank you!

  Hello:

  The adapter you mentioned... Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 is the wireless network card, and I do not think that this card connects everything faster than 72 Mbps.

  Your laptop comes with the card Realtek 10/100 ethernet (wired) and it cannot be upgraded because the ethernet chip is part of the motheboard.

  If you want a gigabit ethernet connection, so I advise you to buy an external USB to RJ-45 gigabit ethernet adapter.

  You won't find any wireless card that will go beyond the rate of 867 Mbps AC, and you would need a router ca to achieve these speeds.

  You would also dismantle the entire notebook to replace the wireless card and if your laptop has a single antenna attached to the atheros wireless network card, you will not be able to upgrade to the fastest wireless card.

  A proper AC map would be the Intel 7260 wireless card if your mobile phone has two antennas attached to the atheros card.

• Satellite Pro L300-1FL - WLAN network adapter does not exist

  Model: Satellite Pro L300-1FL (PSLB9E)
  Operating system: XP Pro SP2
  Wireless card: PA3616u-1mpc (atheros AR5007)

  the laptop came with pre-installed vista, everything worked very well (including wireless), although a little slowly, but decided to downgrade to xp. integrated SATA drivers into my xp with nlite installation disc. XP installed fine. visited the toshiba support site and downloaded all the drivers for xp and install.

  Despite the installation of the wireless driver there is still no present in the wireless network card device driver. It is an "unknown" device listed, which I think is the wireless card.

  at first I was not sure what card appeared so systematically installed that all options of wlan of the toshiba download page [intel/atheros/realtek], none has worked. little more digging autour and discovery was a then reinstalled atheros atheros wlan client on the toshiba site. still did not work. found a update atheros ar5007 driver installed, still no joy.

  forward wireless switch is on [the orange light] and has been throughout the process. have you tried enabling / disabling fn + F8, which doesn't do anything.

  I think I read somewhere (having read much too many post on this over the last few days!) that update the BIOS to version 2.4 can solve the problem. However the version offered for my model by the toshiba page BIOS update is 2.1 (which I've updated when you install all drivers in xp) and I'm not that eager to update the BIOS to a version that is not supported by toshiba, because I have no idea how fix an incorrect BIOS prevents starting the computer.

  When you look at the BIOS option "wake we wireless" is grayed out and not selectable. There is no other network without wire/related parameters. This might infer that the BIOS does not recognize the card wireless for some reason any. whereas he should have before, I started to lose its time, as worked it fine under vista wireless. so I think that upgrading the BIOS might have broken, although I can't be sure that I've updated the BIOS until I realize that the without wire did not work under XP, so it could have been broken before the BIOS update. Does this sound plausible? also, I have no idea how if is take to solve this - you can downgrade the BIOS?

  any help greatly appreciated - have been pulling on my hair for 2 days now and there is only so much googling, you can do before find yourself you constantly re - visiting the same sites over and over again!

  Thank you

  worried that he may have been conflict for different drivers wlan I had initially installed, so have done a complete re - format and re-installation of xp. Install the drivers, including the wlan driver atheros. but still no adapter wlan in Device Manager.

  the unknown device in the other section of the Device Manager is listed as an ethernet controller; However glancing upward from the PCI/VEN # (C & DEV_001C 168) on the basis of data from the provider PCI identifies that this is indeed the atheros card.

  This means that it is not a hardware/BIOS problem as I previously suspected. XP can 'see' the device, but for some reason, the driver won't work. Hmm

  someone at - it had a similar problem? is it just a matter of finding the "correct" driver

  Thank you

• Satellite L50-B-1DZ - wireless network adapter does not work

  So, my network wireless adapter completely stopped working. 2 days ago I couldn't connect to networks wirelessly without problem (although I've disconnected and will need to run the troubleshooter every few hours to reset it...), but yesterday I started to get the message "not connected - no connection is available. In broadcom 802.11n network adapter in Device Manager, the icon has a yellow warning symbol and the error message "this device cannot start. Code 10 ".

  I tried to update the drivers, but it gives just the same error message. I also tried to do a restore of the system since a week ago, but it has not fixed either.

  I found a youtube video that said that the problem can be caused by a software conflict and change value from registry, but that no longer works, and now I'm full of ideas.

  How have you tried to update the driver WLan?
  Have you tried to uninstall the driver first, and then after reboot again to install the new driver downloaded from Toshiba UE driver page?

  Try it!

  You said you reset the system in the past?
  How? Have you used the Toshiba recovery procedure and have you installed already preinstalled system once more?

• Wireless network adapter does not work anymore and will not be repeated work without stopping the computer and then back on.

  Sometimes I leave my computer on at night.  Sometimes I notice that when I get back to him the next day that he has limited connection to the network I use.  When I try to disconnect it from the network, then reconnect, it says that it cannot connect.  Then, when I try to restart my computer it is sitting at a screen saying "stop down". "."  My wireless network software also is unaccessable in which she does not open and if I close the Task Manager and reopen it flashes for a second then closes.

  However when I turn it on manually and then turn it on again, which apparently is not good for the computer, I am once again able to connect to the network with full access.
