• 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.

• Laptop will NOT connect wireless, my drivers ARE up to date

  My Windows Vista laptop, USED to connect to my router wireless very well. Now it won't, it doesn't even recognize that a network is available. I looked for answers and have updated all my drivers on windows suggested and still not connect wireless. My blackberry to connect to my router very well... Help, please!

  Hello

  Turn off the router and the Modem - wait 3 minutes and reverse. Restart the computer.

  Some systems have a power switch on the front or side. If a laptp or a PC that uses embedded
  WiFi check/configuration settings (BIOS/CMOS) as you start - often F2 then warning screen - select-
  boar without wireless/WiFi. If the PC of a kitchen separated and system maps turned OFF and try to remove and
  replacement of the card - in fact remove - do not just tight.

  A manual update or re - stall your drivers by using these methods, do not use only the driver update as
  You must refresh the batteries of any driver.

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon. Use a wire or download drivers
  on another computer and use removable media to transfer to your system.
   
  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Windows 7 laptop does not connect to Wifi when the WPA2 security is Active

  I have a rather unusual problem that my Compaq CQ56 laptop not not connect to my router, ASUS RT-AC56U Wi - Fi when WPA 2 security is active on the router. With WPA2 is off, it connects without a problem. But, when I turn it on WPA2 on it will not connect. This problem persists even if I change the WPA2 authentication code. All other devices at home are able to connect with the wifi with WPA2 enbabled router, and this particular laptop was able to do so until very recently.

  Just to make sure that the adapter in the Compaq works, I just went to Starbucks and it connected to their wifi unsecured without problem.

  I was using a TP-Link Wireless Range extender on the home network, but it was deleted.

  I ran the network troubleshooting and Fix - It nothing works.

  I suspect that for my home network installation file was corrupted on this laptop and I would like to know if there is a way to remove, or edit this file and start from scratch. I have a Compaq laptop earlier generation linking problem now. So I'm pretty a connection file corrupted is the problem. Just need to know how to solve this problem.

  Thanks for any help!

• 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?

• 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.

  We recently upgraged to a new blank media 3 hub, the printer is connected to a Hp Windows Vista desktop via USB, other devices (laptops and tablets) could access the wireless printer when the computer is turned on.

• My toshiba laptop will not connect to my HP Envy 4500 printer

  Recently, I tried to connect my Toshiba laptop running Windows 8, wireless on my HP Envy 4500 printer. I am trying to scan something on my laptop, I did with the printer before. I have the remote app, and I have connected to the network the printer wireless displays in the wifi of my computer. However, when you try to get the printer to scan, using the option on the printer screen, it says that no device is connected, and to ensure that the software has been installed and this scan to pc has been activated. I opened the application on my laptop, in hopes of getting better results using what it was, but he told me that the printer is offline, if it was obviously on. I'm not entirely sure why the printer doesn't recognize my laptop, even if my laptop recognizes. I spent nearly two hours, disconnection and reconnection, as well as the printer off about three times. I'm about to uninstall the application and try to reinstall, but I'm questioning that results will be better.

  I don't see any other way to solve this problem, because there is no USB port to connect a USB cable don't, like myprevious printer and wonder if it is my laptop, not the printer, which is faulty. It works for printing, when it comes to other devices in my house, but I had problems same impression with my Toshiba before. I tried only with another scanning device: a desktop HP Pavilion Media Center TV PC computer. I'm starting to think that the scanner is broken to only other reognizing products HP and ask any advice to fix this problem.

  Hi AMakkei,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that you can't scan with your Envy HP 4500 to your laptop Windows 8, and I'm happy to help you with this problem of connection!

  To get help, I'll need to know the following information:

  • If the printer is capable of making copies of itself.
  • If the power cable plugged into a surge protector, or directly on a wall plug. Questions when it is connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power. This is true for printers and ink jet.

  In the meantime, please try go through this guide. A computer"not found" or a Message appears "connection error" during the scanningand let me know what happens!

  I hope to hear from you and have a nice day!

• Laptop will not connect to my home wireless network

  I've had my laptop for a few months and my home network wireless also. My laptop has always worked perfectly until last night, I was in the living room and my phone cut because it ran out of battery. I went to restart, and when I did, NO network could be found, and several others usually appear outside my home network. The wireless switch is turned on and I rebooted the computer several times, I ran the wizards and shooters of boredom, I started the wireless zero configuration, but nothing happens. everything he says is "wireless networks could not be found", and when I click on the message, a black box appears with a message saying "windows has encountered an illegal instruction. I don't know what to do. my laptop model is a Sony Vaio, but that's what I know. My ipod connects to the wireless perfectly, so I know its my laptop that needs fixing.
