  • X 61: wireless adapter stopped working at home, work at the office...

    It's the strangest thing. Last night my (Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG) wireless adapter stopped working at home - I can view all the networks and try to connect but it won't just end connections to one of the networks I could use in the past (my own password protected network or those open).

    Curiously, he does not work in my office, connect to our society, protected wireless network password.

    I tried to uninstall the drivers as well as access to the connections and install the latest drivers - but in vain.

    Help, please!

    Moderator Note: type added to the subject line.

    I don't know if it was AC 5.2 or not (because I just realized that the networks in question were not accessible on my iPhone either) - so I reset my router again and now everything is good.

    Thank you!

  • Re: Unable to get the wireless adapter to work on my Satellite L550-1CC

    I'm getting bored with this laptop, I reinstalled windows 7 (32 bit) and can not get the wireless adapter to work.

    My router settings are perfect, my netbook is zero connection problems - the router is just inches away from the laptop most of the time - the laptop insists that there is "no available networks."

    This of course is BS, before I reinstalled windows I could pick up 3 other neighbouring networks as well as mine.

    Windows automatically installed the wireless network - I thought that could be the problem, so I downloaded the realtek driver directly.

    No difference. Always the small icon with Red Cross barred through it.

    I thought it could have been a hot key problem - so I installed the flash card driver that apparently controls the access keys (for some reason any).

    Shortcut keys still don't work - I could really care about that - it's just the wireless network I need.

    Thanks for any help I receive.

    > my netbook has zero connection problems - the router is just inches away from the laptop most of the time - yet the laptop insists there is "no available networks."
    After reading this sentence, I'm a bit confused. If there is no available WLAN networks how your laptop had zero problems to connect?

    One last thing:
    > Of course is BS, before I reinstalled windows I could pick up 3 other neighbouring networks as well as mine.
    What is the difference between the old and the new installation of Windows?

    In general the WLAN use is fairly simple.
    Wireless network card - must be installed correctly (listed in Device Manager
    WLAN card - must be enabled using FN + F8 key combination to activate the wireless network card
    -scan the available WLAN networks area, click on the button of your WLAN and use connect
    -put key WLAN if necessary and after a few seconds WLAN connection will work

    I did this many times on laptops preinstalled Win7 and didn't have any problems. On all laptop computers pre-installed with Toshiba recovery image (factory settings) is not necessary to change the WLAN settings.

  • How to get a USB 2.0 wireless adapter to work on Win7 Ultimate 64-bit?

    Details:

    ASUS P8Z77 - V motherboard w/Intel Core i7 3.5 Ghz 3770 K LK
    16 GB OF RAM
    HWUN4 USB 2.0 wireless adapter b/g/n w/Realtek chipset Hawking RTL8192CU
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit fully updated to include SP1
    It is the second USB card who refuses to work on this platform, the first being something Rosewill which also uses a Realtek chip.
    I checked that the drivers for my MB are up-to-date, verified that I have later Hawking, tried drivers directly from Realtek drivers for the chip and assured that I installed the latest Intel MEI driver package for my motherboard. I went on the USB settings in the BIOS, but I'm not exactly fluent in what the options really are or do. I went through all of this also try to get the Rosewill unit to work several months past, as well, but without success with a device. It is postulated that the Hawking unit is actually Edimax, although I can't find any similar product on the site in order to try the drivers for. I also completely turned off my firewall ZoneAlarm and Avast! antivirus during installation and configuration, for the same results each time. The results does not same are achieved regardless of USB 2.0 ports 10 or if I connect to the adapter for.
    With this Hawking and the previous Rosewill adapter, drivers seem to installs successfully, such properties as displayed in the Device Manager say "this device is working properly", but they do not find a wireless signal. Simply says Windows Network Diagnostics adapter is "problems" and suggests that drivers can be a problem and always indicates that the latest drivers are already installed every time I have send the update to the latest drivers on my hard drive.
    I can come to only three possible conclusions:
    (1) Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit is unable to use USB 2.0 wireless network cards.
    (2) Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit is unable to use USB adapters based on the Realtek chips.
    (3) my motherboard lacks the correct BIOS settings to fully activate USB wireless.
    I have several other USB 2.0 devices that all work fine on this platform, including cameras, USB keys, external drive docks, mice, keyboards, phones, and others. I googled the days and found nothing to convince me the problem with my motherboard, I can't find anything specific on Win7x64 being a problem with this. Comments on NewEgg and other sites indicate people successfully use wireless adapters USB with Win7x64 and even on the same motherboard, I use, so I have to assume that I have either overlooked something or not yet found appropriate hardware and/or software settings.
    With this post being half-rant and half-cry for help, I will respectfully ask for suggestions on how to solve this maddening problem.

    «I don't mention it in my first post, certainly, but these devices have very certainly works wonders on a laptop with Win7x64 and a desktop computer with WinXPx32 installed.»

    So your previous conclusions are wrong, because they contradict what you are saying now.

    I can come to only three possible conclusions:
    (1) Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit is unable to use USB 2.0 wireless network cards.
    (2) Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit is unable to use USB adapters based on the Realtek chips.
    (3) my motherboard lacks the correct BIOS settings to fully activate USB wireless.
     
    I wanted to know if the adapter STILL works, not its past history. I have a D-Link WDA 2320 worked in another PC perhaps a year previously, but now it shows in the configuration, and that's as much as I can get with it. A few years ago I had a computer that did not like any wireless device, either PCI or USB and finished by hard wiring it which was very annoying.
     
    OK, back to your...
     
    Go to Device Manager and uninstall the device.
    Then set Device Manager to show hidden devices.
    Remove any instances where the adapter has tried to implement on a USB port
    Remove all instances of the downloaded driver files.
    Restart the computer. There should be nothing about it that the adapter can use more
     
    Then download a SINGLE instance of the pilots approved here. http://hawkingtech.com/products/hawking_products/Hi-gain_wireless_networking/HWUN4.html

  • How to activate the wireless adapter

    I currently have a HP Pavilion 17 computer laptop with Windows 7 Professional.  A few times in the past in the unit's wireless adapter stopped working.  I don't remember what I did to get it working again, then however at this time I can not activate even if I followed all the steps to change the settings of the adapter on the network and sharing Center.  When I select Connect, it simply shows that it is not connected.  Nothing I have tried seems to help.  I have a unit of Belkin Wi - Fi that works and my laptop runs as long as I have an Ethernet cable connected.  However if I disconnect the cable from the laptop does not connect via wireless adapter.  In the past he would always stay connected to the Wi - Fi connection even if I disconnected the cable.  Please give me any thoughts you had to solve it.  Thanks in advance for your efforts and help.

    I just wanted to know that I found the solution to my problem with the help of a response of the same issue posted last year.  Repeated pressing the F12 key with the picture of an airplane on the wireless card.  Forgive my ignorance, but thanks to all who took time to try to help me.

  • HP dv6-6c10us: HP dv6-6c10us Broadcom 802.11n wireless adapter does not work after windows 10 installed

    I have a laptop HP dv6-6c10us with a Broadcom 802.11n wireless adapter.  It worked fine on Win 7.  When I upgraded to win 10, it has stopped working.  The driver has not been updated since 06/02/13.

    Until the driver is updated by Broadcom or HP, this computer is now a desktop computer.

    Any suggestions on how to get the adapter wireless on Windows 10?

    I recommend you to go back and do a system restore to a point before started to install the automatic updates, and where worked the wireless.

    Then download this tool that stops updates to install automatically.

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/3073930

    Hide all of them and then install one by one until you find the one that is to destroy the wireless connection.

    When you have found the culprit just hide it again and it will not be installed.

    You can create a system restore point each time you install an update.

    Tedious, but you should get where you want to be.

  • No connections avalible on windows 7 with a working wireless adapter.

    That's what happened. I was in a Skype call with my friend and we had a connection error after about 30 seconds. Immediately I thought that it was my internet because my internet was very uneven, lately. After resetting my router and comeing back upstairs, I had the No. are networks avalible on my screen. Initially I thought that the proablem lied through my system services application, because that's where I set the proablem last time I had this proablem. What I did after that was I have activated the service autoconfic wwan and wlan autoconfiguration service. Has nothing. According to what I've done, I went to control panel and pass to solve my adapeter wireless even if it has been enabled and connected. Then I went in my device manager and tried to update the drivers on my adapter wireless by uninstalling it and then put it back. Then I noticed that teredo tunneling Pseudo-Interface was defective. I went to check and saw that he cound not start and had an error code 10: cound device does not start. I went to google and learned how to turn it off, and I did. After that he appeared more in the Device Manager which is ok because I thought that it would fix the internet. He did not.before all this I did a before a "critical update" windows system restore but that also did not help. I started running out of options. Please help me.

    It seems to me, of course, that your wireless network card is toast, no matter what that says Device Manager.  However...

    I didn't ask and you don't mention what you use a wireless router.  Is it possible that the router configuration has changed to the Wireless-N only, Wireless-B only, or some other setting with no Wireless-G?

    Indeed, is it possible that your wireless router has its section wireless disabled or broken?  Do you have any other wireless device that you can use to determine if the router is working OK?  If possible, test with a device near your desktop (it sounds as if your router is at some distance away).

    MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free) is not an antivirus.  It's a scanner antimalware on demand/remover that is intended to be used with an antivirus program.  See https://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/hc/en-us/articles/201861736-Does-Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware-replace-antivirus-software-

    Similarly, for Windows 7, Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program and not an antivirus (Microsoft makes things very confusing by reusing the same names for different products).

    If these two are security programs only you, your system is vulnerable, and you must install a real antivirus program.  Free offer of Microsoft - Windows 7 - is Microsoft Security Essentials.

    For now, I suggest that you run the ESET Online Scanner (free), but I don't think that malware is the cause of your Wi - Fi connection problem.

    D - Link does not appear to be any drivers for the Rev B of your adapter for what version that went Windows XP 32-bit.  D Link says that you should connect to the Internet using your wired LAN connection and get the driver right from Windows Update.  When you uninstalled and reinstalled the adapter using Device Manager, have you checked the box to delete the driver software?  If this is not the case, do it and then try to reinstall.  You need to be connected by an Ethernet cable in order to re - download the driver from Windows Update.  See http://www.dlink.com/uk/en/support/faq/adapters/usb-adapters/how-do-i-install-my-wireless-adapter-correctly-in-windows

    I doubt that D-Link updated its Wireless Configuration Utility for Windows 7, but if that was the case and that you use it, disable or uninstall (check Control Panel > programs and features).

    Other than the above, I'm sorry but I'm out of ideas.

  • wireless adapter is gone and the extension display not working after hibernation

    my laptop is a thinkpad X201s, os is windows 7, 32 bit, ultimate, English

    I used wireless home and my laptop is discharged, it is put into hibernation automatically

    the next day, I went to the office, plug power adapter and turn on the computer

    then I found wireless does not work, so I opened 'Control network and Internet\Network connections', there is no wireless icon. then I open "Device Manager", there is no wireless network adapter in network adapters

    and another bad thing is when I extend my screen with another monitor, the second screen shows nothing and the monitor does not work, it does not work in another computer, it seems necessary to fix. but it works before

    and I change a new monitor to connect my laptop display of the extension does not work, but the monitor can work in another computer, that's fine.

    and I restarted computer, no help.

    Finally I found the solution for wireless, first computer shutdown and plug-out the power adapter (it is very important), wait 30 seconds, then plug power adapter and restart the computer, wireless, great work

    now, the extension display function still does not work. I guess that the display extension PIN does not work, maybe need repaired

    Hi Jacky,.

    First of all we apologise for the late reply,
     
    As seems to be problems with the extension display port, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the computer.
     
    Please come back incase of any queries.
