my wireless capability is turned off

My wireless networks will not be displayed, and when I trouble shoot said that my wireless capability is turned off

See the user manual of your computer and search for these elements that can turn the wireless on and outside networking capability:

  • A switch on the housing.
  • A combination of keys, such as Fn + F5.

  • Satellite A660-17 t - wireless capability is turned off

    Hi, I hope someone can help.

    I bought my laptop in February last as something "Toshiba reconditioned. The problem is that often when I use the laptop I suddenly lose the internet connection and troubleshooting knowledge than the 'wireless capability is turned off"even if I don't touch or whatever it is pressed. This happens randomly and not all the time I use the machine.

    There is a wireless switch between the keyboard and screen, but which has no effect. The function keys don't seem to work as far as I can tell.

    If I restart the laptop wireless then works fine? It can sometimes go for days without problem, or it can play up to continually?

    I'm puzzled as to why he does on its own and why it is so random. I called the service desk and the guy got me to uninstall and then reinstall something in Device Manager, but it did not help. It was for me to 'restore' the machine to factory settings, but I am not convinced that this will help me?

    I'm not a geek - then someone can you please advise if there is a setting or something I should use to prevent this.

    The operating system is Windows 7 and my anti virus is AVG if that helps. It is not my router as other devices work fine.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    As much as I know there not additional switch to activate the Wlan. You can enable or disable the WiFi network using the FN + F8 key combination.
    Have you tried that?

    In your case I would recommend updating the driver WLan.
    In many cases, updates to improve the performance of WLan and could help you solve this problem
    Of my knowledge, the laptop was equipped with a Wlan Intel card.
    Thus, you should use the driver Intel Wlan from here:

  • HP Pavilion 17 Laptop: Wireless capability is turned off

    I bought the new laptop and has worked well for me the last couple days. Clicked on another page and says unable to connect to the Internet. Resolve to see what the problem is and says 'wireless capability is turned off. Tells me to find keys function or button wifi, but as far as I know I am not one of them. I checked my wireless networks and they are supposed to connect automatically, so turn on the wifi on the laptop seems to be the only problem, but it seems that I can't. How do I turn it back on?

    I had no idea f12 was the wireless icon, who held it down and worked, thank you.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p045tx: wireless capability is turned off, the Wi - Fi button on / off Greyed Out

    Hello

    I was faced with this problem for a lot of time.

    The Network Diagnostics, it gives this error:

    WiFi is disabled

    I don't have any hardware button that can wifi device off / turn on my keyboard, see the example image below:

    I never turned off the device physics wifi directly or from the BIOS.

    Tried the "f12" also, airplane Mode which also did not help.

    in any case, I tried on things until now, nothing helps:

    (1) reset BIOS HP using HP Usb Disk

    2) update drivers wireless Broadcom using HP Support Assistant

    (3) re - install the Broadcom drivers

    (4) install the Realtek drivers

    (5) Restroing 8.1 full disk recovery Windows.

    (6) installed Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora), but that also free WiFi does not appear.

    Please guide me what can be the possible cause of this problem.

    The issue seems to be with my wifi chip.

    Eventualy I had to take the laptop to the Service Center. The guy tried everything I did once again.

    Finally, the issue is resolved, he plugged into the smart wifi, cleaned both ends, a little with the help of an eraser and reinserted and voila, it has detected. He said it could be the issue of carbon deposited on the ends of the chip connection.

    Since then, I've encountered same question several times, and everything I do is open my laptop, plug out a smart WiFi card mother, clean up a bit and plug it again.

    And he started working like a charm.

    Maybe it is loose or I don't know what the exact problem is.

    But he still has a problem with the antenna, I get very low my wifi signal, even if I'm in the right range of wifi router.

  • Wireless connection keeps turning off when Asus A54C off

    Hi, I just bought a 2nd hand laptop. I can't work on why the wireless capability will not stay connected all the time. Whenever I put it to sleep, restart, or stop it disconnects and I must manually reconnect the wireless every time I shoot under.

    I adjusted all the settings of power, more I went to the Manager of devices and networks and unchecked the box where it says something about shut down to save power.

    Troubleshooting indicates that the wireless feature is not enabled when I fix it manually each time

    Any suggestions?

    Uninstalling the Wireless Console 3 software does the trick.

  • Y580 with Win 8 Wireless keeps itself turning off during sleep - new edition.

    I have a newer Y580 with Windows 8.

    I've had this computer for months and the wireless worked perfectly well. I did no new changes and updates that I can remember recently have run.

    Whenever I close the lid on my laptop, the wireless connection will turn off. Windows displays the airplane mode is DISABLED and it shows no networks available in the section 'Wi - Fi '.

    Wifi works only after disablng of the wireless device, the reactivation of the device and then clicking on "Diagnose" from the popup menu of the device.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hi all

    I have a T410 with windows 7 32-bit company. The normal Wi - Fi connection and connection blue tooth are stable and works well.

  • IdeaPad Y530 wireless wifi is turned off then on battery

    I have a new Ideapad Y530 Intel 5100 wifi wireless network card. It works fine when I am connected to an electrical outlet, but when I am on battery it loses connection Wireless after about half an hour of use. When I check the network card, it shows that it is disabled. I'm trying to enable him, but she remains disabled, I can't operate unless I restart the computer. I've done so far that has not fixed it problem:

    1. I checked the power management settings in the device for the network card Manager and you have unchecked the box "allow the computer to turn off the device to save power".

    2. I already uninstalled Readycomm since I had problems with it before

    3. I also affect roaming aggressiveness 1.

    Can someone direct me on how to keep network to get wireless card disabled when I am on battery?

    In addition, once I lose the connection Wireless because the network card is disabled, Windows Vista network settings are really slow to come for me to check my network connection and settings, never had this problem with XP. System seems to hang for several minutes before I can get into the network and sharing Center.

    Thank you.

    I think I've figured this out. I disabled and then uninstalled the power management Lenovo that at first seem to solve the problem but didn't. I knew that it was something to do with power management, so I checked my settings and it was set to energy saving. When I changed to balanced remained turned on the wireless network adapter and I have not lost my network connection. I checked power options advanced for the adapter in symmetric mode and energy-saving wireless and found that Power Saver if it had set for the Maximum energy savings while only balanced if it had set for maximum Performance. The setting for maximum energy savings, it is this that kept disable the wireless card with after several minutes, I changed it to the following configuration, low energy and my without thread remains active and I don't lose my network connection. So for anyone else having problems with the loss of their wireless connection, try to check your power management settings.

  • HP 4585 Wireless does not turn off

    I have a HP Photosmart C4585 all - in - one printer and it does not turn off using the power button.

    I have already disconnected the cable, waited more than an hour and it has not solved the problem.

    I also completely uninstalled and reinstalled without success.

    Maybe it isn't a huge problem, because it does not work, I don't think it's good to keep it on all the time and wasting energy.

    Please let me know.

  • Tecra M11 - capacity wireless turns off by itself

    I have a Tecra M11 who likes to turn off its wireless capability. It will sometimes go days without doing it, but for example today it did not less than 3 times. He's going to lose contact with my wireless network and when I go to reconnect I see that because the wireless feature is turned off there is no network available. When windows (windows 7 64 bit) allows to solve the problem, he tells me to "turn wireless capability" and if I jump it offers that I plug in an ethernet cable. I checked the physical switch on the front of the computer and also WiFi accessible by the Fn keys toggle switch, the two have no effect on the conviction of my computer that wireless capability is turned off.

    My old tecra M9 has also done this, but I didn't expect my other (one month) to do the same thing. I can fix this problem by restarting the computer, but I'm looking for a permanent solution.

    Thanks in advance

    > My old tecra M9 has also done this, but I didn't expect my other (one month) to do the same thing. I can fix this problem by restarting the computer, but I'm looking for a permanent solution.

    I think that this is not a problem of WiFi for laptop, but I think that it s related to the WLan router because you had the same problem with Tecra M9.
    I recommend updating the firmware on the router first. In addition, you must reconfigure the router again. You will need to play with a different option like the use of different channels of WLan, Wlan encryption, etc.

    Good luck
