My wireless connection turns off when I restart my computer.

My Internet AT & T Uverse vendor sent me an adapter for my HP Compaq Presario windows XP computer's free wireless. However, once I installed it, it turned off everytime I restarted my computer. AT & T Uverse Tech Support says that it wasn't a problem with the software, but they can not help me with the settings on my computer. I tried everything I know to do the work of Wi - Fi, but no avail. Can someone help me? I'm at my wits end. Thank you!

Hey Steve,

What type of wireless network card did give you?
It is a usb adapter and if so, what brand is it?
You use the Windows XP Wireless Manager or software that has been installed with the adapter?
It sounds like a problem with your wireless Manager did not remember network you connected to.
I suggest to uninstall all software provided with your card and using only the Windows wireless:
I hope this helps.

  • Compaq 6910p - wireless adapter turns off when the ethernet cable is connected

    Hi all

    Then, when I plug in an ethernet cable (connected to a router), my wireless adapter turns off.

    He immediately turns on when I unplug the ethernet cable.

    It isn't really a problem, either connection will provide my needs of networking, but it's just weird and I don't like it.

    Using Win7 Ultimate 64 bit.

    advice would be appreciated.

    Hello:

    This is the default setting to save the battery.

    If you always want the wireless on, go into BIOS > Menu of device Configuration and activation to deactivate WLAN-LAN.

  • Wireless connection is off when you look purely at Youtube

    Hi everyone, as the title suggests, my internet connection is off when you try to view a video of youtube, I formatted my laptop 10 days ago, I installed W7 Home Premium 32 bit Service Pack 1 as I have original, since the installation, I have disabled Windows Update and I don't have install of unique software until the problem occurred.

    At first, I was able to Watch youtube videos, I watched 2 or 3 episodes of the laboratory of human, then the next day, whenever I opened my youtube, my connection drops, by saying that my connection is a connection not identified without access to the internet, he arrived in 7 of 8 times since I watch 2 or 3 episodes the day before , just once, I could watch a video without the connection down after that.
    What I've tried is open command prompt and typed: "ipconfig/release" and then "ipconfig / renew", unsuccessfully, with the exception of one once where it worked, if I remember correctly, just the first time I tried this worked, so, it does not. So what I have to do is to restart my computer to get my connection back internet.
    My wireless don't even shows me that it has a connection, unidentified, until I have use command prompt and type "ipconfig/release", if I do not, then my connection shows I still have internet and after typing "ipconfig / renew" it still shows after I have an internet connection, but when I try to open a Web page no charge; saying the browser, waiting for a response from the Web page, and it arrives with Chrome, Firefox and IE. And I doubt that it is the modem as there is another computer that can run youtube without loosing the Wi - Fi connection in the House.
    The model is a Toshiba Satellite L455D-S5976 laptop with processor Athlon X 2 Dual-Core QL-64
    I hope that I am clear, as I don't know what to do to stop this from happening.
    Thanks in advance!

  • A Wi - Fi connection turns off when the lid closes, turns on when the lid opens

    On my Dell Latitude E6510 the Wi - Fi turns itself off when I close the lid and turn on automatically come back when I open the lid.

    I have power management in Win7 set to do NOTHING when I close the lid while operating on current alternative, but by closing the lid again stop Wi - Fi.

    I'd rather have stay wi - fit with the lid closed so that the laptop will remain on my home network, but I can't find any setting make the wi - fi turned on.

    Am I missing something or is just something that Latitude always does - none of my previous laptop Dell ever did that.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I already tried.

    However, in case someone else has the same problem later and find this thread, I found a solution.  Turns out the problem be that I was using own software Dell to manage the adapter Wi - Fi. The Dell software has some settings but none with either power off Wi - Fi or by closing the lid.  When I went to let Windows manage the Wi - Fi adapter, the problem disappeared.

  • HP 15-r011na: laptop turns off when it is attached cable ca

    Hi, I recently picked up the upgrade of Windows 10 and since then have had problems with the laptop switching power, do not know if it is related to Windows 10 but seems a coincidence!  When I got close I use the power on the screen completely closes the button and the laptop.  When I turn it on it's ok, if I have the AC cable disconnected (i.e. using battery power) but if I have the AC cable the screen goes off, but then goes black and seems to have turned off again, and I have to press the power button to put on the.  Also, if I connect the cable so that the laptop is on it goes black immediately, and if I delete it the screen comes alive again.  Can someone tell me what's going on that I have no idea about these things, and it makes me absolutely crazy!  I would really appreciate some advice please.

    Hi @Greenjack67 ,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your laptop 15-r011na HP TouchSmart and the laptop turns off when it is attached cable ca. Here is a link to test and calibrate your battery for Windows 10.

    Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

    Plug the power supply directly into a different wall outlet. Do not connect it a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.

    You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

    Here is a document that shows how update the drivers that do not work correctly with Windows 10.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

  • Two questions. (1) RIP in media player 11 problems. (2) portable speakers do not turn off when the headset is plugged...

    Hey all. I desperately need help. I have a laptop "Durabook" with Windows XP meidand service pack 3 update.  The internal speakers have never turned off when I plug a headset or headphone cable of the adapter into the outlet. It is an option that I have figured out. All my other laptops have silenced the computer speakers when headphones are connected.

    The most frustrating problem I have is in Media Player when you use the tab OUT, when I insert a cd Ripper in the computer, it is not recognized.  If I close and reopen WMP (Windows Media Player) cd, the cover and all the info of the cd is here and ready to be torn APART. Once the cd ends and ejects I insert another cd and nothing happens. Once again, I've closed and reopened WMP and evrything is ready to be torn APART again.

    Please please help.  I can't be the only one who had this problem.  I removed all anti-virus programs, removed and reinstalled WMP, twice.

    I'd appreciate any help.

  • wireless radio turns off every 2 minutes

    I have a Thinkpad Z60t, running on Windows XP.

    I have the wireless switch physical on the side panel on the position we (that is to the right).

    At the beginning, I can't connect to any wireless network without problem. However, after about 2 minutes of not actively using the internet, the green 'radio Wireless' on the front panel turns off and I lose my internet connection. Then I do "Fn + F5" (or ThinkVantage button-> manage my connections-> Radios in Wireless Power on / off) to activate on (and get the light to go back to being green). Then I have to reconnect to the wireless network.

    I think that this is a common problem. I tried several suggestions that I found on other forums, including ThinkVantage button-> manage my connections-> select location-> Open Access Connections profiles-> Configure-> location of switch-> UNSELECT "enable automatic location change". Actually, this method seems to work for a few hours, but then stopped.

    I am sure that my wireless network is stable - my roommate's laptop does not lose the signal every 2 minutes as I do. I think my laptop wireless radio turns off automatically after 2 minutes of no use, and this feature should be turned off somehow.

    Help, please. I'm frustrated to have to reconnect manually every 2 minutes.
