My wireless home does not appear on as a network available on my work laptop and always did before.

My wireless home does not appear on as a network available on my work laptop and always did before.  He brings up and connect on my laptop. I have a Linksys broadband router - summer use it for at least two years with no problems until this.  I know that my wireless works on my laptop because there is an unsecured network listed in the available window.

A really strange thing that happened two weeks ago (and I don't know if it's related) was my personal laptop was fine during several hours - then he kept abandonment of the internet connection.  I couldn't keep him connected - reboot etc didn't work.  I've not logged again until today - and that's what I use now.  He connected very well today.

My work laptop had been connected to my wireless ealier in the week, but when I tried to connect as usual Thursday night he has not logged automatically as it has always done in the past.  Nothing has changed.  Security patches that my company had sent through this week have not downloaded until after that I tried to connect and couldn't.  There is nothing new - he had no reason to think I should not have automatically connected as I have in the past.

  • HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel

    My HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel.  How to fix it.  I have a laptop Toshiba and Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  Help, please.    rwillm

    Hey,.

    Thanks for the update, rwillm.  It seems that the installation of the printer can be a little messed up.  If the printer software is always installed, but simply lacks the printer, then I would advise to do a little cleaning before choosing to add the printer back.

    • Make sure that the printer is deleted from the file devices and printers
    • Click on one of the remaining printers folder
    • Select the properties of the print server at the top of the window
    • Click the tab drivers
    • Remove all drivers in this window for the Officejet 4500

    Also check in the Device Manager to verify that there is no mention of remaining of the 4500.

    • Click on the start menu
    • Right click on computer
    • Select manage in the list
    • Click Device Manager in the list of questions on the left side of the window that opens
    • Click the view at the top of the menu, and then select Show hidden devices
    • Remove all references to the 4500 in the list of devices

    After making sure of the device is gone, I recommend bike devices in the power circuit: router, computer and printer.

    * Make sure the printer has a valid IP address after switching back on and is connected to the same network as your PC before adding the printer.

    If the IP address and SSID are good for the printer, then try to add the printer with the printer software, you have installed.

    • Click on the Start Menu
    • Click on all programs
    • Open the HP folder
    • Open the folder for the series of the Officejet 4500 G510
    • Select Add a device option

    Let me know how it goes,

  • Unable to connect to the network and wireless interface does not appear in ipconfig/all on Vista32

    My niece has a laptop of HP under vista32 who cannot access the network wirelessly or wired.  She is in College and needs the laptop on the network as soon as possible for his class work.  I tried to reload the driver wireless driver (Atheros AR5007 b/g) and reset the tcp/ip stack using the command netsh addressed in the microsoft article, but nothing works.

    I brought the laptop to work where we have an unsecured wireless lan (called comments) for visitors and the laptop can go out and find all points of access wireless including comments.  When I select the comments and try to connect it times out and tells me to watch driver and tcp/ip connections.

    Another clue may be that the wireless card does not appear when I type ' ipconfig/all', or the adapter wireless and wired adapters are not displayed:

    C:\Users\Admin>ipconfig/all

    In the case where somone has this same question, I wanted to post my final resolution of the problem. I backed up its data and restored the laptop to factory default using HP restore and now everything works fine.  Better I would say loading Zone Alarm on Vista was a bad thing for my niece to do.  Would have been nice to find a magical solution to avoid restoring but never found one.  Even after the alarm zone using their instructions by removing completely, there was apparently a problem with the registry who wouldn't let networks are working properly.  One thing I noticed after that the restoration was the HP Wireless Assistant poped up and told me about available networks, etc.  Assistant wireless didn't pop-up at all whne the cell was dismantled so maybe assistant was broken?  Well, I'm out...

  • HP Photosmart c309a network wireless radio does not. printer no longer sees (network)

    My Photosmart c309a printer is not ALL networks.

    -using the windows Vista

    -four portable wireless maintain excellent connections to the home network

    -a the recent failure of electricity, but all computers domestic mobile re-login to the network;

    -a ran HP wireless network Test Report which shows wireless "On", but "The FAILURE" of wireless work;

    -diagnostic report also shows wireless radio does not. and I have to contact HP support.

    So far, I took the following measures:

    -stop the entire network (Linksys router)

    -unplugged and replugged the printer and router

    -set factory default printer

    -all I can think (but go ballistic)

    I have a similar problem, except that my 309 a link but if it is idle for a few moments he log out and have to stop and reconnected or reset using the configuration menu.  Contact with HP said that HP is aware of the problem but that he has no intention to post a fix and the problem is inherent in most of their printers...  Techrep indicated that the best solution to get a new printer.  I recently bought a Canon all-in-one and it works as advertised.  I always use my HP in a wireless mode, but you need to restart after each impression if more that a few short minutes between printing.  Sorry I'm no help, but just passing on what HP says about this printer.

  • My cd drive does not appear in the my computer list. Œuvres to eject and it looks like it works.

    Under my computer, Miss me my CD card. I hear the CD player to make the noise, but it will not be displayed on the screen. So I can't read CD that I saved the material on. My Dell is only 3 years old. Maybe bad CD player already? Can you help me? Thank you

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

  • HP Pavilion dv6t-7000: Ralink RT5390R wireless adapter does not connect to 802.11n network

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6t-7000, equipped with the Ralink RT5390R wireless adapter.  For the life of me, I can't get it to connect to my home network when implemented as 802.11n.  They connect other devices. If I change my router 802.11 g, but no other change, doe HP connect. But if I return the router to 802.11n, HP sees the network, and it correctly identifies as a 802.11n network, but does not connect.

    The router is a D - Link DIR-615 (N300 2.4 ghz)

    All this experience? All solutions?

    Woo-Hoo.

    Found a solution.  Both HP and windows said I had the most current drivers, but this HP forum had a link to a newer driver.  Installed and it worked.

  • Game 360 wireless receiver does not appear in Device Manager.

    Hello

    I recently bought a 360 game wireless receiver for my laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)) (w / two usb 3.0 ports)
    The receiver came with an installation disk that redirect me to a download of updated driver where I downloaded the Windows 7 drivers (64-bit). After installing syncing controllers unsuccessfully. The receiver flashes green when I press the button and the controller detects the signal when I press the button, but she never settled in a quadrant to the light upward.
    I searched the internet and this site where people asked similar questions. "Most have solved their problem by following a step by step process that is to locate a "unidentified device" or a" ""controller common microsoft ' in the Device Manager. I think not or the other device, a manager.

    It's my problem, I would be able to resolve the issue had the device in Device Manager, but this isn't the case.

    If anyone could offer any help it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    This thread has been created in forum Windows 7 games; the moderation of Microsoft team has moved this thread to the Windows 7 Hardware and drivers Forum.

    You try to use another USB port to see if it works or not, or on another computer to check if the receiver is actually working properly.
