• ConfigFree on Satellite A80: wireless switch is OFF, when its actually

  I've seen several comments on this problem, none of them is resolved.
  I'm running an A80. Until I updated the driver wireless and Configfree, Configfree has worked well.
  Now, however, no matter what I do, any driver, I installed, or what version of Configfree, now they all insist that the wireless to cut when it is indeed running.
  Everything except the Radar works very well. Even now, I am connected to the wireless network.
  However - by selecting the Configfree Radar showed the error message
  "Wireless is disabled. Please activate the wireless communication switch.

  It drives me crazy. I spent three days on this problem. I guess that's not really necessary, because it is only a display - but I want it to work! :-)
  I am a very experienced user, but this one is difficult. because I suspect its software based really.
  I can't believe that in the world, with many people to see this problem, that Toshiba does not found the difinitive this problem cause and posted a fix.

  In summary.
  With original features such as pronounced - it worked and displayed near the wireless stations.

  After the upgrade to the latest drivers wireless and Configfree - Configfree actually works but WILL NOT operate the Radar, because he insists on the fact that the wireless switch is DISABLED, when in fact it is powered.

  I tried everything, including the FN + F8 - which also seems to be unresponsive. But it could be another problem, I hope. Not interested in this, because the wireless is still on.

  If anyone has a solution that works, I'd love to hear about it.
  Thank you

  Hello, Robert

  In my opinion ConfigFree is one of the best utilities offered by Toshiba. This utility is pre-installed, I think, on all models of laptops Windows XP Home edition, and I can't imagine that there is a bug.

  All of the tools and utilities that you can find in recovery image is suitable for each model of laptop, tested and I really can't imagine that such bug may be there. It is very interesting that you wrote on update. Sorry but I checked the original version and the version offered on the Toshiba download page, and they are absolutely identical (ConfigFree V5.00.45).

  I use two Toshiba laptops, both with WXP and I use the CofigFree version that is included in the recovery image. It works perfectly and I see no reason for update (if this update exists, but I don't believe that).

  So it will be interesting to know what version of ConfigFree you use and where you have founded an update. Please be so kind and give us more information about this update.

  Maybe a few links to other multiple posts may also be useful.

• Hi, my wireless smart says my wireless switch utility is disabled, but it is not.

  Installed windows 7 vaio vpcs111fm 0n. Wifi detection does not work. Tried to download all the driver downloads availible including smart wifi connection utility. It is said that my wireless switch is not lit. It is highly unlikely that the switch is bad because it was working fine before the installation. Could someone please help. My daughter needs this computer for school.

  Did you install the library on the part of Sony as mention in the statement in the SmartWi download page?

• Re: Wireless switch

  I have a portable Satellite A660 on which recently for an unknown reason, wireless has been disabled. Turn on the machine, wireless indicator does not light, but the adapter seen through Device Manager is enabled.

  Diagnosis of communication tells me to turn on the switch "Wireless Communications" but I can't find one - not on the front; not on the left side; not on the right side; not on the back, or anywhere else.

  I'm stupid or blind or both? How can I activate the switch "Wireless Communications"

• Tecra S1: Rf Ubuntu wireless switch does not work

  Hi all

  I recently bought an Intel mini-PCI wifi card for my Tecra S1 under Ubuntu. It is detected without any problem, Intel provides even native drivers for Linux. However, the hardware to activate wireless switch does NOT work. According to iwconfig, the radio is off. I use the ipw2200 driver which can detect the hardware and the software rf_kill. I can enable and disable software killing RF, but kill him material stays on.

  I suspect that the radio feature is disabled in the BIOS but I don't have Windows running on the laptop over to change the setting. Is it possible to access BIOS options under linux? Toshutils are not supported by the tecra because she seems to have a Phoenix BIOS.

  I hope you can help!

  Edwin...

  Hello

  Tecra S1 supports BIOS Toshiba you can access BIOS by pressing ESC at the beginning of the startup.
  In any case I think you won't find anything in the BIOS.

  If you are not able to use the switch of material on the side of the laptop then the Wlan card is not compatible or the hardware switch is malfunctioning. I would say that the card is not supported.

  Maybe the insulation of the 13 pin might help please check that this son:

• Satellite L300 - wireless switch power switch does not work

  I installed XP on my L300 - 110 (PSLB0E), cause I don't like Vista. I installed all the drivers, and everything is quiet OK. But one thing little annoying me - wireless, switch, it does not work. So I can turn on Wi - Fi only by pressing Start-> connections and so on.

  I need help! Who can tell me, what driver or software do I need to install? Thnx a lot!

  Hello

  Do you mean the hardware switch on the side of the fron of the laptop?
  Normally this switch still works because he founded material s and must always be defined on IT if you want to use the WLAN and OFF to disable WLAN.

  Have you tested the switch on OS preinstalled Toshiba? Maybe it's a hardware problem

  Make sure that the latest drivers are installed!

• Satellite A660 Wireless does not work: how to turn on the wireless switch?

  Wireless to the new laptop just stopped working. When I press Fn + f8 it says: Wireless Communication is disabled. Please activate the Wireless Communication switch.

  I tried to disable and enable wireless, update (Realtek PCie FE family controller) and Broadcom 802.11n network adapter driver and load the default settings in the Bios but nothing has worked. The button on the top panel wireless is turned on and when I press the button, a window called support thoshiba button jump upward and said: the key has not been configured. But this happens to other laptops also (we have 8 portable type, even), it cannot use the wifi. What can I do now?

  Hello

  Please reinstall the Wlana driver and try again. (Do not to update to uninstall the old driver, restart the device and install the new drivers)
  In most cases these disorders Wlan is displayed if the WiFi driver does not work correctly.
  Given that all other laptops are ok, I think that it is a temporal matter in the registry or something like that

  PS: It is possible that the FN buttons do not work corectly. Therefore, you can reinstall the VAP (value added package) and support of card Flash Utility so in order to reconfigure the FN keys.

• Wireless switch on, but the green light is turned OFF so WiFi doesn't work do not

  Hello

  Sony VAIO VGN-FE780G with Windows 8.

  Wireless switch starts giving the problem for the past 1-2 years. The green light is used for down working on laptop, usually as he used to come down as soon as you move the laptop little. I used to move the cursor to the market and push it a little to make it ON. This is usually used to make green and wifi, used to work.

  Last week the green light went off and then even after trying to do ON dragging to MARKET or pushing, sound not to become green.

  My guess is that the switch had bad connection and now it has finally broken from the inside.

  What is the solution? I can open the laptop and fix it?

  Kind regards

  Sachin

  raklow364:

  Although the VGNFE780G initially provided with Windows XP and is not supported for Windows 8, I would say that if you had Windows 8 working on the PC to WiFi before, this seems to indicate a problem of material with the switch.

  Have you tried opening the charm of settings in Windows 8, and clicking on the PC to change settings link, then wireless to see if the WiFi radio has been disabled in the settings?

• Wireless switch doesn't seem to work on the Satellite M35X-S114

  I have a Satellite M35X-S114. OS is XP SP2. I use wireless at home for years. Yesterday, my laptop started telling me that it couldn't find my router and my wireless radio switch was not turned on. As it's turned on and orange glowing like always. I went through the process of troubleshooting Linksys and it tells me the same thing, "my wireless radio switch is disabled. I have a bad switch? I rebooted several times. I don't see anything unusual in the Device Manager.
  I'm currently wired to my router in order to access the internet. This shows the router works fine, as well as other home PC is able to access. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you
  Sam

  Did you check if the wireless card is enabled/disabled using the FN + F8 key combination? You can also check using utility ConfigFree. Make sure that the wireless network adapter is correctly enabled.

• S10-3 questions of WiFi: Wireless function / antenna disabled - unable to connect to a WiFi network

  I recently bought an IdeaPad S10-5 / Type 0647 / Windows 7 operating system.

  I can't connect to a local wireless network at all. I can't even see all WiFi networks in my grand that I can see with my notebooks in use.

  Atheros AR9285 wireless network adapter driver seems to be updated ((version dele de pilote est 8.0.0.279).)

  I tried various things such as deactivation and activation of wireless networks / adapter, looking for the latest version of the driver etc without success.

  I activated the WiFi to the computer (setting of the HW switch) and but if I go through the (Systemsteuerung) Control Panel and Device Manager I get the message AdapterLAN connection or the wireless function is disabled

  Lenovo ReadyComm told me that the antenna of the wireless device is turned off.

  If I can't solve this problems, I'm afraid I have to return this computer.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  Thank you and best regards.
