NB520 - Wifi stopped working suddenly on its own

Hello

I bought my NB520 to Singapore.

WIFI worked fine for almost 3 years, until very recently, I have a strange problem.
It stopped working suddenly on its own during almost 2 weeks in June.

Just when I was about to send it to the repair center, he returned.
But WIFI comes on and off for a few weeks before he stabalised.
It works well since then, up to 3 days ago, he set out again like last time.

Usually, when I switch on the netbook, WIFI (red light) lights a few seconds.
To use Bluetooth, I just right click on the Bluetooth icon and press "Turn on Bluetooth function" and Bluetooth turns on.

But now when I do that, it tells me to "connect Bluetooth device".
Is it a hardware problem or software?
I spoke with a local technician, but she is not sure too.
Would appreciate if you can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.

Kind regards
Fionna

> Is it a hardware problem or software?
This can very easily get the laptop back to factory settings.
But I guess that this is not an option for you at this time. Isn t it?

However, the question that you talk about in your message looks like the isn t correctly chosen and active WLan.
Usually, you can use the secret key FN + F8 to activate and deactivate the module WiFi and BT.
Both keys would switch WLan BT as well as disable and enable the modules.

Have you tested this in the past?

Where the FN + F8 does not work as it should, I recommend you download the driver Wlan from Toshiba published page for this series of laptop and reinstall the driver Wlan.

Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

  • Omen of HP 15: Wifi stop working. Win10 shows only a single network and it connects to the WiFi

    Hi guys,.
    Since a few days my wifi stopped working.
    If I click the Wifi icon it shows only a SINGLE NETWORK (two maximum), but not mine!

    And I live in a building of 20 + networks, as you can see on the WiFi Analyzer (I'm the only red to the right)



    If I reactive / disable Wifi with fn + f12, it goes back in plane and Wifi mode mode and sees it eventually all networks:



    My Wifi is on top. If it is registered, Windows connects to it and then she abandons the connection; If it is not registered, and I try to connect, it says "you are not able to connect to this network.
    Is fun is that after a few seconds, each network disappears and alone is shown (probably the one next door... I don't know).

    I already tried to RESET the laptop MATERIAL by keeping the power button for 10-15 seconds with the laptop is turned off.
    I tried to follow these instructions (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04649175) updated drivers (Intel 18.12.0.3, 18.12.1.2, 18.30.0.9 [10 default Windows], 18.32.0 [last drivers]) without success. Whenever I have install a new driver, I uninstalled the earlier software Wireless + restart.

    I tried to uncheked "allow this computer to turn off this device to save power" on my settings of Wifi hardware without success.

    HP network support said that I did not choose a Wifi (really? The problem is that I do not see my Wifi on the list!).

    This is unrelated to a new 10 Windows upgrade since I installed it months ago and this is the first time I have this problem :/ It has always worked

    I tried different settings too:
    I changed the channel, I put 802.11 g on my router, APSD off on the router.
    I put "Magic off packet, QoS ad hoc off, U-APSD off, fat wide channel, differential flow mode HT off" on the creation of the map without success. Nothing chaned.

    The hardware test detects any failure.

    Important note: If I close the router, it shows my network connection with full power and he connects to it. Then I come back in my room (probably 3/4 meters away), it MAINTAINS the connection for 30 / 40 min and he drops the connection and I cannot reconnect to it more. It has always worked perfectly in my room during these months (I bought it in March 2015), so the distance is not a problem, I'm 6 / 7 m away from the router.
    In this case, it shows my network (connected) and the nearby... and the other 20 networks +?

    The only way I have is USB tethering with my Nexus 5.

    Linux: I tried the WiFi on Freya elementary (Ubuntu linux OS base) and it displays 20 + networks available on the list. He has not the connection problem with my Wifi, but sometimes it stops working, Web pages stop loading and I have to restart Wifi to reconnect to the it (usually after 30/40 min of use it).

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    What is the problem? My Wifi card is broken? Should I call Italian support or if you have any suggestions?

    WAWood,
    I took a risk.
    I did a factory restore with recovery HP (I have a drive dedicated for her)... and it worked!
    I had to switch from Win8.1 to 10, but the Wifi problem is solved!

    I'm still guessing that was the problem...

    Now, I'm under Intel drivers 18.30.0.9 worm and all the networks work.

    In the next few days I'm checking the linux problem (reset deleted primary partition).

  • WiFi stopped working

    We're both 73 years old so not savvy with laptops, etc.

    our wifi stopped working, but he works hard cable

    does anyone know what has happened and how we can fix it, please

    Hi Joyce,

    Let me see if I can help you through this...

    The problem lies in the configuration 'power options' in the 'control panel' as some changes simple to do to correct the problem.

    I have written instructions as well as provided photos of each step - please see the pictures for a better understanding.

    Good,

    1. click on the 'Control Panel' then icon in the Control Panel window opens.

    2. at the top right of the search window "" view by: category " you will see a small arrow pointing down next to the word 'Category' - click with your mouse as 2 more options will appear in a menu drop-down."

    https://drive.Google.com/file/d/0B5B...JTQXNEMUk/view

    3. click on the option "large icons" you will then see a lot more features in the control panel are displayed.

    https://drive.Google.com/file/d/0B5B...ZGSVB0Zm8/view

    4. scroll the words 'Power Options' and click on it that a new window will open.

    https://drive.Google.com/file/d/0B5B...pTTmZBTXM/view

    5. you will see 2 options here - if not click the drop down arrow in the center of the page to reveal the words - 'Balanced' & 'High Performance '.

    https://drive.Google.com/file/d/0B5B...dpVzVHT0U/view

    You should see a small circle checked next to the word "Balanced" - you need to change this setting by clicking on the 'High Performance' next option to fix the wifi issue.

    Once you have completed these steps: close the window and test your wifi to see if that fixes the problem - if it isn't trying to "Reboot" or "Restart" your laptop and retest the wifi.

    Joyce, please report it here in case of problems you may encounter and need assistance.
    Also please report back here if this corrects the problem of wifi.

  • My network card on my Inspiron 1750 has stopped working suddenly.

    My network card on my Inspiron 1750 has stopped working suddenly. I left the computer, while I was working online, went for about 2 hours, and when I came back, I wasn't online more. I can't reconnect to the internet. I was on the phone with the cable operator for two hours Tuesday night, and they said that I probably need an updated adapter. My computer tells me it is good, but then again, I can't connect to the internet to check. I tried an ethernet connection, but it is not recogniziing either. What should I do?

  • WiFi stop working on my Inspiron 1525 after installing Windows updates

    Updates of Windows installed a few days and wifi, stop working. I uninstalled the windows updates since that day, updated the WLAN driver and even updated my BIOS, and nothing seems to solve the problem. He says I'm on local access only, but when I connect to a modem, I have still no internet to diagnose problems. Any help would be great!

    If possible, try to connect to a different wireless network and see if you continue to have the problem.  If you have other systems that connect to your network that aren't problems check everything their network settings and make sure that there are no differences on your system.

    Try the safe mode with networking, (hold the SHIFT key down while clicking on restart and then choose Safe mode with network) once in failure of Windows to see if you can connect.

    Check power settings, simultaneously press the windows key and x and select Device Manager, look for the wireless card and double click it, choose the power management tab and delete control "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" and then try to connect.

    Change the power plan to high performance, press the Windows key and the X set button again and choose power options, power management has chosen and select high-performance, plug in the AC adapter and the wireless card test.

    Please reply back with the results and if you can what Windows updates has been downloaded.

  • Portege M100 - WiFi stops working

    The WiFi on my M100 stopped working after I opened the panels on the bottom (Bay of RAM memory).
    Nothing of course unplugged it nor around the switch.

    Any suggestions?
    Am online now with the help of an adapter USB would like to repair the on-board system.

    All ideas welcome.

    Hello

    Did you remove the memory modules, or you did things near the WLan module?

    There could be two possible reasons; you have logged out somehow the WLan (black and white) antenna cables or removed somehow the miniPCI WLan module slot
    I don't know what you did in the past but must check if the wireless network adapter is connected correctly.

    If its connected properly then check if it s active.
    You can activate the Wlan using the FN + F8 key and switch the Wlan on the side of the laptop
    In addition, you can activate the wifi card in-Wlan card-> Advanced tab > Device Manager.

    You should also check the BIOS if there are a few settings on the WLan

  • XPS13 9350 Wireless stopped working suddenly

    I have had the machine for about 30 days, and it worked fine.  All of a sudden today, the radio stopped working.  I'm on Windows 10.  In Device Manager, the Broadcom 802.11 card is a failure with the error message "this device does not and is being reset. (Code 54) ».  The driver version is 1.555.0.0.

    Please advise on how to diagnose the problem yet, and/or repair.

    Hello

    I had the same thing happen to someone using a Dell XPS 13 9350.

    I went into the BIOS settings and disabled the Bluetooth of the reworked wifi and wireless device. Of course if you need your laptop to be Bluetooth compatible, this solution is not ideal, but in the meantime, it's better than nothing.

    I hope this helps.

  • 2007 Macbook Pro Wifi stopped working

    Out of the blue, the Wifi on my 2007 MacBook Pro has stopped working.  He said "turn wireless on" and the button lights for click, but when I click, nothing happens. Went to the Network Diagnostics and did the same thing - same result.  Guess the airport card is shot.  Nothing else to try?

    Thank you, Mary

  • Remote Desktop has stopped working suddenly Premium Ultimate

    I used to be able to remote desktop to my laptop with Vista Home Premium on my desktop with Vista Ultimate. All of a sudden, it stopped working (March 09). I tried many steps of troubleshooting without success and I searched and searched online with no resolution. Help! I examined even the laptop to ultimate upgrade, but I seriously doubt that would correct the problem, since I should be able to remote desktop ON the ultimate machine (not in it, of course) and did so successfully for over a year... so far. I don't know what changed between yesterday and today, with the exception of Windows updates. No other software or hardware has been installed. The laptop has wireless and it works very well - I can access the Internet and the network with no problems at all.

    Steps, I have taken/other info: (not necessarily in order - just write them as they come to me)
    1) reset all the workstations and the router (I have a 3rd computer which has XP also).
    (2) checked to make sure port 3389 is open on my router 2 and in the firewall (McAfee). Within McAfee, do ensure that the remote desktop program and service were allowed, both directions and on all the workstations. Also controlled canyouseeme.org to ensure that port 3389 is indeed open and he succeeded.
    (3) connection I tried with the firewall disabled on two workstations and always without success.
    (4) Made sure that on the host, the remote settings have been enabled and all users can connect, using any version of Windows. Also tried unchecking, reset and rechecked.
    (5) the user accounts on all workstations are directors.
    (6) the fact that the Terminal Server service has been started on the host. Tried them stopping and restarting.
    (7) tried ping - success in all directions by the two IP address and computer name.
    (8) network resources are available in all directions - I can see and access files shared all around.
    (9) installed all the Windows updates available. Reloaded later.
    (10) remote desktop from the laptop to the machine off XP is successful. Ultimate machine to XP is successful. From XP to ultimate is successful. The only one who does not work (and it's an important) is from the laptop to the machine by excellence. Argh!
    (11) even tried to restore the laptop provided the factory (tested - didn't work) and then through all Windows updates (test I went - never able to operate).
    (12) fact that Windows Firewall has been disabled on all workstations.
    (13) fact that network discovery, file sharing and public folder sharing is turned on.
    (14) RDP I tried with the name of the computer with the IP address.
    What Miss me? The only thing I can think is that somehow one of Windows Update caused this problem, but my research online for someone else knows this at the same time me are coming short. So I'm completely confused and frustrated!
    Thanks for reading my post, and I'd appreciate any help.

    I didn't need to post on the technet forum, because I have solved the problem. I decided to bite the bullet and just give my idea to try and hope for the best (created a first system restore point). The solution was so freakin ' easy... wonder why I couldn't find all the details on how to do...?

    In any case; On the ultimate box (the one I am trying to remote desktop in), I opened the management console (mmc.exe) and add the Certificates snap, for the computer account, computer local. Double click on certificates, double click on the desktop folder remotely, double click on the Certificates folder and highlighted the certificate (there was only one, with the name of the computer as the title) and removed (first of all, I copied and put it in another folder, just in case where).

    This solves completely the whole issue and workaround is no longer necessary.

    I hope this helps someone else.
