No Wifi Iconia W500 with windows 10

Hello

I upgraded my Acer Iconia W500 from Windows 7 to Windows 10 own factory.  I made sure that I have ALL the updates from Microsoft.  Everything works great EXCEPT that I can't get Wifi to turn on.  The button to activate the Wi - Fi is grayed out. Airplane mode is NOT on.  If I go to the network settings, the slider for Wi - Fi is disabled and when I pass it on it just turns right back to the off position.  I've updated the driver Wifi for the latest driver, I could find which is Qualcomm Athereros Communications 3.0.2.181 with a driver date 12/03/2015.  I tried uninstalling the driver and the device several times and allow Windows to find the adapter again.  Whenever he recognizes the right device and installs the driver.  I even looked in the bios to see if the wireless adapter has been disabled, but it is not yet a Wifi option in there.  I tried to uncheck the 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"option in the properties of the adapter, but it doesn't help.  I don't see any errors in the event viewer (or anywhere else).  I can use the LAN adapter very well, but it doesn't make it very portable if I can't use Wifi.  Someone at - it ideas?

Thanks for your help!

Hey there! Recently, I had this same problem on my Acer One 10 series. I've been frustrated with it for about two weeks! What had to happen, it is that the driver used to connect to wireless networks do not automatically update to a version compatible with Windows 10. In order to download the correct version, the only answers that I could find were to go to the manufacturers Web site and download a driver from there. The problem is that you can't really do that as easily without wifi.

What I suggest, is to use another computer to go to the Acer site. Click on the tab "store". Then choose your country. On the next page, scroll down to the bottom, under 'support', there is a link that says "driver downloads".

From there, enter or search for your model. Once you have selected your model, below there will be a list of driver downloads, you might need. The one you want is 'Wireless LAN'

Another computer, this download to a flash drive, then download it from the flash drive on the device with the questions. Make sure it is in a real folder, so it does not disappear when you exit the flash drive (obviously).

Once downloaded, go to the start menu and select settings. Click Update and security, and then resumed. Click restart now under "advanced startup." it will make something akin to restart, do not touch anything until it gives you the option to select "Troubleshoot".

Once you have selected troubleshoot, select 'advanced options', select 'Start settings' then 'restart', it will then take you to a list of options, select the option to disable the signature of driver backup.

Once you have selected, your device should restart. Once he does, the new driver update should be tactful and you should be able to access the internet.

It took me two weeks to understand this, all this, but the process that I wrote for you probably takes less than an hour and it actually worked.

I know that it is a batch, but it worked for me, and I hope it works for you! Good luck!

    This solution should help you.

    Basically, you need to Option 1 and 2 or Option 1 and 3.

    Option 1: Disable virtualization for directed-IO (VT - d). This can be done in the BIOS Setup utility. When the system is first start (during POST), press F1 to enter the Setup utility. Then enter the Config menu and the submenu of the CPU. Changing VT - d for persons with reduced mobility.

     

    Option 2: Make sure that there is only a single memory DIMM in the system.

     

    Option 3: Make sure the memory of two DIMMs in the system are of equal size. For example, both are 2GB.

  • Problem syncing via wifi palm tx with windows xp pro

    I had my palm tx for a couple of years and had no trouble to sync to my xp pro machine until today. I just got a new wifi-router/modem dsl from embarq (it's a ZyXEL P - 660 H - D1). I had no problem with my old wifi-router/modem dsl (D-Link DSL-G604T). They are two: 802. 11b / g I activated b and g on the new router.

    The Palm TX connects to the new router with wpa and I can surf to display web pages.  However, he doesn't "see" my office on the network. I made no changes to the my office network configurations. (The desktop is visible on the network when I use my lapto). I checked all the settings in my palm tx and my desktop hotsync Manager. I tried to connect with the IP address of the desktop computer in the Palm, but nothing works.  Can anyone think any configuration in the router that I could change to fix this?

    FYI I can synchronize using the cable, but I really prefer to use wifi for synchronization.

    Thanks for any help you can give. (I'm new to this community, sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I searched and could not find an answer.)

    Message relates to: Palm TX

    Hello darthemma, welcome to the Palm support community!

    It seems that you have the correct settings.  I can only suggest you do 'Static IP' for computer and TX in your router.  Who will assign the same IP address to each device at all times.

    Here is my standard "Wifi Hotsync" help file.  I hope that helps!

    WiFi HotSync with a TX

    1. on your PC, locate the Manager HotSync (small HotSync icon in the lower tray of the right tool on a Winbox). Click top and check 'Network', then click again and select Setup.

    2. choose the network at the top tab in the window that opens and locate your HotSync name in the list. Make sure it is checked.

    3. press the button of TCP/IP and look for the IP listed for "main PC address. Write it down.

    4. turn on the Wifi on your Palm and you connect to your router.

    5. on your Palm, select the HotSync program and press the word "Network" over the HotSync icon in the middle of the screen. Below, enter the IP address that you noted in step 3. (Include periods!).

    6. tap the HotSync icon big above the IP address and hang in there!

    7. If you stand and nothing happens try a HotSync cable, then retry the HotSync Wifi. Sometimes, information is to be transferred from your PC once you check the network option. Also, don't forget to watch for any activity of firewall ask you questions about "HotSync.exe tries to access your hard drive" etc. You may need to define a rule to allow him to.

    Have you checked if the WLan switch on the side of the laptop is on? This switch activates and deactivates the WLan led. If this is not enough, I guess that there is a hardware problem. Perhaps some loose contacts, for example.
    This can be corrected with any software update, I think that the technician should take a look in the notebook and should check this

    _*@chris4o*_
    First of all it s very strange that your laptop has not delivered with any Windows operating system! Each new Toshiba notebook was shipped with the Windows operating system and the image of Toshiba should be already preinstalled.
    In addition, you should find the Toshiba Recovery CD in the package. This CD contains all the drivers Toshiba, tools, Windows OS and additional software!

    With regard to the pixel dead;
    Usually the internal laptop display can be replaced if a large amount of dead pixels would be displayed on the screen. There is an exactly information about replacing the screen.

    Please check this:
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB5400ZD0002R01.htm

    In any case, I recommend you really clarify this two issues from your laptop dealer! The laptop must have the OS!

  • No wifi connection with Windows 8.1 on Lenovo Flex 2-14

    I have a new Lenovo Flex 2-14 with Windows 8.1 about this yesterday, but I can't connect to my wifi network. In the status bar, there are always Red Cross (not the yellow symbol) and no network is all.

    I read that many users know this, so I tried several drivers but none of them works. I have tried the one preinstalled on the D drive, the most recent on the Lenovo site and also some that I found via Google when I searched my wifi adapter (this is a Realtek RTL8723BE). But as I said, no driver does.

    Does anyone have an idea what I could do? This is a brand new laptop, so I didn't change any settings.

    Thank you!


  • Iconia w500 reset stuck at "Create an account for this PC" during windows install only mouse works

    I have the Acer Iconia W500 we have upgraded to Windows 10.  Due to the assumption of updated driver, I decided to reset the tablet.  I have reset the system without discs and then installing Windows, that the computer is blocked "create an account for this PC' because the USB mouse works.  I discovered that the touch screen and a keyboard are unusable during this process so I plugged a USB mouse that works very well.  But installing requires that I type a user name, and it won't let me skip this step.  Without keyboard or touch screen, I am unable to enter a user name in the field.  Thank you for your suggestions.

    Plug a keyboard instead of a mouse, you can tab between fields to be able to live without the mouse. If you do not have a practical USB keyboard, check the local thrift stores. They are generally very cheap there...

  • Iconia W510 is not compatible with Windows 10

    My 64 GB Iconia W510 runs all the latest drivers and updates available from Acer and Microsoft.

    I have the app get 10 Windows in the taskbar and planned to upgrade. When I check the compatibility of Windows 10 within the app, it says that my PC cannot install Windows 10. It says "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator - display will not work.

    Other users Iconia W510 know the same and what is Acer boards?

    After I started this topic I received an automated e-mail to the Board asking if she has not resolved since I got a lot of responses. No, it wasn't - but it is now.

    I applied all updates from Windows Update and now the app get Windows 10 says my W510 Iconia is compatible. Update problem solved. I am aware that there is still certainly a lot of things that need to be corrected with Windows 10, but the specific problem on this issue has been resolved.

    I thank all those who contributed and repost the link to ACE padgett for his answer to how to change the driver once the upgrade to Windows 10 is done:

  • Problems with Windows 10 wifi

    I have a new Dell Inspiron 3650 i5 preloaded with Windows 10 (which I love).

    However, following a recent Wifi update keeps fading, disappearing all together and when the desktop is enabled it regularly unable to connect at all and can not find Wifi networks to connect to everything. If I let it run it ends by connects, but again fades to make internet surfing erratic and e-mail downloads of locking frequently. I know that is not the Wifi router because I have my old trusty Dell Inspiron laptop with Windows 7, sitting on the desk next to the office and its Wifi connection is absolutely beautiful and strong. I tried to uncheck the option as stated on some forums Windows 10 power saver but it makes no difference. I also noticed that my Google link no longer works (away from leading edge because I couldn't stand the ads / news feed.) Can someone help me as W10 came with the system Dell must be aware of the problem?

    Open Device Manager, and then double-click the entry for your wireless card. Then click on the tab to acheck power management the box "allow the PC turns off... »

    Then, open plan Windows Power options screen. Select the plan of the power currently in use, and then click the link to change its settings. In the next screen, click Advanced options.

    Find the WiFi options in the list on the left and make sure that it is set to Max performance.  Save the change in power management and reboot. See if that helps.

    If the problem persists, you may go back to feeding and management on advanced under PCI Express settings screen, disable the link state power management.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium Wifi grey symbol with a star yellow but fully connected to the internet.

    Windows 7 Home Premium Wifi grey symbol with a star yellow but fully connected to the internet.

    Have been able to fix it by uninstalling the driver wireless and re - install, but when the system is restarted it then returns to the same problem.  Tried to remove the data of the registry key 'TrayNotify' windows and stopping the same tried to remove "explorer.exe" and replace "explorer.exe".. even goes back to the same problem.

    It is likely that your computer sees and is seen by your router.  Gold Star means that it is connected, but the router will not assign an IP address to access the Internet.

    This is usually caused by a code password incorrectly stored (on your computer).

    Click on this icon.  Find your network.  Remove it from the list.  Now, after a small wait, click this icon again.  It should detect your network and ask for the password.  If you have entered the right code, it should connect you.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem, then it is likely that you would have a problem with your router - it might be inside a separate device or your modem.

    A restart of the modem and router can help.  Pull the plug on the modem and the router.  Wait 30 seconds.  Put the plug in the modem only.  Wait 30 seconds.  Put the plug in the router.  Wait 2 minutes.  If she can still connect, try re-booting the computer.
