No wireless - Satellite L500-131

Hello everyone. I have a problem with my laptop, a Toshiba Satellite L500-131. It is supposed to connect to my router via a Repeater (Edimax Wireless 802.11n Access Point). The only way I found so that it can work is to disconnect the Repeater and the router, wait 10 seconds, plug the router, then the Repeater.

I know that this is not a router problem, because I can get a wireless connection on my other laptop. The Repeater picks up the signal, but the Toshiba laptop is not just automatically connect. It worked right after that I installed the Repeater, but since then it works.

I heard that microwaves or cordless phones can ruin the signal. Is it possible for a radio to do this?
I tried to find a solution online, but it only seems to be a lot of people with a similar setup.

Thanks for the replies!

Hi Carangil,

What happens if you try to establish a WLAN connection without Repeater?
Make sure also that WLAN router and Repeater using the latest version of the firmware that you find on the Toshiba site.

Also, try also updating the driver WLAN. From Toshiba Web site will give you the most recent version:

Another interesting thing: is your router and the repetition of the same production? I also had a similar problem and the reason for the different manufacturers, they are not compatible set.

  • Satellite L500-131 - it can boot from eSATA?

    Hello

    I want to buy a Toshiba Satellite L500-131, but first I want to know information about the BIOS of the L500.

    In the BIOS you have a choice to boot on the eSATA/player device?

    Thank you for your answer

    Excuse me for my bad English

    Nice day

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that you cannot boot from the external HARD drive.
    Before buy you, you can also talk with your local dealer about this.

  • Satellite L500-131, an HDMI output to the audio amplifier

    Hello

    I can't the sound of my Satellite L500-131 HDMI port to my Pioneer amp supposed to be designed to manage these tings...

    Think the problem is in the early stages as I * don't * select "Realtek HDMI output" as default + output + option is not available.
    Playing around, I managed to get to an old Microsoft driver hidden in memory somewhere and could select HDMI output 'default' through the laptop speakers. But ultimately this ddn can't get sound through either, well that the volume to "sound board" control of Vista indicates activity signal (bars during playback of DVD)... :|

    No idea what is the problem? By selecting "Output HDMI" audio output by default seems to be a Solver for everyone, but it's the only option that is not left in me, so frustrating... :|

    Thank you very much for any help provided.

    Hello

    To be honest I often use HDMI connection on my laptop but I never had any problems with this connection. Everything is working properly and even I checked again all works well!

    Anyway, in your case, I'll try reinstalling the audio driver. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

    If you use the HDMI connection, connect the cable first. Then turn on your TV or your amplifier and finally the laptop.
    Check it!

  • Questions on Satellite L500 - 19 X wireless

    Hey all,.

    Big problem with wireless on my Satellite L500 - 19 X and have no idea how to fix this. I am currently connected to the internet via an ethernet cable, and it is far from ideal.

    Basically the wireless seems to have disappeared! I had the laptop for a few weeks and it connected to my wireless network automatically and without problems.

    I turned on the laptop today, and there is no trace of her at all. I checked the HW configuration utility section and it says that the wireless switch is on. I tried to press FN and F8 to turn it on, but nothing happens.

    If anyone has any help, I would be very grateful because I do not know what step to take next and it's extremely frustrating in a laptop brand new.

    Thank you all.

    Hi grimaldo,.

    I also have no idea how you can solve this problem, certain important information because I can t find in your ad, e. g. OS, driver version, etc.
    You can add this information, please?

    At the moment I can only suggest that you need to update the driver. Just check the Toshiba WLAN portal to find a new version:

  • Satellite L500-128 - slow connection to wireless network

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite L500-128.

    After I installed Windows 7 Ultimate, my laptop is very very slow at startup. He hangs on to my wireless network connection or non - wireless (no matter whether I am connected to a cable). At this point, Windows has already started, but has not loaded al my applications yet. After 1.5 minutes or so when it is connected to my network (or has decided that he cannot connect because I'm not connected to a network), it continues and all is well.

    I already installed the latest network drivers. I have a Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller and an Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN.

    Is there anyone who has this problem and fixed it?

    Hello

    I had a similar problem on Windows XP... The problem is that I used my router DHCP service it takes up to 1 minute I could use the laptop. I searched a bit here in the forum and I tried to use static IP addresses instead of DHCP from my router service: the problem has been resolved! :)

    Please try static IP addresses and update the firmware on your router!

  • Satellite L500 - lost wireless connection

    My Satellite L500 recently lost the wireless connection. I looked towards the top of the Realtek wireless device in Device Manager and it says that the device is functioning properly. I tried to use "ping 192.168.1.1" join the router, and I get "error Transmit - general failure."

    Any ideas?

    Hey Buddy,

    And now Windows recognize some WIFI networks at your fingertips? Your validation lost wireless connection isn't very useful

    You should try a WLAN driver update that you can download from the official page of Toshiba:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    If you can't find or connect to WLAN networks deactivate in the Windows of the WLAN power save mode power profiles. You will need to set for maximum performance.

  • Satellite L500 - signal without wire WIRELESS fall - try this!

    I just wanted to post that I recently had an ongoing problem with MOM having its wireless signal fall from his Satellite L500, but I since found the very simple solution and wish that there was a post on the forum picked up by Google like that!

    It runs under Windows 7, but basically, I didn't know that power modes - high performance, balanced etc done (in the laptop) network card and router. My mother constantly had his laptop on the management of balanced diet plan and that means that the router was actually said to go into a power saving mode. A bit of a pleb I.T., it took me a few hours to understand, but the link to the Microsoft Support here it covers without me procrastination on - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928152

    In short, I made this option on the link-

    Method 2: Modify the default power saving power plan
    Change the power setting on default battery for the wireless network adapter. Configure the wireless network adapter to use the maximum performance setting when Windows Vista or Windows 7 is configured to use the balanced power plan or the power saver Power plan. To do this, follow these steps:
    Click Start, type Power Options in the start search box, and then click Power Options in the list programs.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    Click on change settings for the plan under the management of the diet that is selected. For example, if the balance is selected, click on change settings under balanced plan.
    * Click on Change advanced power settings.*
    * In the Power Options dialog box, expand wireless adapter settings and then Power Saving Mode.*
    * In the list that appears next to a pile, click performance, and then click OK *.

    There are others who will do the same and may work better for some people, for example just to return to the power option high performance, as, if it isn't already. maximum performance for the adapter wireless network is normally by default for this.

    I hope this helps someone!

    See you soon

  • Satellite L500 - wireless connection is very slow

    Hey all,.

    I have problems with my toshiba satellite L500 wireless very slow. I restored the computer back to factory settings, reset the router and do not know what to do. The only way that I am able to achieve and increase speed of internet is by connecting the laptop to the router.

    There are 3 other laptops in the House which is the same model, this laptop runs very fast. My router is a Thomson TG782T.

    Thank you

    Hello

    First, I would try to update the WLAN driver. Download the latest version on the Toshiba site and then delete the old version. Reboot the laptop and use CCleaner to clean the system. Restart again and now you can install the latest WLAN driver.

    I put t know what operating system you have, but on Vista and Windows 7, you must disable the WLAN energy saving function. You can do this in Windows power management if you change power management.

    I had a similar problem and after removing the energy saving function, it worked fast and normal as on other laptops. :)

  • Wireless does not work on Satellite L500

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L500 1XZ and my wireless stop working. None before the light is led. BIOS of wireless communication settings is on. In Device Manager it seems to set up correctly with no errors.

    I change Windows 7 Ultimate and professional and the same thing happens. Yesterday, I used the wireless on Win7 Ultimate and now it stopped working.
    Any idea?

    Thank you

    > FN + 8 button does not work, either
    Does that mean exactly?
    Can you choose between ON and OFF option WLAN Card?

    If the WLAN led is off it means that this WLAN adapter is not enabled.

    What model of laptop you have exactly (L500-xxx)?
    What WLAN card is inside?
    Have you installed the latest driver?

  • Satellite L500 - wireless network adapter disappeared

    Satellite L500 model PSLS0A-084002.

    Wireless network adapter is not listed under network adapters in the devices menu. FN does not display the wireless tab. There is no off / switch for the wireless on this laptop model. In the BIOS, the wireless LAN is selected ON.

    Switch OFF wireless and then re-start and then plug the wireless, and then re-bots don't find out the wireless adapter.

    Other messages suggest the update of the BIOS. Running version 1.9. ersion 2.1 is available. When I try to run the update: code error-144. BIOS is not flashable.

    Clues please?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Colin9999,

    Before you start with the update of the BIOS, you should try to install the latest driver WLAN you can get on the official website of Toshiba. It seems that you have an Australian model laptop to check the Australian page here:
    www.MyToshiba.com.au > Support > downloads

    After installing the latest driver WLAN check the status again.

    BIOS update error could be related to missing value added package. Have you installed this tool from Toshiba?
    Run the update as an administrator?

  • Satellite L500 - 1WG PSLS0E - impossible to reconnect wireless

    * Computer info: *.
    Satellite L500-1WG - Partnummer: PSLS0E-07502EN5

    Windows 7 Home Premium

    The drivers are up to date:
    -Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter version - date driver 21.06.2006 - 6.1.7600.16385
    -Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC - 30.07.2010 driver date version - 2017.2.730.2010
    -Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller - 23.06.2010 - version 7.23.623.2010 driver date
    I disabled the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" for all 3 of them.

    * Problem: *.
    When I start the pc, it connects to my wireless router as usual, but then after that 30-60 minutes it stops working. He always finds the wireless router and the signal is excellent (4-5 bars), but when I try to connect it gives me the error message that it is impossible to connect to my router.

    If I restart the PC, it is always impossible to connect.

    But if I turn the computer completely off and leave it for a while, it works when I start it again, which suggests that he may need to cool (we noticed that the computer is warm enough, and that the fan is spinning a lot... but that could have been the same before - just that we it has not noticed that it was not a problem)

    ... But if I only it hibernates and let it cool for a while, it does not work to reconnect when I start again.

    I did a test earlier: I started the computer and made sure the wireless connected - then I put into hibernation and he did it again, and after that, he was still unable to connect. Then I stopped had and turned on the right now - and then it works fine.

    It's the same question at the local library, but my in-laws it worked fine for 2-3 hours the other day.

    My other pc that runs on Ubuntu, works without problems on our wireless.

    Any ideas?
    -Is it a virus?
    - Or my card network is not able to take the heat (material)?
    - Or is this a bug of Windows/driver (software)?

    I plan to reinstall windows, but before crossing with whom I was wondering if it's worth the hassle... Is it a hardware error, and should I just go directly to the seller?

    What you can try is updated the BIOS. Latest version is installed on your laptop?

    Another question: where you find WLAN driver version 2017.2.730.2010?
    Toshiba's latest version 2015.1.0427.2010?

  • Satellite L500-1WG - how to use the modem internal?

    I am new to computers and laptops and that you just bought the Toshiba Satellite L500-1WG. I was told, in the shop, he has an internal modem?

    What should I do to activiate/get connected to the internet? Do I need an external modem wired or wireless as well? No difficult language or abbreviations please, I am a total novice with very limited on this subject knowledge. Have only to learn how to start and run the basic set up.

    HEY buddy,

    > Told me, in the shop, he has an internal modem?
    It seems that this shop doesn't know what they are selling or they wanted kid a small round little

    It turns out satellite L500 is not equipped with modem and it doesn t have a modem (RJ12) port.

    So if you want to use the modem connection, you must purchase an external. But for now he s not advised to use a modem, the majority of the pages are not designed for modem more.

  • Satellite L500 connection ok but no Internet after upgrade to Windows 7

    Hello
    I just upgraded my Satellite L500 to Windows 7 everything is fine except that I have no internet access. I have a strong connection to my wireless home network and can connect to other wireless devices to the network ok. I also tried to connect using cable, but I have the same problem - connected but no internet access.

    I ran ConfigFree utility and it does not find a problem. I ran the troubleshooter in Windows and it is unable to solve the problem but tells me that the wireless network doesn't have a valid IP configuration.

    I have reset the modem and the router, without effect.

    I checked all the drivers and BIOS are the latest versions.

    I tried to enter an IP address manually rather than get an automatically. Still no luck.

    Any ideas I can try? I hope someone can help.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    For me it sounds like that the problem is the router, and not the laptop because you wrote that with cable connected even happens on WLAN connection.

    If you go into the menu of the router, what is the status of the internet connection? Your router has a connection or not?
