Pavilion dv7-7205tx envy windows 8 wireless connectivity

A first tried the sticky post and when trying to update the drivers available via this link, windows 8 still sees the current drivers as the most up-to-date.

There is no info on this laptop on HP site so I can't update all the drivers myself right now, so if someone can tell me the right drivers who can fix a problem with the Atheros QCA9565 wireless I would appreciate it.

Using Windows 8, fine internet connection via ethernet to Dlink Di526 (oldschool Yes..)

2 other pc Windows 7 have thin connection to the wireless router

Phone selects picks up wireless and connects very well

Try wireless on HP and it detects the network but can connect only with limited connectivity, no internet.

Driver for Atheros is 10.0.0.77 dated dated 15/08/2012, and I tried the 10.0.0.212 in date driver dated 28/09/2012 with the same result.

I think that its a problem with the Atheros with Windows 8 compatibility.

Anyone else has a similar problem?

Have you tried the driver found here to your support portal for portable computers on the web page of drivers and applications?

The driver is for Windows 8 (32 & 64-bit)

  • Pavilion dv7-4180: upgrade Windows 7 to 8

    Hi all

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-4180 using Windows 7.  I bought a Windows 8 of Microsoft and the Bill says:

    "Earn 8 32-bit/64-bit English VUP DVD."

    Online Microsoft provides this statement (quoted):

    «Download and install Windows 8.1 to Windows 7»
    1. sign in to your Microsoft account
    2. in the menu of left, click downloads, subscriptions and product key
    3. find your purchase Windows 8.1, and then click Download
    4. If a dialog box appears, click Run to start the installation
    5 follow the instructions in the installation wizard to complete the installation of Windows 8.1 "

    Before thiis upgrade, is there advice that I should follow to avoid an honest mistake?  For example, losing a feature because of the upgrade?

    Thanks for your comments.

    Very practical advice.  Device Manager to see 'pilot' listed, or should I navigate on the control panel?

    Thank you.

    You can do this and see if there are drivers that manufacturing has to W8 for that specific material. But you should check the site driver from HP for your P/N and see whether they have or W8 drivers list. Don't forget the older laptop after 2012, the chances of HP with W8 drivers will be slim to none since they do not include support for older hardware.

    Hello

    Please help me find the driver for BCM20702A0 for hp pavilion dv7-4285dx for windows 7.

    I'm going to each site, trying to find a driver for BCM20702A0 because I tried to install a 4 (badge) bluetooth dongle on my laptop but it says 'impossible to update software' when I try to run the installer from the manufacturer's website. Then, I go to devices and printers and try to solve the problem with the bluetooth dongle and it says "BCM20702A0 is not a driver" I tried to download broadcom and updated centrino HP network driver for my laptop page up-to-date, but that does not solve the problem. All these other drivers that I find are for other computers laptops and even still, I can't navigate to links posted on this site, it brings me right back to the search page.

    Hello @adityarai82,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I read your post about the WiFi problem and wanted to help you!  I understand that you have tried the troubleshooting steps a lot already, without success.

    Try to review these steps, offered by community member @Great-Christine-Tree:

    First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:
    Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access

    A second option is to try the following steps:
    Powercycle the network:
    1. turn off your laptop.
    2. unplug the power to your router.
    3. disconnect the power to your modem.
    4. wait at least 45 seconds.
    5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
    6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
    7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.

    Turn off the power to the adapter:
    1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. expand the network adapters.
    3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
    4. click on the power management tab.
    5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. click on OK.
    7 test cycle.

    Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    Reinstall the NIC drivers:
    1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
    2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
    3. expand network adapters.
    4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
    5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
    6. restart your PC and test.

    Test an ethernet connection:
    Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.

    Test another connection:
    Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.

    If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down list in the upper right of the document.

    Source: fixes Common for wireless connectivity problems.

    Hello

    10 Windows Update crashes after 87%, so I have to turn off the laptop and the system becomes always restored to Windows 7.

    Is there someone who has improved the Pavilion DV7-4150 to 10 Windows? How?

    I installed all the updates with the HP Support Assistant HP and all Windows 7 updates I can get. I have the most recent BIOS F.29, but also the BIOS F.12 F.13 and F.23 do not work with Windows 10.

    In my view, the problem is the old BIOS HP. Is it a BIOS compatible for HP Pavilion DV7-4150 get worked with Windows 10?

    Please HP, is a big job for you, please deliver us a new BIOS for Windows 10 job!

    Thank you, always HP - Fan.

    Allways_HP_Fan

    Sorry, but HP has shown no sign that it grows some BIOS updates for older machines.  I have a HP DV6 and the update in 2011.

    I came across similar problems with my HP DV6 - it would always block partially through the update, and then I do a factory reset to get it working again.

    What DOES not work for me has been an own-made from a USB key, created installation using the latest version of Win10 obtained by using the tool of creation of MS Media: 10 Windows Installer by using the tool of creation of media - Windows help

    However, BEFORE that, be sure to read this thread on greating the genuineticket file, because you will need to activate Win10 after installation: Clean install Windows 10 directly without having to first upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

    Good luck

  • HP Pavilion dv7 3180SG - drivers Windows XP.

    Hi all

    I have some difficulty to install the drivers for this laptop.
    I have a mechanical arm via the USB port, who informed me the (British) constructor that works only on Windows XP.
    I just have this laptop here, really need to use and to install Windows XP, update the SATA via Nlite drivers found here in this forum.
    I find just the network driver, which for me was a relief, just that there are still many riders and not sure of compatibility with Windows XP 3180SG.
    Could you help me, as has been done in the same post? http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-e-g-Windows-8-and-software/HP-Pavilion-dv7-1...

    Thank you

    Leonardo.

    Hi, Leonardo:

    Professional HP laptop nearby with the same or similar material that yours is the 8440p.

    You can try the XP drivers.

    First install the chipset drivers and reboot.

    http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=4095873&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3Didx%253D%257CswItem%253Dob_83120_1%257CswEnvOID%253D1093%257CitemLocale%253D%257CswLang%253D%257Cmode%253D%257Caction%253DdriverDocument&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

    Then, install the graphics driver and reboot:

    For audio, you must first install the driver UAA MS, then the audio driver.

    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/leavinghp?url=ftp%3A%2F%2Fftp.compaq.com%2Fpub%2Fsoftpaq%2Fsp32501-33000%2Fsp32646.exe&desc=ftp%3A%2F%2Fftp.compaq.com%2Fpub%2Fsoftpaq%2Fsp32501-33000%2Fsp32646.exe&lc=en&cc=us

  • How can I make best use of Windows XP wireless connect?

    This may seem Basic, but I want to understand all aspects of the configuration of my PC of course. As long as I connected to the wireless Web, I used a software provided by Netgear, that makes the wireless adapter. When I moved into an apartment, the ISP technology who set up my wireless modem could not get Netgear to "discuss" the modem, so he opted for the default Windows software. I'm not real surprised because Netgear has always been a little bug. However, I know the zip on the Windows login. Is it as simple as right-clicking on the icon in the status bar system and by taking my selection of disable, status, repair, view available wireless networks, change the settings of Windows Firewall or open network connections? Are there additional features? Y at - it online a tutorial on the use of Windows for my wireless Internet connection?

  • Windows 7 wireless connection problem

    I just bought a brand new Alienware m17x and all drivers are up to date... .IM with broadcom wireless network adapter. The strange thing is that last night I was on the internet for several hours without any problem using the wireless, but this morning iwas unable to use my wireless internet access. This has happened several times now. Sometimes it says "not connected - no available connections" and sometimes he says "not connected connections are available" when she says, links, I try to connect to the network, but it says "unable to connect to the network. The only time wherever I was able to connect to wireless internet, was when my computer is automatically connected to my wireless network without me having to select the network and attempt to connect. I read things about windows 7, with a mode of "sleeper" for wireless connections or something, and that can be the cause of it and that it is better to turn off or downgrade to xp. I am really frustrated because I am not able to connect wirelessly and I hope you guys can help me find a solution.

     

    Guide to correctly troubleshoot wireless M17x
    with Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card
    by Glzmo

    Since many new Alienware M17x all powerful users, especially those who use Windows 7 as operating system there are various problems with their Wi - Fi connection and post threads asking how their difficulty over and over again, I decided to write this guide to show them how to solve these issues properly Commons. The solutions in this guide were created and designed for 64-bit Windows 7, but they may also work in Windows Vista, although these problems were experienced by users of Windows 7 mainly in the past. It could very well be that the problems start occurring in Vista as well with the new drivers and Windows updates.

    I. may not connect to the wireless network and or see the wireless adapter when the Ethernet cable is disconnected
    If you sometimes or always unable to connect to the wireless network, cannot connect to the wireless network when the Ethernet cable is disconnected, unable to connect to a wireless network unless you restart once to get this work and other weird problems to be unable to connect to a wireless network continue with section II. Otherwise, continue with section II..

    Sleep of a.i. Disable on disconnect device
    Some new Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a function called sleep device to disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the card Ethernet to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it is buggy and thus kill the wireless connection as well.
    Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Ethernet Nvidia card:

    1. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
    2 double-click network adapters.
    3 double click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (Yes, that's indeed wired Ethernet adapter).
    4 click on the Advanced tab.
    5 select sleep on disconnect device.
    6 set the value to disabled.
    7 click OK and wireless should work again (may require a reboot later, but probably not).

    I.b. install different drivers (older) who do not have the device sleeping on disconnect feature.
    The above does not work or if you are not comfortable with these drivers, follow these steps (if step A.i. was successful, you will not need to follow these steps). Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding:
    1. click the Windows Start button in the taskbar.
    2 click on Control Panel.
    3 click on uninstall a program.
    4 in the list, double-click Nvidia drivers.
    5. Mark Remove only the following.
    6 in the box below, only check the Nvidia Network driver.
    7 click Remove and follow the uninstall instructions.
    8 restart the system, if you are prompted to.
    9 download another (older) driver from Nvidia.
    10 install the old driver.
    11 when asked what drivers you want to install, select only the network driver.
    12 follow the installation instructions and restart your system if prompted.

    II. Low or fluctuating wireless connection speeds
    If you have problems with WiFi low connection speeds (such as rates decline over time, the speeds are much lower than they should be, network lag/stutter in online games, loss of light packets, loss of internet connection as LAN works and other weird things) or speeds of fluctuating wildly without apparent reason wireless connection install the version of the Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8 drivers instead of the standard Broadcom drivers. All older drivers will usually cause the speed of connection under normal. Note, however, that you may need to install the driver manually via Device Manager as the pilot was not released for another laptop and is not officially available to the M17x yet - that's why the installer won't work. Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding.
    Here is a step by step how manually install the driver:

    1. download the drivers Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8.
    2 check out the R29128.exe file using an extraction utility like WinRAR or just run it and quit the installation program.
    3. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
    4 double-click network adapters.
    5 double-click the Broadcom 802.11n network adapter entry.
    6 click on the driver tab.
    7 click the button Update driver .
    8 click Browse my computer for driver software.
    9 click on Let me take form a list of drivers for devices on my computer.
    10 click the disk provided .
    11 click Browse.
    12. select the folder that you extracted the drivers you just downloaded in step 1. in.
    13 select the subfolder DRIVER_US (if you are in the United States), DRIVER_JP (if you are in the Japan) or DRIVER_ROW (if you are in the rest of the world), according to the region you are in.
    14 click on the Open button.
    15 click OK.
    16 select the driver that says Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card of the list (you may have to scroll down to see - it presents itself as second to the last in the list for me).
    17 click on the Next button.
    18 you will get a warning that the driver that you are about to install is not compatible with your hardware. Ignore the warning and proceed with the driver installation.
    19 restart your system if prompted to do so.
    20 your new driver should now be properly installed and the speed of your wireless connection in the order.

    III. If all else fails (or you've just had enough of boredom arising from the Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card)
    Replace the Dell Wireless 1510 problem with a card half-mini Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 A/G/N (use the bluetooth as the third antenna antenna or buy you an additional antenna for this). It works very well with the M17x, has better connection speeds to strips of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (this last has speeds really bad on the Broadcom/1510), it has not required to jump through the hoops to make it work properly and much more, it works with standard drivers and Intel maintains their drivers up to date. It is also much more reliable and faster as well, especially on the 5 GHz band, but also on the 2.4 GHz band.

    For more information on the subject of tweaking the settings of your Dell Wireless card, check out the official setting advanced properties: Dell Wireless WLAN Card User Guide.

  • Problem of DNS in Windows 7 wireless connection

    New computer laptop gateway with Windows 7 was to connect to the internet for a month, until a few days ago, when I started to lose the wireless connection often. The only solution was to wait that it will eventually reconnect again. Other computers are connecting wireless with no problems. I get a message that it is a problem of DNS server. He usually tells me that I am connected to the wireless but the connection between the router and the internet is broken. Wired works fine. Suggestions?

    You can follow the steps below to check the NIC in Device Manager.
    You can check if you have any exclamation point beside the devices listed. If you have, then there is problem with the card is installed.
    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the NIC drivers and check:

    b. click system and Maintenance, click Systemand then click on Device Manager.
    Note If Control Panel is in Classic view, double-click System, and then click Device Manager.

    c. in the NIC, expand adapter, right click on the devices listed and then click Uninstall.

  • Windows 8 wireless connection problem

    I just bought a new laptop with Windows 8 and half an hour to put on, I lose network connectivity wireless on all devices in my home, new laptop, iphone, ipad, galaxy tablet.  The ipad, the iphone, and the Tablet first in loose connectivity followed by the laptop.  As soon as I turn off the phone followed by the router (BT homehub 1 I think), connectivity is restored on the ipad, iphone and tablet.  When I turn on the laptop back, connection is restored there too but not for long.  I checked the router and all the lights are lit and not flickering.  I ran the Windows diagnosis and this is the result «a network cable is not plugged in correctly or may be broken...» Detected (there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it which I assume means not fixed...) Problem with access point or wireless adapter... Fixed).  I checked all the cables and they look very good.  BT send me a home 3 hub even if they don't think that the router is the problem.  I remember not being near the router when I first created the connection with the router wireless.  Not sure if it is relevan.t I am at my wits end.  I am not knowledgeable about these things, and after having my laptop for a week I could not enjoy it at all.  Thank you

  • Problem on HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with Windows 8 Pro x 64 on video card

    Good evening

    I just finished installing Windows 8 x 64 Win7 Pro, I could find all the drivers for my laptop, but I have problems with the video card settings.

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with two graphics cards, one managed by the processor, because it seems to do, and the other is normally installed on the PC.

    The cards are read by Windows as:

    Unit 1: Intel HD Graphics 3000
    Unit 2: AMD Radeon HD 6700 m Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.20)

    the problem lies in the fact that the device must be a supported per second, or disabled, as it will not be. AMD video card must be set to 1 and the intel 2. If I go to the "Device Manager" to disable the card intel Windows, it works as if he was absent any video card, also installed driver is not correct because the card is an AMD Radeon HD7690M XT, the problem is that even if I uninstall this driver then always comes back. I also tried to download AMD Catalyst in the latest version, but can't find the card. It's as if the windows are imposed only use the unit 1, which, however, I can not disable the BIOS, because there is no voice. I note that Windows 7 had no problem.

    I ask you to help me because I need the video card for my work performance.

    Fixed the link - please try again
