Pavilion Elite e9290f: need to connect to a home wireless network

We had bought our PC for several years and had it connected to a router to access the internet.  I think that the computer has the feature to connect to a wireless network, but you should never use this feature.  We moved recently, and now we are in a situation where we are unable to connect the PC to the router.   I'm not sure how to proceed.  I don't see that a WLAN listed in Device Manager.  We are running windows 10.  any guidance would be appreciated.

Kaalee75, welcome to the forum.

The computer has a wireless interface card:

    Recently installed vista update.  I can no longer connect to my home wireless network.  I get a message that says 'wireless link failed because windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router.  I troubleshott he said of computing could be from low signal strength and yet it shows the strength of 100%.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    Check the firewall it is maybe it has been reset.

    In general.

    Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    When the work turns on the Wireless security.

    Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

    Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

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

    I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

    Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
    some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • The Pavilion Elite HPE475 need an external antenna to a wireless connection?

    I just bought this machine and have had problems with a poor quality since the wireless signal. HP technical team came up with all sorts of different explanations, and I even had to send for the "repair" because one of them think that the wireless card was defective. The last time it's because he needs an antenna.

    Can someone confirm if this machine wireless card requires an antenna to be connected to the two screws Golden at the back of the computer? What is the answer, or just another diversion?

    I was not sent an antenna with the computer, it may be a mistake the part of HP. I can connect to the internet, but usually get that two bars on the signal, while my old computer has always had five bars, as do other computers on the network. The connection keeps dropping out and is extremely slow to load at times.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I suggest that you take a look at what came in the box.

    The low-profile wireless network card should have with an antenna and two cables with connectors from red and blue to differentiate the connection to the wireless card.

    The service center may be assuming that you already know that... All the wireless cards that come with desktop computers have a connected external antenna with cable to the wireless card.

    This image is an example. Some cards equipped with antennas that screw directly on the gold screws. Most 802.11 b/g/n card look like this.

    Please report anything that is on the label with bar code on the back of your PC, except the serial number. The HPE475 is not a complete description of a PC.

  • Laptop will not connect to my home wireless network

    I've had my laptop for a few months and my home network wireless also. My laptop has always worked perfectly until last night, I was in the living room and my phone cut because it ran out of battery. I went to restart, and when I did, NO network could be found, and several others usually appear outside my home network. The wireless switch is turned on and I rebooted the computer several times, I ran the wizards and shooters of boredom, I started the wireless zero configuration, but nothing happens. everything he says is "wireless networks could not be found", and when I click on the message, a black box appears with a message saying "windows has encountered an illegal instruction. I don't know what to do. my laptop model is a Sony Vaio, but that's what I know. My ipod connects to the wireless perfectly, so I know its my laptop that needs fixing.

  • Win 7 does not recognize that I am connected to my home wireless network.

    Recently, I upgraded my desktop and my laptop at home to Win 7. I'm trying to set up a home network, but on my laptop, I can't change my home network location. Even though my laptop is connected to the internet via my wireless router, Windows don't think that I'm connected to a network. When I click on "connect to a network", it shows that I am connected to my wireless router. When I try to set up a home network on the laptop, it tells me I need to change the network location of the Public at home, but since he did not think that I am connected, it will not allow to do me this.  I searched the internet and worked through it for hours, but can't seem to find a solution to this problem. Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    I had this same problem.  I have a home group on my desktop running win 7 64 bit.  My laptop (win 7 64 bit) could not connect because the internet connection was showing pubic hair and I couldn't change it.  Here's what I did.  I deleted all my networks and groups off the laptop computer.  I restarted my laptop.  On my desktop, I went into Control Panel, home group and consulted my password.  I also need my wep key of wireless network.

    To better understand, my wireless network name is cleopatraiz

    On my laptop, I went into the wireless network connections through the status bar at the bottom right which displays all networks wireless scope.  I clicked on my wireless (cleopatraiz) and it prompted for the wep key.  I entered that and then I went into newwork & Sharing Center, was now showing my active network as cleopatriz, I clicked on choose home group and sharing options and joined using my password of the Group House of desktop computers.  It worked.

  • Request help second addition, internal hard drive [HP Pavilion Elite e9290f]

    Hello

    Quick question here. I am a music producer and you can always use a ton of extra space as some of my projects are 17 to 20 GB in size. My HP e9290f comes with a stock of 1 TB Seagate (I think) internal hard drive. I intend to add this DeckStar HGST hard 4 TB (7200 RPM)

    However, I am not sure, if this drive is compatible with my computer. I talked about the upgrade & maintenance manual but inside, he tells me only how to replace the current internal hard drive. The addition of this amount of space external hard drive is not an option since all my ports are used by external hard drive! Can anyone shed light on what tools I need exactly to connect this HD extra 4TB? I would appreciate your answers, because time is of the essence

    HP Pavilion Elite e9290f | Intel Core i7 920 2.67 GHz | Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit Edition. 20 GB OF DDR3 SDRAM MEMORY | 1 TB of HDD at 7200 RPM.

Wide screen monitor |

    Hello

    I have not tested a HDD 4 TB on the motherboard of truckee. In theory, it should work as a data reader set shaped like a GPT disk.

    Another option if you don't want to take the risk is to install two hard drives of 2 TB. The one in the location empty in the cage from the hard drive and another in the optical drive Bay (if open) second.  You will need one 3.5 "to 5.25" adapter if you use the optical Bay.

    Check on the return policy for the 4 TB harddrive and see if your can return/exchange it if it doesn't work.  Kit retail for Hitachi 4TB has an optional driver if the motherboard of your PC will not format the drive completely outside up to 4 TB.

  • Try to install USB 3.0 PCI x 1 card in a HP Pavilion Elite e9290f

    Trying to install the USB 3.0 PCI x 1 card in a HP Pavilion Elite e9290f.   It is supposed to be a PCI x 1 slot and a PCI x 4 slot available for expansion.  I'm not one of these.  However, there is a very long slot just above the video card (x 32?).  Looks like that slot would host the map, but I do not see the power cables available with a male plug.  There seems to be 2 sheets of female power (red, black, black, yellow).  May need to find a male/male adapter, if these are sheets of power and of the large slot is one that I can use.  I'm setting up to use a 3 TB external drive and need to transfer about 2 TB of data.  Speed will really help.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

    There should be a number on the motherboardPCI-E slots.  Any open slot should work.

  • Windows 7 tries to connect to an unknown wireless / network wifi (neighbours)

    I am new to Windows 7 and any ordinary member of the public - not a computer expert to provide basic instructions (model instructions) If you are able to help. I have posted this question elsewhere and had 3 responses but I can't follow responses.) The problem. I have my computer (windows 7) set up a home wireless network that is secured with addresses MAC etc. I love my connection and when I click on the icon to the right low cnr of my screen - its listed in the box. Only problem is there other wireless (probably neighbors) are also, and the computer often tries to connect to these institutions (in vain because they are also fixed). These wireless networks come and go in the box and when they reappear, the computer will always try to connect. When trying to connect, I have my own connection loose and need to reset it to the top. I checked the option automatically connect to these networks, but not matter how many times I do it, it always appears again, check mark. Oh and it's just done as I type this - its very frustrating. I want neighbors prospectus and begging them to stop their networks! Hope I have not to lose this position.

  • HP pavilion elite e9017c needs to recover, but the habit

    Currently I have a Hp Pavilion Elite model e9107c equipped with windows vista and it won't work. I left my house 2 nights ago and when I tried to use my computer today it wouldn't work, so I restarted. He is now showing me a screen that says "Windows did not start. A recent change in hardware or software may be the problem. "It gives me two options to choose from which are launch startup repair and start windows normally. When I try to boot normally, it won't let me. and I chose to run the repair of the system. I don't have recovery discs and want to restore the factory settings. I think my computer has one hard drive more small that contains factory settings to restore, but I have no idea how do. How to do?

    Hello

    Shut down the PC.  Here tap f11 as soon as you press the power button to see if it will start the Recovery Manager - you can then use it to reinstall the operating system.  The process is explained in the guide on the link below - starting A recovery from the hard drive and the computer is turned off.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00814731

    If you wish. You can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - I think that there is a small charge for this.

    If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP here.

  • Need to connect to the home network wireless - Windows XP Pro - error with network password - needs to be 40bits or 104 bits...

    I have a new laptop at home which has windows xp sp 2 is installed.  I am trying to connect to my wireless network.
    I get the following error;
    The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration.  This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii or 26 hexadecimal characters.

    I gave my father a new laptop computer this fall and he gave me one that had given him his friend... I've never worked with XP Pro...

    We have several other phones on this account wireless at home.

    You try to login with the wrong encryption method and you have this implemented extremely secure wireless network.

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine. The first thing to do is to change the default password because * all * known default passwords for different routers.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password that you have created (exactly as you wrote it with all capital letters and punctuation) to join the network and start surfing. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Right-click on the icon of your adapter wireless network connections, and then select Properties.

    Click the wireless networks tab.

    In the list of "Preferred networks", select the entry for your network and click on the button 'properties '.
