Portege R500 - Novatel Wireless Radio off

Hello

I've seen a few posts on here suggesting various downloads and updates to solve problems with 3 G connectivity, but none of these downloads have worked for me.

Novatel loads OK... but reports still no Service - Radio Off... I can't find a way to get "Radio on" or any info on what might be the issue...

Any help at all would be great!

Hello

Are maybe something stupid but you sure that you have an internal 3G module?

As far as I know not all models are equipped with this feature to check this first, please!

  • Portege R500 and Wireless connectivity N

    I just bought a new Portege R500 with wireless capabilities N, through the pre-installed Intel 4965agn wireless adapter.

    The problem is that it does not connect to the router Dlink 2740 b mode only wirelessN. The only way I can connect it is in when the router is in the mode of GBS and it connects to 54 members.
    No idea why the N Wireless does not work?

    Perhaps that the wifi router doesn't support the standard 802.11 N wirelesses

    I think you should check your router WLan properties.

  • Portege A600: 3 G radio off and can depend on the use of Win 7 64 bit

    I have a Portege A600 with 3G (Ericsson F3507g).

    The Wireless Manager says the radio is off and I should activate it via the hardware switch.
    The switch is turned on, but only effects the Wifi and Bluetooth. FN + F8 does nothing.

    All the drivers are installed and I also installed RF 3 G utility.
    There is nothing in the BIOS referring to WWAN. I have Windows 7 64 bit installed.

    I saw a suggestion to install the value Pack, but the two zip files will not extract because they suggest that they are part of a multi zip pack.

    someone have a solution for getting the Modem 3 G build-in novatel works on Windows 7 in a Portege R500?

    I tried to install the driver for Vista 32 bit on my W7-Ultimate32bit. I have tried this driver:

    I think so. You can try to use the Vista driver but there is no guarantee for correct material work.
    I think that Win7 drivers will be available soon.

  • Hibernation and Novatel Wireless Mobilink - Portege M700

    Hello!

    I have a little problem with my UMTS through Novatel Wireless Mobilink connection. If I establish a connection and my Portege M700 leads in the idle state (hibernation), I can't establish a connection after the idle state longer. It seems that the UMTS device would be disabled.

    The button to connect/deconnect-in MobiLink is disabled.

    Does anyone have similar experiences?
    Maybe someone can give me a tip?

    Many greetings
    Steffen Bischoff

    Hmm I m not a protégé M700 owner and I don t use the 3G connectivity, but I read about the problems of Hibernate with Win Vista and XP
    In my case I couldn't t connect WiFi after the reactivation of hibernation.

    My solution was; Windows update, updated the driver WLan, updating the BIOS and disable the option in the properties of the energy saving device.

    That's all I can suggest...

    Hi forum.

    Just bought laptop Portege R500 PPR50E-04x048en.

    FN + F1 don't see it's something.

    Great!

  • IdeaPad Z50-70 wireless - hardware radio off

    Hello

    I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Z50-70, and for almost 2 days, I see that my wireless connections are not work / appear. Until about 2 days ago worked well all.

    It is said "hardware radio off", I looked on google but found nothing yet, I tried to 'Reset PROSet' but still, after the reboot, it is the same problem.

    It is not a big problem, because I use an internet cable and everything works fine, but because it's a laptop, so I want to buy a router there is the problem, I can buy it but will not work... like the wireless.

    How can I fix it? How to turn on radio equipment? Is there a button or a key combination?

    Sorry for the late reply, still does not, but I wonder, my F (1, 2, 3... 12) buttons have other functions such as mute F1, F2 F3 adjust sound, F5 Refresh, etc..
    Could this be the problem because the F5 bind key refresh or... I mean, and it should do something else that refresh?

    Update: it's weird, this evening, I came to the College and opened the laptop seems to be that my wireless connections are visible again and work. Still don't know what to do, but I'm glad it is resolved.

    Thanks again for the support!

  • wireless radio turns off every 2 minutes

    I have a Thinkpad Z60t, running on Windows XP.

    I have the wireless switch physical on the side panel on the position we (that is to the right).

    At the beginning, I can't connect to any wireless network without problem. However, after about 2 minutes of not actively using the internet, the green 'radio Wireless' on the front panel turns off and I lose my internet connection. Then I do "Fn + F5" (or ThinkVantage button-> manage my connections-> Radios in Wireless Power on / off) to activate on (and get the light to go back to being green). Then I have to reconnect to the wireless network.

    I think that this is a common problem. I tried several suggestions that I found on other forums, including ThinkVantage button-> manage my connections-> select location-> Open Access Connections profiles-> Configure-> location of switch-> UNSELECT "enable automatic location change". Actually, this method seems to work for a few hours, but then stopped.

    I am sure that my wireless network is stable - my roommate's laptop does not lose the signal every 2 minutes as I do. I think my laptop wireless radio turns off automatically after 2 minutes of no use, and this feature should be turned off somehow.

    Help, please. I'm frustrated to have to reconnect manually every 2 minutes.

    -Ed

    Open Control Panel, go to the system, the property of equipment/system, then go to Device Manager.

    Under the ownership of the wireless card (right click on the wireless card and property select), there are settings for the roaming of aggressiveness, energy saving and power output.

  • Wireless radio turns on and turns off...

    Hi new here and I thank very you much for your help.

    My wireless radio turns off after five minutes on its own.  I saw on the net a fix by going to Access IBM...

    Open connections to access and go in Configure, then global settings.  Uncheck the box "Enable Wireless LAN automatic radio"

    Logins will be automatically turn off the wireless connection when idle to save power.     The only problem here is that Access IBM does not.  He gets up and you can not click on anything.  I read that it is because there was a security hole in an old version of Adobe Access IBM used, and they is plugged but never implemented up to date. You can not use this...    Anyone know how to bypass this or another solution to my problem.   I have a T-40, is said by the way.

    Thank you.

    Once again:

    In the properties - Advanced:

    Radio on /'Off - we.

    Off - Mode power saving.

    Thank you for the help and happy that I can spend it.

  • Portege R500 suddenly turns off, restarts

    Scared near death of my 16 month old Portege R500 running XP Pro.

    Symptom: It suddenly shuts down while I work - the screen turns white (black - although a fraction of a second of vertical - I think - lines), then it starts again. When it restarts automatically, I get a notice from windows saying that my system has recovered from a serious error. What happened three times in the last month. I can't be sure of that, but I think that in all cases, I was working in IE - version 6 and now upgraded to 8 (which keeps freezing upward in his own right, but seems not related). It seems to happen completely randomly and not at any relevant time as starting a program or something.

    QUestion: any experience? Anyone know what is happening? My hard drive is going to die, or is it just an overheating?

    Note relevant potential: 36 to 40 degrees celcius here for the last 8 weeks. The computer is so hot that you can fry an egg on it. It is on a raised platform and let him NAP for an hour or two after lunch. Two of us sit with a fan on us. We use an external display.

    Thank you in advance.

    > It suddenly shuts down while I work - the screen turns white (black - although a split second of worm)
    > Note relevant potential: 36 to 40 degrees celcius here for the last 8 weeks.

    Well, the high temperature might be the cause of this behavior.
    And of course, that could happen often in the summer while a higher outside temperature.

    I think you should check the cooling fans.
    Spray compressed air to remove dirt and dust from the fans.
    Ensure that there is enough free space around the laptop to get properly air circulation.

  • DeskJet 3050 said wireless radio is off, turn on

    Our printer is the printer deskjet 3050 has, and since we went to Maverick we lost access to some of our features (Scan 3).  Now, we've lost our wireless capabilities.  On the network says Wireless Test "on your HP printer wireless radio is currently disabled."  Solution - "for a wireless connection, you must activate the radio on your HP printer wireless.  Refer to the provided with your HP printer installation Guide ".  I looked my Guide series and looked online but I can't find anywhere how to turn on the wireless radio, please help!

    If the radio does not turn on, the radio equipment is probably defective. I would call HP 800-474-6836 Support

  • No driver controller network for Portege R500 (Windows XP)

    Hello

    I don't understand why Toshiba does not have the drivers needed to make a new Portege R500 WLAN works. I have absolutely no ability to wireless networking, as if the switch is off, and I have a yellow question mark in Device Manager of Windows ("other devices", "Network controller"). Windows can't find a driver on the restoration of two CDs and trying to install all of http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads doesn't help either.

    Someone manages to find the drivers to fix this 'Network controller' for a R500 Windows XP? Maybe that my device has a hardware defect, because I can't believe this WLAN for XP support is not provided, out of the box or at least by downloading files on the Toshiba support site

    Thank you
    Olivier

    Hello

    It is strange for me to read your ad one thing. Can you explain what you mean with: Windows can't find a driver on the restoration of two CDs.?

    As much I know restore CD/DVD is not a kind of collection driver but the recovery image that you can use to clean operating system installation. Can you please tell me what restoration (recovery) CD you have? Are two of them for an operating system, or you have one for Vista and one for Windows XP Home edition.

    I checked Toshiba's support page and it has a WLAN driver version 11.5.0.32 / 9.0.4.37. Download and unzip the driver files and before you start installing check readme.txt file first.

    Moreover, for the installation of Windows XP Home edition please use the Instructions of facilities document and follow order listed facilities.
