problems connecting to unsecured wifi networks of (starbucks, McDonald's, etc.)

I have a Dell laptop, I tried to connect to unsecured networks. When I pull up available networks immediately by the unsecured network icon, it is an exclamation that she. When I select to connect, it still says that it is connected, but there is no internet connection. I tried to disable the antivirus and firewall mg temporarily, but it makes no difference. I have a private wifi in that this isn't a problem with me. Anyone have solutions. My windows vista 64 bit is completely up to date.

Many wifi networks out there do not work with the 64-bit versions - they (wifi in these places devices) require special equipment and/or additions and additional software may (if those that they can be improved without buying a completely new camera) and many simply don't bother or have money or consider that the number of people with a problem they need to address.  I suspect this is the case, that you face – I saw happen with many others.  I don't know there is nothing you can do about it except complain (and perhaps someone will listen).  The fact that you can connect at home means that your system works correctly - it's the Wi - Fi connection in those places that can not connect to your 64-bit version.

Unfortunately, the 64-bit isn't the main stream quite yet and so always these compatibility issues exist (and will probably be for some time to come).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • OfficeJet 6600 connects to the wifi network

    Hello

    I bought an Officejet 6600 and effortlessly connected to my wifi network, print and scan for a day. And there are two days that he stopped conntecting to the wifi network. In the meantime, our router turned off and turned back on. That's the only difference.

    First of all, the printer would not even detect the wifi network. I solved that by changing the configuration of the router (Cisco 3925 EPC) and passed under the Setup wireless "Wi - Fi protected setup" to "manual". I can now see the network on the printer again.

    But after that I've selected my wifi network and enter the WPA password, the printer tells me that the network connection is impossible. I printed a page of diagnosis, which told me that the problem is perhaps related to the MAC filter. But I have no MAC filters. I also tried to pass of WPA/WPA2 to WPA only, but that doesn't change anything.

    I also tried to set the mode wireless via the USB cable, but no avail. Everything seems to work, until the moment when he tries to connect to the wifi (screen with 'configuration' with the large antenna and pulses of radio waves).

    Should I give up and bring it to the store? I'm getting desperate!

    Thanks for your help in advance,

    Raphaël

    OK, to make sure I understand - the printer connects effectively to your wireless network, and well it works for a while once the printer goes to sleep, your computer or router may not wake.

    If this is the case there are a few things that we can try:

    1. in the settings of your router, make sure that the multicast is enabled.

    2. set the 2.4 GHz router to 11 channels.  I know it sounds weird, but please try.

    3. set an IP address of the printer:

    -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
    -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
    -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
    -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') 250
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway.
    -Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for second DNS. It's Google DNS. You can choose a different external DNS if you wish.
    -Click 'apply '.

    Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

  • What should I do when I can not enter a password when you try to connect to a wifi network

    I'm currently traveling but I am unable to choose a network from the list of networks that appear.  (I entered it from a family computer.) Then when I click on connect, it takes me to the screen to enter the password.  However, it won't let me type the password.  I tried to copy the password of a MSWord document and it copied 8 nine characters, but still wouldn't let me add the last character.  Any ideas?

    I must point out however that I have just went to Starbucks and was able to connect to their wireless network without having to enter a password, and I don't have a problem connecting to my home network either.  Thanks for your help.

  • Irregular problem connecting to the wired network

    My Windows 7 PC has an irregular problem, connect to the local network of cable through a provided network of the netgear modem/router.

    The connection timeout is the question and sometimes takes a while four two minutes or more.

    A reboot of the pc never seems to resolve but (quite often, in fact usually) will be a restart of the modem.

    The modem is always on (as the announced network connection is supposed to be).

    The network provider has replaced the modem, and the problem persists. This leads me to believe that there is a start up or similar problem with the pc.

    I ran the troubleshooter in windows... no chance/results. Is there a "fixit" tool I could try or something similar?

    Happy to clarify, to provide more information and appreciate any input.

  • Mini 210-2130NR: impossible to connect to the wifi network driver missing

    I recently did a clean Windows 7 on my mini installation because the upgrade of Windows 10 left essentially unusable. I managed to install windows 7 Professional on this topic but I am not able to connect to my wifi to do updates. In Device Manager it says missing a network controller and video controller. I was able to find an adapter (Realtek PCI FE Family Controller) but I need help to find the others. I tried looking for drivers available under my product on the HP site, but she had something specific to Windows 10.

    Hello:

    You need these drivers...

    Network controller:

    This package contains drivers for the Broadcom Wireless LAN Server supported in models cards mobile supported and operating systems.

    File name: sp57965.exe

    Video controller: you have posted you are running W7 64 bit, but your laptop came with W7 32 bit.

    You must use the driver directly from Intel 64-bit for the 64-bit version.  a 2nd on the list.

    Note: I think the Intel driver site is messed up because when I click on the link to get the driver, nothing happens, and this happened to me twice today.

    You may need to wait until after July 4 holiday to get the driver if you have the same problem.

  • HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one: printer stopped connecting to the wifi network

    Hi, my printer has suddenly stopped detecting my wireless network. When I turn on the printer, wireless blue light continues to blink and there is an exclamation point on the screen of the printer. I still have the same wifi network as before and have not changed it or its parameters. I have not physically moved the printer and the wireless works fine for all computers, iPads, and phones.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the HP Utility Set Up software but it couldn't detect the printer to set up.  I also tried running the diagnostic results, but all the results, said 'Not work', 'Not applicable' or 'None'. I can't even an IP address for my printer.

    My laptop can detect the printer if I turn on the wireless Direct button and I connect to this network on my laptop, but that's all. I'd rather connect the printer to the wifi so I can print from all my devices (phone, iPad etc.). The printer is less than 6 months and I do not understand what is the problem with him. Can you please specify?

    Hey @Sue1990,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

    I understand that the all-in-one printer Deskjet 2540 does not connect to your wireless network. I can help you with that.

    To connect the printer to your network again you will need to run the USB cable from the printer to your computer Mac OS x 10.7. This makes the open Applications, Hewlett-Packard and inside this folder you will find a program with a similar name to the installation wizard. If you run this program, then you will find options to connect your printer to your wireless network.

    Please let me know how it works for you and let me know if you have any questions.

    Have a wonderful evening!

  • Problems connection Canon SX280 WiFi for Windows 7 (64-bit)

    I hope someone can help me.

    I recently bought a Canon SX280HS that has possibilities of wifi, and I'm having a problem connecting to my laptop.     I use a laptop Dell Inspiron N7110 running Windows 7 (64-bit).   It connects to the internet and a printer wireless via a pretty new without and problems at all Netgear wifi router.    This laptop also has Intel (R) My Wifi Technology, and I can access the utility to it via the control panel.

    After installing wifi set up the software provided with the camera, I first tried to connect the camera via the Netgear router.   After putting in the correct encryption key (I did this many, many times), he search the device, but it is never and eventually times out with a "communication error" and "device not found."

    I was ready to return the camera to Amazon...

    But then I tried to connect the camera using the Intel(r) my Wifi utility.   I activated the technology, put in the correct encryption key, and the cannon appears on the users list, showing its MAC address and a wifi signal strong.   The camera then sees the name of my Dell laptop, but when I try to connect it, all I get is 'connection '.  Finally, it ends with a "communication error" and "connection failed."

    At this point, I find the wifi on the camera works properly because it clearly links to the Intel(r) my Wifi on my laptop.

    Can someone tell me how to configure my laptop to allow the rest of the connection?     Oh, I tried this many times with my anti-virus IT and OFF and my firewall ON and OFF, and it does make a difference.

    Thanks for your help.

    Had the same problem with the same device under Windows. For me, I fixed it by going to control panel > network and sharing Center > view network computers and devices (this, while the camera tries to connect to your PC. I then click with the right button on my camera icon and click "install". Also, make sure that 'file and printer sharing' are on (my PC actually invited this). Don't know if this will help, but worked for me. Can now import wireless!

    All the best,
