  • Unable to connect to wireless networking

    My Toshiba laptop has been pre-installed with Windows 7 Home premium 64 - bit OS and it worked quite well with the BB wireless. However, the wireless internet was on and turned off in recent weeks, while other mobile devices, such as iphone, ipad, or laptop, in my household had no such problem. The wireless signal was so strong, but the error message always says "unable to connect to wireless networking. It seemed that there was something wrong with the wireless adapter.

    I got a new adapter properly installed TP-Link wireless. Fortunately, it worked; but unfortunately, it worked for less than 24 hours. It was really frustrating that I, like student full time, depended so much on the wireless network card.

    Help, please! Harry

  • Satellite A200-244 does not connect to wireless networks

    Hello
    I bought a Toshiba Satallite A200-244 a few months back. It worked falwlessly with my Virgin internet router from the beginning, but suddenly I am disconnected during navigation. I was not able to connect to the network since. It shows the network when I try to connect it says * unable to connect * I diagnose the problem, but still does not work. I know somethings wrong with the laptop, because the other companions of House have no problem connecting to the network.

    I tried the things:

    -Put the router for 30 seconds and then turn it back on.
    -Updated network adapter drivers. (Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG)
    Search - forums but they all say of the complicated stuff related to the register and all, tried what ever I could catch.

    Tech gurus out there, please help me!
    Thanks in advance

    Checked settings in Windows? Maybe there's something wrong in the configuration DHCP network or something.

    Turn off the router, unplug it from the power source, wait about 10 minutes, plug in the power supply and turn it on.

    If the problem persists, you should load the router factory settings. Then after you should check, if the router and the wireless network adapter using the same standards.

  • I have a problem with the wireless network card.

    Hello

    I use a laptop Medion MIM 2210 and I have a problem with my wireless network adapter.

    I get a message before Windows 7 starts telling me that there is problem with a wireless driver. The exact message says:

    "Intel UNDI, PXE - Z.0 (build 082)

    Copyright (C) 1997,1998,1999 Intel Corporation

    VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter v2.43 (2005/12/15)

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

    "PXE - MOF: exit Inel PXE ROM.

    This message appears every time you start and I don't know what he means by "Media Test Failure".

    I turned on my laptop today and noticed I had no internet connection, it showed that it connected but with yellow '!' symbol indicating that it was not fully connected. He did this for a while now and I have reinstalled Windows, in safe mode and I tried to delete the drivers and re - install, but it hangs right on uninstall what makes me angry no the case.

    Of course now, I tried to look for help my internet connection is running but the message is still there. Can someone tell me what to do or how to solve this problem, I am standing now on what to do. I was also on the drivers Medion website but it is impossible to navigate around and drivers without end there'e to choose. I would consider ringing them and asking them if they were not located in Germany as it would cost me a bomb! I did just now searching online via the Device Manager to see if he can find an update for the drivers but nothing came.

    Thanks for any help that anyone can offer :)

    The message is to be cause the BIOS looking for boot from LAN (not wireless) before it starts and then from the hard drive. The Media test failure is because to boot from LAN it tests to see if the wired Ethernet is connected, it is not if it generates the error message.

    Enter the BIOS press F2 after initial power on but before the Logo Windows shows

    Integrated devices should allow you to set the settings of wired network adapter. According to the BIOS it is either "enabled with PXE" or have another option to enable or disable the boot ROM

    In the boot options the LAN card should be removed altogether.

    This message is ONLY applicable to the transfer of the BIOS boot process and should have no impact on the problems of WiFi (it is not on WiFi)

  • Can I connect to wireless networks far away?

    How to connect to wireless networks more away?

    Is there any way I can improve my reach wireless laptops so I can connect to wireless networks more away?

    Hello!

    You can only connect to wireless networks that recognizes the laptop. If the laptop recognizes a wireless network, you can connect to them. If he doesn t recognize (because it is further away) you can't connect.

    In addition, you cannot improve the scope of the laptop wireless. You can do it on a WIFI router, and not on the laptop.

  • There was a problem connecting to the network

    It identifies the network properly even when I put the password - and that is the password - the comment poster 'there was a problem connecting to the network.  The WiFi network, you are trying to reach cannot be found. "Yet he already told me that the network is correct.  Frustrated!

    Is the network that you connect to your personal or public?  On my home network, I turned on an access control and when you are trying to connect with an unauthorized device, we get similar behavior.  It does not connect despite all the correct information.

  • Help! -Lack of software to connect to wireless networks.

    Hi all

    I bought an IBM Thinkpad T42 Type2373 (Made in 2005) WIPED for a young man named Andrew who I am a Mentor for. His family cannot afford it. I installed Windows XP Professional on this topic and went through hundreds of automatic updates from Microsoft. I also installed NIS 2010 and update this AND more still software too.

    Now, knowing he has a Pentium M Processor (1.7 Ghz), I should be able to connect to wireless networks. Right now I am connected to a router Linksys, this is how I'm connected to the internet.

    Obviously, Miss me some software to be able to do. I looked online on the Lenovo site and I saw so much, that I don't know exactly what I need. I know I need an icon to click that search networks wireless in the region, but there is obviously more software I have to install.

    Any help from any of you experts out there would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much, and Andrew Merci you too!
