Problems of Internet connectivity after an upgrade to Windows 7

At home I have 2 computers Presario laptops connected to the internet via a modem wireless router / the two using Vista Home Premium (32 bit) OS. Last week I upgraded to one of them to Windows 7 (32 bit) and since then, I had Internet connectivity problems. The other laptop, always on Vista, continues to work with no problems and so I excluded the modem/router wireless as the source of the problem.

The problem is that when all programs that access the Internet, for example Internet explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Outlook and MS Instant messenger, lose the connection to the internet after a few minutes. I disconnect them the laptop to the wireless network and reconnect again manually, then works again for a few minutes and the problem repeats.  An interesting observation is that I use SKYPE (VOIP program) and it is Basel to connect to the internet and maintains the connection without problem.

I suspect that the problem may be the driver for the hardware wireless (apparently made by Atheros communications) installed on the laptop, but I can't find more information on the subject.

Any help on this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tony,.

It is certainly possible.

Some people have managed to install this driver Atheros for Windows 7.  It is on the following link.  Save it to your desktop.

Atheros Driver - Win 7

The driver is in a zip file.  If you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip.  Right-click on the downloaded zip file, select Extract 7 - Zip, select the files, and then click Ok.  Open the newly extracted folder, right-click on the Setup program and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  If it installs successfully, restart the computer and see if there is an improvement in connectivity.

Kind regards

  • Aspire S7 - 392 stop every 30 minutes after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello

    My S7-392 stops after 30 minutes (exactly) to be on almost everytime (I normally use it plugged in). This problem became very regular after the upgrade to Windows 10. When I had Windows 8.1 it is happened, but not every day, it is now very regularly (like 90% of the time, he stopped unexpectedly).

    I also have experience in Mode without failure.

    There are no BSOD, no message in the event viewer, except that prior to the shutdown was unexpected. He has not collected from overheating.

    What should I do? This is known issue?

    Yes, there are some hardware or BIOS problem.

  • change input key after the upgrade to windows 8

    I use the pavilion dv6-7012tx laptop, recently I've updated the Windows 8 operating system and then upgrade when you press (shift + 2) gives me "while pressing on (shift +') gives @ may I know what is the problem.is there solutions."

    Hello okkarai1991. I understand that you have some problems with your keyboard after the upgrade to Windows 8. More specifically you get incorrect symbols when you use the combination of keys shift +. Is this correct?

    Though according to me, there is a setting in Windows itself, I would like to add that HP has not released drivers for all models of laptops for Windows 8 yet. Most of the models purchased after October 1, 2011 should be supported. This site has more information on HP and the upgrade to Windows 8.

    This looks like a case of Windows using a keyboard that is incorrect. Each language has several layouts depending on the region, it seems that you have one of the other selected. This is a correction which is normally found in Control Panel. The process to access the control panel is a bit different in Windows 8, so I'll give you detailed instructions.

    1. Press the Windows key to take you to the view of the office.
    2. Move your mouse to the upper right corner of the screen and move it to the bottom, this opens the bar of charms.
    3. Select settings in the bar of charms, then select Control Panel. Then select the Language Options.
    4. Click Add an input method, and then select 'QWERTY-US.'
    5. Remove the old method of entry, leaving only QWERTY U.S. and click OK.
    6. Restart the computer and verify that your work of combinations shift + you want.

    I hope it's useful!

    This problem started immediately after the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) to Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit).  Again, I want to remind that I never had this problem before installing Windows 7.

    -After a reboot, I am presented with the impossible to connect the network indicator (yellow triangle with!) in the task bar.  (It was how I was welcomed after the installation of Windows 7 is said by the way).

    -The only way I found to regain connectivity is to uninstall and reinstall the network via the device manager card, date at which the computer always successfully connects and remains connected until the next reboot.

  • I lost the internet connection after acceptance of your latest updates. How can I cancel the updates?

    I lost the internet connection after acceptance of your latest updates. How can I cancel the updates?

    Debbie

    How do you know that the loss of your internet connection has nothing to do with the Windows updates? You must find the reason for the loss of the connection.

    How do you connect? Is a wired or wireless with a modem or a router? If a router is the router shared with another computer and this computer can connect to the internet? You need to determine if the problem is a fault on your computer or a failure to connect to your internet access provider?

    What error messages are reported?

    Event Viewer reports

    1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

    2 Event Viewer includes three main newspapers of Windows. Here's the Application, security, and system. For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

    3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Select the Details tab and check the box in front of the XML view. Click the copy button to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

    6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

    7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

  • Vista 32 bit loses the internet connection after about 10-15 minutes.

    I lose my internet connection after 10-15 minutes.

    The message says local access only.

    The only way to reconnect is to restart the computer.

    I use a devolo home plug network system. It is connected to a 210 of BT router travel.

    I also have a new computer recently bought and installed Windows 7. There is no problem with that.

    Maybe it's a coincidence, but the problem started only since the installation of the new model.


    Hello Cody C.

    Thanks for your reply. I tried this. It is said that the drivers are up to date.

    I go into the settings of power network and checked the box "turn off network card to save energy.

  • Problems of internet connectivity with Dell Inspiron 7520 (1703 of Dell Wireless 802.11b/g/n 2.4 ghz)

    Hello

    I bought a Dell Inspiron 7520 for a week now, and I had a strange problem with internet connectivity since then. First, wifi takes a lot of time to connect. After, I'm online, every 10 minutes my network access stops working completely. But if I click on the network icon in the toolbar, it starts working again, but it stops in the next 10 minutes, once again, and so on. If I try to fix connectivity problems, he always find and solve some in the network card or wireless, but then point again, after 10 minutes, or so, it happens again.

    My network card is a Wireless Dell 1703 802.11b/g/n 2.4 ghz and I tried to update and to re - download the firmware, but nothing seems to fix.

    What should I do to fix this?

    Hello friends. Recently I came across the same problem identified by many with a Dell Inspiron 15R laptop 7520 with the Dell Wireless 1703 (Atheros chipset). After losing an entire afternoon and looking at forums and their complaints, I think that I found the solution to the problem (at least, here is running).

    The laptop is connected to a router TP-Link TL-WR740N. The router is configured to run with a frequency of 20 or 40 MHz, making the switch automatically in the factory. The mobile card wireless driver is configured to work only with 20 MHz at the factory. But can be configured to work with two frequencies is adapted automatically. To do this, change the configuration (in Windows 7):

    Start > Control Panel > Device Manager > network adapters > Dell Wireless 1703 802.11b/g/n (2,4 GHz) > click the Advanced tab > select 802.11n bandwidth. Change the value of Auto 20 MHz / 40 MHz.

    Press OK and wait for to reconnect you.

    I hope this helps.
