Profile of Windows 8 wifi and WEP connectivity issues

Windows 8 running a Lenovo X 201 and similar questions on Samsug Tablet XE700T1A-A04US

Updated the latest drivers for WiFi driver for Intel for Windows cards 8 64 - version 15.05.3000.1496 on 26/10/2012

I can't connect to the active WEB Wifi access Points (my iPad and Galaxy tablet can)

Also

I can see previous wifi connections in the register:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Network\DataUsage\Wlan

But I can't find anyway through the user of Windows 8 interface to modify or delete these profiles.  Example, I have some of networks when I traveled in Europe and no longer need them.

Example:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Network\DataUsage\Wlan\LLOYDHOTEL

BTW, I don't want to just delete the entry in the registry without knowing if it's the right way to remove?

I did use the netsh wlan show profiles command and those in the registry is not listed (see above), so no still no chance to remove them.

Thank you

A number of people have asked on various forums on setting up WEP on Windows 7 and Windows 8.

The vast majority of the responses say that you cannot do and just talk about why you should not use WEP in the first place. The fact is that sometimes you have TO connect to a wireless network and it happens to be using WEP. It can be a wireless network at home of a friend, at school, or other places which do not own you. Or it can be your own wireless network and you just want to use it without the hassle of configuring your router and all your computers (again).

YES, people, you CAN manually configure your desktop or laptop computer running Windows 7 or Windows 8 to work with a wireless network using WEP. And the good news is that it is very simple to do.

You must manually configure a wireless profile. The process is very simple and painless.

Go to start/Control Panel / Network and sharing Center
Select "set up a new connection or network".
Select "manually connect to a wireless network.
Fill in "Network name" (this is the SSID)
Select the type of 'security' (in drop-down list, select WEP or other type)
Choose the "type of encryption" (choose in the drop-down list)
Fill in "Security key" (for example 10 hex character or password)
You can also check:
Hide the characters (recommended)
Start this connection automatically (recommended)
Connect even if the network is not broadcasting (read the disclaimer)

Once the profile has been set up, you should be able to automatically or manually connect to the wireless network using WEP.

  • Windows 8.1 and cannot connect to the internet even though I have full WiFi access.

    Original title: Windows 8.1 and cannot connect to internet even though I have full WiFi access-problem occurred just after working fine for over a year

    Uses Windows 8.1 for over a year with no access to the internet.  Today, I can access is no longer the internet using Explorer, Mozilla Fire Fox or store apps.  (Tried to install a game just to test the internet connection-no luck).  When I try to connect the computer just sits there with the indicator connection just spin but never passes through.  I have good indicated WiFi (Internet) access.  While they inspected the updates, the only thing that appears on the current date is some Microsoft Silverlight is.  Could that that may cause my problem?  I didn't do any changes and have no problem until today.  I'm not always well informed in this area and I am at a total loss as to how to proceed, what to check... hope someone can advise me.   Thank you, DebbieG211

  • Windows 10 WiFi and Audio does not not with El Capitan

    Ive recently reinstalled windows 10 on my iMac 27 "retina with 3 TB fusion 2015 end stop a disc, the latest version of El Capitan because of a problem with the Wifi and audio work (I thought it was a fault of windows) and after a few days using the new facility did exactly the same thing.

    WiFi drivers seem to be installed but it can't find any Wifi network (despite the fact that she found them perfectly before) and the sound doesn't bring any connected audio device. There is no missing drivers shown in Device Manager, I tried the fix this peripheral option in windows and it did nothing.

    I tried to re-download the bootcamp drivers by opening the wizard boot camp under OSX and when I click on continue on the first screen, I'm greeted by the error message

    The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

    The startup disk must be formatted in a single volume in Mac OS extended (journaled) or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows.

    So I can't create a new usb key to install the drivers again, or even delete the partition to try again.

    Everyone knows this, and if anyone has found a solution? As I said it's the second time this exact same failure so I think its either a hardware fault or a fault in the bootcamp drivers

  • WIFI and WWAN connected simultaneously

    I have a W510 and both WiFi and WWAN works but not at the same time. I tried to change the configuration several times but I do not operate at the same time. If I connect the WiFi when WWAN is running, the WWAN is disconnected. It's like WiFi replace the WWAN connection and internet connection turns of (IE WWAN). I use the printer WiFi connection and I don't want to turn/on the WWAN connection, whenever I want to print something.

    1. is WWAN and WiFi supposed to operate simultaneously?

    2. If so, what is the WWAN and WiFi configuration in 'Connections Acess'? (Could you please add a screenshot of the configuration)

    I tried with AC and it did not work. I then uninstalled AC and tried Ad - hoc only with win7 and I couldn't make it work. Then I discovered that Intel have a solution called Intel MyWiFi and after installation, it worked perfectly. The software allows the computer create a PAN and Wi - Fi devices can be connected as connect to a normal router. Of course the network works as long as my computer is running...

  • HTTPS with Wifi and 3G connections

    Hello

    I have a code to open a connection https using Connector.open ().

    I check for the MDS coverage and, if not true to add deviceside = false to the URL I check for BIS support and add deviceside = false and ConnectionType = mds public, otherwise I check to support DIRECT and add deviceside = true.

    It was everything works very well if you use a SIM card with BB internet services activated. Even though it was not a mobile connection but Wifi available it would connect via Wifi (that I found on other forums it seems to manage it's "free").

    However, I got a problem when you use an Orange SIM card with no active internet service. Even if there is Wifi available it wouldn't connect. I then added '= wifi interface' and 'deviceside = true' for the URL and it connects via Wifi.

    This is my code

    if( _mdsSupport ) {
                name = name.concat( ";deviceside=false" );
            } else if( _bisSupport ) {
                name = name.concat( ";deviceside=false;ConnectionType=mds public" );
            } else if (_directSupport) {
                name = name.concat( ";deviceside=true" );
            }
            else {
                name = name.concat( ";interface=wifi;deviceside=true" );
            }
    
            return Connector.open( name, mode, timeouts );
    

    My problem is that when I use a SIM card with no internet service at all or with the 3G, they both return with _directSupport (IE. CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_DIRECT is enough) but then none of them will ever connect if I have the network of mobile telephony, Wifi, or both.

    With the SIM card with no internet service I expected to return CoverageInfo.NONE and try and connect via Wifi.

    With the SIM with 3G, I expected him to come back with CoverageInfo.DIRECT but it does not connect successfully.

    Please can someone help explain this? I tried it on a Curve 8900 and the Torch 9800.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Peter,.

    I managed to get all this work on Friday. Thanks for your other thread with information on making connections. Between your phone and the demo app he began finally to all the senses. Still do not know why this is all handled by the API!

    I have test to try, and then sign in using BES and BIS, then Wifi, WAP and finally direct TCP, but you're right that I have need information about AFN to define.

    Thanks again for your help. Your son has been invaluable.

  • Dell XPS 13 WiFi and internal speaker issue

    I had problems with 2 numbers, the WiFi and the speakers. Problems with these two areas come and go, but it's frustrating that I bought this laptop a few weeks ago!

    (1) WiFi

    I had problems with the laptop which the WiFi would disconnect after using it for some time, usually around one hour. The wifi icon would show as little access without internet access and turn off/on, airplane mode and all of the other methods described on these forums would not allow the laptop to connect or find my wifi network. Restart the computer would solve this problem. It's really frustrating so I exchanged for a new one on the Microsoft Store.

    With the new laptop exchanged, would pose the same exact wifi problems. Each device is connected to the network was not having connectivity problems and my router was working fine, every time the laptops first and second had problems of wifi. I then called Dell Support and I was instructed to install the drivers wifi and bluetooth on the Dell site, but the same problems with wifi can't access to internet limited/no and don't see the network would occur again in sleep mode-use it for awhile. I found a thread in which someone unchecked the box that says something in the sense of 'to disable the device _ to save energy' which I guess was a feature related to the wireless adapter. This seemed to fix the problem for about 2 weeks up until a few days ago when the problem would be reactivated.

    The wifi icon would go into the State limited with a legend no internet access and the tips airplane mode and turn off/on would not do anything. Enter the network and sharing Center once I disabled the adapter, I would try to right click and enable again, but the icon would stay as disabled little matter how many times I clicked on activate. Restarting the computer is the only way that the laptop seems to find the network. Everything is updated from this post.

    (2) speakers

    The second issue is the speakers. Everything works well except for the few times I used Cortana. When I click on the microphone icon to talk and Cortana talks back, there is a buzz as well as voice. Similarly, sometimes TI Cortana would say that it does not work and try again later.

    These questions are really frustrating (especially WiFi problems) and I really need help with these problems as Dell technicians to offshore I have met are very rigid and robot-like and they don't seem too useful otherwise than on the fundamental issues. I love this computer but if these problems keep occurring, according to me, it's better to return just as it is still within the 30 day period.

    I think I have solved the problem, finally using the solution proposed for downgrading to the driver 6.x (before it was disconnecting every few seconds, and now he held a super weak signal for awhile without turning off once).

    Ironically, I found the Broadcom driver available on the Lenovo site (it has been removed from the Dell site according to my previous post!) - here is a link for all tent play technician on behalf of Dell:

  • EA6900 - sky, on-demand and other connection issues...

    Hi all

    Newby to post on this forum has my camera for a few weeks now to replace an older WRT54G.

    I'll try and be as descriptive as possible and give you all the info I have and all that I tried in the hope that someone can point me in the right direction - live chat could not help!

    UK - user using VirginMedia fiber for wide band. I have their super hub 2 - but configured in modem mode, preferring my router. Which, as mentioned is new EA6900 to replace the old WRT54G who had got a bit tempremental. The model has no version only. so I assumed that ver 1.0, but it has the power switch. Firmware is the 863 it auto updated version. I disabled this now but alas too late that I read and I can't not the old version of 524 of support (see my other post).

    I have some questions other wireless an occasional reboot which I think could be fixed by downgrading of firmware if I could do it with!

    My question comes with a wired connection (via a switch and ethernet adapter power - but have eliminated these and will expand again) to use SKY service on request. It still worked before changing the router. After changing the router on SKY request I get a message saying ok broadband connection - I get an IP address valid to my assigned range, but it fails to connect to the service on request. I had control of the SKY and they insist, it is not a question to an end and sent signals etc. I have the same problem in three Sky boxes that used to work.

    I also saw this same problem/error with my PS3 which is no longer connects to the internet using a wired connection, it also crashes my switch - but was "bypassed" up to wireless, but even that had to be configured manually and don't work with the settings auto detected.

    I wondered if the use of adapters EOP was causing the problem or my switch that hangs off the coast of one of them, and is connected to that of sky boxes was the cause of error. To prove this, I got a long ethernet cable and plugged directly from the router to the switch - eliminate the EOP adapters but no change. I repeated the process but hard directly router cable to Sky box, but once again the same fault through the service on.

    I should mention that I have Apple TV not connecting the same switch (like the PS3 and sky) and it works fine no errors!

    I did believe all the stuff of sky - planners reconstruction, latest version of the software etc. but now it takes a config or setting I missed on the router which is the stop of service request to work properly, or a problem with the router itself.

    Sorry for the post of time-consuming but I wanted to capture and explain as much as possible. I'm technical with IT resonably as I work in the industry, but the network is not my area of expertise.

    Any help that can be offered is received gratefully :-)

    All,

    I just wanted to post an update...

    I finally found a resolution everthing has been resolved by adding parameters of OPENDNS server address to the list of router DNS servers. I have never needed these before always use those provided by my ISP, but I found the answer in a dark NetFlix forum - I don't yet use this service, but it seemed similar and solved the problem.

    I update incase it helps anyone else.

  • Poor wifi and Bluetooth connectivity after iOS 9.3.1

    9.3.1 IOS is installed on my iPhone 6 wifi in my house guard fall!

    My Bluetooth connectivity keeps cutting to work! So annoyin!

    General suggestions for Wi - Fi problems, maybe one of them will help you...

    (1) perform a forced reboot: hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Leave the device to reboot.

    (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

    (3) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

    (4) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth).

    (5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available.

    (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

    (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

    (8) to restore the device (ask for more details if you wish).

    (9) go to the Apple Store for the evaluation of the material.

  • Satellite L650/1MC - WiFi and LAN connection keep dropping out

    In the last two weeks, that my wifi connection dropped regularly - only a reboot solves the problem. Because it became so frequent (and boring) I returned with an ethernet cable, which worked OK for a few days, but tthat hen started making the same thing: no internet connection.

    I must emphasize that my other active wifi (android and android phone Tablet) kit continue to connect to internet via wifi etc, even when the connection of the laptop has fallen. This leads me to suspect that the problem is mobile partner no router etc. relates. The laptop is rarely used on battery, so I do not have the power as a problem management.

    I have a Satellite L650/1MC running W7 64-bit. I made no changes to my system recently which may give rise to this problem - everything works perfectly until a few weeks before.

    I checked for updated firmware updated on my router in the case where it is the question - it's not.

    Any suggestions to fix this annoying would be welcome!

    > I checked for updated firmware updated on my router in the case where it is the question - it's not.

    Have you tried to reboot the router?
    Since the two connections (LAN and WLan) stops falling, I think that the router is the problem.
    OK, two other android devices seems to work properly but the fact is that router shares automatically and possibly IP addresses, the IP address cannot be assigned correctly.

    However, you can check the WLan and LAN TCP/IP protocol settings.
    Uninstall the TCP/IP v6 and use only the v4 TCP/IP for LAN and WLan.

    Also ensure that your security programs (firewall & anti-virus software) don't affect the internet connection.

  • How can I transfer files CR2 compressed using wifi and camera Connect?

    Hello world.

    I use app camera connect and you can view my files very well. They are all taken as CR2. When I downloaded a (and finally discovered where he was), I found it's a jpg file, not a raw file.

    How to download a raw file? I see no mention of this in the app's settings. The option "Resize" just mentions that it is used only for jpg downloads.

    Also, it would be useful to have an option of the place where to download, but it's also critical to have the raw file.

    Answer is that it cannot. So this is the solution. Use a cable.

  • Carrier - installation and basic connection issues

    We have never used or installed the front carrier.  We currently use Tidal 5.3 x and a sandbox to 6.2 upgrade.  I looked at all the documentations of carrier I can find or miss me even a few very simple questions - more I can't "help" to the carrier to work.

    1. WHERE to install the carrier and why?  CM server?  Master Server?  Desktop computer?  If it's on a server, then should the user executing remote server in order to transport the user?
    2. I have tried to install on each of the above, but a connection could not be.  When I click on 'test', I get the error "Failed to Connect [failed to connect with responseCode [404]] what should I be entered in each of the areas following connections?  My comments indicate that I assumed/attempted to enter and received the above error.
    • Name of the connection - just a name given to a connection? aka TESSandboxMaster
    • Server - server name?  master?  Y at - it a specific format, in that it must be?
    • DSP/Plug in name - I found a dsp on my CM server file named YOUR - 6.0.dsp - should I put YOUR - 6.0 here?
    • User - user of the network which is a Super user of tide?  aka networkname\superuser?
    • pwd - pwd for this user windows?

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi Patricia,

    1. the carrier is installed on the Client Manager - CM is essentially a web to manage the demands of customers, orders sacmd and Server utility for the transport of jobs from one environment to the other. A tide user should be given rights to move Production jobs, and I think tide user must be able to sign the cm as well.

    2. I looked at an older copy of user guide 6.1 carrier provides instructions on how to complete these fields:

    To create a connection: (on page 32)

    • In the connection name field, enter the name of the connection file.
    • In the server name field, enter the name of the Client Manager machine.
    • DSP/Plugin name, enter the name of the primary instance.
    • The name of the primary instance is the name of YOUR DSP or Plugin. It is displayed from the user Web interface in master status pane.
    • In the Server Port field, enter the Web Service used by the Web Client tide listening port. The default value is 8080 for unsecured connections and 8443 for secure connections.
    • In the user and password fields, enter a valid Business Planner user name and a password.
    • Select the secure HTTP option if you want to connect safely through the HTTPS protocol.

    This option is only enabled if the carrier has been configured for sure
    connections. Figure 8 is an example of a carrier not configured for sure
    connections.
