Re: Satellite L450-173 - unable to detect wireless networks

I have a similar problem with my satellite L450-173.

I bought this laptop without OS and installed win 7.
I found and downloaded the latest drivers toshiba WLAN support and download page and my Device Manager indicates that the device is turned on and that it works correctly.

However, I am unable to detect the networks without wire in the box (alltough there are at least three in the district).
I have a home network with the router. When I connect to my laptop with a LAN cable, it connects automatically without problem. But I can not connect via my wireless connection.

Windows troubleshooting is of no use.
I downloaded the chipset drivers updated too (following the suggestion by an online forum), but which did not help at all.
My "doctor Conectivity" reported that my wlan adapter is 'on', but when I enter the 'Radar' option, it reports that this wireless network device is disabled. I tried to disable and then enable once again, but it did not help. I also used the option reset address IP - no use. My IP address is set to auto because my network is connected by the router.
I tried pressing FN + F8 but I have not noticed any change.

Indicator LED for a wireless connection at the front of the laptop is always red.
I read many forums linking similar issues to win 7, but I have not found any solution.

Any ideas?

Hello

Eventually the WiFi network is disabled and so you cannot connect to the Wlan router.
If the FN + F8 does not change the status of WLan, then it would mean that Don t FN buttons work properly have you checked if the other FN keys work?

You must reinstall the VAP (value added package) to obtain the keys FN working again
If you want to use the Fn + F8 then you should see (flashcard) WLan icon on the screen

Another idea;
You can toggle the wifi in the Device Manager-> card Wlan-> properties-> Advanced tab.
Check this box

PS: If the BIOS is not updated, then you need to update it too!

    As I lost the DVD attached to the purchase of the laptop, I have downloaded all the drivers for my model based on the Toshiba site

    I installed all the drivers and the thing is that the wireless card is most recognized. I can´t see WiFi available.

    I connect to the laptop with a cable to get access to the internet and it works properly.

    Assuming that wireless router is configured correctly, it is a signal and the wireless card on the computer is physically in.

    Maybe this can help.

    These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    ------------------

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    To ensure that if there is Wireless Utility a seller is not running with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

    ----------------

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd AV/Firewall/security software part, s costume keep blocking aspects of Local traffic even it they are off (disabled).

    If possible set up the firewall correctly, /Security costume otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

    ---------------------------

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  • Satellite T135D - cannot detect wireless networks

    I bought a T135D early January.
    Everything was happy until one day my laptop decides it cannot detect wireless networks, and even less to connect to one.
    I don't think the T135 came with a manual switch, while in the BIOS it says it's on.

    The graph with the antenna and 4 bars charge is no longer at startup, or the light that lights up on the front of my laptop. It's frustrating to have this kind of problem so early in the game with the T135D.

  • 'Detected wireless networks' followed by 'no wireless networks were found in range ".

    Trying to help a friend with their laptop!  It's a Lenovo R61i laptop model A 8932, 54, around the age of 16 months.  WIN/XP SP3 is the only OS.  He was working on this wireless network until they are gone on vacation and tried to connect to public wireless networks! Their daughter portable computer continues to operate properly with this wireless network, and it also shows the neighborhood wireless networks as well.  The R61i has a built-in 'Pro\wireless Intel 3945ABG Network ' wireless wireless adapter.

    Connectivity and internet access works very well through the ethernet port.

    Here's what I've done so far:

    He has Norton AV.  I made sure that it was up to date and then ran a full system scan.  It was clean.

    Any help will be appreciated, and I WILL ANSWER about the results!

    Windows Update ran (after I got it work - see below) for all critical updates.

    Fact a "repair" on the wireless connection with these results:

    • Wireless networks detected
    • No wireless networks were found in range
    • Windows could not finish repairing the problem because it is impossible to perform the following action: connect to the wireless network

    That when the laptop is 5 feet of the wireless router.  It is a Dlink
    Updated the driver from Lenovo web site by the support of the Intel boards:

    • former pilot was 11.1.1.11
    • new driver is 12.4.0.21 with a date of 04/03/2009

    Went into the BIOS and reset the BIOS to its original, saved and reloaded settings.

    Checked the Device Manager.  Everything looks OK, no yellow or red devices

    Remove the network card and let Windows re - create.

    Disabled and enabled the network card

    Check the event logs.  The only entrance is on the system log.  I don't know if this event log entry is significant or not, but it's here:

    Source: NETw5x32, zero category, event 7036.
    The service entered the \DEVICE\{78E5EBB6-A194-4E9F-A840-E05CC39A5823} State.

    I have not yet tried it raise in "Safe Mode with networking".

    I would add that "Windows Update" was also not working. Graduation: A few updates have not been installed.  Error code 0 x 41. I had going in downloading and installing the latest version of Windows Installer 3.1, version 3.1.4001.5512

    Do not think that there is a relationship between these two issues, but stranger things have happened.

    The laptop has a 3-year extended warranty and I'm about to throw it in the face of Lenovo as a hardware error.  The thing that blows my mind is 'Detected wireless networks' followed by 'no wireless networks were found in range ".

    Hi Shawn

    Thank you for your help.  Here is the final solution to this problem.

    The "clean boot" you suggested worked as described, but it had no effect of awareness of wireless networks.  Ditto to start in "Safe Mode with network.  We took the laptop to Office Depot; They basically ran the same tests that I did, with the same results.  Their technology has managed to get it to connect to Wireless store by manually setting, but it would not show under 'view available networks '.  He suggested that we call their 800 support number.  The only novelty with that phone support guy came was to "Ping 127.0.0.1" which I don't think inherent in the wireless somehow.  He wanted me to call Comcast to check the internet connection.  Under the principle of "do not create a new problem while you're working on a problem", I resisted to go here as two other computers work fine on this connection from Comcast.

    We finally opted for a full charge of Windows.  This included a blue key on the laptop at boot to bring up "Rescue and recovery", then by specifying 'Restore my hard drive to the original factory condition' and "don't save all files" - we have previously saved the contents of "My Documents" on a USB key.  This charge really don't take as much time as I thought he might; only about an hour.  Most importantly - WIRELESS NETWORKS APPEAR NOW; and connect as it should!  We had to apply SP3 as reloading he brought back to SP2 status.

    I guess the lesson here is that sometimes he just reload Windows is the shortest possible solution to some of these mysterious problems.

    I had a hard time to convince me it was a hardware problem, when the system detects wireless networks but are simply not them!

    Thanks again for your help.

  • My laptop cannot detect wireless networks after using the Windows Update service. Technical support, very desperate need.

    I tried the direct technical support, but it seemed to have cut. Given that I can no longer connect to the internet on my laptop, I'm with my playstation browser and painfully by typing with the controller.

    My probllem.
    I have an ASUS Intel Core i3 - 2350M CPU @ 2.30 GHZ running Windows 7 home premium. I've selected "Windows Update" in the start menu and proceeded to download and install all updates. Once the updates have been installed, my laptop couldn't detect wireless networks which means that I can't connect to my router and have lost the internet.
    Device Manager indicates 802.11n Wireless LAN Card is working properly.
    Windows did create a restore point before installing the updates, but everytime I try a restore I get the following message

    Please I really need help, how do I get my laptop to detect the wireless network. If someone could give me a few steps to do, please.

    Most laptops have a switch that turns the wifi radio on or off.  Often, it is a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys.  It may be a physical switch somewhere on the laptop.  See your manual for details.

    If this isn't the problem...

    What is the brand and model of your router?  Almost all wifi routers also have at least one Ethernet port, you can connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable and download the right driver for your http://www.asus.com/support wireless card
    Have you tried to "Roll back driver" in the "Driver" tab of your adapter wifi 'properties' in Device Manager?  At the very least, determine which version of the driver is installed, and compare that to the current version on the asus support site.
