(Redirected) Vostro Wifi card, 2520

My wireless adapter seems to have broken.

I can only connect to wireless internet when my laptop is placed right next to the router and I ran to my wireless connection Dell diagnostics indicated that I need a hardware replacement.  It's all good and dandy except that no matter where I look, I can't seem to find advice on what to buy for my system.

Any ideas?  I have a Dell Vostro 2520.

  • Someone else has an iPhone 6 with a faulty wifi card?

    I had problems with the wifi connection on my iPhone 6 during some time now. The phone constantly drops the connection wifi, carries a low when connected connection and force me to be right next to the router in order to make a connection. I first contacted apple to this topic on December 2015 (2 months after my 1 year warranty) they got to toggle flight mode, toggle the wifi button, reset the network settings, reset the phone completely back to factory settings... I did everything several times and the problem is still there.  I was told by a couple of reps on the phone to take the phone to an Apple Store and ask them to help me... So I took the 2-hour drive to the Apple store nearest to say that the phone has a faulty wifi card and it is not repairable. He said the phone had to be replaced, but I was out of the warranty period and I have to pay $299.00 more taxes for a replacement...

    Does anyone else have this problem? I'm quite shocked that apple refuses to fix it which is at their end in the form of a defective unit. I understand that it is out of warranty, but it is a problem of manufacturig. These phone cost US $300 more our old phone. I am not able to drop $300 + on a new phone that I feel that apple should be responsible. I have been looking online similar questions and have not yet find something.

    Millions of this model were sold. It is likely that someone else has had a problem with their WiFi card.

    I think you don't understand quite what than a guarantee. It covers all defects or failures of discovered components during the warranty period. If the phone has a two year warranty (as it would have if you had paid for AppleCare +) you would still be covered. But, if the WiFi card failed after 26 months, it would not be covered. As you are now about six months outside of your warranty, I don't know why you would expect Apple to cover a problem that you don't yet report to them until after that the guarantee was already more. You just wait for Apple to cover the failure of a component for as long as you have the phone?

  • Satellite P850 - new WIFI card cannot be turned on

    I have a Satellite P850 with i7cpu and 16 GB of ram running win 7 Home premium.

    The wifi card seems to abandon and that it is a realtek, without the support of their site, not even the drivers. I decided to exchange the and installed an Intel centrino advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 dual band mini wifi card that I finally got all the drivers installed, but the diagnosis intel continues to ask the mechanical switch for wifi. I tried F12 and FN keys, but nothing happens.

    Any ideas on how to get this on?

    In my opinion, there is compatibility problem. These upgrades or equipment Exchange is not supported. Laptop computers are offered with the specific hardware platform and Toshiba tools and utilities are designed for certain hardware platform.

    Sorry, but I think that there is nothing you can do about it.
    Replacement with the same card is not problematic.

  • HP ENVY laptop - 13-d045tu: BCM43142 change on Envy 13 wifi card

    My laptop is currently using

    Combination 792608-005 BCM43142 of Broadcom 802.11 wireless network adapter b/g/n 1 x 1 Wi - Fi and BluteTooth 4.0 m2

    There is problem of BOUNCING on Windows 10 wifi connectivity so I change to another card and at the same time offering an AC 5 GHz connectivity.

    One of the options I'm considering is Intel AC 7265 (HP part no 793840-005) that comes standard in the variant of other Envy 13 sold elsewhere.

    Newer that I am wanting to NGFF Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 (8260NGW)is another model.

    Can anyone tell if there are fears white list on the question if these cards above would work on my laptop?

    Should I get the AC7265, I get the part specific HP itself or the Intel will do?

    Thanks in advance guys!

    You can safely assume that any HP laptop with a 4th generation Intel Core processor or newer has no whitelist wireless and yours is 6th generation if you are safely beyond the question of the white list. However, the real problem comes another question HP Wireless: the single antenna module, which is now installed in most HP laptops. Most of the 1 x 1 b/g/n modules have only a single antenna that makes it impossible to get to something that works in the 5 GHz band.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See p. 31. The manual shows 2 antennas and I hope that's right but the only way to be sure is to open and just look. If you see a single antenna wireless, I shut up and look for a usb dongle that is compatible with 802.11ac. Or prepare for a complete teardown add a second antenna.

    The AC 7265 is good enough, if you have two antennas to support.

    You also might as well get the variant of HP that HP has a big enough market share that are still lacking these autour and they do not cost more:

  • Envy 15-j104el: updated NETWORK WiFi card and RAM update

    Goodmorning to everyone

    I write this post to ask for information on the possibility to do an upgrade of hardware on my HP Envy 15-j104elsystem.

    That's what I would do:

    -Replace the network card (NIC) to a wireless better and possibly with a compatible AC NIC.

    -Update to 16 GB of ram, put benches with CL9 SODIMM

    The questions that I want to bring to your attention are:

    -There is a 'white list' for the wifi card on my BIOS (actually F66)?
    (consultation with the service manual there are little NIC OEM selled, y at - it ONLY compatible?)

    -Put the sticks of ram CL9 (instead of CL11 currently OEM mounted), I can inprove the overall performance?

    I want to install are:

    -Intel Wireless-AC 7260 more Bluethoot HMC 4.0


    -Kingston HyperX Impact DDR3L 16 GB (2x8gb) SODIMM 1600 Mhz CL9 (Kit)

    According to your experiences, is it compatible? I can buy them without any problem?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me. Thanks for your suggestions

    In particular, I take this opportunity to greet and also need the help of my friend @visruth ;)

    1. no whitelist. Your laptop was conducted after HP stopped using a white list so that you can install any card with the right form factor and the number of antennas. The Intel 7260 card should work.

    2. you can install the CL9 memory but it will not do anything all run faster. The motherboard is made to operate at the speed of the OEM memory so the Kingston Hyper-X will work, but the specifications of it in operation will be the same as memory OEM.

  • Satellite L30 - Wifi card not in Device Manager

    I recently had to reinstall windows vista (32 bit) on this Satellite L30, all other disks installed correctly, apart from the internal wifi driver, I tried loads of different on the toshiba site, and none of them invite the wifi card to operate. \like as I say, the card does not appear in Device Manager or when I run everest, but assured me that this particular model has built in wifi and Yes, I have the switch on the front running.

    any ideas?

    Did you buy this laptop as used a brand new?
    Wireless network card is built in or not?
    Remove the bottom WIFI coverage and check if the wireless card is inside.

    If the wireless card is inside and you can not install the situation should be clear. What do you think about this?

  • Satellite A100 - Upgrade Intel for 5300AGN Intel 3945ABG WIFI card

    Hi all

    I own a satellite A100-383 PSAARE. I want to upgrade the wifi card, like the one it is installed right now (PRO/Wireless 3945ABG), does not all the speed, the line can achieve (100 MB to the bottom). Anyone know if the map intel 5300 AGN is compatible with my laptop. If not I would appreciate a lot of suggestions.

    Thank you

    Don t think that someone can give you an appropriate response since the compatibility depends on the BIOS
    If the BIOS would be compatible with the new WLan card, then you can use it for you

    The point is that motherboards is able to manage the cards WLan miniPCI module is just plugged the miniPCI slot and its removable
    So there is just one question about BIOS support and I m afraid you will need to test this at your peril

    Hello

    AFAIK, you can upgrade the device with the wifi mini card PCI card. The Fn keys should also work and should enable the antenna with the FN + F8 key combination.
    I also found the usefulness of the shortcut key and a wireless driver for this unit on the Toshiba page.

    Dear Sir.
    I return my tecra m21.8Mhz of service: wireless card broke (don't know why), but they put in an older type of card: first of all, I got wireless b/g, now only b, only 11 mb/s;
    the card is now intel pro wireless mini pci adapter 2100 3B;
    What should I do: do not pay and ask the wright card?
    Thanks in advance
    Dr. weekx

    Hello
    I got in touch with the people who fixed your laptop to find out why the WiFi card had been changed without you knowing or consent.

    If not not help with the issue, I would recommend them in writing that you intend to withhold payment until the WiFi problem is resolved satisfactorily.

    Good luck

  • After new wifi card no wireless connection

    Hi, can all-in-one help me on this problem?

    in my tecra M 745 due youcef change a broken wifi card: the new material appears to be installed correctly, but when I return the laptop wireless connection has been configured in windows with a maximum range of 11 MB/s (a ' b') and keepes fall all the time (notmally 54 mb/s)
    When I want to set up using intel proset software, as I did before the repair (worked great), the program was empty, but the software was still in 'software': the helpdesk here said when the material is allright their work is done. they can set up but cost me a 100 euros/hour
    So, what went wrong? I think that the driver is correctly installed but intel proset does not work, why?
    should I update intel proset?
    Thanks in advance
    Dr. Weekx

    Hello Dr.

    If the wireless card is a new and correctly recognized and installed there not any problem at all. If there is a problem with the feature, it can be simply false connection configuration. Please don t be crazy about me, but installation and configuration of the Wi - Fi connection are two separate jobs. If you check the service for other stuff every step must be paid separately.

    As you know, the wireless connection can be configured using parameters of Windows or by a customer (in your case Intel one). If you want to use the software Intel configuration of Windows MUST be disabled.

    It will be nice that you give us a description of the good model laptop. Sorry, but Tecra M 745 is unclear to me. As far as I know, this is the processor identification and this processor is built in many models of different laptops.

    Good bye
