RT2560F (mini PCI wifi) and Satellite A30

When I install a RT2500 (radlink mini PCI WiFi) have the status of my Toshiba Satellite A30: RF OFF (radio off in radlink configuration tool)
The buttons of switching hardware, software (and Fn key) have no effect

I cover (with masking tape) terminals 11 and 13 on the top of the m - pci wireless card

and now the radio is on

And here the question: WHY?

The led problem is still not resolved, wireless hardware switch too
Maybe someone here can help me

Hello

Well, I put t know why it works after covering the pins.
Are you sure that the Wifi card is compatible with your laptop?

As far as I know if the Mini-PCI wireless adapter is compatible at 100% and the unit is Wireless ready it of only necessary to connect the white cable to the HAND and a black to the auxiliary voltage

Good bye

    My Satellite s2450-101 seems devoid of a WiFi card.

    Hello

    I found the info that this unit is ready WLAN and is attributed to the WLAN option in option. Check please the Device Manager and see if the wireless adapter is listed under network adapter. If this is not the case, the device is without wireless network card.

    Let us know if the card is on board and we can write once again how the card must be activated.

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the WLAN slot is placed under the keyboard. There is also the antenna cables (black and white cable). Update is not a problem, and you can only do so at your own risk of course. ;)

    Unfortunately I put t know exactly what WLAN card is compatible. If you want you can use the external solution. It is much easier.

    Hello

    I'm trying to upgrade Satellite S-1800-452nd wirelles LAN mini PCI card for WPA. Is there a solution?

    Best regards, Joze

    Hello

    You can change the settings in the properties of the wireless network.
    In the wireless tab, you can choose the network and press properties.
    There, it should be possible to set the wireless network key.

    In my opinion, if the card wireless doesn t support the WPA if you need other maps.

  • Question about card WiFi for Satellite A30 303

    Intel pro wireless card works with my satellite A30 303? The signal is strong or more just to buy a USB WiFi adapter?

    I have to buy a wireless card, but I don't know who... and if a USB adapter works better than a PCI (signal stronger and more stable)

    Null value

    Hello

    It could pass the Sat A30-303 with the Wireless LAN PA3212U-1MPC card.
    It is an Intel 2100 Pro minPCI wireless network card that supports the 802. 11b standard.

    But to be honest, I prefer the external solution like WLan USB stick.
    You know that, sometimes, some compatibility problem between the wireless network card and the WLan router might appear. In my opinion it is much easier to test and remove the external USB WLAN as a wireless network card internal minPCI.

    Hope I could help a little.

  • Location of the Mini PCI Slot on Satellite P10

    Hi - I have a portable series of P10, PSP10E-0RCJM-EN.

    It is initially provided without an internal WIFI card but a swith and LED indicator.

    I hope to fit a suitable Mini PCI card.

    I am likely to find that an antenna is already installed?

    That more can someone guide me as to where is the slot mini pci and how to access it please?

    I read the previous posts about the contacts of masking/insulation on the card wifi on this and other forums, so I'm ready for this problem when I get there.

    I hope you can help, impatience of someone soon!

    Graham

    Hello

    The wireless network card is an option on this unit. It is possible to switch this unit with the WLan card. The WiFi antenna should already be included in the specifications.
    The WLan pci slot, you will find at the bottom of the unit.
    It s close to the slot of the modem.
    However, I would recommend consultation with the user manual. There you should find more details.

  • Latitude C640 with 1470 mini pci wifi has very low signal strength

    I just installed 1470 broadcom mini pci card with the 4.10.40.0 (from decompression R115321.exe) on a Dell Latitude C640 driver version.

    The card sees the network and connects, but I must be withinn 5 feet from the router, and even in this case the signal is 'Very low' (an or maybe 2 bars). I can communicate with various other wireless cards on other laptops with the full signal strength during the major part of the House.

    Why the intensity of the signal would be so bad?

    Is the 1470 is not very sensitive? the driver is bad for my setup? is there an INCOMPATIBILITY between the 1470 and the DLink DI-524 router? Is this an indication that the antenna on my wifi card is damaged? (I got it on ebay)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • Wireless kit PA3298U-1MPC and Satellite A30 - where is the antenna cable?

    Hello
    I have Toshiba Satellite A30 (part No. PSA33A - 87 M 34) which was bought in Australia.
    I just bought the PA3298U-1MPC wireless connection kit a couple of days. The installation guide says I should connect two cables. But I can't find them. There are no cables in the compartment. There are no antennas in both wireless kit.
    So the first question is if I should have antennas in wireless kit (I'm not sure that he has not lost the seller).
    If these cables must be in Notepad then I need help to find them.
    I thank very you much for any help.

    Hello

    If the unit has a wireless antenna, the cables are usually there and visible immediately when the lid of the WLAN card is removed. From your description, I assume that your device is not ready WLAN.

  • Mini PCI WIFI card, what are the black and white wires for

    Hi after a lot of research, I find that my 303 1900 is the later model which can be turned into Wi-Fi, it has the LED on the front panel and the switch on the right side. I contacted Toshiba who gave me the part number which is PA 3212U - 3MPC and telephone number of the supplier, 0870 2202 202 costs about £55.00. After the Panel on the lower part of the machine (which houses the memory), I see the place where insert the PCI, which is holding me back of buying the card would be there are 2 wires 1 Black 1 white stuck with tape in the compartment where the card slips, I understand they are antenna but where are they going? they have to be fed outside of the case or they will work inside. ?

    I used a Belkin PC card for awhile but have a little tired to remove whenever I have the laptop computer in its carrying case. (OK buy a bigger box), Russell.

    Hi Russell

    The driver is usually on the CD you will get with the wireless network card. Don t worry about the installation of the driver. It is very easy.

  • Satellite A30 - 303 install wireless mini PCI card internal

    Hello
    I am installing a PA3300U (Atheros) mini PCI WiFi internal card and have a basic question that I hope someone will be able to answer. There are two cables, white and black (under the cover of the wireless card on the case) which I suppose are for the internal antenna. The question is where do these attach to on the mini-PCI card (unfortunately I have no instructions for the card mounting)?
    I'll be very grateful for any assistance with this.
    Best regards, Dave.

    Hello

    I don't actually see one of the Atheros cards, but on other brands, there are two connectors that are marked with the HAND and to THE.
    A white cable normally goes to the HAND and a black to the auxiliary voltage

  • Satellite A20-S103 WiFi mini PCI card need help

    Hello

    I own a Toshiba A20-S103. When I bought the camera there not of wireless. I have the switch but wireless. I would like to install it but I don't like solutions card mainly because of the portruding antennas and special care, I imagine that you must have for such a solution (do not break the card because of the carelesness). Now, I opened my laptop and I have the empty mini PCI slot and the antenna cables. I found several mini PCI card on the Toshiba site in the communication options and accessories section. The problem I have now is that although I found two mini PCI card 802.11a/b/g, which seems to be compatible with my model, I can't decide which is the best because the information provided for each of them are the same. The only thing that seems to be different is the reference number (PA3318U-2MPC and PA3298U-1MPC). Also, there is a two 802. 11 b / g cards compatible with my model but even once, I can't make my decision due to the fact that the information provided for these cards is not helping to distinguish between them. Looking in the manual, I found that my model suports only 802. 11a / b (or at least what they say). And there's a mini PCI 802.11 g on the Toshiba site which is not compatible with my model. If it makes me wonder if I can get a card 802.11 g. I would really like it for the higher speeds that it will support. I don't want to pay more money to use a PCI 802.11a/b/g only to discover that I can just conect to 11 Mbps and not 54 or so... Also, I found on the internet of the 802.11 cards g that promise speeds greater than 54 Mbps. Toshiba provides such a solution? If not, are there maps 802.11 g third-party compatible with my model? I hope that there is someone out there who can help me sort this mess.

    Hi Stefan

    It is not easy to give you a proper answer. In my opinion, it should work, but it is also important to install a suitable driver for the wireless card. I'm sure that it is possible to install the driver for another model mobile using the same wireless card. It will be perhaps better to contact the Service partner and ask them because they have such information and more experience with this sort of thing.
