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.

  • Satellite a20 s103 wifi problem

    Hello!
    I inserted a card MSI mp54g2 mini pci wifi in my computer Toshiba Satellite a20 s103 and it does not work properly. The signal level is very low, although I tested it in the same room where was my AP (dlink dl-624 +). I found that there are 2 cables inside the computer (Brown and white) and two locations on the wifi card (in the hand). I don't know how I connect them, yet I tried all possible combinations and none of them does not change the signal level. Also, I found that even though the antena is not connected, the signal level is the same.
    Can someone help me with this one? !!

  • Satellite A30-203 - need compatible WLAN mini PCI card

    Hello

    I've had my laptop for several years now and have only just signed up for wireless broadband service. My Satellite A30-203 can be improved internally with a mini PCI card (I checked the back) but where I can get a compatible?

    Authorized distributor of parts for Toshiba in my country seems to be outrageous to say the least and are insistent that I send my laptop for them to him have mounted that seems excessive. I also checked the Web from Toshiba site without a bit of luck. Anyone know the part number for a card compatible with my system and where I can get one?

    Hello

    I am a user of one:
    Satellite 5200 903: P4 - M 2.2 / 256 + 256 DDR/60 GB/15 t SXGA + / DVD - R - RW / nV FX 5600/SFP/WIFI ready/XP

    My computer is a Toshiba Wirless lan Mini PCI Card.
    I installed the card a few years ago - everything worked great.
    In early 2006, I installed a new operating system (XP Pro + SP1, same system as before) because it was necessary.
    I installed all the drivers for the card of W - Lan, of course, the map worked in a good way (no driver incompatibility or other problems).
    But, and this is the reason of this topic here. It is not possible to connect my card to any hot spot. I tried with 2 different access points, but the result is the same. 'No connection Point found '.

    Does anyone have an idea of what to do or where I could look for failure? Is there maybe no special software required (I couldn't remember that I needed in my last installation special driver or software)

    If more information is needed, please let know me.

    (Sorry for the bad English, but it is not my first language.)

    THX for your help

    Hello Christian

    First your English is fine, and I'm sure that every user will understand what you want to describe.
    Back to your problem: the wireless card properly recognized and listed in the Device Manager?
    If so, please be sure that this card is enabled. Just that you should be able to see any wireless network.

    You n t need any special software. WIFI connection can be configured using settings in windows.

I am currently using a PCMCIA card but want to spend money with Toshiba to get a good onboard solution. I called Toshiba who say that he is not a slot in my laptop... Please please don't refer me to a partner because I've never actually talked to one yet. Honest answer please... can I mount a mini-pci card... is the 3300 OK, and how do I join the cables (if this is difficult, I won't)...

    Hello

    I found information that your device is ready for the Mini PCI Wireless card. As you know on the wireless card there are two connectors that are marked of PRINCIPAL and auxiliary normally a white cable goes to the ESSENTIAL and a black to the auxiliary voltage

    Sorry, but I can't tell you exactly what wireless card will be the best for you. In my opinion, you should contact partner in your country. I'm sure they can give you correct information, which is compatible with your device and how much it will cost.

  • Satellite 1800-S-452nd wirelles LAN mini PCI card and WPA

    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.

  • Disconnected radio on map Wifi mini-PCI in Satellite Pro A40.

    I installed a card Atheros Wifi Mini-PCI (marked Toshiba, model AR5004G) in my Satellite Pro A40. Pilots of the section of downloads on the A40 Toshiba support site installed fine, and everything seemed to work. But the card could not find my wifi network at home (I rigged the antennas to test, before taking the trouble to install in laptop).

    Atheros client reported that the radio has been turned off and gave the solution like him allowing the use of the customer. But the enable and disable options are grayed out outside in the client. I took a peek in the bios of the A40 (latest version 1.50) and there is no option to turn on the radio. The FN + F8 key on the keyboard (which has a small icon of wifi on him) has also not made any difference.

    To check that it wasn't the card, I have two-way autour cards from my other laptop. The new PCI card has worked well in the Acer while the former, one of the Acer is also off in Satellite Pro.

    Does anyone have an idea on how to get the Sat Pro to switch on the map?

    Hello

    I checked the specifications Satellite Pro A40 and it seems that the WLan functionality is not available on this laptop.
    Is - this laptop has a WLan switch on/off switch on the side of the laptop?

    If this isn't the case, you cannot activate the antenna and so you cannot receive any signal!
    It seems that you must use an external USB WiFi key.

  • 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.

  • Satellite P10 722: what Mini-PCI WLAN can I integrated?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P10 722. It seems to be ready wireless (it has an LED to show the WLAN activity). I would use an internal Mini-PCI card in it. Ideally, it would be a b/g card.

    Anyone know what model/part number Mini-PCI card will work with this laptop.
    She is not in the list of compatibility of the any of the maps on this page (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/options_and_accessories_search.jsp?z=16&service=UK & selOptionCategory = 4696)

    Thanks for your help,
    Shane

    Hello Shane

    Sorry, but this kind of information can give you just the authorized service partner. I don't know if the P10 722 is ready WLAN but you can check only. In the lower corner of the unit, you will find WiFi coverage. Remove it carefully and check if there are two antenna WLAN (black and white) cables. If so, the device is definitely ready WLAN.

    Contact the Service partner and ask them for you to adapt to your model of laptop. As far as I know, the consultation is free.

    Just for info. One of my friends has P10 with WLAN (802 11b Agere) card.

  • Satellite L10-155 and Mini-pci

    Hello

    I plan to buy a Satellite L10-155.
    I know there is no mini-pci wireless network card installed, but my question is: is there an empty available mini-pci SLOT which could hold such a card?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Ted

    As much as I know this unit is not ready WLAN. That means there is no antenna and mini PCI card can not work at all. The only solution is the external device, as the card wifi PCMCIA or same WLAN USB stick.

  • Portege R100: Bluetooh/WLAN 802 .11b/g Mini pCi card Combo available

    Hello

    does anyone know of a Mini-PCI solution, which combines a b/g WLAN Card with Bluetooth which is compatible with the R100?

    My new laptop has a bluetooth connection and a nice combination of WLAN/BT integrated in the R100 would be also cool that the R100 is. There are a few Combocards on eBay that are Mini-PCi cards, but I don't know if "mini-PCI" is a standard for all Mini PCi cards adapt the R100...

    Concerning

    Christian

    Hmm, I searched a bit for some information on the Portege R100 series and it seems that BT is not available and not extensible. This would mean that there is no room for the internal minPCI BT module.

    The WiFi network is available but not BT ;(

    In my opinion, you need to use an external solution such as a stick USB BT.

  • Wireless Mini-PCI card does not work after installing it in socket

    There is a switch for this perpose on the side of the laptop, but when I change nothing happen!
    Also press the Fn with F8 button but nothing is also happening.

    Concerning

    Hi guys,.

    THX starbucks for the post, but I must correct you:

    As the wireless card in the mini-pci card slot is the only one, there is NO onboard wireless card. So it can't be anything to be disabled except the pci socket.
    And regarding the problem: perhaps the card is not compatible with this machine. I suggest to buy a card based on the atheros chipset because they are known to work VERY well (in fact they work) in almost all brands without bigger problems and they do in computers laptop toshiba.

    If the card was not recognized then another card must be installed-> atheros and not INTEL chipset

    Guess what buddy.
    Forget the CPU upgrade!

    It is a very old notebook support old chipset.
    I'm quite sure that the chipset would not support Intel Core CPU m.

    In addition, the memory can be improved up to 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512 MB)
    More is not possible.

    In my opinion, if you need more performance, buy a laptop (maybe good work 2nd unit) supporting the newer parts.
