  I unboxed it today and connected to my home wireless network. Everything was fine.
  I propose then my laptop in the living room where the router and the modem is, the connection dies less than a minute or two.

  I troubleshoot it and the results are: he says: problem with the router / access point is fixed; and another notification that says a network cable is disconnected or may be broken. I have no cable so idk why he tries a wired connection. I reset my router and tried everything.

  I take her back to połączyćto left home in my room and it works fine, no drop outs.
  It's all new, satellite a66. I made sure that my data was on and the wifi is good.

  Another notification appears when I troubleshoot that says "My technology Intel wifi adapter not found" idk what it is all...

  Thank you.

  > Another notification appears when I troubleshoot that says "My technology Intel wifi adapter not found" idk what it is all...
  Because of this message, I would recommend checking the status of the WiFi (WLan card) adapter in Device Manager.
  You could uninstall the WLan driver in Device Manager.
  Then you need to download the latest driver from this page:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  and should install the new drivers.
  Reconfigure the Wlan connection and test functionality.

  PS: Please make sure that the WiFi was enabled (FN + F8) before trying to set up the connection.

• Re: Satellite A660-07U - Windows64 cannot connect to Facebook

  I have recently upgraded to windows 64-bit. I used the recovery toshiba (from disk) media. the only thing is that I can't connect to facebook with "_keep me connected IN2" checked. _If I uncheck the box that I can log IN2. I am very curoous to find our why and how to fix it. (it works fine on other machines is that computer). This problem did not exist with windows 7 32 bit.

  * I reinstalled windows (x 64) - problem
  * I have cleared the cache problem persists
  * I used CCcleaner and cleaned everything-problem persists
  * Resent all IE8-settings-problem -.
  * lowerered all the settings_issue of securuty IE persists (cookies enabled, of course)
  * reinstalled Java update-problem persists

  Is that what others may enlighten us in this?

  Facebook login problem discussed on the Toshiba forum? Strange.
  Facebook support is perhaps or some Facebook forum of best place to these discussions?

  Please don't get me wrong, but I think the described problem has nothing to do with Toshiba directly and I can't imagine that you will find the answer here.

  By the way: have you noticed the same problem using different browsers?

  Hello

  There should be a Wifi switch above the keyboard, a touch-button with an icon small antenna.

  This touch key should allow the Radio/antenna Wi - Fi.

  If it isn't, you may need to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package and check the wireless settings in the BIOS.

• Satellite A660-18 - Solution for WLAN switch disabled people

  I finally solved this annoying problem, my laptop is a Satellite A660-18

  Out of the box it just wouldn't connect to the wireless network. With the combination of keys Fn + F8 of the report: "Wireless communitcation is disabled, please enable the wireless communication switch.

  Of course there is no such switch, just the FN + F8 key combination. After having tried various forums and technical support, I solved the problem myself.

  The solution is:
  Go to the folder on your c drive "program files\Toshiba\TBS. Then scroll down the list of program files and double-click the file named TBSWireless.exe and hey presto, wireless communication goes on (Amber Light lights on the lower right front of the computer). Now the combination of FN + F8 key it will turn on and.

  Bye to all

  Absolutely great job, Fin_1!

  Thanks for this solution, but I have to say that I didn't notice this problem on my Satellite A660 but it might be useful for other owners A660 :)

• How to enable the WLAN on Satellite A660-181?

  My wifi doesn't work. After a while my laptop was himself disabled wifi and now whenever I press Fn + f8 it says: Wireless Communication is disabled. Please activate the Wireless Communication switch.

  I tried to reinstal drivers for wifi but nothing has changed. I saw on the internet that some versions of HWsetup you can chose betwin the wireless market.
  I found no key on this laptop to turn on wifi so it seems to be a soft problem... Broadcom 802.11n and Realtec PCie controller family work very well.

  Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

  Hi metalkorka,

  I think the problem is that you have removed Toshiba Value added Package because it the necessary tool for the FN keys. In addition, you should also Flash Cards Support utility.

  I have the Satellite A660 in front of me with Windows 7 and everything works great, I have problems. It s really great notebook and I like it a lot. I'm so happy with it.

  In your case I would reinstall these two tools of the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Remove the old version of the utility of Flash Cards and VFR first and then restart your computer. I would also recommend CCleaner, which can fix and clean the registry of Windows running. A restart more and you can with installation of VAP and Flash Cards Support utility.

  Check this box!

• Satellite A660 3rd party WLAN does not work

  Hello

  I had a problem with my WLAN adapter so I used to replace.
  Currently, I have installed card Broadcom Dell Wireless 1397.
  It has been defined by Device Manager and drivers have been installed.
  But it is impossible to turn on the WLAN.
  When I click the buttons activate WLAN, it just back to the OFF position.
  I also use Windows 10.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I own Satellite A660 - 16 M. Initially, it was equipped with Broadcom BCM4318 WLAN card. I decided to replace it with an Intel Centrino N-6230 dual band with 3.1 Bluetooth card. Replacement process was fairly easy, the problem was to make the new card working group. I use Windows 10 as an upgrade to Windows 7 Home. As you can imagine that the utility flash cards stopped working after the upgrade of the system, but Windows 10 has managed to cope with BCM4318 since the original drivers and Windows 7 registry entries have been always working in the background. The WLAN button above the keyboard worked, was so orange the LED in the front of the laptop.

  Situation changed completely with the new Intel Centrino 6230 N WLAN card. Despite he properly recognized by device with all the necessary drivers automatically responsible manager, I was unable to have the WLAN button and the LED orange work which is to turn on the radio (the card WLAN itself, its possibilities of wifi). The weird part is that the Bluetooth worked without any problems.

  The solution was to put a small piece of electrical tape on the 20 PIN of the new WLAN card to prevent WLAN DISABLE State presented to the motherboard. So RADIO WLAN is always on, so Windows 10 own wifi tools were able to switch on the WIFI network and... I see now all (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) wireless networks. Of course the WLAN button and the orange LED still haven't work (it seems that it is somehow hardcoded to support only the original BCM4318) but I don't love about it. The most important is that I'm now a lot more capable wireless network inside my laptop card.

  I hope that the solution above works in your case, 8stack. Watch the attached files to see what she looked like, as in my case.

• Satellite A660 - WLan Broadcom 802.11n very slow on Win 8

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite A660 PSAW3a 07r00r and my speedtest is usually 12 or 13 MB/s
  After you have installed Windows 8 64 bit, my speed went back to 2 or 3 MB/s.
  All my other computers are still at 12 or 13 MB/s.

  I tried the drivers 64-bit windows 7 as well but no luck.
  It seems to be a common theme when I googled.
  My broadcom driver version is 5.60.48.35.

  Someone at - it solution or something for me to try?

  Thank you, Will.

  Hello

  As I m not wrong the 802.11 standards (B/G/N) WLan wireless card BROADCOM BCM94313 supports.

  What Wlan standard are you using exactly?
  The Wlan standard can be changed in the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab

  Given that the wireless network adapter supports 802.11 B / G and N, the 2.4 Ghz frequency is supported.
  This means that max 54 Mbps transfer rate is supported
  But it's just a theoretical value. You will never get to 54 megabits/s usual speed would be ~20Mbit/s = ~ 2.5Mbyte / s

  As you already get 2 or 3 MB/s, everythign seems to be OK

• Satellite A660-158 - cannot start Windows

  Toshiba Satellite A660-158

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660-158. It has served me less than a week. I think it's the broken hard drive.

  My problem:
  Once I start the computer, it started and has worked for a while, but suddenly, there was an error reading that I didn't have the time. Computer has been restarted. And does not load... Until the boot mode does not reach. But the initial test (with logo) succeeded. Takes a long time and finally gives an error:
  -----
  Cannot start Windows. Maybe it was because of the recent small difference is the hardware or software configuration. To fix this error:
  1. Insert your Windows installation disc, restart the computer (the complete transmission wasn't)
  2. choose the language settings, and then click Next.
  3. Select "repair your computer".
  If this disk is missing, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer (he turned and said to wear to the DEPOT, but I do not have this feature).

  Status: 0xc000000e

  Details: Unable to start menu, since the required device is inaccessible.

  Hey,.

  And why do you think the hard drive is faulty?
  Have you ever tried the repair your computer option? Usually with this option you can restore factory in a few minutes.

  Also if you have the Toshiba recovery disc you can also restore the factory of this disc. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. You need to do a few clicks only, installation with all the drivers and tools happen automatically.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

• Satellite A660-07U - cannot install the new display driver

  When I got to my laptop, it wouldn't even start the box! So I googled how to get operational and it wouldn't install Windows 7 32 bit, so I installed Windows 7 64 bit and that worked.

  I am one of the users who is also having their laptop freeze on them at all times. I did the update to the Bios and it always does. So I decided to try to update the graphics drivers with new ones on this site, but it seems that they won't install. I got 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 first, I have Windows 7 64 bit installed in my laptop. But it cannot find the necessary material, I thought, he says its because my laptop is not a 3D version, should even elsewhere?

  So then I tried the 32 bit drivers and it says im using the wrong system operating system for these drivers.

  How about if some drivers I can use?

  Hello

  A moment I really t understand: why you have your own version of Windows 7?
  Usually by Satellite A660 is always equipped with operating system (Windows 7) and it s already preinstalled. This means that you can start your computer laptop out of the box and Windows 7 will begin. Therefore, you don't need an additional installation.
  And let me guess: you don t have created a right Toshiba Recovery disk?

  In any case, before update you the display driver you must remove the older version first. Then, restart your computer and install the latest version.
