Satellite C660 - impossible to activate WLan

I bought mine in November last year and was NEVER able to use the wifi since.

Tried this press FN and F8 or anything and it didn't work.

I had to use a bloody ethernet cable since and I think that it ended up damaging the socket and leaving me without service.

How, in simple terms, can I fix?
Never had such difficulties with my older model Hewlett Packard 2005.

Hello

The simplest solution would be to drive HARD recovery.
This would create the laptop to factory settings and normally everything should work correctly using operating system set by Toshiba.

But you have problems with all FN keys?
If Yes, select all programs-> Toshiba-> maps Flash Utility and restart the tool.
If this does not work, reinstall the package of added value and utility of the Flash card.
Of course don't forget to day/reinstall WLan driver first

    After about two days, I accidentally pressed a button any and so the disabled built-in wireless adapter,.
    Now I am faced with the problem that I can not activate the feature!

    Toshiba value added package, I had already installed in two different versions for the function of the keys FN, but nothing happens when I press the FN + F8 FN key, all other orders remain intact!

    Does anyone of you how activate you again specially for this model, the built-in wireless adapter?

  • Impossible to activate WLAN in Satellite L500

    My home wireless network have abandoned for an hour this morning and when she came back on the wireless on my laptop was turned over. I understand that there is no any external switch for the wireless and the combination Fn + F8 does not work. (F8 is not even on the screen when I press F8 but all others do). My iphone and laptop spare are connected well, so I know that this is not a problem with my internet at home.

    The laptop is running Windows 7, that it came with. I did nothing to change the elements of parameters / installed.

    Is there another way I can turn on the wireless in a L500?

    Hey Buddy,

    Have you checked if your WLAN CAD is listed correctly in the Device Manager? In my opinion, you need to update the driver. The latest version, you can get here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    If you have installed a 3rd party security/firewall software, make sure that it s not blocking not not the Internet connection.

  • Satellite L350 - impossible to activate the WLan

    Hi all

    When I turn on my laptop, more often in other wireless LAN is not lit.
    I had to reboot this morning 11 times to make it work.

    Also when it is turned on every now and again he will lose the connection, if I'm going to reconnect to my router, that it is not on my list.
    So after refresh of all wireless devices in the area to disappear out of the list and I have to restart the laptop all over again.

    Can anyone help please that it becomes very annoying.

    > When I turn on my laptop more often than in other wireless LAN does not illuminate.
    > I had to restart it 11 times this morning to work.

    The FN + F8 combination works properly?
    It turns on and the WiFi network.

    In addition, I think that there is something wrong with the Wlan driver.
    This means that you must remove the old driver from the system and need to install the new version you can download from here:

    On many models of Toshiba WLAN switch is no longer available and WIFI/BT will be enabled/disabled with function keys (FN keys). To work, you must install added Toshiba Value Package and Toshiba Flash Cards Support utility.

    You have two of them? Check please if Toshiba flash cards are listed in the startup (run > msconfig > startup).
    By the way: you can use the keys FN + Fx?

  • Re: Satellite L650 - impossible to activate wireless LAN

    I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite L650. I installed all the readers (video, sound, lan, WLAN...) but I can't turn on the wireless network. Practically, Fn + F8 does nothing.

    What can I do to activate it? Is there another way?

    Hi longip,.

    Wireless network adapter is listed correctly in the Device Manager? It may not be installed or with yellow exclamation marks so the driver must be reinstalled.

    For the FN key combinations, Toshiba Value added Package must be installed and Flash cards Support utility.
    You have installed these tools?

  • Satellite C660 - how to activate and use WAKE ON LAN?

    Hi all

    Previously, I posted asking about the use of Wake on Wireless LAN and was very helpfully informed that it was impossible, so I started to explore the Wake ON LAN option.

    I have a Toshiba C660 PSC0LE-00500JEN and helped Wake ON LAN in the BIOS and have connected a LAN cable between my router and the laptop, which recognize each other, if the cable looks ok.

    However, if I use an app to WAKE ON LAN on my android, or I use a site online "wake on lan via browser ', the laptop stay asleep.

    Can someone advise?

    Thank you

    James

    Hello

    Wake Up on Lan option would work if send you a magic packet to the remote machine (laptop).

    I have no experience using the Android app, who knows if it works properly

    Try the other method. For example, using software such as wake on Lan for Windows (GUI) graphical user Interface

    Google for it to download this software.

    In addition, go to the device-> LAN card Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab and check here if the WOL is activated too

    How do you know that? Have you checked entry WLAN in Device Manager?

    In General, something like that can not happen. Original recovery image contains all the necessary drivers and each hardware component must be installed correctly. With other words, it must be the same situation as on the first day after unpacking your new laptop.
