Satellite C660 - no card wireless network in Device Manager

I had a Satellite C660 for months with a preinstalled operating system.
I've never had a problem with my wireless until recent days.

I checked Device Manager and it seems that the wireless card is missing,
I tried reinstalling the drivers but it stops immediately after extraction.

I did a full scan and found nothing, I am at a loss,

Thanks in advance for your help,

Andy.

Hello

You see yellow exclamation points or unknown devices in Device Manager?
These devices will appear if the driver is not installed correctly.

Otherwise, it might be possible that Wlan module is dead.

  • Satellite C660 - 2 7 - wireless network card problem or not?

    A couple of days, that I dropped my laptop maybe 3-5 inches above the ground and he hit the brick of charger with a small thunk. I have use it again until the next day and since then, internet connection has been patchy, at best, for the most part drops every 3-4 minutes (he always considers it is connected for awhile, but no page doesn't load and Skype shows no connection) and slow when you are connected.

    Running the tool to diagnose windows usually resets the wireless network adapter, also tells me reset the router and will often complain of DNS...connectivity/nameservers/something of this type, usually that they one after another, what is the problem is not really clear. This problem only occurs on the floor and everything seems fine down (the router is downstairs, but is not really further and is located next to the open staircase), but as it was only a few days, this could just be lucky and not relevant. Also the internet connection (ISP, BT terrible btw) has been terrible lately in general, have been on the phone to BT about it several times to complain with no improvement (because they have not done anything).

    Thus, it + pourrait + just to be the internet connection, I really only has not let down any high rise (it was a landslide while reaching to position it on the ground), he is poor at the moment and reset the router seems to have an effect, but does then reset the wireless network adapter (temporarily) and timing is a bit co accessory. I think that this is probably the Ondaaah just lost, but I'm not an expert or a techie and this is my first windows laptop to... Well, never! And I could be totally off. It is also been connected all the time that I was typing without problem, but I got it with the keyboard tilted up slightly to rest.

    Can anyone help? I don't want to get it looked at if nothing is wrong (especially if it's just BT once again, I'm about to give them up for another access provider), but I don't want to leave if it needs fixing and find it does any connect. Even a "Yes, it could be that" or "no, it won't be this" kind of reply would help ^^

    * Edit I ran the Toshiba assist, diagnostic tools and it passed all the tests by default, but he will try next time stops internet connection (probably soon)

    Hi lemon tree,.

    Have you checked the Device Manager If WLAN card is on the list? Maybe just the driver is missing, so it s not listed in network connections.
    More recent WLAN driver download on the official website of Toshiba.

    By the way: why you installed SP2 only? There is already a SP3 for XP it is important because it corrects a lot of security problems.

  • Satellite C660 - 1 MM-wireless network adapter is very slow

    Hello!

    I bought a Satellite C660 - 1 MM and I have 2 problems.

    The first is that there is no C660 notebook - 1 MM on Toshiba sites, but I could find drivers with the PSC1NE thing.

    The biggest problem is that the card WIFI (atheros) is very low (or slow). I read that someone has the same problem, but a BIOS update solved this problem. My BIOS version is 1.00 (released in 2010), and I guess that perhaps this cause the WLAN problem. I tried to update the BIOS, but the Toshiba site, the latest version of BIOS of PSC1NE is 1.00: o

    So now I don't know what to do. I think that it would not be a good idea to update the BIOS with another version of the C660 series but now I can't connect to internet :(

    Please help me someone! Thank you for advice!

    Hello

    On Toshiba page you can only download BIOS version 1.00 and I don t think that there is a BIOS problem. Otherwise Toshiba unlock a new update for the series PSC1NE so Don t worry.

    In your case, I'll try an update of the WLAN driver. You can download the latest WLAN driver on Toshiba WLAN Portal:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    Here in the forum I found some discussions on the issues C660 and WLAN, WLAN driver update worked :)

  • ERROR WITH "DELL WIRELESS WLAN CARD WIRELESS NETWORK CONTROLLER.

    GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING "DELL WIRELESS WLAN CARD WIRELESS NETWORK CONTROLLER STOPPED WORKING AND WAS CLOSED" AND NEED TO FIX. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

    Hello

    Actually try updating your driver and check with Dell Support and Forums if necessary.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they

    Hello

    Usually, if you have a laptop wireless switch should have a wireless LAN card too. In your case I would try to install the driver. Then the WLAn card should appear correctly in Device Manager:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    If that doesn t work, you can try a BIOS update.

    Are you running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?

  • Satellite P10 - 221: "absent wireless network card."

    Hello world

    I had this problem: the wi - fi network card is not present in the list of hardware, the installation of the driver (both Toshiba tools and Utilities CD and downloaded drivers) still fails. In the case of Toshiba CD it says "DON'T NOT updated the driver, Installation failed", while in the case of the downloaded drivers, nothing happens when I choose "Install" from the context menu (click on right .inf). The problem is: the wi - fi card is completely absent, the operating system does not, it does not matter where.

    Someone at - it had the same problem or knows the solution?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    are you sure that you really have a wireless network card installed? Not all machines don't.
    Check the code under the machine. It is printed on a silver label and looks like this:
    PIII1000/256/20/14XT/D/LM/W

    This one is a 1 GHz Pentium 3 machine. Read your code and put it here and we can tell if it has a built in network RLR.

    Thank you

    Hello

    One question; You have a Wlan switch on the side of laptops?
    If this isn't the case, then you can not upgrade this laptop with the network card wireless minPCI because you would not be able to activate the wireless card.

    I checked the internet for a few details and it seems the Wi - Fi is available and in my opinion not extensible too.

  • Satellite P15-8409, Atheros wireless network adapter problem

    Hello. I'm having a frustrating problem with an old laptop Satellite P15. I restored the phone to default settings using the recovery disk that the system was working very badly. After that, the wireless network adapter has stopped working. In the Device Manager "Atheros AR5001X + Wireless Network Adapter" is marked with a yellow exclamation point. In the menu properties, under general, the State of the device the following is listed:

    The device cannot find enough free resources that it can use (code 12)

    The operating system is Windows XP Home Edition. The same problem has been present in SP1, SP2 and SP3. I also updated the BIOS to V2, but it also did not help.

    At work, we use a wireless internet connection. At home, I have a DSL connection. Curiously, when I plugged the network cable to the House, the yellow exclamation mark disappeared and a wireless connection icon appeared in the network connections window. I assumed that the problem has been resolved by updating to Windows; However when I brought the computer in the office, the wireless adapter was once more in the State I described.

    I searched the internet for the same problem, but was unable to find anything. I would be very happy to help.

    all the best,

    James

    BIOS version is installed on your machine? And you have you recently changed some hardware etc...?

    I don't know what it could be, but in the worst cases, the wlan card has certain shortcomings. You can check this by getting somewhere such an atheros wlan card or intel and install it instead of the one installed.

    Maybe the exchange of cards should solve this problem?

  • Satellite A300-10 s / wireless network hardware not installed

    Hello

    Yesterday, I bought a Satellite A300-S10; everything works fine, except for wireless network equipment. When I go into Device Manager, I see 'controller Ethernet", with a yellow exclamation point listed under 'other devices '.

    I downloaded some drivers of your wireless download page. Problem is that I don't know what wireless hardware is inside this laptop, so I don't know which driver I excactly must download and install. I tried a few, but those who did not.

    OS: Windows Vista 32 bit.

    Can someone help me please?

    Thanks in advance,

    With the settings everything must be properly installed.

  • Satellite A500-1GL - card wireless adapter problem

    Hi all

    I had a problem with the card wireless on my laptop for months and have no idea how solve more.

    Basically, the wireless card seems to go through phases does not turn on. One day I can boot up my laptop and it works fine, then the next day it won't work. The wireless button on the front of the laptop is turned on but don't turn on the red light.

    In the past, I've managed to get over this by several reboots the laptop (until he decides to work) or reinstall flash, wireless etc. drivers card drivers. However, none of these things today seem to be making a difference.

    The worst, it's that there is no continuity with when it does not work and how it is fixed (sometimes reboot once fixes it, other times reinstall drivers fix it and so on).

    For this reason, I assumed that this may mean that there is some sort of hardware failure? But if I run the laptop in safe mode, the wireless still works without any problem.

    Someone has an idea what is happening?

    Any help would be appreciated,

    Liam

    Hello

    First of all I would like to know what system you are using and if you have tried to recover the laptop to factory settings in the past.

    The point is that these issues are mostly related software and could be solved by resetting the system.

    However, I think you know that the wireless network card can be turned on and off using the FN + F8 key combination.
    Have you tried this combination in the past?

    Second, you must check the WLan card status in Device Manager.
    The point is that problems of card driver WLan, Wlan card doesn't would be not listed correctly in Device Manager. So this should be the next step.

    Where the Wlan card is listed correctly, I assume that the driver is installed and working properly.
