• Satellite L450D - wireless network adapter disappeared

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L450D - 11 X Windows 7

  It seems to me suffer a problem mentioned by a few others, although I can't find a definitive answer on a cause/solution.

  Out of the blue, the other day while using my laptop, my wireless network disconnected and instead of an indicator in the taskbar wireless, I find myself with a wired connection indicator. The option to turn on wireless using FN + F8 disappeared (he jumps now from F7 to F9), and in the Device Manager, the only listed network adapter is "Realtek PCIe FF Family controller".

  My computer is only 4 months, so I imagine that it's under warranty still...

  Can anyone advise me on what I should do?

  Thanks in advance for your help

• Satellite L500 - wireless network adapter is missing in Device Manager

  Hi guys, I have read a lot of discussion but not found a job of answer to my problem and yet, although this doesn't seem to be a common problem, so I was wondering if someone can help out me. Model laptop is L500-1VT. There is no switch on / off external WiFi.

  In short:
  -Awake portable sleep, already before his pan was connected to wifi, but suddenly had no connection.
  -Adapter doesn't not appear in Control Panel, so checked Device Manager. Isn't there. : S

  -Thought that maybe something has come loose? But then checked msinfo32.exe and adapter was seen here.
  -Read a lot of discussion about it being from PVAT with FCU, then followed advice doing reinstalls and uninstalling and reinstalling driver wlan (this being seen in lost msinfo32.exe.) Unfortunately, it did not work. Still not apparently visible to windows.
  -Fn + F keys never worked and after reinstall of the above programs still do not work.
  -Wireless is enabled in the bios.

  -However, and I don't know if it's the crux of the problem. * Wireless is DISABLED in HWsetup.exe. When I try to turn it on, it says reboot needed. If I do that immediately, or much later, I get a blue screen and memory dump.* so I'm sure it's a software problem.

  -J' also tried restores system and disks of microsoft repair. But I am at a loss about what to do now, so use my phone via USB WiFi to connect to MTAs.

  If anyone has any ideas, it would be great!

  Hello

  WLAN works when you restart your laptop?
  Latest version of the BIOS is installed on your laptop satellite?
  Have you tried updating the BIOS too?

  And Yes, last question: do you use the original OS that you got with your laptop (recovery image)?

• Satellite L500-13z - Windows 7 does not recognize wireless network adapter

  Hello

  The Windows 7 RC Device Manager does not recognize my wireless network adapter (for example: Atheros, Intel or Realtek). I tried to install all the Toshiba support drivers, but none of them work:

  After installation, they ask me to connect the unit to my computer (of course it is still on the motherboard!).

  =>, Is there a way to know what is my Wifi adapter?

  that one failed: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7201PO000SR01.htm (this is the only Word to say "network adapter" with a yellow exclamation point).

  -Online someone knows when will be released Windows 7 drivers on the website?

  Hello

  Before you begin to install all drivers WLAN you can find on the Toshiba site you must make sure that wireless network card, you have exactly. You can check in the Device Manager-online properties-online Details of the local network adapter device.
  Need you an information like PCI\VEN_XXXX & DEV_XXXX

  If you have based this information you are looking for with these terms on this site in order to determine the exact WLAN card:
  http://www.PCIDatabase.com/

  After that, you can download the driver appropriate for your laptop. Before installing, you must uninstall all other versions and restart the laptop.
  Also, make sure that the WIFI is enabled with the hardware switch and FN + F8.

• 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 Pro A660 - wireless network adapter issues

  Hi guys hope you can help!

  I have a Satellite Pro A660 - 11 M Windows 7-64 bit

  The wireless network adapter does not work...

  I tried to reinstall the bios and the driver wireless.

  The wireless button is lit to Yes as the key Fn + F8 doesn't show not relevant wifi is turned on/off as usual!
  It shows also in the Device Manager and BIOS.
  Is there something I missed? Or is it a faulty card?

  Hello

  > It shows also in the Device Manager and BIOS.

  First of all, you won't find any WLan entries in the BIOS.
  But you should see the local network card in Device Manager.
  If good WLan driver has been installed, the local network adapter device should appear in devices-> network cards Manager.

  If WLan driver has not been installed properly, you'd still see an entry under network adapters, but it should appear as unknown device or Ethernet controller.
  You can this inscription?

  In addition, the WLan driver was released on the Toshiba UE driver page.
  The question is; have you chosen the right Wlan driver.
  As much as I know that the laptop supports the BROADCOM 802.11(B/G/N) BCM94313 WLan card and, as a result, Broadcom Wlan driver should be used.

• Satellite L300-2This - wireless network adapter is not listed in Device Manager

  PL. seated me in solving the WIFI issue in my newly purchased Toshiba Satellite L300-2This (PSLBGE 020004AR)

  1. me confirm - this model is equipped with WIFI as shown in the Web of Toshiba site but my device manager it is not displayed at all. (using Windows XP)-its only display Realteck LAN

  2. I installed the drivers from the site web of Toshiba - but always hardware WIFI not be picked up by any driver. Device Manager showing that a single 'Ethernet LAN' not installed-may be it is the WIFI card but once again on three pilots (real teak/intel/Ac..). which is the right selection computer-based laptop model No.? as none does not detect the hardware.

  3. confirm me - this model is NOT - equipped also BluTooth?

  Appreciate the quick response in this regard.

  Violaine Asim

  Hi mate,

  Just a simple question: have you activated the wireless network adapter using the hardware on the computer switch portable and key combination FN + F8?

  Satellite L300 is permanently equipped with wireless network card because a friend of mine had the same specifications.

  However, you should try to update the WLAN driver. Check the download page of the Toshiba driver for an update.

• Wireless network adapter does not work on my Satellite A200

  Hello

  My wireless network adapter does not work under Vista. If I press FN + F8 nothing happens. Wireless communication is always offline.

  What can I do?

  Details:
  Typ: Atheros AR5008X Version: 7.2.0.164
  Laptop Satellite 200
  PSAE6E

  Please help me!
  Thanks in advance!

  BIOS bug? I don t think so

  First of all, you must make sure that this isn't a hardware problem. In this case, insert the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall the operating system of this device. This will outline the laptop to factory settings. Notes; This would format the whole HARD drive.

  After the new installation, you must activate the WLan switch on the side of books, and you can then use the switch button FN + F8 to select the WiFi network.

  I assume that you have already configured your Wlan router. So the same settings such as the SSID, encryption of WLan, etc. must be defined on the laptop too.

• Satellite L - had wireless network adapter

  Unable to get a wireless connection. I checked in the Device Manager and the Realtek wireless network adapter had disappeared. Had already tried to update the driver, but I guess if the unit isn't here, he doesn't want a driver.

  Found one (I mean heritage?) Wireless network adapter Realtek by doing something that I don't really know anymore, but that doesn't seem to work and will not be an update of the driver. In addition, my USB ports do not seem to work; "does not recognize USB devices", so the wireless mouse does not work and now my DVD player does not read DVD, however seems to read CDs.

  All of these flaws could be connected in a very simple way I have not discovered yet? My computer is virtually unusable. He sends me crazy. I checked the updates of Windows and made only Toshiba many downloads etc. as I can for the last 2 years but nothing seems to work.

  Really really welcome ideas. It works on Vista.
  Thank you very much

  Hi bonce,.

  > have done as much as possible etc Toshiba downloads I can for the last 2 years
  And now you have a confused until the Windows installation where nothing works correctly of course if something doesn t work correctly you can take a driver update, but stop just install what you find. In the end, nothing will work, and your only option is to reinstall Windows because you are not able to remove all of these drivers. If you install or update a driver you really should know what you're doing!

  Anyway, if you still use the startup of the operating system pre-installed drive HARD or Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. This will restore the original with all the drivers and tools settings. Your laptop will be working properly after that.

  This is an accurate description on HARD drive recovery:

• Satellite L750D-159: different problems: wireless network adapter, freezes, power

  Hi all

  2.5 years ago I bought L-750d-159:
  Video: AMD Radeon HD 6520G (TM)
  Wireless: Atheros AR9002WB-1NG wireless network adapter
  CPU: AMD A6 - 3400 M APU with graphics Radeon (TM) HD
  RAM: 4 GB
  OS: Windows 7 Home Edition SP1, 64-bit.
  BIOS: 2.1

  For the majority of the last 2.5 years I had the same questions, alternating between them over and over again without solution in sight.

  Repetition of questions: *.
  1. wireless adapter goes dead, no help of the troubleshooter in windows. Only restart help to, rarely he demans restart another. at the same time #2 arrives:

  2. cannot read USB (IE external HARD disk). allows you to restart.

  3. wireless mouse does not respond. Randomly, reset help.

  4 gel. Sometimes, when there is nothing running in the background. Of course, hard restart (only power button)

  5. office freeze.not always, but if he gets in the mood, he could go the days where minutes after I start the 'word' it would just freeze. Hard reset again.

  6. "atikmpag' blue screen. After not having it for a long time, I started just have it again.

  7 power supply and battery issues:

  7.1 with battery:
  Suddenly load stops. disconnect and reconnect do not help.
  Fresh only when the computer is turned off.

  7.2 without battery:
  Instant stop. Usually when you use Chrome.

  These issues are alternating, everyday sense I get something else, without a prescription for them that I noticed.

  * How to try to remedy: *.
  1. updated all the drivers for the toshiba page.
  [Page drivers Toshiba | http://www.toshiba.co.il/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]

  2. update the BIOS. I do this cotton after having feeding problems, not so useful.

  3. formatting and reinsalled Windows 7 to factory settings.

  I am sure that there is a solution out there, the computer itself works fine for me (when it works) and I will not buy a new one, until it falls dead (I could give a year or two).

  Are you guys famliar with these questions?

  Here are the proven solutions for this model?

  > 1. Wireless adapter goes dead, no help of the troubleshooter in windows. Only restart help to, rarely he demans restart another.

  WLan problems could appear for different reasons. I don t think that it is a WLan driver problem. I think that you should just check the WiFi configuration.
  For example, you should check whether changing the WiFi 1-11 channel would improve performance. Also change the settings for encryption (WPA/WP2-AES, TKIP) is worth trying.
  Turn off all the settings for the WLan to save energy and check if there is a difference if you turn off the WLan mouse.

  > 2. Cannot read USB (IE external HARD disk). allows you to restart.
  Also the issue of USB can be related to energy saving settings.
  In the Device Manager-> USB Controllers-> properties-> tab power management option that allows the system to power off the device to save power.

  > blue screen "atikmpag. After not having it for a long time, I started just have it again.
  This file/process is tied to the ATI graphics card. Try to use the latest graphics card driver. An update is recommended in this case.

  Battery issues:
  Well, sooner or later each battery must be replaced. I put t know if your battery is malfunctioning but probably new battery would help to resolve the issue
  In addition, to remove and uninstall the device control method battery Microsoft acpi located in Device Manager.

• Satellite U50D-A - need wireless network adapter driver

  I have a Qualcomm Atheros AR956x wireless network adapter
  status "this device cannot start (code 10)" exclamation mark = in side of the yellow triangle
  so no wireless
  OK Ethernet
  Impossible to update via MS suspect this could cause problem in the first place

  tried to download from toshiba, but same website
  tried to uninstall even
  tried the 3rd driver manager advantage but only to see mobile as U500 not U50 (no provision)
  Driver details
  athwbx.sys file worm 10.0.0.301 latest version (looked in the sys32/victory/drivers date modified 17/10/14? 4.03 MB?) I think that download was 39 MB)
  vwifibus.sys worm 6.3.9600.16384 file

  I guess I could remove old and copy new download in one place
  I was wondering if anyone has had the similar problem

  Any help appreciated

  Thank you

  I found the page sheet of laptop here:
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/products...specifications

  But unfortunately, the page provides no details on the integrated WLan module.

  However, all the drivers are available here:
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/...download?OS=32
  and the Atheros WLan driver win 8.1 has the version number: 10.0.0.308

• Satellite L50D-B-146 - wireless network adapter drops the Wi - Fi connection

  Hi all

  I have a problem with the wireless (Broadcom adapter) card, it randomly falls free wifi for no apparent reason (I disabled the modules breast win 7 energy saving etc).

  Running the diagnostics of material in the latest Toshiba/Broadcom driver package has given everything going on with the exception of the SPROM checksum failure.

  Is this a sign of faulty hardware? is it possible to reflash the SPROM with the correct data?

  Thanks a lot for all helo,.

  Cooktop

  > Is this a sign of faulty hardware? is it possible to reflash the SPROM with the correct data?
  I think you're on the wrong track
  If the wireless network adapter is listed and recognized correctly in Device Manager, then the WLan driver has been installed correctly.

  The sporadic WLan disconnection problems could be related to different reasons that are:
  WLan router compatibility problem
  Configuration of the router (kind of encryption WPA WPA2, TKIP, AES)
  WiFi signal strength

  I recommend you to reset the Wlan router.
  Then you test the performance of Wlan using unsecured wireless (of course only for testing purposes)
  Then test the different encryption settings.
  Also test the laptop with or without the power adapter connected.

  Hello

  The wireless network card is listed in the device under network adapters Manager?

• Atheros AR5004G wireless network adapter

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite P30 Bios version 1.30, XP SP2, and I've been very happy with it until recently.

  Since a few weeks I meet from time to time system crash, the computer crashes: does not react on the keyboard, screen freezes and only by pressing the power button for 30 seconds for a total power down allows. Fans spin again. Sometimes, after a such restart on diagnosis (before Windows starts) display the following message can be read: resource conflict - PCI network in the Groove 3 controller. Bus: 02; Feature: 02; Function: 00.
  It is the only PCI card that has my system.

  There was no material added to the system, the message is quite strange. Wait a few minutes and turn it back on it cause do not receive this message. Also helps dismantle the card wireless built-in, wait a second and mount it again.

  When I use the computer connected to the LAN via a network cable, while radio signals are turned off, the problem not more occurs. When I disable the Atheros AR5004G Wireless Network Adapter in Windows, the problem is not to be produced.

  There is no message in the event viewer.

  I do not use recovery Toshiba OS, but Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 installed by our system administrator. The same Setup worked without a problem for about 3 months. After that I met the problem I tried to reinstall the drivers and software for the network adapter wireless since the original CD from Toshiba, but not helped.

  I use the Atheros Client Utility version 3.1.2.19
  Version of the driver name AR5211, C:\Windows\system32\drivers\ar5211.sys, 3.1.2.12.

  I saw another user, peter-jaap mentioned on this forum a few weeks earlier the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Laszlo

  Hi Laszlo

  In my opinion, there is a hardware conflict. You said that you have this problem for a few weeks. Do you have some changes or install software? This laptop comes with Windows XP SP2 home edition, and all the drivers that you have on CD tools & utilities are fit to work properly with SP2.

  It's very strange that for awhile in particular this issue occurred. If you disable the network adapter in Device Manager you can use the card wireless without problems?

  All drivers and tools on the recovery CD are adapted to work correctly with the laptop and it can sometimes be a big problem to prepare the laptop on your own with some specific configuration. In my opinion if there is no solution to your problem, you must contact partner in your country.
