    Hello

    For most Wlan issues are related to problems of compatibility between the wireless network card and the Wlan router.
    Sometimes the Wlan driver allows to obtain the best performance.
    So, try to update the WLan driver first. Maybe it helps.

  • For Satellite A70-S259 wireless connection does not work

    I started my laptop that worked just great for a long time and all of a sudden my wireless network card is not recognized. I have an Atheros Super G 802.11 wireless network adapter internal, to say my computer doesn't have a driver for! I check support.toshiba.com and re-installed all the drivers on the Wi - Fi or LAN. EVEN IF my internet connection works when I have an ethernet cable plugged into the laptop, I reinstalled both local network drivers.

    What is going on? How can I fix it? Anyone? In addition, I don't know if it will let know me when you have posted a reply, but my email is [email protected]. You can answer here as well, but please make the subject, "Toshiba", so I'm deleting it by mistake.

    Thank you

    Frustrated user

    So when you install the wireless LAN driver, it gives you an error Code?

    Have you installed the Wifi drivers other Toshiba? Perhaps another driver is in conflict.

    If the Wifi Toshiba driver does not install, there could be a registry problem or there is a problem in the WINDOWS\INF folder. You can try to move the INFs containing "OEM" in a temporary folder, then reinstall Wifi card.

    If you have not reinstalled windows for a long time, maybe its time to back up your data and start again, starting from your recovery CD. Windows can become bloated and corrupt over time. Personally, I reinstall Windows once a year.

  • Satellite T130 - WIRELESS Internet is not working properly in battery mode

    Hello

    I use the T130 through a WLAN 7270 of Fritz-Box network. If the T130 is powered everyting works fine. But if I remove the power connector and the T130 is operating on battery power, the internet connection is not working any longer or only very sporadically. If I reconnect the power supply and start the repair mode. Windows 7 detects the "Standardgateway is not available" and fix it and everything works fine.

    For the test, I have connected my other netbook via WiFi and everything worked fine. If the error is not on the side of Fritz-Box.

    What's not in battery mode?

    Hello

    For me that it sounds like it, it has something to do with the different for battery power options and mode of the AC adapter.

    On the Toshiba site I founded an article on power on Windows Management:

    It s even on Windows 7, please try to disable the WLAN Card on battery power saving mode.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - wireless adapter does not work - Vista

    I recently had some problems with my laptop.
    A couple of weeks, I put in a disc of OpenSuse.
    It's not stable anything, but locked me out of my original Vista operating system.

    I reinstallled Vista Home Basic, but there are a few problems.
    Mainly, my wireless adapter does not work.

    When I flip the button to turn it on nothing happens and it is not recognized in Windows.
    I installed Atheros Driver, but still nothing happens, light is not yet.

    Any advice?

    Hello

    First check the device-> network adapters area manager
    You see the WLan card? Or the unknown device appears?

    If there is an unknown device, then the WLan driver has not been installed correctly or you tried to install a driver badly these two options are possible.

    Remember that your wireless network card? Maybe it was a Realtek WLan card?

    If it's a Realtek WLan card, try the WLan driver from the Realtek website and look for 802.11 g (RTL8187B) chip or you will simply check the page of the European driver Toshiba too the Realtek WLan driver also appeared on the Toshiba page

  • Satellite P25-S520 - DVD player does not work properly

    Difficulty of DVD player or buy the external drive

    My DVD player does not work properly, in fact it can never work properly. Recently, I tried to back up my PC on a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize that the DVD was present. Then I tried to write a text file on a DVD and was a failure. DVD + R and DVD-R media were found to be (Maxwell 16 X).

    I could have probably lived with this however, I received a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my laptop nearby and it was recognized.

    An attempt to update the driver has also fails.

    I was able to copy a CD of music last night so that at least works properly.

    Does anyone know how can I fix? The important part is to be able to load my new program.

    Research on some forums I found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive can't be fixed, I'm not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately, where I live there is no brick and mortar stores selling external drives and I prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can someone suggest an external USB drive that will read and write CD and DVD and is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?

    Thanks for any help,

    Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.

    However, you won't be able to boot from CD (run recovery for example) If you are using an external drive.

    So, your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and request a quote.

  • Satellite M70: Command button keys do not work

    Currently I have reformatted my M70 to WinXp Pro Sp2, downloaded all the related TOSHIBA drivers and associated programs [IE. [Button control Toshiba driver / program] and the system's normal operation. However, the CONTROL BUTTON keys don't work, worked fine with XP Home edition and Win Media but when I called Toshiba support they could not help me because I had upgraded to Xp Pro. My Question is... Is there a fix or a solution to this problem and where I can download or find this fix.

    Thank you

    EMM

    Hello

    First of all, you should check your serial number because on the Toshiba driver page, you will find drivers for Satellite M70 PSM70 and PSM71.
    Secondly, it is very important that you need to install drivers in the correct order.
    On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the installation instructions.

    I also found a driver controls and controls on the page of the driver.
    I guess you have to install both applications. But if you follow the instructions everything works correctly.

  • Satellite M70-181: the wifi does not work

    Hello

    I'm in New Zealand at the moment and a fortnight ago, I changed my bios password but forgot it. To solve this problem I send the laptop to Toshiba in Christchurch and they reset for me. But since that day my wireless does not work. When I turn it on not even the light. Is not in one of the normal places (like in the network environment or how ever you call it).
    Would it be a problem with the hardware, and it is easy to fix by cause me I didn't have the waiting time until they do it again in Christchurch.

    Thanks for all the answers

    They could have damaged antenna card wifi inside your computer. If you have technical skills, you can fix it yourself, but if you don't just send the laptop back and let check them again.

    I install a good USB dongle known and tried all the foregoing the same I can instantly find the network cut and paste the password or type it in, it find instantly and the other around the street, but could not connect wireless connections, the icon in the task bar permanently a red x.

    If I can connect to the network I can put everything up. I have an XP, Office XP laptop and Vista DESKTOP base everything on laptop wireless WIFI on board, to an office on a dongle and the other with a PCI x 16 WI - FI card. on the laptop problem when you right-click the icon under display all connections, the status option is also low lit (can not select).
    It's like the driver is bad even if tosiba website says it's the right one to download when you fill out the form online, when you are looking there Web site for pilots.
    It's really annoying.

    Hello

    Satellite A100-549 PSAA4E was delivered with Atheros 11 b/g wireless network card.
    In this case the Atheros WLan client utility should be preinstalled on this OS.
    I advise to use this tool to configure WLan settings.

    In addition the wireless network card has been configured and set WLan channel 11. Please check if your router has been also on channel 11!

    I assume you are using the image of preinstalled Toshiba.
    This image contains the right WLan driver and usually the new installation is not necessary but if you are lloking for the new WLan driver I would recommend take a look here on this Toshiba WLan Center Portal:

  • Satellite P300D-110 integrated webcam does not work properly.

    Hi all

    as the title suggests, the webcam built-in in my Toshiba Satellite P300D-110 does not work correctly. Allow me to explain. Using the camera Assistance software I can take pictures and record music. If I try to record a video preview screen comes black and the end result on black, pitch black aswell tuns.

    Whenever I try to use my camera with applications such as MSN Live Messenger, Skype or on community websites, using Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari the app crashes.

    * How what happened? *

    You tell me. That's how it happened;
    * 1st day: I booted up my laptop and looked at my installation fresh and clean Windows vista Home premium. I tried my webcam using the webcam support software and it worked like a charm.
    * Day 2: once I start my laptop and try to start my webcam only to find out that he is no longer functions.
    To give a quick summary of the thread;

    Help of camera Assistance software provided by Toshiba, can I take pictures.
    Help of camera Assistance software provided by Toshiba, I can record the sound.
    Using camera Assistance software provided by Toshiba I can _ * NOT * _ save or preview of a video.
    * I can't start my camera using any other application such as, but not limited to; MSN Live Messenger, Skype, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safar.
    * I downloaded and isntalled the latest drivers on the Toshiba site.
    Portable listen is on a weekday.

    I'm not sure what more I can do, all I want is for the webcam works, if someone can help me please do.
    And if possible WITHOUT having to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium.
    I have not yet used and would not do as a solution to all the problems that might occur in the future.

    Sincerely,

    a sad customer.

    Camera Assistance software using provided by Toshiba I can't save or preview of a video.
    Can you please describe the steps how you try to do this? I have to ask you this question because it works fine on my laptop. When the recording is finished Player opens and you can see saved the film. This is the avi format and at the top of this player, you can see the path where the film is recorded.

    Strangest thing for me, is that you can not use it with Skype. OK for MSN is not perfect, but there is absolutely no problem with Skype. Make sure the settings and it should work somehow.

  • Satellite L840/03R - FN buttons does not work properly after Win 8 upgrade

    I bought a new L840/03R and installed Windows 8 using the Toshiba Upgrade Wizard. There is no error message.

    The function keys do not work with the CTRL and ALT keys So I can't use the shortcuts like ALT-F4 to close windows - which gives "second screen" options. It does this for F4 on its own, or by pressing CTRL, ALT or SHIFT key.

    In addition, F11 activates / deactivates sound we / off rather than go full screen in chrome. F12 allows flying mode instead of "Save as" in word.
    Just downloaded and installed the package of value added.

    Am I missing something really obvious?

    * Key change function in series Satellite and Qosmio 800 *.

    + New computers in the series 800 satellites only use the 'F' numbered keys without using the FN key to get the function. +
    + You can return to the traditional two keys FN key combination if you want by making a change in the BIOS or the HWSetup. +
