Satellite P20 & Orinoco card WiFi problems HELP?

I hope that one of the users on the Board of Directors may be able to advise me.

Details of hardware/software/Os & driver are listed below for reference.

Wired LAN works fine and connects to the small network of 10 Base T ethernet with Internet connection sharing. IP addresses are automatically assigned by DHCP on the gateway computer.

Problem is when I try to use or wireless LAN configuration to connect to an existing gateway used by two other laptops. Windows detects the device without problem but will age for the acquisition of the IP and advises when there is limited connectivity (fact ConfigFree). A connection is established and the signal strength is excellent but I am then unable to connect to the network via wireless connections or wired. The same problem arises even if I assign the IP address manually for the wireless card.

When I then disable the wireless card, then I can connect through the LAN port cable again.

I use Windows to configure the wireless card. The manual suggests using the Atheros Client Utility but all options on this are greyed out!

The details are as follows:

PC: Satellite P20-S103 Mod; PSP20E-00V7V-FR

OS: Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2

LAN card: Built in, identified by Windows as Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC driver 5.606.811.2003 Version

WiFi network card: integrated, identified by Windows as Orinoco PC Card Driver version Agere Systems 7.62.0.390 Mini

Wireless Access Point: 3Com 3CRWE747A 128 Client 802 network Type. 11 b = Infrastructure.

Atheros Client Utility: Build Sep 26 2003 Version 2.4.2.18

Hope you can help. Looking forward to you with suggestions.

Thank you

Graham

Hi Graham

In my opinion, it is not a big problem. In my opinion, you should try to disable an option in the tool ConfigFree. Please start ConfigFree and go to map of device settings. There you can find the background option called Enable Wireless when cabledisconnect occurs. Check if this option enabled. If so, disable it and try again to make the same connection.

I hope it helps.

  • Satellite P50T-B - speed WiFi problems

    So recently I bought this computer from future shop.
    It has the Intel Dual Band Wireless AC-3160 inside.
    I normally play with it, for example (LoL).

    Wifi works but the problem is that when I'm really close comes as 21 Mbps.

    But when I go upstairs to my room it drops to 8-10Mbps.
    I tried my old laptop and macbook the bot to move 18-20 Mbit/s.

    Please help me understand the issue here.
    I also can I return this either because its been more than 14 days.

    Obviously the speed WLan slowdowns because of the weakness of the WLan signal.

    Have you noticed this issue in the context of the power adapter (using the grid) or simply using the battery?

    To my knowledge this Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 supports the modes of energy during periods of activity and inactivity to improve the battery life. Maybe you should check this energy saving options and disable this for improving WLan performance.

    This wireless network card of new generation support two new WLan 802.11 standards also and C 802.11
    This standard provides considerably faster (up to 433 Mbit/S1) than 802.11n Wi - Fi connection speeds
    Of course, this requires the compatible WLan router.

    If your router does not support the C 802.11 standard, then you will be able to use the standard 802.11 only which is much slower.

  • Satellite A200-09V - card Wifi detected but never connected

    Hi all!

    First of all, sorry for my English... so be cool with me!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-09V so I change my router to a DLink with 802.11n. So I buy an internal wireless card but the card is correctly detected, but never whant to be 'connected '.

    The original card inside is an Intel 3945ABG.
    When I turn on my laptop, on the front of my laptop, I have a little orange light with a switch to cut the card.

    The card I buy is an Intel WiFi Link 5100 ABGN. But light, wathever I change the switch ON of OFF, again and always off the coast. Windows detects the card correctly and I install the right driver for intel, and in my equipment manager, the card is in the network card.

    But the map never want to get "online"... I can turn the card but I can not connect (so I do not see the wireless near me).

    I have the latest bios and driver... but it's like the laptop never 'talk' to the card and by the way, don't get pass the signal.

    But why XP detects the card but not get cards online? If the card was bundles, XP will never be able to "detect" the card and if XP correctly detects the card, it's as if the card is compatible with the motherboard? Isn't it?

    Thank you for helping be and I give you all the information you want...

    The network without WIRE Intel 3945ABG card only does support A, B or G standard and your router has N.

    So, you need to set the router to G standard or perhaps, you set up the router again to this standard and without security settings. It's the best way I think, and if it works, you can enable encryption and the security features more.

  • Satellite A200 - update card WiFi

    I have Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 MB PSAE0E with WiFI card 4965AGN.

    I want to change the old WiFi card with Intel N 6300, but when I insert the new card of the laptop does not work, at all. When I go back to the old, all right. What should I do to fix?

    Thanks in advance.

    > What should I do to fix?
    Maybe a stupid comment from me, but noting is broken and cannot be fixed. Problem is hardware compatibility. If some piece of hardware is not compatible, it will not work.

    As far as I know that these improvements are not supported by Toshiba and if you want to have fast WLAN connectivity and the most recent I recommend you use the USB (USB WLAN key) solution.

  • Satellite A100-259 (PSAA2E) WIFI problem

    Hi, I'm living for a few months in Paris, and I purchased a monthly subscription to a Wi - Fi network I get from the street somewhere (http://www.ozoneparis.net). Everything has been working well for 2-3 weeks, but a few days ago it stopped working. I am able to find the network, and I can connect. But when I type in an address in my browser, then it passes some time do nothing and told me then I probably typed in the wrong URL, or should I check my settings (the progress bar jumps to y the average rest for a while and then I get the error screen). I have not changed the settings, so this seems weird (I always use those I found here: http://www.ozoneparis.net/parametres.html). The last thing I did was a bit torrent software (which worked fine before), I left it on overnight, and then in the morning nothing worked.

    The strange thing is that LAN cable works fine (it is what I use now, at a friend's House), and I + can + use the Wi - Fi in the park nearby. But not Wi - Fi, I get in my apartment.

    Deactivation and activation of the connection don't work; Uninstall and reinstall the wireless card don't work; roll back the driver; I tried a bios update and the updated driver, did not work.

    I am running Windows XP, with an Atheros AR5005G Wireless Network Adapter.

    Help?
    I can't wait to put it back in to a repair shop, because my French is not very good, and I need the internet kind of MOMENT for an assignment, I'm working on.
    Thanks for any help!

    Ah, nevermind. It turned out to be a general failure on the network, so nothing was wrong with my computer. Thanks anyway!

  • Problem of graphics card on Satellite P20 552 & Qosmio G10

    Hallo,

    I have two 17-inch monitors computers laptop Toshiba as desktop replacement: 1 x Satellite P20 552 & 1 x Qosmio G10.
    Both are dead graphics card problem.
    The conclusion of my research on the WEB, it's the nVidia FX Go5700 card seems to be the weak point of these laptops.

    On the Satellite Map dies slowly: during startup Toshiba logo disappeared but WinXP logo was very good load, then WinXP loaded with the screen not refreshing and the problem of synchronization, etc..
    The Qosmio died suddenly: activities on the hard drive I guess load WinXP, but black screen (internal and external)!

    I know that, unlike the desktop computer, the graphics processor is not a separate entity; It is built into the motherboard. My questions are:

    (1) who should be blamed, Toshiba or Nvidia?
    (2) how to prevent premature rupture of the card/motherboard?
    (3) the card/motherboard could be repaired?

    Hallo

    I have red Satellite P20 304 and it still works well. Maybe you can offer this story to someone else, but I can say that Satellite P20 is great for laptop. I like it. Old, but still has an attractive design.
    If you have no luck I can understand it but to talk in general and write about weakness is for me nothing more than absurd.

    Nice questions here especially one. :)
    1 - to blame someone will help any. Try to get the replacement and get it working again.
    2. There is nothing you can do. All you can do is to take care of the use of the laptop and do not overheat.
    3. as far as I know that something like this is not possible. In this case the motherboard will be replaced.

    What you can do is to check eBay from time to time. You may be lucky and you can buy used motherboard for a good price and exchange it.

    Hello

    Satellite P20 S203 is certainly Wi - Fi level and according to the specification of Toshiba (at this time), you can use two compatible WIFI adapters:
    Wireless LAN card PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802. 11b) and PA3273U-2MPC (Atheros 802.11ab).

    The card you want to use is new product, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work. Just try everything and if there is a problem of compatibility you can return.
