Satellite P745-S4217: no WLan connection if 10 to 12 feet of router

Hello world!

I have a problem with my wify conecction.
When Im near the router, the conecction wifi works perfectly, I get a full wifi indicator on windows and I have no trouble surfing the web.

But when I move 10 or 12 feet away from the router, although the wifi indicator gets three or four cover bands, my laptop can't do the conection.

It's weird, because my ipod works perfect and other laptops also.

Hope I explained it correctly.

I tried the latest version of the driver but that does not solve the problem, I have change some settings of power, but that it does not either.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance...

Hello

The laptop seems to be a series Toshiba US.,.
I found this series here:
[Satellite P745-S4217 | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=3025538& rpn = PSMQ1U & modelFilter = P745-S4217 & SelCategorie = 2756709 & selFamily = 1073768663]

May I ask what you have the WLan card?
As far as I know similar issue is resolved by upgrading the driver.
Maybe not used the latest Wlan driver available?

PS: have you noticed the problem even if the laptop is connected to the adapter?

    Help! WiFi lost after upgrading to windows on my SATELLITE of P745-S4217 10

    Drivers have installed successfully but when I troubleshoot, windows tells me wireless capability is turned off

    I search on the net, but still no solution to my wireless connection interruption

    Any help will be appreciated thanks

    Hello

    In the past, you need to turn on the WiFi using the FN keys, but I think that this should not be necessary to help to win 10.

    In any case, I think that you must connect to the laptop to the internet using LAN cable.
    Then, you must uninstall the WLan Device Manager driver.
    After that, restart the laptop in order to win 10 to select the Wlan driver automatically.

    As far as I know that Win 10 must check for new drivers available WLan and in the best of cases after the update, the WiFi connection should work again.

    Hi Graham

    It will be interesting to know what model of Satellite has your customer (L10 - xxx). It is possible that the device has no wireless network card onboard. Please check the underside of the laptop. Usually, there must be a small label WLAN.

    If the device has a wireless network card which should also be listed in the device under network adapters Manager.

  • Satellite Pro L300-156 - WLAN connection drops every 12 hours

    Hello!

    I have a short model "Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-156" (PSLB1E).

    The system state is:

    I used the recovery CD (to install Windows XP and other software on this CD).
    I've upgraded to the latest version of the BIOS (1.50, 10/07/2008) for my laptop and I downloaded all updates for Windows XP.
    I installed the latest WLAN driver for my WIFI (Realtek RTL8187B) card.

    The problem is still there:
    Every 12 hours (exactly on the minute!) drops connections.
    Not only the Internet, but the local connection.
    It is even a kind of matrices.

    Both a connection to a local computer and "mIRC" (ssh/telnet-program) to "PuTTY" (program-chat-IRC) says "network error caused abortion of software".

    These ping connections not, they die instantly in a tenth of a second.

    Hello

    I guess it can be caused by a 3rd third party tool that was installed on your laptop.

    I mean it of really strange that disconnected EXCATLY after 12 hours of use.

    "I have goggled a bit for the message: network error: Software caused connection abort."
    And found that this error is displayed if the Windows network code decides that your network connection is dead. This will happen when you remove the cable network Ethernet-connected computer, or if Windows has any other reason to believe the entire network has become unreachable.

    I think you should check the settings of your WLan router. My router refresh / disconnects after 23,59 hours to ensure that the IP address has changed.

  • C870-1F3 satellite - cannot use and WLan connection

    Hello

    My father had this laptop with windows 8 during about 6 to 8 weeks, everything was ok, but today it can not connect wireless at all, if I plug in the modem the internet works fine.

    I tried loo t to the net - and tried FN and F12 but no joy, I don't know what Dad has done,

    I know the macafee's exhausted recently will this affect anything.
    Told me one day a wireless switch might not be on, but I do not see a switch anywhere.

    can someone help?

    There is no other option to activate the Wlan with the exception of the pressing F12 (Fn + F12)
    But we must start with the basics:

    You must go to the Device Manager and check if the wireless network adapter is recognized in the list of available devices.
    If its recognized, this means that WLan driver is installed and working properly.
    If it is NOT recognized, you need to install the correct driver Wlan (located on the Toshiba UE driver page).

    After that, go to Control Panel - Network Sharing Center
    On the left you will see the option called manage wireless networks.
    Until it clicks. New window will open. Here you can see that all configured Wlan networks.
    In the event that your Wlan isn t listed, click Add and configure the right help WiFi network SSID, encryption, and password encryption. Even if the WiFi network is recognized, you can remove the Wlan and could run through the Setup again.

    I guess that the laptop disconnects using battery operation.
    I think you need to disable for the WLan to save energy.
    This is possible in the Windows 7 power management.

    Should do, and in addition, you can check the settings in-WLan card-> properties > Device Manager.
    There is an Advanced tab that contains a few options that could improve the performance of Wlan.

  • Satellite C660 WIFI does not connect with the channel 1 of the router

    Hello

    I have this problem for several months. I connect my laptop with the D - link DIR-615 as a WAP browser.

    I can't remember, but the fact is that I can't connect more with channel 1 of my WAP.
    Connection with the other channels is no problem.

    Other laptops or the available have no problem connecting to channel 1.
    He's tried a recovery, remove and reinstall the driver for my WIFI.

    All know what to watch?

    Kind regards

    Jacky Deschepper

    Where have you changed channels settings: within the router or the wireless network adapter?
    Is that it s any laptop you are using. It s always a matter of the WLan card that is integrated.

    Usually, you can change the Wlan card settings in the properties.
    Go to Device Manager-> Wlan card-> right click Properties-> Advanced tab
    Here, you would be able to change the available settings.

  • Satellite Pro L550 - Realtek RTL8191SE Wlan connection issues

    Hello

    Affected by a big problem with my WLAN connection which is ongoing for about a month.
    I have problems with a very inconsistent connection.

    To start, turn on the laptop of its climate 50-50 I'll successfully connect to my internet. Once connected I constantly disconnect and reconnect, never reached a point of stability, as long as possible without hitch is about 30 minutes, and after this point it will repeat the process above in one or two minutes, making it impossible internet usage.

    After following various checks, I can confirm that this is NOT a router problem:

    -Several other devices around the home connect without the same problem
    -Have you tried the reset and restarted both modem and router without result
    -Used new Ethernet cables and checked the other son of bends or damage
    -Tried to change the frequency of router and the channel for better connectivity with no result
    -Tried to change the location of the router, the closest pass to the laptop for a greater power of the signal without any positive results

    Whenever he logs off, I go through a laborious task repetitive troubleshooting and although sometimes it solves the problem, so that it does only temporarily.

    Updates on computer and controls are as follows:

    -Install the latest drivers for my network card
    -The latest version of the BIOS for my laptop
    -J' tried UN-installing software and remove driver in Device Manager in the case of a corrupted driver, after re-booting works temporarily and then breaks down in the first 5 minutes
    -Tried using windows troubleshooting, which sometimes displays a message on my gateway by default, I don't know what that means well as
    -Tried to use other means of verification, connectivity doctor etc., no results
    -Tried to reset network cards
    -Tried to use an earlier version of the network card to check if the new drivers were the problem - no result
    -Tried resetting IP addresses IP conflict with other devices in the House, no results
    -Played hundreds of reboots

    I would like to point out that when using the LAN on my laptop my connection is quite well and I have the experience without interruption, I have also contacted my ISP to ask if there is ongoing network maintenance tasks and check if the internet I receive is consistent.

    Computer laptop specifications: -.

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L550
    Network card: Realtek RTL8191SE
    OS: Windows 7 x32bit

    The whole process is infuriating and I am at my wits end as to what to do, is, fuck my network card?

    NB:

    This could be a problem as the dust inside my computer laptop on the map, causing interference?
    The problem is much more prolific when I use Skype - might be a bandwidth issue?

    Open to the suggestions of many, and any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    And all this occur with clean Windows 7 preinstalled that you got with your laptop (factory settings)?

  • Satellite A110-378 loses the WLan connection during downloads of big

    Hi all
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A110-378 series and a wireless network problem. The card is an Intel 3945abg. I can connect with the router ADSL (USR9106) with WPA security is enabled. I can navigate on the Internet, but for a large download (or shall file a copy) the connection stop responding. Windows still displays the connection, but after a few minutes I got an error message.

    To re - establish it, I need to 'fix' the connection. The driver is the latest in Intel, and I tried to disable the power settings. Seems that the problem is the same with my ethernet card (I'm the check).

    Any ideas?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Alex

    In my opinion, there is always possibility of losing the motivations and download WLAN connectivity more I prefer the LAN connection (sometimes runs during the night). Check this with connection to the local network, but perhaps is another side responsible for the interruption of the download.

  • Slow WLAN connect to the router - Satellite Pro A200

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 - after starting the laptop she used to find the router wireless in good time, but now it seems to have slowed on the right and it may take a few minutes until 1/2 hour phone to find the router!

    This doesn't seem to be a signal problem because when the router is found that I get a signal strength full 5 bars. Connection to the laptop the router with a cable shows that no problem also that the connection and internet access is no problem.

    I do not understand why the laptop won't find the router faster and you would appreciate the help in the understanding of the problem and how to resolve the situation.

    I don't have a lot of technical knowledge so please keep in mind when replying

    Thank you

    Hi Potter (maybe Harry?)  ;)

    You can easily find what WiFi card has been installed in your laptop.
    More details can be found in the *-> network adapters Device Manager *.
    Check this out and you'll know what driver WLan is required!

    _Regarding the question with your BIOS; _
    This error is known to me, always happens if you n t unpack the BIOS package correctly!

    What you need is a WinRAR or WinZip program.
    I prefer WinRAR and it helps to unpack all of the BIOS update.

    If you use the Vista operating system please check that another thread of forum on the same issue;
