Satellite Pro L20: WLan connection is limited to 5 meters

Hello
My Satelite Pro L20 is connected to the Orange livebox, but cannot go further than 5 meters and disconnected. Any help?

Hello

One question;
Where is placed the WLan router?
In the same room you book or are the walls between the router and the wireless network card.

Sometimes, this could be a reason for a lower range of WLan.
But we must try first of all to enable full implementation of card WLan.

Please enter the WLan card properties. (Device Manager-> right click on the WLan card-> properties)
There you can select the Advanced tab. You should see the power of the economy option of-> please turn it off.
In addition, you should find there more options that could increase the range of WLan and performance. Please check.

Of course a new version of the wireless network card could also improve the performance of the WLan card.
I m not sure what card have you use but please consult the WLan and Toshiba card manufacturing site.

  • Satellite Pro L20: Wireless connection is not reliable

    Hello

    We have some Toshiba laptops in the office.

    However, the wireless on our most recent purchase (Satellite Pro L20) installation is very reliable. Periodically he loses sight of the network without apparent reason.

    We have the device permanently connected, and the problem can occur even when the machine is in the middle of copying files to and from the network server.

    The actual wireless access point is within a few feet of distance (in view), so I can't imagine there is a problem of signal strength. Can anyone offer me any guidance?

    I don't know where to start on this one there...

  • Satellite Pro M50: WLan connection after 10 min lost IP address

    I just bought a Satellite Pro M50.
    I can connect to the router using Congfigfree OK, but after 10 minutes or if she loses IP etc.

    This continues every 10 minutes approximately.

    Hello

    Thanks for the information updated and nice that it works.
    As far as I know, this option is enabled in power safe during work only with batteries.
    But for better performance of Wlan this sure option should be disabled.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - WLAN connection stopped working

    FN + 8 indicates that the wireless is as shown in the icon but suddenly tonight the connection failed while I was looking through internet and I can't get it back.

    I have reset the modem - the laptop is connected by ethernet cable to a modem, even with a good connection. The laptop is around the age of 16 months and is currently running Windows 7 Pro. I've updated all the drivers tonight, but even if it is 'on', it does not work.

    The usb wireless modem will dig tomorrow, but I wonder if the card has abandoned :(

    Everything is possible. Wireless network card appears correctly in the Device Manager?

    In any case if you can use the WLAN USB stick it will be probably easier and quicker solution for you.

  • Reinstalled Windows XP now WLAN is not recognized - Satellite Pro L20

    I reinstalled Windows XP on my Satellite Pro L20.

    In Device Manager, I have a number of yellow question marks, which means that the operating system has not installed the drivers and therefore does not recognize the device.

    I downloaded the v5.3.0.35 Atheros Wireless Lan Driver Atheros dated 09/12/07 and tried to install these next to the 'Network controller' device, but nothing helped.

    Someone has an idea of what I might hurt or something else I could try? Sole purpose of the laptop is wireless connectivity, so I'm anxious to get this sort.

    Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

    Hello Thomas

    It will be interesting to know what L20 you exactly (L20 - xxx). It will be easier to identify what material is built into it.

    Anyway, as far as I know this laptop comes with operating system Windows XP Home edition and will be best solution to install using the supplied OS recovery media. The OS will be installed just after 20 minutes and all the hardware components are configured correctly.

    Of course, you install OS on your own. On the download page of Toshiba just follow instructions order facilities and avoid all the problems.

    Back to the Atheros WLAN card. After you download the driver Atheros for Windows XP Home edition, open the folder INSTALL and run the setup.exe file. What happens when you do this?

  • Satellite Pro L20: battery not charge when the power adapter is connected

    Hello

    all advice appreciated.

    I had a Satellite Pro L20 for about 18 months. Recently, battery does not charge when the power adapter is connected. The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile. However the ACPI often said that AC is "offline."

    There are two recent occurrences that coincide with this problem, I try to eliminate:

    1. my friends rat chewed by the feeder for pets! Power is Mobile OK insofar as he fled sector - the rat seems to have simply chewed by the outer cover (I see some threads, but I think that is just a shield, although I'm not an electrician).

    2. I put the laptop in hibernation for the first time. That seemed to mess up the system a bit, which was what initially drew my attention to the problem. This question is a bit complicated because I'm under Linux (Xubuntu).

    I updated the drivers etc from windows when I bought the laptop. Never had any problems until now and have been running linux for centuries. Also, I have mainly the laptop the power supply turned off, but do not remove the battery (is that really a problem these days?)

    I obviously need to replace the adapter, but is - it is likely (and how I can check) that the battery was borked until?

    see you soon
    Chris

    First, please check if the other are lit.
    If the AC led and power led are on the adapter sector is ok and it provides the power to the laptop.

    > The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile
    If the battery LED is yellow, this means that the battery is not fully charged and if the Green led changes then recharging is caught and the battery has been recharged.

    So I really don t see any problems with the charge process.

    Maybe the battery is old and so you cannot use it for an extended in such a case only the replacement of the battery could help.

  • Satellite Pro L20 PSL25E - where can I find the driver WLan?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 - PSL25E 00G019GR and I am trying to install the wireless card.
    Where can I get the software/driver?
    I can't find these (for Windows XP) in the download area.

    The wireless device is turned on, but I don't see the icon in the network environment.
    So, what should I do?

    Thanks for your help.

    Michael

    > The wireless device is turned on, but I don't see the icon in the network environment.
    Are you sure that the laptop is equipped with wireless network card?

    AFAIK the L20 Pro Sam is an older model laptop and L20 not all were equipped with internal WLan module even if the WLan switch is available.

    You should check if the wireless network adapter is listed in the device under network adapters Manager.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - cannot get WLAN to work

    Hello

    I have problems with my Satellite Pro L20 after a reinstallation. The wifi does not work.
    I installed the right driver, but have had no luck.
    Anyone with the same problem?

    Any help would be great

    You reinstall your laptop computer with the recovery disc or Microsoft?

    Do you have which driver installed?
    You must use the driver from the Web from Toshiba site. Check again:

    Perhaps a BIOS might also solve the problem.

  • Cannot get wireless with my Satellite Pro L20

    My Satellite Pro L20 simply does not recognize my wireless network at home - he can't even see when I search for wireless networks. With my other non-Toshiba laptop on - there was no problem and that captures wireless 4 or 5 in my neighborhood.

    My Tosh works well when he hard plugged on the Net, but if you help get me wireless I would appreciate.

    Are you sure that your laptop is an installation of a WLan minPCI card?
    You can check this in the device under network adapters Manager

    If the wireless network adapter is listed in the device manager then you should check the compatibility of the WLan standards.
    If the wireless network adapter supports only the 802. 11 G standard and your router supports only 802.11 A or 802.11 standard B then you will not be able to connect to the WLan router.

    Hello

    Eventually the large amount of data that occurs during the influences of P2P file sharing or Skype session of the internet connection.

    Sometimes this question is displayed on my laptop if 2 or three laptops are connected to the same router.

    However, have you tried a few solutions stallions like WLan driver updated for example?

    Please check the Toshiba Wlan portal and install the latest version of the driver:

    Hello Constantin

    The answer is that no, it is not possible to replace the processor in a Toshiba laptop. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation.

  • Beep on Satellite Pro L20

    You just bought a new Satellite Pro L20 PSL25E-00K00CEN, less than 12 days old. He had these recurring short beep (1-2 sec), perhaps that every 20 minutes then maybe every hour. But no notification of what the beep wasn't on. Laptop works on current electric.

    No external device connected or disconnected. None of the obvious reasons. Beeps occur if I'm working on the laptop or not.
    Would be very grateful if anyone has similar problems and solutions?

    I even turned off "sound and notification" of the Panel, but never stopped beeping!

    Hello

    I don't know what could be the noise.
    The fact is that the beep occurs during the computer laptop startup procedure. It is usually a beep code. But this should not appear in the operating system and if the unit is running.
    However, this seems very strange. Your laptop is fairly new and the warranty is valid. You should ask the Toshiba service partner for review. Maybe he knows more about this strange event.

    Please post again if you will get more information.

  • Satellite Pro L20 does not start

    the thing is since the first time I tried to start it it would not start.

  • Cannot charge battery on my Satellite Pro L20

    I have a satellite Pro L20 and I can't charge my battery why? Is there someone for help please?

    Hello

    Why? It is not easy to say, but it may be because of the faulty electronic power.

    Remove the battery, connect the laptop to the power adapter and switch it on. When the operating system starts, put the battery inside and let us know exactly what is happening.

    It will be interesting to know if the battery is correctly recognized and what's with battery LED.
