Satellite Pro L300 - may not always connect to the same strong connection router

I currently have a Satellite Pro L300-155. At work, the WIFI signal is strong everywhere where I am in the building because we have 2 WIFI connections. However, I can connect okay in 1 room but if I just go in the other room, I'm unable to connect - and the connection is still strong. This also happens intermittently at home.
Is it of diagnostics that I can run on the Toshiba to test wifi?

Where can I find what chip it is? Where is the wifi location - on a motherboard, etc?
Can it be replaced and where I could quote from?

Thanks in advance

Hi cooky44,

In my opinion, you should update the routers firmware and update your WLAN driver.

Furthermore, I have created an interesting document on improvements to WLAN connection:

Also check the forum similar topics WLAN.

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start until after the update of the BIOS of 1.30 to 1.50

    Dear all,

    I have a Toshiba Satelklite Pro L300 and had no problem for the last 4 years. Last Monday, I replaced my hard drive with a new one and after installing a new copy of Windows XP Pro, I have downloaded all the drivers on the official site. After my last update, I have updated the BIOS to version 1.30 to 1.50. After a few seconds my laptop has rebooted and was not able to load Windows and / or recognize my new hard drive.

    I tried several methods, using safe, optimal Bios default etc but was unsuccessful. IO could not even re - install Windows as the hard drive is not being recognized by the laptop. I've formatted the HD again through my desktop Pc, but still have the same problem.

    I am really worried and would like immediate help!

    Best regards

    Engelbert

    What happen exactly when you turn on your laptop?

    Set the BIOS as deult and try to install the original recovery image that you got with your laptop. If everything works OK that means upgrading the disk HARD was a success and there is not a serious hardware problem.

    After this check, you can try again to install Windows XP Home edition.
    Please post comments.

  • Satellite Pro L300: Could not establish connection using WPA / WPA2-PSK

    Hello

    I have a Netgear FVG318 router with the new firmware and problems to connect using WPA-/ WPA2-PSK with Realtek RTL8187B integrated.

    With the help of WEP that works. I did a complete restore of Vista and installed SP1 + all Windows updates. No change...

    Then I tried using a Netgear USB WLAN Stick WPN111--> the same result, works only WEP.
    I rechecked the shared key before!
    After that I tried with a HP laptop, wonder... everything works! WEP, WPA / WPA2-PSK works! What do you mean?
    I think that there is a software problem in Toshiba-Vista version.

    Do you have any idea? The support has not helped me.

    Hello

    What you need to do is first of all update the WLan driver and if possible, you should check if the latest BIOS is installed too.
    I had similar problem on my A210 and all first I've updated the BIOS, then driver WLan.

    This helped to establish the WiFi connection.

    Hello!

    I m using a Satellite L300, which should be similar to yours and I peut t noticed this problem. WiFi works perfectly without any problems.

    In any case, I would recommend updating the driver WLAN and the BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:

    In addition, you run the factory settings or you have installed a different version of Windows?

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start

    I have a portable Satellite Pro L300 and he won't start (in other words the power button and not going not past the first screen).

    Works for keyboard, but F2, F8 or F12 will not do anything, I can't here the disk hard powerup but it's like no one is at home. I don't know if it's the motherboard or the onboard battery. The computer is about 7-8 years

    Can anyone help.

    It s certainly nothing wrong with a RTC battery (as you said internal battery).
    The RTC battery can be charged. The unit must be turned on and adapter must be connected at least for about 18 hours.
    But I guess that this isn't a problem.

    The laptop does not start because of a hardware malfunction, but it's hard to say what role may be affected. But you should absolutely consult the RAM modules.
    This should be the first step, since the RAM modules are easy to replace.

    All other parts should be checked by the type of service.

  • Satellite Pro L300-152 - unable to connect to TV, projector or a external monitor

    Hello
    Peuvent some please help?

    I bought a Satellite Pro L300-152, model without PSLB1E-01R015EN with Vista 32 bit a few months ago to replace an old Toshiba laptop not.

    The problem I have is that I can't connect external devices such as TV, projector, or a monitor.
    I used another laptop in the past with my TV and projector and have had no problems at all. I connected via the VGA port, as it is the only port with the exception of USB. Using a VGA cable, I tried all the settings that I have used in the past, but with no joy.
    I did the setting in the display settings and the FN + F5, but nothing comes up on the external screens except no signal.

    I tried to solve this problem for months and need help, please.

    Thank you

    > When I try to update the bios driver I get a message: insydeflash the virsion or ROM file is not newer than the version of the BIOS?

  • My new Satellite Pro L300 will not work

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 on eBay. I connected all the cables according to the installation guide. At first he asked my details, then I logged in and it went to a pages where he says he was preparing. Then I was sent to the newspaper in the section, and the same page appeared saying that he was preparing.

    After what happens about 5 times, he went to a black screen where the only thing I could see was my mouse cursor.

    I closed and restarted, I tried to go into the settings using F12. I was not able to work at all, no matter what I do.
    Unfortunately, I don't have a CD of the OS, but it was announced as having Vista as OS and have Microsoft Office Suite on him as a built-in wireless modem, so it was supposed to be ready just to turn it on. Well I can't even turn it on.

    What should I do? How should I do?

    At first, I must say that F12 has nothing to do with all the settings.
    At this point, I recommend using the new operating system installation using the HDD recovery procedure.
    How to proceed as a result of this document, you can find > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    When the OS is installed and started up properly first thing you need to do is to create the disc of recovery facilities. "You can do it using preinstalled" Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. The shortcut is placed on the desktop.

  • Satellite Pro L300 does not illuminate

    Hi all, I'm new to this forum.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 and I've had it for about 2 years.
    But yesterday I closed the laptop as usual. But later I went back to it and tried to turn it on. But it does not work. Instead, when I press the power button the LED next to the battery symbol flashes orange/orange 6 times and then turns off.

    Can someone tell me what it is? I tried to let it load, but that has not worked. The amber light is the only light that flashes. It does not recognize that I plugged in the charger and I don't think that the battery was flat. So I'm angry and helpless right now.

    Can someone help me please?

    See you soon.

    Hello

    There are several indicators;
    DC, while running, the main battery, LED HDD/ODD.
    So I guess the power LED flashes in orange. Right?
    This means that something was wrong on the motherboard.
    Maybe power supply electronic malfunctions

    In this case, there is no much to do only mobo replacement could help to...

  • Satellite Pro L300 will not start - cannot get into the BIOS

    Dear,

    I got a satellite Pro L300, width a HARD drive partitioned, with Win XP installed C and D with Windows 7 installed, the problem is the following:

    Days when I turned on my laptop, the OS splash screen appears, stop boot on Toshiba logo process.
    In addition, I can't enter the BIOS with the F2 key or the Boot Manager by using the F12 key.

    Help, please.

    > stop boot on Toshiba logo process
    This means that the laptop can not pass the POST (power on self test) properly and it would mean that a hardware problem has been detected on the motherboard.

    Remove one of the modules RAM (check both) and try to turn on using a single module of RAM.
    It is possible that one of the RAM modules is defective

    It would also be possible that the motherboard is malfunctioning, as you can see, it is hard to say what role could be wrong, but what looks like a serious hardware failure

  • Satellite Pro L300 1AD is unable to install the Windows XP display driver

    I just installed XP on my Satellite pro because my internet modem doesn't work with Vista.

    I went to the main site of Toshiba to install display drivers, but they moved it, it keeps bringing the message "this driver is not for this computer please contact manufacturer.

    I put t understand why because all the other drivers that I downloaded on the same work, it's just the display one page. Does anyone know what's wrong?

    You have downloaded the latest driver for Satellite Pro L300?
    On the Toshiba site it s version 6.14.10.4953.

    An alternative, you can try the drivers from Intel, but normally the Toshiba driver should work.
    I always use the driver from Toshiba and never had any problems.

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not supply power to the top

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A60 and when I turn on the machine, the lights come on and the fan whirls for about 5 seconds and then the machine just turns off again.

    No matter if I have the battery or HARD drive in or not, the same phenomenon occurs.
    I guess it's problem of CPU or power supply Board, but I don't know.
    Is there anyone else who has had this problem and if so how is it resolved?

    Any help would be appreciated very with gratitude that I am out of warranty and need the laptop when you work from home.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I guess it can be a single processor or card mother related issue.
    If there is something wrong with the power supply for laptop card then the cell phone would not turn on, even for 5 sec.

    But it's only my personal suggestion to make sure what's exactly wrong check specifications should be necessary.

    So I think that a laptop computer technician should check it out.
