Satellite T130-17F - upgrade to the Mini-PCI Wireless card

Card WiFi in Satellite T130-17F doesn't support the 802. 11A / 5 GHz. I would like to replace it with one that is supported. Is this possible? If so, are there any documents that show how do?

Thanks in advance, Igor Bukanov

Hi mate

Usually the laptop supports WLan miniPCI module. This means that usually the other WLan miniPCI cards should work, but I read also here in the forum that it is not always the case and sometimes other WLan miniPCI card would not me recognized correctly.

But why you try n t a simple solution like a USB WLan stick?
It is the simpler and in my opinion the best solution for you.
You will not need to disassemble the laptop. This means that there is no risk of damage and the warranty

That's why I recommend you try this solution.

  • Satellite Pro M10 - location of the mini-pci slot?

    Hello

    I have a M10 Pro of the Satellite with a mini-PCI Intel Pro 2100. Now, I wanted to put in a new card, but I can't find the mini-pci slot? I opened all the way down, but there nothing. Where is it located and what is the best way to open the laptop? I guess a lot of screws must come out...

    Hello

    Well, as far as I know the mini-PCI card is under the keyboard. In this case, you will need to remove the unit covers. But if you open Notepad, you will lose the warranty.
    In my opinion, you should contact the ASP for help and detailed descriptions.

  • Install the Mini PCI wireless network card. Need help!

    Hello
    I have laptop Toshiba 5200-701 which is upgradble of wireless network, so I bought the mini PCI card Philips wireless brand. The reference is PH12127-E/PH11107-E and support 802.11a/b/g network address MAC 00 4F 05 43 88 F4.

    Thank you very much.

    Moral salvation

    Well, in my opinion, you bought a bad wireless card. I don t think that your game can works with your device. Before you buy some hardware components, you need to check the compatibility of these parts. Toshiba service partners always have information about the units on the right. However, I found a wireless card that is compatible with your laptop. It's a PA3212U-1MPC.

  • East - the Pavilion 20 it be upgraded to the 5 GHz wireless card?

    The HP Pavilion 20 can be improved to support the 5 GHz wireless card?

    HP Pavilion 20-b010 all-in-One desktop computer
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03524659

    This computer has an integrated Ralink RT-5390 mini-map PCIe wireless.
    http://www.MediaTek.com/en/products/connectivity/WiFi/PC/PCIe/rt5390/
    This card is the only ONE BAND (2.4 GHz), supporting IEEE 802. 11 b, g and n

    IF you wish for the 5 GHz band,
    THEN BOTH devices must support the new IEEE 802.11ac Standard Dual-Band.

    FIRST, a wireless (WAP) access port or Wireless Router on your home network must be Dual-Band (IEEE 802.11ac).

    IF this equipment is provided (for rent) your provider of wireless Internet (ISP).
    THEN, you will need to work with them for this upgrade (may have fees $$).
    IF you have your wireless router, THEN it must support IEEE 802.11ac for the 5 GHz band.

    SECONDLY, your HP Pavilion 20-b010 all-in-One will require a new (replacement) wireless card and MAY require the replacement of the antenna (dual-band).

    The AC-7260 Intel Dual-Band with Bluetooth 4.0 is a topic highly IEEE 802.11ac compliant PCIe minicards.
    IF you only had previously not supported Bluetooth, THEN this additional feature is a BONUS.

  • Satellite P300-23F-mini-PCI Wireless card Replace?

    Question: would it be possible to replace the card of wireless mini-PCI Intel 5100AGN with version 4965AGN or 5300AGN?

    The thing is, recently I bought the Satellite P300-23F. Great laptop. Apart from one thing. I use the Intel 5100AGN wireless. Type of damage, the rest of the components used to build this laptop are high-end. I would have liked to see the 5300AGN of even the old 4965AGN adapter instead. These are both a bit more expensive, but still on the market for the price difference is a simple slice of $20. The 5100AGN TX is only 150 Mbit, which is half as fast as the two other Intel wireless modules. In general, a lot of people seem to have problems with the 5100AGN, seems to be a troublesome product altogether.

    Performance of the real world of the 5100AGN on a Linksys WRT54G is around 15 Mbps (1, 8 MB/s). My other computer laptop, equipped with a 4965AGN will be double that in the same circumstances. Tried all the drivers I could find, but the above values are the best I can get.

  • Upgrade of the HP-7260he wireless card

    I currently have the Ralink RT5390 stock wifi card on my HP 7260he 8 64-bit Windows running, and really, I don't like it and am wanting to switch to something like the

    Is it possible, or should I just stay with the card stock wifi?

    Thanks in advance.

    At some point in the recent past, HP dropped the dreaded wifi Whitelist. Exactly when and on which models we know. Yours may or may not have a white list. Your complete model is Envy dv6-7260he, by the way.

    It is the only card dual-band capable of 5 GHz that will work without a doubt, even with the white list. It is a very good card:

    Module Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230 WLAN 670691-001

    Here, it's on eBay for about $5:

    You can be our Guinea pig and try the 802.11ac card and let us know if the system starts or if you get the message 'unsupported wireless. You will get all advanatage go AC card without a router AC and even the map above won't help you unless you have a N wireless router broadband 5 GHz. Only bluetooth combo cards that are certainly on the whitelist are 1 x 1 (2.4 ghz only), but people, this would be the best:

  • Startup gets "Network cable unplugged" on mini-PCI Wireless card

    I recently installed a Netgear DG834GT wireless router and now have intermittent problems connecting my Tecra 9100. If the 9100 has been off for awhile (like overnight), when I restart I get always "Network cable unplugged" for the wireless connection. Reboot several times (anything from 3 upwards) I finally get connected to the router and everything then works fine for hours. Even a quick restart at this point (that is, once that the wireless adapter is connected) does not cause a problem, but as soon as I leave the stop of the machine during a time he fails again on restart.

    There are no errors in the event log.

    I am using wireless mini-PCI cards and have already updated to the latest version of the driver.

    Any ideas gratefully received, for now every morning is a 20 to 30 minutes of rebooting frustration trying to get my connection work.

    (Running Win2K professional)

    Hello

    As far as I know, the unplugged network cable message just for LAN (Local Area connection-LAN) and not wireless.

    If you want to check this map to disable LAN in Device Manager. After starting the laptop turn on the wireless card, check the status using the FN + F8 key combination. Wi - Fi is activated after a short time, you should be able to use your wireless network.

    You can enable the option Show icon in notification area when connected. You can find it in the properties of wireless under the general tab.

  • Need advice for the purchase of a mini PCI Wireless

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba I bought nearly two years ago. This laptop has an Intel 2200BG wireless chipset, which works, but the quality of connection is quite low. Sometimes, the connection speed climbs, sometimes it falls in total. I tried all the updates driver, power management tips and everything that could be found on the net. Some of these help, but there is always something that doesn't work as it should.

    Long story short, I decided to buy a mini pci wireless card. The problem is that these cards are nowhere to find. There is nothing on the Toshiba site, and apart from a few offers on eBay, there is almost nothing to choose. I know there are other options, but I prefer a mini pci card.

    Can someone help me on this issue?

    Thank you

    Peter.

    Hi Peter

    Can you please tell us which laptop model you have?

    In any case, the network without WIRE Intel 2200BG card is good enough and works very well on my Satellite M70 (with the latest driver). Download speed is very good and I do not need a wireless network card. I don't know what is the problem with WLAN connection in your case, but please try to test with another router WLAN (maybe your friends have all other routers). Also, install the latest WLAN driver for this card.

  • Installation of a missing mini PCI WiFi card in the Satellite 2450 101?

    My Satellite s2450-101 seems devoid of a WiFi card.

    There is no mention of such a card in the adapters in device Manager\Network, which lists the following three elements: 1) 1394 Net adapter MAC bridge Miniport) 2 and 3) Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC

    By pressing Fn + F8, that should turn the wireless LAN has no effect.

    Responses to the following would be much appreciated:

    The laptop S2450-101 comes equipped with a mini PCI WiFi card in standard, or not?

    If so, how can it be activated?

    If it is not the case, how can we install such a mini-PCI card? The laptop is more two years and more under warranty.

    Sincere thanks.

    Hello

    I found the info that this unit is ready WLAN and is attributed to the WLAN option in option. Check please the Device Manager and see if the wireless adapter is listed under network adapter. If this is not the case, the device is without wireless network card.

    Let us know if the card is on board and we can write once again how the card must be activated.

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the WLAN slot is placed under the keyboard. There is also the antenna cables (black and white cable). Update is not a problem, and you can only do so at your own risk of course. ;)

    Unfortunately I put t know exactly what WLAN card is compatible. If you want you can use the external solution. It is much easier.

    Hello

    I'm trying to upgrade Satellite S-1800-452nd wirelles LAN mini PCI card for WPA. Is there a solution?

    Best regards, Joze

    Hello

    You can change the settings in the properties of the wireless network.
    In the wireless tab, you can choose the network and press properties.
    There, it should be possible to set the wireless network key.

    In my opinion, if the card wireless doesn t support the WPA if you need other maps.
