Satellite U400 shows the weakness of the WLAN signal

Hello

I have a problem with the wireless issue, is my Toshiba Satellite U400 laptop and I have a Belkin router.
My laptop detects the router, but with a very small range, if I go to the kitchen, then he doesn t find my wireless router.
I always used to find and connect to my wireless router, but a few days ago, he started to happened this problem, even though I'm very close to the router it says still good signal it doesn't say perfect like this before.

Please help me what to do? All suggestions are welcome!

It is not easy to say why this is happening so suddenly. Have you done all that can be responsible for this? Update the BIOS or WLAN driver update, install Windows updates perhaps?

Have you tried to roll back the BONES to the bygone era where everything was OK?

  • Satellite L20-181: the WLan switch is not available - cannot activate the Wlan antenna

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L20-181 and I bought an Intel Mini PCI Wifi Pro/Wireless 2200BG so that I place it in the empty Mini PCI connector it has in order to have the wireless.

    While I placed it on a regular basis also antennas etc the Intel utility sends me a message that the network connection is disabled and that I should use the switch on the front panel of the laptop to turn it on.

    This switch located in the laptop from the front is a button that is not reinforced.

    Hello

    You may need to press the button?
    Also, I found a Satellite L20 manual on the Toshiba site and there I found information that the WLan functionality is not available on all models.

  • Satellite U400 - after the BIOS update I can't start Windows

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite U400, PSU44E and Win XP. After you have installed the new BIOS v. 3, 80-WIN32, it is not possible to start Windows, it always ends in restart. It is also not possible to reinstall Winsdows, as it always ends with the blue screen.

    Any help or suggestion?
    How can I install back my backup BIOS BACK?

    Hello

    Did you really choose the good BIOS for your laptop? Because on the Toshiba site Web are different models U400 has so you choose for PSU44E BIOS on Toshiba page?

    After the BIOS, you should load the default settings in the BIOS.
    Did you check that?

    A downgrade from the BIOS is not possible. This is possible only from an authorized service provider. So, you should contact them and ask a technician for help. I m sure they will help you. ;)

    Good bye

  • Satellite M30X-113: the Wlan card 2200BG is not compatible?

    Hello
    I want to replace an Intel PRO/Wireless 2000.
    The network adapter Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG with Satellite M30X-113 is compatible-so?

    Hello

    In my opinion, you can use the WLan Intel 2200BG card in your Satellite M30X-113.
    The card should work properly.

    PS: you need to connect also the two cables correctly to the antenna.

  • Satellite L750D shows the internal battery warning message

    Audio and video of my computer are slowing to almost as noise. I recently saw an error/warning note onto the internal battery life ending (?)

    What does that mean? What should I do?

    Can you please tell us which model of laptop you have and how old is your machine?
    It is possible that the battery is quite old and needs to be replaced.

    But with the sound and the video is a little strange to me. To be honest I can't even imagine what is happening exactly. Did you test using different audio and video sources? Is the result always the same?

  • Bluetooth tends to disrupt the WLAN Signal in practice?

    I know that Bluetooth and W - LAN, both running on the same band of signal, technically speaking, I guess you expect to disrupt each other, but I think to put a bluetooth mouse to use with the bluetooth on my laptop and so will use both Bluetooth and W - LAN whole, constantly.

    Someone else did this, and you have problems with it?

    Thanks in advance, Jack...

    It's a problem of the first versions of material Bluetooth (Bluetooth 1.0 and 1.1). If your Bluetooth hardware is newer for example not longer than 4 years, then it shouldn't be a problem to use Bluetooth and Wlan at the same time. The specification of the bluetooth Bluetooth 1.2 material a mechanismn call "Adaptive Frequency Hopping" (AFH), which avoids interference between WLAN and bluetooth. If you are not sure if your material is new enough to check it out, visit the following Web site:

  • 6008 USB shows the digital signal with nothing plugged

    So I really hope that's not too bad, I guess it is.

    I had problems reading of my digital USB 6008 entry this morning. Everything worked very well last night. Now all digital lines on the device to read a signal if it is has that anything connected to them or not. When I run the DAQ Assistant and test line, it shows a signal to each line. Then I did the joint VI (which should do the same) and it shows a constant signal in each line also. And I have nothing connected to the unit. Should reset somehow, or it is broken? Or am I just missing something?

    nckeeley,

    Look at pages 21 and 22 of the User Guide Ni USB-6008/6009 and specifications.  Digital lines have a traction 4.7 kilohm place resistance to + 5 V.  It will be a line of input opne look (and be) high.

  • Satellite U400: Change a 250 GB on a 500 GB hard drive

    Hello

    hope you can help me...

    I am interested in the Toshiba laptop Satellite U400. The hard drive is to small for me.

    I just want to know if it is possible to change the hard drive to a new one with 500 GB. It must be a 2.5 inch as Samsung's Spinpoint hard drive, right?

    Or can someone tell me about another 500 GB that I can use for this laptop?

    Thank you...

    Hello
    Well you can use hard drives from other manufacturers like Hitachi. The important thing here is, it must be 2.5 "and the SATA interface. That's all.

    Technique, it would not be a problem, but I don't know if the BIOS will recognize the big HDD.

  • New Satellite U400 cannot use the Wlan in Vista

    This is my first post! I just bought a whole new race of Toshiba Satellite U400 Vista Home Premium and I cannot get the wifi to work with my router (which works very well with a Toshiba Quosmio, philips, Nokia N85 phone and iPod laptop).

    He sometimes worked but is virtually unusable.

    I get access: Local only and whateverf as I do, I can't work properly.
    I use encryption WEP 128 bit on a router/modem US Robotics 9106.

    Any help gratefully otherwise received I will take this back to the shop because it is not a usable product.

    Hello

    I recommend you do the BIOS update. Here you can compare the current version on your laptop, latest on the Toshiba download page.
    Compare also the WLAN driver version.

    After BIOS update the WLAN test new functionality. In a first time without any form of encryption.
    Please post the results.

  • WLan connected to the Satellite U400 PSU40C but no data flow

    Hey guys,.

    Hope you can help me with a problem I have with the wireless to my new laptop. I bought a Toshiba U400 PSU40C-08U01C.

    It came pre-installed with Windows Vista. Everything worked fine out of the box, wireless/Wired internet.
    I really didn't want to run Vista, so I formatted the hard drive and installed a new installation of patches to update w / all WinXP to SP2 (haven't tried the SP3).
    I managed to install most of the material on the laptop, all drivers worked well.

    Wired connection worked flawlessly - Marvell Yukon network card.
    However, I came across a problem with wireless connectivity. The map has proved to be an Atheros AR9281-AL1E (discovered that by running Everest Home, held a diagnosis on the machine).

    I found no drivers on Toshiba Canada site, since they are all INTEL drivers and do not work to install the drivers for the network card. I was able to google and get drivers for model AR9281 wireless. After installing, everything seemed to be good.

    The WLAN had no problem installing with this driver, I used windows to manage the wireless. I connected to my network w/WPA wireless security. He got a good IP and default gateway appropriate... but NONE GIVEN don't FLOW! Couldn't BACK out ping, was not able to surf. Could not access the home network, could not connect to the router. I know that's not the router, since I went back to cable on the laptop - worked well. Also the without wire is good, because I have two other laptops running smoothly.
    He was also a clean install so no security except for windows firewall software that has been disabled.

    Someone at - it had a problem similar to this? I will return to the Vista installation with the recovery disk and see if I can somehow find out what drivers he used to install the WLAN network card. If I can't get this to work, I can also install Ubuntu and try installing the WLAN network card it and see if I have some luck. Hoping someone can offer other things I could try.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It's really a good idea to install the recovery image again to see if the wireless card is working properly. Please post the result.

  • Satellite U400-22Z - random character of space in addition to the letters types

    Hello!

    On a whole new Satellite U400-22Z by pressing the letters on the keyboard sometimes it types a space character in addition to the letter pressed after the letter. for example, by typing the word "test" it may look like in "you st" or "t" or your "t" (although if the problem appears, it allways inserts space at the same location in a word give, then it would always be "t's" If that Word is typed several times). the problem occurs randomly, sometimes, that the problem does not appear for an entire session or day, sometimes several times after another. the probleam appears in several programs (IE, explorer, firefox, Word, even to the connection of the user to the start!)

    I tried (after talking with toshiba support) and an update - chip and bios does not work remove the problem. even after a complete roll-back to the original state of pre-instaled/factory using the disk HARD recovery has failed. It is very difficult to locate/pinpoint the problem to some show because the problem might appear only a few days and then "strike" again...
    I am running vista home 32 on the laptop, and given that the bug appears when using only the installed software origin I dosent seem to be caused by something other than the original software...

    Any help would be greatly apreciated!
    Tankxs everyone!
