Satellite U500 - 18L - wireless network adapter is disabled

Hello

Today I bought a Toshiba Satellite U500 - 18L (Windows 7) and I have a problem with the wireless connection. When I try to connect it it says that there is no connection available but I have in my house!

When I went to 'connectivity doctor' it is said that:
Switching status is:,
and adapt Status: Disabled!

What can I do in this case?

Hello

Have you checked the Device Manager? Generally you can enable or disable the WLAN functionality.
Check it!

In addition the Satellite U500 the WLAN can be activated with the material and the FN + F9 key combination switch.

  • Satellite Pro A660 - wireless network adapter issues

    Hi guys hope you can help!

    I have a Satellite Pro A660 - 11 M Windows 7-64 bit

    The wireless network adapter does not work...

    I tried to reinstall the bios and the driver wireless.

    The wireless button is lit to Yes as the key Fn + F8 doesn't show not relevant wifi is turned on/off as usual!
    It shows also in the Device Manager and BIOS.
    Is there something I missed? Or is it a faulty card?

    Hello

    > It shows also in the Device Manager and BIOS.

    First of all, you won't find any WLan entries in the BIOS.
    But you should see the local network card in Device Manager.
    If good WLan driver has been installed, the local network adapter device should appear in devices-> network cards Manager.

    If WLan driver has not been installed properly, you'd still see an entry under network adapters, but it should appear as unknown device or Ethernet controller.
    You can this inscription?

    In addition, the WLan driver was released on the Toshiba UE driver page.
    The question is; have you chosen the right Wlan driver.
    As much as I know that the laptop supports the BROADCOM 802.11(B/G/N) BCM94313 WLan card and, as a result, Broadcom Wlan driver should be used.

    2. I installed the drivers from the site web of Toshiba - but always hardware WIFI not be picked up by any driver. Device Manager showing that a single 'Ethernet LAN' not installed-may be it is the WIFI card but once again on three pilots (real teak/intel/Ac..). which is the right selection computer-based laptop model No.? as none does not detect the hardware.

    Hi mate,

    Just a simple question: have you activated the wireless network adapter using the hardware on the computer switch portable and key combination FN + F8?

    Satellite L300 is permanently equipped with wireless network card because a friend of mine had the same specifications.

    However, you should try to update the WLAN driver. Check the download page of the Toshiba driver for an update.

  • Satellite L - had wireless network adapter

    Unable to get a wireless connection. I checked in the Device Manager and the Realtek wireless network adapter had disappeared. Had already tried to update the driver, but I guess if the unit isn't here, he doesn't want a driver.

    Found one (I mean heritage?) Wireless network adapter Realtek by doing something that I don't really know anymore, but that doesn't seem to work and will not be an update of the driver. In addition, my USB ports do not seem to work; "does not recognize USB devices", so the wireless mouse does not work and now my DVD player does not read DVD, however seems to read CDs.

    All of these flaws could be connected in a very simple way I have not discovered yet? My computer is virtually unusable. He sends me crazy. I checked the updates of Windows and made only Toshiba many downloads etc. as I can for the last 2 years but nothing seems to work.

    Really really welcome ideas. It works on Vista.
    Thank you very much

    Hi bonce,.

    > have done as much as possible etc Toshiba downloads I can for the last 2 years
    And now you have a confused until the Windows installation where nothing works correctly of course if something doesn t work correctly you can take a driver update, but stop just install what you find. In the end, nothing will work, and your only option is to reinstall Windows because you are not able to remove all of these drivers. If you install or update a driver you really should know what you're doing!

    Anyway, if you still use the startup of the operating system pre-installed drive HARD or Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. This will restore the original with all the drivers and tools settings. Your laptop will be working properly after that.

    This is an accurate description on HARD drive recovery:

    You can connect your laptop to the router using the LAN cable?

    Try restarting your router. Disconnect password and check if the WIFI connection working.
    Also, check the router and WLAN card settings. Don't forget that both devices use the same WLAN mode.

  • Mini 210-1091NR wireless network adapter is disabled and will not return to the top.

    For a month every time I receive an update of windows, (and often!) My broadcom wireless adapter arrives as disabled when the computer restarts. Normally I can uninstall the driver and do a reinstall and the wireless will start working again. However after upgrade of the past few weeks, the wireless is not working. I am running windows 7 ultimate and I have no idea what else to try right now. I noticed that the adapter will work always as long I have start in safe mode, but it's not really very good for everyday use.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    OK I found my own solution, or the moment. I deleted the HP wireless assistant and now he connects very well. Must be some sort of inadequate with the windows wireless somehow.

  • Satellite L50D-B-146 - wireless network adapter drops the Wi - Fi connection

    Hi all

    I have a problem with the wireless (Broadcom adapter) card, it randomly falls free wifi for no apparent reason (I disabled the modules breast win 7 energy saving etc).

    Running the diagnostics of material in the latest Toshiba/Broadcom driver package has given everything going on with the exception of the SPROM checksum failure.

    Is this a sign of faulty hardware? is it possible to reflash the SPROM with the correct data?

    Thanks a lot for all helo,.

    Cooktop

    > Is this a sign of faulty hardware? is it possible to reflash the SPROM with the correct data?
    I think you're on the wrong track
    If the wireless network adapter is listed and recognized correctly in Device Manager, then the WLan driver has been installed correctly.

    The sporadic WLan disconnection problems could be related to different reasons that are:
    WLan router compatibility problem
    Configuration of the router (kind of encryption WPA WPA2, TKIP, AES)
    WiFi signal strength

    I recommend you to reset the Wlan router.
    Then you test the performance of Wlan using unsecured wireless (of course only for testing purposes)
    Then test the different encryption settings.
    Also test the laptop with or without the power adapter connected.

  • Satellite P15-8409, Atheros wireless network adapter problem

    Hello. I'm having a frustrating problem with an old laptop Satellite P15. I restored the phone to default settings using the recovery disk that the system was working very badly. After that, the wireless network adapter has stopped working. In the Device Manager "Atheros AR5001X + Wireless Network Adapter" is marked with a yellow exclamation point. In the menu properties, under general, the State of the device the following is listed:

    The device cannot find enough free resources that it can use (code 12)

    The operating system is Windows XP Home Edition. The same problem has been present in SP1, SP2 and SP3. I also updated the BIOS to V2, but it also did not help.

    At work, we use a wireless internet connection. At home, I have a DSL connection. Curiously, when I plugged the network cable to the House, the yellow exclamation mark disappeared and a wireless connection icon appeared in the network connections window. I assumed that the problem has been resolved by updating to Windows; However when I brought the computer in the office, the wireless adapter was once more in the State I described.

    I searched the internet for the same problem, but was unable to find anything. I would be very happy to help.

    all the best,

    James

    BIOS version is installed on your machine? And you have you recently changed some hardware etc...?

    I don't know what it could be, but in the worst cases, the wlan card has certain shortcomings. You can check this by getting somewhere such an atheros wlan card or intel and install it instead of the one installed.

    Maybe the exchange of cards should solve this problem?

  • Wireless network adapter does not work on my Satellite A200

    Hello

    My wireless network adapter does not work under Vista. If I press FN + F8 nothing happens. Wireless communication is always offline.

    What can I do?

    Details:
    Typ: Atheros AR5008X Version: 7.2.0.164

    Please help me!
    Thanks in advance!

    BIOS bug? I don t think so

    First of all, you must make sure that this isn't a hardware problem. In this case, insert the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall the operating system of this device. This will outline the laptop to factory settings. Notes; This would format the whole HARD drive.

    After the new installation, you must activate the WLan switch on the side of books, and you can then use the switch button FN + F8 to select the WiFi network.

    I assume that you have already configured your Wlan router. So the same settings such as the SSID, encryption of WLan, etc. must be defined on the laptop too.

  • Satellite L500 - wireless network adapter disappeared

    Satellite L500 model PSLS0A-084002.

    Wireless network adapter is not listed under network adapters in the devices menu. FN does not display the wireless tab. There is no off / switch for the wireless on this laptop model. In the BIOS, the wireless LAN is selected ON.

    Switch OFF wireless and then re-start and then plug the wireless, and then re-bots don't find out the wireless adapter.

    Other messages suggest the update of the BIOS. Running version 1.9. ersion 2.1 is available. When I try to run the update: code error-144. BIOS is not flashable.

    Clues please?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Colin9999,

    Before you start with the update of the BIOS, you should try to install the latest driver WLAN you can get on the official website of Toshiba. It seems that you have an Australian model laptop to check the Australian page here:
    www.MyToshiba.com.au > Support > downloads

    After installing the latest driver WLAN check the status again.

    BIOS update error could be related to missing value added package. Have you installed this tool from Toshiba?
    Run the update as an administrator?

  • Disabled wireless network adapter

    The wireless network adapter in my desktop Pavilion (WE167AA under Windows 7 Home Premium) maintains have turned off. This can be fixed about half of the time by running the troubleshooter from network problems, but the rest of the time, the PC freezes during troubleshooting.

    The problem occurred only in the last two weeks, after nearly four years of perfect operation. I have no manual changes to configurations. Unfortunately I do not have a system restore point from before the show began. Performance on other wireless devices in the same room are very good, so I don't know that this is not a problem with the wireless itself.

  • Satellite L750D-159: different problems: wireless network adapter, freezes, power

    Hi all

    2.5 years ago I bought L-750d-159:
    Video: AMD Radeon HD 6520G (TM)
    Wireless: Atheros AR9002WB-1NG wireless network adapter
    CPU: AMD A6 - 3400 M APU with graphics Radeon (TM) HD
    RAM: 4 GB
    OS: Windows 7 Home Edition SP1, 64-bit.
    BIOS: 2.1

    For the majority of the last 2.5 years I had the same questions, alternating between them over and over again without solution in sight.

    Repetition of questions: *.
    1. wireless adapter goes dead, no help of the troubleshooter in windows. Only restart help to, rarely he demans restart another. at the same time #2 arrives:

    2. cannot read USB (IE external HARD disk). allows you to restart.

    3. wireless mouse does not respond. Randomly, reset help.

    4 gel. Sometimes, when there is nothing running in the background. Of course, hard restart (only power button)

    5. office freeze.not always, but if he gets in the mood, he could go the days where minutes after I start the 'word' it would just freeze. Hard reset again.

    6. "atikmpag' blue screen. After not having it for a long time, I started just have it again.

    7 power supply and battery issues:

    7.1 with battery:
    Suddenly load stops. disconnect and reconnect do not help.
    Fresh only when the computer is turned off.

    7.2 without battery:
    Instant stop. Usually when you use Chrome.

    These issues are alternating, everyday sense I get something else, without a prescription for them that I noticed.

    * How to try to remedy: *.
    1. updated all the drivers for the toshiba page.
    [Page drivers Toshiba | http://www.toshiba.co.il/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]

    2. update the BIOS. I do this cotton after having feeding problems, not so useful.

    3. formatting and reinsalled Windows 7 to factory settings.

    I am sure that there is a solution out there, the computer itself works fine for me (when it works) and I will not buy a new one, until it falls dead (I could give a year or two).

    Are you guys famliar with these questions?

    Here are the proven solutions for this model?

    > 1. Wireless adapter goes dead, no help of the troubleshooter in windows. Only restart help to, rarely he demans restart another.

    WLan problems could appear for different reasons. I don t think that it is a WLan driver problem. I think that you should just check the WiFi configuration.
    For example, you should check whether changing the WiFi 1-11 channel would improve performance. Also change the settings for encryption (WPA/WP2-AES, TKIP) is worth trying.
    Turn off all the settings for the WLan to save energy and check if there is a difference if you turn off the WLan mouse.

    > 2. Cannot read USB (IE external HARD disk). allows you to restart.
    Also the issue of USB can be related to energy saving settings.
    In the Device Manager-> USB Controllers-> properties-> tab power management option that allows the system to power off the device to save power.

    > blue screen "atikmpag. After not having it for a long time, I started just have it again.
    This file/process is tied to the ATI graphics card. Try to use the latest graphics card driver. An update is recommended in this case.

    Battery issues:
    Well, sooner or later each battery must be replaced. I put t know if your battery is malfunctioning but probably new battery would help to resolve the issue
    In addition, to remove and uninstall the device control method battery Microsoft acpi located in Device Manager.

  • Satellite L500-13z - Windows 7 does not recognize wireless network adapter

    Hello

    The Windows 7 RC Device Manager does not recognize my wireless network adapter (for example: Atheros, Intel or Realtek). I tried to install all the Toshiba support drivers, but none of them work:

    After installation, they ask me to connect the unit to my computer (of course it is still on the motherboard!).

    =>, Is there a way to know what is my Wifi adapter?

    that one failed: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7201PO000SR01.htm (this is the only Word to say "network adapter" with a yellow exclamation point).

    -Online someone knows when will be released Windows 7 drivers on the website?

    Hello

    Before you begin to install all drivers WLAN you can find on the Toshiba site you must make sure that wireless network card, you have exactly. You can check in the Device Manager-online properties-online Details of the local network adapter device.
    Need you an information like PCI\VEN_XXXX & DEV_XXXX

    If you have based this information you are looking for with these terms on this site in order to determine the exact WLAN card:
    http://www.PCIDatabase.com/

    After that, you can download the driver appropriate for your laptop. Before installing, you must uninstall all other versions and restart the laptop.
    Also, make sure that the WIFI is enabled with the hardware switch and FN + F8.
