Switch wireless off problem (R61i)

So I have a ThinkPad R61i 8918-DCG with Intel 4965 agn wireless adapter. I installed http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-66449 driver on win - xp, & that the adapter. It works, but I can't turn off with Fn + F5 (it write: click to switch off (like Bluetooth), but it does not work) (& bluetooth has a green button, but does not the wireless).

Please help someone! THX!

THX, I solved the problem with a new wlan Intel driver.

  • Seeing light, cannot turn on wireless capability switch wireless

    I currently have a Sony Vaio laptop, running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. Today I came from work and my wireless connection has been disconnected. That morning, everything was beautiful and functional properly. I noticed that the led next to the switch wireless off even if the switch is turned on. I tried jiggling the power switch on the front of the laptop but the light does not. When I troubleshoot the network adapter, it says "Activation of the wireless feature. When I go on the VAIO Smart Network, wireless LAN is turned on but the status says offline. I am at a loss for what to do, I rebooted, restored and turned off my phone for a while. I even reset my wireless router to attempt to repair if all goes well, something. If there is anything I can do to solve this problem, assistance would be very welcome.

  • Acer aspire switch v10 wifi problem.

    Hello

    I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I looked and that you can not see this problem.

    My friend got an Acer Aspire switch V10 from the EA Store with mobile internet, but want to connect Wifi too when shes at home.

    The problem is that there is no option for Wifi everywhere where I can see. My laptop Windows 10 in the Notifications Panel and the subnet in the settings. But these are not? How to connect to a Wifi network?

    Thanks for any help you can give and, hopefully, im missing not only something

    Welly

    It is possible that it is, for some reason, got the wireless off. There is a press of button (Fn - F3 on this laptop, may vary on the switch) which enables / disables wifi on and outside. In addition, you can toggle the wifi device in network and sharing Center, go to edit the card settings. If it does not then it is possible that the driver is corrupted or missing, open the Device Manager and look for whatever it is reported as a problem. Finally, it is possible, that there is a hardware problem in which case it will not show anywhere. This requires a trip to the repair depot.

  • X 60 micro-switch wireless

    I have a X 60 (1706) who is really old and worked many years. In my view, that the micro switch wireless failed on this subject. Mechanically, it works but I guess there not electronically. I had problems with slot and turned off (no pun intended) with it for a few months. I disassembled the laptop, and it seems that the switch must be replaced. In Linux live boot CD, it says that the wireless switch is turned off.

    I guess that the part is not a FRU. Is this correct?

    A replacement motherboard is the only thing?

    @hausman, it's just the plastic switch. Current electronics of the switch is soldered to the motherboard, and it is not considered a FRU.

    Hi ~ I have a SAT E205-S1904 and he died a few months ago. I took it to be fixed and they said it was a software problem and that fixed it.

    Before I took it in my switch wireless did work. Now, there is no light, and it does not have the kid who fixed, he says the material was very well and he couldn't understand why it wasn't. I have a WiFi connection in my house, what makes this laptop completely unusable for me. I have windows 7 on it.

    What Miss me?

    How should we know what are you missing?
    I put t understand how it stopped working suddenly.

    Question is: what did you do with your machine?

    Also, I think it's software related, but on this virtual path issue, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. Fact is that this function is controlled by software that runs in the background. Maybe you stopped him somehow.

    What you can do is to reinstall the OS again and again test the functionality with the factory settings.

  • Windows 7 wireless connection problem

    I just bought a brand new Alienware m17x and all drivers are up to date... .IM with broadcom wireless network adapter. The strange thing is that last night I was on the internet for several hours without any problem using the wireless, but this morning iwas unable to use my wireless internet access. This has happened several times now. Sometimes it says "not connected - no available connections" and sometimes he says "not connected connections are available" when she says, links, I try to connect to the network, but it says "unable to connect to the network. The only time wherever I was able to connect to wireless internet, was when my computer is automatically connected to my wireless network without me having to select the network and attempt to connect. I read things about windows 7, with a mode of "sleeper" for wireless connections or something, and that can be the cause of it and that it is better to turn off or downgrade to xp. I am really frustrated because I am not able to connect wirelessly and I hope you guys can help me find a solution.

     

    Guide to correctly troubleshoot wireless M17x
    with Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card
    by Glzmo

    Since many new Alienware M17x all powerful users, especially those who use Windows 7 as operating system there are various problems with their Wi - Fi connection and post threads asking how their difficulty over and over again, I decided to write this guide to show them how to solve these issues properly Commons. The solutions in this guide were created and designed for 64-bit Windows 7, but they may also work in Windows Vista, although these problems were experienced by users of Windows 7 mainly in the past. It could very well be that the problems start occurring in Vista as well with the new drivers and Windows updates.

    I. may not connect to the wireless network and or see the wireless adapter when the Ethernet cable is disconnected
    If you sometimes or always unable to connect to the wireless network, cannot connect to the wireless network when the Ethernet cable is disconnected, unable to connect to a wireless network unless you restart once to get this work and other weird problems to be unable to connect to a wireless network continue with section II. Otherwise, continue with section II..

    Sleep of a.i. Disable on disconnect device
    Some new Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a function called sleep device to disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the card Ethernet to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it is buggy and thus kill the wireless connection as well.
    Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Ethernet Nvidia card:

    1. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
    2 double-click network adapters.
    3 double click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (Yes, that's indeed wired Ethernet adapter).
    4 click on the Advanced tab.
    5 select sleep on disconnect device.
    6 set the value to disabled.
    7 click OK and wireless should work again (may require a reboot later, but probably not).

    I.b. install different drivers (older) who do not have the device sleeping on disconnect feature.
    The above does not work or if you are not comfortable with these drivers, follow these steps (if step A.i. was successful, you will not need to follow these steps). Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding:
    1. click the Windows Start button in the taskbar.
    2 click on Control Panel.
    3 click on uninstall a program.
    4 in the list, double-click Nvidia drivers.
    5. Mark Remove only the following.
    6 in the box below, only check the Nvidia Network driver.
    7 click Remove and follow the uninstall instructions.
    8 restart the system, if you are prompted to.
    9 download another (older) driver from Nvidia.
    10 install the old driver.
    11 when asked what drivers you want to install, select only the network driver.
    12 follow the installation instructions and restart your system if prompted.

    II. Low or fluctuating wireless connection speeds
    If you have problems with WiFi low connection speeds (such as rates decline over time, the speeds are much lower than they should be, network lag/stutter in online games, loss of light packets, loss of internet connection as LAN works and other weird things) or speeds of fluctuating wildly without apparent reason wireless connection install the version of the Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8 drivers instead of the standard Broadcom drivers. All older drivers will usually cause the speed of connection under normal. Note, however, that you may need to install the driver manually via Device Manager as the pilot was not released for another laptop and is not officially available to the M17x yet - that's why the installer won't work. Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding.
    Here is a step by step how manually install the driver:

    1. download the drivers Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8.
    2 check out the R29128.exe file using an extraction utility like WinRAR or just run it and quit the installation program.
    3. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
    4 double-click network adapters.
    5 double-click the Broadcom 802.11n network adapter entry.
    6 click on the driver tab.
    7 click the button Update driver .
    8 click Browse my computer for driver software.
    9 click on Let me take form a list of drivers for devices on my computer.
    10 click the disk provided .
    11 click Browse.
    12. select the folder that you extracted the drivers you just downloaded in step 1. in.
    13 select the subfolder DRIVER_US (if you are in the United States), DRIVER_JP (if you are in the Japan) or DRIVER_ROW (if you are in the rest of the world), according to the region you are in.
    14 click on the Open button.
    15 click OK.
    16 select the driver that says Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card of the list (you may have to scroll down to see - it presents itself as second to the last in the list for me).
    17 click on the Next button.
    18 you will get a warning that the driver that you are about to install is not compatible with your hardware. Ignore the warning and proceed with the driver installation.
    19 restart your system if prompted to do so.
    20 your new driver should now be properly installed and the speed of your wireless connection in the order.

    III. If all else fails (or you've just had enough of boredom arising from the Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card)
    Replace the Dell Wireless 1510 problem with a card half-mini Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 A/G/N (use the bluetooth as the third antenna antenna or buy you an additional antenna for this). It works very well with the M17x, has better connection speeds to strips of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (this last has speeds really bad on the Broadcom/1510), it has not required to jump through the hoops to make it work properly and much more, it works with standard drivers and Intel maintains their drivers up to date. It is also much more reliable and faster as well, especially on the 5 GHz band, but also on the 2.4 GHz band.

    For more information on the subject of tweaking the settings of your Dell Wireless card, check out the official setting advanced properties: Dell Wireless WLAN Card User Guide.

    I hope that this guide will help you solve your Wi - Fi connection and allow you to enjoy speeds of complete wireless connection on your laptop Alienware M17x.

    I lost my iPhone 5 and the "Cell" switch is off. How can I turn back on from another phone so I can activate "Find my phone"?

    You can not. There is no method to remote turn on/off all the settings on the phone. The only thing you can do is put it in mode lost through the computer and it remains to be seen if the device connects to a known Wi - Fi network. Otherwise, you'll just go out and pick up the old-fashioned way. You have it in Mode plane, or you just disable cellular data?
