Tecra S3 and A2 both with Intel 2200 BG - unstable WiFi access

My Department is using dozens of portable Toshiba (15 years and more).
Past generations up until the Tecra S2, everything going well using WiFi.

Problems started with the A2. Then the same thing happened with the S3. At the same time on the first day.

Tosbiba NL suggested the driver update: no improvement.

Test: 1 single - 1 Cisco 1200 AP (802 11 b) - no or brief affair (2 minutes) possible.
Most of the time, the AP is not visible at all.

I tried different channels. No difference.
All other Toshiba laptops with other models of WiFi adapter, works well.

Test with a 3Com (802 11 b) AP went better, but still a very bad connection speed.

Test with a Cisco 1230 (802.11 g) was better, but still
very bad connection speed.

Suggestions for Intel 2200BG re:
Power Save polling would cause. But offer no solution.
Bluetooth co existance. BT is not installed the A2. BT is not enabled on the S3. We do not see the report here.

There is no influence of other devices operating in the 2.4 GHz band.

Who has the same experience and is a known explanation/solution?

Best regards and thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill

Thanks for your post on your wireless issues observations.
I read a few comments on the issues of wireless LAN and WLan driver update procedure especially strange have solved the problems.
As far as I know on the Intel site, you can find the most recent version of the driver WLan BG.
I suggest to download and reinstall the driver.

  • Tecra A4 and Win7 - problems with PCMCIA card driver

    I've recently updated my old laptop Tecra A4 - PTA42E - (in great condition however) for Windows 7 and it is now in the best shape ever except for the PCMCIA card. In fact, to have Windows 7 installed I had to rename the pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf files during the installation (to .old or .bak) otherwise the new operating system would not start. The same problem has been experienced by many other users Tecra A4 and the solution is available in a number of forums.

    Although I use no more than the PCMCIA card slot, I want to fix this for a reason: If, in the future, I need to re - install Windows 7 for some reason any on this laptop, I have to repeat the same process - rename the pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf during installation, in addition, the new operating system does not start.

    I do not understand that the original drivers from the card slot (Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia) are not compatible with Windows 7, but it is there any updated driver that works for windows 7? And if there's a how can I replace the old drivers in my system so that in the event of re - install Windows 7 I will not have to go through the same process? TI site is no help, and Toshiba does not all drivers to download.

    Last but not least, if there is a driver available, I used the card slot for 2 ports USB 2 or 3 additional which are really necessary.

    Thanks to the forum, in advance

    Hello

    The pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf files are part of the Windows System.
    This driver isn't provided by laptop manufacturer, but it is a Microsoft internal driver.

    You mentioned that the pilots of the original card slot Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia) are not compatible with Windows 7.

    To my knowledge, this driver does control not the PCMCIA location but this driver controls the card reader that supports the MMC card, SD card, card xd picture card, SM card, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro.

    However, the Tecra A4 is very old model of laptop. The driver will not be updated for this camera and it looks like Windows 7 drivers never had to be released the driver Toshiba UE

    Hello

    I have a Tecra P11 (PTSE3A-00T00K) which has been loaded with Windows XP, but sold with Windows 7. I have recently reinstalled Windows 7, but could not get WiFi to work. I had downloaded the Intel Wireless LAN driver, but the program doesn't seem to recognize WiFi. Bluetooth monitor and located only ConfigFree Bluetooth function, but can't seem to find the Wireless Lan drivers. The network tab is not present in Device Manager, and network controller is in other devices, but with a lock icon.

    How to make WiFi work?

    Thank you

    Exact specification for laptop is not known to me but as I can see on the download page there is also offered Atheros WLAN driver version 9.2.0.500.0.s3264 (for models Atheros).

  • problem with intel proset & atheros and M30X

    Hello

    I have problem with Intel PROSET. When I opened this program can't do anything just because my Wireless 2200 BG is not be listed in "network components. Moreover in Atheros I'm not able to do anything as well. It can suggest the problem with the driver, but I managed to connect to my friends wireless net. What can be wrong?

    I have my own installation of Win XP SP2 with all drivers and programs of Toshiba tools & utilities. (I had the same problem with recovery of victory)

    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Happy user of T M30X

    Hello

    I guess you have INTEL Wireless Card. After installation of SP2 to check if there is some conflicts in your device manager. You can update driver for the wireless card. It is always good. :)

    As BOB said go to https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com (then adapter & download of drivers and downloads).

    It is driver for your Intel (V. 8.0.12.9000W2BG) wireless card. Install it and check is there no conflicts in Device Manager.
    If this is not the case, turn your wireless card and FN + F8 to enable the wireless connection.

    If you re router wireless works correctly and if your WLAN has a name you see now. I know it's sometimes very complicated to establish the connection, but you must try all the options.

  • Tecra A10 with Intel WiFi 5100 running Vista 32 bit fails to connect WiFi

    Hello

    a whole new Tecra A10 with buildin Intel 5100 WiFi fails to connect to the Wlan router, using the pre-installled Vista Business 32-bit. Vista has always said: wrong password.

    Yes, Wifi hardware is enabled, of course. And Tecra WiFi OK MAC is stored in the config of the router. Also the WiFi settings were correct (wpa2-psk aes), corresponding to the Wlan router. Password WPA2 is 13 characters. Connect all the other machines with a Wlan successfully turns a working Wlan configuration and use of the correct password.

    I installed the latest driver on the Toshiba site - without success. I also installed the version of the driver from the Intel site will, too--without success. Doesn't matter what tool I used to connect, Vista itself, or the specific tool of Toshiba (Radar), choice to get an encrypted Wlan connection.

    WPA2 and WPA or WEP can be used. I can't get a Wlan connection when encryption is totally * disabled *! Currently, I use a * clear * Wlan to use this Tecra A10 in the network. Real gross and no solution for more than a few days.

    All other devices in the same network can connect the router Wlan with WPA2-PSK and WEP, no problem. Only the A10 / WiFi 5100 fails.

    Searching the Web I found really many reports all issue of WiFi with a WiFi 5100 devices, so it seems to be a generic material or / and driver issue.

    How can I correct this Wifi 5100 connect problem and use encryption WPA2-psk on Tecra A10 and WiFi 5100 with Vista? If this is not possible, I have to return this laptop and get another model with a working Wifi / Wlan Hardware.

    Thank you.
    -Thomas

    Hello Thomas

    Have you tried to connect your laptop to another router by friends or elsewhere?
    It is really strange that you can use any of the WIFI ciphers available.
    Have you tried to reboot your router?

    I have Satellite A300-1LI with the same card, WLAN, preinstalled with Toshiba recovery WXP image and I use it sometimes linked to the WLAN with WEP encryption.
    Have you tried to contact Toshiba or your local dealer for advice?

    According to the specifications of the computer laptop Tecra 9100 is ready WLAN and can be upgraded with standard Wi - Fi 802. 11B. I have the same WLAN card on my Tecra M1 and I'm really happy. You can buy the Wireless (PA3189U-1MPC) recommended LAN card and like to be mobile. The transfer of data is OK and you don't need a better card for this good old classic.

    I don't know about other issues. There are always 'problems' with any upgrade. You weigh against the benefits. I know that you need more RAM. At least 4 GB, maybe more if you can. Don't forget that this system is produced at a time when most of the machines have + 8 GB RAM and when Apple said 'minimum' they really mean it.  I recently inherited a MacBook that has 2 GB of RAM and the Mavericks. When I checked the memory, the use of the system was using 1.95 GB = nothing to run applications!

  • Problem starting with the Tecra A8 and A9 models

    We have about 20 or more, A8 and A9 Tecra notebooks and each has shown signs of the same problem again. If rebotting and netwrok cable is attached, so they will not start. Remove the cable and it is a normal startup.
    The A8 has a motherboard replacement (problem existed before the replacement) and is still there now after the replacement. The MB is replaced mainly because the sound card was dead. All machines are running XP Pro OS. The A9 is a novelty. Would be - this driver issue or - this one of my favorite - an update from MS that has caused problems.

    > If reboot and the cable network is connected, then they will not start. Remove the cable and it is a normal startup.

    Hmm that's strange.
    However, I recommend that you check the BIOS settings, please ensure that LAN is not set as first boot device.
    Also check if the BIOS has been updated to the State

  • My Y510 is unable to connect with WiFi need to reset the modem, and sometimes both

    Hello

    My Y510 sometimes does not connect if my Wi - Fi if one of them started earlier then the other, I went to the media and automatic downloads to make the drivers and software upgrades through its tells me that all devices need update is no update. To connect to wireless internet, I restart my modem, and sometimes both.

    You guys you suggest... Thank you

    Check the site of the manufacturer of the modem for the firmware update if available.

    start-up your computer, press f8 to load in SafeMode (networking) and try again, lets see the problem persists.

    If the problem persists, uninstall the network drivers, restart your computer and install it again.

  • Tecra A6 does not start with battery only

    Hi all
    I'm having a strange problem with a Tecra A6 I picked up recently at the refurb because it does not start with a battery only: it starts only when / sector is also connected, but eventually DΘmarrer on battery alone (and works fine) with the power cord removed shortly after pressing the power button. It's just on battery alone, I get no answer by pressing the power on button (so the power outlet must be set at this first stage or I don't get anything).

    Now I'm wondering if maybe it's the battery voltage? It seems that there are 2 options for this model, a 10.8 v and the other at 11.1V. With loaded Windows and Hardware Monitor reports running the battery is at 0% wear level and cool until completely (so I don't think that the battery is faulty), but it indicates that the battery is running at * 11, 1V, * but the battery installed is actually the * model 10.8v*. Could that prevent any power on only to batteries?

    More information on the model I have:
    Tecra A6-PTA60E-0EJ013EN
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0 Ghz
    2 GB of Ram.

    Thanks in advance for any help on this one. Essential, I would like to know is if I have a 11.1V battery to run this model correctly (and get it) on battery alone. If the voltage makes no difference so I guess it must be a weird motherboard problem and I need bother not buy a new battery.

    > Will have to buy another battery and see if the same thing happens (I'll know then if it is the motherboard), but in the meantime if anyone can let me know if the voltage is serious I would appreciate it.

    To my knowledge, the batteries for Tecra A6 should take in charge 10.8V
    There's piles more strong for example 5200mAh but the voltage must be the same 10.8
