Update card WLAN 11 g 11n on Satellite Pro A300-15U possible?

Hello

in the recent this t Magazin (Germany), there was a very good article on the replacement of the card with a (draft) 11n wlan more recent 300Mbit card. They said, it would take your laptop to get the map accessible (it is) and having two antennas (there). 11n can or used three but it does not all three.

The mag says, some manufactured goods prohibiting this and you have an error in the bios if you are replacing the card, some don't and even provide assistance and instructions.

So my questions are:

1. don't Toshiba allows me to change the map, or you have to use "stuff"?
2 Toshiba offer original parts to upgrade or you have to use third party items?

Thanks for any adivce or help!

Mirko

That s is not so easy.

A look at the underside of the laptop. It has a label and you should see the wireless network card is built in.
If the card has A/G or B/G standard, then the laptop does not support the N standard, because for the new N standard, you need 3 antenna cables and the old standard has only 2 antennas.

I hope I could help a bit.

  • Satellite Pro A300 1NT - Possible to upgrade to Windows 7?

    Hello.

    I intend to buy the Satellite Pro A300 1NT, but want to make sure that I can not upgrade to Windows 7 and more specifically the characteristics of touch screen.

    Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

    Hello!

    I think that no one can say whether the Satellite A300 compatible with Windows 7.
    Windows 7 is not on the market yet, and I think it will take a few times to release.

    And Satellite A300 doesn't have a touch screen, so I think that you cannot use these features on this laptop.

  • Satellite Pro A300-15 t does not restart on the current after BIOS update

    Hello

    There is something wrong with my Satellite Pro A300-15 t. I made an update of the BIOS of toshiba recently with the latest Web site and it installed successfully. But after the installation, I noticed that my laptop does not restart when it is connected to the power adapter. It restarts and works perfectly when its power on the battery.

    After restart or start-up the laptop (on battery), it will be well when the adapter is connected.

    But, when I reboot when the adapter is connected, after his stop, just power light turns on for a second or two and gets off automatically. And not even the laptop starts manually by pressing the power button (LCD is turned off when the power light comes on for 2 seconds) when the adapter remains connected.

    So what I do is to pull the plug on the adapter, then start the computer manually by pressing the power button and reconnect the plug of the adapter to the laptop starts. It works well this way. Rest everything works perfectly.

    And this problem started after the update of the BIOS. Now, I don't know how to remedy the situation I don't know if there was a bug in the last update of the bios.

    Details of the update from: http://gulf.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=AE

    Thank you

    PS Sorry for the bad English

    Hello

    You have installed Win 7 but you didn t install some tools that controls the FN keys!

    You need to install the support card Flash Utility and added value package!
    You can find that both page European driver Toshiba Satellite L500 download area!

    PS: I think you should also check the BIOS settings. Some BIOS contains an option to toggle the wifi.

    In addition, go to-> properties Device Manager card Wlan-> Advanced tab
    Here, you can activate Wlan card too!

  • Satellite Pro A300 - 1DZ PSAG1E Vista - cannot get WLan to work

    I have the Satellite Pro A300-1DZ with Vista.
    I can't get the wirless to work. I saw this thread and downloaded the driver wlan as above.

    How is it installed well?

    Thanx

    Your Satellite Pro A300-1DZ belongs to the series of PSAG1E and this series was equipped with Realtek 802.11(b/g) 13ch-RTL8187B WLan card!

    You must use a card Realtek WLan driver.

    But just a question; The WLan driver should already be preinstalled. Have you activated the WLan first before attempting to connect the router toe?

  • Satellite Pro A300-195: Realtek 8187 B Wlan driver and driver of Smartphone problem

    I have a Satellite Pro A300-195, running a card wireless Realtek 8187 B and Windows XP Professional. It was working fine until yesterday, when I installed the drivers for my new Samsung Galaxy S2.

    Now, I can access the internet if I connect to my laptop to the router using the cable ethernet, but if I try to do wireless, it gives me a list of networks, but it won't let connect me to one of them.

    It is the installation of new drivers or is this some sort of weird of incompatibility between the drivers for both devices?

    To be honest, I can't believe that the smartphone software would affect the WLan driver functionality but I don't know this smartphone software and so I can't say that for sure

    Then first of all, you should check if you have enabled the WLan card on your laptop. Did you? Using FN + F8, you can activate the Wlan.

    In addition, please check in Device Manager if the wireless network card is correctly recognized. Is there is some yellow exclamation points then it could mean that something is wrong here in this case it would be necessary to reinstall the Wlan driver.

    The Wlan driver can be found here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    I recommend also to check the support page of the manufacturer of smartphone and check if there are a few known issues regarding this software

    Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.

  • Satellite Pro A300-1DZ cannot find HDD after BIOS update

    Hello world

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ flea market.
    Put a new copy of Windows xp family.
    I then install all the drivers necessary own site of Toshiba and the end of it, I thought that it is perhaps a good idea to update the bios?

    OH DEAR what a big mistake.

    Now the netbook won't start windows.
    So I thought it's ok, I'll just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but he tells me that it cannot find a hard drive on my netbook?

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm going crazy,
    Could someone tell me please how to fix this? Thanks x

    Hello

    I think the value of the option SATA AHCI and hence Windows XP mode cannot find the HARD drive.
    It's because of the SATA controller.
    You can set the SATA AHCI compatible mode mode mode and this will allow you to install Win XP on the laptop without the use of SATA drivers.

    So, you have two options if you want to install Win XP:

    -> AHCI mode, but you must include the SATA drivers
    Compatible mode-> Win XP installation possible without SATA drivers

    I ask then is there latest drivers for Windows XP

    Hello

    I think you have already answered that question yourself...

    As you wrote that you can get all the drivers on the Toshiba site and if it isn t a newer driver available you can nothing more I think. Satellite A300 isn t a laptop of game performance so I think that the display drivers are not so important.

    The only way to obtain a more recent version, it's looking on external Web sites. Maybe you can get the desktop pilot working had some changes I put t know but really attention! Other drivers don't have protection against overheating and you could destroy the graphics chip. Be very careful of what you do.

    Alternatively, you can search on the Toshiba site for other models of laptops with ATI card too. Maybe, you can get a newer version

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - wireless connection, drop all the time

    Hi, I have a problem with my wireless connection fall all the time on my Satellite Pro A300 1EA.

    It happened earlier, but I've fiddled about a little with change of drivers and the removal of the connection settings for the registry and it then worked fine for months, until yesterday.

    There were several updates for Windows installed yesterday, but none of them have been updated driver for the wireless card, and they don't look like they should cause problems. The fact that the problem happened before makes me think that the updates can be anything to do with it.

    I use the * Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 * for Vista 32 - bit version 12.2.0.11.3 drivers from the Toshiba download page.

    Other computers on the same access point have no problem, so I think it is specific to this laptop. The connection speed is normally 6 Mbps, but I cannot even check e-mail now without the abandonment of the connection.

    Laptop will be thrown against a wall soon if no one can help you.

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit: I've already made sure power settings are at maximum to the WLAN card, even if on battery, or what power management.

    Hello

    Have you tried to use the Windows System Restore feature? After that your WLAN should work fine again.

    In addition, I can recommend the latest WLAN driver in the Intel page, it s version 12.4.xxxx. I installed the driver on my Qosmio laptop and don t have any problems with it: [www.intel.com].

    If you have any other questions, please let us know!

  • Satellite Pro A300: XP - Internet HSDPA speed limit - only 1 MB

    Hello

    I am user of 2 different models of Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-1NT.
    I use XP Professional extracted from the original XP Recovery disk.

    When it is connected to internet provider GSM using ExpresCard HSDPA modem or HSDPA USB modem I get 1 MB speed limit control on speedtest websites (ie: speedtest.pl) and internet usage is relatively slow when comparing other computers.

    When Windows Vista was installed on the model of the A300 speed was greater than 5 MB.

    I already checked, I'm in the range of UMTS and speed on other computers (Toshiba Tecra with WinXP Pro, Toshiba A100) and M70 with Win XP Home with the same modem (Huawei) has no such speed limit

    What might be the case and the solution?

    Hello

    Have you checked the WLan performance using different WiFi standards?
    You can change the Wlan standards in Device Manager-> card Wlan-> properties-> Advanced tab.

    Check the settings there.
    I recommend using a WiFi standard 802. 11 G for example instead of B/G

    In addition, you should check if you can update the WLan driver and if the BIOS is updated.
