• I have been connected to the internet (wireless), then I unplugged the router and now I can not connect to internet. I tried diagnose the problem, but he said that he could not.

  I have a wireless internet connection for my laptop. I was connected to the internet, and it worked very well, so I had to unplug my router and all of a sudden I can't connect to the internet more. When I open the available networks, I hit connect on mine and he said: it does not work then I hit "diagnose the problem" and then, he says he can't. Also it is not even give me the option to set my password to connect to my network, but it does when I try to connect to any other.

  I suggest to unplug all your network cables and unplug the adapter from your modem AND router. ONLY plug your modem back power adapter in. Wait until you get a steady green light on your router, which indicates that it is ready. Then, connect the ethernet cable from your modem to your router INTERNET port. Connect the ethernet cable from your computer to any other ETHERNET port on your router. Finally turn the monitor for your router.

  If you do not do so in this order, the router can not connect properly to the internet because it doesn't have the correct IP address of your modem.

• Wireless connectivity problems: Windows Vista displays connected to the internet with good signal, but cannot access the internet more than a few seconds.

  Hello

  Recently, I brought a Dell with Windows Vista and a Belkin Wireless adapter in my house somewhere else. The computer has never had problems connecting to wireless internet on the other networks, however since the move I was not able to access the internet. Sometimes the network shows only a local connection and not Internet and other times, the network has a strong signal, a network identified and even an internet connection, but when I open any browser, it is only able to load the Google homepage and I cannot navigate anywhere else. I turned off all firewalls and even uninstalled all 3rd party software protection. I checked all my browser settings and made sure they detect automatically the IP settings and proxy settings. In other words everything seems in good shape, but I still have no navigation capability. Any ideas?

  It turns out that I had to remove all the old Wireless USB software that had been used previously (there had been other versions of Belkin and Linksys). I then used the computer from my friend to download suitable driver on the Belkin site for the internet adapter USB I used and BAM.

• Using a Vista laptop, connects to the internet, but will not load page. DNS problem.

  Hello.

  I use a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

  I just have a modem and use a router. I have a network cable (cat 5) connected to my laptop and the modem. I have log-on internet and it connects. But when I open Google Chrome, IE9 or Firefox I can not load a web page. Google mentions something about the DNS cannot be found and DNS_Probe_Finished_No Internet.Frefox says server not found.

  I click on the Menu start - Connect To - I am logged in. I already typed my password in the command prompt and appropriate the pppoe connection/address (I use ADSL).

  I talked to my ISP and we tried to do certain things. But nothing works. On their end, it shows that I am connected. But I can't browse the internet. We tried to have the DNS and IP address for ipv4 set to obtain automatically and I put 2 numbers of DNS in manually once the settings have been changed to the favorite servers and DNS auxiliary, or worked.

  Using command prompt, the DNS has been emptied. It did not help. The modem has been reset the ISP location. I also recreated and set up a new network connection.

  My office is using the same pppoe information. I can freely browse the internet and I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I was also shown to be connected simultaneously with both machines, but that the Office can go.

  I do not have Windows Update the laptop since on April 2016. It has not been used and the battery was empty. I tried to turn off the laptop several times, but nothing works.

  Y at - it suggestions to solve this problem? At that time perhaps a re - install will work.

  System Restore worked. I will run the updates and see what happens.

  I think it was a program that I uninstalled in programs and features.

• Slow connections to the internet wireless

  I have problems with my wireless with my brand new Dell laptop running Vista 32 bit.  I spent a lot of time to read about it online but have not been able to solve my problem.  Here are my steps, I took so far

  D/led drivers Dell Wireless
  -J' uninstalled McAfee Security Center
  -disabled autotuning, rss, tcp/ip v6
  -Flashed the firmware newest on the router (netgear WGR614 v5)
  -set levels of power for maximum performance on battery

  Wired product than the internet very fast speeds so it's a wireless issue.  My other laptop running XP THAT works well on wireless so I think it must be related to Vista SP2(even ran the same virus scan programs on both computers).  Some pages load more quickly, but as soon as I'm lulled into a false sense of security on the internet speed, I get hit with a page very slow loading Web or the connection is lost (although I am still connected to my wireless network).

  Any suggestions?  This has been a very frustrating and aggravating, issue especially with a brand new computer.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You can check your connection Wireless at a library or other WiFi spot just to rule out any problem between
  your router and the new system. Have you tried to assign security to WPA and make sure that you broadcast
  SSID that some routers and systems have problems. If disable you (OFF) the system XP is there a difference in the way
  the new system works with the WiFi connection?

  Security/antivirus/antispyware products could also play a role here, even if the same as those on XP seem to
  work well. Were there more of them on this system even if you have uninstalled them when they leave often remains
  which may cause strange problems.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  When I try to use the Internet, I get a message saying 'the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network. I don't know how to change the settings so that it works.

  Hello

  Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
  Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there

• My laptop does not connect to the Internet wireless or Ethernet.

  Hi my laptop does not connect to Internet via Wi - Fi or Ethernet connection. He previously connected the two. The model is a portable HDX-18 1201 and runs the Windows Vista 64-bit operating system. I have had the laptop for a while now and this is the first time that this has happened. I tried to locate the network drivers but can't find them on the Device Manager. To my knowledge, I have not changed anything on the computer that may have caused this. If someone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Richard

  Hi Richard,

  Search for the latest drivers for your model laptop from the HP site and then try if operate you, install it, for the wireless and Ethernet cards

  just download the drivers from the HP website through another computer, copy it to MemoryStick and install the drivers on your laptop and see if it detects it fine, and then it should work Fine.

  Hello

  If you try to connect your printer to the router, you should make sure that wireless Direct is trurned to offshore. Direct wireless is a feature that allows you to connect a device directly to your printer without router (the printer generates its own wifi)

  Please turn off direct wireless (it's often a button on the front panel) and try to connect again.

• After sysytem restored in windows 7 Home Edition, laptop can't connect to the internet.

  Personal salvation of support
  I have a lenovo laptop with windows 7 Home Edition on it, whenever I have a system restore I have following problem with network connection.

  • WiFi: the problem with the Wi - Fi connection is it says it has limited connection to the internet, the system receives a valid ip address of modem/router (DHCP). But system is unable to ping the address of the router (gateway address), similarly it cannot ping localhost or 127.0.0.1. It says general failure. Then I try to give the IP address manually on the wireless card, but I have the same problems
  • Wired: when I turn off the wireless connection and want to connect to the laptop via a network cable to the router I have the same problem, it cannot ping the localhost or 127.0.0.1.

  I tried the following, but it didn't work.

  • ipconfig enough and ipconfig/renew
  • Flushing the DNS system
  • netsh winsock reset all.
  • netsh int ip reset all.

  I saw several online forums, but couldn't find the solution to this problem, the only solution is to restore the system to factory setting, and then it works. Wired and wireless network works fine

  What is the solution to this problem, this is not an appropriate solution, is it a windows M S for this solution.

  Your help is highly appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  Open network and sharing Center, click on your wireless network connection.
  Click Properties, double-click Internet Version 4 Protocol.
  Select obtain an IP automatically, and select obtain dns server address automatically.
  check if it works
  method 2:
  This is perhaps a problem with your wifi driver.

  Open Control Panel, click hardware and sound. under devices and printers, click Device Manager. Expand network adapters and then double-click your network adapter. go to the driver tab and then click on set to update driver (leave the pc it automatically searches). Once he did try if everything has worked.

• Re: Satellite L300-1DN - unable to connect to the internet

  Hello guys! I recently bought a Toshiba laptop - Satellite L300-1DN and I can't connect to the internet wirelessly or by cable.

  I tried to turn on the wireless button and my laptop recognized my network without wire from my house, but he just not able to connect. Then I tried to connect the cable, but my laptop itself connected to an 'unidentified network' and the internet still does not not :(

  The internet works perfectly fine for my old laptop and my other roommates. So I guess that is not a problem with my router itself.

  I don't know computers very well, so I'd really appreciate your professional opinion!

  Thank you very much!
  Scarfy

  > One last thing, I tried to connect to an unsecured wireless network and it worked!

  It looks like a problem with your router. Check this box and look on the site of the factory for an updated firmware.

  Make sure the laptop and the router using the same standard WiFi (for example 802.11 g).
  Disable all the functions of economy of the WLAN card in Device Manager.

  Last but not least follow Luke posted.

• Unable to connect to the internet, no network adapter icon?

  I received a computer toshiba satellite laptop which should have windows 7 ultimate on, however it does not connect to the internet wireless or ethernet, I lived all the troubleshooting suggestions, but there is no network adapter icon to activate. The laptop was of an elderly aunt who barely used and was not very tech savvy so I don't think that its been damaged (it has not been used for some time) any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Are there devices listed as "other"?

  If there is, run as 'Administrator' Device Manager and do a right click, properties, [pilot tab] and try to "roll back driver" (I guess the update driver will not work if the PC is not connected to the internet, but it can also be worth a try)

  If this does not work, try to force the hardware detection - http://www.pctips3000.com/how-to-scan-windows-7-computer-for-newly-attached-hardware/

  If still no joy, use another PC to go to the support site for the brand/model PC and download the latest driver available for your PC and the operating system network card (32/64 bit, etc.) and transfer it to the PC via a USB or SD card. Then try to install it.

  BIOS - how you access the BIOS will depend on the brand / model of the PC and the BIOS itself, but it gives an example: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/accessbios.htm give it a read and see if you can follow. Ensure that you change and not change things randomly.
