• Satellite L500-207 will not find wireless networks

  My laptop cannot identify wireless networks at all and I don't know how to fix it. Everything works fine and I'm aware wireless is turned on and anti-virus scans were clean.

  First of all, the problem occurred after I have reset default DNS for the DNS to google so I wonder if this is what caused the problem.

  I would be very happy any assistance that could be given in the resolution of this problem.

  > My laptop cannot identify wireless networks at all and I don't know how to fix it.

  Does that mean exactly? You can see your WLan or you see another WLan in the neighborhood?
  If you can't see any WLan then this means that the card wireless network is not correctly enabled in this case use FN + F8 to activate the WLan.

  In addition, check the settings of TCP/IP to the wireless network.
  In Protocol TCP/IP properties, you can find the settings as all these parameters must be set to automatically assign the IP address.

• My Windows 7 computer will not find the networks wireless after a system restore.

  My Windows 7 computer is not find wireless networks after I did a system restore. It was perfectly good wifi before the system restore and other members of my family have a great connection except me is not a problem with my router. I think I know what the problem is, but I just don't know how to fix it. So there you go. I did my restore system about 2 days after that we moved on the provider of internet/tv "Comcast" to the tv/internet provider "Verizon". what I think has happened, is that I restored my computer to the point when we had no Verizon so that he could not find the network. Now, since we have Comcast it won't identify this network either, so maybe some of you out there could help me. : D

  Hi Cannonballgum,

  1. is the wireless card detected by Windows?

  First check if the wireless card is detected by windows.

  1. Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  If you see the card wireless available in the Device Manager, then visit the card manufacturer site download and install the update to the latest driver control if it works.

  Hi Kate,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that Windows 7 can't find the network and I appreciate the efforts made to try the patches. Let me ask you;

  • Restoring the system led?
  • What exactly happens when you try to connect to the Wi - Fi?

  This could be due to several reasons, including any third party software conflict. Try the following methods and check.

  Method 1: Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network and check if the problem persists. If the problem does not persist in SafeMode with network, put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

  Step 1: Start the computer using safe mode with networking

  Safe mode with networking is an option of troubleshooting for Windows that starts your computer in a limited State. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. Safe Mode with networking appears in the corners of your monitor to identify which Windows mode you are using. You can use the internet connection in this mode.

  Please refer to: , start your computer in safe mode

  Step 2: Perform a clean boot in order to avoid any conflict of third party software.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

  How to perform a clean boot in Windows

  Note: see 'How do I reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting' to reset the computer starts normally after troubleshooting.

  Method 2: Update the network adapter

  Step 1: Update the driver through Device Manager

  a. click Start , type Device Manager and click on it

  b. expand network adapters

  c. make a right click driver, and then click Update driver software

  Step 2: Install the Windows updates pending

  To check the updates:

  1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.

  2. In the left pane, click check for updates, and then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your computer.

  3. If you see a message telling you that important updates are available, or you say to look at the important updates, click the message to view and select the updates to install.

  4. In the list, click the important updates for more information. Select the check boxes for the updates that you want to install and then click OK.

  5. Click install updates.

     Read and accept the terms of the license and then click Finish if the update requires it. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Step 3: Visit the computer manufacturer's support Web site and install the latest network for Windows 8 for the same model of device drivers.

• My laptop can not find wireless networks

  My laptop can not find wireless connections, that it works fine when I use an Ethernet cable.

  It works on 64-bit windows and has a intel wifi link 1000 series

  The most likely reason is that the wireless card is turned off or disabled.  Most laptops have this feature in order to save battery power if the wifi is not necessary.  Depending on your laptop, it is a physical switch or a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys.  See your User Guide for more information.

  You can also check the Device Manager (click the ORB start and type Device Manager and then press the Enter key).  Expand the "Network adapters" section by clicking on the arrow to the left and then double-click the entry for the Intel Wifi Link.  Check 'Device status' in the 'General tab '.

• JournE Air 801 not finding Wireless Networks

  My 801 Air could see my wireless network when I first turned on. I had trouble getting security WPA2 to work so I reset the default 801 by using the reset on the device.

  Now I am unable to find wireless networks.

  Any ideas how I can get my 801 on wireless networks?

  Thanks for your help/advice.

  Hello

  Are you sure that the Wifi is enabled in the settings of Air 801?
  Usually the WiFi icon should be visible in the upper left corner, if the WiFi network has been activated.

  I downloaded the manual for Air 801 (European Toshiba page-> support) and download-> user manual. On page 42, you will find all the details on the networks.

  You can use the Wifi protected Setup. It is the best way to connect to the network.
  -Select Wifi protected setup and press OK
  -Press the wps button on your router wlan and press ok to continue
  -Press exit to return to the previous page.

  Then use the Wifi Wizard to detect and connect to the WLan router in your region.
  -wifi select Assistant
  -Press on top and down to select your preferred router
  -Press OK to confirm your selection
  -Enter the password router e

  You can also use the advanced configuration

• Network management problem, computer laptop Windows 7 will not find other computers on any network, however all other computers on the network can access Windows 7 laptop.

  Basically, the issue I'm having is that my laptop does not connect to any other computer to access the actions or other files.  Other computers on the network can access my computer laptop shares and files without any problems.  Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.

  What I tried:

  restarted
  uninstalling and reinstalling the files and printers, sharing maps and restart after completion
  all disabled firewall
  tried with IPv6 enabled and disabled without change, so it is currently enabled
  tried on a Wi - Fi and the differences are listed below in the section work (work is wireless)
  able to ping other comptuers
  access to other computers is permitted by other computers

  problem extends over several networks, IE I noticed it at home last night and the followed problem my laptop at work this morning.
  The problem is slightly different on the two sites.

  At home:
  I can see the other computers on the network, but I am unable to access it, even if I have permission, but other computers can access to my laptop.

  At work:
  Cannot even find other computers on the network but they can find and access my laptop.

  Asked this question in the Windows 7 forum also because the problem was between windows 7 and Vista.

  Hello

  If it has started, you can try a system restore - an update "might" have caused the problem.

  1. try a system restore back to a point before that happened. And immediately thereafter enter
  Control Panel - Windows updates - top left settings and set it to download and informs you instead
  Automatic. Leave it until you are sure that everything is OK and then you can add them one at a time
  to troubleshoot BUT click right on and HIDE all the driver updates. Also stop at day of drivers like below
  and let this value - manually search for drivers when you think you need. (See how and why to)
  stop day of drivers below.)

  How to make a Vista system restore
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-System-Restore-how.html

  To uninstall an update if you determine that there are problems - Panel - updated Windows - down left-
  Updates installed - uninstall

  I had completely forgotten the system restore!  While looking into the system restore, I found that when I moved into my new House and has cable Internet installed, the cable technology installed a program of comcast on my computer.  This caused me to not be able to connect with other computers.  After rolling back to install it before it works!   Thank you.

• Windows 7 will not recognize wireless adapter

  Hello

  My hard drive was recently started giving me problems so I just bought a new SSD. It is a desktop computer with a wireless PCI card. I have not yet removed the old HDD and when I start Windows with this one, I am still able to use the wireless adapter (both facilities use Windows 7)
  When I go into Device Manager and try to search for hardware changes on the network cards (on the installation of the SSD), nothing comes up.
  Network cards that show on the old HDD:
  Map Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport
  Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
  TP-LINK 300Mbps Wireless N adapter
  Network card which shows on the SSD:
  Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
  The SSD also indicates:
  Other devices > network controller (has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark beside it, but couldn't find an update)
  I can't find a driver for the TP-LINK wireless network card, but I understand that this feature needs to be integrated to Windows in any case - I do not remember having to install whatever it is extra to do work on the old HDD.
  Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

  If it's your TP-Link adapter

  http://www.TP-link.com/en/products/details/?CategoryID=240&model=TL-WN821N#down

  Download the driver from the V4

  (Possibly on a key usb on another PC, then install it)

  I have this kit and it runs on win7 & win8 both with the above driver

  Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller is the correct controller for your motherboard (and only one)

• Windows 8 will not connect wireless automatically and sfc/scannow error

  Hey,.

  I have a problem and I hope that some of you may be able to answer. I have a desktop running Windows 8 x 64 which, no matter what I try, just usually don't forget I connect WIFI at home. Every time I start the PC I have to go into the details again once I tried everything (several times), new drivers and virtually all of the suggestions emanating from the research on various forums.
  I say this because when I tried to run the "sfc/scannow" in an elevated cmd, it comes up with an error.

  http://www.Neowin.NET/forum/uploads/monthly_05_2011/post-336322-0-01396700-1305440203.jpg

  Error is the same that above, looking in the CBS.log newspaper he does not mention that it is unable to repair the files of numerours including some relationships Wi - Fi so I don't know whether they are connected or not.

  The wireless network card is the USB - N13 by Asus.

  The wireless works fine on my laptop and my GFs Macbook.

  Anyone has any idea as how to fix WIFI details don't forget not the "sfc/scannow"?

  Kind regards

• Windows Update will not find or install the updates

  I turned on my laptop last night after several months of inactivity, and when I ran Windows Update I met an interesting problem. Windows Update took a long time to look so I decided to let it run all night. When I checked on this subject in the morning, Windows Update has been always looking, but I had already received a notification in the taskbar informing me that there are updates available.

  I could not cancel the search, so I restarted my laptop, and when I logged Windows again, I saw the list of the updates that are available even if the "last check for updates" was always showing "22/05/2016 at 22:46. I selected all important updates and tried to download and install them, but after several hours, the status was still stuck at 0%. I canceled the installation and noticed that the update of Silverlight has been downloaded and ready to be installed. I tried to update only one without success and was finally able to get it by allowing Windows Installer updates immediately before the power off of the laptop. When I turned my phone back and connected, I could do the same for an update of the framework.

  So far, those who have been the only two updates to cross, and I could not download or install the rest. An additional problem is that my Windows Update always displays a prompt stating "Windows 10 upgrade booked" despite the deadline passing on the free update. When I see the confirmation, I get a popup Windows 10 stating that the offer has ended. I don't know if this is related to why Windows Update does not work, but I saw more guests for 10 Windows on my main computer once the delay.

  Other things I've tried are to update manually the time at the time of Microsoft servers and try to download and install the updates one at a time, but neither contributed to the situation. In addition, Microsoft Security Essentials apparently downloaded and installed the latest definition files on its own, so it would seem that the problem is only related to Windows Update.

  I've attached screenshots of my Windows Update history and update. Any help would be appreciated.

• Updated to Windows 8... now can not find wireless network

  I've updated from windows vista to windows 8. Everything went well, but now the computer can not find wifi connection while it worked before the upgrade. Any ideas what's past? Or what I can do to find l ' internet and connect?

  This 'upgrade' is really not much more than a NEW installation of the operating system.

  Did you visit the manufacturer's web page a computer for your computer model - more precisely their downloads and drivers for your system model - the article and enter all drivers of Windows 8/8.1 available to them for your if everything goes well supported by said manufacturer under Windows 8/8.1 computer system?  (This is a manual process.  Microsoft/Windows doesn't make or can't stand most (if any) of the hardware components inside your computer.  You must obtain and install these drivers yourself.
