  Original title: dropped internet connection

  I had trouble with my laptop give up wireless connection.  Received a patcha and everything was fine until the last windows update auto.  Same problem again.  I have to constantly reset the wifi.  I run a diagnosis and I get the message that the wireless adapter has been corrected, but it won't always stay connected.  VERY frustrating.

  Hi Ccolvin3,

  Windows can be disable your network adapter to save power. Disable the power saving option in the network adapter properties. To do this, try the following steps.

  b. in the list of objects, expand network adapters.
  c. double-click the sub element that means wireless network cards.
  d. click the power management tab.
  e. uncheck all options on the power management tab.
  f. apply the settings, and then restart the computer to check the difference.
   
  We recommend that you also download and install the latest driver for the card from the device manufacturer's Web site or system wireless.
   
  Download and install the latest service pack on the computer. See this article for more information:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935222

• Wireless network connection drops on my Tecra A4

  Hello
  When I upload a file (or just only connected to the web), the connection drops about 30 seconds for a few seconds. I tried many things, like change the channel, change security settings (wpa/wep), tried other places in the House, but if I sit only one metre from the router, I have the same problem.
  The strange thing is the computer which is directly connected by cable to the router shows no problem at all...

  See also http://www.sappa.nl/dumeter.jpg for an illustration of the problem.

  I read about a possible solution (http://arstechnica.com/news/posts/1080251780.html), by closing the windows net zero service and instead of this service to use a different program to search for and connect to your network (configfree?)

  I use a netgear WPN824 router
  My laptop is a Tecra A4

  Greetings!

  Hello

  It's not easy to give you a proper answer.
  If your device works with the Atheros WLan card, you must use the Atheros Client Utility to configure WLan settings and the option to use Windows to configure my wireless in the wireless network properties must be disabled.
  In addition, please check from Toshiba Web site for the new Wlan driver. Maybe the new update could solve the problem.

  Good bye

• Why are these networks 0033, livedoor-web, mobilepoint shows on my wireless network connection

  Why are these networks 0033, livedoor-web, mobilepoint shows on my wireless network connection? At Microsoft this downloaded without my knowledge in my laptop in the network connection and the internet? Are these safe to use and that they cause to slow down the internet connection?

  Your wireless network card is just a receiver (transmitter).  As for a 'normal' radio on which you are listening to music, news, sports, etc., your wireless network card will 'listen' to any nearby wireless network and provide you with a list of these networks:

  

  Wireless networks that do not require a security password appear with the icon of the shield, as the "linksys" network in the figure above.

  In general, you should only connect to networks that you know are secure: your own, networks that you know the password, or maybe a public network such as those provided by restaurants and other commercial establishments.

  None of the networks that list you are likely to be public networks.  You will not be able to connect (because you do not know the password) or you should not connect because they might be dangerous.

• Why I still see other appearing in my list of wireless network connection when network discovery is turned off?

  Why other users who are are my nearby?

  Can I be sure that they cannot see me when discovery of the network on my computer is off?

  Should I worry about these other users?

  I am the only computer in my home group, and my wife uses a Tablet using my wireless network key. but no one else has access to my home group.

  Discovery Network turns off the discovery of other devices that are already inside your trusted network (like your TV system game, tablets, phones and other computers).

  It does not affect the list of wireless network connection, which is actually just a list of wifi nearby broadcasting system has found.  You can not turn off without turning off your wifi.  But this isn't a security problem.

• Wireless network connection is not a valid IP configuration / wifi problems

  I recently bought a laptop Asus G74 from Best Buy. It is currently running Windows 7 x 64 home premium. I am away from home on a job to work on a project for my company and during the two weeks have stayed at the same hotel with the same wireless, leaving home for thanksgiving between stays. The first week I spent the unsecured WiFi, download programs and games and play. I left the House, returned and used the wifi day, realized there is an ethernet cable in my computer bag laptop and connected to the hard line for the next day. I went to a colleague of room (a room down), went to look for the WiFi, and the trouble started.

  Diagnostics Windows network tells me that the wireless network connection is a valid IP configuration. I thought it would be something to do with the drivers, so I opened by Device Manager, went through each of my NICs 5 or more and look for the updates of drivers. A couple said they have successfully installed, but nothing has changed my ability to connect. Then I thought about rolling back the drivers, but since I've had the laptop for such a short time (less than 30 days) the option is grayed out. It wouldn't make sense since I could connect the previous week on the same wireless.

  From there, I decided to try a system restore to a point when I was getting into at first hotel. Restarting the laptop and the restore was successful. I tried to log in again and the same problem arises. I downloaded a couple of my favorite, Malwarebytes, and SUPERantispyware tools. Both have nothing.

  So I did some research and digging and scholar on ipconfig (flushdns / release / renew) with an elevated command prompt. I tried these and they told me my media is "disconnected" and cannot be released or renewed. I found this strange since I can see the wifi network. I tried to use the Fn + F2 to toggle the wifi and WIMAX (no idea which is incidentally) with simple ipconfig and media disconnected status does not change. I also read that disabling ipv6 might help, so I did this and still no dice. I restored system again for the 2nd point earlier and it still does not connect.

  Drop-down wifi icon in the bottom right of the screen, after trying to connect to the network unsecured wifi here (BWCamarilloInn), it reads 'Unidentified network' and under it "no internet access. I had different flavors of this message, including "limited access".

  I thought I'd try a cross-check to see if it was not on the end of the hotel. I pulled out my laptop backup enterprise and was able to immediately connect to the wifi, and my colleague from work related to his phone and his netbook. I saw another thread somewhere on a Windows forum that suggests a clean boot. Tried, has not changed anything either.

  Currently I have about 5 different adapters according to the Windows Network Diagnostics: the 1/2 LAN connection and Wireless Network Connection 1/2/3.
  I also have 5 in the drop-down list of the network adapters in the Device Manager.

  Intel Centrino WiMAX 6150
  Intel Centrino Wireless-N 6150
  Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport adapt
  Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport adapt #2
  Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

  and a separate drop-down list called adapters Intel Centrino WiMAX, with a menu drop down called function Intel® Centrino WiMAX 6150 driver.
  They are all updated when right click and check for driver updates.

  I also looked through the different adapters and checked to see if the ipv4 settings have been defined to automatically detect the IP of/etc.

  The laptop is great and I wouldn't really have to take it back to Best Buy. Other problems seem to be of culture that may be useful to know. Patch of League of Legends sometimes throws me an error "kernel patch pvp.net has stopped working", or just sits on the main projection before it hits the pitcher. Sometimes, it goes past the pitcher and he's here without connect to or start the main game. I heard that this has to do with the network stuff. I am computer literate, but I'm not terrible with networking or internet configuration stuff. If anyone can give me a hand, that would be much appreciated. I'll help you as much as I can. I've also attached the current ipconfig info (I'm connected to the internet via an ethernet to the wall cable, League of legends should therefore be able to launch).

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey, sorry for the slow response. Just got home a few days, and since then, I've been able to connect both the wifi just next door (I'm on the end furthest from the beach with her, but I can still connect) and on my netgear n wireless router. I can also access the router dashboard. Fail to starbucks so just wifi next door was the next best thing. ASUS finally answered after 11 days, saying I should reinstall the wireless driver, which I told them was one of the first things I did. Well. It seems that the hotel wifi and I have no idea why this is the case. I was able to connect to the wifi at the hotel the first week and not the second while they might have changed something. I have no idea. I'm just glad that it connects to other networks, both guaranteed and no guaranteed. I'm just a bit worried that it might happen again in the future but I always wear a hard line in the event of an emergency and a business laptop backup.

  With this new information, should I worry still try to fix anything with the hotel wifi, or do I just leave it as is? Thanks for the support continuous, 100 times better than ASUS right now: P

• Satellite L300 PSLBGE network connection drops randomly times

  Hey,.

  I had this problem with my laptop because I bought 1.5 years ago.
  Now I launch Windows 7 x 64 with the latest bios (version 2.20 - WIN; day 25/02/10), chipset and wireless (the card is a: Realtek Wireless LAN Adapter 8187 B; driver version: 62.1182.0331.2010) drivers.

  The problem is that my network connection drop at random times.
  This produces both with my wireless lan card and it comes up with a variety of routers (at work and at home I use a linksys wrt54gl, but I tried it on all the other routers with the same result).

  I don't think it's a hardware failure, since the network seems to work very well under Linux (I tried Ubuntu 10). Also some time I took it for warranty service and they said that the material is fine, but I should "not use many programs at the same time and use Windowx XP.

  I understand the different devices (card WiFi, network card, webcam, etc.) inside the laptop are connected to some kind of usb hub. My guess is that it is something wrong with this "hub", given that the webcam works as defective.

  Thank you

  > From what I understand the different devices (card WiFi, network card, webcam, etc.) inside the laptop are connected to some kind of usb hub. My guess is that it is something wrong with this "hub", given that the webcam works as defective.

  No, the card WLan and LAN card are not connected to the USB just the webcam interfaces so it cannot be any USB issue.

  I think it might be a problem of Windows since Linux is OK

  I think you should check the power management settings in Windows 7 and card Wlan /LAN. This can be done in the Manager of devices-> WLan / LAN card-> Advanced tab properties.

  I also recommend upgrading from win 7 to the last installation of State all updates and patches

• Wireless network connection does not

  I can't access a wireless connection with my computer wireless network connection. The icon in the bottom right of the screen shows a red X and says 'not connected wireless network connection. The wireless on my keyboard button does not illuminate

  I tried to change the channel on the new ADSL2 wireless router and refreshed looking for wireless connections, but still not found connections. I have not used a wireless router before and never used a wireless connection with this computer so I don't know if the wireless card works or not, if the properties of the wireless adapter indicate that it works. Is there a way to check if the computer's wireless card is running or connected and if not, how can it be connected? Thank you

  I finally understood by trial and error, why I was unable to connect wireless to a modem, that you sent me. In my control panel, I found that the properties of HP Wireless Assistant had "Hide status icon" checked, so I checked it and the icon came in the bottom right of my screen. I left then clicked that icon and it showed the wireless and bluetooth was OFF so I went in and it now works.

  Why HP support could not help me in what I don't know, I just got the race!

  Hope this helps others with similar problems.

• I lose the internet connection randomly but never lose my wireless network connection.

  I use a hp pavilion dv9500 with 64-bit vista sp2 and built in a wireless adapter that will fall randomly my internet wireless connection, but maintains my wireless network connection with an excellent signal strength.

  My (non-permanent) fixed
  I know how to reconnect to the internet, but it forces me to diagnose a repair my connection. It then displays "cannot connect to Server primary dns (75.75.75.75)"after which it gives "things to try" who never work and a button 'Reset the ip address' that I click. " repair bar will fill up to half way and go to a new screen solution that shows more 'solutions' and a "reset wireless adapter" button which I click. the remedy bar will fill and then display windows can not solve the problem and go for help. I then manually disconnect from the wireless network and my computer will automatically reconnect to the network and to the internet. It takes about five minutes to fix, but it happens so often that it is getting boring. The process will not work if I only to reset the ip address and then disconnect from the network, only to reset the wireless adapter and then disconnect, or just disconnect from the network and reconnect. I have to reset the ip address and the wireless adapter and then disconnect from the network.

  The internet connection will tend to disconnect when I watch a lot of youtube videos, when I download large files like a game on steam, or just just randomly when I use it. I'll use it for a long time and he can't let it go, but sometimes it will go down to ten minutes after I had just reconnected in a drop-down list. It happens randomly without another warning that download time will increase from 2 mb to 50 k in two seconds all about or stop the loading of a youtube video when I look at it.

  I searched everywhere for an answer, but it's as if it were a new problem for all humanity or just im the only person who does not know how to solve this problem, because there are no forums or FAQ not related to my problem. It is not so much a serious problem such as an irritating problem that appears at inconvenient times or when I just want to relax and watch a video. It takes some time to reconnect and even though I know how it would be better if my connection would just stay connected to the internet at any time.

  I have no idea what the problem could be that whenever I have find I never get related problems. all advice or solution would be great.

  I also share this modem with other three commonly used computers: a wired office and two other laptops that the two are connected wirelessly. both other laptops do not have the same problem as mine. My router is a linksys e3000 wireless router.

  I have problems to stay connected to my wireless router.  There are 3 laptops and 2 workstations connected, but my laptop does not seem to disconnect every time my computer sleeps or is closed.  I have to go through this process to solve the problem in which the connection is immediately restored, but then disconnected and connected once again. I tried to remove the connection & restores and troubleshooting with the router, but nothing seems to solve the problem.

• Equium A60 - no wireless network connection

  Hello world

  I have had a good look through the forums and can't find anything related to this but my apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere :-)

  I set up a wireless home network with a Windows XP desktop computer with a router and a laptop old Win98, WinXP SP2, which I can't connect and an Equium A60. I installed two different network on the A60 USB adapters, seems to be okay with all of them except that there is no "wireless network connection" listed under network connections Control Panel. Both cards work fine on two other machines, so there must be a problem with the A60. I installed an adapter and then uninstalled before trying another.

  Under control-> connections Panel Network, I can see an old broadband connection and the connection to the Local network (which is allowing me to connect to the router via Ethernet, so that the router will work), but the wireless network connection icon is not there. The driver for the USB adapter makes its appearance in Device Manager and is reported as working properly, but if it worked correctly then (I think) a wireless connection icon should appear - it happened with my other WinXP desktop.

  Any ideas of what could be the cause?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I guess that the external WLan USB stick has been recognized one installed correctly. You said it appears in Device Manager. Are you sure that the WLAN USB key has been recognized to 101%? !!

  If the WLAN USB key is recognized correctly, check the properties of this stick. (I think you should right click and then click on properties).

  But if the stick was not recognized, you must verify the properties of the single USB ports and power safe mode.
  Choose the USB single root hubs in device, right click, properties, tab power management Manager and disable the option called allow the computer to turn off the device to save energy.

  So maybe it helps
