wifi activation

I have a laptop that was given to me and I'm a little lost with turn on WiFi. I can only access the internet through the network connection. I don't see anything to activate the WiFi in the Panel, but I'm pretty confident that it is a user number. Thanks for any help...

The first question is whether this laptop has even wifi.  Not all do them.  What is the make, model, and if Dell, service etiquette, the laptop?

  • Open Device Manager (type "Device Manager" in the search box and click on the result).  Expand the "Network adapters" section by clicking on the arrow.
  • What devices are listed?
  • Y at - it a warning showing icon?
  • If you can identify one of the devices as a wifi adapter, double click it to display its properties.  What is the name of the device? What does say for "device status"?

Most laptops with built-in wifi have the ability to turn the radio on and off (to conserve battery power when you do not need to be connected).  Sometimes, there is a physical switch.  More often, it is a combination of the Fn key and one of the F (usually Fn + F5) keys.  The guide of the user for your laptop.

    I can assure you that the wifi driver installation is done properly.

    Thanking you...

    This laptop has a wireless white list that blocks the start if the correct card is not installed. You must purchase a wireless HP part number card.

    The laptop is 10 years old. It is the only card in the manual for the United States. Don't know where you are and which may affect the part number you need, but it's the American part:

    802.11a/b/g module LJ WLAN for use in the United States and the Canada. 407254 001

    Here it is on eBay:

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/Broadcom-Mini-PCI-Express-card-BCM94311MCAG-407254-001-/221004274059?hash=item3374e1998b:m:mLUBTJNR7QLs7JVwODHLsiw

    He must have the SPS number HP part number. I suspect that your card is bad and others that you tried to buy are incompatible, then you will need to get one like the above, if you are USA or the Canada.

  • Satellite 1905-S301: internal WiFi card does not

    I have a Satellite 1905-S301 laptop. I just bought a new Intel Pro/Wireless Mini PCI WiFi card because I discovered that my laptop is WiFi active (I have had it for two years and did not know this).
    I installed the card, attached to the antenna to it and installed the software. The computer recognises the card, but he won't find not all networks that are out there and it gives me the error that I need to turn on the hardware for the WiFi switch, even when it is turned on.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    On the right side of the laptop, you should find a WLan hardware switch.
    It must be on the use of the Wlan card.
    Also, try to use the FN + F8 key combination to activate the Wlan antenna.

  • Airport extreme continues to lose a WiFi for devices

    I have an Airport Extreme router and since last week, I have had problems where the devices throughout the House will lose internet connectivity. It's very random when it initially started to happen.  Now, I find myself restarting the router every time to solve almost every day.

    My configuration:

    Carrier Internet (wifi off)-> Apple Extreme router connected directly to the Internet (wifi active) carrier router

    At first, I thought it was my internet service provider. After problems with them, everything seems to work fine on their end. I have a travel line that directly connects the router to the internet company (I have 4 dedicated IPs available) and it works very well when my devices stop working.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? I spent a lot of money on this router in the hope of having a better experience of wi fi for all my devices apple, 4 iPads, 2 iPhones, 3 Apple TV and 2 Macbook cradle unfortunately, I'm out of warranty for support. Hopefull

    Hello themaclife,

    I understand that you are having problems with the internet using your airport Exterme. Let's see if we can get this sorted out.

    Generally, most of the problems can be solved by restarting simply your Airport Extreme. If this is something that is becoming more and more frequent, you may need to configure back again once. Take a look at the article below to guide you in how to restart and reconfigure your Airport Extreme. Don't forget to use the recommended settings and look out for any who might cause problems similar to what you feel.

    Now you mentioned that the warranty has expired on your Airport Extreme as well as having 2 Mac and Apple TV 3. If none of these devices have AppleCare and was purchased within 2 years of each other, then one of these devices can extend the warranty to your Airport Extreme.

  • Droid Razr Wifi battery drain even when off

    I just upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 4 days ago. I noticed that my percentage of remaining battery fell a little too quickly.

    In the battery usage screen, I noticed that wifi was consuming 8 to 12% of my battery use. Even if it's OFF, the automatic connect feature wifi was off, and the wifi symbol does not appear on the top bar.

    When I activated the wifi, it would normally connect

    In graphical battery level screen, the bar under the graph showing the duration of use of wifi, indicates the wifi on almost constantly even if wifi is turned off.

    The only time where the wifi bar shows a gap is when, after actually using wifi and I turned it off, it would interrupt its use but only for a few minutes at most before the bar itself turns on.

    I have attached a screenshot graphic. Each break in the bar wifi use means that brief or two minutes after turning off wifi before it turns somehow reignite.

    Airplane mode seems to be the only way to keep wifi active exhaust the battery out of my phone.

    Everyone has similar problems, or have any suggestions?


  • OfficeJet 7612: direct wifi and OfficeJet 7612

    I tried to connect my Samsung Galaxy S5 to my new Officejet 7612 via wifi direct, but have had no success.  Everything I read seems to verify that this Protocol is available for this printer for wireless printing.  Even in charge HP seems impasse.  Any suggestions?

    Yes my wifi is on and connected to the direct wireless network is on (different protocol than wifi direct) and everything seems to be in working condition.  I prefer direct wifi for fast printing without sending to my e-mail address of printers.

    'Direct-25-OfficeJet 4650' is an HP printer that has Wifi active Direct and is nearby.  It offers the 'Connect' to it.

    If they disabled the security on the option (BAD idea), you could probably print a document containing "BOO!" and listen to a cry!

    I use another set of the printer at home - 86xx series, which has only "live wireless".  I know from experience that the wireless to my network connection is transparent and easy to work with any Android device.  He does not suffer the 'glitches' link you quoted warns - devices you want to re - connect to the printer rather than the normal wifi network and some non-Samsung devices cannot use the command 'print '.

    The User Guide, or your printer's specifications indicate the 7612 supports "Wifi Direct".  Wireless live, Yes.  I think that this probably puts the nail in the coffin.

    (BTW, thanks for forcing me to do more research on the differences between the two protocols.  Learned something today.)

    The ePrint application prints directly on the printer if both the sending device and the printer are connected to the same network.  You need not use the routine fixing ePrint service/email at all!

  • Problem with LAN Express airport

    Hello

    I recently bought an Apple AirPort Express router and I have several problems using the Ethernet with the most active airport. The thing is with my old router, I could have been connected to the ethernet cable, while at the same time connected with a LAN cable to my Macbook (end of 2015). The old router would have generated a wifi connection, but at the same time, would have enabled internet connection by cable to my Macbook without the active WiFi. People could use WiFi at home, but the Macbook would be connected to the internet by cable (lan cable connected to the router)

    My question is how to turn on a cable connection on my Macbook using the AirPort Express LAN cable, while at the same time, keep WiFi active. Currently, I have the ethernet cable connected to the airport and cable Lan also connected to the airport and the Macbook, but the internet will not work unless the WiFi is active. I would like to turn off the WiFi on the Macbook and always have an internet connection through the LAN cable that is connected between the AirPort Express device and Macbook.

    Thank you

    My question is how to turn on a cable connection on my Macbook using the AirPort Express LAN cable, while at the same time, keep WiFi active.

    Is the Terminal AirPort Express the only router in the current configuration of your network? No matter, what is the brand and model of the modem Internet you have the Express directly connected by Ethernet? ... or is the Express connected by Wi - Fi to the modem?

  • Data transfer?

    Is to connect your iPad to a computer to transfer data to your iPad another way of data transfer such as an OTG device as a micro SD card?

    Thank you

    Depending on the data type and the application that you use to access this data, you may be able to save to DropBox or dedicated application servers back up (if it is a characteristic of soft offers).

    SanDisk made a series of key USB Wifi active. However, due to the nature in iOS sandbox, there are many limits on what you can switch to the player. Everything happens through the application owner.

  • Appeal of Wi - Fi available message repeats and repeats

    I have a MBP, iPad, and an iPhone6S all the connected to the same iCloud account.   all iOS devices running 9.3 and the Mac is 10.11.4.

    I turned on my old iPhone 5 because I have a use for it on WiFi (active flight Mode, WiFi enabled).   So a 4th device on the same account iCloud.   However, when the iPhone 5 is connected to my WiFi network, the other 3 devices (6 s iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro) all begin flashing messages (again and again and again and I can't get him to stop).

    iPhone: 'calls Wi - Fi for other devices - wireless calls is now available for other devices on your iCloud account.

    Mac: "Wi - Fi on this Mac calls - you can now make and receive wireless calls using your phone number on the Mac"

    iPad: "iPad Wi - Fi calls - you can use your phone number to make and receive calls directly on iPad using a Wi - Fi."  (Not now turn on).

    These messages reappear as long as 5 s is on the WiFi network (even once, there no assigned telephone number).  I disabled FaceTime on the children of 5 years - without change.

    I can't stop messages by signing on iCloud on 5s.  However, once I login to iCloud with 5s, messages start up again on the other 3 devices.  There is no phone or cellular parameters available on the 5s because he is in Airplane Mode (wireless on).    How can I use 5s and share my iCloud account but the messages throbbing on the other 3 devices to stop?

    Hello sjsherratt,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If you want to disable the function of cellular calls iPhone continuity, then I suggest that you do the following:

    Disable iPhone cellular calls

    To turn off cellular calls on your iPad or iPod touch, iPhone go to settings > FaceTime and turn off the iPhone cellular calls.

    On your Mac, open the FaceTime app and go to FaceTime > Preferences. Click settings, and clear the cellular calls to iPhone.

  • Would a backup of PC data backup?

    Hi, I recently had problems with my iPad 2 Air involving the iPad having a problem unprovoked where it won't turn while I was at work, even if I tried the buttons restart. The night after that happened, I went home and accused to see if something would happen and he showed a low power indicator and after trying to restart, it then off again. This is repeated until I managed to turn on by making some alterations, which then lead me to understand how I was going to try to work off tension. I took the decision extremely stupid and without restore statement (after a backup on PC) which lead me to bigger problems, because for some reason, I couldn't get my iPad to stay long enough to restore the backup (it was still defective even on load). I've saved on PC expecting to save documents and data as well, but much to my panic, I realized today (after having managed to restore my backup) it didn't. For almost a year my iCloud wasn't backup despite me having enough space, and I couldn't be bothered to fix, because I thought that regular backups for PCs would do the job. I lose my job for a year, or is it possible to recover from backup? Thank you.

    That's why do rely never ONLY on the "cloud" (relocation of the remote server off-site) only.

    So let me understand this.

    All the time you had this iPad, you never, EVER connected to your computer synchronization and backup your data on iTunes?

    And recently, you discovered that your iPad has not been saving iCloud, either?

    You never bothered to check even all this time to see if iCloud to store backups of data on your iPad?

    Certainly, iTunes does save all the stored application data and documents stored application.

    You waited to do a backup on iTunes when your iPad is become seriously problematic and glitch?

    Certainly, it is possble that your iPad is pretty glitchy for not doing a full backup on iTunes.

    It is possible.

    There is a very high chance/probability that iTunes has not spared any of your data from your iPad, and it is gone now.

    If you did a restore of this incomplete iTunes backup, I'm sorry to say, but the data has disappeared from your now Pad, too!

    If you had not tried to do the restore of data, there is a chance that all the files were still on your iPad.

    As soon as you did the restoration of the inconplete, you have destroyed the previously stored data that was still on your iPad and he disappeared.

    That's why you perform regular backups in addition to a more stable situation for any mobile device.

    A mobile computing device is NOT a permanent place for important data to your store.

    These devices are not technology also mature, stable and robust as a laptop or desktop computer to trust to store data long term.

    You must have, at least, another source more reliable and robust to store your important and precious data and images you want to never lose.

    Even on a more robust computer, you must have / should have a backup of your important data on your computer, you want to never lose the hard drive or any other failure of the computer failure.

    FYI, cloud storage, always much better to save a local source, such as a computer or WiFi active laptops and external hard drives designed for use with mobile devices.

    These documents are available from Seagate or Western Digital and there is even a new WiFi active Flash USB in SanDisk reader, called the SanDisk Connect which comes in a variety of sizes of storage that works with any iDevice.

    Things to consider if this doesn't happen to you ever again!

    Good luck!
