• Pavilion DV7-3165DX, Atheros AR9285 WiFi adapter, communication and incompatibility issues

  After much research, I decided to buy a Pavilion DV7-3065DX. Then, I walked to my local Best Buy to say the 3065DX had been abandoned and was no longer available for purchase. However, the 3165DX, his successor had arrived and was very similar to the previous generation. After a brief discussion to justify the increase of prices with myself, I gave and was sold.

  Within hours, I was in College, trying to connect to the WiFi network without success. After several hours becoming more and more frustrated, I decided to call it closes unexpectedly. Rushing home after class, I plugged the new Linksys WRT160N, I had also bought wireless router and configured on my desk. Once completed, I tried to connect using the new Pavilion. To my surprise, it worked! (And no problem whatsoever no less). So, apparently, the wireless adapter works, but does so only on some networks.

  A week later, I tried to connect to a number of public and private WiFi networks of different types with limited success. Most importantly, I am able to connect to my home network, but not to the public networks in my college or city libraries. At one point, the Office for my college indicated that my WiFi adapter is one of a handful of cards on the list of incompatible devices to their network. As it was to buy the laptop in the first place, I am extremely frustrated.

  I turned to the support pages of HP for a solution. I considered a update driver despite the use of the HP Wizard to keep abreast on all software downloads and updates. To my dismay, product for the Pavilion DV7-3165DX page lists of Broadcom WiFi adapter, which does not correspond to my hardware (Atheros AR9285). What's worse, is that the manufacturer's website offers no driver downloads to customers that its site is adapted directly to product manufacturers.

  At this point, I'm increased and not sure what to do. I am already attached to this laptop. Apart from the war with his fingerprints on its black and shiny chrome surfaces shiny, the problem with the Atheros WiFi card is the only problem that I had. I hate having to go through the ordeal to return, and I do not think that this problem requires the sending of the product to HP for repair. Furthermore, I believe that if it came down to one of those, I simply return the product and find my way to another product by other manufacturers in total.

  This certainly isn't the experience I had hoped with my first purchase of HP.

  Any suggestions?

  I have the same question... However with me the solution wasn't in the pilot. I spent 3 hours on the phone with technical support, try to understand.

  What it comes down to say that Atheros AR 9285 is a shi * ty wireless card. It supports 802.11n Protocol, but only 2.4 GHz (the same as the b/g frequencies). My Cysco wireless router was broadcasting 5 GHz Wireless-N and AR 9285 was not able to detect it. Once I changed the router settings to allow 2.4 GHz Wireless-N Networking, the Atheros card was able to connect under the Protocol N. However, the maximum speeds of 2.4 GHz card are slower than 5 GHz card.

  I wish they would give an option to choose what wireless card to install in my laptop. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I'm always done what they me screwed on.

• What is an alternative to the UWABR100 Wifi adapter?

  It seems that Sony has stopped the Wi - Fi adapter for the model 2011 Bravias incredulous. However, the link for the UWABR100 WiFi card to http://www.store.sony.com/products/27-UWABR100 says that it is no longer supported.

  Does anyone know if there is an alternative to the UWABR100 WiFi adapter?

  Now that the UWA-BR100 is no longer produced, and the few remaining are sold at ridiculous increases ($ 175 and up), it seems that the single dongle wifi that works with Sony Bravia and Blu - ray Disc players and gets strong support in the comments of the buyer is the UWA-DR100 Wifi adapter. It is manufactured and sold on Amazon by two companies. You can also see the reviews on Amazon.

  Sony really disappoint recent Bravia owners on this issue. It's one thing to be an essential accessory owner for a major product feature of the production after 5-7 years, but inside of 3 years is supported of the gross product.

• Qualcomm, atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n wifi adapter problem

  Hi, if I can connect to the internet, but after a bit, I'm disconnected from the network. When I have the Troubleshoot, it indicates that there is a problem with my card. It is not a problem with my network as all other devices work correctly.

  I use Windows 8; my laptop is a Pavilion dv6 - 3284ca; my wifi adapter is qualcomm, atheros AR9285 802.11b/g/n wifi adapt

  Let me know if you need more information.

  You can try a USB wireless adapter. If it works, which will restrict the cause root. If it doesn't, it will restrict the issue to a conclusion. There is not a lot of troubleshooting on the left that you don't want to, so I think that an adapter is a good idea.

• WiFi adapter does not work correctly

  I want HP 4-1204TX with Windows 8 operating system and I always had the same problem with the connection using my wifi adapter. When I opened the Device Manager to search for the status of the wifi card, it says my "ralink RT3290 802.11bgn"... ". "Microsoft Wi - Fi Direct virtual adapter"... everything has the same error code which is Code 45.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Hi @FLFOO ,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. It's a great site for information and questions. I looked in your question on your HP ENVY 4-1204tx Ultrabook and issues with WiFi adapter is not working properly. Error codes in the Device Manager in Windows 8.1 could be fixed by removing any additional drivers. So I want to uninstall everything that is listed in the network drivers in Device Manager, reboot the laptop. Here is a list of the options in the Device Manager, it might help.

  Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant, if you need it. Simply download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that requires an upgrade or reinstall.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you.

• Windows 8 sometimes disables wifi adapter

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop Windows 8, which is that, sometimes, when I log in, my wifi adapter is disabled. It is a Realtek RTL8723AE wireless adapter. In Device Manager, it is reported that the ' device reported problems "and has thus been disabled. This issue seems to happen randomly, sometimes, it's going to happen, sometimes not, but is annoying, because I have to go to Device Manager to reactivate, and then to modify the settings to enable wifi PC.

  No, updates do not resolve it and system checks show nothing wrong. What could be the cause of the problem?

• RALink RT5390 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter will remain not connected

  I use a laptop of Hp 2000, and the adapter installed on the computer provided wireless is a Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter.  I ran the driver update tool, and it says I have install the driver update.  I have also run the tool to "Diagnose the problem", and he says that he has no problem.  However, the computer loses internet connection constantly.  I guess it has something to do with the wireless adapter, because all other wireless in the House have no problems. The operating system is Windows 7.  I'm a little tech savvy and can normally include questions to just play with it for a while, but this one has me dumb founded, and its very annoying when you try to do something and you just loose connection and have to start all over again. Help, please!

• BDX4350KB Wifi adapter and firmware upgrade doesn't work do not

  It is a sequel to my earlier question about if the WLM-20U2 Wifi adapter will work in my blu - ray player.

  After buying the adapter I plugged it and a message 'not supported', if I tried to connect wireless it says there was no an adapter connected.

  So I assumed that this necessary upgrade, so I formatted a 1 Gb USB drive with the FAT file system, downloaded the file level (version 39 http://www.dl.toshiba.com/player/NA/GB/EN/BDX4350KB.html) and copied the file .bin on the USB.

  When I plugged into the player and said to check the disk for a file to update it tells me that "frontend file is not found"... There was only one file to download, and it wasn't in a folder so I guess I'm supposed to just copy that file on the USB drive.

  I checked the USB port with a memory stick with photos on and it works fine.

  How to get the upgrade to work in the hope that it will enable the wifi adapter to work?

  Thank you
