Windows 7 laptop cannot add wireless networks

• My laptop cannot detect wireless networks after using the Windows Update service. Technical support, very desperate need.

  I tried the direct technical support, but it seemed to have cut. Given that I can no longer connect to the internet on my laptop, I'm with my playstation browser and painfully by typing with the controller.

  My probllem.
  I have an ASUS Intel Core i3 - 2350M CPU @ 2.30 GHZ running Windows 7 home premium. I've selected "Windows Update" in the start menu and proceeded to download and install all updates. Once the updates have been installed, my laptop couldn't detect wireless networks which means that I can't connect to my router and have lost the internet.
  Device Manager indicates 802.11n Wireless LAN Card is working properly.
  Windows did create a restore point before installing the updates, but everytime I try a restore I get the following message
  "System Restore has failed. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed

  System Restore could not access a file. This is probably because an antivirus program is running on the computer. Temporarily disable your antivirus program and restart System Restore.

  I have reset my router but my laptop doesn't detect a network and there are usually 10 in the region and it shows nothing. My router is fine, as I use it now with my playstation.
  Please I really need help, how do I get my laptop to detect the wireless network. If someone could give me a few steps to do, please.

  Most laptops have a switch that turns the wifi radio on or off.  Often, it is a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys.  It may be a physical switch somewhere on the laptop.  See your manual for details.

  If this isn't the problem...

  What is the brand and model of your router?  Almost all wifi routers also have at least one Ethernet port, you can connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable and download the right driver for your http://www.asus.com/support wireless card
  Have you tried to "Roll back driver" in the "Driver" tab of your adapter wifi 'properties' in Device Manager?  At the very least, determine which version of the driver is installed, and compare that to the current version on the asus support site.

• Computer laptop Windows 7 can not find wireless network connections

  My Samsung RV510's laptop had windows 7 on front and without wire worked but recently my hard drive for this laptop broke and I had to get a new HARD drive.

• PROBLEM! Cannot view wireless networks!

  Hi, I am currently running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my office and cannot view wireless networks!

  I tried to use two wireless adapters and both show active although they cannot show all networks.
  LAN works perfectly well and when I try to add a wireless network, it is said "an unexpected error has occurred."
  I have updated drivers for two adapters to the correct version wireless and little. No yellow icon in the Device Manager.
  I also checked to see if power saving has been enabled for the device and power options that are disabled.
  Two wireless adapters are using a USB port, not PCI. I abandoned everything simply! I need some advice on how to solve this problem! I can provide more information if necessary. But please help me with this problem :(
  I also disabled anti virus software and my firewall!
  The wireless adapter, I am using is the:
  TRENDnet TEW-649UB Wireless USB adapter N speed

  UPDATE! :
  We have some progress I uninstalled all the previous windows updates and can now see wireless networks (such as firewall/AV). The problem I have now is that when I try to connect it said "Windows could not connect. He also says in the settings of cards tab my wireless adapter is "authentication attempt.

  Hi Tatiana,

  ·         Have you tried to install the drivers from the manufacturer's Web site?

  ·         Have you checked if the network card works on another computer?

  Download drivers card network from the manufacturer's website and check manually.

  http://www.TRENDnet.com/downloads/list_subcategory.asp?SUBTYPE_ID=1353

  Alternatively, you can deal with this problem due to security software. I suggest that disable you the security like anti-virus and firewall software and check if the problem persists.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Call the helpline for the manufacturer of your network adapter. It is likely that neither Windows nor the router have problems, it's just a matter of getting the configuration on both put in place settings to work properly together. The manufacturer of the router will be the best resource to learn how to configure their device.

• Intel WiFi Link 5100 network card - cannot detect wireless networks

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7-1270us. My wireless card is an Intel WiFi Link 5100.

  Running Windows Vista 64 bit, Ubuntu Linux, Linux Mint and Fedora Linux (various versions, all), the wireless works fine. My desktop computers to work with wireless cards to connect to the network work very well, and all computers (except mine) to connect to my home network very well; which means that it is not a problem with wireless networks, or with my network card. I try to manually connect to the network, but it can't find it. Diagnosis requires that the card is disabled, and that I should turn it on via the switch on my laptop running: fact.

  During the installation of Windows 7 64 bit, I cannot see wireless networks (and therefore unable to connect). Re-formated and reinstalled again, check the wireless connectivity between each batch of Windows Update, but it has never worked.

  I downloaded the latest drivers from Intel, via Microsoft Compatibility Center (version 15.2.0 driver).

  There is no system restore option because he has never worked as a first step, except in all other OS, I got on the computer. Microsoft Compatibility says the map is compatible, then Device Manager shows no problems. The network adapter is active via switch on my laptop.

  Happy that you guessed it sorted!

• Satellite T135D - cannot detect wireless networks

  I bought a T135D early January.
  Everything was happy until one day my laptop decides it cannot detect wireless networks, and even less to connect to one.
  I don't think the T135 came with a manual switch, while in the BIOS it says it's on.

  The graph with the antenna and 4 bars charge is no longer at startup, or the light that lights up on the front of my laptop. It's frustrating to have this kind of problem so early in the game with the T135D.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  The wireless network must be activated by pressing the FN + F8 key combination.
  Have you tried that?

  If not, please check it

  Of course, you must make sure that the WLan card driver is always up to date.

• laptop HP pavilion g7 running windows 7 is more bed wireless network adapter

  My hp pavilion g7 as lx503av bed is no longer the wireless network card. instead of the icon being displayed wireless, I have only the icon of LAN. When I checked the Device Manager, the wireless network card was not shown. Once I scanned for hardware puts a couple of times, the adapter that presented themselves and the LAN icon changed the wireless icon. When I clicked it, it says "no connection is available" until my router is turned on and just next to me. In the meantime my wireless switch is turned off and remained so no matter how many times I try to turn it on. I tried reinstalling the drivers, nothing works. What continues?

• If I enable security on an ad hoc network, my Windows 7 client cannot recognize the network at all.

  XP host and client windows 7 on ad - hoc network...
  Dear friends, I have set up an ad hoc network between two laptops. The host is running on xp sp3 and the client is running windows 7.
  Now the problem is that if I enable security on the network, the client windows 7 cannot recognize the network at all.
  If I turn off security on the network ad-hoc, everything works fine and I can share files and access the internet on client... Please help

  Ok

  Now, I'm pretty sure that I understand your game up. Well done to get the internet connection, sharing of work (not a simple process) but without encryption.

  I am sure that the problem lies in the Windows 7 laptop (laptop 2). When you switch cell 1 to WEP, you must also pass portable 2 to WEP and provide the WEP key you have configured with laptop 1.

  It's getting late here now, but I'll try to answer tomorrow after I have test it on my two laptops to Windows 7. In the meantime maybe I can point you in the right direction...

  • Right-click the the small icon at the bottom right of your screen on laptop network 2 and then click on Open Network and Sharing Center
  • In network and sharing Center, click on manage networks wireless (nearby at the top left)
  • Click Add, and follow the wizard to create an ad hoc network, selecting WEP and providing the encryption key you configured on the notebook 1
  • Save the network so that you do not have to repeat this procedure.

  Otherwise, when you get to manage wireless networks, if your ad hoc network is already listed...

  • Right-click in your ad hoc network, and then click Properties
  • Click the Security tab
  • Change it to WEP and provide the encryption key
  • Click OK

  Good luck, I will pick up this new after my drowsiness.

• Satellite A300 1QE - Windows can't find any wireless network

  Hello

  Please help me with a problem of annoing with radio.

  The story is like this:-J' I bought a laptop with Vista preinstaled... I used only once the wireless and worked very well... after a while I have reinstaled Vista, vista ultimate editing... I used 2 days the wireless and then suddenly found no more... wireless network I have reinstaled vista 2 weeks ago, and now I bought a wireless router and set a network... same problem : "Windows cannot find any wireless network"... with a laptop dell, I found 2 networks (one I created and the other a neighbor with very good signal).

  Collaborative I've tried:

  1 http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9602NC0000R01.htm - in the directory toshiba\wlan there are 3 directories: intel, atheros and realtek... following the steps, the only factor that installs is intel one... If I try to navigate to the folder Realtek can't find anything compatible... (the network lan card is realtek, so I guess that the Wlan should be the same... as also indicated in the url)

  "I have the latest drivers from the toshiba Web site
  "the wireless is a turn on"

  2. I thought that might be a vista problems, so I instaled all the vista updates available... still no work

  The next sollution I try is updating the bios, but I have no whink it is useful.

  So please help me with a sollution for my WiFi problem!

  Thank you

  Hi creativu22,

  First, you must identify the type of wireless network card before you begin to install all the drivers available. Therefore, you can also search with vendor and device ID.
  Check this box!

  If you have installed the driver successfully and your wireless network adapter is listed in the Device Manager, you must check the TCP/IP settings. Maybe you need to use static IP addresses, but it depends on your router.

  Try turning off also in Power Options Windows WLAN energy saving features!

• Internet disconnects and cannot find wireless network periodically. I have to restart to fix it temporarily.

  SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!  I have a very old laptop, since 2002, I think, that is running XP Home. Recently my laptop started to cut all of a sudden and then cannot find the wireless network. I know that this is not the WiFi because my other laptop works very well. When I restart the laptop, it works up until I try to download something and sometimes turns off while I'm browsing. I have a RTL8185 wireless card, which I replaced it with the same model. Still no change. I spent weeks in different forums, try to understand this point, and I don't have a chance.

  I thank very you much for your time. I called my ISP and he told me to try restoring the system to determine if it was the settings or if it was the hardware. Instead, I decided to search the Internet how to speed up my network because Chrome was really slow on the cell affected.

  I happened to run across this Web site
  http://tweaks.com/Windows/37934/hacking-Windows-XP-speed-up-your-network-and-Internet-access/
  When I disabled all protocols except TCP/IP Protocol, the network WORKED! Now the Internet works, I can download large files and browse shared files with the same speed as my other laptop!
  I hope this can help someone else with this problem!
