Windows 7 occasionally abandons the wireless connection

I have recently upgraded to Windows 7, but now I'm having a problem with my internet connection.  My wireless signal will intermittently from all five to four bars, and moments later displayed a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside.  At this point, the connection disappeared entirely, and I need to reboot to restore.  Not only that, but the computer turns off as normal, so I held down the power button to stop it.  I know that's not particularly good for my computer, but it pales in comparison to the boredom of an unreliable signal.  Sometimes the signal will last for a few hours at a time, but sometimes I have to restart less than five minutes after turning on my computer in the first place.  Also, when the signal falls this way my computer sometimes has extremely slow (so slow I can't even close the browser window) before freezing altogether.

It seems that this problem is exacerbated when the connection is moving a lot of data... for instance, I recently bought the game Mass Effect on Steam, but when I try to download the connection almost immediately falls.  It's frustrating because I've already paid for the game and I like to be able to install and play.

My wireless network adapter appears in the device like a Linksys RangePlus Wireless USB Network Adapter Manager.  The model number is WUSB100.  I tried updating the driver through the Device Manager, but he seems to think it's common.  I really want a solution to this problem.  Is not the first one I've had since the much-maligned Vista upgrade, which in fact never gave me problems.  I managed to fix the other on mine, but at this point, it's been almost a month since I upgraded and I'm tired of not having a reliable connection.  Thank you very much!

    Symptom: In normal operation, the wireless connection to the router drops to limited connection (No. Internet).  It does not actually lose the router, he loses just an internet connection.

  • Re: Satellite L670 loses the wireless connection

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L670 - 1 H 1, a new laptop that runs Windows 7, with all the drivers and software uptodate, including the wireless card.

    I have a BT Home Hub 3 with an Edimax EW 7416APN v2 300 m range extender to help boost the signal in the kitchen area.

    The laptop works fine when I stay in the room where the reception centre. If I move in the kitchen the laptop will usually lose the wireless connection after a few minutes and I cannot get it back unless I turn the LAPTOP works and return to the Home Hub.

    I see no obvious reason to this problem. Two other laptop computers used in the home, more a smartphone stay connected with full signal in every corner of the House, at any time.

    I have to use the range extender, but is it possible that the laptop Toshiba just don't hear well with it?

    Any advice would be welcome.

    Thank you

    Hello Canton

    As you know quality of connection WLAN depends on different factors is not easy to say why you have this problem, WLAN. I use Toshiba laptops for a long time now and I didn't notice in the past some serious question of WLAN.
    For example I'm 4 router with standard g and have very good signal even in the cellar too or out in the back yard.

    If possible, try to test the WLAN connection elsewhere. Maybe your friends have WLAN routers so you can test it.

    You have a new router or old?
    What WLAN standard do you use (b/g/n)?

  • Satellite L505-13F - impossible to activate the wireless connection

    Hello, I have connectivity problems with my Satellite L505-13F.

    I can't turn on the wireless connection. I press Fn + F8 and nothing happens. The indicator at the bottom of the laptom turns on.

    I though this would be a problem with the drivers. I downloaded realtek wlan driver here [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads], but it has not installed correctly. Then I used the toshiba software installer, but yet again, nothing has changed. I have Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.

    Device management, I have seen that I installed a wifi driver. (Realtek RTL8191SE Wirelless Lan...) So, what the problem is?

    Any suggestions?

    Hey,.

    Something happens if you press other keys FN or FN + F8 doesn't work only? Normally with this key combination you can enable/disable wireless network card.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know what happens if you are looking for WLAN networks. You see your WLAN router?

    If all the keys FN n t work, reinstall the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards. Otherwise, it could be another problem and you should reinstall the driver again and make sure the firewall isn't blocking the connection.

    See you soon

  • Repairs on the wireless connection

    I have a Dell dimension and we have wireless broadband via a router. In this computer, the connection with the browser keeps turn off even if the wireless connection says "excellent". We must repair the connection to the internet to relive. We use Windows XP Pro SP3. This problem will not occur with any other laptop or computer in the House.

    Hi Tinker7,

    Method 1

    This problem may occur if theenable IEEE 802. 1 X authentication for this network check box is selected. If this box is checked, but there is no server to authenticate the connection is interrupted. If you turn on the wireless network connection, it disconnects again after a short period.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails then I suggest that you update the wireless desktop network card driver from the card manufacturer's website.

  • Windows firewall stops when a wireless connection is established.

    Windows firewall stops when a wireless connection is established during the start-up or wakup or manually connected via wireless.  The firewall can be activated manually after wireless connection is established.  Firewall survives boot and reactivation if computer connected to the router via ethernet (cable).

    OS is 32-bit Vista Home Premium, SP2.  The platform is Acer A4720Z dual-core Intel laptop.  Wireless adapter is integrated Atheros AR5007EG - Atheros 7.70.396 driver (whidh is current & compatible Microsoft version).

    Current virus/firewall is MSE and MS Firewall.  No firewall problem until the installation of Security Essentials.  Previous virus/firewall was Mcafee SecurityCenter Suite that uninstalled cleanly via the Remove Mcafee (MCPR.exe) utility.

    All the relevant ideas welcome. Thank you.

    Go to network and sharing Center and then choose manage wireless network and try to remove this Wireless if it is there and try to add it again if you want. Try to upgrade Microsoft Security Essentials and also check for update for Windows. Also, run the full system scan and remove potential threats. If the problem has not resolved then contact technical support:

  • all-in-one 7510 loses the wireless connection

    We just bought a HP Photosmart 7510. She created fine with a wireless connection to our office for Vista 64-bit. After awhile, he loses the wireless connection. If I close the printer then turn on again, it resets the connection and works very well. I read that it can lose connection if it goes into sleep mode, and it seems that is what is happening. My question is, is there a way to keep the impression of loss of connection or enter the mode 'sleep'? Or do we have to put the printer only whenever we wanted to print, copy or scan? If so, the printer is adjustable to disable instead of switch mode 'sleep'?

    Already set to 'off '. I found this thread http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/7510-photosmart-printer-energy-mode/m-p/1230681/highlight/true#M33814 I tried this and so far it works and has not lost its connection.
