• Y50: Clean Windows 7 install, WiFi problem

  Hi all

  Recently, I installed an SSD. I installed windows 7 Ultimate today, no problem. Was very easy. I installed all the readers on my USB Lenovo website. Everything seems good but the WiFi will not detect. I restarted my laptop after installing the drivers, still no good. I'm trying to brain any solutions I can think of the storm. When I get home from work, I intend to download readers updated to intel. I also looked in the forums, but nothing for Y50.

  Any suggestions?
  Thanks to you all

• WLAN / WiFi problem after 10 Windows upgrade

  After an upgrade to Windows 10, WiFi seems to have been turned off, and when I try to activate it with Fn + F8, it says I need to activate the WiFi switch but there is no physical switch WiFi on this laptop model. And no luck trying to activate it right click on the adapter, via Windows GUI or the WiFi icon on the keyboard.

  Tried to install the latest drivers for Realtek WiFi adapter Toshiba and the Toshiba system driver but no luck either.

  I think that this issue may not be specific to the Win10 upgrade... Opportunity experienced by those who have upgraded to Windows 8, but impossible to find all the topics with a quick search.

  Anyone know how I can be able to work around this problem?

  Thank you.

  I have the same problem, but my work around is to go to my program leader, Toshiba, Flashcard, button Support and click on TBSWireless. The WiFi icon will toggle on and off this icon. For me that only turns on the WiFi light, I then use the Fn/F8 key to activate the wifi. To check it works I have remove the LAN plug. It may be useful

• Intermittent WiFi problem after upgrade to Windows 10

  My acer aspire V3 - 571 has been intermittently lose WiFi for the last 2 days since Windows 10 Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade.

  The Aspire has:

  Driver Atheros wireless network adapt AR5BWB222 10.0.0.38 Wednesday 2/15/12

  So far, I have:

  1. in the properties Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network Adapter, I unchecked the box in the tab property management who read allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

  1B. Made sure flight mode was in the off position.

  1 c. Forget exactly where I did, but made certain settings in another? location have been set to "Maximum Performance".

  2. check that the firmware is updated on my network router, the value 2 of WPA - PSK (AES) security.

  3. search through many forums to read the responses of people upgrading Windows 10 WiFi issues - seems it is a widespread problem, although no one said that the WiFi signal loss was intermittent, as is my laptop. Shots of the Internet for my research also shows WiFi problems occurred in the past for installation of Windows 8. (So far have not come across mentions of WiFi problems for the latest installations of Windows 7).

  4. in exploring my laptop, I came across a page of Microsoft Updates - SEE ATTACHED. I was surprised to find that these updates go out quite frequently during the day. For example, 10 separate updates between 23:30 and 16:24 on August 1 and 18 separate updates between 12 h 06 at 15:57 on August 2.  Included in the record of updates for August 1 and August 2. I am aware that Microsoft uses my WiFi to download updates AUTOMATICALLY. It is possible that this intermittent intermittent interruptions of the WiFi update download?

  5. this afternoon, when the WiFi did not work for Windows 10. I reinstalled as a dual boot Ubuntu 14.04. I have had no trouble to connect to the WiFi for Ubuntu.

  Not yet:

  1. I haven't tried connecting the laptop via an Ethernet cable to my router during one of these WiFi failure.

  2. my ISP is a VOIP/Internet, using a Westell and a single Cisco router configuration. I have not taken into account if they can be a cause of the problem.

  3. I read on a forum that someone corrected their problem with WiFi connection by changing their setting include TKIP security router

  NOTE: I need to put Windows screenshot attachment 10 updates in a response email separate to this post as this post does not accept the attachment.

  Would appreciate your comments and suggestions. Thanks in advance.

  I'll probably also put this on a Windows 10 forum elsewhere.

  Hello!

  FYI, this has worked for me, finally a solution!

  The strangest thing - I have uninstalled the driver Atheros. Do NOT reinstall it. After uninstalling the driver Atheros, a right screen Windows 10 panel immediately appeared style - either on advice of Panel or in the page settings of WiFi, was asleep, can't remember which - that contains an entry box marked my wifi password. I entered the password and boom, the wifi worked. He has been since.

  Once again thank you. Mark resolved.

• 10 Windows WiFi problems

  Hello

  I have a Windows 10 partition on my MacBook Pro (Early 2015) retina. I use Windows on a regular basis, and recently, I have a lot of problems with my WiFi. Today, I completely lost my private WiFi connection and I can't solve this problem. I restarted my router several times and nothing has changed. I installed the Windows updates before - maybe that's the reason? Is it possible to reinstall the Boot Camp software? I currently have version 6.0. I can only find the versions 5.x on Apple's site. Or how can I fix this? In my device manager, the card network Broadcom 802.11ac is listed and even my router said: that the MBP is connected to WiFi. The network card is also says that I'm connected to the network, but access is limited (no internet access). WiFi works fine on my other devices like my iPhone 6 s. If you need anything else to know, feel free to ask.

  Thank you in advance.

• WiFi problem after upgrade to Windows 10

  Greetings!

  I read a few posts on WiFi problems after the (improper) upgrade of Windows 10. I have a ThnkPad T530 which I've upgraded to Windows 10 Windows 7 in September (too late to roll back). Here's my question:

  I have three computers on my desk. This standard T530 running Windows 10, a ThnkPad E555 running Windows 7 and a Dell running Windows 8. I used all three last Friday. I installed Norton on all three Friday and everything went without a hitch. When I first started their return to the top of this morning, the two others came online as usual. The ThinkPad T530 connected by a router in the company, but has no access to the internet. I can connect to the hotspot on my phone and it connects fine. I tried to turn the WiFi connection and then turn it on again, restart, by killing and restarting the business connection, etc. Nothing changes.

  Help, please

  Ben

  Try the following:

  Open administrator command prompt:

  SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! REALLY ANNOYED WITH THIS PROBLEM

  Hello @jay05,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! The forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

  I came across your post about the WiFi problem and wanted to help!  I understand that you have found the DNS errors.

  First of all, try to review the steps offered by Community Member

  @Great-Christine-Tree:

  First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:
  Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access

  A second option is to try the following steps:
  Powercycle the network:
  1. turn off your laptop.
  2. unplug the power to your router.
  3. disconnect the power to your modem.
  4. wait at least 45 seconds.
  5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
  6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
  7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.
  
  Turn off the power to the adapter:
  1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
  2. expand the network adapters.
  3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
  4. click on the power management tab.
  5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
  6. click on OK.
  7 test cycle.
  
  Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.
  
  It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.
  
  Reinstall the NIC drivers:
  1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
  2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
  3. expand network adapters.
  4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
  5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
  6. restart your PC and test.
  
  Test an ethernet connection:
  Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.
  
  Test another connection:
  Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.
  
  If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down list in the upper right of the document.

  More specifically,.

  1. go in control/material Panel and power sound/options/change of setting.

  2. click on advanced power settings.

  3. scroll the settings of the wireless cards

• Windows 7 wireless connection problem

  I just bought a brand new Alienware m17x and all drivers are up to date... .IM with broadcom wireless network adapter. The strange thing is that last night I was on the internet for several hours without any problem using the wireless, but this morning iwas unable to use my wireless internet access. This has happened several times now. Sometimes it says "not connected - no available connections" and sometimes he says "not connected connections are available" when she says, links, I try to connect to the network, but it says "unable to connect to the network. The only time wherever I was able to connect to wireless internet, was when my computer is automatically connected to my wireless network without me having to select the network and attempt to connect. I read things about windows 7, with a mode of "sleeper" for wireless connections or something, and that can be the cause of it and that it is better to turn off or downgrade to xp. I am really frustrated because I am not able to connect wirelessly and I hope you guys can help me find a solution.

   

  Guide to correctly troubleshoot wireless M17x
  with Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card
  by Glzmo

  Since many new Alienware M17x all powerful users, especially those who use Windows 7 as operating system there are various problems with their Wi - Fi connection and post threads asking how their difficulty over and over again, I decided to write this guide to show them how to solve these issues properly Commons. The solutions in this guide were created and designed for 64-bit Windows 7, but they may also work in Windows Vista, although these problems were experienced by users of Windows 7 mainly in the past. It could very well be that the problems start occurring in Vista as well with the new drivers and Windows updates.

  I. may not connect to the wireless network and or see the wireless adapter when the Ethernet cable is disconnected
  If you sometimes or always unable to connect to the wireless network, cannot connect to the wireless network when the Ethernet cable is disconnected, unable to connect to a wireless network unless you restart once to get this work and other weird problems to be unable to connect to a wireless network continue with section II. Otherwise, continue with section II..

  Sleep of a.i. Disable on disconnect device
  Some new Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a function called sleep device to disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the card Ethernet to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it is buggy and thus kill the wireless connection as well.
  Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Ethernet Nvidia card:
  1. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
  2 double-click network adapters.
  3 double click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (Yes, that's indeed wired Ethernet adapter).
  4 click on the Advanced tab.
  5 select sleep on disconnect device.
  6 set the value to disabled.
  7 click OK and wireless should work again (may require a reboot later, but probably not).

  I.b. install different drivers (older) who do not have the device sleeping on disconnect feature.
  The above does not work or if you are not comfortable with these drivers, follow these steps (if step A.i. was successful, you will not need to follow these steps). Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding:
  1. click the Windows Start button in the taskbar.
  2 click on Control Panel.
  3 click on uninstall a program.
  4 in the list, double-click Nvidia drivers.
  5. Mark Remove only the following.
  6 in the box below, only check the Nvidia Network driver.
  7 click Remove and follow the uninstall instructions.
  8 restart the system, if you are prompted to.
  9 download another (older) driver from Nvidia.
  10 install the old driver.
  11 when asked what drivers you want to install, select only the network driver.
  12 follow the installation instructions and restart your system if prompted.

  II. Low or fluctuating wireless connection speeds
  If you have problems with WiFi low connection speeds (such as rates decline over time, the speeds are much lower than they should be, network lag/stutter in online games, loss of light packets, loss of internet connection as LAN works and other weird things) or speeds of fluctuating wildly without apparent reason wireless connection install the version of the Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8 drivers instead of the standard Broadcom drivers. All older drivers will usually cause the speed of connection under normal. Note, however, that you may need to install the driver manually via Device Manager as the pilot was not released for another laptop and is not officially available to the M17x yet - that's why the installer won't work. Take care to create a system restore point before proceeding.
  Here is a step by step how manually install the driver:
  1. download the drivers Dell Wireless 5.60.18.8.
  2 check out the R29128.exe file using an extraction utility like WinRAR or just run it and quit the installation program.
  3. open the Device Manager of Windows by pressing Win + break, and then click on Device Manager on the left side.
  4 double-click network adapters.
  5 double-click the Broadcom 802.11n network adapter entry.
  6 click on the driver tab.
  7 click the button Update driver .
  8 click Browse my computer for driver software.
  9 click on Let me take form a list of drivers for devices on my computer.
  10 click the disk provided .
  11 click Browse.
  12. select the folder that you extracted the drivers you just downloaded in step 1. in.
  13 select the subfolder DRIVER_US (if you are in the United States), DRIVER_JP (if you are in the Japan) or DRIVER_ROW (if you are in the rest of the world), according to the region you are in.
  14 click on the Open button.
  15 click OK.
  16 select the driver that says Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card of the list (you may have to scroll down to see - it presents itself as second to the last in the list for me).
  17 click on the Next button.
  18 you will get a warning that the driver that you are about to install is not compatible with your hardware. Ignore the warning and proceed with the driver installation.
  19 restart your system if prompted to do so.
  20 your new driver should now be properly installed and the speed of your wireless connection in the order.

  III. If all else fails (or you've just had enough of boredom arising from the Dell Wireless 1510/Broadcom card)
  Replace the Dell Wireless 1510 problem with a card half-mini Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 A/G/N (use the bluetooth as the third antenna antenna or buy you an additional antenna for this). It works very well with the M17x, has better connection speeds to strips of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (this last has speeds really bad on the Broadcom/1510), it has not required to jump through the hoops to make it work properly and much more, it works with standard drivers and Intel maintains their drivers up to date. It is also much more reliable and faster as well, especially on the 5 GHz band, but also on the 2.4 GHz band.

  For more information on the subject of tweaking the settings of your Dell Wireless card, check out the official setting advanced properties: Dell Wireless WLAN Card User Guide.

  I hope that this guide will help you solve your Wi - Fi connection and allow you to enjoy speeds of complete wireless connection on your laptop Alienware M17x.

  Addendum: Quick links in this Guide

  Driver wireless Dell 5.60.18.8 version
  Download the driver for the Mini PCI Dell Wireless 1510 card used in this guide.

  Broadcom 943xx Wireless Driver version 5.60.18.41
  Download the latest Broadcom driver as an alternative to the Dell a little older driver who may or may not solve the problems more. Some have seen more success than with the 5.60.18.8 drivers with it (you need to use the 802.11n network adapter driver rather than at the entrance to Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini Card in step II.15. the guide when you use this driver).

  Setting advanced properties: Dell Wireless WLAN card User Guide

  Link to buy the demi-mini card Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 A/G/N of dell.com upgrade the crappy Wireless Dell 1510/Broadcom card that comes with the M17x.

• Connection of the user before Windows 8 PRO WiFi connection

  Windows 8 Pro, WiFi doesn't connect before a user connects.  I manage all the remote PC and restart them remotely via remote desktop.  In Windows 7, we had only to ensure that the availability of the wireless profile has been created for all USERS.  In Windows 8 PRO, even if I have my profile wireless for all users it does not.  If I try to connect with Remote Desktop, and a user is not already connected, the wireless connection is turned off.  If I connect remotely to a user, the WiFi off as well.  It is a major issue.  Is there a difficulty, a configuration change to enable the WiFi for the value IT if no user is logged on?  I'm about to go back to Windows 7 PRO.  Windows 8 is great, but I'm so again, I don't want to think about.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you, KG

  Thanks PBWS.  In fact, I solved the problem.  The problem was caused by the WiFi I was using either WPA2 Enterprise encryption.  As soon as I changed my personal WPA2 worked well all.    Under Windows 7 PRO, it wasn't a problem.

  Thanks in any case.

• iPhone WiFi problem

  Hey, my iPhone 5s has a Wifi problem. I'll send text messages, but will not work iMessage. I can receive emails and receive phone calls. But, when I open my apps video/social media (Youtube, Amazon, Instagram, Snapchat, video etc.), the wifi does not work. Can someone tell me how to fix it? Thank you

  Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Suggest from the top and bottom. Maybe one of them will help you.

  (1) perform a forced reboot: hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Leave the device to reboot.

  (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

  (3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth).

  (4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

  (5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.

  (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

  (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

  (8) backup and restore the device using iTunes (ask for more details if you wish).

  (9) go to the Apple Store for the evaluation of the material.

• 10.11.3 WiFi problems (Macbook Pro end 2013)

  Hi everyone-

  This morning, I noticed that my rMBP has updated 10.11.3 Although I was under the impression that I was not in the beta version more.

  in any case, I'm a part of a home where the WiFi signal is sketchy (I tried before with utilities wireless in diagnostic tools), but with this update, I can't get any reception more. On the other hand if I boot Windows 10 side (bootcamp) I can connect... It is at a point (weak signal) but I can still connect. It's the same with an air of iPad 2 in the same place.

  If something tells me the WiFi drivers have declined in this version. Is there anyway that I can change the TX side Mac power for example?

  Thank you

  Houman

  So, I moved to another part of the House where I used to connect no problem WiFi and the same question. Now the MBP sees the Wifi router, but it won't let me connect. Even when I removed the router and tried to connect, it asks me a password, but refuses to connect.

  In contrast, side Windows (bootcamp) has no problem (3 bars) and other devices can connect as well.

  It is clearly a problem of driver wifi on the latest versions of El Capitan.

  I don't know if this is related to your problem, but using the battery will cause the unit to run in a different way compared to the mode high performance when it is plugged. So you can try to change the power plan to high performance in battery mode. Of course, this will cause a more rapid evacuation of your battery.
