Windows knocked out my wifi XP update

Just got an update and now my wifi does not work.  I was working, and the update says that he had to do a restart.  after reboot, wifi doesn't connect.  Unfortunately, I had turned off restoring the system a couple of months because of some software I was running and I forgot to turn it back on.  I tried to uninstall all updates made today, but it did not help. I am running windows XP Pro on a Lenovo T61 laptop.

Can someone tell me what the update was for today?  How can I reverse its effect?

Thank you!

The f

Figured it out.  The last update for some reason cops the login ThinkAdvantage.  That's what I used to manage all my wifi connections.  I found the software on lenovo Web site and reloaded it, and he was able to connect again!  Hope it helps someone else.

  • Windows Update has knocks out printer

    Acer M3201 with printer Lexmark X 1270, connected to internet through bthomehub willingly works until 6 months ago. Helpdesk contacted several times returned PC triple problem solved. NO.

    Own investigation has printer comms knocked out when it is connected to the internet. Reset computer on day 1, everything has worked. load windows, returned problem updates.

    Grateful for any suggestion

    lapsedbiker,
    First of all, I would say that you update all your hardware drivers and check the updates of BIOS Acer.
    Also perform a clean boot and see if the problem persists. If so, the best way to determine the cause or start deleting groups of updates and tests.  Or reset your PC back to factory default and then install a small group of updates and test between the groups.

  • 5 GHz WiFi card update - Compaq Presario

    I just got a new router today and found out that it is a double router broadband and supports the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. I was wondering if I could update my existing WiFi card that supports only the 2.4 GHz and get one that will take in charge the 5 GHz band. Also if I have a 5 GHz WiFi card in my laptop can still connect to networks that support 2.4 GHz only? How much would cost a new card? And finally, if I can improve my card, how I put in my laptop?

    Data sheet:

    Model: Compaq Presario CQ57-33WM

    OS: upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro

    Memory: Updated 6 GB of RAM

    Hard drive: 320 GB 5400 RPM

    Processor: FSB of 1333 MHz 1.50 GHz Intel Celeron processor B800

    Network cards:

    Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter

    Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller

    (A lot of WAN Miniports is also listed in Device Manager)

    Can I still switch my wireless card based on these specifications? It would be difficult to change? Let me know if you need more information on the computer.

    Also, if it ends up that I can't change my card or it is really hard to change, could use something like this as a last resort? Double USB adapter wireless broadband

    Any help is appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Hello

    According to the service manual this lappy does not support 5 GHz wireless cards. Most recent computers based Intel Mobile (Ivy Bridge and higher) support the latest maps wireless Intel including the last 7260AC one. Your laptop is older, so I can't say with certainty what will work or not. In this case I suggest to get some usb adapters wireless such as that of your link or one of them:

    Go in Start > run and type winver to know. You must run Windows 7 Home Premium or higher in order to create an ad hoc network. Windows 7 Starter Edition cannot act as a server/host adhoc.

  • Express Mystery ethernet airport knocks out internet

    Hello world

    Up to what a month ago my home network worked perfectly until a fault on the line (which was repaired subsequently by an engineer) seemed high.

    Below is a network card in my home airport network. The top-level TimeCapsule Airport (last generation, 3 TB) connects to a VDSL of TP-Link modem.

    The only difference between my current network configuration and the previous network was that I had hard wired the 2 flat (last generation) airport expresses, KN - AEX and LR - AEX, together via ethernet. LR - AEX (salon) was within the scope of top-level wireless airport TimeCapsule (ATC) and KN - AEX (kitchen) expand my network on a lower floor, which had wireless in view of the thick concrete slab between ground and basement.

    Now, as soon as I connect no matter what 2 Airport Express or combination of TimeCapsule / airport express base station together viaethernet seems to knock out my internet connection.

    Anyone have an idea how I can fix this problem? Is this a bug or a wrong setting? Apple support on chaining Airport Express does not seem as if it's been updated for a while. I can't be the only person who needs to have this kind of game, either

    I reset each express and TimeCapsule to factory settings and started from scratch several times. I built the network an express at the same time. It is only when I connected puts it together that I immediately saw the internet connection down (I also tried multiple ethernet cables that I know to work). I fixed the permissions (which seems to fix the infuriating renaming of my main TimeCapsule ATC (2), (3) ATC, ATC (4) etc. in a seemingly random way).

    I am running on an iMac 27 "10.11.3 end 2013 3.4 GHz Core i5, 16 GB of RAM and the merger of 3 TB drive.

    Below shows what happens when an ethernet cable is connected between an airport express and all TimeCapsule (I tried all to see if one of my base stations was defective).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Mike

    Now, as soon as I connect no matter what 2 Airport Express or combination of TimeCapsule / airport express base station together viaethernet seems to knock out my internet connection.

    4 airports in the above figure are configured to connect to the main ATC using a Wi-Fi connection. (The dotted line means a wireless connection network... an Ethernet connection would display as a solid line)

    From the four lower level airports have all been configured to connect using a Wireless connection... it's the connection that they expect... .wireless.

    If you now connect an Ethernet cable to one of these devices (expect wireless)... This action will create a massive feedback loop which will be in effect, the network crash.

    If you want to connect to an airport using Ethernet... you must start over and reset the airport back to the default settings.

    Then, you establish Ethernet connection before that start to set up the device again.  In this way, the "Wizard" will configure the device to connect via Ethernet, and things will work fine on the network.
