Wireless adapter takes an age to recognize a wireless signal

Hello

I bought my Toshiba Satellite U200 about 15 days ago.

All works fine, except the wireless connectivity.

I have a BT homehub which has a connected PC on it. I also used the homehub wireless with my previous laptop too, so I don't know what to expect of him.

When I turn on the laptop, it does not pick up the wireless network immediately. If I use config-free and the connectivity doctor or the tool of network wireless windows, network connections does not get picked up, even when I refresh it. Unless I'm going one is sitting next to the homehub, or connect the cable on the homehub, it does not recognize the wireless network exists for about 10 minutes. It's annoying when you're in a hurry and want to just pop online for a while. Finally, it will identify the network and connect.

I tried all the options I can think. I know that's not a problem with the network or the homehub - my 2 other laptops work perfectly well and instantly connect to the wireless network.

I would greatly appreciate any help - it's driving me crazy!

Hello

Sorry, but I don t know what is exactly the problem! The laptop connects successfully to the WiFi router, but it takes a little more time as usual. Am I wrong?

In such cases, it is not easy to tell why it takes longer. There are too many possibilities and reasons for these issues.
It could just be a compatibility problem between the wireless network card and the WLan router or a different WLan settings

I put t know what Wlan card you are using but if it of a card Intel, you can test connectivity additional WLan utility called Intel Proset.
Additional disable firewalls and encryption settings. Test the connectivity and the check for improvements.
If you successfully you can activate the option simple one after the other.

  • Satellite L750 - low wireless signal

    I have a 5 day old L750 Satellite which can collect only 40% wireless signal less than 20cm from the router and loses signal total of about 2 m of him, turned to Toshiba support who suggested to the restoration of the system, did this and no improvement. Have you checked the Atheros driver and he said to his place to date, also checked the option to which has been suggested in other threads.

    The router is good because my vintage Compaq and ipad2 have full strength signal of several rooms by far.

    Please help as I'm pretty impressed with my first purchase of Toshiba and will return it if I can't solve this problem.

    Hello

    Have you noticed this problem only with the Eco Mode setting or also with power plan to high performance? This means that you must define * Maximum Performance * power option for the WLAN card in terms of power.

    Next to the update of the WLAN driver, you should also check the BIOS version. Take a look at the page if there is a newer version and if so try to update from Toshiba:

  • What's Dell Dimension 2400 desktop computer capable of capturing a wireless signal? Should this function be switched?

    Dell dimension 2400 desktop computer was plugged into the wireless router we have. We got a new computer and moved the old desktop (Dell 2400) in another room. It is not picking up, or even searching for a wireless signal. She still has this ability? How can we it give this ability?

    The Dimension 2400 is not normally a built-in wireless networking capability.  To view, go to the Control Panel > Classic view > System > hardware > Device Manager and double-click network adapters .

    If that doesn't show wireless network card, you can add it by buying a USB wireless network adapter or a Wireless PCI adapter card .

  • EA 6200 wireless signal disappears momentarily and returns

    I have a 6200 EA (EA6200), new with a computer, an apple TV and 4 Iphones/Ipads, all within walking distance.

    My problem: every once in a while, the wireless signal disappears for a minute or two and then returns to normal.

    During the navigation of the user interface, I was unable to find out if there is an event log to show what is happening, so that I'm flying blind.

    Which never happened with my much more old linksys wireless adapter.

    Thank you!

    Hi elnuevohomero,

    This may be caused by interference. Ensure that the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks have different SSID. Try changing channels as well.
    You can try using 6,3,9 or 1. It is also recommended to place the router on a higher location, where it can broadcast wireless signal properly.

  • Weather a barrier on the power of the wireless signal?

    FREE WI - FI, RAIN & SNOW

    If a Protocol "N" dual-band WI - FI adapter which is connected directly to the USB port of a laptop computer inside the House and the router is in the garage about ten feet, should there be a weakening of the reception quality in the good House when it happens to be raining or snowing in the area of 10 feet between the garage and the House?  In other words, in addition to METAL interference or microwave OVENS or WIRELESS PHONES... not the weather elements possibly hinder these network connections?

    I thank very you much for any information.

    Hello

    The weather could affect the signal strength. Radio transmission uses digital spread spectrum. Even if a small problem can spend because of lightning nearby, the packet will be retransmitted, you won't notice a difference. (Unless the lightning blew your 2.4 GHz wireless system telephone and microwave ovens are generating more effective disruption.

  • Wireless signal detection

    I have a WRT160N router that I currently use. When I'm doing a my computer wireless signal, my router does not show up on top of the list. It is therefore on the list when I put up like WEP, but will not be displayed when I went back to WPA2. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? It happens even with my Google phone mytouch.

    Well, I think that in this case you have to modify some additional settings on your router. Follow the steps below and change the settings of your router.

    Open an Internet Explorer browser on your computer (desktop) wired page. In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER... Let the empty user name & password use admin lowercase...

    For wireless settings, follow these steps: -.

    Click on the Wireless tab

    -Here, select manual configuration... Wireless network mode must be mixed...

    -Provide a unique name in the name box of the wireless network (SSID) in order to differentiate your network from your network of neighbors...

    -Set the Standard - 20 MHz Radio band and change the Standard channel to 11-2, 462 GHz... Wireless SSID broadcast should be enabled and then click on save settings...

    Please take note of the name of the wireless network (SSID) because it's the network identifier...

    For wireless security: -.

    Click the sub-tab under wireless > Wireless Security...

    Change the mode of WPA wireless security, encryption, select AES... Password input your desired WPA key. For example, MySecretKey, this will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.

    NOTE: The password must be more than 8 characters...

    Click the settings advanced wireless

    Change the tag to 50 interval > change the Fragmentation threshold to 2304, change the RTS threshold to 2304 > click 'save settings '...

    Now let's see if you can locate your wireless network and try to connect...

  • Wireless signal recognized but not internet connectivity: laptop HP 2000, model QE334UA, Windows 7

    I have a 2000 Notebook PC HP, Model # QE334UA, running Windows 7.  The wireless signal is showing all the bars at the bottom right, but I am unable connect wireless to what anyone (for example, any web browser, Outlook, Dropbox).  When you connect via a LAN, however, I have no problem.  Here are some details on what I tried:

    1.) this same problem occurs on all the networks I tried, even if the other computers are on these networks, is not a problem of router/modem.  Yet, I restarted those and nothing helped.

    Rebooted 2.) the computer.

    3.) done a system restore.

    4.) checked IPV4 settings make sure IP & DNS server addresses are configured to automatically get.

    5.) turned on and off the wireless on the keyboard button.

    6.) as gone with the Device Manager and press update driver software for all network adapters.

    7.) deactivated and reactivated all NICs.

    I have read many other forums - than where I got these ideas- and it seems a common problem, but I could not find an answer that works.  I'm not too technically savvy, so maybe I'm missing something, but any help would be LARGELY APPRECIATED, especially because my warranty just expired.

    Thank you

    I have it!  It turns out that my SonicWall VPN has been the origin of the problem.  Thank you!

  • my printer will not get the wireless signal and so my laptop can not find print, what should I do?

    How can I make the printer get the wireless signal?

    1 Microsoft do not have printers - so it would not be my first option to ask in the forums to help MS.

    2. we have even less likely to help when you do not tell us what printer, what operating system, what router wi - fi or anything!

    I suggest that you follow the instructions in your printer manual, with operating instructions of your wi - fi router to work things out.  You should connect the printer via a cable to the wireless installation.

    If stuck try the support forums on the Web site of the manufacturer of the printer with the forums on the website of the manufacturer of the router.

  • In more of microwave ovens and cordless phones... can TV, VCRs interfere with WIRELESS signals.

    WIFI & PHONES WIRELESS, ETC.

    In more of microwave ovens and cordless phones... can TV, VCRs interfere with WIRELESS signals.  I had to buy a cordless phone and it was always in the sealed box.  I was then with a laptop to the library branch when the librarian approached me and said that "even if unconnected cordless phones and microwave ovens, as well as TVS, VCRs and vacuums... can cause interference with the optimal speed of WIFI and efficiency... »

    Can someone explain if it is absolutely correct.  Of course, I politely responded that given that the laptop was still in its original packaging and seal (I had just bought and not even opened) and unplugged, it could not interfere with anything.
    Please specify.
    Thank you.
    Joe

    A non powered device (not plugged in, no batteries, etc.) cannot intervene in anything at all.  No power, no transmission, no interference. However, any electronic device can interfere to some extent with any other wireless signal, if it is running.

  • With the help of desktop computer as a wireless signal Repeater.

    I recently moved and my for my PS3 wireless reception is terrible, so I was told I could use this other desktop computer, which receives the signal much better, as a relay instead of buy a wireless signal Repeater. How can I get this computer also spread the signal from the original router downstairs?

    I'm sorry, but there is nothing built into Windows XP that can do what you want.

    You might be able to do a search on the web and find a third party program to do this.
