• Intermittent problems of wireless connection in Windows 7 Ultimate

  I recently bought Dell Studio XPS 1645 Windows 7 Ultimate edition. I am facing a frustrating problem with Wi - Fi. The connection is down and reconnect. I have the adapter Intel Wireless 5300 AGN and a router Dlink Wireless G I tried to update the latest drivers from Intel (Driver Version: 13.0.0.107), disabling IPv6 for all network interfaces, configuration of the wireless adapter to only use IPv4 and so on. I have 2 other systems with XP Professional on my home network. As soon as I start my Windows 7 laptop, the chaos begins. The router restarts every few seconds, other disconnected systems and so on. I have not found so far any solution on the internet that could solve this problem.

  Other observations that may help to understand my problem:

  1. once my wireless adapter disconnects, the ping my router fails. It tells me whenever my system is asking for a new IP address.

  2 Event Viewer displays multiple entries, which indicates that the DHCP could not get an address. The error looks like as follows:

  The lease of the IP address 192.168.0.100 to the network with the network 0x00216A934EE2 address card has been refused by the 192.168.0.1 DHCP server (the DHCP server sent a DHCPNACK message).
  

  It gets an IP address later, but I do not understand why my adapter tries several times to get a new address every few seconds.
  DHCPNACK is the negative acknowledgement which router returns Win 7 DHCP client. I believe is that the client requests an address that is not available. Why would be client DHCP running on Windows 7 this?

  3. I have a D-Link WBR-1310 wireless router G with the latest firmware. Web sites of the reports that it is compatible with 32 and 64-bit Windows 7.

  4. I see no problems with the wired connection.

  As I type this, which could take a few minutes, my wireless connection rolled 7-10 times. All ideas, experts?

  If you need more information, let me know.

  I was able to find the main cause of intermittent disconnections on wireless interface. According to the information I have collected on internet forums and my research, I did as a result of configuration changes that have stabilized the connection. These settings work when you have N wireless adapter and a B/G Router:

  The wireless adapter settings:
  
  The driver for the most recent driver update.
  Access the properties of your adapter wireless network and sharing Center.
  Click on "Configure" and select the "Advanced" tab Make sure the following is in place:

  1 channel 802.11n for bands of 2.4 and 5.2 width are set to 'Auto '.
  2 disable 802.11n Mode
  3. Ad Hoc channel 802. 11b / g should be 1 or even that you have configured on your router.
  4. Ad hoc QoS Mode, keep WMM disabled - disable the router too. My wireless connection is stable once I made this change.
  5 fat Channel intolerant - disabled
  6. mixed mode protection - RTS/CTS enabled
  7 roaming aggressiveness - the lowest
  8 flow Enhancement - active
  9 transmitting the power - low
  10 mode wireless - 802.11 g

  Uncheck the box "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" on the tab "power management."

  Other Configurations:

  1. disable IPv6 completely. Uncheck 'Internet Protocol IPv6' in the wireless connection properties window. Repeat this for every other network connection you have.
  2. make sure you have the latest firmware installed on your wireless router.
  3 CTS Mode should be disabled in the configuration of your router 'Advanced Wireless' auto and WMM function.
  4. use only the WEP or WPA Wireless Security. Other methods have problems with 802.11n adapters.
  5. do not disable broadcasting of the SSID of your router. You don't need when your network is secure.

  I hope this helps.

• How to enable a wireless connection in Windows 7

  I changed ISP and need a wireless connection.  When 4 years ago, I bought my desktop computer, Windows 7 is already installed.  My computer says that the wireless connection is not activated but that doesn't tell me how to activate it.   I searched in all network settings and can't see any other reference to it so I can't find out how to activate it.   I spent almost 3 days trying to solve this problem, so I hope someone can help.

• Is there a way to authenticate a wireless connection in Windows 7 without defining the wireless to connect automatically and then restart?

  Windows 7 machines tell unauthenticated when connected wireless to our domain. The unauthenticated message disappears if we connect automatically to wireless connection and restart. Is there a way to authenticate without a connection to the wireless automatically and restart? For example, I would like to connect manually to the wireless, whenever I want and as soon as I do that authenticates.

  I use a router configured medialink wireless more as a wireless switch. DHCP comes from our server. Security is WPA-Personal. I also tried to use a different wireless router configuration with a radius with PEAP server and that does not work either. The server radius authenticated the user, but the message on the computer remained the same: "domain.local 2 unauthenticated.

  Each way in which users are able to access the resources, but this message is driving me crazy. We do not get this message on all XP machines.

  Client side, I tried to turn on the discovery of the network, joined the field, turn off any firewall (only using windows), updated drivers NETWORK card, update the firmware on the router, etc..

  Am I missing something?

  Thank you!

• Wireless connectivity problems: Windows Vista displays connected to the internet with good signal, but cannot access the internet more than a few seconds.

  Hello

  Recently, I brought a Dell with Windows Vista and a Belkin Wireless adapter in my house somewhere else. The computer has never had problems connecting to wireless internet on the other networks, however since the move I was not able to access the internet. Sometimes the network shows only a local connection and not Internet and other times, the network has a strong signal, a network identified and even an internet connection, but when I open any browser, it is only able to load the Google homepage and I cannot navigate anywhere else. I turned off all firewalls and even uninstalled all 3rd party software protection. I checked all my browser settings and made sure they detect automatically the IP settings and proxy settings. In other words everything seems in good shape, but I still have no navigation capability. Any ideas?

  It turns out that I had to remove all the old Wireless USB software that had been used previously (there had been other versions of Belkin and Linksys). I then used the computer from my friend to download suitable driver on the Belkin site for the internet adapter USB I used and BAM.

• HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z Wireless connection print Windows Vista, but not from Windows 7

  Printer HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z seems to be connected to my Dell laptop with Windows 7 on HP Solution Center page, but does not print. Documents just get stuck in QC. It was printing then it wasn't so that's when it wasn't. The printer works when I print from a laptop more old Vista. The last time this happened, I uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software and that doesn't seem to help. Then, for some inexplicable reason, impression began to work. It has now stopped working again. I can scan the Windows 7 laptop but not print. I tried all the troubleshooting tools that I could find without success. Thanks for trying to help.

  Hello-

  It could be caused by a couple of things:

  1. firewall on PC or router.

  2 interference (microwave, cordless phone base @ 2.4 Ghz)

  3 distance from router

  4 corrupted printer driver.

  Turn off the firewall you have and you move anything that can cause interference to router.

  If none of the above solves the problem, I'll have to install a different printer driver.

  Click Start.

  Go to devices and printers.

  Click Add a printer.

  Add a local printer. Create a new Port, then choose "Standard TCP/IP port.

  Click Next.

  TypeRegeditdans in the box 192.168.1.12 IP address or host name. (uncheck the box 'Interrogate the printer')

  Click Next.

  When the printer list opens, click windows update. (it takes a few minutes)

  After the box appears, choose HP (not Hewlett Packard) on the left and choose "Deskjet 990c" on the right.

  Click Next, the default value and end.

  Try to print using the printer Deskjet 990c.

• WRT160N Wireless connectivity limited or not

  Hello. I have a WRT160N router set up on a XP computer with DSL service. Have a Realtek to connect to the network local and Marvell Yukon for the wireless, which presents itself as the connection to the local network 5 in network connections. The Realtek works well but the Marvell Yukon shows "limited or no connectivity" and cannot renew the IP address. Tried to manually key in one IP address, but it runs very slowly (584 sent, received 4) and Network Magic also does not detect connections wireless at all.

  Y does it have wireless connection can get a speed much better with the IP address or are there other parameters that need to be adjusted for this? Is it possible to have two connections working or should be just one or the other?

  Hello. Yes, the OS is Win XP Pro. For some reason, the wireless network connection properties has a second tab for wireless network. The second tab there arises as advanced.

  What finally solved it for me has been assigned an ip address that has worked. Both cards work fine at the same time without any conflict so far. Only using one of them at this point, but it is good to know that the other is works when necessary.

  Thanks for your help, if. Really appreciate it.

• Very limited wireless connection

  I have a HP Pavilion dv7 - 3153ca with a 64-bit windows system 7 and I'm only able to get a wireless connection when the laptop is very close to the modem. Once the laptop is moved, for example, to another floor of the House, the connection is lost and cannot be re established until I have the back next to the modem. He has no problem with the wired connection. This has happened while he was trying to pass my McAfee security provider, although I don't think this is the problem that my other laptop (a Dell) converted without this problem. The other laptop continues to maintain its connection Wireless throughout the House, so the router and the modem is not the issue. I downloaded and re-installed the adapter without modification. I have scanned the laptop and nothing is reported in the mess. Are there any ideas as to why the wireless connection works only when the laptop remains close to the modem? Thank you.

  It seems I may not have been very clear in my previous post.  I wanted to suggest was to reverse the connection of the antenna.  As mentioned in the thread I linked, the connections might have been reversed from what they should be from the factory.  If this is the case, then connect the antennas in a factory setting would not solve the problem.

  Have you tried to reverse the antennas?  If they are in the deformities, then this would fix it.  If they are in the right position, then the worst you would have (only in the deformities) would drop signal strength.

• Wireless network not always connects successfully on HP ENVY 5644

  Just bought a new HP ENVY 5644 device to replace an existing of my HP Photosmart C4380. The new device for the first time and ran through the initial configuration using the built-in touch screen. Everything seemed to be going easily and smoothly, without any error and even connected to my home wireless network on the first attempt.

  I then tested the printing and scanning of the characteristics, which each provided extremely pleasant results and good performances on the wireless network.

  Unfortunately, this is where my story ends happy and boredom begins!

  After initially set up the device in a temporary location, I've properly turned off to transfer it to its final resting position. Even if it were in another room of the House, it was actually closer to the router of network wireless itself. In reality, we are talking about a very significant distance that the 2 rooms are in fact back to back each. So, now with her in her new role and connected to a power outlet, I turned on the device once more. The powers of the unit upwards and the blue light that indicates the status of the wireless connection, continually flashes blue rather than a blue fixed solid. Blinking blue indicates that the device is unable to establish a wireless network connection. If I use the touch screen to investigate the matter, I think there seems to be an authentication problem and the details of the message are bad password (WPA) wireless entered.

  Why has this happened? Nothing has changed, everything that I've done is not move the printer in another room!

  Believing that the touch screen tells me, I decided to run the Wireless Setup Wizard once more to confirm the wireless network settings. As expected, he manages to find my home wireless network without any problems and then requests the password key has been entered. I go so it correctly and press on apply. It is at this time that the device tries to connect to the network, that unfortunately crashes, return the above error message. However, I know that I entered the password correctly, in fact, there is an option to display the password that you entered before attempting the connection, which, while they inspected, confirms that the password that I entered is good!

  Then why does it not connect?

  I tried to turn on the wireless feature, turn off several times via the touch screen interface, but this has not solved the problem. The only way to get the connection Wireless online is to keep turning on the unit, switch off again until the wireless light solid blue. Without apparent reason, wireless seems to have a mind of its own, only connected to my wireless network when she wants to!

  I have no problems with many other wireless network devices I have in my house, from several manufacturers and even located in other parts of the House. I know that my wireless network is good and I know that my password wireless like the back of my own hand, so there is no chance of which is incorrect. It is purely a problem for the HP ENVY 5644 itself, device which can be confirmed by the fact that if I turn it on and turn it on again, it could decide to establish a successful connection even if I have nothing to its own network configuration, or my own configuration of wireless itself.

  Ask yourself whether or not it might be of some obscure incompatibility between my wireless router and the HP ENVY 5644, I tested the unit with another router to spare than I, who was also from another manufacturer but unfortunately the result is the same, the HP ENVY 5644 connected only when he wanted and would establish only the network connection Wireless when switching on the device. If the connection fails, it will never connect to the network unless you turn off and turn it back on, which may require even been attempted several times before success. Once connected, it seems to stay connected and then works really well.

  This behavior is not acceptable and I'm sure that's not too healthy for the device itself to be turned on and off again at these short cycles. Otherwise, overall, as I said earlier, I am very happy with the product.

  Can someone at HP tell me why this is happening or suggest what I need to seek or consider.

  Talked with HP engineer the other day. I explained to him what was going on and they suggested to do a factory reset and then set the IP address manually rather than using DHCP from my router wireless home.
  
  I wasn't too happy about it as everything has been well installation and work, except for the WiFi do not reconnect all power over. I also had a go better, adding a DHCP reservation in my router by using the MAC address of the printer. Indeed, it is the best of both worlds that the printer will be given the same IP address by the router whenever he asks for one.
  
  We agreed to leave things as they are rather than the reset of the printer and I would now turn off the printer every day. For the last 4 days, the printer has reconnected to WiFi at all power over. This is excellent news.
  
  I have a call on request with HP in the coming days to discuss how things are going. If everything continues as it is, it would seem that to specify that a wireless router DHCP reservation solves the problem. While I wait for the next call to HP, I continue to power on / off power to the printer on a daily basis.
  
  Watch this space!
