Wireless connection works intermittently

My connection with my BT home hub wireless keeps defaults to "local access only".   When I contacted BT, they do not have to fix it by using remote access to my computer (I have an ethernet connection that disturbs that works).  They say it must be the fault of VISTA and that it is a common problem with VISTA users.  I have an old Windows XP Home Edition which I use is no longer on the desktop, with which it was supplied.  Should I uninstall my Windows Vista and install the old edition of XP?  Or is there another solution?

Hello

I have a lot of computers running Vista and they have no problem connecting with wire (I'm not a lucky guy, there are millions more just lucky that I am).

That said, this does not mean that you are not specific to a problem involves the configuration of your computer. But this isn't a general problem as «Vista cannot do well with wireless»

Check the IP address of the wireless card and you will probably find that it is 169.xx.xxx.xx, or another no functional IP.

Your wireless card is probably not really connected to the BT wireless unit and therefore without Internet.  Thus, the people of BT can nothing remotely and shift the burden elsewhere.

I'm not familiar with BT devices. In my neck "in the Woods" all roads wireless also have the ability to connect with a wire.

Then I begin to establish a connection with a wire (it is much simpler than wireless. When everything works as it should you have a frame of reference that help to take care of the radio.

  • Two years trying to get Toshiba laptop wireless connection works

    I tried for two years to try and get the connection Wireless on my Toshiba laptop to work without much success. For a short period I managed to connect the laptop to a desktop computer's ad-hoc wireless and share the internet connection in this way but then it stopped working.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 - 15L model no PSU45E-00J005EN. It is with the 12.1 "screen and running Windows XP Pro sp3.

    My wireless switch on the front of the laptop is turned on. It is also activated in the software Fn F5 wireless enabled, disabled bluetooth. I don't have Intel ProSet.

    Already when I was able to establish an ad hoc connection using microsofts software. I had to manually activate the Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) whenever even if, as he always began with disabilities or order even if I set it to start automatically. It is a monumental PITA.

    When I try and connect to the ADSL wireless router (Belkin N150) using the Toshiba Software, I get the message error "application from another provider is controlling the wireless adapter.

    I get all the time, even though I turned off Microsoft Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC).

    I thought that Windows controlled always somehow it even though I disabled WZC, so after reading solutions in other posts, that I tried to go...

    -> Control Panel-> network connections-> wireless-> properties-wireless networks tab > uncheck "use Windows to configure...". ».

    But unfortunately there is not 'the wireless networks tab' in there, all I have is the other two tabs. And since trying to use Toshibas software to connect wireless using their Radar thing, now when I click the wireless network connection in there the message "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to configure this wireless connection, use that software. »

    Can someone on the forum or using Toshiba please?

    Thank you

    Two years? Sorry, but I can't believe it.

    If everything is Ok and I mean if there is no hardware problem you n t need more than two minutes for the WLAN configuration.

    As a first step, you must be sure that the wireless network card is installed correctly (Device Manager).
    Wireless network card must also be enabled correctly (switch > check FN + F8 > check ConfigFree tool).
    When the wireless network card that it is correctly enabled scan (check the status of ConfigFree) the area with RADAR option in ConfigFree.
    You will find this option?
    You can scan the area?
    Some WLAN is visible for your laptop?

  • How to get HP PSC 2355 wireless connection work.

    Wireless HP PSC 2355 does not connect.  It worked initially when it is installed a few months ago.  Have not used the printer for a few months. Now the wireless connection is not displayed.

    How can I get the wireless to start working again? I use another network, then I used initially.

    First, reset the printer:

    You can restore the original settings to what they were when you bought your HP all-in-one device. Note to restore the default settings affect all changes made to analyze the settings and the country/region and language settings. You can perform this process from the control panel only.

    1. press Setup.

    2. press 3, then press again 3.

    This displays the Tools menu and then select Restore Factory Defaults. The default settings are restored.

    Then download the latest version of the software for your printer from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.  Run the software and choose 'Wireless' or 'network' when asked what type of installation you want.  Make sure that the USB cable is NOT connected when you start the software.

  • Satellite Pro 300 L. Wireless only works intermittently

    I have updated all drivers wireless on the laptop. It is running Vista and all updates have been applied.

    Wireless continues to stop intermittently. He doent loses the connection with the access point but ping fails, where another computer attached to the same access point works very well. I ran pc live version of linux on the laptop operating system and it remains connected without problem. There SEEMS to be something windows / vista related but I'm not sure of that. I did not check the bios to see if there's a updtae, do not know if this can help, but we saw it.

    Sometimes its worse than others and a fact of unpacking of 'possible' thing is worse when there is a higher load of traffic through the adapter as a download. The same tested in installing linux and he continued to work without problems.

    Advice appreciated ideas.

    I have a HP ENVY laptop new - 13D-d000 CTO (ENERGY STAR).

    Product name N8R87AV

    Windows Pro 10

    64 bit

    Network adapter: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265

    When I click on the wireless icon - it shows me the connection within the home. I connect and it says it is the network configuration required, but then it crashes. I try again later and it does not find the connection at all.  Other devices in the House are connected, so I know that the real wireless works.

    I called HP Tech Support, they tell me it's a matter of Internet provider, I call AT & T and they say it's a problem of HP. I call HP Technical Support and they always say it is a problem of ATT and I have to tell them to configure the settings. I call ATT and they cannot diagnose and insist that it is a problem of HP.  I'm not at a loss.

  • Wireless connection works only when the printer is turned off

    my desktop computer requires an adapter wireless for internet connection.  installation of this card was problematic and I discovered I mean it was because of my printer - a kodak esp 6150 desktop, which can work wireless.    I can only connect wirelessly when the printer is off on this computer.  However, two other laptops that do not need a separate wireless adapter are able to connect wireless when the printer is on.  any suggestions?   Thank you.

  • Wireless mouse works intermittently

    My mouse, intermittently, works, or it, glitches and does not at all.  I have a NEW mouse to see if this corrects the problem.  No, he didn't.

    My NEW mouse: Blackweb Bluetooth wireless mouse, model number: BWB15HOo213, S/N: PRDMU36.

    My OLD mouse: Logitech M310, P / N: 810-004004, S/N: 1501LZ6ELA8

    My old mouse glitched, as described, and so I decided to get the NEW mouse.  SAME QUESTION for the new.

    What is the problem?

    Wireless mice are more trouble that it be put in place with.  First recommendation is of use a cable.

    Wireless mice are common problems, because they depend on a radio signal between it and a receiving device.  If a device has a low battery, you will have a problem.  The radio signal between devices is very low and depends on being close enough and especially no radio no signal interference.  The signal interference can come from many sources, but the computer itself can be the worst offender.  Try to move the receiver close enough (a few inches) with the mouse and see if that helps.

    In your case, it looks like interference.

  • Wireless connection is intermittent

    My wife has an HP Mini110-1103 with XP SP3. It worked fine for a couple of years, but now, it loses wireless 5 or 6 times per hour. If I click the wireless network icon in the toolbar State to restore the connection reconnects it without my doing anything, or after a break which may last for seconds or minutes, he comes back to life on its own.

    Hello analyst.1,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that you can print from your MacBook Pro to your HP using Ethernet and wireless printer, but not via Bluetooth. I know how it is important to ensure that you can connect to your printer via Bluetooth. I'll be more than happy to help you with this.

    Use OS X El Capitan: Add or remove a printerand make sure you have the latest version of the software installed and printer connection instructions, specifically, this section:

    Add a Bluetooth printer

    1. Update your software: choose the Apple menu > App Store, click updates, and then install the listed software updates. Even if no updates appear, this ensures that OS X has the latest information on printing software you can download from Apple. If you don't do this, you see a message that software is not available when you connect your printer.

      If you have a printer AirPrint, you have no need to check the software updates.

    2. Prepare your printer: use the instructions that came with your printer to unpack the printer, install the ink or toner and add paper. Turn on the printer and make sure it is not the display of errors.

    3. Connect your printer: follow the instructions that came with your printer to make sure it is ready to connect through Bluetooth. You must also make sure to activate Bluetooth and set up the printer Bluetooth as a new device.

    After connecting your printer, if you see a message prompting you to download new software, be sure to download and install it. OS X will automatically use AirPrint if your printer supports.

    Have a great day!

  • 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.

  • A100-201 wireless connection loss

    Hello

    I bought my laptop in December and have been using broadband wireless since but yesterday he lost the wireless connection. My provider has said that it is because I need my card rank up. Is that correct, and how can I do this?

    I'm not very good with the technical side of things.

    Hello

    It's very strange because the wireless connection worked all the time and all of a sudden it doesn t.
    Have you changed something?

    Hmm in my opinion, you should first check if the wireless network adapter is enabled and try to configure your WLan router and WLan connections again.
    All WLan check the encryption, keys, etc.

    Your service provider recommends updating the map?
    I think the guy meant the WLan driver!

    You check you WLan card and if it s a card WLan Intel visit just the Intel site and download the latest version of the WLan driver.

  • 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.
