Wireless network switch will not report it's on.

on my laptop, to the front is a network wireless switch.  Whenever I try to turn it on, no light is signaling that it's on.  When I try to look for a network, I can't find one; nothing comes.  The computer tells me to turn on the switch when it is already on.

He also told me to use the keyboard...

If possible, can someone tell me the keys I have to press to get wireless Internet?  (my laptop is a Toshiba).

I don't see a hardware feature.
It works now, the fire has came... im sitting right next to my computer at home so maybe its able to read the best signal.

  • My Atheros AR5007EG wireless network adapter will not work

    I have an Acer Aspire One AOA150ZG5 that only comes with Windows XP directly from the factory. I recently started having trouble with XP so I switched to Windows Vista Home Premium and now my wireless card doesn't work. I tried to go to the manufacturer's Web site, but they have only taken over XP, so I installed the XP driver and used the Vista Device Manager to update and it still does not work. Please help me I spent all my money on vista so I can't afford a new wireless card.

    If Acer is not taken support Vista for your model, there is nothing that can be done about it.

    Sorry about that.

    You can consult the Web site of the manufacturer of the wireless adapter.

    If they have no drivers Vista, same thing; nothing can be done about it.

    See you soon.

    BIOS bug? I don t think so

    First of all, you must make sure that this isn't a hardware problem. In this case, insert the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall the operating system of this device. This will outline the laptop to factory settings. Notes; This would format the whole HARD drive.

    After the new installation, you must activate the WLan switch on the side of books, and you can then use the switch button FN + F8 to select the WiFi network.

    I assume that you have already configured your Wlan router. So the same settings such as the SSID, encryption of WLan, etc. must be defined on the laptop too.

  • Wireless network adapter could not be activated

    My laptop also did EXACTLY the same thing in the morning today.
    No effect with the wireless on switch on the computer. The light is always red. Last night an automatic update that happened (update for windows Vista (KB955430) 09/05/2009 09:03), which cannot be deleted. I don't know if this problem is related with the update.

    My laptop is HP Pavilion dv6439nr.  Running Windows Vista Home Premium (Service Pack 1).  Wireless adapter is "broadcom wireless 802.11 b/g WLAN PCI" that is gone now.
    Windows network diagnostics shows "this computer doesn't have a card installed and configured wireless network."
    HP Home Network Center shows "Wireless status: disabled; When I try to enable wireless LAN, it shows "wireless network adapter could not be activated.
    I tried to scan and reinstall the driver but the device does not appear.
    The wireless router works fine with other laptops.
    If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Alboury,
    It seems at this point that your wireless network adapter has a hardware problem.  Check out this troubleshooting guide step by step on the HP Pavilion support web site.  If you can't get your active wireless card, you will need to contact HP or repair HP authorized repair for hardware Center.

    Number of brand and model of the router?

    These settings are to set up your printer wireless (or wired):

    • Stay connected to your router
    • Trouble printer status 'offline '.
    • Wake mode 'sleep'
    • All wireless devices stay better connected

    While the DHCP is convenient, devices like printers (wired and wireless) should always be assigned a (fixed) IP address manually to avoid conflicts on your wireless network and must be outside the range of the router DHCP.  After the adjustment of the static IP address the computer must be updated to show a Standard TCP/IP port with the IP address of printers under printer properties/Ports.

    1. Set a static in the printer IP address (click here) outside the range of the DHCP of the router (check your manual). It is for Linksys routers, but can be used for all routers. Check your DHCP range and change this first if necessary. More Help Wireless Printing is here and here and still more here.  Video here explains the problem and how to solve the problem. <--> So watch this!
    2. Or check in the printer "Auto Off/sleep/Energy Saving Mode" is disabled the System Mode Time Out is set to zero (0) Use the built-in webserver (EWS) by visiting the printer address IP address in the address bar of your browser, click on settings tab/Auto Off. Or use the printer, printer Home Page (EWS) Wizard. Also check your printer properties.
    3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, disable the IPv6 option in the printer.
    4. Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a socket wall and not to a UPS, power strip or a lightning arrestor. This will cause the printer to drop offline connection and disconnection (checked yes!).

    Additional measures to take if you continue to have the problem (if they are posted)...

  • Wireless network adapter is not installed and configured

    I have recently re installed windows vista for my laptop dell inspiron 1545. I am not able to connect to wireless internet, it says that the wireless network adapter is not installed and configured. How do I install it and where can I get the wireless network adapter. I have a cd or anything for it. Thank you

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers, firmware and/or software.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you shouldget from Dell for the wireless adapter at all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html. > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244617.

    The adapter is inside the laptop.  You don't need to do something with it to install it.  Install the drivers, firmware or software for it and your version of Vista from Dell (all that apply) "install".  You must then go to start / Control Panel / Network and sharing Center and configure the adapter with the appropriate parameters and to establish the appropriate network connections.  This will take place in settings required by your ISP, and maybe your router or modem (so you may need to contact them if you don't know the settings).

  • Network discovery will not

    Hi Shinmila H,

    I have a problem with the network discovery, my settings is discovered from the network is running and I use office network, I used to access the database server using \\catekds (which has the IP 192.168.0.211), I am able to see the network devices, but not the database server and if I open any folder window I will be able to open a database server using the ip address , but once I have type it is not to recognize the name of \\catekds and give me check the spelling of the name

    Best regards

    Hello, BahaaJ

    It may not seem obvious--after all, this thread of 2010 is, apparently, more precisely on the problem that you are facing, and you've probably found this thread via a search for one or the other parameters of the problem (perhaps a search for "Network discovery" or something similar?)- but I think you will find that it is almost always a better idea to create your own community for any particular issue thread You can have. That's because the new questions will always come to the attention of the Forum (Microsoft employee) or community (volunteer expert) while discussion moderators, posts and assignments to old threads (such as 2010) do not necessarily automatically come to the notice of moderators - or the 'Community' Stars that often offer some of the best answers to questions from the Member of the community; many of the former use community tools to look for questions specifically so that they can provide assistance.

    I also believe that how a question is asked can affect the response that we receive; to this end, I find that

    the Wiki article created by the author of Wiki, moderator of the community and MVP ZigZag3143 (MS-MVP), "effective questions get help faster!", and article KB555375 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base "Suggestions for a question on help forums" are both useful.»»  A prolem as you report, I would say

    from your own new thread @ page of the answers community to ask a Question-Windows category (be sure to select the right operating system for your computer in the drop-down "Version of Windows", while I would suggest selecting "Web and networks" in the drop down list 'Headings Windows').

    That being said, if you have found that perform the troubleshooting steps described by

    H Shinmila in his post on March 3, 2010 on this subject did not help, you might want to take a look @ Edgardo Ton February 22, 2011 post Microsoft Support Engineer in the similar thread "Network Discovery will not or enabled.'." "  There is also Microsoft official troubleshooting articles related to his position (mainly written for Vista, but largely as well) applicable to new versions of Windows.  It is also worth noting that what Greg Blevins published on page 1 in this thread we are currently (January 15, 2014 - the post before yours) on its damaged with Windows Firewall policies is very common source of problems such as you are facing. If you do not have the option which he used to import working strategies exported from the machine to another, of work, you might want to try repair Windows Firewall of Tweaking.comtool (part of their Windows repair software (all-in-One)); all has been updated to 2.7.1 v. but apparently the firewall tool is only still v. 2.7.0 this writing.  The tool can be downloaded from this page: repair Windows Firewall 2.7.0.

    Good luck!
