Wireless NIC fail: no network detected

I have two identical HP Pavilion G7, portable product #B5Z56UA #ABA, execution of Windows 8. Two nights ago, one of them stopped detecting my local WiFi network. I have 5 other devices that continue to detect & use the network wireless without problem, including the same model. The WiFi light is white (not in airplane mode). Cable connection works fine, but I need WiFi to work on it. Here's what I've tried so far:

1. performance of the built-in Troubleshooting Wizard.

2. update the Atheros, disabled/enabled the device driver.

3. several reboots.

4 downloaded the latest MS patches & updates the BIOS.

5 spent an hour on live chat with an HP technician last night... He was no help at all and only told me to do the things that I've done and then he left on me.

6. even tried a system restore to a point 3 weeks before.

7. restarted the router & checked its configuration to ensure it was not blocking access.

8. open the back cover of the laptop in order to ensure that the Atheros NIC is properly connected.

So I don't think it's a problem with the software or drivers. As I said, it simply does not detect local, even if my laptop WiFi networks identical can pick up signals from LAN 3 in my neighborhood. Please help, or I'll have to go back to the store.

HP sent a new wireless card. Atheros... I got it less than 24 hours after they said they would send it! I am of course very pleased with the quick action. I installed the spare part and the WiFi works again. The problem was a bad wireless NIC

  • Need a driver for my wireless nic card

    I have a wireless nic card and cannot find a driver for windows 8. I don't know what brand or any info about this card because windows XP always loading a driver. How will I know what it is if I can find a driver for the card?

    Hey Rodney,

    Here's a suggestion to identify your wireless NETWORK card:

    1. [Win] + X
    2. Device Manager
    3. Right click on your NETWORK adapter
    4. Select Properties
    5. Go to the Details tab
    6. Select the hardware ID in the drop-down list of the property
    7. Right-click on the 2nd line of the value box
    8. Select copy
    9. Open your favorite Web browser
    10. In the search box, paste the value copied to the #8
    11. ...

    Once you have identified the manufacturer of your NETWORK card & model see the manufacturer's Web site to try to find the appropriate driver. Alternatively, you can also search on http://catalog.update.microsoft.com.

    If Windows 8 cannot find a driver for your NETWORK card automatically, I guess it's because it's an old. So I expect that you will not find a driver for Windows 8. If you find a Windows Vista or Windows 7 driver, they should work. Also, during the research for a driver to pay attention to the version (x 32 / x 64) as it should match your version of Windows 8.

    Hope this helps at & answers your question. If you have a problem with this answer please you with:

    • Version of Windows 8 (x 32 / x 64)
    • Manufacturer of PC & model
    • NIC (#8 above value) hardware ID

    and I'll see what I can do when I have a moment.

  • Equium A100-338: wireless NIC endangered - suddenly disconnects

    I have a Toshiba Equium A100-338 running Windows Vista. I bought this in February and everything worked well. But for a few weeks now my wireless guard card disappear from my laptop.

    It works fine for awhile (today, for example) and I can browse the internet, all as usual. But all of a sudden it just disconnects, then tells me that there are no available wireless networks.

    When I checked the Device Manager I see that once this happened that my network wireless adapter simply disappeared - it does not appear in Device Manager at all--almost as if he has uninstalled randomly. Sometimes, restarted the laptop I can reuse my wireless, and sometimes I can't.

    I tried to reinstall the drivers and update them, but it didn't seem to do anything. My network card is an Intel PRO 3945abg.

    Please help me! I've looked everywhere for a solution or others who have had the same problem, but am unable to find anything.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I also noticed several threads and messages to have reported connectivity problems with wireless Intel PRO 3945abg network card. Unfortunately, I think that it s is not easy to say what the problem is or why it happens to me there could be a problem between the drivers (software) Intel and Microsoft Vista.
    I put t think the material causes of connection interruptions.

    I studied a little more on the Intel page and found this site:
    http://support.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/sb/CS-023579.htm

    You can check it and probably you will find a new driver version or a patch
    Do you use a connection Intel Pro Set WLan utility? No, then I recommend this test tool and use it for the WLan configuration.

    PS: Take a look at this page from Toshiba:

  • Wireless printing fails, cable printing

    I have two printers Laserjet Pro M1217nfw.  Both are configured with a wireless connection to the network. Any computer that has a wired connection to the network can be printed on them.  Any laptop with a wireless connection to the network, cannot.  The laptop wirelessly can see and access other resources on the network.  And if I plug in an ethernet cable from the network to the laptop, it can be printed.  Ideas?  Thank you...

    Found the problem.  The wireless access points system has an option called "Public Secure Packet Forwarding" and it has been activated.  This prevents client WLAN communicate with each other.  People with disabilities and it works very well.

  • Color Laserjet CP1525nw: CP1525nw - wireless set up: 3 networks

    Due to a failure, our cable provider had to replace our modem. We use a router Linksys AC1600 jointly with the modem provided by BrightHouse; We have a hard office connected to the modem and 2 laptops connected wirelessly to the router.

    When the modem has been replaced, the installer created network (1). The Linksys AC1600 has two networks (2) and (5). Our computers are connected to the network (5).

    I tried to connect the printer to the network (5) using the router WPS button and the printer... bad idea. When I used the WPS button, I lost a wireless connectivity to the network (5) and now only a connection to the wireless network (1).

    Found printer Network (2). I discovered that if I changed my computer to the network (2) I can print, however, it's the slower network option.

    How can I tell the printer to connect wirelessly to the network (5)? BrightHouse is not able to help with this issue.

    Thank you.

    Each SSID must have a separate network name.  The 2.4 GHz as TEST and the 5.0 Ghz as TEST50.  It is never the same.  It's how tell you which SSID you are connected to.   If your ISP is a gateway device, you must put it in full bridge mode and turn off the router and just use your Linksys router.

    Only printers support eh networks 2 .4GHz.

  • Stall network detection

    Currently, I'm trying to understand how to implement a network dropout detector in my application.  I use HTTP and so often keep a socket opened for a long time and do a lot of things on it.  Therefore, a random network dropping out really hurts to ease of use and I need to address without delay as the BONE to cause a timeout.  I was wondering if anyone could share any advice or code on how best implemented it.  I know that Peter has mentioned something himself, of course anything either would be useful.

    I thought a lot lately about the different ways that I could approach this problem:

    The simplest way possible, in theory, would be a kind of timer.  I would like to start it at the beginning of any sequence of operations of e/s, and "kick after (possibly before) each successful socket read or write."  The problem is that there is no effective obvious way to do it with the BlackBerry API.  (at least not without coarse abuse TimerTask.)

    Another option would be to have a TimerTask that runs whenever the is open, controls a set of variables on regular intervals.  I would update these variables around every success in reading/writing, and it could make its conclusions on this basis.  Of course, this raises a lot of questions on what the TimerTask interval should be, when start/stop, etc..

    Any thoughts/ideas?

    For a general watchdog, I use RealtimeClockListener.  But he gets only a kick every minute which is probably too long for the detection of dropping out of your network.  But you can use it to make sure that your stall network Detection still works.

    Personally, I have a dislike of timers because they seem to be just the threads with time management, handling I can do myself.

    And that's what I would do in this case.  I understand that you don't need that level of detail, but I'll put it in other players who are maybe not as clever as you are.

    I would like to have a watchdog thread, in a shared storage (probably RuntimeStore), all the time.  It has two States, while waiting for a timeout and idle.  In both States, she waits on the synchronized object StallDetection (I just made that name, it's just an object).  He uses wait/notify on this object to tell the Thread to do some work.

    This thread has two special methods, startTimeout() and cancelTimeout().

    Use Thread will startTimeout on this thread, through Assembly and time-out interval.  This startTimeout method will set the timeout and save the connection object, and then notify the StallDetection object.  This will give the wire in life, ii will find that it has a connection, but the timeout did not, then he will change his timeout so that he wakes up in the time limit.

    Now, there are only two possible situations:

    (a) the network Thread called cancelTimeout to cancel the timeout, because it has a good answer.  cancelTimeout clears the connection just waiting for the Thread.  When the thread wakes up, he'll find the elapsed wait time, but there is no connection to cancel, so it will be simply define another timeout, in the distant future and wait again.

    (b) the network Thread is suspended and does not cancel the timeout.  Then the Thread will wake up and see there is a link to cancel and cancel.

    It is essentially an implementation of a timer, without start-up costs and stop all the time.  I think it's better in your situation where you have a network of Red wire all the time.  But perhaps not an ad hoc http connection.

    Rather than use the two methods on the Thread, it should probably put up a model of the observer and so could be useful for a number of other situations.

    I would use the RealtimeClockListener to just check this thread is alive (isAlive()), then start it again if not.

    I would be interested in other options if people have other ideas and of course improvements on this!

    And I hope this helps.

  • What does this error message "download failed. Network failure. »

    For weeks, I receive the error message "download failed. Network failure. "for a particular item in a folio. I looked for answers to what it means, and I have not found information that helped identify the reason why this error continues to display.

    Article is most of the features-heavy in this folio, but only with buttons that change state of the multi-state objects and I have now re-created from scratch 6 times - this last time, that I've updated what he producer Folio every time I place an image, whenever I have apply a button or a multi-state object It was quite tedious.

    Today, it has been updated every hour until I apply a hyperlink to text and download failed. Whenever I met this error message, was after something different, there is no common action or point where the update fails.

    It became very frustrating because I have trouble shooted as much as I can, and my client is also frustrated that this keeps not carry out the project.

    Is it possible for one of your support team please take a look at the article and let me know if something escapes me?

    I'm pretty desperate at this point, it would be really grateful for the help.

    Thanks in advance.

    This means that the network didn't :-) No seriously, it happens all the time, just keep clicking on 'Retry' which will continue the download without having to start

  • Satellite M300-D4316 - wireless network detected but cannot connect

    Previously, I could use LAN wireless on my laptop but last week because I signed up to a bluetooth connection, Wi - Fi connection no longer works.
    It can even detect a wireless network around me; I don't see every time when I try to connect, & it asks me to diagnose the problem & said something like "the signal is too weak.

    I'm sure that is not the problem of wireless service - all my friends can connect to him!

    What should I do?

    Maybe the wireless LAN tipped off?
