Wireless radio cannot be turned on

Hi all!

I have a laptop SL500 2746-FMG with Intel wi - fi card. A few weeks ago I noticed that a wi - fi connection gets too often (every 3-5 minutes). I checked the signal strength of my access point, but it was good (-30...-40dB) and another PC on a longer distance worked well.

I tried to reinstall the drivers for the card, but after that procedure, the status of the radio is always disabled if the hardware switch is turned on, the led is green. When I try to power the device using the Fn + F5 window, nothing happens: the status is always off.

I tried to reinstall the drivers several times, even delete driver manually and then put it back: Device Manager indicates that the device is functioning correctly, LED lights up green but status is always off

What could be the reason? Appreciate for any help

I think that Reinstall Access Connections means it should first be completely uninstalled. I don't see any other different actions of the first Council.
Spent some time to recover from an August backup system drive - now everything works fine. It was quite difficult step, but nothing.
I assumed that the cause of the problem was soft (updates from Lenovo are not excluded). So I strongly recommend you to do the regular backups of your system, just in case this kind of problems.
Thanks, Maliha

  • Wireless adapter cannot be turned on

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1245dx laptop. The operating system is Windows 7 Home premium upgrade from Vista, at the time where HP has offered the upgrade using as soon as Windows 7 is out. The laptop stopped booting and I had to do a complete reinstall of Vista family premium, then the upgrade to Windows 7.

  • Wireless radio does not turn on

    I'm brand new and quite clueless when it comes to portable computers, as I've always been a PC user, but my landlord gave me her laptop in the hopes that I can find the problem with him. Unfortunately, I can't understand anything. My boyfriend has spent hours on the phone with support from Lenovo get new drivers and everything but we still can't Radio wireless power so that we can a wireless connection.

    The PC I'm using right now has a router attached to it, and the laptop is sitting at least 2 feet away on the desktop. It SHOULD be able to read a wireless signal, and I see other connected to my network from my neighborhood, so it's certainly a problem with the laptop.

    If anyone can help me understand what the problem is, it would be greatly appreciated! I don't know how this man was able to block his Wi - Fi connection so bad, but I'm about to pull my hair! Laughing out loud.

    If you hhit fn + f5 and nothing happen. You do not have / or has not properly install HOTKEY driver. If something is launched 'say a black window' that has a tab of wireless radio and it shows the State is disabled. You hit power beside him and he does not change. You have probably not the "HARDWRAE", "lit" wireless switch and the green list. Only the wireless led light above your keyboard green show. It looks like an antenna with waves coming out of it.

  • Satellite P10: Wireless Radio refuses to turn on

    I got a wireless Broadcom BCM4306 (mini-PCI) adapter and put it in my laptop. The specifications of the laptop are:

    Toshiba Satellite P10, 768 MB of RAM (256 upgrade) & 2.66 GHz P4 (HT disabled).

    The wireless adapter works on another laptop, but not on this one as the guard software complain that the radio is turned off. In the Windows wireless network configuration, it is enabled, but the software doesn't seem to see it. The wireless switch is turned on, but the wireless light is not on i assuming that it lights up when a wireless adapter is present and active. By pressing Fn + F8 does nothing more, no logo appears on the screen for this function or makes no noise.

    I have no idea what is the problem, but any help would be appreciated.

    Hi, I read in the forums that covering the 11 pin and PIN 13 of the mini-pci card can make your card can be used. However, it seems that there is no way, for now, to make the change in hardware to work.
    You can do a search in this forum, or if you can go on TechSpot.com forum and do a search for "Toshiba Wifi network" in "storage and networking", you will find the message in question. As for me, I got a Toshiba (g) MiniPCI card in my Tecra 9100. It works, but the hardware switch does not work. (The led is off, regardless of the position of the switch hardware, but the card works and there is absolutely no problem to connect. If you discover something, thanks for posting.
    Good luck!

  • Wireless antenna cannot be turned on (P10)

    I bought the wireless pci card PA3300U-2MPC card (Atheros AR5001X +) for my satellite p10 251 (Win XP Home). Using installation guides, I installed it with precaution, connected with black and white cables. Then installed the driver, after that the Atheros software. The result - the wireless connection does not work. Configfree software both Atheros bring the message "turn on the wireless switch", but the switch is in position "On". When I press Fn + F8, it's the same message.

    The device is compatible with my laptop, according to the ebay seller. I also found on the Internet a Toshiba-Schwitzerland pdf file, when it is shown, that this card is compatible with all mobile phones of P10.

    Does anyone have an idea, what the problem?

    Hi gav

    Is the map propely recognized and installed (Device Manager status)?

    Try using the ConfigFree tool. This network of application monitoring can give you information on potential connectivity problems. On the right side, you can find possible solutions.

    Good luck!

  • wireless radio turns off every 2 minutes

    I have a Thinkpad Z60t, running on Windows XP.

    I have the wireless switch physical on the side panel on the position we (that is to the right).

    At the beginning, I can't connect to any wireless network without problem. However, after about 2 minutes of not actively using the internet, the green 'radio Wireless' on the front panel turns off and I lose my internet connection. Then I do "Fn + F5" (or ThinkVantage button-> manage my connections-> Radios in Wireless Power on / off) to activate on (and get the light to go back to being green). Then I have to reconnect to the wireless network.

    I think that this is a common problem. I tried several suggestions that I found on other forums, including ThinkVantage button-> manage my connections-> select location-> Open Access Connections profiles-> Configure-> location of switch-> UNSELECT "enable automatic location change". Actually, this method seems to work for a few hours, but then stopped.

    I am sure that my wireless network is stable - my roommate's laptop does not lose the signal every 2 minutes as I do. I think my laptop wireless radio turns off automatically after 2 minutes of no use, and this feature should be turned off somehow.

    Help, please. I'm frustrated to have to reconnect manually every 2 minutes.

    -Ed

    Open Control Panel, go to the system, the property of equipment/system, then go to Device Manager.

    Under the ownership of the wireless card (right click on the wireless card and property select), there are settings for the roaming of aggressiveness, energy saving and power output.

  • Wireless radio turns on and turns off...

    Hi new here and I thank very you much for your help.

    My wireless radio turns off after five minutes on its own.  I saw on the net a fix by going to Access IBM...

    Open connections to access and go in Configure, then global settings.  Uncheck the box "Enable Wireless LAN automatic radio"

    Logins will be automatically turn off the wireless connection when idle to save power.     The only problem here is that Access IBM does not.  He gets up and you can not click on anything.  I read that it is because there was a security hole in an old version of Adobe Access IBM used, and they is plugged but never implemented up to date. You can not use this...    Anyone know how to bypass this or another solution to my problem.   I have a T-40, is said by the way.

  • Smartphones blackBerry "Radio Off" and cannot be turned on via 'manage connections '.

    Hey all, hoping someone has seen this before on the curve.  I ran downstairs to the power and the radio stops automatically, but now, no matter what I do that worked previously, (make a call/go in manage connections-"Turn on all connections") the radio does not turn on.

    Any ideas or advice before I commit to BlackBerrycide?

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    Try to remove the battery when the phone is turned on,

    Let it down for a minute, then replace, leave the device completely restarts

    1-3 minutes, see if the problem comes back.

    Thank you

  • Wireless Manager cannot connect to 3G T-Mobile provider

    Hi @ all,

    I test the Toshiba Wireless Manager 5 (5.2.1047.66) on Windows 7 RC1 64 bit and I have the problem, that the Toshiba Wireless Manager cannot connect to T-Mobile. He always timedout while trying to connect.
    I don't see why. If I use a numbering Windows connection then I'll connect to the ISP network.

    does anyone have an idea?

    Kind regards

    Alen Ahja

    Hello

    The profile used is taken from your provider's SIM card - do not try to create one yourself. He usually works with the settings.

    Try this:
    1. disable the 3 G module and exit the Wireless Manager.
    2. wait 5-10 seconds.
    3. turn on the 3 G module, and then open the Wireless Manager.

    Should work?

    I have the problem that the module disconnects after a while. After it is not possible to reconnect because the Wireless Manager does not respond or I get a problem of downtime as yours.

    See you soon

  • HP c309a wireless radio does not, help

    THX in advance for the help. I'm trying to set up printing from my IPad on my hp c309a printer wireless. Can't get it to connect. Just ran diagnosis on the printer wireless. Says ' wireless radio does not. Any help?  THX

    The Radio not work wireless message usually indicates a problem with the card wireless in the printer. I'll try to do a hard reset of the printer. A hard reset will attempt to restore the printer to a good working condition and no settings are lost with a hard reset.   If the reset does not work then you can contact support at 800-474-6836.  The link below provides warranty options.

    Out-of-warranty options.

    Contact Hp outside the United States.

    1. when the printer is turned on power, unplug the power cord at the back of the printer.
    2. unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    3 reconnect the power cord to the product and the wall outlet and then press the power button.

    Let me know how it goes.
