    Hello

    HP Envy 17-j053ea (E7A75EA) wireless issues

    Very slow performance on wireless and many drop-outs.  Don't you this problem with other laptops, etc. It doesn't matter how close to the router that I am.  It is virtually unusable.  Netwrk cable is very fast, this laptop is fine.

    I updated the bios to the latest version.

    Wireless device is Intel Centrino N2230 network card. It runs the latest driver - version 15.10.0.11

    Any help please it's driving me crazy?

    Thank you

    Malcolm

    Hello

    The latest drivers still does not work.  Finish I swapped out for an Intel Centrino Advanced - N 6235, which works perfectly and is steady as a rock.

    Too bad that I had to do it on a new computer laptop well!

    See you soon,.

  • Satellite Pro A200 wireless issue sometimes disconnects

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 with a wireless issue.
    I use home wireless. Every now and then while surfing it won't find the page. I try to connect via my VPN connection I have for the office.
    If you click Cancel, it will sometimes continue surfing very well but sometimes can not find the page.

    I disabled the wireless and connection is used hard and no problem.
    It would be desirable to re - install the drivers for the wireless?
    I think I've removed the software toshiba Wireless thing (forget his name) when I got it.
    So maybe that's the issue.

    Any help would be apreciated.

    Thank you

    Of course, it would be desirable to update the WLan driver in most cases it s WLan compatibility issue between card WiFi and router

    I recommend updating the driver WLan and also you can update the BIOS if a new version has been available for your laptop model

    Best regards & good luck

  • EA6500 - Wireless issues, possibly related to the leases Varied?

    I am passage of router Netgear WNDR, and this EA6500 V1 really gives me some very minor, recurring wireless issues.  I have to assume its ties to certain parameters, I'm just not see.

    My laptop will lose just an internet connection.  The connection to the router is still strong, but I have to follow the troubleshooting for Win7, it restarts the network card in the laptop and its good once again.  Then a random amount of time later, he'll do it again.  Seems to happen a lot more, I'm of the router, as in the night, the laptop comes on the floor, I'm leaving 5 bars 3 (speed is little unchanged) and I will have 4 or 5 of these occurrences.

    Wireless printer is really been a pain with this.  Since the 430W brother I can find and easy access to the home network.  From there its been sporadic at best.  If I connect to the router (immediately after Assembly), I can see the printer and its Online.  Research on a laptop computer in the House he won't find it.  If I just leave or make several reboots it will come back.  I add, print a test page and everything is fine.  The next day, the printer is in offline mode on the router and is not reachable.  On the printer itself, that it believes its fine.  If I remove the device, and then restart the printer and do everything again I can find it, but only for that day there.

    The laptop computer and the printer are on the notebook 2.4 Ghz network join on n 150Mbps.  I added the printer of the demilitarized zone and increased maximum rental period that the field would allow.  Always without success.

    Any ideas?  With the old router that the printer wireless joined the day we bought it, and two years later, he was still active and had never been restarted.  Even with the laptop.  Its about 3 years and I have never had to restart the internal card like that.

    For now, I went back to Netgear but I'd like to get the EA to work if I can so I can give my old router to my parents.

    Thank you!

    If you have a wired connection stable, this challenge can be because of wireless interference. Try changing the channel wireless 1, 6 or 11.

    If the wired connection is not as stable and as long as you have a stable connection directly to the modem, clone the MAC address of your computer on the page of configuration of the router if you have a cable internet connection. For Linksys WiFi Smart, go to connectivity > Internet settings > enable MAC address Clone > Clone My PC MAC > Apply. For the classic web interface, see this link.

  • WRT160N: Wireless works great, Wired is slow

    I replaced my old router from Linksys 8 port with a WRT160N wireless so that my iPhone would have Wi - Fi in the House.  (AT & T network is not great where I live.)

    My iPhone yells now, great connectivity.  But my two desktop computers that are connected directly to the router are creepy.  Pages take forever to load, and often don't load graphics.

    A friend suggested I hang the wireless on the old router and run at the same time, but I want to get the wireless works fine on its own.

    Any suggestions on what I can change to get the router speeds up the performance of the computer cable?

    Here is the solution.  I did the downgrade of firmware and everything is working fine.

  • Pavilion DV7T - 1200 CTO happened w / Wireless issues - work in progress - solved

    I took delivery on a DV7T yesterday.  It is configured with the minimap Intel 5100 AGN & Vista 32 Home premium (my first Vista machine).  I had updated my wireless router home in anticipation of his arrival, installation of a model of D - Link DIR-655 (Vista friendly 802.11n capable).  The router plays well with my existing XP laptop and has been configured for WPA2 AES & compatibility b/g/n.

    I configured the appropriate connection parameters and launched a manual connection.  I made changes to the router so the SSID was visible and defined the DV7T for automatic connection, but it took often more a minute before the DV7T would see even the network wireless and even a minute or two before reporting the signal strength. Each time, connection attempts failed, reports of a lack of response from the router.  After the double check (and returning) settings and password several times (and the audit by doing the same thing on another laptop which connected very well) I finally decided there was a problem and called for help.  Given that the order had been placed through Costco, I went through their Concierge as a first level service. Their script for was power off all computers (XP) on the network saying that a common problem was having a Vista machine join a network with XP already connected machines. No joy. Same lack of goodness after removing/reinstalling the drivers. It was as much as the script went to attempts at original resolution.

    At this point, no resolution & I plan just to return the machine for a refund (lack of wireless really it would damage the intended use). Propelled upwards all the equipment I had turned off.  Bored of not knowing for sure if it was an inherent incompatibility or a hardware problem (the day of delivery!)  I ended up out and pick up an express format card card N Wireless of Linksys.   Responsible drivers, plugged in the card and voila! immediately, the machine connects using the configuration of the connection that I had entered previously.  On top of that, the flow of data showed that 240-270 mbits.

    With this info, I went back to service, initially to the connection of Costco and then discussed in HP support. After a 3 hour marathon call, HP sends a replacement 5100AGN card to 'see if this fixes things', if it is not, the machine must go back to the service (as a problem of antennas would not be repairable client). Part of the duration of a call has been associated with finding the right part for a machine CTO.  The wireless card on my machine something SN (Broadcom) was set apart from the 5100 (although the list mentioned packing a minimap Intel next gen and the Manager device reports an Intel 5100AGN).  They have finally found a suitable part number (I hope).

    I just thought I would pass this along in case where someone else found themselves in a similar situation.  I'll post much after that the replacement property is displayed. As a side note, the Linksys N Ultra Rangeplus expresscard works really well as a replacement. Of course I'd rather not have something projecting from the side, but it certainly did the job.

    EDITION - ADDENDUM

    After the above post, I couldn't help but think that a problem of antennas sounded very probably - maybe a lead broken/disconnected (something I mentioned to the technology of the telephone service).  In any case, just a minute before, I went ahead and pulled the bottom panel, so I could take a look at the wireless card.  Technology said there would be two tracks running to the card - only was connected, the other has fallen in a crack between the card and the frame.  The wire not connected has been labeled "main" and there is a connector on the "main" labelled map  The two sons had been celo-glued to the card (in the broad sense), but I had the disconnected an oriented properly & pressed into the connector on the card.  He buttoned & turned on the machine.  He immediately finds the wireless network and connection has been made in a few seconds.

    My only ongoing question may turn out to be wireless performance.  Connection with the linksys card speeds were always above 200 (230-270).  Speeds, I see on the bed in so far have been initially lower than 100, with the best after being 150 mbits.  Any suggestions for how this can be improved?  Will the adapter 'learn' alone and get better over time?

    FINAL ADDENDUM-

    Model found on another forum that the 5100AGN has apparently a maximum 150 Mbps on a 300 Mbps max for RX & TX... the 5300AGN is 300 in both directions.

    This suggests that the 150 that I see is as good as it gets for my integrated card. Apparently, the Linksys expresscard I used is good for TX/RX 300.

    I don't know that the costco guys worked just for the trouble shooting script, he gave.  On the plus side, he had an understanding of the issues, & spoke vernacular American English (and not in a call center offshore).  He was ready to continue, but I needed a time out.  The second call (after me obtain Linksys for comparison) was good enough and the technology was very ready he climbs to a technician of HP (once again, the continent - not off shore), which was certainly ready to order a replacement part, but crossed a few last checks more that the internal card could not be implemented. The part was sentenced & will be shipped without requiring a deposit of me. The only negative for telephone exchanges, it's neither opening proposed leads the lower panel to check the antennas have been connected correctly.

    As stated in the original post - edited-, the final fix was to open the Panel & visually notice that a 'primary' marked lead was not connected to the wireless card.  Attaching which lead to the consequence named connector on the Board eliminated the problem.   The disparity of the connection speeds between the internal 5100AGN and the Linksys 802.11n expresscard was due to the limitations of card design (150TX/300RX 5100AGN and 300 TX/RX for the Linksys), so the 150 Mbps I see currently for internally is as good it will become.  I'll probably send the rear replacement not opened as opposed to actually Exchange cards. (I don't think that the shipment may be shortstopped at this point...).

  • Cannot connect by Satellite A305 Linksys WRT160N wireless

    I have a Satellite A305-S6839 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium that I tried to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless - N WRT160N router but I am unable to get the service.
    I can configure the router and it transmits properly, but for some reason that I can't connect to it. I tried to reboot several times that the manufacturer suggested unplugging the cables, but that did not work. I suspect that there are drivers I need to download for this operation.

    Someone give some advice?

    First, visit the Toshiba support site we and install the latest BIOS and Wifi Driver.

    Second, try to change the Wifi settings-Wifi card-> properties > Device Manager. Increase power output, select "802. 11 g-only", turn off energy-saving.

  • Satellite P200-1ED - wireless issue

    Hey guys,.

    I hope that I write in the right forum!

    I had my * Satellite P200-1ED * for a while now and he used to work on the internet very well.

    However these last weeks I tried to sort, because it is quite frustrating not being able to go on the internet on my laptop!

    ---
    My network is encrypted WEP and SSID is set to broadcast, however I can't connect to it.

    I've updated the drivers of the * Atheros ARG5007EG * at the latest and I still cannot get lucky.

    It seems that the other networks appear sometimes to connect with the exception of my own. * HOWEVER * I have two other laptops (both on Windows XP) which connect perfectly to the network anywhere in the House and in the garden, so it's not a network range deliver - I even tried sitting right next to the router with this laptop!

    Please could someone give me some advice, I tried my best to solve myself, but I'm out of ideas.

    Responds very well appreciated.

    Hello

    I think it's a question of wireless settings. I suggest you remove the card from the Device Manager and all the fittings 'network connections '.

    Then, install the card and create a new wireless connection and RECHECK your settings / wireless password, SSID, IP, etc...
    The last resort would be to recover the machine in order to exclude all software related issues.

    What kind of router do you have? Have you already tried to reset all the settings of the router and on your machine and disabling WEP encryption to make sure that the machine connects in its basic configuration to the router?

  • With Satellite Pro L300 wireless issues

    Hello

    I recently install a new wireless network and a new laptop.

    The wireless access Point is a Netgear WG102.

    Wireless laptop card is a Realtek RTL8187B.

    OS: Windows XP SP3.

    Everything connected correctly the first time and was allowed for the first days but it has stopped working. When the laptop was switched on it would not automatically connect to the access point.

    When I opened the Windows wireless configuration utility it told me that there are no wireless networks in range. It was not true that there is a non-Toshiba laptop in the same room connected to the access point at full power and never had any problems.

    As a matter of course, I updated the firmware on the router and updated the drivers on the laptop at the latest.

    Realtek drivers came from their site:

    [http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6& Conn = 5 & DownTypeID = 3 & GetDown = false & downloads = true #R TL8187B]

    I've even updated the Bios later and the problem still occurs and intermittently - still sometimes, when it starts it will connect, others he used.

    When he used - Windows cannot disable or remove from Device Manager and crashes when you perform a reboot - it of like the unit is not an answer and causing Windows problems.

    I couldn't find anything specific to the event opens a session on the issue.

    I think to do a guarantee ask for it.

    Any suggestions would be welcome

    Thank you

    Dave.

    Hello

    I would like to start with your last sentence. Warranty claim it is very interesting. Can you please tell me something first: you have Windows XP edition SP3 family of Toshiba recovery image or you have installed Windows XP SP2 home edition on your own? If you install on your own how you can make a claim under warranty. I'm sure that there is a problem with SP3. I always use SP2 and my laptop works well. Security features in Sp3 are not known to me, but I recommend you to check all the WLAN settings. Perhaps there is a new option that must be activated.

    I assume that your laptop comes with Vista OS. Am I right about that? Have you noticed the same problem with Vista preinstalled running?

  • HP Envy dv6 with Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 wireless issues

    Hello! I have a few questions on a computer I bought recently, HP ENVY Notebook PC, number of product B5Y66AV dv6 wireless. The internet speed is much slower that it should be and also randomly disconnects / reconnects, a problem that I didn't with my previous laptop. It is not a problem with my router; all my other wireless devices, including other computers, work very well. I tried to install the new driver updates, updated the BIOS, tweaking Power Options, all to nothing does not.

    The first three days I've had this laptop here are no problem at all. The internet worked very well, and everything was fine. The issue only began to appear so.

    My network card is AR9485 of Qualcomm Atheros 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter. I'm running on Windows 8.

  • T540p - wireless issues

    I don't have the machine to my site, so the info I have is part of me Teamview'in the machine and the response I got from the user on the phone.

    One of our T540p machines are having wireless connection problems. He connected after a fresh reboot (most of the time) but if its connected to a wireless network and the sleep/hibrinate that it will not reconnect.

    The strange thing is that issues disappears if the machine is connected to a wired connection, e.g. in docking station.

    I installed all the latest drivers. If I don't get the advice here, I think that call patient support for a replacement wifi-card.

    It turns out that there is an aerial cable loose causing the problem on this machine.

  • Aspire V3 keyboard and wireless issues

    Hello

    I have an Aspire V3 - 771 G-9809, that is a little more than two years.

    Some keys on the keyboard at the top left do not work, such as the A, Q, 1 and Esc.  I called Aspire support before the expiry of the period for free help and they gave instructions to resolve this problem, something to do with the accumulation of static electricity upward, the included patch remove the battery and enter the BIOS to boot, but I do not now remember what the steps were.  Does anyone else have this same issue or know the steps to fix?

    In addition, for a while now the wireless is not connected and is low and slow when connected.  I don't think that the problem is with my router or my network as all other computers and devices in the end work from home.  I have to constantly disconnect, then reconnect the network connection to get the internet to work.  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    The solution for static buildup is to remove the battery and cord power, press and hold power for 30 seconds, plug the power cord and start. There is nothing in the Bios that will fix the keyboard. Your keyboard could be dirt in these keys or it becomes defective and must be replaced.

    On the wireless, if you have the Atheros AR5BWB222, many laptops have problems with this card. You can try to reinstall the latest version of the driver for it, but you must uninstall all older drivers.

    As much as it's been around for two years, is it possible, he got hit pretty hard one of the antennas is out.

    If yours has a t shaped door on the bottom, you can remove it to get to the Wifi card.

    Many people are replacing the card.

  • I can run router WRT160N wireless switch wireless E900

  • Connect WRT160N wireless to the BEFSR41 wired

    Hello-

    I use the router BEFSR41 which is connected to my comcast modem and all PC, printer, computers cell phones work perfectly when you use additional ports.

    I want to know if its possible to add a wireless router, WRT160N, across to the top, so I can move and then another room with the laptop.

    I play internet games on my desk and do not want to move to the wireless, but use the laptop to other purposes of internet and sometimes need to use it in another room.

    I have read the posts here and it seems possible, I want to just make sure I get the correct connections. I have also read the messages that State no, do not.

    Are there easy instructions?

    Thanks for any help,

    I think that from the beginning that my problem was trying to connect wireless to my desktop PC... and after an hour or so trying to reconfigure the son discovered is not wireless because at the end of the year I had to buy a new network card and wasn't capable wireless.

    I thought that since my office was the main link everything had to go through to the 'House' to work wireless connection.

    So the first time that I have not found a link on the desktop, we wire the PLACE directly to the computer laptop and charge the WRT software on the laptop. The problem, he had us were always wired to the router BE and this is the page of the Linksys who returned to the top. We try to change the LAN IP address and turned off DHCP, but of course when I am connected to the internet on the desktop, it was not to find the router.

    Of course during all this time, I was looking at this site and then went on the Comcast site, it just clicked and after several configurations more lead changes and trying to think about what I wanted to accomplish exactly, and how it "should" work... just went ahead as it was already set up and connected wireless to the BE and he was there.

    I also remember that when you reset the modem and the router... it takes 'time '. As at least 5 min, what seemed like 15 minutes at the same time, I tried all of this. My frustration level has not helped knowing that it "can" be done if I just follow the signs.

    So overall, my error when trying to set up my office as the main connection for the wireless and don't listen to not when my granddaughter told me that she 'had' upcoming wireless on the laptop.

    Thanks for your help and great advice. We have the wireless connected and followed your instructions on securing the router with the network name, encryption WPA2 and AES... and hope never to lose the piece of paper its written on.

  • Will be wireless G range expander router work with WRT160N wireless

    I have a WRT160N wirelesss router set up in my house.  I recently moved the router into the garage for a cable internet and VoIP phone installation.  Now my wireless printer in my basement that allows to print properly is to get an unacceptable signal. Probably due to a density of wall in concrete or something that does not ask before.  I want to install an Expander store but I have WPA2 security enabled on all my wireless devices.  The amplifier Wireless G does not mention if it can use the WPA2 security.  Only WEP.

    I have to downgrade my router security to WEP to use the Extender to put away or will it be compatible with my current security?  Information about the product and FAQ does not cover this subject.

    Thanks for any help.

    You can use WRE54G with router WRt160N... However, WRE54G Range Expander don't support WEP and WPA WPA2.
