Y460P: Can recognize is no longer wireless connections

I was staying at some * bleep * ty lodge and my laptop can detect the wireless network and connect to it, but it was extremely unstable, and I couldn't even check my email. The owner insisted the problem was on my end, and I thought it was pushing all the blame on me.

Now im staying in another place with decent internet and wifi works for my roommate... I can even connect using a direct cable connection (which is how im typing this now) but my laptop just will not locate wireless networks. My phone can connect to the network without wire of the apartment very well however, and the network is not broadcasting openly. My phone actually sees a ton of wireless networks in the region, including the wifi at my university network... but my laptop does not see anything.

Things I've done:

Deactivation/activation of the wireless adapter

-By turning the wireless adapter power through the switch on the laptop case

-Windows troubleshooting utility (useless as usual)

-Adding the network manually, but the laptop is not visible it

-Check device, no errors, no conflicts management, etc.

-Nothing in Event Viewer

Any ideas on what could be the cause?

Why would iwant to reinstall windows (which would probably screw up once again the scores) just to correct a problem with the wireless at the front of the laptop does not?

BTW the switch now works once I used FN + F5 to activate it manually.

  • Can someone else make my wireless connection network "secure"?

    Since the purchase of my laptop, I used a wireless internet network, the connection has always said he was an 'unsecured wireless network'. Last week he was playing so I went in the list of available networks and noticed she had changed to a "secure wireless network', I had never done that because I didn't know how to do it!

    It is possible that someone else has done? I called my service provider that I couldn't connect to internet at all and they were speaking to me in how to connect the ethernet cable to the computer and the modem. I don't know how to get my wireless connection, sorted, someone else had this problem or knows what to do?

    Thank you.

    First of all I must say that it s irresponsible to use the unsecured WiFi network!
    If the wireless network is not secure, everyone can get connected to the internet via your private internet access.

    Generally, each WLan router configuration mask is secure and you need a password to change the settings of the Wlan router.
    I put t know why you do not guarantee you Wlan because each Wlan router comes with the manual and configuration steps are described in all just way.

    If you n t know how to secure the Wlan router, ask a professional technician or first check the manual of the router.

  • How can I set up a wireless connection to a lbtop without cd player

    How can I configure a WiFi connection of my Photosmart C4380 to my Lenovo U350, Vista 32 bit without cd player?

    1. turn radio on wireless to the printer.
    2. on your notebook, open the list of wireless networks that you can connect to. You will see a network named "hpsetup". You will need to connect to this network. Ignore the security warnings and proceed with the connection.
    3. wait 1 minute after that. Then, print the printer network settings page. It must have an IP starting with 169.254. This means that the printer is connected.
    4. click on the Support link & drivers at the top of this page and download the drivers for the Photosmart C4385 and install it.

    (1) check that the WiFi switch is on on the front panel of your laptop. It is a quick check
    (2) Recycle the router wireless on and outside. Wait at least one minute, then turn it back on. Retest with your wireless network.
    (3) are getting you the error messages in the case where connects to deal with your wireless connection?
    To join the event logs: click on the Start button, right-click computer, click on manage.
    If you receive a notification of user account control , simply click on continue.
    Double-click Event Viewer. Study summary of the the event logs for errors dealing with wireless.
    (4) use System Restore to get your iIf wireless upward and running, you have a System Restore Point that was before starting the problem with your wireless network.
    Use the following KB to get the procedure on the system restore.

  • HP printer C4180, Wireless Connection?

    The HP printer C4180 can be configured for a wireless connection?

    Short answer: No. This printer is USB only.

    Long answer: there are some routers that you can plug any USB printer (and many other USB devices) to make them available to any machine on the network. It wouldn't exactly be wireless because it should be connected to the router, but you would not have to plug it into your computer. There are wireless print servers which are essentially the same concept, except you are plugging in the USB printer on the print server that communicates wireless to your router.

  • Wireless connection P20 for PDA

    Just bought a P20 & am tearing my hair out trying to connect my Axim PDA. Is not not a geek, I turned on the WiFi on the PDA and the PDA but not 'See' each other.

    WiFi says Control Panel works fine

    Does anyone know a good step by step guide that Toshiba/Windows Help is not help.

    Thank you
    Warren

    Hi Warren

    You already did link between P20 and PDAS using the cable? Before trying to make any kind of connection you have to the synchronization between the two units using cable. If this works correctly after that you can try to make a wireless connection.

  • Satellite L505-13F - impossible to activate the wireless connection

    Hello, I have connectivity problems with my Satellite L505-13F.

    I can't turn on the wireless connection. I press Fn + F8 and nothing happens. The indicator at the bottom of the laptom turns on.

    I though this would be a problem with the drivers. I downloaded realtek wlan driver here [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads], but it has not installed correctly. Then I used the toshiba software installer, but yet again, nothing has changed. I have Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.

    Device management, I have seen that I installed a wifi driver. (Realtek RTL8191SE Wirelless Lan...) So, what the problem is?

    Any suggestions?

    Hey,.

    Something happens if you press other keys FN or FN + F8 doesn't work only? Normally with this key combination you can enable/disable wireless network card.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know what happens if you are looking for WLAN networks. You see your WLAN router?

    If all the keys FN n t work, reinstall the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards. Otherwise, it could be another problem and you should reinstall the driver again and make sure the firewall isn't blocking the connection.

    See you soon
