Has anyone else gotten this same alert? "WLAN Card Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close." Every so often I get this message, my computer is fine and my wireless is also fine, I just get that message. I have the 1395 mini-card, if that makes a difference.
Also, I have noticed that my wireless signal gets dropped sometimes for no reason. It might be the routers fault but I'm not sure.
Laptop: Sony Vaio TZ31VN
Integrated Globetrotter HSDPA Wireless WAN, Bluetooth and Intel 4965AGN Wireless LAN, Windows XP SP3 (Official Sony XP Downgrade Build)
This one really has me stumped - I'd appreciate any suggestions!
In summary, I have a problem with my Sony VAIO TZ31 wherein I'm unable to use my WiFi. The Wireless Device Switcher utility (C:Program FilesSonyWireless Switch Setting UtilitySwitcher.exe version 4.0) no longer 'sees' my integrated WLAN card to give me the option of turning it on or off, however it does see both the Bluetooth and WWAN cards. The hardware switch on the front of the laptop is in the 'ON' position, and the Bluetooth and WWAN lights are illuminated, however the WLAN light isn't, and I can find no way of enabling it. The Bluetooth and WWAN are still working.
My problem determination so far:
The normal Windows Wireless Network Connection dialogue tells me immediately (i.e. doesn't seem to scan at all) that it can't find any networks and that I should check that my wireless is turned on. I have another several devices in the house that are seeing the network just fine, as does my iPhone right next to this laptop.
Running an `IPCONFIG ALL` from the command line suggests that it is physically still there:
Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-1D-E0-C3-xx-xx
Checking in Windows Device Manager the `Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN' entry appears with no question marks or exclamation marks telling me there's a problem or that the device is disabled. Opening up the properties dialogue for this, the drop down box on the Advanced tab says 'Wireless On'. All other properties are on the default values....
I just bought a refurbished Elitebook 2530p that didn't come with a wireless card, so I bought a "Broadcom 4322AGN 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN adapter (Sangria) - For use in Most of World (MOW)". This WLAN card was listed on HP's parts page for the 2530p here.
However, when I installed it and connected the antennas, the computer doesn't recognize it at all when booting up. It doesn't even acknowledge the presence of a new device.
I have a HPG62 Notebook PC with the original lan card. Â I have 50mbs wireless service, but my laptop will only go to 18mbs. Â My other laptop picks up the whole 50mbs. Â Do I need to upgrade my wlan card?

I want to replace the internal Intel 3945 to a GigaByte GN-WI01GT with Atheros chipset.
Is there something I have to switch or activate or is it a simple replace of the hardware?
Or do I have to mod the bios? If yes, how does it work?

im having a problem with my 1525 inspiron laptop, which i have had for a couple of years. The problem started when installed windows 7. My wireless minicard stops working anytime i try playing an online game. The mouse starts freezing and then the wireless card would stop working. The only way can it working again is to reboot the laptop or put it to sleep the start it up again.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI got myself a L430 last February and like working with this laptop.
Within this laptop there is an Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200 (2x2), PCIe Half Mini Card [1] plugged-in.
Like described in the linked article the card is only usable for the 2.4 GHz band but I realized this only after bying the laptop. At home we normally have a 5 GHz band and I'm only able to use it at the moment using an external wlan stick.
That could not be that hard we thought, because for Lenovo laptops there are manuals out there describing how to swap such a WLan card. We decided to take the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 because this card should work with my L430.
We ordered the new card and plugged it in. But after every restart the laptop beeps twice and gives an error message: Unauthorized Wireless USB card is plugged in - Power off and remove the Wireless USB card. (error 1805)
On the site I mentioned last is described we should update to "Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg) for Windows 7 version 15.3.1.2 or higher", but now the links doesn't get you anywhere.Some weeks ago, when we tried this, we updated the driver more than once but without success for the new wlan card and at the moment I'm stuck to use the 2.4 GHz band (or use the external wlan stick).
Why doesn't allow my L430 swapping the wlan card? The new one is from the same manufacturer, both have the same number of antennaes.
The laptop was no discount product and nowhere in the papers I read that only some cards are usable!

I have a HPÂ Pavilion dv6t-6000 CTO Quad Edition laptop and currently the WLAN network card does not support dual band connection via WiFi. I wish to upgrade the WLAN card so that it can connect to the Dual band WiFi at my house.Â

Any whitelist of WLAN card that I can use to upgrade my laptop? Is there a list of supported WLAN adapters?Â

I would like to create a dual-boot Vista and Ubuntu on Dell Studio XPS 13. When I tried to partition the hard disk, I found that there are Dell Utility and Recovery partitions.
What are these partitions? Is it safe to delete them? If I delete them, can I restore them back again? How can I backup, if possible, these partitions to CD or DVD before deleting them
I had a problem with overheating with my 1730 so emailed dell and they told me to hold Fn while booting and run a diagnostic test,
and after the memory test I "should" have had an option to "TEST SYSTEM" but instead I got a message saying "No diagnostic utility partion identified/found"
This seems to be the hardest app to find! Does anyone know where I can download ACU for Vista 64bit?
I have the Gigabyte gn-w101gt and apparently, I need to enable Super G using ACU.
Going the clean install route and looking at the partitions, found this small Dell one. It's only about 40MB and uses only 400KB.
Looking with Gparted it's called Dell Utility and with Vista Disk Management, nothing but does say EISA configuration under status.
I am using an Inspiron 15R SE 7520 which I upgraded to Windows 8 after partitioning my hard drive (two accessible drives c: and d:). The restore partition was left intact.
Due to a software incompatibility I am going to have to restore back to Windows 7, and I hope to use the Dell restore utility.
My question is: If I use the utility will my D drive data (backed up files etc) also be wiped, or will just the C drive be reformatted?
I just received a refurbished Inspiron 17R SE with the HD and SSD pre-installed.  I want to use the Intel Smart Response feature to speed up the hard disk with my SSD.  When I open the Intel Rapid Storage utility I see no accelerator button.  How do I enable this feature?
I have the BIOS SATA type set to Smart Response. Â It arrived with that setting. Â I don't know of any other setting that could affect this.
Will the Dell Latitude D830 have any trouble supporting an Intel WiFi Link 5300 WLAN card?
I know its a generation newer than my laptop but the interface is the same so it should work without any issues, right?
Im basically looking for a wireless g stable, low power, wlan card that will work with this laptop and think the wifi link 5300 may fit the bill.
If I want to upgrade my M4400's WLAN from Dell's 1397 card to an Intel 5300 card, do I need to install an additional (3rd) antenna or isit already installed?

No taskbar, start menu, nothing, nada, zip. I found this thread that tells me what the issue is but I can't get to device manager to either uninstall the driver or update it .....
after months of overheating, i've decided finally to open my e1705 to clean it up.
following the offcial guide, i've came to the WLAN cables, and I don't know how to remove them. I'm afraid of doing it wrong.
I've tried to pull them up gently, but didn't work.
here's a pic :
I've been having issues with this with this utility either not connecting upon resuming my laptop or even from a fresh start. I visit many offices at I am the IT manger and all the connections are saved in profiles but despite them being saved they won't connect even when I try to connect manually. The only way to get the adapter to connect is to right click Proset running in the tray and click "reset proset". Even now while typing this I am connected via wifi but the proset icon shows "connecting"
I've tried updating the wifi adapter drivers from Dell and Intel directly and also completely removed the drivers and re-installed them but I am still having the same issue.
When I run this utility it doesn't work. It acts like it's doing something but then it doesn't. What is the solution so I can use this tool?
I have an Inspiron 15R 5521.
Is this a Sony product or part of Windows Vista?
If it is a Sony product, is anyone getting a better connection with the Windows utility?
I know that my notebook came with the Sony® Notebook Setup utility program but I lost this recovery disks that came with this notebook so I did have to buy Windows XP Home and did a clean installation of it. I did get the drivers from esupport.sony.com but I can't find the Sony Notebook Setup utility program.
Does anyone know how I can download this and install this on my notebook? It's a program that tells the specs of my PC.
My notebook model is: PCG-R505ESP

Because flashing a BIOS is a pretty serious thing to do with a purchase that costs $500+, I was surprised to see a picture of a CRT monitor wearing a wizard hat using a pencil to erase something. Also the use of non standard fonts is disturbing.
more importantly, are all ACER bios releases unsigned?
