i just installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my lappy, i have a couple things that can't find the driver .. but my main problem is the wireless, it's installed and windows see it, but can't see any network, because it says it's turn off ..?
When i press the Wireless button on the notebook it doesn't come on ..
Is the standard power supply unit compatible with hp docking station? I've seen a lot of cheap used docking stations on ebay - unfortunately many of them are sold withou power supply unit.
Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 (64-Bit) (problem is also there with Windows 7)
I sometimes try to connect to a network, then the wireless led suddenly orange although Wireless is Enabled. My friend who has an XP system can connect to that network in the cafe just fine so does everybody else, but on my system, it says connecting, then the icon turns orange as if there was no wirelesss card installed.
I am using the Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN v12.2.0.11 Driver which was installed through Windows Update along with HP Wireless Assistant v3.50.2.1
Now I have an orange icon for wireless, although wireless is enabled in both device manager and through the touch key.
the icon will turn blue if I restart and wireless access will be restored, but I will lose it again if I try to connect to a wireless network.
I have got Notebook Compaq Presario.. I cant connect to the internet using the wireless connection.. the reason is that i accidentally did some operations, and cannot switch on the light on the front panel of the notebook.. it does not work, i mean the light of the wireless connection button does not light.... I turned off something...
Has anyone with the SZ series got the wireless switching utility to work on windows 7. I got everything else to work except that. I tried both the vista driver and xp.
I don't use bluetooth so i prefer to turn it off. But when it's disabled the blue bluetooth light is still lit
I've installed Windows 7 64 bit on my Vaio VGN-FZ340E.
As this notebook comes with Vista Home Premium 32 bit, I had to find the drivers for 64 bit. So far so good, since the Vista 64 bit drivers work fine. (PS: It took some time to get all the drivers). Everything is working except for two things: the S1 button and the Wireless Device Switch.
I want to disable the bluetooth, because I don't use it all the time and it takes a lot of battery when enabled. I used to disable it using this little application from Sony called Wireless Device Switch.
The problem is that this application does not have the bluetooth option anymore.
Installed Windows 8 x64 clean install. - BIOS updated before win8 install. - Win8 WIFI switch cannot be turned on.
Installed newest wifi driver for Win8 - WIFI switch doesn't turn on.
Installed Win8 Power Management. - FN+F5 toggles Win8 flight mode only. - Uninstalled driver and tested with Win7 driver - no better.
Uninstalled Win8 Power Management and installed Win7 Power Management - FN+F5 only lists a switch for Bluetooth. - No better for Win7 PW and Win8 wifi driver.
It appears that some people have had success using a particular method but unfortunately it was described quite badly and failed to work in my case.
Do I need this program to run on start-up? Does it do anything more than state whether the wireless is on/off? Would I be able to turn on the Wireless Network Card if the program is not running? If I do turn it off for start-up, I will still be able to access it in the Control Panel if need be, right?
i have been having an issue that has me perplexed, i recently did a clean install to windows 64 bit, and now i cannot seem to get the intel wirless client to work, it will only let me use the windows wireless client. I downloaded the latest drivers and utilities and software, both from the intel website and the dell site, installed both, but does not allow me to use the intel wireless client. what I am not doing correctly to activate the intel wireless client.
I've installed The one control/utility file The 4 System component files the 3 wireless files
It recognized the intel wireless from the beginning under hardware however even after installing all those files and rebooting I can't get it to recognize the switch is turned on for the wireless. In smartwi it says they are turned off. Is there a software way of turning them on?
I have a Windows 8 now 8.1 pavilion g6 laptop which hasn't been able to detect any wireless networks.
When i try to troubleshoot to find a problem it says that there is no problem.
The icon in the bottom right shows a monitor with a white cross in a red circle background and a what looks like a cable with a circular head at the top.
What I am currently using is the ethernet cable into the laptop which is connected to the router which is working normally.
I have a Notebook hp430 with Windows 7 64 bit ultimate. After having some sort of driver/virus that was freezing my computer, again i reinstalled my laptop with windows 7 64 bit ultimate .
Now it can't connect to the internet through wireless. I've tried all the basics: pressing the WIFI enable/disable toggle key on my keyboard, restarting my computer, enabling disabling the internet connection in the network area, etc.
Under Device Manager I see 4 devices related to the wireless internet:
1. Other devices >1> Network Controller 2>pci device 3> pci simple communications controller 4> Sm bus controller - all the above devices have yellow warning sign next to it - the error is for having no drivers installed.
What should I do? How can I get my wireless internet to work again?
my laptop is Pavilion g6 Notebook PCafter i installed windows 7 i noticed that wireless not working when i press on the button its idle .. nothing happensi know i must install a driver but i realy dont know what is the right driver for my laptop
So, I've just installed Windows 8.1, and all drivers needed, but I can't see any wireless networks (it says Off under Wi-Fi tab, and there's no way turning it on). Tried enabling/disabling device, reinstalling drivers, and F7 key but it only turns airplane mode on/off.
I recently bought HP 15-d009tu Notebook PC.I do not have any drivers installation CD along . How and where can I get the wireless lan driver for HP 15-d009tu Notebook PC which will support the Windows 8 32 bit ?
There is a recurring problem where the computer ceases to recognize the existence of the wireless adapter. It doesn't matter if the computer is running 8, or 8.1, nor if the computer is fully Updated. This seems to be a hardware problem or some sort of electrical short, not a driver problem. I have done a bit of research over the last four months or so (when the problem first started happening), and the problem I am experiencing is most likely caused by either a faulty card, or a card that is loose from its socket on the motherboard, and not by a driver/hardware discrepancy.The strange part is the intermittent nature of the computer's recognition of the device. Stranger still is that despite what appears to be a hardware problem, I have usually been able to fix it, either by:
Uninstalling then reinstalling the device's drivers,Restoring the computer to a previous point,Reformatting the computer using the built in Windows 8 feature, and/or Removing certain Windows Updates in reverse chronological order (until the integrated WiFi device is recognized).
Last night, the problem happened again. It was maybe the 4th or 5th time overall, and the 2nd time I was forced to "hard reformat" in an attempt to fix the problem. Until just a few minutes ago, when I partially deconstructed then reconstructed the device, the "hard reformat" method didn't fix the WiFi. After the "hard reformat" didn't work, Upon turning the computer back on, it recognized the wireless adapter, I connected to the network successfully, and here I am now, documenting what happened.
I essentially did nothing significant to the device, and now the wireless adapter is recognized. Why?
All that being said, I believe I have narrowed down the cause of the problem, at least in my case. I believe there is some sort of electrical short issue. The short is caused by one (or perhaps both) of the following:
Assuming the physical location of the wireless adapter is next to the location of the port for the AC adapter, I think the AC adapter, when moved or jiggled by a hand, somehow negatively interferes with the wireless adapter, causing it to fail.Shutting the lid of the computer, perhaps when combined with the above, and/or under other conditions (something having to do with power settings?, something having to do with the state of the network when the lid is shut?), causes the network adapter to fail.Something very similar used to happen on an old Dell notebook I had, as well as on a CR-48, towards the end of their lives. That is, in order for the internet to work, I had to have the AC adapter at certain angle when it was plugged into the computer. Otherwise the wireless connection would drop. It seems like there's a connection there (pun intended), but perhaps not?
I got windows 8 when i got the computer from the store 1 year ago, and I install windows 7 now and i cant get the wireless internet to work for me. i have tried the HWWVendor detector and it says that i got broadcom and i downloaded those drivers and its not working.
Wireless card - genuine intel 4965AGN FRU-42t0867, the card has passed BIOS check for whitelist, but - after windows 7 has started - no sign that wireless card is installed. I don't see it in Device manager, and driver i installed (Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg), 14.03.0000, 7/17/2012) also cannot work for me.
Whatever I try, I am not able to activate the WLAN card. When I diagnose the network connection it says somethink like "the device is not activated or not installed". However, the device is listed properly as "Intel WiFi Link 100 BGN" in the device manager. All windows updates are installed, and the Lenovo update manager only shows one optional update (Intel Chipset driver for Windows 7) which gives an error when trying to install it.
One strange thing is that, when I use the "ping 127.0.0.1" command in the command shell, only 1-2 out of the 4 tries give a result, the other ones show a timeout error.
What is more, the device works properly with an Linux Live disk, so the hardware seems to be ok. It is just not working with windows 7.
I have an HP dv6809 and it has a wireless G connection, the rest of my network is wireless N. Could anybody point me in the right direction for a new N adapter that will be compatible with the notebook?
I am having a problem with wireless network, the signal is very weak even the laptop is next to wireless router.
If I move my laptop 5 meter away from wireless router then my laptop could not detect any wireless network. I have updated wireless driver and update the bios.. no luck!
My Wireless card is: 414376-002 (Broadcom 802.11b/g Mini-PCI Express Card)
There is only one thin cable connected to wireless Mini-PCI Express Card.. is that normal?
I used mujjuman's stickied guide to installing windows xp on a HP dv6700 and everything went perfectly except I can't connect to any wireless connections. The driver I'm sure is the right one and I can see available networks to connect to but it never can connect.
There is always an error saying something along the lines of "The wireless connection is out of range or too low a signal" but this is when I have the computer right next to the router and the windows wireless manager shows it as having full signal.
i try to access to internet and set to ON the button on my HP portable notebook Pavlion but when i turn on the led NOT change from yellow to BLU!

i just got my tx2500z and of course, i reformatted to a fresh install of windows. however, i forgot to make a backup copy of the hp wireless assistant which allows you to turn of wireless or bluetooth independently. i tried the install that came with another hp laptop but i ended up getting bsod's so i'm asking if anyone who has the same model could provide me with this software that came from the tx2500z compatible for 64-bit.
