Brand new HP Stream 7 won't connect to the internet

Took out my brand new HP Stream 7 tablet and set it up - and it won't connect to the internet.
Nothing obvious, but it reports that Wifi hardware can not be found.
I'm sure it's a driver problem - but since I can't get to the network from the machine - not exactly sure how to proceed (or whether its worth the grief - since I can just package up the box and return it).
If I go to the Control Panel - Devices and Printers - it shows a Device with my computer name on it, with a warning graphic indicating a problem, and when I click troubleshoot it tells me there is a problem with the Realtek Bluetooth UART Bus driver and offers to reinstall it again, but when I try I just get an error message telling me there's a driver problem and that the issue isn't fixed.
Have to wonder if anyone actually tests this stuff or whether they just ship it out without worrying about whether or not it works.

Hello shaw44:
Have you tried disabling and reenabling the adapter?  Have you run the HP Support Assist which will perform some tests and it also may reset the adapter for you?
Another option is to uninstall the driver from the control panel on the desktop using Device Manager.   Windows should uninstall the driver from there.   Then, you can click "scan for hardware changes" and it should reinstall the driver. 
As a last resort, If you were to get a mini USB to USB adapter or a male to female adapter (to use with the charger cord), you could download the file on anther device, transfer it to a USB flash drive and then copy it onto your Stream 7 tablet.
Hope this helps.

  • Brand new Macbook Pro won't connect to  wireless internet

    Hi all, I'm relatively new to the whole mac thing, but I have a problem. I got a macbook pro for college last week, and have been struggling to connect to the internet ever since. I notice other's are having issues too.
    So here's what's going on:
    When I set my pro to using DHCP, I get no IP address, or sometimes get the self assigned address 169.etc. Yet when I put in a static address, subnet mask and router info I've found for my network, It says connected but when i click on safari no internet. I've run diagnostic in safari and all the lights go green (under manual ip etc) except internet and server (which are yellow). What's going on here? It can't be the airport card, because my pro connects seamlessly to my college's wifi, my ethernet cable and rogers internet stick. So is it my modem/router combo (using a siemens SE567), or is it because I'm running 10.6.4?
    Please help, I have to use the internet for uploading videos and other heavy internet usages that my internet stick can't do (unless I want a $100 bill each month), and being tethered to my ethernet is kind of a bother.
    *I should also note I have a pc laptop that runs fine off the network (siemens se567), though setting it up also gave me issues.*
    Thanks

    I'd suggest you repost over in MacBook Pro forum, and in Using OS X Networking.
    There are Apple technotes on troubleshooting networking and setup.

  • Brand new 15" MBP can't connect to the internet

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro this weekend. When I turned it on this morning, the date had been set to December 31, 2000, and it couldn't connect to the internet.
    I manually changed the date and tried to use network diagnostics. No luck. I then deleted the list of networks the laptop recognizes and reset my DLink router. Still no luck.
    I'm not sure what to do and this isn't the first time I've had issues with a Macbook and its wireless. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Spencer

    If I open network connect on this computer it says
    IP address: 99.233.208.230
    subnet mask: 255.255.254.0
    Router: 99.233.208.1
    entering 99.233.208.5 in my g4 powerbook has no effect - it still doesn't connect, but I do still get the green light from network status, as before.
    If I manually enter all the fields exactly as they appear in network status on the computer that does connect, including DNS server and Search Domains the behaviour is a bit different - instead of giving me an error immediately it acts as though it will load but hangs for a few minutes and then times out.
    I guess I'm thinking that something must have gone wrong with my installation so that some important part of mac os x networking isn't working properly. does this seem possible? And how would I find out to be sure?

  • My brand new Xperia Z2 won't connect to the PC via USB cable.

    My PC is running XP 64bit OS, my old Xperia U connects fine through the same USB cable and my Xperia Z2  recognizes flash drives connected to it via the supplied adaptor cable... Any ideas guys? does the phone perhaps not like my old version of windows?

    Hi Jake, thanks for the response.I gave your suggestions a go and found that restarting the PC with the phone already connected via USB caused the phone to briefly flash up "connected to computer" in the notifications bar.This occured immediately on start-up of the PC, during motherboard Bios, and dissapeared as soon as windows began to boot up. Upon windows starting, no mention of the phone is found anywhere under "my computer", device manager or in the task bar... More on the issue...the very first time i connected the phone to the PC, the computer was already running. The phone immediately asked me if i wanted to install PC Companion 2.1. Following the installation, the connection just went and hasn't come back since. I have noticed that PC Companion will not start on my PC. I've tried re-installing it several times from Sony website but when i try to run it I just get an hourglass for 5-10 seconds, then nothing. checking back through the system requirements for Pc Companion I've noticed that it asks for every OS except mine (XP 64bit)... could this be the problem with the software not running and perhaps the phone not being recognised?

  • My brand new iMac won't connect to the internet - the Air is fine?

    Hi All,
    Loved my Air so much I bought an Imac today to do some serious work - but it won't connect to the internet.  It won't load any external webpages, the wireless symbol in the menu bar is at full strength and in settings it says its connected to the modem.  Its also finally recognising local time.  It can also 'see' my Macbook Air in the 'Migration Assistant' but doesn't connect.  The Air can't find the Imac in the 'migration assistant' and just spins.  I've rebooted the modem, turned both on and off, checked  Safari settings eg extensions (none loaded - its new today).
    Essentially I've not been able to view a webpage with the new Imac at all - very frustrating and disappointing. (The Air was a breeze to set up).
    I'm not very technical so does anyone have any suggestions?  Or do I just return it?  TIA.

  • My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

    My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

    Thanks for your response
    Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link  EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
    Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
    A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
    Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
    Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
    Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
    Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
    However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
    I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
    I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
    Thanks again

  • I just downloaded the new software to my iPad but now it won't connect to the Internet. How can I fix this?

    I just downloaded the new software to my iPad but now it won't connect to the Internet. How can I fix this?

    Have you tried to reboot your router? Unplug it, count to 30, plug it back in and let it reboot. Also you may want to go into your settings on your iPad and 'reset network settings'.
    In case the update messed something up, letting the devices reboot sometimes helps.

  • My airport extreme shows a green light, but won't connect to the internet.

    I have an airport extreme, and it stopped working one day, so I reseted it and it's not connecting to the internet now.  It's showing a green light, however, it won't connect to the internet. I live in an apartment complex, so I don't have a cable modem. The router is directly connected to the wall via ethernet. I had the ports checked by connecting the ethernet cord directly to the computer, and the internet is working fine. I tried resetting the router, but it still doesn't connect.

    Your problem is typical Yosemite network.. just reboot the Time Capsule.. no luck reboot the network.. do a restart in correct order.. modem.. wait 2min.. TC .. wait 2min.. clients.
    No luck then do a full reset of the TC and setup in a way that Yosemite can cope with.
    Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 for basestation and TCwifi wireless name.
    If the issue is wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. ie plan on a first and second round of changes to fix this.. hopefully.. I will point out other steps that can be round2.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply with 1. but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. If the TC is main router you can skip this point. This is only an issue when the TC is bridged.
    Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
    5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
    In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
    Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
    You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
    However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
    6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only. Do the same for ethernet if you use it.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    You might need to do some more work on the computer itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
    Tell us how you go.
    Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.
    Macbook can't find Time Capsule anymore
    Start from the bottom and work up.. I have a list of good network practice changes but I have avoided Yosemites bug heaven.
    Yosemite has serious DNS bug in the networking application.. here is the lets say more arcane method of fixing it by doing a network transplant from mavericks.
    http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/01/why-dns-in-os-x-10-10-is-broken-and-what-yo u-can-do-to-fix-it/
    Same thing applies to the Airport Extreme or the Express if used as router.. just replace TC in the instructions with AE.

  • My iPhone 5 won't connect to the Internet.

    I have a factory unlocked iPhone 5, and I had my regular-sized SIM cut to fit the iPhone 5, since the nano SIM is not available yet in my country (Venezuela). The SIM works, I get messages, calls, etc. But it won't connect to the internet unless I'm on wi-fi. I've tried in different places, with full 3G signal, but it doesn't work. The weird thing about this is that I get Whatsapp messages (and I can send them as well), I get notifications from Instagram and Twitter, but it won't let me, say, enter my Twitter profile, or load Instagram pictures. It won't load any kind of internet content, neither with Safari nor Chrome.
    The phone (or rather iOS 6) doesn't seem to have any option to edit the APN, so I researched a bit and found the iPhone Configuration Utility. I used it a couple of months before with an iPhone 3G to set an APN and it worked. Only this time, it wouldn't let me create and install a new profile on the iPhone 5. It would let me install the old profile I had for the Iphone 3G, which had the same APN settings I was trying to use now (both from the same carrier) but it didn't fix the internet issue. I also tried the Unlockit method, but it didn't work either.
    What bothers me is that I've seen in a few websites screencaps of the Mobile Data screen, and it shows an option to configurate the APN settings in the phone itself, but mine's missing it.
    I'd really appreciate if you could help me out, or at least give me a hint of what could be causing this. I've tried almost everything, and I've read a lot of posts here, but I haven't found anything useful. Thanks in advance.

    In addition to what ChrisJ4203 said about cellular data, check your carriers website, it may need you to enter APN settings to allow internet access over cellular.
    Also does normal telephone calling & SMS work? Disable wifi to avoid using iMessage as a test. If the SIM is damaged or blocked etc it may not work with cellular data, does the phone give you any error messages when powering on?
    Another thing to try is to back up to iTunes & check for updates to iOS - sometimes a carrier update can restore the cellular network settings.

  • My ipod's apps won't connect to the internet.

    the apps on my ipod touch 5 won't connect to the internet anymore, even apps from apple like the appstore. only safari works, but with some sites it says there is no safe connection(like with twitter). but it does work with google
    how can i get rid of this problem?
    my ipod runs 7.0.2 and i checked for software updates, there were none. i also checked for app updates but as i said the app store doesn't connect with the internet either.

    Does it have this problem wehn connect to another network?
    Did the iOS device connect OK before to this network?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    look at the setting for the fouter, mayne those sites are being blocked.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IMac sees the ethernet but won't connect to the internet

    we had a power outage that crashed the imac.   now it won't connect to the internet.  the imac can see the ethernet connection.   we have several other apple and dell devices that all see the internet so it's not cabling or hardware.    it's a cable modem connection that uses automatic DHCP configuration.  I've created a new Location setting with no change.   I'm assuming that there is a corrupted file since all the other systems connect fine.  any idea which one it may be or what else I should be looking for?
