Can't get wireless connection to Gateway laptop

My wife has a school-district issued Gateway laptop- state of the art. We can't get connected to the internet at home using our new airport express. The imac gets on fine, and the gateway gets on if we simply plug the modem into the computer, but nothing wirelessly. It's works for her at her job, it works in coffee shops. Her tech person told her it's equiped to work at home with adding any software, but we get nothing. Something we're supposed to tweak?

Can not get a connection on my laptop

I am having a problem getting a connection on my laptop. I have a WRT54G Linksys wireless router. My desktop is working fine but my laptop (which was working fine last night) is not conecting this morning. I have been sitting on hold now for 56 minutes with support!!! Anyone have any suggestions (besides hanging up the phone on these support people )
Thanks

What is the error you got on that laptop? Are you using any Wireless Network utility that is shipped with the wireless adapter or the windows WZC? If you are using WZC i.e. Wireless Network Connection, then go the properties of it and under wireless tab delete the preferred networks and create a new preferred network with the correct wireless settings on it. Check the wireless settings on the router if needed.

Hi There,

I used boot camp to create partition then installed brand new home users windows 7 I backed it up to an external hard drive before installing. Her iMac connects to her sky router without problems? Which is why I can't understand why, when we switch to windows in doesn't find any networks? Hope this helps

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?
Question for 4/18 experts ...
Or specifically, how can I replace my wireless card on a DV7-6B32US and upgrade to Intel Centrino 6230?
I have a relatively new DV7-6B32US puchased on 11/2011. Still under warranty. purchased 2 of the laptops. (also own 3 hp desktops and 1 HP All in One)
Existing card is wireless N but does not support 5GHZ or dual band. It is Broadcom 4313 wifi card and I am just realizing that the Broadcom card does not do the dual band 5GHZ wireless N. I have Linksys e4200 router which supports 5GHZ and dual band speeds up to 300 Mbps.
I called tech support and with their help identified Intel Centrino 6230 as the correct upgrade, and with their help ordered 631956-001. In the Maintenance Manual for DV7 laptop, this part number was listed for Intel Centrino 6230. Turns out HP sends an Intel Wireless N 1030 card, which is no better than my existing card. I called HP and they acknowledged that some manuals use part number 631956-001 for Centrino 6230 and some use 631956-001 for INtel 1030. So HP support said they would give refund but case manager was of no help in solving the upgrade problem. Said it was unavailable but here is your money back.
So after more searching, I see others have used part number 636672-001 to order Intel Centrino 6230, specifically for HP ProBook 4530s, 4230s, 4730s. And if I use part number 636672-001 and go thru parts store at HP, I can purchase it.
But will it work??
First, will the Intel Centrino 6230 with part number 636672-001 from HP parts, work in my HP DV7-6B32US, even though the part number is NOT listed in the Maintenance and Service Guide for my specific laptop. I see postings about whitelists and changing bios, etc, and am hoping someone can provide some guidance. I have been thru 2 tech support calls and one case manager and have gotten 3 different feedback from HP, from yes it will work and ordering the part, to buy it on amazon, to it will not work and here is your money back.
Second, I see some postings about Centrino 6230 and multiple antenna's. When I replaced the Broadcom 4313 with the Intel 1030 card, I simply unattached 2 wires and reattached the wires. And it worked. I am wondering if the reason HP doesn't list the 6230 card for DV7 is that DV7 does not have the antennas required to support 6230. Does the Centrino 6230 require 3 antennas?
Thanks for any suggestions. The existing cards do work but I paid extra for the Linksys e4200 Router and just assumed a winter 2011 $700 laptop from HP would use the latest wireless n technology, otherwise I would just keep existing cards.

I have went thru the exact same problems trying to upgrade the wireless card in my DV7. It is very frustrating that the wireless card can't be upgrade to one that supports 5Ghz. Here is my post from the network forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home/Unsupported-Wireless-LAN-6230/td-p/1419595 Doesn't sound like it is possible to upgrade to the Centrino 6230 without it being added the the "white list". Sound like HP doesn't update the list after shipping the notebook. I feel your pain. HP needs to help out the consumer in upgrading the wireless cards. I see we are not the only ones that have had this problem.

Can't get wireless to work at home

I've just set up my wireless at my shop, using the wireless G w/speedbooster router, and notebook card, this is in a laptop. Now at home I have just a wireless G router. I tried to plug in the notebook card to the laptop and can't get any connection at home. I tried to set up the router and when I did this, I lost all connection to the internet. I then called SBC out ISP, and they helped me to get the internet back, but I still couldn't get the wireless to work. I didn't really want to mess around with it any more, because my wife needs the internet for her work at home, so i'm not really sure what to do. Do you guys think I should just call technical support when I get home and have them walk me through it all?

I can't get the connect to work after base installion.

Hello, everyone, I am new to Arch Linux.
I follow the installation guide install Arch Linux, Everything run pretty smooth, except at the part when I need to choose the package, I am not so sure what I am doing. So I choose everything except for the thing that I am sure I would never need.
When the installation is complete, I try to go to the next setup which update my system, but some how, I can't get the connection working, switch mean, I couldn't do anything beyond that. (both wireless and wired network, BTW I am using DSL and I do try the adsl thing)
Every thing seem make sense to me during the installation, but I just can't get the network connection working.
BTW: my laptop is a Toshiba portege M100.
Any idea?
Thanks

Try typing in:
dhcpcd eth0 (or whatever interface you are using)
and hit enter, I had the same type of problem and this woke up my network connection.
Edit: Also, once you gain your connection up and running, you might want to install ifplugd. It is a daemon which will automatically configure your Ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if the cable is pulled, which is good for laptops. Once installed make sure you put it in /etc/rc.conf under the DAEMONS section.
Here is some info in the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Configuring_network

WRT350N: Vista cannot get wireless connection

I recently got a laptop to use on a wireless connection to my WRT350N. When I first set it up, it easily got a wireless connection to the WRT350N. After a few weeks of reliable wireless operation, the wireless connection would occasionally disconnect without warning or any apparent reason. I was usually able to reconnect fairly quickly until a couple of days ago. From that point on, reconnection was not assured. I switched the wireless mode on the WRT350N from mixed to one of the other options and got my last successful connection. Soon after that, the wireless connection dropped again and I've never been able to reconnect since, no matter what settings I specify. Windows Vista sees other wireless networks available (from neighbors' homes), but does not see my WRT350N even when sitting right next to it.
I've tried the EasyLink Advisor and it just says: "EasyLink Advisor could not establish a wireless connection to the Router." That's not very helpful. How can I restore a wireless connection from my laptop to the WRT350N?

Thanks, Helm, for your reply. Before seeing your reply, I called Linksys tech support and we got it working again. Basically, they had me clear the list of wireless connections under "manage wireless networks" in Vista. They had me change the security settings from PSK2 Personal and enter a new key. With that, I was able to get a wireless connection again. I told the tech that I preferred to stick with PSK2. So I switched back while he was still on the phone and got a successful wireless connection with PSK2. He suggested that my loss of connection in the first place was caused by the key being changed under PSK2 / AES and it was related to the key renewal period. It wasn't clear how to avoid encountering the trouble again. But at least I know how to recover from it should it happen again.

How can I get videos (Hulu) on my laptop to appear on my TV?

How can I get videos (Hulu) on my laptop to appear on my TV? I already have the correct cable cord, but all I can see on my TV is the start-up screen.

Your videos are saved in Photos. There is no storage capability in the Apple TV. You can only view them by streaming the videos via Air Play. Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
I don't know which iPad you have so this may not apply but if you want transfer your videos to your iPad follow the steps in this article: iMovie for iOS (iPad): Transfer video and photos between devices

Can i get wireless access with a 10.4.11

Can I get wireless access on the internet with a Dual core intel processor 10.4.11

If it has an Airport card fitted, yes.
It's very likely it already has, but to be certain, go to the Apple menu > "about this Mac" > More info
Under Network in the left pane you'll see Airport' select that and it'll tell you what card is fitted (if any).
You should also have in the menu bar on the right a pie-slice type symbol; click that and you'll get the option to switch on airport if it's present.
You'll need to set it up in Network Preferences to connect to your wi-fi router.

WRT300N V1.1 - Firmw v1.51.2 - Problems to get wireless connection after long idle time

Hello,
I have a WRT300N, v1.1 with latest firmware available (v1.51.2).
I've been experiencing a strange problem:
1. After long idle time (router is on, no devices are using it wirelessly), no device can get a wireless connection;
2. I have tried using different OSes (Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, and Symbian OS);
3. Wireline connection to a FE port works (if I plug a device using the cable, I can get an IP address and navigate to the internet).
4. If power reset it (WRT300N), I can get wireless connections working again.
Is this a known issue?
Thanks, Gustavo

Well as you are able to go online from your Hardwired Computer, then i think you need to make some changes on the Wireless Part of your Router. Follow this settings on your Router, i think this might solve the problem.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 50 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Hi,
There is no such PowerShell command can achiev this. Maybe you can use a script to get the user name with folder redirection enabled. However, I am not familiar with writing script, and it would be better for you to ask in script forum below for professional

Imac i5 late 2009 running OS X 10.8.4 and can't get FireWire connection to work

I have Imac i5 late 2009 running OS X 10.8.4 and can't get FireWire connection to work with LaCie external drive. I have gone through older posts and tried with no luck power cable and holding down start button for 15 seconds and restoring power and also removing power cable waitng 10 minutes replugging power cable holding down alt command P, R keys until second beep is heard. I know that LaCie drive and cable are working, they were connnected to another iMac without issues. What options do I have left to get FireWire to work? The System Report just says
FireWire Bus:
Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec.
Thanks for any help
CS

I did not mention in original post that when initially connected to the Firewire port the LaCie drive I can hear activity so the drive is getting power. Does this mean the Firewire port may not be physically damamged and there may be options for resetting? Are there any 3rd party software repair programs worth buying for diagnostics and repair of the FireWire port?
