Cannot connect to wireless internet - WLAN card not installed - Satellite Pro M10

Hi, i have just been given a second hand toshiba satellite pro M10 and i have just rebuilt it and put windows xp home edition on it. What i would like to be able to do is to connect to my families wireless network so that i can get rid of all the cables on the floor. My laptop seems to think that there is no wireless card installed though. Now i had the same problem with the cable lan, but i went onto tosibas website and downloaded a patch and updated the driver in device manager. I am not able to do this with the wireless as there are no drivers to download for it and there is apparently no device for it in device manager. Could somebody please help me and tell me what to do and how i can download a patch or fix the problem. Thanks, Andrew Reid

Cannot connect to wireless network - Wlan is sometimes not available

Hi,
The usual problem I have is that I can see the wireless adaptor but when I go to connect it informs me that the adaptor is not available and to refresh the list.
I also - when I can get connected - loose the connection after a period of time.
Any help please
Thanks
Boris
PS I have un-installed config free

Hi
As far as I know ConfigFree has no any influence on WLAN functionality because this utility is created for monitoring and not for configuring. When you want to use WLAN connection be sure that WLAN card is properly enabled. If the connection is loosed from time to time try to update WLAN driver.

It says I am connect to wireless internet, but can not open any pages or email.

I've tried restarting, I've checked my wireless on/off switch on side of laptop. I've checked to be sure I'm not working "off line". I've tried re-entering my "key". Nothing seems to work!
Joni [email protected]

Ok, thanks!
... and how are you connected to the Internet? Wireless DSL/Cable modem/router? If so, what is the make/model of this modem/router?
Let's also double-check your MacBook's AirPort settings ...
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
o Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
o Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
o Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
o By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
o Configure IPv6: Off
Proxies tab
o Configure Proxies: Manually
o Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
o Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
o Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
o Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)
Do these settings match yours?

IMac 27": Windows 7 cannot connect to wireless internet

I just installed Windows 7 on my iMac (new model 2011) on another partition, so I now have both OS X and Windows 7, and I cannot connect to my Wireless Network in Windows 7, but I can in OS X.
I've tried basically everything and looked in millions of threads to find a sollution - but I can't. I'm using my laptop now (Windows XP) and it's connecting fine.
I've tried:
- Resetting the router
- Changing the security type from WPA2/TKIP to none
- Updating the driver (In Windows it says it's and Atheros AR938x Wireless Lan Card)
- Update all Windows
What can I do?
Gear:
Router: Netgear CG 2000
iMac 27 (New model 2011 or what it's called. It a year old)
I've read several times that Windows 7 has problems with connection, but the threads are like 2 years old, so someone must have come up with a sollution?
Christian

I've done that.
I've installed Windows 7 with Bootcamp and everything is installed correctly if I look in "Device Manager". There are no problems - except that I cannot join the wireless network.
If I plug a cable in it works fine.

Mac Mini cannot connect to wireless internet

I recently got wireless internet. Before, the Mini worked fine connected by cable. It has never been connected to a wireless before. The wireless router works correctly, my $250 PC connected to it instantly. There is a yellow light on Airport and it automatically populates an IP address, whatever that means. I haven't installed any new software since it worked with a cable, no funky setup or third party anything- it's just a mac mini plugged into a TV I watch Netflix on and that's all. My ISP said it's a problem with the computer, the Mac free support could not fix it. I really don't want to pay for an extended warranty or phone support on something basic that this computer should just automatically do. I haven't tried typing in a manual IP address- I don't know what that address would be. If all else fails, I will just run a cable to it again.

Followup- I just met a computer technician who fixes problems like these for a living. He was in my home and took a thorough look at my setup. He said, due to this computer's design, it will never be able to read the signal that my netgear wireless is putting out- they are not compatible. So this would require a different modem at the very least. He said a Mac laptop would probably work fine, but not the Mini- wireless connectivity is an afterthought of the design in these according to him, whereas it is integral in PC design. But Apple Support does not want to admit this so they say it is a problem with the network.

Cannot connect to Wireless Internet.

Hi guys,
About a year go I turned off 'AirPort' on my Apple Mac Pro machiner and now am trying to re-connect but unsuccessfully.
The 'AirPort' sign is nowhere to be seen. I went to Netwrok Setup Assistant to select the method to connect to Internet but the - 'I use AirPort to connect to the Internet wirelessly' as well as the option of, ' I use a telephone modem to dial my ISP.' are dead and have no connectivity. When I move the cursor on them they're completely unresponsive.
I am trying to simply get my apple mac pro connected to a wireless Internet via AirPort.
This is a Mac OS x Version 10.6.8
Thank you in advance for your time and advice,
Stephen

Hi Grant,
Thank for your time and advice.
I did so but nothing is happening.
I am attaching a screen shot after I unlock, entered name and password.
Cheers,
Stephen

Still did not work.
What should I do?

Can i replace the WLan card on my Satellite Pro P750

I purchased my P750 to run wirelessly on our 5GHz (802.11a/n) frequency network.
Though I was informed it would work it does not. It appears that my hardware does not work on the "a" band.
My question is can the card be reaplaced or is it built into the board. If it is in built can an extermal wireless card be purchased to do the job?
Just in case you asked I have read the forums updated the drivers and enabled the "n" on the AdHoc advanced profile for my Atheros AR9002WB-1NG

Hi
The Wlan card is connected to the miniPCI port on the motherboard and its possible to remove/disconnect the card.
But there could be still an compatibility issues between new device (Wlan chip) and the BIOS.
I read here in the forum that someone has replaced the Wlan card and finally the notebook didnt boot up due to the compatibility problems between the Wlan and BIOS.
So in your case I recommend using an external Wlan solution.
The WLan stick is easy in use and should be compatible with most systems.

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
USB wireless "dongle:"
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
USB PCI adaptor:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner.

How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
Thanks in advance

You are likely forgetting a step.
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon
Click Edit in the small window that appears
Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
Click Restart

NB200 Can connect to wireless networks, but cannot connect to the internet

I have been able to connect my Win XP netbook to my secure wireless network at home, other people's networks and public networks like the library and McDonalds. This week I'm away from home and discovered that while I can still connect to a number of different wireless networks, I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
I've had this problem once before and fixed it by reinstalling Windows XP and all my other software. I have no idea why it has happened again. I'm hoping for a less drastic solution to the problem..?

Hi Nakia,
> I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
Have you tested other browsers like Mozilla Firefox and does this work?
As MasterG wrote try to renew the IP address using the commend line.
Last week I had a similar problem and I could solve it by updating the WLAN driver. Just remove the driver, restart the notebook and install the newest one. :)

I cannot connect to the internet. I think I have my settings all out of whack now and need to get them back to the way they were when it was working. (I know my wireless router is working because my Dell has no problem connecting to the internet.)

I cannot connect to the internet on my iMac through my wireless router. I think I screwed up the settings and need to reset them. I know the router is working because I can access the internet on my Dell laptop which is located right next to my Mac.

On your iMac try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

My iPad cannot connect to my internet. the internet is working but not with my ipad.

my iPad cannot connect to my internet. the internet is working but not with my ipad.

Call your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and explain them your issue, it could range from having your router configured incorrectly to having a wiring issue. Personally, I have Comcast and they are great, no issues, and awesome customer service.
Hope you get up and running ASAP

Hi richardwilliams51,
If you are having difficulty connecting to the Internet using your Apple TV, I would suggest troubleshooting using the steps in this article -
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
If that does not completely fix your Apple TV, you may need to restore it, using this article -
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the internet. Airplay logo not available on ipad3, iPod touch3g and showing intermittently in iTunes on windows laptop. Switched ISP a few days ago. Entered pass key info on all.

I switched ISP a few days ago and had problems with airplay since. After restarting and reinstalling and updating, re entering pass keys for new wi fi on everything, Apple TV shows: Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the Internet. Ipad3 and iPod touch 3G have no airplay icon or get one briefly then it disappears again. Same with itunes on windows laptop.
Can anyone help?
Bob

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
