CQ56-115DX and wireless card

Sorry I posted in the wrong forum.

Hi,
unfortunatly you can't use a wireless mini PCI card in this notebook model, because there are no antennas installed. According to my experiences with wireless cards the best way is to use a WLAN PC card. They are very easy to install and don't cause so many problems like other cards.
Bye

  • Equium L10-273 and wireless card

    I have got a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card - 802.11b/g (PA3363E-1MPC) and have placed it into the laptop, do i need to connect up the black and white wire (which are not free and connected to the main board) or is that routed to the card in the main board.

    Hi
    Well, as far as I know the cables are loose if the unit is wireless compatible and if its possible to upgrade the notebook with wireless card. I found some informations about this unit and it says Wireless is not enabled on this unit.

    In this case Im not 100% sure but I dont think that its possible to upgrade your notebook with the Wireless card.
    But if you want you can contact the Toshiba service partner to get more detailed informations about this case.

  • Lenovo g570 and wireless card problems

    Ello folks,
    I recently bought a Lenovo g570 Notebook, started using it all went fine recently i even upgraded my windows 7 to windows 8 x 64 and everything was swell. At some point my wireless connection was working fine but then BAM my wireless connection dissappeared from the list of connections. I must say that i had the same problem with the previous windows 7. Figured that the broadcast from the router was the problem but it turned out it wasn't sooo i'm assuming it's some kind of setting from the laptop because all other wireless using tech from home can see that particular network, all except the lenovo notebook.
    Any help would be appreciated. I must say that i recently updated every driver to the latest after deinstalling the previous ones, without any result..... It's driving me nuts ....

  • I need a wireless option for older Mac desktop is there a good card or adapter  I want to transfer hd video files over the internet.  using a hotspot and wireless card in computer, any recommendations

    Is there a good card I can put in the computer, and use with a hotspot?  Any experience with uploading HD video files this way.  DSL hard wired connection is too slow

    As for the people on eBay, my only beef with them is that it has turned into a money hungry store instead of an auction place to pick things up inexpensively, like it used to be.
    Agreed.
    There is one, in particular, who really puts a dear price on his flashed cards.
    Not a friend to the Mac community.
    Of course, others see his prices, and say "Well, if he can, then so can I".....
    By the way, I have been noticing the same cards, only for PC for around $30-$40, which lead me to believe that those are the ones they are "flashing". Sorry if that's incorrect.
    It's OK.
    I watch for the prime cards all the time.
    Radeon 9800 Pro and XT PC cards have increased to the $50-$70 range.
    Pros used to be $20-$30, XTs $30-$60.
    Some guys here in Japan are trying to get $100 for Radeon 9800 Pro cards- vanilla PC versions.
    The glut in Mac options has inflated the flashable PC card market dramatically.....
    The Mac Edition Pro retailed for $200+.
    $100 isn't bad for that card flashed to Mac... the XT gets $20-$50 more.
    Try telling a PC guy that a Radeon 9800 is a $100 card..... the old boys laugh!
    Adding to this is the recent influx of "new" Mac users, PC modders/users buying cheap, used G4's, and the demand for upgrades has increased as supply decreased.
    If you see any rev 5.70 Geforce 7800 GS AGP cards, or any FireGl (Radeon) X800XT (unflashed) cards for less than $130, amazing is all that I have to say.
    $30-$40, and I'll take 20 of each- cash!
    Hmm, same goes for Geforce 6800 Ultra's......
    I am just a little (or a lot) frustrated with Apple and Apple vendors lately. For obvious and not so obvious reasons. Please accept my apologies as I go through this phase.
    We all have our days, and our reasons. At least, I know I do......
    Apology warmly accepted!
    Count me as frustrated, as well.
    The new machines sure look nice, but when I tally up the price of the software that I own, which can't be run on Intel or 10.6x Macs, my room full of G4's look a lot nicer.

  • Been losing connection for magic mouse and wireless keyboard

    When I have my MBP running Mavericks in clamshell mode, I lose connections to both magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard in clamshell mode. I've tried all the PRAM SCM, aluminum foil and paper tricks. What I then did was test what happens when I leave the MBP open rather than in clamshell mode and it appears to avoid losing connection, at least that is what I've concluded with Mavericks for now..... anyone else able to replicate this? Having to leave the MBP open is not ideal.

    Barry, thanks, still not working.  I've tried every thing I can think of or have read, what I'm concluding is that there is either a problem with Mavericks or something has changed on how bluetooth works in Mavericks. Did not have this problem for the last 4 years. I can reproduce the problem when I close the laptop. I had the Bluetooth and wireless card checked out and replaced about 3 weeks ago. Problem has continued.

  • How to change wireless card locale?

    I'm unable to connect to router, which is set to channel 12 or 13. So I start googling and I found out that in the US and Canada, approved channels are 1-11 but in Europe it is 1-13.
    I check my wlan adapter on MB Air and wireless card locale is set to USA!
    Is it possible to change wireless card locale to Worldwide?
    Thanks, David

    The location on your Mac should be set by the same time zone used for the Mac's clock. (you don't say where in the world you are)
    You have to log into your router to change the country/ area channel for the router.

  • KT4AV hates Wireless Card. NewB Help

    Hey all. My computer runs to perfection up until I install a wireless network card (D-LINK G520 rev.b). After installation I can get an "excellent" connection to my wireless network but my computer runs like heck and locks up constantly. Sometimes everything runs smoothly. But the instant I run too many programs or download something... I'm asking for it. It's as if I can see the network activity in my mouse movements (i.e. mouse pointer jumps as network connection jumps).
    My computer is a good 25-30 feet from the wireless router so I don't want to thread any ethernet cord over.
    Any insight?? I would really appreciate the help as I'm about to bash my head in with computers (My other computer's motherboard is out on RMA).
    here are my computer details to the best of my knowledge:
    KT4AV MSI mobo, I haven't altered the bios... original/default version & settings
    AMD Athlon XP 1500+
    F.S.B is 133MHz (??)... not to sure on that one
    512 MB RAM Kingston Aluminum
    ATI RADEON 9600 Pro with version 4.6
    Power supply is 330W unknown brand
    Primary IDE Master is 40GB HD
    Primary IDE Slave is 60GB HD
    Secondary IDE Master is TDK CDRW 241040B
    Secondary IDE Slave is JLMS (LiteOn) DVD-ROM
    PCI Slots (other than vid card and wireless card) is the USB card that came with the mobo
    Windows XP Pro with SP1
    I hope that's everything. I'm not sure how to check the core temp other than the BIOS. I have some Thermaltake heat sink monster thing (was big and expensive)... two other standard fans...
    And this is my secondary computer so there's not a lot installed on here... (33GB and 57GB free respectively per HD)
    Any ideas???
    Thanks -> Mr_Self_Destruct
    P.S. the fact that I made it to the end of this posting w/o a crash is remarkable!

    Well there's a 400W PSU in my comp now and my computer is still running really rough. Real herky/jerky. I attempted to download something and the OS froze up almost immediately. So the PSU wasn't the solution.
    And yes... I do have the latest drivers for this wireless card (just checked http://www.dlink.com).
    Any further ideas??  
    As I said before... I can put in an ethernet cable and the comp runs fine. But I don't want to.

  • Snow Leopard and my alltel wireless card do not get along.

    I recently purchased an alltel wireless card for my MacBook that connects to the internet fine, but appears to be messing with the operating system . . . or something. Alltel said they write their software according to the information they received from Apple. Apple says they send the operating system to Alltel, and they have no way to fix my problem. Can anyone out there help me?
    It seems that if I shut down my MacBook after every time I use the card, I am OK.
    If I use it more than once without shutting down, things start to go wrong. For example, sometimes the keyboard stops working. The mouse is fine.
    More often, I disconnect from the Quicklink (alltel) software, pull the card, only it seems the software has not truly disconnected, as the Menu Bar ceases to work, the colored wheel spins and spins, and I cannot shut down my MacBook, not even w/the "3 magic keys," unless I press the power button. A complete shutoff always solves any problems.
    I did check Disk Utility and found that many disk permissions did not match and repaired them. This did not fix the problem.
    My local Mac "fixer" said she had the same problem with another customer and had to re-install the operating system, etc., etc., but would have to charge me a minimum of $70. She has no idea why this worked or if it will work with my MacBook. I do not want to spend $70 with no guarantee, or even probability, that the problem will be solved.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Voodooflea, I have experienced exactly the same problem as you describe here. The solution I found was to simply NOT use the QuickLink Mobile software to connect. Rather, just go into your System Preferences and then to the Network section. If it isn't already there, create a new connection with the modem, putting in the appropriate numbers for the telephone and account name. Then, connect from within the Network system preferences and you probably won't have the lock-up of your computer. It seems that I only have this problem when I use the QuickLink Mobile software to connect. Let us know if this works for you.

  • I have a 2009 Mac mini and the wireless card has never worked, would I be able to cover it with my three year extended warranty?

    If you mean AppleCare, then I would believe the answer will be yes.
    First make sure you have a full backup of everything on your Mac, then run, don't walk to your nearest Apple store.
    Note: Due to your Mac now being in computer years, somewhat elderly, Apple may not have the require parts in stock. This will either mean you might have to leave it with them for a number of days, or maybe they will offer you a new Mac mini. While a new Mac mini (if offered) might be a welcome possibility be aware that the new Mac mini no longer has a CD/DVD drive and it comes with Mac OS X Lion and as a result might not run some of your old software.

  • Wireless cards and uploading iWeb??

    Spent many hours/days trying to upload our new iWeb site to our hosting service (not MobileMe or .Mac) via both Cyberduck and Filezilla. The files start uploading and then after a few minutes, it stops and gives me an Incomplete msg. Our site is mainly text and photos (about 9MB, I believe)- no slide shows, blogs or anything fancy. A fellow at the hosting service suggested that maybe using a wireless card could be the problem. Has anyone had trouble with this???
    Thank you.

    Well, we switched from using a wireless card to our local internet service which isn't wireless (except for the three feet from our computer to the little black box!). We still had trouble uploading our iWeb site to the hosting service (we switched to HostExcellence). FileZilla (as well as Cyberduck) kept shutting down in the middle of an upload (even when I broke it down into small files). Finally, I worked with one fellow from HE who had me PUT OUR FILES INTO A ZIP FILE AND IT WORKED!!
    Just wanted to share that in case it could help anyone.
    Thanks

  • Wireless card and kernel panic

    So for no apparent reason my airport has failed in my powerbook 17" 1.5 w/1.5. It just has no strength to start and seems to loose juice as time in a given session passes. so I threw a wireless card I had in to see how it would fare. The good news is that it works great but the bad news was that I often had to restart it up to 10x to get it to start instead of just going to the kernel panic screen. The functionality is so hobbled without the card that I'm willing to do this every time I restart but it would be great to make everything sing again.The card is a Sonnet card and they have no functional plugin to fix the issue. I'm running 10.4.9 solidly with no other issues and no other problems once i get a clean startup. Any ideas?

    Kernel panics are not good news as my FAQ* explains:
    http://www.macmaps.com/kernelpanic.html
    If they happen only with the Sonnet card, ask them for updated drivers.
    If they happen with no Sonnet card, it sounds like the router you are using needs a new firmware update. See my FAQ* on Wireless:

  • Connectivity Issues WRT54G router and 2915ABG Dell wireless card

    My wife and I both have Dell Inspiron 600m laptops with nearly the same setup: XP Pro, 2915ABG wireless cards, and the wireless connection is controlled through ProSet Wireless. We have Comcast and connect to a WRT54G wireless router. The router has WPA enabled, MAC address filtering, and the latest Firmware.
    I have no trouble connecting to or remaining connected to the router. Her machine connects to the wireless, but randomly loses connection (sometimes it's connected for hours and other times it losses connection in the first five minutes). When I watch the ProSet wireless event viewer, it only says "link down."
    To attempt to fix this problem, I have:
    played with the router's settings including changing channels
    updated her drivers
    allowed windows to control the wireless card
    reset the router
    updated the router's firmware
    None of these actions have fixed the problem. The only real differences between the two machines is that I did the following to mine:
    My machine was the one that initially set up the wireless router
    I used the Comcast install CD on my machine (then deleted all the *junk* that was installed by the CD).
    I would like to avoid using the Comcast install CD on her machine because no one needs the extra junk they install. I did set up her machine according to the internet on how to set up Comcast without the CD.
    I am trying to figure out if the problem is with the router or with her hardware. Thank you,
    Michael

    Try upgrading the firmware on the router.

  • TVAC and other TV utilities not recognizin​g wireless card -- even after reinstall attempts

    so first things first, im on a T61p, XP pro SP3, Intel 4965AGN
    i guess we'll start from the top...
    1.) TVAC works great, im happy.
    2.) i go to update all my system drivers through the update utility. wireless driver update hangs midway through, and wont connect on restart. no surprise.
    3.) i get the driver on a different machine from the lenovo support page. install, reboot, card works, but only through the windows utility. TVAC doesnt recognize it to configure connections, and it doesnt show up in the FnF5 menu.
    4.) attempt to repair TVAC through the control panel. no dice.
    5.) uninstall both the wireless card and TVAC, then reinstall in that order. nada. attempt in reverse order. zilch.
    6.) attempt 5 in safe mode. still nothing. not showing up. say screw it and use the windows utility, then get pissed when i realize i need static IP switching capabilities.
    so, something isnt fully un-installing, or so i'd guess. i'd assume its not a compatibility issue with the new driver, though it could be.
    any advice to get it working correctly, even if its retrying a particular step?

    someone must know... help!

    I have the HP dv9925nr laptop with AMD x64 dual core processors. I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and when I recieved and my Wireless card is nolonger working. The system does not even recognise the card being there. How do I get it back and where are the proper drivers for this operating system? It's been a year and no new drivers have been posted as of yet.
    Also, when trying to launch any application link from a Windows 7 window, I recieve no action. Nothing happens! What's this all about?
    Anyway, I need help quick! This causing all sorts of problems for my machine.
    Thanks,

    Can you check in device manager, under network adapters if the wireless card is listed?

  • Can I pick up wireless (card and antenna questions)

    Hello mac community,
    I bought a June 2004 G5 (dual 2.5ghz) back in Aug of 2004 and at the time, I had the external antenna that came with it, but I have since lost it. I never used the computer for wireless, nor did I ever need to, and now I'm selling it but my buyers are asking if it's capable of wireless.
    I don't know if it is without the antenna, nor do I know if the stock 2.5ghz G5 came with a wireless card in it. Does this mac need a card or would telling them to buy another antenna work? I looked at this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1305 to try to find where the card would be (in the front, under a fan, above the RAM slots right?) and didn't see a card in the slot that I know of, though I'm not good with computers.
    So can this mac get wireless without a card, but with an antenna? Do I have to have a card? And did the G5 stock 2.5ghz have a card? I never removed the card if it did.
    Thanks guys

    My answers assume you're referring to wireless internet, aka Airport Extreme, 802.11a/b/g/n. In any event, most of this applies to Bluetooth as well.
    So can this mac get wireless without a card, but with an antenna?
    No.
    Do I have to have a card?
    Yes. And range will be very short (at best) without the antenna.
    And did the G5 stock 2.5ghz have a card?
    No. Airport and Bluetooth were both optional.
    So, it's capable of wireless, but needs the card and antenna to do so. If someone doesn't want to use the official Apple Airport card and antenna ,available here (card) and here (antenna)). An external USB wireless dongle, such as this one can also be used. The USB dongles are generally the only way to support the fastest wireless connection, 802.11n.
