Which driver will enable wireless adapter on my notebook

I recently purchased hp 15 notebook r204tu I am confused about which driver should I use for wireless internet access .When you go on hp website for drivers they have given 7 drivers I donot know which one would work please can any provide link to the driver or name the manufacturer of the wireless adapter I m using windows 7 64 bit sp1
This question was solved.

HP uses various brands of wireless adapters in their laptops.Your driver page has Broadcom & Qualcomm Atheros drivers so it is likely you have one or the other. You can try both- or get the hardware id of the wireless adapter. From Device Manager, right click the adapter, choose Properties. In the window that opens click the Details tab. Use the dropdown selector to choose Hardware ID. Use the top line that appears and do a search for that string to find the device name. Or you can post it here.

Wireless adapter turned off, wont enable

Hi, I got this Lenovo x201 AC4 yesterday. I installed Ubuntu 11.04, used the wireless till today morning. But then suddenly the wireless icon with LED turned off and wont turn on again and I cannot access any network right now.
Tried restarting, but no help.
It got disabled when the laptop was running on battery battery power.
I saw another similar thread, but the questioneer was using Windows. As the wireless adapter is turned off, I cannot even find and re-enable it from inside ubuntu.
Any help?
Update: The wifi led doesnt blink at the time of POST. The bluetooth one does.

I am not sure if I can really help you (I do not have a x201), but since no one else answered yet. I try to give some advices.
The most easiest way to activate the Wireless adapter on Ubuntu is on the right upper corner of your desktop in the wireless menu. but i assume that did not function.
A second method to enable Wireless is to activate it with the key combination Fn+F5, by pressing multiple times you activate and deactivate wireless and bluetooth. Pressing once activates Wireless.
there is also the possibility you deactivated wireless by switching the button on the left side just right from your yellow usb-port. Thats a hardware switch for your wireless, when turned of there is no possibility to activate wireless unless you switch it from red position to green position.
sorry thats all, if there is a driver problem i can not help...

Wireless adapter causing blue screen

Hello,About a month ago on my Lenovo Ideapad Z580, I was using the internet when it said I was no longer connected. When I tried troubleshooting, it reset the wireless connection adapter and gave me a blue screen. When it restarted and I tried troubleshootingt it again, it enabled the adapter and worked fine. Since that first time, this BSOD has happened every day, sometimes multiple times a day, but not everytime I am on the internet. I have tried doing a system restore at a few different points, but the restore always ends in an error. I checked at the driver for the wireless adapter is up to date. Please advise on what I can do to fix this problem. Thank you,Stephanie

The symptoms you describe could be symptomatic of a variety of things to include hardware/software issues, overheating caused by a failed processor fan, bad memory (RAM), failing or underpowered power supply, CPU overheating, motherboard, video card, faulty or unsigned device drivers, CMOS battery going bad, BIOS and firmware problems, dirty hardware components, programs hanging or unresponsive in the background, and even malware. If the computer is overheating, it usually begins to shutdown/restart on a more regular basis.
If the machine is only crashing at home after establishing a connection but not at work when establishing a connection, then its probably an issue with your network configuration or something (i.e. wireless adapter) causing a conflict and not a malware issue.
The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is usually due to a bad driver or faulty/incompatible hardware or software. This error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high.

Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest). I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work. (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process: IP Address. I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for DHCP Server enabled).
I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that. I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible? If so, what am I missing here? I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer! I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub tab "Port range forwarding" 1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 2) On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 3) Now save the settings 4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration" and disable the UPNP and save the settings. 5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox ip address :- 192.168.1.20 subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 default gateway :- 192.168.1.1 Please assign the dns address on the xbox primary dns :- 4.2.2.2 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...

Using Airport Extreme as a wireless adapter for an xbox 360 and/or computer

I have a wifi network that is successfully broadcasting internet, i also have a spare Airport Extreme that i would like to use as a wireless adapter for my xbox 360.
My Existing network is being broadcast from a D-Link modem so it doesn't support "extending a network" with airport extreme
What i want to achieve is:
Wifi Internet being broadcast by d-link, received by Airport Extreme WIRELESSLY, then sent via a WIRE to my xbox 360's ethernet port so that i can access internet on my xbox 360.
Unfortunately:
My Xbox 360 doesn't have built in wireless
Connecting to the d-link network wirelessly (with the airport extreme) doesn't seem to give me a wired internet connection (from the airport extreme)
I don't want to extend the network wirelessly
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance to any users who know how to solve my (probably simple) problem

Welcome to the discussions, DanSwiggsD!
If you have a non-Apple device as your main router, unfortunately the AirPort Extreme has almost no chance of compatibility with your main router.
If you do have an Apple router as your main device, please post back with your model number and we'll let you know how your devices should be configured.
If you don't have an Apple device as your main router you have a few options to connect the xbox:
1) A pair of ethernet powerline adapters could be used if you did not want to run a regular ethernet cable from your main router to the xbox.
2) The new AirPort Express 802.11n model does have a feature called Proxy STA which should allow it to receive a wireless signal from any wireless router and allow the ethernet port to be enabled.

Disabling Wireless Adapter

I want to run a Powershell Startup Script to disable the Wireless adapters on some systems. I thought I'd want to get some WMI stuff
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_NetworkAdapter -Filter "Name = 'Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205'
Then run netsh to disable it
netsh interface set interface "Wireless Network Connection" DISABLED
After looking at this I wondered why not just run the
netsh interface set interface "Wireless Network Connection" DISABLED
I don't really need the Get-WmiObject do I?

H520s Wireless adapter issues

Okay, So I'm having some issues with my H520s. The wireless adapter has been quite dodgy for the past month or so, but after using lenovo rescue to get it back to 'original condition' it's completely stopped working. I've looked through device manager and there's no mention of a wireless adapter, and any attempt to install drivers has done nothing.
Before this, I'd have to use the Network Tasks> Repair network (or simmilar) after every startup in order to get wireless working.
I have no files on the computer I need to keep, so formatting it to fix it is fine. I just want my wireless back ;_;
If you need any more information, please ask, and I'll get back to you as soon as I see it. Hope you can help ^^
EDIT: Oh, also,
Said computer is running Windows 8, preinstalled. (Listed as 'Win 8 MM' on the side, incase that means anything special)

Hi llharry,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
If your device manager is not showing your Wifi under device manager / Network adapters.
It may be having issue with the driver and may show as Network Controller or unknown device with
a yellow sign on it.
If not then It may had been disabled inside BIOS.
Try Booting into BIOS by shutting down the computer and turning it back On and tapping F1 .
Once Inside BIOS look under Configuration TAB and or under Network setup
Look for an option saying Wireless lan or Wireless adapter.
Make sure it is enabled then save and exit.
Regards
Solid Cruver

W510 Wireless Adapter: getting kicked out of most wireless networks

Hi Everyone,
I'm running a W510 with Windows 8 on it. I have an extremely annoying issue with my wi-fi network network card and I have no clue where it's coming from.
The wi-fi networks at my home and office work perfect and I haven't had a single issue with them. I recently started travelling a lot and tried using wi-fi on various locations such as open wi-fi on airports, secured networks in hotels, cafes, guest homes etc. Most of them are not workable. Here's what's happening:
I can usually connect the first time I try, but after a few minutes, and hour top I get kicked out of the network or end up with "Limited" access. When I try to reconnect the it goes into and endless "connecting" state. Trying to disconnect hangs the pane and no actions are possible until I:
1. Restart the explorer.exe process, which it "Not responding"
2. Disable and Enable the wireless adapter though the Device Manager
After that in case of some networks I can connect again for a few minutes, but then I all repeats all over OR I cannot connect back at all.
I have tried using A LOT of networks in various places, and I'd say with about 80-85% I experience the described issue.
I case of some of the networks I had a chance to connect by wire and they were working perfectly. Often I have other people around with me and of course I'm the only one facing the issue, it's not that I have really back luck for wi-fi networks. Plus my phone connects to majority of them without issue.
In many cases when I switch networks I need to manually run ipconfig /renew and ipconfig /flushdns, before being able to connect to anything.
The wifi adapter is a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN on a Lenovo W510. The driver version is 14.2.1.3. I've seen 15.x version available for download from both Intel and Lenovo sites, but when trying to install it I got info, that I already have a newer version of the driver.
Uninstalling the driver and letting windows reinstall it does not solve the issue.
I ran out of options on what to check and how to debug this further. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks,
MikeZyc

Hi, MikeZyc
I've seen this issue on many machines running Windows 8 with Intel wireless adapters. One fix that has worked more often than not is to navigate to Control Panel ► Programs and Features and uninstall the Intel Management Engine Driver. This driver seems to cause the wireless connectivity to get lost or not connect at all in Windows 8. Try uninstalling that, then restarting the computer and see if any improvement is made.
Best of luck,
Adam

Reason 442: Failed to Enable Virtual Adapter - Windows 7 64 bit

Some details about the issue.
I'm trying to connect to my client's network using VPN Client version 5.0.07.0290. The user authetication is done by providing RSA SecureID token value. After entering proper credentials, the client window gets struck at 'Securing Communication Channels...' message in status bar and reports 'Reason 442: Failed to Enable Virtual Adapter' error after few mintues. I have confirmed that this version works for other people in my team , so I'm guessing it has something to do with my system settings than the client itself.
Below are the trobleshooting tips that I have already tried.
1. Uninstall and Reinstall the client.
2. Enable WinXP SP2 compatability for ipsecdialer.exe and vpngui.exe.
3. Clicking 'Diagnose' on the Citrix Virtaul Adapter connection in Networks and Sharing centre, reports no issues.
4. Enabling Network sharing for Local Area Network and disaling Wireless Networks
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit Enterpise OS.
Appreciate any suggestions to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
PVNSKC
Update: 9/7/2011
OK, things look much better after a good vacation, always!!!
I tried to connect today by reinstalling the client after a weekend shutdown (I don't believe the cold reboot stuff, but hey, worth a try! ) and it did work. The only change I did today was to disable the Wireless Connection adapter in Networks Connections. I'm not sure whether that fixed or not cause I had tried that already. Anyway, below is my current configuration which is working for now!
1. Below executables are running in the XP compatability mode.
cvpnd.exe, VAInst64.exe, vpngui.exe
2. Local Area Connection is allowed for 'Sharing'
3. Registry is updated with below entry.
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters /v ArpRetryCount /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
4. Wireless Connection is disabled.
Thank you all for the responses.
PVNSKC

Hi,
Duplicate IP Address Triggers Error 442 on Windows 7 and Vista
The following error "Reason 442: failed to enable virtual adapter" appears after Windows 7 and Vista reports a duplicate IP address detected. Subsequent connections fail with same message, but the OS does not report a duplicate IP address detected.
To work around error 442, do the following steps:
Step 1 Open "Network and Sharing Center".
Step 2 Select "Manage Network Connections".
Step 3 Enable the Virtual Adapter ("VA"—Cisco VPN Adapter).
Step 4 Right-click on Cisco VPN Adapter and select "Diagnose" from the context menu.
Step 5 Select "Reset the network adapter Local Area Connection X".
If this procedure does not work, run the following command from cmd:
reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters /v ArpRetryCount /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Then reboot.
This resolves the issue until the OS reports a duplicate IP address again. Follow the preceding steps to resolve it again.
If that doesn't work, you might have UAC enabled. If so, you must run cmd as administrator and repeat the previous registry workaround.
NOTE: You mentioned step 4 already, try the whole sequence again, if the steps does not work then try the registry key.
Hope this helps,
Sian

Wireless Adapter permanently disabled after sleep mode - Windows 7 64 bit

Hello,
Info:
Laptop: 2014 Macbook Pro running Bootcamp (dual boot...not a VM) with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Network Adapter: Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter
Driver version: 6.30.223.215
Issue: My broadcom 802.11ac wireless adapter becomes permanently disabled when waking from sleep mode. It requires a restart in order to become enabled. If I try to manually re-enable it, I get a message saying "Enabling..." -> "Enabled!" but after this message the device still says Disabled and the wireless still won't connect to anything. This issue is very reproducible. Occurs both under battery power and when plugged in.
What have I tried?: Tried disabling the "Allow windows to disable this device to save power" under power management, which didn't work. Tried updating driver but Windows Update says the driver is up to date. I was able to find a newer version (6.30.223.227) but I can only find it hosted on Russian websites which makes me a little suspicious.

Many thanks to chemnerd1's hints - saved me going mad.
My problem was that the wifi worked perfectly until connected to a Thunderbolt display - then the wifi was permanently disabled (nothing would enable it; changing driver, changing wifi channel, uninstalling and reinstalling wifi, nothing worked). As you can imagine I was very disapointed after spending a fortune on the Thunderbolt display (brilliant kit) and then finding that I maybe only have wired internet available!
Definately, Zone Alarm was the problem (maybe other firewalls cause the same /similar problem).
My solution was -
uninstalled Zone Alarm (safe mode not required)
reboot with Thunderbolt display connected (checked that wifi now working)
reinstall Zone Alarm (important that Thunderbolt display is still connected)
reboot - checked and wifi still working perfectly - wonderful
I have to confess that I was initially blaming Apple for the problem. I did loads of searches to try and solve this and a lot of links ended with conclusions that Apple doesn't care. Well in this case it wasn't Apple's fault.

Can I get a wireless adapter for my computer then wire my Xbox from that?

Hi everyone. I live in an apartment next door to my shop and we have internet there so i hooked up a wireless when I moved in so I wouldnt have to put internet in my apt to. I get signal because the building isnt that far away but it is alittle weak. I want to get a wireless adapter for the computer but i was wondering if i could get one that my xbox will connect to. Can you guys give me some advice.

Hi you can get wireless adapter WUSB300N for the desktop or WPC300N for the laptop.Both, work great with the wireless router WRT300N.I advice you to open setup page of router using 192.168.1.1 for doing the wireless settings where the wide channel set to 20 MHZ frequency & standard channel set it to 11.Also, if you wnat to enable wireless security make sure you choose WPA as it works great with the N - series linksys products ie., with the WRT300N router & N - series adapters.

Windows 8 attempted execute of no execute memory when troubleshooting attempts to reset wireless adapter, BSOD.

Hey guys. I bought a Lenovo computer that came with windows 8 this christmas, and it runs generally well. I have been having wireless issues recently however, and I can't figure out how to solve it. Being someone who is not tech savvy at all, I decided to
post here because I was tired of putting up with it. The basics of the issue is that my internet has been slow lately. My school that I attend uses a dedicated proxy server to make sure nobody outside of the campus uses the internet. Occasionally, my internet
does not work, even with the proxy server enabled. When I scroll over the wireless indicator down on the hotbar, it does not list my networks, instead just stating "Internet access". If I try to left click it to connect or view my connections, the
bar that usually comes up on the left does not appear, instead freezing the internet indicator. If I try to troubleshoot problems, it detects for a bit, and then decides it wants to "reset wireless network adapter". About 3 seconds after saying
this, the screen freezes and then turns blue with a frownie face. After it compiles some info it says at the bottom, "for more information, look up attempted execute of no execute memory". After that my computer restarts and my internet does the
same thing. When I troubleshoot it, instead this time it states that it "cannot identify the problem". Then, if I try to open 'network and sharing center', it does not open and freezes the wireless icon. I then tried to go into my hardware manager
and just disable and re-enable the broadcom driver. When I hit stop it says it's stopping, then the device manager freezes. I can't click it, it doesn't disable the internet device, and it can't be closed. The weird thing is that after I restart my computer
when this happens, the adapter is disabled. When I re-enable the adapter, the internet works, although it's still slow. Sometimes the computer does not show the frownie face screen and instead skips to the second part, and sometimes it skips the second part
and works after the frownie face screen. That's pretty much a summary of my issues.
If it relates to this at all, my computer occasionally also does not wake up from sleep mode. I close it and put it in my bag. When I open it later, it turns out the computer was on the whole time, but the screen was black. Both the lights from the power
indicators show it as being on, and it's hot because it was using processes and the fan while it was in my bag. Once it does this, the only way to wake it up is by holding the emergency power down, and then restarting it. It's annoying, but I don't know if
it relates or not.
P.S. If you need information about my specs, or other stuff like crash files or something, let me know what you need and how I go about getting it and I'll post it for you.
Hopefully you guys can help!
Thanks,
Bobash

Satellite T130 - No wireless adapter in device manager

I only got connected to the internet yesterday. The internet worked fine, but on shut-down I had the first round of Windows updates. Now I have exactly the same situation - no wireless adapter in the device manager, no unknown or 'other' devices (some posts suggest update driver for these then it will recognise). I had not played around with the system settings at all (only had the laptop for a month) and even restoring it to before I had the internet has not got it back. Interestingly when I turn on the computer the 'internet' LED on my router blinks for a few seconds - suggesting some communication as I am the only computer connected. Also as it worked fine before (and the laptop has not even been moved) I do not believe the many responses to posts about "hardware problems". After seeing many similar questions in this and the US forum I wish I had never bought this laptop. Because I have not seen any posts with a solution apart from taking it into the service centre!
I really don't want to go down the service centre route with a brand new PC. I will never again buy Toshiba unless they offer me a downloadable/phone solution when I call them tomorrow.
I really hope someone from Toshiba is taking all these posts seriously. Don't do a Toyota.

Hi buddy,
To be honest I dont know what problem you have.
First of all its not important if your notebook is brand new or not. Such problems can happen on all computers, even if they are only few days old. Every parts are electrical parts and can die always. Nobody is able to say when it happens or can avoid this.
For example with a new car you can also have problems after few days and then you also go to the service point. ;)
Back to your problem:
You can try restoring to factory settings. If this doesnt work it seems to be a hardware malfunction but make sure that WLAN adapter is enabled with FN+F8 key combination.
I doubt that somebody from Toshiba will read your posting. Its only an user to user forum where you can talk with normal users. Toshiba isnt your first contact person, its always the authorized service provider.
Here you can search for an ASP in your country:

Good luck and I hope I could help you a little bit! :)

Third party wireless adapter?

I have an older iMac, with OS version 10.1.x; Is there any third party wireless adapter that would support this OS? I am trying to enable my old iMac to connect to our wireless router at my home. Does anyone have a solution as to what I can do?
