Gigafast Wireless adapter question

I have an Imac 17 inch 1.25 ghz. I bought a Gigfast usb adapter to go wireless. I installed the driver, and followed the guide instructions. When I go to Network it shows the adapterand the IP and Sub addresses but no router address. It does not give me the Apply Now option. The icon next to the gagafast adapter in network is yellow. Not sure what I need to do to get it to connect to my linksys router. Someone mentioned changing to WAP. Currently my router is set to disable. I have two WPA options: wpa radius or wpa pre shared key....

The instructions are very easy KB 26264, iMac (17-inch 1GHz) and iMac (USB 2.0): Customer-Installable Parts Instructions.

No Wireless Adapter Found in Vista on MacBook Pro with Boot Camp

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro for which I recently installed Boot Camp. After installing Boot Camp 2.0 as well as after updating to Boot Camp 2.1, while all other drivers appear to have installed fine, Windows Vista (64) does not detect a wireless adapter.
Is there a specific driver I can download and install?

A better place to ask your question would probably be the Boot Camp forum.

Another question..
Is This router suposed to be so hot? It's almost 100 F degree..normal work, Only one Pc wired and vonage modem connected to it.
At this very moment there's no wireless client connected to it.
Thanks

Yes. You need an adapter which supports the 5 GHz band. A 802.11g adapter won't connect to the 5 GHz band. That only operates on 2.4 GHz.

Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Device List Not Finding Windows 8 Wireless Adapter

I recently upgraded my Wi-Fi router to an EA3500 and am controlling it using Smart Wi-Fi running on a wired Windows 7 machine.
So far, I have been able to add devices to the network without issue and each of those connections works fine. All, except my TV, have been Windows 7 based machines.  Smart Wi-Fi Device List has been able to "see" each device and I have been able to add them to that list as well.
I am attempting to add a Windows 8 desktop computer to the network which is using a external USB wireless adapter. That computer can see and connect to the network through the EA3500 and the connection seems to work fine. The only issue is that its adapter does not show up in the Device List.
My questions:
1) Does the Device List do anything else besides showing a list of devices I chosen to add to my network?
2) How do I get my Windows 8 wireless adapter to show up in the Device List?
Thanks In Adance!

I would like to chime in here too. I also have the same issue as described on an older Mac desktop. The ethernet port has failed so it connects only via the AirPort wireless. My issue is IMPORTANT because until this devices shows up on the Device List I cannot apply the Parental Controls. Joining Orloldman for an answer... (Thanks!)
Try the following:
1.       Disconnect the computer from the wireless network
2.       Remove wireless network profile on your computer
3.       Reboot the computer and power cycle the router
4.       Reconnect to the wireless network
5.       Check if the computer shows up on the device list.
If it is still not showing, reset and reconfigure the wireless router.

Belkin wireless adapter F5D6050 keeps loosing settings when i first boot up

I have to go into belkin wireless adapter setup everytime i reboot the machine.
i am running 10.3.9 using the above adapter and it is doing my head in, any help would be gratefully apprieciated.

Hi David White,
Alternatively, after password recovery you can modify the configuration to be what you want, and then issue:
write memory
to save the configuration. You can then verify that your changes have been saved to the startup config by issuing:
show startup-config"
The only good thing is that when I switch off a router it erase configuration except my new password which I created after password reset. Everything else is getting vanished (ADSL settings, DHCP, routing ) everything. Even new admin accounts I created.
Well have a question to your above comments. I am new in Cisco so please put as much detail as you can for me to understand. When you say modify configuration do you mean to go to Cisco CP Express graphical interface and then connect router to hyper terminal and execute above commands?
Why router doesn't remember this anyway. There must be some option to change in configuration to make thing permanent when I hit apply changes in Cisco CO Express otherwise it is pointless to heve it.
Phillip
write memory
is
copy running-config startup-config"
Can't this be done via Cisco CP Express or set up router to copy this every time I change this in graphical interface rather going to command line to achnoledge it?
I understand your concern about this router and somebodie's configuration details as you want things to be un-used when you buy them - true. ADSL details belongs to the shop which sold me the router so that is why I don't make a big problem about this. We take most of hardware from this shop and have discount and many good deals with them so I think they have been just testing it and forgot to erease their config. It might be that someone has returned router to the shop and they have repaired it and tested it.
I hope this is a normal behaviour of this router as I have option to replace it in case this is a fault.
Could you please write me step by step guide how can I make changed options stay permanently on router?
thank you
Dragan

No wireless adapter after clean install

I have an X61 and did a clean install of Windows Vista Ultimate and now my internal wireless adapter card is not showing in my device manager. It worked before the install, so I know the hardware is there. What do I do?

Inside your device manager, do you have Yellow Question Marks next to other devices or any issues with your chipset drivers.
The WiFi adapter drivers are useless if the chipset that supports the socket, that supports the WiFi card are malfunctioning or missing.
Hopefully, you aren't being encumbered by user mode privileges and you've thoroughly executed the system in manager / Admin mode and experienced the same issues.

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

Hi,
Not many laptops support 3 wireless antennas and wireless cards like the Ultimate-N 6300. I have the card myself on Dv6 but it's the 1st generation of the Core i7 processors and also modding the BIOS was necessary to make the card compatible with the laptop. Intel 6150 and 6230 are compatible with the Dv6-6000 Intel based series laptops but the Ultimate-N 6300 not.
Dv6-7000 /Full HD/Core i5-3360M/GF 650M/Corsair 8GB/Intel 7260AC/Samsung Pro 256GB

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! :)

Wireless/ Wired Question

Hey Guys,
I have a simple question, If my wireless is turned on, on the imac, does it bypass my wired connection?
The reason why i ask is.... I picked up a Western Digital Live media player, i also picked up a TP-Link usb wireless adapter so i can stream videos over wireless network. But the only way i can get it to work is to have the Mac's wireless on.

Thanks for the warm welcome to the site ..
This is my set up. I'am using a D-Link wireless router, i'am hardwired to to the imac. this is my preferred connection to the main computer Also Hardwired the Xbox 360. Im Using the wireless just for the Macbook,Iphone,Wife's Laptop,and now the TP-Link Usb Wireless adapter for the WD Live Media Player.
But as long as the wired connection will be the Default connection and the wireless will not "take over" and potentially slow my connection(makes for an un-happy wife... LOL). to me it does not matter because i always use my macbook. i would just like to know thats all....
thanks again,
Bill

Using D-link G650 wireless adapter

Hi all I have a question,,,I have a D-Link dwl-g650 wireless adapter I want to try and use in my PB TI I know it is for most pc's but I found site ( http://www.stateofyo.net/metaphyzx/Wireless.htm ) that say it can be use in it,,I only have to install a new driver software from OrangeWare to make it work,,but when I download it it is in a .sit format how do i make this work..I'm new to macs and still learning all there little tricks any advice on this would be great.....
I know there are other cards out there that will work but thought I'd give this a try since I had it already.....

this is a stuffit file format. you can try to download stuffit expander or go get "the unarchiver." - http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html
I like the unarchiver app better, personally. it's easy to install & setup - all you do is open the .dmg file by a double click, drag the app to your Mac HD/Applications folder, & double click the app to open the quick setup panel - which consist of checkmarks for the various formats. you don't have to really do anything but click OK.
now double click the sit file, it should unpack it in the same place where your sit file is sitting.

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.
View Solution.

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.

Intermittent Connection – New Wireless Adapter Nee...

Hi everyone,
I help an elderly neighbour with her laptop and she has started to hit connectivity problems with her existing set-up. She has been with BT broadband for just over one year, using their Hub v2.0. Although connection problems have happened before, they are getting worse.
Her laptop is almost seven years old and is running Win XP. She is currently using a NetGear wireless adapter (from the RangeMax range), and it is about five years old. I am guessing that the problem is caused by the hub and the wireless adapter not really 'talking' to each other as nothing else about her set-up has changed.
So, my question is which wireless adapter could she use instead? If you have had this problem and have resolved it I would really appreciate hearing from you.
Many thanks.

Short answer:
Try this workaround; despite my own scepticism when first advised about it, this will fix both wifi and ethernet problems; the fact that your HH2 will not connect to your wifi and/or your ethernet connector is related to the HH2’s acknowledged problem with its DHCP table.
Access the Hub and set your wifi channel to non-automatic and select Channel 11.
Save the settings and re-boot the HomeHub and your PC.
Check your performance and that your wifi and/or ethernet connection is working normally, if this works you are OK, if not repeat the cycle and choose, in turn, Channels 9 and 1.
If your line speed is under-performing, it is now very important let the HH run very specifically for the training period uninterrupted (whether you believe that to be 72 hours, five days or ten days is for you to decide). I stress, do NOT reboot or disconnect the HH during that period to enable the exchange and it to establish the optimum speed for the line (during that period you may observe the HH resetting itself during renegotiation - that is normal).
Long answer:
See my post of22 Sept 2011:
BT Failure & Sanctioned Workaround for HomeHub V 2.0 A
Good Luck
