Help Laptop Cannot Detect my Wireless Card Satellite L305 S5946

So I had to re-install windows to fix a couple of issues I was having. I currently have everything working except now this laptop is not registering that it has a wireless card. I can connect through ethernet and it shows that connection, but it shows no device for the wireless connection and will not read any wireless networks. THe only thing I have under Network Connections in Device Manager is for the Realtek RTL 8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC NDIS 6.0. Also under Manage Connections, it shows only a Lan Connection for wired connection. Anyone have any ideas? This laptop is running vista currently. Any help would be appreciated, I am completely stumped at this point. Thanks! (PS yes I know there is a button to turn wireless on and off, and it is currently switched to on and the light is lit up for wireless)

I checked a couple things. On your computer you can turn off the LAN in the Bios, but not the wireless card. Your computer came with an Athros 802.11b/g card. And the computer should be seeing it. But if it isn't, try reinstalling the driver. Or have a technician look at the computer and verify that the card is there and not half out of the slot or damaged.

I can't find an Arris router with that model number, are you sure it is not a TG862?
Regardless, Arris routers are known to either be incompatible with Bonjour or have problems with Bonjour packets hence Airprint will not work. Check with Arris' website and see if there is a firmware update availble for your router for Bonjour/Airprint compatibility and install it or switch out your router.

My iphone 5c cannot detect my sim card to get started to be activated

My iphone cannot detect my sim card and get activated. On top of the left corner indicates the word "searching"? Please Help

The iPhone is locked to a different carrier. Only that carrier and authorize unlocking so you can use the iPhone with other carriers, so you will have to contact that original carrier and ask if you qualify for unlocked and if so what their procedure is.

Cannot detect mts sim card

I am wondering why my iphone cannot detect MTS sim card even if my iphone is unlocked I tried using other sim card like rogers and it works.

A store can not unlock it. Unlocking is performed by the end user via iTunes after a request is submitted to the carrier and processed through them to Apple.

Mac Mini Airport Extreme - Cannot detect any wireless networks

Hello,
Last week my Mac Mini (Power PC)'s hard disk crashed. So I did a DIY replacement. I managed to re-install all the software, and installed all the latest updates.
However, for some reason, the Airport Extreme is not detecting any wireless network after the re-install.
My own wireless network router is a third-party, which has been working well for the last 2 years. My Window PC and laptop still connects to it fine.
I can see the Airport icon but it doesn't how any detected networks (and there are quite a few in my neighbourhood). I did Apple Hardware Test and it shows the Airport card to be working ok.
Any help would be wonderful!
Regards,
Leng

It still may be possible that the antenna wire is not placed properly within the Mini. Here are an excerpt of the DIY instructions for installing the wireless antenna. Hope it helps...
- Make sure that the antenna cables are firmly seated in the mezzanine board.
- Pass the antenna cables through the gap at the rear of the internal frame.
- Carefully lower the internal frame down onto the motherboard. Make sure that the wires are routed to the right of the interconnect board.
- Snap the AirPort antenna onto the black plastic column next to the rear port panel.
- Tape the AirPort antenna wire to the edge of the DVD drive.

Attempting to connect daughter's laptop with a Neatgear wireless card

I am trying to connect my daughter's laptop to my network. I have downloaded Network Magic, etc. Is there an easy step-by step tutorial or checklist I can access to connect her to my router? Network Magic is telling me that I have other network connection software and it has to be disabled before continuing (**bleep**?). I am being driven mad. Just need to have a step by step list to get it connected. If necessary, I can delete everything (Network Magic, etc,. and the like) and start fresh if that is necessary. Any experts available to help? Thanks in advance,
Forgot to mention that she is using a Netgear MA 401 wireless card. Router is the WRG54S Version 7.

Which operating system you are using on the computer...?
Are you able to connect other wireless computer to your network..?
First of all make sure that your adapter is installed properly on the wireless computer..Go to the linksys setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar from the wired computer and change the wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz.Change the SSID (network name) to some unique name(not linksys)...Confirm the Network/Security key.Now,locate and try to connect the wireless network on the wireless computer.

Dv9810us after recovery windows will not detect the wireless card that is bulit into the computer.

After running the recovery (Vista 32) from the recovery partition my computer no longer sees the Wifi card installed.
There is nothing in device manager, the hp wireless wizard doesn't detect anything. I went to HP's site and download the 3 different wifi drivers that it would be and installed them. I can not rememeber what the adapter was.,. thats a problem.
This system was a refurbed unit when I bought it, if the salesman was correct it was recalled because of a faulty Wireless card. I wonder if they replaced the card with one that the restore partition installation could not detect.
Any ideas?

first make sure the wifi is turned on either by a switch located on the front of keyboard or a soft touch icon near the display.. if you have the soft touch make sure it's blue in color if its orange its turned off

[using iwl3945, it's FAST] ipw3945d fails to detect my wireless card

I have a laptop with an Intel 3945ABG wireless card and I have been using the ipw3945d daemon which has been working great. However, on a package update somewhere, it stopped working. When I try to run /etc/rc.d/ipw3945d

I have it blacklisted.
update: I tried just using the iwl3945 kernel module and it works fine with a little bit of configuration to my network scripts. Actually, it works excellent. It seems a hell of a lot faster than the ipw3945d. Before, sites took a moment to load, but now the forums, as well as djforums.com (another forum I go to), YouTube, etc., come up in literally about a second!

How To use a wireless in Satellite L305-S5968

I just recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite L305-S5968 and I've never used or been able to set up a wireless PC.
How exactly can I use this PC to be wireless so I can login for free at the local library.
My wireless network card is this one: Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter.
I have the LAN working just fine but I'm afraid that the library does not have LAN plugins there.
What all do I need and what do I need to do to make this work.
I need step by step instructions on this please do not post vague answers.
I'm not a PC idiot, but I have never set this up before so this is new for me.
EDIT: Sorry I realize this may help...
I'm running Windows XP SP2 on here I believe.
I have my own disk i installed it with. I'll also be installing the wireless driver becasue apparently its missing as well.
Thanks

Hi,
Im a little bit confused about your posting. What you want to know exactly?
I mean you can WLAN instead of LAN without problems. Its the same just without cable. You have only to check the TCP/IP settings on your computer that is also depending on the router and type in the right password from the router Thats all!
Furthermore I have founded an interesting document:

Cannot connect to wireless on Satellite L300D-13S

Bought this new laptop Satellite L300D-13S
The wireless doesn't seem to work, the switch and light are on and the divice manger shows theres nothing wrong with the driver my hub seems to be working fine with my older laptop etc so i think my hubs ok. Is this a commen problem?
Its a BT home Hub if that helps and if i use the cable from the hub to the laptop it works fine and conects up with out a problem, please help

Hello,
To connect your notebook to the router wirelessly should not be big problem. The principle on all Toshiba notebooks is the same.
At first be sure the WLAN card is installed properly. The status can be checked in device manager.
Be sure the WLAN card is also enabled properly Move the WLAN switch to ON position (WLAN LED must be ON). After doing this use FN+F8 key combination and be sure option ON is chosen.
So now the WLAN card should be enabled properly.
Click on START > Connect To and Connect to a network window will be shown. On the right side click on refresh button and hopefully available WLANs will be listed. If your favourite WLAN is listed there click on it and then on Connect button. On the next step enter WLAN key (if the network is encrypted) and you should have connect to the router.
If the WLAN is not visible then it can be because of false settings on the router. If your router is not so old check WLAN settings there and enable automatic mode (data transfer speed). Maybe your old notebook has WLAN card A/B and new one runs on G (54 MBit/s transfer speed). Be sure this mode is enabled too.

Need help connecting to internet with wireless card

I am currently able to connect 4 Mac laptops and 1 G5 desktop to my Airport Extreme without any problems. I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 with a Dell Truemobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI card that recognizes my AE and connects to it, but I can't get it to connect to the internet. I've tried using the internet connection setup wizard for an isp with username and password but it wants to configure a dialup connection. I've tried just double-clicking on my Internet Explorer icon but it won't connect. I know I've overlooked something(s) but I would like to know if there a procedure that someone can walk me through to get connected. I've also tried using a Belkin USB wireless adapter which also recognizes the Airport, but I still can't get connected. Any help would be greatley appreciated. Steve

What "bands" does a Truemobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI card support? 802.11a/b or 802.11b/g ?
Start Menu -> Run -> cmd -> ipconfig
Are you getting a valid IP address for your private LAN ?

Cannot detect any wireless networks on my HP ENVY TouchSmart m7 j120dx

Hello,
My laptop won't pick up any wireless networks at all - I'm having what seems like a few different problems:
1. Because the laptop won't pick up any wireless networks, I can't of course connect to the internet without using my ethernet cable.
2. When I try to turn my adapter on using the F12 key, all it does is toggle airplane mode - which isn't going to help me connect to the internet.
3. When I go to 'Network' under PC Settings, I can toggle airplane mode but the bluetooth is greyed out and can't be toggled and it doesn't even give me an option to turn back on my wifi adapter.
4. When I went into the Network and Sharing Center to enable the adapter that way under 'Change Adapter Settings', I couldn't even see the adapter listed there. All it showed was Ethernet and Hamachi because I use LogMeIn Hamachi on my computer.
By this point, I was like "Oh, great - the adapter might somehow not even be there even though it was last night," (I was online wirelessly the night before) so I went into the device manager and then expanded Network Adapters I only saw the same two Ethernet and LogMeIn adapters.
5. So next, I tried downloading the adapter - but the problem is, I have no idea what kind my laptop is supposed to have. Going to the download drivers section in the support area of the hp website, I found many options and none of them seemed to work. I also tried redownloading the Wireless Button Driver (whatever that's called) and that didn't work.
5. I even tried doing a system restore to a point of about a week ago - this also did not solve my problem because the same things were happening and the same things I tried above still are not solving the problem either.
I know countless other people have had the same problem(s) mentioned above (simple Google search told me that) with their HP ENVY Notebook PCs, so I'm hoping that someone can help me and finally solve this problem for me.
The model is HP ENVY TouchSmart m7 j120dx, the model number is E8A11UA#ABA, and my computer is running Windows 8.1 64-bit.
On another note, here's the names of the only 2 adapters that show up in my device manager list (one is for LogMeIn Hamachi);
Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (Ethernet)
LogMeIn Hamachi Virtual Ethernet Adapter (Hamachi)
The wireless was working fine before with Hamachi installed, so I doubt that has any significance.
If there's any other information you need that I did not mention above, feel free to ask me. I look forward to someone replying as soon as possible and being able to find a solution to this problem for me!
EDIT: One other thing I should mention is that the wifi in my location is working fine for every other device I try (phone, gaming console, other people's laptops/desktops, etc.

Hello dginther,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand wireless is not working properly. If the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore
Next, please try the steps in this HP document: Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 8)
These steps should be enough to resolve the issue. If not, you can try a manual reinstall of the driver:
1. Go into Device Manager, then Network adapters.
2. Right-click on the wireless driver, and select "Uninstall".
3. Restart the computer. This will force the driver to reinstall itself.
Please let me know the results of your troubleshooting. Thanks!
Mario
I worked on behalf of HP.

My laptop cannot find my wireless printer. Everything is setup correctly.

I have an HP officejet J6480. Everything worked fine until I purchased a new router. The network has been set up on the pc and the printer. For some reason my pc cannot fine the printer even when the ip address is entered manually. Help

On these kind of laptop the wifi light at front goes blue, when the sliding switch is ON. Make sure it is blue. You can verify laptop's is working or not by going to a hot spot area and connecting to wireless network there.

After upgrade to iOS 8.0.2, my laptop cannot detect new pictures to import nor access photo folders in iPhone 5c

New ios 8.0.2 cannot import pictures to laptop from iPhone 5c

I just replicated it. If I accidently pull down notification center (or on purpose), it will no longer be possible to stop the alarm through normal means. If you cannot pull down the notification center while the alarm is sounding, your phone is set up differently.
My alarm and notification center are set to default settings.
I did discover that toggling the vibrate switch will turn it off but I’ve never noticed that feature before. So at least, there’s a workaround. I doubt this is the intended behavior, however.
I'll still mark this as answered. Thank you for your time!
