[Help] [Laptop] Wireless connection setup

I am currently having trouble setting up wireless connections on a laptop using, of course, Arch. I have read almost all the wikis and am still having trouble doing this. Could someone explain the steps needed to do this? Oh and some side notes, I am doing this in virtual box now, but same laptop. Thanks.

Please read the Forum Etiquette on How to Post, notable the sections on post titles, and how to ask questions the smart way.
No-one here will spoonfeed you the steps you need (which depend on factors that you have not included in your post). Work your way through the wireless page on the Wiki and, if you encounter difficulties, post back with what you tried and any errors...

    HELP
    I HAVE A LENOVO DESKTOP WITH WIRELESS CONNECTION TO MY HP PRINTER.
    I HAVE A LENOVO DESKTOP WITH WIRELESS ROUTER FOR INTERNET.
    BOTH ACTIONS CONTINUOUSLY FAILED AT 100% OF THE TIME!!!
    I HARDWIRED MY HP PRINTER ... AND ALL PROBLEMS WERE RESOLVED!!!
    YESTERDAY, I TRIED TO HARDWIRE MY ROUTER FOR THE INTERNET ... I PLUGGED IT INTO, THE 1 AND ONLY SPOT, ON MY LENOVO, YET THERE WERE MULTIPLE (4-5) SPOTS ON MY COX ROUTER!!!
    SO ... I STILL CONTINUE TO GET "DIAGNOSE CONNECTION PROBLEM ERRORS"!!!
    HOW DO I SEE THAT THE CONNECTION IS HARDWIRED, AND WILL NOT FAIL EVER AGAIN!!!
    THANKS,
    ALLEN GUIDRY

    Don't shout...
    Anyway,
    Setup your wireless network like this
    Router:
    SSID: MYLAN
    WPA/PSK: password
    Connect PC to Wireless network using above credentals or plug it into the wired LAN
    Connect HP Printer to wireless network
    Uninstall whatever HP software you installed
    Download new HP drivers/application from support.hp.com enter your model number in the search box to get the driver specific for your printer
    Run the program you downloaded from HP and follow the instructions exactlly
    Somewhere in the installer it will ask you if your printer is USB or Network (wired/wireless) select network.
    hit next a lot of times, and with any luck it should work. If not, call a local computer repair company.

  • Two years trying to get Toshiba Laptop Wireless Connection to work

    I've been trying for the last two years to try and get the wireless connection on my Toshiba Laptop to work without much sucess. I did for a short time manage to establish an ad-hoc wireless connection from the Laptop to a Desktop and share the internet connection that way but then that stopped working.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-15L model no PSU45E-00J005EN. It's the one with the 12.1" screen and running Windows XP Pro sp3.
    My Wireless switch on the front of the laptop is turned on. It is also enabled in the software FN F5 Wireless enabled, bluetooth disabled. I don't have Intel ProSet.
    Previously when I managed to establish an ad-hoc connection that was using microsofts software. I had to manually enable the Wireless Zero Configuation (WZC) each time though as it always started disabled or stopped even if I set it to start automatically. It was a monumental PITA.
    When I try and connect to the home ADSL Wireless Router (Belkin N150) using the Toshiba software I get the error message "another vendor's application is controlling the wireless adaptor".
    I get this all the time even if I have disabled Microsofts Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC).
    I was thinking Windows was still somehow controlling this even though I have disabled WZC so having read solutions in other posts I have tried going to...
    contol panel -> network connections -> wireless connection -> properties -> wireless networks tab -> uncheck "Use Windows to configure...".
    But unfortunately there is no "wireless networks tab" in there, all I have is the other two tabs. And since trying to use Toshibas software to establish the wireless connection using their Radar thing, now when I click into the wireless network connection it has the message "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to configure this wireless connection, use that software."
    Can anyone on the forum or at Toshiba help please?
    Thanks,
    John

    Two years? Sorry but I cannot believe it.
    If everything is Ok and I mean if there is no hardware problem you dont need longer than two minutes for WLAN configuration.
    At first you must be sure the WLAN card is installed properly (device manager).
    WLAN card must also be enabled properly (switch > check FN+F8 > check ConfigFree tool).
    When he WLAN card is enabled properly (check status in ConfigFree) scan the area using option RADAR in ConfigFree.
    Can you find this option?
    Can you scan the area?
    Is some WLAN visible for your notebook?

  • HP1102w wireless connection setup not working

    Followed, re-followed and re-installed the drivers from the website.  Turned off firewalls.  All other wireless devices in the household work EXCEPT this one.   Blue light flashes for awhile, then shuts off.  Note: Wired connection via usb works, just not wireless.  This is for SAMSUNG laptop model NP47...series

    Hi @d78d ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues setting up the printer over the wireless network. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    Reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
    Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
    Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IPv4 address are cleared.
    Printing a Configuration Page.
    Power cycle the router, turn the printer off and the computer. Then once the router is back up again, turn the computer on and then the printer.
    Make sure the computer is connected to the proper network and check your network encryption.
    How to Find the WEP or WPA Key or Password for Your Wireless Network.
    Here are some settings to check on the router:
    If it is set to 5 GHZ network, you may need to change to 2.4 GHZ for the printer to work. (rename the 5ghz or shut it off)
    The WPA key setting needs to be on AES to work correctly not TKIP.
    If you use Mac address on the router, you will have to add the printer.
    Make sure there are no spaces or special characters being used for the network name, the printer may not recognize it.
    Connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer.
    Now to configure the wireless, access the HP Software, select the P1102w, then select Wireless Configuration.
    (To launch your applications, go to the Start Screen by pointing your mouse pointer to the left hand corner of the Windows 8 screen and click it) Run through the steps to configure the wireless.
    Then disconnect the USB cable.
    Test the printer.
    If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Loss of laptop wireless connection when wired desktop connects

    I haven't had this problem when i first bought the router but recently if my desktop is connected by a wired connection I am either unable to connect wirelessly via laptop, or if I am already connected, will be disconnected. Can anyone help please??? Thank you

    Are you using any fixed LAN IP addresses on your network?  If so, list all the fixed LAN IP addresses that you use.  Also, if you are not using the default DHCP server range of 192.168.1.100  thru  192.168.1.149 , then please state your DHCP server range.

  • Laptop wireless connection

    I recently had BTinfinity installed......and after the usual speed setting problems its settled down somewhat, apart from dropping the connection at random intervals!!!
    I have 3 computers one is a brand new Dell desktop which works no problem and blistering fast with the btinfinity hub....the other 2 are laptops and no matter what I do the connection through these is like an old dial up system?     Ive changed the wireless channels to auto and it makes no difference whatsoever.....the laptops are virtually useless with this hub.....anywhere else and at different locations they are fine..
    Its driving me nuts and the helpdesk people are worse than useless........I'm seriously thinking of going back to my old bt installation.
    Can anyone help before I cry!!!!
    Cheers
    Charlie

    try downloading inssider2 and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. Then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.
    you could also try chaqnging from b/g/n to just b/g as this often helps

  • Weird Laptop Wireless Connection Problem

    I have an HP DV6 6C16NR i7-2670QM laptop and am having a very annoying wireless internet connection problem.
    I'll connect fine to my home network, but if I restart and try to connect again, it won't. The only way to fix it, is if I change the channel on my router. And then it'll repeat itself. 
    Any idea what's going on here? Must be some sort of proxy/memory type problem?
    Using Netgear WNDR3700 with only 2.4ghz enabled. Lots of other wireless devices in our home connects without any issues at all. ie. cellphones (4), wireless alarm clock, IP cams (2) and a netbook.
    Is this a hardware issue that I should warranty?

    Hello ThaiM69,
    I'm not sure if you have Windows 7 or 8.  Please take a look at this page and let me know if the troubleshooting steps help to resolve your connection issue.
    Good luck!

  • ISE 1.3 laptop wireless connection issue & apple devices

    hi all,
    i am configuring ISE 1.3 with wireless lan controller 2504 with 7.4.121 version.
    i am using EAP-tls method of authentication . my certificate server everything working fine. i have one issue which is that i am trying to connect from my laptop i am getting the following error
    "The server "ISE.example.local" presented a valid certificate issued by "DC-CA", but "DC-CA" is not configured as a valid trust anchor for this profile. Further, the server "ISE.example.local" is not configured as a valid NPS server to connect to for this profile"
    but still i am able to connect and my profiling is working fine, but other laptops when i try to connect i am not getting any this kind of error . it directly says connection cannot connect.
    is this problem of certificate on the ISE or the laptop issue , the laptops are not in domain.
    even in the apple devices also when we put AD authentication it is accepting after that when we open the browser it is not going to the guest portal it saying some apple captiva portal some thing like that.
    please let me know anybody faced this issue?? what is the cause and solution.

    Dear, Freerk.
    Thank you for your information.
    I'd like to try captive bypass function then look at the traffic flow to understand very well, however, it looks like required reboot the controller.
    ours is not able to do rebooting process so that, only the choice will be I must search testing result by my self... if you have a result from your lab, could you share with me?
    Result message after enable captive bypassing configuration.
    (Cisco Controller) config>network web-auth captive-bypass enable 
    Web-auth support for Captive-Bypass will be enabled.
                                                        You must reset system for this setting to take effect.

  • Help with wireless connection

    Hi all,
    I bought a Power Mac G4 AGP graphics in a yard sale for my kids. It works great but I don't know how to connect it to the internet. It has a 400Mhz processor and 896 SDRAM. The operating system is OSX 10.4.11.
    I have another computer (PC Sony) on the second floor with a Linksys 2.4 Ghz router for a wireless network at home. I use a laptop and Ipod touch with this network and it works well.
    The question is: What type of card or device I need to buy to connect it to my home wireless network. I have been reading about "Air Ports" but its pretty confusing and I don't want to buy the wrong thing. Also, since it's an old computer, I don't know if the configuration will affect the speed of navigation (I have a Verizon DSL line at home).
    Thanks for any advise.

    Hi Felipe and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    Well what japanamac and motsteve are talking about are PCI adapters for the faster 802.11g Airport Extreme cards.
    This is the more conventional solution:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/M7600LLE/
    If you open up your G4 with the door facing you it mounts the bracket you see in the upper left front. Like most of these it goes in upside down, thru the bracket and plugs into the socket you see there. The antenna is usually stored in that area also.
    Here's the Apple site:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58536
    That adapter in #5 is for a G3 iMac and doesn't have anything to do with that we're about here.

  • Help with wireless connection between 2 macs.

    I have an iMac and BookPro, both intel. They are both connected wirelessly to a 1TB Time Capsule.
    I want to transfer files between the 2 computers so I have done the following steps:
    1. Enabled file sharing on both computers.
    2. Checked the AFP box option on both computers.
    3. Made sure that users can Read/Write on both computers.
    Now, I can see the icons for both computers in the sidebars, but only my BookPro allows me to actually connect to my iMac when I click the iMac icon in the sidebar.
    When I click the BookPro icon in the iMac sidebar,the connection fails.
    What am i doing wrong?
    I have already tried deleting the com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist file, and rebooting.

    The there is no password needed when clicking the sidebar icon. It connects as a regular user.
    However, when pressing the "connect as" button, it never asks for a password. The connection fails.

  • Can I set 1 laptop wireless connect with static IP to WRT610N?

    I have a WRT610N with 3 PCs wired and various wireless devices accessing.  1 of the wireless devices, running Windows 7, needs to run a static IP.  Do/Can I set this up in the router or do I need to do in the PC?

    You can use DHCP reservation in the router to assign a fixed IP address to the PC.
    Or you can set the static IP address on the PC directly.

  • Wireless connection quit! Help please.

    I am currently running the following on my wrt300n
    Cable internet shared between:
    PS2 - wired
    XBox - Wired
    XBox 360 - Wired
    Playstation 3 - Wireless
    Playstation Portable - Wireless
    Two Windows XP PCs - Wireless
    Windows Server laptop - Wireless
    The setup has worked wonderfully for about six months or so and yesterday I lost the wireless. The wired works fine, I have just lost the wireless capability.
    The wrt300n lights are all green, even the wireless light is on. I have re-booted the modem, and the router, both individually and together at the same time. I have also gone into the router via a wired system and all of the connections seem fine, I turned off the wireless and turned it back on with no luck.
    It worked fine 2 days ago and I left overnight (turning all the systems off) and came back with no wireless signal.
    Is there a history of the wrt300n wireless just dying like that and what could cause something like this?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I have been running a WRT300N for several months w/o problems in a heavilly used wi-fi cafe'. If you haven't changed anything, that doesn't mean someone else didn't. You may want to reset using the pushbutton on the back to factory defaults(hold-in for about 15sec). If it's going to work at all it should after that. Always shut everything on the network down for a couple minutes, then power up at the cable modem working toward the PCs, pause for a couple minutes at each device or until completely booted up.

  • WRT54GS wireless connection drops on laptop when wired desktop is turned on.

    I've had this router for a few years now and have never had a problem.  But recently my laptop wireless connection dies when my desktop, which is connection via ethernet is turned on.  In trying to fix the problem, I've upgraded the firmware, but that didn't end up working.  I recently upgraded to vista from xp on the desktop computer, so I don't know if this is what started the problem.  I don't recall if this problem started before I upgraded. 
    I don't know what sort of additional information you guys would need to help diagnose the problem, so just let me know and I'll get that info for you.
    Thanks,
    Kurt

    Check under Local Area Conneciton in Desktop that if there is any other connection except Local Area Connection is present ... if so then delete or disable that ...
    Also check that if there is any USB connection from Modem to the Computer ....
