Home wireless connection

Hi,
Product name: HP Touchsmart
Product number : WC949AA-ABU
Model number: 300-1125uk
Operating on Windows 7
I just got wireless broadband in my flat. It works fine - my Ipad and
my housemate's laptop can pick up the signal very strongly - but my HP
TouchSmart PC cannot pick it up.
I installed the broadband using the HP, with the help of the setup CD
the broadband provider sent me. I can pick up other broadband signals
on the HP - my neighbours' signals, for example - so it's just my own
that I can't pick up! It isn't behind any thick walls or anything.
Also, I hooked up the computer to the router using a cable
and it worked fine, so there's obviously just something wrong with the wireless aerial in the HP PC.
Any suggestions of what to try?
Thanks!

Hi robertcoppin:
               Well you answered your own question but gave your self the wrong answer. If it was your computers signal then you would not be picking up your neighbors router box signal would you? So your computer is fine o.k. What I would do is go to your nieghbors house and ask them if they would be kind enough to help you set up your wirless connection with you. I know I had to set mine to sid number there are other options were listed in Control pannel , managing wireless net works. You probably have it on the wroung settings. You can call your internet provider to help you connect your computer to their router.  In order to for me to connect to our router we had to call our Internet provider so they could verify our computers as they were being connected. Check with your housemate he will be able to connect you no problem just match his settings off his lap top to your Touchsmart.

    Recently I was working on my home Network and lost myPassword for my Home wireless connection. After many attempts, I remembered thepassword and was able to get in. Now the MacBook Pro only works at home on aHard wire connection. I have an additional 9 devices on the same network, allare functioning properly. The Air connection works fine at any other Networksout side the Home connection. I did a PRAM reset, deleted the Network profileand rebuilt in System Preferences. Still unable to connect wireless on Homenetwork. Any Ideas?

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

  • This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of server

    This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. I have a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of servers and trying to reconnect this way. These methods have worked temporarily, but the same problem keeps coming back. Most of the time my personal wireless connection does not even come up among the list of available networks. My fellow flatmates have PCs and both of them are able to connect to the network without problem.
    The router is a d-link model DIR-615. I am not tech savy, so if any other information need to be provided in order to better understand my situation, please let me know.
    Please help me!

    If I open the list of networks in a window it says "connection timeout," but if I just select it from the drop down it tries for awhile and then stops with no prompt. When I try to run network diagnostics it says "sorry, we can't connect to the internet" (or some solution-free variation of that)

  • Home wireless connection instable

    Hi,
    I wonder if anybody can suggest me a valid solution:
    I have an IBM thinkpad with an Aironet PCI wireless LAN adapter.
    It worked fine with my home wireless router for months.
    Recently It started to have problems: the connection frequently stops (then after few minutes the software try to reconnect with success).
    The router is ok, as nothing has changed in its cfg and another portable works fine with wireless during stops.
    The only change I've done recently on my thinkpad was enabling a dial-in modem (but I've already disabled it now).
    The SW diagnostics says: "error code 208 - association expired".
    I've checked everytin but I can't solve it...
    Thank you
    GF
    OS: Windows XP SP2

    I'm going for the long ball here, but you said you are using the Aironet card. Is that Cisco/ Aironet or the way back when aironet?
    Anyway, please check to make sure windows wireless zero configurator is disabled.
    Start/settings/control panel/administrative tools/services/wireless zero configuaration.
    should be stopped and disabled if it is not already. This effectively kills the windows ability to find networks and manage profiles, but if you are already doing that with the PCI card then the other service must be turned off, or they will contend with each other, which usually manifests in a series of drops and reassociations as they fight for control.
    Also, you didn't mention what channel you were on, but it is possible somebody else has cranked up there own utensil nearby and it is interfering with you. Change the channels to see if the issue gets better and since you are probably already on 6, try 1 and 11 (only)!

  • Losing home wireless connection intermittently

    Every so often, I have to re-enter the key code for our home wireless router into the iPod Touch (64gb). Most of the time I don't, and the Touch works like you'd expect - immediately connecting to Safari, local weather, everything internet-wise.
    Unfortunately, for the past few weeks there have been a couple of occasions where the Touch apparently has forgotten the key code as nothing connects. In fact an entry screen pops up saying 'wrong password' or something to that effect, and asks for the password to our home router (which it specifically and correctly names). However, passwords don't work, but re-entering the key code gets it working again.
    This has been a pain as the code is about 24 alpha-numeric characters long. I have to look them up in a safekeeping spot which is a bit of a hassle.
    Does anyone know why the iPod Touch would be losing this information only on occasion?
    Thanks in advance

    To check on or change things on a router is actually done through a browser - you can use your Mac or your son's PC, doesn't matter. If you type in http://192.168.1.1 in the browser window, you will open the router control software. If you haven't set a password (which you should do) you can get into the router control software and make changes to suit your network. You will probably want to review the router documentation before you do this or view the manual online.
    Here's some router terms defined:
    SSID is your network name. You can choose to broadcast it or not. For troubleshooting I would broadcast it.
    WEP is an encryption format for wireless networking. It is dated, doesn't work well with the touch, and is best replaced with WPA2-psk.
    MAC address filtering is a security scheme that limits connections to devices you select, each of which as an unique MAC address. Leave it turned off.
    DHCP is a routine that assigns IP addresses to devices on the network. This works for wired and wireless devices.
    When you are looking down through all of this stuff, note the firmware version the router is using. Check the Linksys website for newer versions of the firmware. Do download and install them - that alone may correct your problems.
    Take your time learning some of this and let me know when you are ready for more.

  • Can't connect to home wireless, connection failed.

    After browsing these forums for a few hours and others alike I can't seem to find anyone with a similar problem to mine. Which is quite simply to connect to my home wireless router.
    The problem started after returning home from a weekend away, I chose to turn my Mac off completely whilst I was away.
    Upon booting my Mac up, it did not connect to my wireless network. I checked my iPhone to see if that was connected which it was. So as a quick thought I rebooted my router which had no effect. I checked my PS3 to see if that still connected and it does, to which I booted up bootcamp which is also connecting fine which removes hardware problems from the list.
    My Wi-Fi is on, the router is broadcasting and there is no interfering channels. All it says when I try and connect is connection failed.
    I've tried many different things such as removing the network from the known wireless network list, removed the network from keychain, rebooted my Mac several times, cleared PRAM. All to no effect.
    Am I missing something painstakingly obvious?
    Thanks
    Matt
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina (Oct 2013) running the latest Mavericks

    Please take all the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If there is a box marked Discoverable and it's checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it (not applicable to OS X 10.9 or later.)
    Step 4
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 5
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 6
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • HT1695 My iPhone 5 will not connect to my home wireless connection.  My ipad works fine.  Now the forget this network and renew lease buttons are gone.  I have several things.  Now it won't even sync to iTunes.  Do I need to go to the apple store?

    Phone will not connect to wireless.  It's been giving me no service this week too.  The apple store is 45 minutes away and I really don't want to go.  Do I need to go there?

    Have you reset the phone by holding the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up? Then if that doesnt work, you need to restore your phone in itunes first from your backup, then if still not, then fron as new.

  • Problem connecting Nokia C3 to home wireless route...

    Good day, Nokia!
    I recently bought a Nokia C3-00 WiFi phone but I can't seem to browse my home wireless connection with it. The phone can detect and connect with the wireless network successfully but when I open my mobile browser, it can't load websites, saying "Service not available."
    However, I can connect and browse the internet through other WiFi hotspots, just not my home connection. The router I'm using is LP-8616. It's an AP router, if that helps. Unfortunately, there's no firmware upgrade for this router anymore.
    I've read all the threads about this problem here and all over the internet but still nothing works for me. Hope you or somebody here could help me to finally solve this problem. More Power!

    Allsolution from another post, see /t5/Cseries/C3-wifi-problem-connect-to-wlan-but-internet-not-work/m-p/950115#M14517. Found out how to solve the problem of connecting via WLAN in the following way (the phone was able to connect to the Internet only through the GSM provider network):
    Step 1: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal Settings> Add> Web or Streaming or any other (Just add, needs no other settings)
    Step 2: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Default config. settings (choose MyWeb, Personal Settings or the name created at step 1)
    Step 3: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal settings (delete the field created in step 1) then go to Menu> Settings> Configuration> Preferred access point (choose one of the available options)
    Now you can open your browser and try to connect. It should ask what method you choose (WLAN or Access Point Preferred)
    If your phone does not want to be connected via the GSM provider network, the user can manually enter settings for defining an Access Point (Step 4)
    Step 4: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal Settings> Add> Access Point (check with GSM provider for account settings)
    Step 5: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Preferred access point (select the field you created earlier)
    I know that what I wrote above may seem like science fiction for a user who is not accustomed to butoneasca phone and non-stop, but I assure you that the operation should take no longer than 5 minutes.

  • T41 dropping wireless connection

    I've had nothing but trouble with my T41 wireless connection.The model number is 2374-3HU.
    With Windows XP installed, my home wireless connection (which has excellent strength) would drop intermittently. The network would not be found and I would pull my hair out over this. I wiped out XP and installed Windows 7, hoping the problem would go away. No such luck.
    The first time I set it up, the network was found and ever since then it comes and goes but I am never able to connect to it. I have a Toshiba connected to the same network and have never had a problem with it.
    Are there any firmware updates that can be applied to resolve this very frustrating problem?

    Hi itmanager8815,
    Unless i'm wrong your computer got the Intel 2100 3B wireless adapter?
    If that's the case i would only recommend to replace the mini PCI wireless adapter since i had some really bad experience with those adapters as well as some other old Intel wireless adapter in the past.
    I would say that the 2100 3B mini PCI adapter is basically useless. At the time when i had a Thinkpad T40, T41, T42 and T43 i replaced the Intel wireless mini PCI adapter with the Thinkpad Wireless (Atheros) and it worked a lot better. I also had a lot of disconnect issues with the 2100 3B and 2200bg. The newer Intel wireless adapter like 5300 and 6200 i find to work great though.
    I don't know any solution to fix the problem with the 2100 3B since i tried in the past without success.

  • Wireless connection MacBook Air to HP4500

    I have a MacBook Air running Mavricks and an HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z.  All worked well together.  We changed our COMCAST wireless home router.  We can no longer wirelessly connect to the HP4500.  A USB connetion still worked to the HP.  All other home wireless connections work fine.  We did change the router name, etc within the Mac.
    I've uninstalled the HP driver and can not reinstall it, so now even the USB connection does not work.

    Hi garymkunz,
    I understand you have an Officejet 4500 that is no longer working wireless or USB with your Mac running 10.9. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening, but I will do my best to assist you.
    It sounds like maybe the printer needs to have the wireless reset and then try to connect again. To reset the wireless you should be able to press Setup, go to Wireless Menu (using the left/right arrows on either side of the OK), press OK and then look for Reset Wireless (may say Restore Network Defaults). Once that is done, please go back into the Wireless Menu and select the Wireless Setup Wizard and see if you can connect it to your network again.
    If the printer connects successfully, you should then be able to install the printer on your 10.9 system via the Apple Updates.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • When I'm in Windows 7, I have wireless connection problems.

    So I have an interesting problem. When I'm in Windows, I'll be online and it'll be working fine, but then the connection will have a problem. It'll still have the bars showing a connection, but it'll say that there's no internet access. If I run troubleshooting, it fixes the problem and states that the issue was "Wirelss Network Connection does not have a valid IP configuration". After this, the problem doesn't come up again until I shut down the computer. After that, the problem happens again the next time I'm on.
    It only happens on the Windows side of the computer, and it only seems to happen with my home wireless connection. I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the drivers or something?
    Can someone help me out?
    Here's my mac model:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP583

    My Mac also does this when I'm running Windows 7 via Bootcamp. It did not do this when I was running the Windows 7 beta version. Clearly it is a Windows setting, or Windows has changed the meaning of its lid-close options.
    Mine is set to "Sleep" as the lid close action in power options. So either "Sleep" is now forcing a restart, or it was set to something other than sleep (Hibernate?) before.
    Also, most bizarrely to me, how long my computer is sleeping seems to affect whether it restarts. If I just close it and open it again, it works fine. If I close it and go to work, when I get back, it will go through the bootcamp restart.
    If anyone knows, I'd love to hear it.

  • Z10 Wireless Connection Question

    One minor quirk that I have noticed with my z10 over the last few months -- when I have both Wifi and cell radio connections on at home wireless connections sometimes seem to struggle (especially apps like Facebook, Twitter, PGA Tour).  If I turn off WiFi then response is very good -- I'm on Rogers LTE: is it possible WiFi and LTE somehow conflict sporadically?  Our iPhone doesn't seem to have this problem but it's a non LTE iPhone 4s.
    Just installed the latest OS patch but no change to this one
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'd recommend:
    Delete the saved WiFi profile on your Z10 (Settinggs > Network Connections > WiFi > find your connection and open it and choose the trashcan below to delete it.
    Restart the Z10 (hold the top edge power button down a few seconds > restart at bottom right)
    Then setup your same WiFi connection again.

  • New Airport Express - interfering with home wireless network?

    I have an IMac and laptop PC both connected to a wireless home network. I plugged in the new Airport Express, and ran a Toslink cable to my home stereo. My intent is to stream music from the IMac.
    When I plug in the AExp I get a flashing amber, then the green light, then flashing amber. I asked the AExp to "join" my network. Soon after the first green light the home wireless connection is unavailable to both my IMac and PC laptop. If I unplug the AExp then the laptop PC reconnects to the network. With the AExp unplugged I also must have "Turn On AirPort" on the IMac to have the internet status as "connected".
    Basic problem: when I plug in the AExp both home computers disconnect from the home wireless network.
    Any suggestions to getting the AExp to work within the home wireless network?

    First, perform a "factory default" reset on the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration.
    Then take a look at the following steps to be sure that nothing was missed:
    AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - iTunes Setup
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    Network Name: <existing wireless network name>
    Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > Music
    Enable AirTunes (checked)
    iTunes Speaker Name: <enter the desired speaker name>
    iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    Verify Password: (optional)
    Click Update to write the new settings ot the AX

  • I have a wireless home phone connect device. Can call out on it when dial tone present, but most times cannot receive calls since purchase. Anyone else having a  problem with their home connect device?

    Have had Wireless Home Phone connect device refreshed and updated three times since I purchased it in September 2014. Last tech I worked with on it initialized an NRB to check the network. I checked the location of the tower, which is less than one mile up the hill with clear line of site. The device always has two antennas on it. The device is great when it does work, but most of the time it rings three times and then jumps to an automated message saying the person I am calling is not available. I've actually gone up there several times to try an fix the device, but always end up calling a Verizon tech who has me unplug it, pull the battery, and they do some network stuff and then we turn it back on and it works. After the last time on 10/02/14, I called it and got the message. I drove up there, 100 miles one way, and called it while standing in the room. Got the same message. I picked up the phone, heard a dial tone and dialed my phone and it range through. I hung that phone connected to the device and call it using my cell phone. It rang through. I went home and tried to call it the next day. Again it did not ring through and I got the message after three rings. I call another phone at the facility and had them call me on my mom's phone and it is fixed it again. The fix last for a day or two and then it's broken again, like it is today. If it's a network problem then it must be fairly close to the area because no matter what we do it fails again. So much for the 99.98% reliable. This thing is a piece of junk!
    I purchased this device and put it on my plan so that my mother who we placed in a home at 96 years old would have a phone connection that she could use and wouldn't flip her out. My family and her family has not been able to faithfully connect with her at this critical time in her life. I am giving Verizon 10 more days to figure this out and then I am going to ask for a total refund not to mention how much time and travel I have put into this piece of junk. Either the home connect transceiver is broken or the network is broken. Why should I pay close to $70 for a service that has not worked more than several days out of 35 days? Also I have spent close to three hours on the phone with decent technical people, but it's my time. I should send Verizon a bill for every time I have gone up there to fix this device as well.
    What perplexes me is that a regular cell phone would have sufficed, but because Verizon has to have a data connection that is not available on a regular phone and it was going to cost me $30/month, I decided to go with the home connect. Seemed like a nice solution for an older person who would have a hard time using a cell phone and keeping it charged. Plus after all the fees for getting it connected, it only cost $20/month. That would be a pretty good thing, IF IT WORKED....... The other thing that irks me is, why do I have to pay for a data connection when the cell phone Verizon originally provided can't even access the network. What ever happened to adding a phone line for $10 bucks\ month? All I wanted was a simple phone. She would not be able to use anything more complex and all she needs is a phone line period.
    I have no problem paying for something that works and does what it should, but this is ridiculousness. The MTF on this device is somewhere around 1 to 2 days. Out of 365 days that's about a 96.5% failure rate....... Want my advice? Get ride of this device. It sucks and it's bad marketing.

        jsavage9621,
    It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect.  This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.  It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here.  I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you.  I look forward to speaking with you.
