Hp wireless tv connect - rarely links to a Win 8 laptop

I have no trouble connecting my Win 7 laptop or Android tablet to an HDTV using the HP Wireless Connect device.
Connection occurs very quickly.
But I have great trouble trying to get my Win 8.1 laptop to Link to the TV. It just keeps saying that it is linking, but doesn't link. Now and then, by retarting and/or replugging, I will get aconnection but it is sporadic.
Any suggestions?

OK, having searched around a lot I found a HUGE number of users who can't make this thing work with their Windows 8.1 computers. Often they (like me) reported no problem with Win 7 or Win 8.0 or even Android but as soon as they switched to Windows 8.1, BINGO.
A few users reported success with somewhat questionable solutions (eg. disable the device, then enable it, etc.) and there were many attempts to update INTEL drivers but for many, like me, the newest drivers were not compatible with their computers and we had to stick with driver versions that our PC OEM manufacturers have available on their websites.
But there was no clear SOLVED solution that works for most users folks. I also can't recall any user who said that they had no problem whatsover connecting from a Windows 8.1 system.
Interestingly, I then checked out forums for the NETGEAR "push2TV" PTV3000 alternative product that relies on Widi. Again, lots of users ran into the same no-connection problems as soon as they switched to Windows 8.1 systems. Since the technology in the HP and NETGEARR products are similar in nature, I have assume that all of us are suffering from drivers for our GPUs that just aren't yet working right with Windows 8.1 and that we probably have no choice but to wait until updated drivers are released.

HP wireless TV connect no longer working after Win 8.1 "upgrade"

Help, my transmitter will not link to the box now that I have upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows8.1.
When first plugged in, the Trans light blinks 5 times fast, then no lights. The receiver continually blinks slower and when the trans button is held, the lights both blink at the same speed, but will not link.
I removed and tried to "add new video source" but the "Please activate registration on transmitter unit" pops up and when attempting to push button, the two won't sync...
I looked for the HP trans in the devices but could not find it. I check the HDMI card (disabled and enabled) to no avail...
Are there firmware patches for this device. I need help ASAP as I need this functionality for work, but I had to have the upgrade for work as well...
I am getting a "tone" when the receiver fails from the laptop speakers

PROBLEM SOLVED ON ENVY 17 INTEL QUAD: Using Windows 8.1 with HP Wireless TV connect NOT linking issues. I had the total 8.1 installed 4/12/2014 and even at this late a date, not all the wireless drivers were updated to their latest rev. HP Support has a set of Intel driver updates and downloades; just select the ones you need, save and update. With the update to all the associated applications, I believe there were 3 of them for my computer, I am now working well. I am under warranty with my unit so I was fortunate to have, Likshima, a second level supervisor at HP who took the time to research this problem and find the solution, personally correct my issues! Hope this helps because to my comprehension, an update is by far the safest solution!!!

Can't connect wirelessly to a d-link wbr-2310 router

I'm having trouble getting a friend's Core Duo Macbook hooked up wirelessly to her d-link wbr-2310 router when I try to enable WPA security.
When I type in the ip address and go to the admin page of the router and select no security for the wireless network it works just fine, and her computer is able to get on the internet, but when I set up WPA, the wireless network is still seen, but I get an error message when I actually try to connect to it.
It would seem to me that there's an issue with the computer itself, rather than the router . . but I don't know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah,
I've tried it with WEP, WPA Personal, and WPA2. It seems that for whatever reason, if a password is involved with logging onto the network, there's an error message.

Trouble connecting HP Photosmart D110 wireless printer to D-Link router

We just installed our new all in one modem/wireless router that we received from Verizon yesterday. The computers connected fine but our HP Photosmart D110 wireless printer will not connect. We tried many different things. It connects fine when using the new D-Link with our old wireless router connected. It will also connect to the modem if there is no security encryption. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thank you!

Can't get a wireless internet connection with a F@st 3464 modem

I'm having trouble getting access to the internet with my ArchLinux laptop and a F@st 3464 router via wireless (WEP). On the other hand, a winxp laptop and the n900 running maemo 5 have no problem to problem to get an internet connection.
My ArchLinux laptop is configured to connect to my home wireless network:

### END /etc/rc.conf ###
This works fine.
But now in this other place, there's a F@st 3464 modem/router which is giving me headaches:

Any suggestions? (I guess that this must be something stupid, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to have a feeling of what's wrong).

Try a complete power cycle, maybe the devices will refresh and 'find' each other
Power down the PC first then the router and then the modem - wait a minute or so -- then power them back up in reverse order waiting for the correct lights to come in each device before moving on to power up the next device
I would think this should get you connected again since you had a good connection up to yesterday
If not check back -- something may have been corrupted and there are other procedures to try if so - myself or some one else will be glad to assist

Photosmart D110a Wireless Troubleshooting with D-Link DIR-655 and Mac OSX 10.8

Good evening all,
Apologizes if this has already been posted. I've googled this issue a couple of times, but I still haven't found a solution for this problem.
I have the Photosmart D110a and I'm running Mac OSX Mountain Lion, and my router is a D-Link DIR-655 and my security is WPA-Personal and the router is running in 802.11gn mode. My ISP is Optimum Online.
The issue that I've been having is that the printer works wireless when everything has been recently booted up. As does the scanner. However, if it hasnt been used for a while, the printer shows up in the OSX Print & Scan settings page as idle, but when I try to print, the dialog just says "looking for printer" and never finds it, and just says "The printer is not connected" under the item in the OSX Print Queue. Because of this, I have to restart the computer or restart the printer for them to find each other again.
I've seen other solutions on here, such as giving the printer a static IP address, and this hasn't worked either. The printer is still accessible with the static IP address, which means it's still got a connection to my network, but for some reason the OS isn't recognizing it or something.
It's obvious that the printer works when everything is freshly rebooted, but I still haven't been able to figure out this issue once it's been idle for a while.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi,
Try following my post below, I believe it might be relevant as the router drops the Bonjour connection:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/losing-connection-to-airprint-a-few-min...
I would also suggest updating your router's firmware and check if that may help:

For any help with this proccess I would highly recommend contacting Dlink support.

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup
On power-up, my 2nd computer, a 3 yo IBM R51, requires that I open the Network Connections window, then set the Wireless Network Connection Properties under the Wireless Network Tab, clicking on "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings", before the automatic connection launches to the WRT150N v1.1 router signal.
I just bought the router and have the latest firmware.
My primary computer does not require the above settings change every time.
Is there a selection I can make so this is automatic on power-up or restart of my 2nd computer?

It was already set to automatic on both extended and standard tabs.
For a good measure, I set it to disable, applied, then reset it to automatic and applied again. Still does same thing.
I notice that if I double click on the small icon for the Intel ProWireless Network Card, I get a Wireless Connection Status Window.
This window has a Wireless Settings section where it seems to have a possibly obsolete "Current Location Profile" called ssnetwork (the name of my old network on my old D-Link router that I just changed out for the Linksys.
Anyway, the Network Name (SSID) field is now blank but when it first came up, it had the new name of the network I'm using.
Do you know how I access this "Current Location Profile" so I can edit it and possibly enter my new network name?
There is a button at the bottom of the screen called "Modify WLAN Settings" that I click but nothing launches when I do so.
Now that I manually did the connection setting, my network name appears in the "Current Location Profile."

Bootcamp Windows 7 Wireless Network Connection: No Valid IP Configuration

I just bought a new 13" MBP and have installed Windows 7 Ultimate via Bootcamp 5.0. I installed the Windows Support Software that I had previously downloaded via Bootcamp Assistant on Mac OS. Although the Wireless Network Connection asked for my network key and connects to the network, I cannot access the internet. The troubleshooter find this problem: "Wireless Network Connection" doesn't have valid IP configuration. I am using my old Dell computer and it is connecting to the wireless properly and my MBP can connect on Mac OS, so I don't think it's a router issue. Here are the things I have tried so far to resolve this issue, but none have worked:
Uninstalling the Broadcom Network Adapter driver, restarting the computer, and reinstalling
Repairing the Windows Support Software with the Bootcamp 5.0.5033 Support Software Update downloaded from www.apple.com
Uninstalling the Broadcom Network Adapter driver, restarting the computer, and reinstalling the driver from Bootcamp 5.0.5033

WRT54G Wireless Router connection problem

I recently connected a Linksys WRT54G to one notebook computer, with a wired connection. This computer uses the Vista Home Basic operating system. I have another computer using Windows XP Home which I connect to the Internet through this Notebook through my wireless router. However since replacing my D-Link 11 mbps router with the Linksys Router, My second computer does not locate my new connection. I suspect that it has something to do with the settings on the second computer, but can't figure out how to resolve this problem. Hopefully some of you experts out there can tell me how to deal with this.

Click on the Start button >>> go to RUN>> type in "services.msc" >>
click on OK- On the Services Local page double click on the
option "Wireless Zero configuration"- Here the Startup Type should
be "Automatic"- Click on the "Start" button and "Apply" the settings
and OK.
Deleting Preferred Network
Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network
Connections >>Here right click on the "Wireless Network Connection"
icon and select Properties- Click on the "Wireless Network" tab- Make
sure that ""Use windows to configure my wireless network settings"" is
checked- In the "Preferred Networks" box select each network name and
click on "Remove" to make it empty- Click on OK.
**Click on the "Advanced" button(below the Preferred Networks) and
make
sure "Access point(infrastructure) networks only" is selected- And
also
make sure that "Automatically connect to non-preferred networks"
should
be unchecked >> click on "Close" and click on OK on main properties
window.
Connecting to Wireless Network (WLAN)
Click on the Start button >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections-
Right click on the "Wireless Network Connection" icon and select "View
Available Wireless Networks"- If you see your wireless network in the
list, highlight it by 'single' clicking on it- Now click on
the 'Connect' button below- If your wireless network is secured, it
would ask you to provide the network key- Provide the wireless network
key and confirm it again in the confirmation box and
click "Connect" & you should be able to go Online Wirelessly!!!

Setting up a Wireless Internet Connection on Solaris 10

I am new to the whole Solaris/unix world and I was just wondering how to set up a wireless internet connection with a solaris 10 machine. I have a linksys router hooked up to a cable modem and a linksys receiver hooked up via USB on the solaris machine. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Was the router supplied by the ISP or was it bought separately? Are you able to get online when connecting the Mac directly to the router via an ethernet cable? Either way it's best to check the router settings to ensure they are correct.
I’ve not come across the Zoom routers. Setup should be straight forward though, having gone to their website and downloaded the manual. Do the following:
1. Plug one end of the RJ-11 cable (included in the box) to the router, the other end to your phone line via the micro-filter.
2. Plug one end of the ethernet cable (again included in the box) to the appropriate port in the router, the other end to your Mac.
3. Plug in the power cord and switch on
4. Fire up your web browser on your Mac (Safari, Camino, Firefox etc)
5. In the address bar of the web browser type 10.0.0.2 and hit the Return button
6. A Network Password box will appear. This is to gain access to the router itself. The defaults are, Username = admin, Password = zoomadsl
7. You’ll now enter the Basic Setup screen. It’s here where you enter the username and password supplied by your ISP. This is NOT your email username/password but your Internet access ones. If you are not sure or don't have them, call your ISP.
8. Click Save Changes and then click Write Settings to Flash and Reboot. Once the router has reset itself and the Link light comes on and remains steady, you’re online.
That’s it. Job done
If you still cannot get access it may be worth resetting the router (there should be a small button in the back which requires the use of a pen or pencil to press) re-entering your ISP information as described above and trying again.
Let me know how you get on.

I want to set up the time capsule. I have a D-Link router for WiFi to laptops. Do I connect the time caps to the D-Link or in place of it? thanks

You've posted to the iPhone forum rather than the Time Capsule forum, but to save you some time, you can either replace your D-Link with it since it is a wireless N router, or you can set it up on your LAN as an additional wifi router with its own unique SSID. If you do the latter, be sure to connect your mac to the Time Capsule rather than your D-Link so it will support your Time Machine backups.

Wireless Internet Connection Slow

Whenever I access the internet on my Mini, the speed is slower than my other wireless internet connections on my PCs. Whenever I click a link or type in a URL to go to, it takes awhile for it to connect to the site (in the status bar, it will be stuck on the "Looking up -url-" for a bit); once it is connected, it loads fairly fast.
However, using the same wireless internet network, the internet speed on my PC computers are significantly faster. Is there a way to solve this speed issue? I've gotten used to it somewhat, it would just be nicer if it was the normal, faster speed that it's supposed to be.
-My ISP is Comcast
-I use Airport Extreme to connect to the wireless network

Might be a DNS issue, like we are talking about in this other thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1619004&tstart=0
If the DNS is misconfigured, the PCs may have different timeout threshholds from the Mac, and perhaps they jump to the next DNS quicker than the Mac does.
Anytime you see lots of "looking up" messages, it's a good bet the DNSes are not configured right.

Understanding of wireless client connection to multiple APs

Hello,
I would like to know how do wireless clients connect to APs
For e.g. if in a single floor square office space - wireless network with multiple APs exists on the same SSID, how do clients decide which AP to connect to. For e.g. the client may get similar strength signals from two APs close to each other (such as Excellent). Which AP does client connect to.
Secondly, how does the load distribution take place. For e.g. if on one AP, 10 clients connect and on the other AP, 20 clients connect, how can equal load distribution be acheived, that is 15 on each AP without the tiring MAC filtering configurations.
Thirdly, is there something like number of user/connection restrictions on APs. I have gone through some AP manuals and did not find any such specifications like max. # of users = 20 etc. Currently we are using D-Link AP and have noticed that once the # of connections go upto 20, performance reduces heavily such as the latency on gateway pings go upto 1000-2000ms.
Fourthly, how can I identify from the client to which AP it is connected.
Thanks.

ANS - Its first come first serve... however.. sometimes if we have multiple SSIDs one with open auth and no encryption and other fuly protected.. then the client wil connect to the open rather the secured on.
Secondly, how does the load distribution take place. For e.g. if on one AP, 10 clients connect and on the other AP, 20 clients connect, how can equal load distribution be acheived, that is 15 on each AP without the tiring MAC filtering configurations.
ANS - MAC is a good option but apart from that.. i have seen somewhere but not able to remember the command which will limit the number of clients per radio..
Thirdly, is there something like number of user/connection restrictions on APs. I have gone through some AP manuals and did not find any such specifications like max. # of users = 20 etc. Currently we are using D-Link AP and have noticed that once the # of connections go upto 20, performance reduces heavily such as the latency on gateway pings go upto 1000-2000ms.
ANS - AP can take upto 2048 MAC addresses.. its recommended not to have more than 24 clients per AP..
Fourthly, hw can I identify from the client to which AP it is connected.
ANS -If the clients are CCX compatible and aironet extentions enabled on the AP. then the command "show dot11 ass" will tell the clients connecting to which AP.. the AP name will get displsayed in the output..
