HT3986 No wireless network on Windows 7 Bootcamp Install

Just did a Windows 7 Professional Bootcamp install on my brand new MacBook Pro. Everything seems to be fine, except that I cannot detect our home wireless network when I try to set up a new network. The wireless network works fine when I'm in the Mac software. I wonder what I am overlooking?

Have you installed the Boot Camp drivers?
1. Press Option key on boot and choose Macintosh HD.
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant, download the Boot Camp drivers and burn them in a CD or USB disk.
3. Press Option key on boot, choose Windows volume and install the Boot Camp drivers

  • HP LaserJet M1120 MFP will not print on wireless network with Windows 8.1 operating system

    The printer worked on the wireless network with Windows 8.
    I have been advised that it does not work with windows 8.1 because a driver is required. However this is not available to download.
    It is ridiculous that by having the latest operating system I am unable to use the HP printer on the wireless network
    When will HP have the driver to download?

    Check the support site here.

  • Group Policy to disable ability to turn off wireless networking in Windows 8.1 Update

    I am wanting to disable the ability to turn off wireless networking in our Windows 8.1 Update clients using Group Policy. We are a school that runs classroom management software enabling the teachers to view what the students have on their screens.
    Students just switch off their wireless to avoid detection. I have searched the Group Policy listings and can't find anything.
    Thanks.

    Hi  GeoffAUS,
    I can’t find a direct group policy to disable the users’ ability to turn off the wireless network in Windows 8.1.
    If we just disable the display of wireless connection, we will need to additionally disable the ability that disabling the driver in device manager.
    We could try the workaround to use UAC to control the wireless connection.
    Go to Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policy->Security Options, and set the option
    User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users.
    Please make sure the computer automatically connect to Wireless.

  • Wireless Network Not Working In Bootcamp

    I have an early 2006 MacBook Pro running on Snow Leopard and I just ran Bootcamp and installed Windows Xp Pro Service Pack 2. My wireless network adaptor is an Atheros AR5006X. I've installed the drivers in Windows from the Snow Leopard disc and the hardware is recognized, and wireless networks are detected. But I can't connect to any network. I've tried going into Advanced Settings, disabled firewall, I've tried manually setting it up as a preferred network, and I've tried a few other versions of the Atheros drivers from the Internet. Nothing has worked. It always says,
    "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks, and try to connect again."
    The signal strength can even be strong and it still won't connected. I never had this problem when I first used bootcamp with the same windows xp sp2, and with the original Leopard drivers disc that you burned when configuring bootcamp.
    Please help. Thanks.

    There are a number of discussions on this topic. In my previous response, I was referring to the first thread:
    Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Not Working in Boot Camp

    I got my wireless keyboard to work in Bootcamp/XP

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6276210&#6276210
    It seems that the basic theme is that if you already installed the Leopard drivers, you will need a non-wireless (USB) keyboard to use/fix it. At this point, you will then need to go and setup the bluetooth to the wireless keyboard. My wireless mouse worked, so that was not a problem -- just the keyboard. I tried using the USB keyboard and seting up the bluetooth to the wireless keyboard, but I could not get it to recognize the bluetooth keyboard. It seems to recognize it for a brief instant, and then report and error.
    I've gotten tired of iterating over this issue, so I haven't read through all of the threads. There may be a better one out there that I've missed...

  • How good is wireless networking under Win XP & BootCamp?

    Hello,
    I'm heading off to business school in the fall and I need to run Windows XP (some of the Excel plugins for intro finance classes wont work in Mac Excel and there are some Windows specific programs we will be using). I just bought a Dell Laptop and am going to return it, as it came with a defective hardware driver - I believe its for the bluetooth, but the moronic tech support based in India can't solve the problem. I'm tired of all the blue screen crashes!
    I'm thinking of buying a MacBook Pro and running XP under BootCamp. That way I'll get to use OS X and iLife also. How well does wireless networking work in XP? Any known coonectivity issues/problems? This is very important for me; my school's entire building has a 802.11b wireless setup and I have to be able to connect under Win XP.
    On a more general note, reading these forums there seems to be a lot of problems with the MacBook Pro, i.e., heating issues being the most major. I don't know how serious these issues are. Should I go ahead and buy now or hold off on my purchase for a couple months and wait for these issues to be resolved?
    Any relevant advice would be appreciated. thanks.

    It's a good computer. Wireless works like a charm both in XP and OSX. There doesn't seem to be a WEP key index setting in OSX though.
    There are obviously a lot of unacceptable quality flaws with the current MBPs. The only problems I've had are the notorious hi-frequency whine and a keyboard with tipping keys which is going in for repair.
    If you get one without any flaws, in my opinion, the only question mark in deciding to get one or not is if you can live with starting up and closing photobooth on every OSX-boot to get rid of the whine as it doesn't seem to be fixed in the near future. If you can - get one.
    Good luck.

  • Setting up a wireless network with windows XP PC

    I may be getting a mac computer later this year & would like to know how to set up a wireless network between the mac & a windows XP PC. The PC has a DSL modem attached to it with a yellow line going from modem to PC & another Grey line going from the modem to the back of a phone in our kitchen. Our house is fairly big, it is one story but the rooms are sprawled out with a lot of clutter. I would like to have reliable internet access on my mac, & if it is a macbook pro I would like to be able to get to the internet throughout the house. The most important thing is stable reliable internet access as I am taking online classes. I would probably take the macbook pro into a bedroom or other adjacent room. The bedroom is further away, through 2 or 3 walls. The Adjacent rooms is one wall way.
    I know this seems very basic, but I need a lot of help with this as I have never used a mac before (have been a windows user) & have never used more than just the one PC in the house, let alone a wireless network.
    my mother along with I are both taking online classes, so sometimes there is competition for the the 1 computer & with my graphic design degree a mac has been recommended to me. So we are finding it would be easier to have more than one computer in the house so we can access our classes anytime.
    So anyone, can this be done without breaking the bank?

    I'm guessing that Modem was provided by your Internet Service Provider ?
    They are the best people to talk to about upgrading that Modem to a Wireless one.
    Usually if you're running a modem and phone from the same DSL line there's a small splitter box that plugs into the phone socket and then one wire connects your modem and another your phone. Picture below - if you do have one of these then post back and we can give better advice on a wireless modem to replace your current one.

  • No wireless network on Windows 7 boot camp!

    Hey fellow Mac users!
    I'm having a problem that has been bothering me for the last two days... Once I partitioned my hard drive, and installed Windows 7 on one part, there's no wireless internet connection. I did insert my Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD once I was in Windows 7 and installed the boot camp thing, which installed all of the drivers. Yet, if I unplug the ethernet cabel (which Windows 7 Troubleshooter told me too) there's no internet connection, and I can't connect to a wireless network, while on Windows 7 (it works great in Mac OS X).
    BUT.. I have a clue what the problem might be (or at least whats causing it). If I go into Computer->Properties->Device Manager in Windows, I see that I have a yellow warning sign on the Network Controller, under Other devices.
    But if I click the Update driver button, it says that Windows couldn't find any new driver software for this device?? Please help me .

    Mr Tech,
    I did insert my Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD once I was in Windows 7 and installed the boot camp thing, which installed all of the drivers

  • Can't connect to wireless network in XP under bootcamp

    Hey there,
    I'm hoping that someone here can provide some help. I've got XP sp2 running 'fine' in Bootcamp - 10.6.3 iMac 27 i7. The only thing that I can't get working is the wireless connection. I can't for the life of me figure out how I am supposed to get XP to connect to my wireless network, and consequently no internet access.
    From what I've read I'm supposed to go to Network Connections and choose 'New Wireless Connection' but the problem I have is that I don't see 'New Wireless Connection' there anywhere. I have installed the extra drivers from my Snow Leopard disc but this problem persists.
    Have I missed something? Can anyone offer any advice on how I can get this working?
    Thanks very much in advance!

  • Connecting to Wireless Network Using Windows in Boot Camp

    Hello!
    I installed Windows on my MacBook Pro, and I know how connect to the internet using Mac OS X, but I have no idea how to connect to my AirPort network in Windows. I know it must be simple, but I just don't know what to do.
    Thank you!

    I went to Microsoft's site and looked up how to connect to a wireless network. You have to enter the wireless address or something into Internet Explorer.

  • Hints and tips for creating a wireless network with windows

    G'day All,
    I am trying to setup up a wireless network so I can share large files between my Macbook Pro and my housemates Windows XP machine.
    I have no problem actually creating the network on my Macbook Pro and his windows machine can "see" it butI'm having trouble with my housemate's machine actually logging into my network (he can see it though).
    I happy for him to dump the files (camera raw files) into my Drop box if it's the easiest solution.
    Can anyone provide me with a basic step by step guide on what settings i need to fiddle with on both machines for it to work.
    Thanks in advance.

  • OS X can't connect to wireless network. Windows can?

    A friend of mine has 64-bit WEP on his home router. I know WEP is bad, but it can't do WPA and he can't afford to buy another router. Anyway, I can't connect to it on OS X. After I type in the password, I get the error that it can't connect and I have the options OK or Try Again. Try Again never connects. I thought it was a weird hardware issue, with my wireless network card not being compatible with the router. But if I reboot into Windows, I connect just fine.
    For the record, it's a 2WIRE DSL Modem + Wireless Router (HomePortal 1000HW to be exact).
    I thought it was my OS X, because I've had weird errors ever since moving it back and forth to an external drive for Boot Camp, but he said another friend of his with a MacBook couldn't connect either.
    Does OS X have a problem with 64-bit WEP networks, or is it a problem with 2WIRE 1000HWs? What do you think?

    The dollar sign is called a "hex escape".
    Mac users choose to use Mac, and they will have their own batch of idiosyncracies.
    A novice? Your mac registration date is 5 years ago.
    A novice would do exactly as you have done. Come to the Discussions, ask a question and get the answer. Or call their ISP which provided the 2Wire.
    Or heaven forbid... Search the discussions.

  • Can't see wireless network with Windows Vista

    I have the Airport Extreme N and two PCs, one with W XP and one with W Vista. Everything works fine with the XP PC. On the Vista PC, I can connect to the network with LAN, but I can’t see the wireless network.
    The W Vista PC can identify other networks around the block, so the Broadcom 802.11g network adapter seems to work fine. The wireless runs on channel 13, which is OK for the XP PC. I have installed the latest update for the Airport Extreme.
    Any suggestions to what I can do to get the W Vista PC working on wireless?
    Best, Kasper

    Hi,
    I also have the same problem.
    My belkin wirelss router is set to channel 13, therefore my macbook cannot see this network when it search's, for the above reasons.
    However unlike the situation above I am unable to change from channel 13 as we have discovered in the past that this is the only channel that is not in use by other networks around our area. The rest gave us interferance troubles.
    I have a number of windows laptops in the house and there is a setting that you can change so the laptop will search for channel 13. I was wondering if anyone is aware of a setting on the macbook that will make the airport card search for 1 - 13 not just channels 1 - 10 as it is now.
    I thought I would add this question to this topic as it is very similar. I hope I was correct in doing so.
    Thanks,

  • Time Capsule wireless network and Windows Vista

    I am trying to set up TC on my IMAC.
    The set up went fine, but now I'm trying

    be windows with vista. Airport utility has
    been installed on windows vista. When I try
    to connect it sees the new network I set up,
    but won't connect to the internet.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    "When I try

    Are you saying that the Vista PC will connect to the wireless network, but can't get an internet connection, or it can see the wireless network, but can't connect?
    If it cannot connect to the wireless network, is there an error message displayed? If so, what does the message say?

  • Find wireless network in windows

  • S405 Wireless Networks Problem Windows 8 with SSID's

    S405 keeps refreshing and shuffling wireless networks. Most of the time it won't show our SSID. We have other thinkpad devices, other wireless tablets/consoles, non of them have this problem.
    I was also able to replicate the same issue with another router (in fact we replaced our router recently, and same issue was present before) and it is still happenning.
    Another interesting thing is, whatever our SSID is, S405 specifically hides that SSID, this is the most frustrating part. Why would it not display on the list of available networks? I changed the SSID, and it is still not finding it. I made the SSID visible thinking that was the problem, still no luck.
    Is there some sort of bug in S405 that makes it not play well with Windows 8 wireless networks?
    Are there any applications that I can use to make the extremely restricted Windows 8 networks screen a little more Diagnose-Friendly?
    PS: The SSID will show up once in a while allowing us to connect, or sometimes it won't show but will connect magically, this happens after we turn wireless on/off, reboot laptop, or try other various ways to get it to connect.
    Thanks in advance!
