K3011 windows 8.1 upgrade fixed Wifi problem

I just upgraded my K3011W from Windows 8 to Win 8.1 after I suffered under major Wifi problems. Poor connectivity or lost signal.  I did an inplace upgrade to Win 8.1 Pro but at first the Wifi problem remained -no connectivity at all.
Then I found the broadcom driver package  sp58848.exe at the HP website
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=de&lc=de&dlc=de&tmp_geoLoc=true&software...
which finally was the breakthrough.
After windows update everything runs just fine!

I am going to have to try this.  My problem with the Broadcom at this point after Windows 8.1 is that there is no longer a "Power Management" tab in the Broadcom properties, so everytime the tablet sleeps it turns off wifi, irritating.  You almost have to run the tablet with no sleep which really kills the battery.
But it makes sense there would be a Broadcom driver for a Lenovo tablet on an HP site.  Jeesh.

  • How do i "when the ACPI mode is enabled (by default) under Windows 2000. To fix the problem, replace the gpibpci.sy​s file on your machine" Where do i go to do this?

    I keep getting an error message on the blue screen of death. Beginning dump of physical memory. To fix it a messgae board said "when the ACPI mode is enabled (by default) under Windows 2000. To fix the problem, replace the gpibpci.sys file on your machine with the one that is attached below and then reboot the machine." Where do i go to add this file?

    I will get this error randomly, once when I was opening a file on another computer on my network, once when I was logging onto to my bank website on the internet, and another when I was searching through my d drive. Nothing to difficult, I do not even have other programs running when it happens sometimes. Thanks for any help!

  • Does 2.1 fix Wifi Problems?

    I couldn't connect to my router since I updated to 2.0.2 and so have many other people. Does the 2.1 software update fix that problem? Because the update is so not worth $10 only because "Genius" is added. PLEASE anyone. Help!

    "If you’ve already upgraded to the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch, the 2.1 update is free."
    "The major update should "significantly" improve battery life, problems with droppped calls, fix a lot of bugs, and backing up to iTunes should be "dramatically" faster."

  • Fixed WiFi problem on update to 7.1.2

    I reset network settings. Then turned airport mode on.  Then clicked on WiFi settings. It found the wireless router; entered the  password, and now it works.  Let's hope it works at work, on public wifi  connection.

    I have the 7.1.2 update wifi problem too but unfortunately this did not fix it in my case

  • Does the 4.01 upgrade fix audio problems caused by OS4 on the 3GS ?

    I could no longer hear on my telephone without using the speakerphone after the OS4 upgrade. I did all the recommended fixes per Apple and nothing helped. All other audio is ok. My phone is 6 months old and was working perfectly before I did the upgrade.
    Has anyone else had that specific problem ? and if so , does the 4.01 OS fix it ?

    This is not good!
    I always used my headset for my iphone, and now I just hear some whispering from people calling. At first I thoughy my old headphones were broken and bougth some new. Now I realise that the problem is due to the upgrade to 4.01 that I did two days ago! (I did not upgrade for 4.0) This is too bad for Apple. I have always promoted Apple for beeing easy to handle, but no I really doubt it all. Upgrading my computer to Snow Leopard resulted in an unuseable printer (Lexmark Z600). Upgrading Iphone resulted in a telephone that is not possible to use like I did for the last year. What is happening? Will the bugs be fixed? Do the company representants really think we will buy new products from them after having a lot of trouble caused by upgrading? Is it possible to go back to the 3.13?

  • Latest OS X update didn't fix wifi problem. Worse now.

    I was desperately hoping this update would solve this CONSTANT "Looking for Networks" B.S. that has plagued my iMac from day one!! It seems to have made it even worse. WHY have they not addressed this issue yet? Every computer in the house, iphones, androids, ipads - all of them - find our network and stay connected without trouble, but this damned iMac is practically useless for online work.
    HELP!!!

    It probably has absolutely nothing to do with OS X. Something about your iMac's location in the home or the location of the wrieless router is causing interference. Or you could have a defective WiFi module in your iMac that is causing the trouble. Things do break you know.
    As an experiment try moving your iMac right next to the wireless router. If that solves the problem it's probably interference. If it doesn't solve the problem chances are you have a broken iMac. Maybe the internal antenna has a loose connection or the WiFi board is defective. If still under warranty Apple will fix it. If not Apple will still fix it but there will be a charge.

  • Windows 8.1 upgrade and printing problema

    I recently upgraded my to windows 8 to 8.1 now when I print to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 it intermittantly leaves text out. 
    An example I can print a school test and it might print the some questions and some answer choices or omit the question but print the answer choices or only part of a question. It isn't consistant about what doesn't print or where it prints. My husband has windows vista and has not encountered any problems, so I'm thinking it is from the windows upgrade. Any thoughts.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi jojomulherin,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I read your post and see that since upgrading to Window 8.1 the full text document isn't printing.
    I will be happy to help you.
    If you haven't already, I would uninstall and reinstall the printer software which should resolve this issue.
    Uninstalling HP Printer Drivers in Windows 8.
    HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a Drivers. Select the operating system and click next.
    Click on Driver - Product Installation Software and download the drivers. Select the Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Hope this helps.

  • Windows 8.1 on BootCamp WiFi Problem

    Hey,
    I installed Win 8.1 via BootCamp on my Macbook Pro late 2014. All is fine except WiFi .. It keeps dropping. When I run diagnostics it says "Default Gateway Not Available" and it resets the wifi adapter. And it fixed it for 15-20-30 minutes and then again the same thing. Checked drivers and they're up to date etc.
    Anyone having fixed this issues?
    Thanks

    Hey,
    thanks for the quick response ..
    1. do you mean am I using BootCamp driver for Wifi? From what I can see in Device Manager I'm using just some regular driver from MS, but I'm not sure .. can you tell me how exactly to check it?
    2. It doesn't happen on the OSX side as I can see
    Thanks

  • Fixed wifi problems with Verizon FIOS' Actiontec MI424WR router

    My FIOS router was setup for 64bit WEP with support for b and g. It had worked great for years with my iPhone, iPod touch, and other computers in my home. Then came the iPad. The iPad would lose the connection, prompt me for the password, etc. several times per day. I first tried changing to g only support. It didn't help. Then I changed to WEP 128 and all of the frustrating problems appear to have gone away.
    Hope this helps some of you love your iPad more because I was really starting to hate mine...

    I went into the router and set a static IP address for the ipad (in the low 200's dont use the 100's its for your fios cable dvr's). You will first have to shutdown the ipad (not just sleep). Then delete the ipad from the connection list in the fios router. The instructions from the fios router pdf are below. I am on 24 hrs and even with wep and no fixed channel I have had no problems.
    To define a new connection with a fixed IP address:
    1. Click New Static Connection in the DHCP Connections screen. The “DHCP Connection Settings” screen appears.
    2. Enter a host name for this connection.
    3. Enter the fixed IP address to assign to the computer.
    4. Enter the MAC address of the computer’s network card.
    5. Click the OK to save changes.
    ☞ Note: A device’s fixed IP address is actually assigned to the specific
    network card’s MAC address installed on the network computer.
    If this network card is replaced, the device’s entry in the DHCP Connections list must be updated with the new network card’s MAC address.
    To remove a host from the table, click the appropriate “Delete” icon in the Action column.

  • 10.5.4 does not fix wifi problems

    Sadly, after installing 10.5.4 I can confirm for me, the non-reconnection of wifi after sleep is still as broken as it was in 10.5.3
    Mine will still only reconnect if Bluetooth is off.
    Another Apple disappointment.

    It sounds to me you have file corruption or an improper setting in your firewall, router, or network preferences that is causing the issue. Perhaps if you gave us more details about your network connection, hardware/software/IPv6/Channel setup/MTU size/number of shared computers we could give you more details why the issue may be happening.
    Also did you make sure to follow all the steps suggested in my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
    Mind you I haven't had a chance to get to a computer to update my website for 10.5.4 links yet, but you are among the first to try it out.
