My Toshiba Laptop , can't find my wireless router

My toshiba Satellite L500D Laptop , after 9 months after it was bought , can't find my wireless router anymore . I had a look over the internet and have worked out the problem is connected to the wireless finder and it won't fix because the combinatio Fn + F8 is not working ??? I really need help please !!
So far i have tried Following the laptop help and troubleshooting methods (COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME) i have tried what worked for some people to do with the flash cards.....

Let me see if I can help.
The Flash cards usually do not fail once installed. For FN/F8 to work you need to have the right utility. Also you need to have working and properly enabled Wireless devices. If they are not then you will not have this option.
Is your wifi actually working. Does it see any Access Points? Can you go to Device Manager to see if the Wifi is not banged out? Not sure but you can check to see if there is a wifi switch on the computer. Look around the edge. Some machine have this switch to enable the antenna.
When you say Flash cards do not work. Is it the FN/F8 only or all cards. FN (F1-F9). If they do not work reply back and I will try to help you with the flash cards and then work on your wifi problem.
Good Luck,

My HP7280 all in one can't find my wireless router

My HP Photosmart C7280 all in one can't find my wireless router even after I enter my WEP key and ESSID. My other computer is wired into the printer and it works but not wireless. Can anyone help me?

Is the other computer wired with USB? if so that is fine. If it is wired with Ethernet, that is the source of the wireless problem.
What router? Oh, and don't use WEP, it is not in the least secure. I recommend changing your router settings to WPA, create your own password and then try to connect the printer.

My HP Photosmart C309a series printer can't find the wireless router 3 feet above it.

My HP Photosmart C309a series printer can't find the wireless router 3 feet above it. I ran the diagnostics and got "The wireless radio is not functioning" message. In what device is the wireless radio located? In the router? In the printer? I reset the router, did the #6 with the printer, but I am still unable to connect my wireless Macbook to the printer. My desktop Mac is connected to the printer with a cable and prints fine. Is my router messed up or my printer?
This question was solved.

Just call HP, they can walk you through the options based on what is wrong with your printer.

Printer can't find my wireless router

My printer was working fine until I printed something from my laptop? Since then I cannot print anything from any device. I ran a wireless network test report and a HP Network Configuration page and the error message says "Your HP Printer cannot find your wireless router. Check that your wireless router is powered on (which it is). Check that your HP printer network name (SSID) matches your wireless router name name (SSID) exactly. If they don't match exactly, run the wireless network setup to configure your HP printer.
Please help.
Thank you!

Hey @gppapi,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the network communication issue that you're experiencing when printing from your Mac OS X 10.6 computer to your HP Photosmart C4780 All-in-One Printer. Because your Wireless Network Test Report indicates that the printer cannot find the Wireless Router, I am going to have you run some standard network troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.
Step 1: Powercycle Network:
First, unplug the power cable to your Router
Once your Router is unplugged, turn off your printer
Next, shut down your computer
After 30 seconds to 1 minutes, plug your Router back in
Next, turn on your printer
Turn on the computer
After a few moments the internet connection will return. Please check on your computer and verify that you can browse to websites before continuing.
Step 2: Check Connectivity:
On the front panel of your printer select the Top button to go to the Scan Options
Press the Top Button to go to the Wireless Menu
Select Print Network Configuration
Take note of the IP Address
On your Mac, open the internet browser
In the address bar type in the printers IP Address. Do not include www.
Search to that website
If a website for you printer opens: This indicates that your printer and computer are 'talking' over the wireless network. Please try to print. If printing now works, than your router was blocking communication. This may have been caused by a router update. Usually powercycling the router resolves this issue. Should the issue return, there may be settings on the router that need to be adjusted.
If a website for your printer fails to open: This indicates that the printer and computers are not 'talking' over the network. To resolve this issue please follow the steps below.
Step 2: Restore Defaults:
On the front panel of your printer select the Top button to go to the Scan Options
Press the Top Button to go to the Wireless Menu
Select Restore Network Defaults
Once the restore is complete, please proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Reconfigure Wireless:
Connect a USB Cable from your printer to your Mac
Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer
Run the installation and when prompted choose that you want to configure wireless
Select your Network Name SSID and enter the Wireless Password (key) when/if prompted
Once the wireless is configured, please test printing again.
Please let me know if these troubleshooting steps resolve your issue. Good luck!

Apple TV can't find Xfinity wireless router

Hello,
we have a Mac Book Pro, 2 Iphone's, 2 IPad's and 2 Apple TV's. All devices are connected wireless to the router ACCEPT 1 Apple TV!! I can't figure out why it's not working. Well it was for a few weeks...after an update for the Apple TV is wasn't anymore.
General>Network>WiFi>...nothing..it show's OTHER, click on other to enter the router name manually, can't find...with Ethernet is works just fine..
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Andrea

You need a wireless base station or wired hub. My best guess is that you computer is directly connected to the internet via direct connection to your dsl or cable modem. You need to insert an apple Airport, Airport express, or wired hub. The Apple support page has a lot of info about the use and istallation of LANs (Local Area Network). Page 14 of this manual (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/ManagingAirPort_Extreme_Networksv3.4.pdf) shows the topology of a LAN network.
Best of Luck!

Can't find *some* wireless networks

Hi
Have seen vaguely similar posts but couldn't quite follow. I've used my G4 powerbook to connect to a whole range of wireless networks using Airport and have never had a problem. However I was trying to connect to a wireless network at my local pub and couldn't do it. Airport couldn't find it, when I manually entered all relevant info (including password), it still wouldn't connect. Other laptop users, including others with Apples, don't seem to have a problem and they can't get my laptop to co-operate either. It can still find other wireless networks elsewhere with no trouble. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Have the other apple users connected to the "hotspot" in the past? If so, their mac's may "remember" the settings of the network.
The network hotspot, as a security measure, may not broadcast the SSID and you may need to enter it manually, provided the hotspot "posts" it or gives it to your when you make a purchase. (I've seen a number of hot spots either post it near the register of give it to you after making a purchase to prevent users just accessing it without being a consumer of their products)
The hotspot may also encrypt the network, which they will usually provide as well.
I hope this helps!
P.S. There are several "Widgets" available for download that will identify if a network is available, but may not be broadcasting their SSID, this will help confirm that you are getting the signal, but just not the details in order to log in, one can be found here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/networking_security/airtrafficcontrol.h tml

My Windows XP AirPort util and Bonjour can't find any wireless device

I have both macbook and a PC laptop.
I just started using my TimeCapsula and all features (Internet gateway, access to the USB printer and the external harddisk) are visible and working fine when using my macbook.
My PC wireless card seems to be working fine too and I can access the Internet using the Airport gateway.
My problem is that Airport Util and Bonjour on my PC "can't find any wireless devices" (even though It is clearly working fine) and therefore don't detect/mount the external drive or the Printer.
Thanks!

How do your Extreme and Express connect to one another? Wired Ethernet between the two, or wirelessly?
Try unplugging the Express. Does that change anything?
Wireless interference could cause the symptoms you're describing. Even though you did nothing to your wireless network, the presence of other wireless networks or introduction of nearby devices will bring interference where there was none before.
AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of interference for wireless devices and networks
Try changing wireless channels; use "automatic" unless you have reason to use a specified channel. Try checking "interference robustness". Altering these settings may help, but they could make things worse.
If you are unable to configure a device over Airport, or changing a setting leaves you unable to configure it wirelessly, connect its Ethernet port to your computer's Ethernet port and Airport Utility should find it.
As a last resort, try a "hard reset" followed by re-configuring the Extreme, Express, or both. Start by removing your Express from the network. Re-configure the Extreme and see if that fixes things. If it does, add the Express to your network and re-configure it as well.
AirPort troubleshooting guide
I open airport utility ... can not locate any of my wireless devises, airport extreme base,, airport express, apple tv, wifi printer.
AirPort Utility will only detect Apple AirPort base stations (Extreme, Express, Time Capsule) for purposes of configuring them. It is not designed to detect or configure other wireless devices like your printer.

Hello Sashalechat,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue when attempting to connect to a wireless network.
Have you changed the router for a new one?
Make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Make sure that you are with in the 4'-20' range.
You can try the HP Print and Scan Doctor as well. Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.
Write me back when you have time.

Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

My macbook can't seem to find my wireless router even though it is on and being used by my iphone and my ipad

My Macbook can't seem to find my wireless router even though it is in use by my iphone and ipad. I have tried to use diagnostics and it tells me that the router is not switched on, but it is on.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help I and the problem persists I would have a technician take a look at your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

I have an Officejet 8500a Plus, but he can't find my Linksys Router

I just bought an Officejet 8500a Plus printer,
It can't find my Linksys router (WPA), all the other networks in this area are visible except our Linksys Router, with WPA security.
Tried to configure it with the software, connect the printer with USB, and tried to connect the linksys router, it say's: You're out of range of your wifi acces point(something like that)
HELP?

Here are a few tips:
1. Make sure 802.11g is present. Other wireless modes (like 802.11n) are OK, but g must be present.
2. Broadcast your SSID and do not use MAC filtering.
3. Make sure your router has the latest firmware.

Can purchasing a second wireless router allow you to have two networks?

I already have a netgear branded router connected to my modem. Can I create a seperate network within my house with one of Apple's airport stations (any one of the three, not sure which one I'm getting yet) by using the internet connection from my current router? I.e can I connect the airport base station to my current router (either wirelessly or wired) and allow it to broadcast a seperate network and share the same internet connection?

Can purchasing a second wireless router allow you to have two networks?
Yes, it can.
If you connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your Netgear router to the WAN "O" port on an Apple AirPort router, you can configure the AirPort router to create a separate wireless network using a different wireless network name and password.

Can anyone recommend a wireless router

can anyone recommend a wireless router....I just bought a Ipod Touch and have not been able to use all of the features. I currently have Windows XP Pro.....the one main computer in the house, a Xbox 360 is hooked up to a Linksys router at the moment. I'm new at this and don't know the specifications I would need for the Ipod Touch and which router works the best with it.

The iPod Touch only uses b/g wireless standards, so you can use any wireless-g router. Since Wireless-N is the next standard, you can usually get a Wireless-G at an economical price. G is an older standard and quite sturdy. Linksys would be a good choice for you since you are already using one from that company. Just swap it out with your existing router. Special note: if you do go wireless, be sure to shut off the wireless on your iPod Touch when not using it; drains the battery.
