New HP Elitedesk 800 G1 - no wireless adaptor?

I have a brand new HP EliteDesk 800 G1 small form factor PC running Windows 7 - code H5T99EA. It doesn't appear to have a wireless adaptor - certainly none shows up in the Harware Profile.
I can only connect to the Internet via ethernet cable. I get no option to connect via wireless and my wireless router is not discovered when I try (nor are any other local wireless access points.
Do I need to download a driver for the wireless adapter - presumably there is one installed?
Thanks

Trouble installing USB wireless adaptor & Network settings.

We have a 17" iMac flat panel, 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. We just upgraded the memory to 1 GB. We're running 10.4.11
Dh wants to use his iPod Touch and share the internet connection with our G4. We purchased the following USB wireless adaptor by MAXPower:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP802NU2C/
We installed the software, but cannot figure out how to set it up from there.
Never mind that for now. Dh says he sees a second computer in the near future and thinks we need a proper wireless network.
I was going to uninstall the MAXPower software and I can't figure that out either. I found the Uninstall icon, but it is asking me for a password. @@
The thing that concerns me is when I go to System Preferences---> Network, a window pops down saying "Your Network Settings Have Been Changed By Another Application". When I click OK, the window goes up, then immediately comes back down. I can't close the window, or close System Preferences without Force Quitting.
Dh is voting for bagging the MAXPower, getting an Airport Extreme Card and an Airport Extreme Base Station.
I want to fix the glitch in Network.
Ideas?

hey there chelap,
had a similar problem w/ an iMac 800 MHz G4. it was caused by me switching a USB printer to an Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g, from its port on the iMac-- iMac too old, it used 802.11 b. it changed "network settings". try d/c'ing the device & delete the software to see if this eliminates the annoying screen popping off/on.
i'm not familiar w/ this product you're trying to use but, in reading the product page it doesn't create a Wi-Fi network, it lets you use a Mac w/ out a Wi-Fi card to connect to a Wi-Fi network--this product isn't a Wi-Fi router which you need for what it sounds like you're trying to do. i agree w/ Dh about the AE card(can be found fairly lo-$$ on eBay & pretty simple to install), though this device may work once you have established a Wi-Fi network & the AEBS, even an Airport Express will work as a base station to create a Wi-Fi network. also sharing an internet connection isn't quite the same as having a local Wi-Fi network. having a local network provides more options like using the iPod Touch + the Remote app to control iTunes or Front Row(an app) should you run Mac OS X Leopard/Snow Leopard on this &/or a later model Mac(G5 or Intel) as well as stream audio/video, share other kinds of files to the 2nd Mac.
good luck.

Voyager 1055 USB Wireless adaptor problems

I have just had a new broadband installation, with a HH3. I am changing over from an old 8Mb broadband on a different line which has a Netgear router on it. I have 3 similar Compaq PCs, 3 Iphone/iPods, and a Mac, and connected my work laptop OK to the HH3.
The 3 PCs, 1 has a Netgear WG111v2 USP wireless adaptor which has connected OK to the HH3. The other 2 have BT Voyager 1055 USB adaptors, neither of which can see the HH3 but connect OK to the Netgear. The PC with the Netgear and one of the Voyagers are in the same room, about 4 feet apart, yet using inSSIDer2, I can see about a dozen wireless networks from all of mine and my neighbours connections, the PC 4 feet away can see only the Netgear and the Openzone from the HH3. I've switched off the Netgear, changed channels on both, reloaded drivers for the Voyager, and it makes no difference.
Is there an issue with the Voyager 1055 that stops it seeing some networks? I've tried everything I can think of, but my last ditch effort will be to switch the routers and put the Netgear on the new broadband. The old broadband will be ceased eventually.
Thanks

The Voyager 1055 is a bit dated now and was originally intended for use with the BT Voyager wireless routers.
There have not been any driver updates since it was first issued.
I have one, and it does not like WPA2 encryption or mixed b/g/n wireless speeds.
If you set the hub3 to use b/g only and WPA only, it should work.
I have TP-link wireless access point and I had to use those settings to allow the 1055 to connect.
In the end I stopped using the 1055 and used a TP-link TL-WN722N USB adapter, which also does wireless N and has an external detachable aerial.

Is NewerTech Wireless Adaptor known to fail on iMac G5, ISO 10.4.11?

I have a G5 iMac PPC with a Newer Tech Wireless Adaptor which is showing that my LAN is acitve (but vacilating off and on). Is there a way to test to see if the stick is faullty? At one time, last week, it was changing from my LAN to that of my neighbors. Today it just switches from on to off and back to on but FF and Safari won't connect. My other computers access the internet with no problem.

Hi a brody! I have a wireless mouse and a wired keyboard and the NT Ethernet Adaptor. I had this problem before and got it fixed then it recurred this week. I went back and found the thread where I fixed it and got it going but when I turned it on this pm it was baulky again. Is there a way to test the stick?
I think I just discovered why it was failing to maintain a connection today. I had an email that I wanted to keep and still wanted it off my mail list in my other coumputer (iMac Intel 21") I had the page on both the monitors, I deleted it on the Intel and FireFox broke the connection on the PPC but kept the page on the monitor. I restarted the page and FF reconnected sans the page in question so I guess it's all well now. There are so many things I don't know about these machines I seem to keep getting into trouble with them. Can I have mail delivered to both machines then toss it on one machine and keep it on the other?

Satellite A660 - Broadcom internal wireless adaptor is not working

Hi all,
My first post to this board - I have a new Toshiba Satellite A660 notebook - have only had it for about 4 weeks and it has turned out to be a disaster for me...
FIRST - I spend weeks getting everything on and configured the way I want it - then the hard disk starts to die...
I just got it back from the Toshiba service centre and NOW the wifi has stopped working...
The internal broadcom wireless adaptor is not working - but according to windows and the built in diagnostics it IS working...
HOWEVER - when I try to use wireless with the built in adaptor it can't detect any wireless networks...
I then plug in my backup usb netgear wireless adaptor and I can pick up and connect to both of my home wireless networks...
I am going overseas in a few weeks and need to know that my notebook is going to work/be reliable and not have any more problems - if anyone can help me with this it would be much appreciated.
John.

A further update for you all...
Okay - went back to the Toshiba service centre - the first dead hard disk was replaced by them - but the REAL problem not spotted - it looks like my laptop came out of the Toshiba factory with a faulty motherboard - this in turn has now fried the second hard drive - and now - with a new motherboard and THIRD hard drive it looks like the hardware side of things MIGHT just be solved - but NOW I still have the problem that because the motherboard has been screwed since day one (I only bought this laptop in November 2010) it has basically stuffed/corrupted all of my backups - so now the service centre is charging me 60 dollars to get a set of disks so I can re-image the system myself when I have the chance - and then spend a month putting back all the applications and configuration and data the way I had it after the first few weeks of buying it (at that stage I thought I was good to go and had the perfect new laptop and setup for work...)
So - I'm heading off overseas in a couple of weeks - my 3 year extended warranty from Australia will not be of any use to me where I am going - not covered - but am STILL hopeful that I'll get the rest of the problems sorted - still can't run the toshiba hdd protection software for more than a few days without it dying and having to be reinstalled and the toshiba pc health monitor does not work at all - when I go to install it it doesn't recognize the bios or whatever - and on top of that I'm using third party hard disk monitoring software (because the toshiba stuff doesn't work on this toshiba laptop - but the third party stuff does) - well, anyway - the third party software is telling me the hard disk has reallocated sectors count error - and there is a CAUTION showing all the time - which I guess indicates that there is now a hard drive problem with the third hard disk (?)
Anyway - if ANYONE has had a similar run of bad luck to mine with the A660/O7U - I'd really like to know...
John.

Ac 7260 wireless adaptor

I installed an Intel AC 7260 Wireless adaptor. It shows that it is installed and enabled, however it wil not connect to the network. It says that there is no wi-fi3 available. I know I have the correct dirver installed. As of now I am using a netgear WNDA3100 ld v2 to connect to the intenet. This ac 7260 is a brand new card that I would like to get connected. Please help

Hi:
I don't believe you can use an Intel wireless card on most models with AMD processors.
What happens on AMD notebooks is the same thing that his happening to you. Card and drivers install fine, no connection.
If you want to install a dual band wireless AC card, I recommend you get the Broadcom one.

Elitedesk 800 g1 maximum VGA resolution

Hi
I have a Elitedesk 800 G1.
And 3 HP LA2405x screen, capable of 1920x1200 resolution on VGA, DVI and Display port.
When I connect all 3 screens windows 7 sets them up correctly.
The 2 Display port screens does 1920x1200.
But the VGA screen only does 1920x1080.
Connecting to my "elderly" Elite8300 on VGA I get 1920x1200 resolution.
Is there anyway to get the VGA to do 1920x1200?
Or is this working as designed?
Kind Regards Jesper

Onboard VGA screen blacking out on HP EliteDesk 800 G1SFF

Product Name: HP EliteDesk 800 G1
product Number: H5U03ET#ABU
We recently purchased a few of these and have an issue where the screen blanks out and only a reseat of the VGA connector resolves the issue. This happens on the onboard VGA connection only, the display ports don't exibit this behaviour.
searched a few forums and can't see any related issues, went through the quick specs and again nothing obvious like a power setting.
we have two types of monitor and it isn't restricted to one type.

Can't boot with wireless adaptor installed

Hi all,
I've had a problem for several years with this; I'm finally getting around to dealing with it now.
I have a Pismo G3, OS X 10.4.8, and I've never been able to get the machine to recognize a wireless adaptor (both a RaLink USB one I just bought, and a D-Link DWL-650X before) if the adaptor was plugged into the laptop when it powered up. The only way to make it work is to boot the machine without the adaptor installed, then plug in the device (either the PC card or the USB device) after I'm in the finder. In fact, with the former PC card, if I didn't remove the card at startup, the OS would NEVER see the card; at least with the USB adaptor, I could pull it out and put it back in after startup and it would still work.
There's got to be a way to make this work; because I had the problem with two different cards, and two different drivers, using two different interfaces, I'm thinking it has something to do with the hardware/firmware of the Powerbook itself.
I would even be happy if someone could just give me a script that I could set to run at startup that would just cause the USB port to THINK that it got a device plugged into it (some kind of "re-scan the ports). The device itself is getting power - I can see the light on it, and the other USB devices that are plugged in at startup (like the printer) work fine.
Any suggestions?

BigBoote66,
Welcome to the Discussions.
This is not an uncommon problem with the black G3 powerbooks although I cannot say it is universal; there is just not a large enough base of complaints on these boards to say none of the WiFi cards avoids this problem. My Wallstreet refuses to boot to either 9.x or 10.x with the Buffalo 54Mbps card. Some Pismo owners have to insert the WiFi PC card during a certain phase of the boot to get the card to work. This all appears to be related to the firmware contained on the PC card.
I might suggest this: Call OWC and speak to a technician about the Sonnet Aria Extreme...ask if this particular card avoids your issues. This is a well-regarded, natively-compatible WiFi card which uses the Broadcom chipset. OWC also used to sell the Buffalo AirStation, the card I use, but recent, subtle changes in its firmware introduced the startup problem.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/G54CB/
Possibly someone will also post here with the name of a fully compatible card.

USB Wireless adaptor issues

I purchased an Asus USB-N13 wireless adaptor. I'm running a PowerPC G5, 10.5.8. I just ran Software update yesterday.
I installed the driver, that software says I'm connected to our wireless network with good strength.
I open Safari or Firefox, and those tell me "I'm not connected to the internet".
The aggravating thing is a guy from work took it home, installed it, and everything worked fine.
In Network Prefs, it sees the USB device, and all looks well.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Setup airport express as a wireless adaptor

how do i setup an airport express as a wireless adaptor to my wireless N network 1st generation wireless N part number

Please clarify exactly what you are trying to accomplish here, so we can provide the correct answer.
Do you have another Apple "n" router that is providing your wireless network at the present time?
What version of AirPort Utility will you be using to configure the AirPort Express?

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
