Poor wireless connection reported on Satellite L500-1DT (Win 7 - 64bit)

Hi there,
Hopefully someone might be able to help me with this problem. I brought a L500-1DT for my eldest daughter for Christmas (and birthday) but I am having problems with the connection to my wireless router. From her bedroom (about 10 meters away) she is luckly to get a reception of 3 bars (out of five) and is getting wireless drop outs. This means that MSN drops out at a critical moment...well she is only 16 so everything on MSN is critical.
At first I thought that it was the old wireles router (my wife has problems with her IBM laptop and the other kids their Acer laptop) so I got a new Belkin N (150) router. This seems to have solved the problem with the non Toshiba laptops but there are still issues with the L500-1DT. If I have the Toshiba laptop in the same room as the router I get 4 bars (out of 5) at best.
I have checked to make sure that there are no newer driver updates and checked all the settings (more than once) and I am at a loss as to what I should do now. Is the laptop faulty or have I missed something?
Regards,
The Build Master

4 of 5 is not bad mate.
It's ok...
But if you want you can check if an new BIOS is available for this notebook model...
If yes you can try to update it.
Furthermore you can try to change the WLan channel. The router and Wlan card should be set to the same channel.
In device manager -> Wlan card properties -> Advanced tab you can change some settings.

  • Satellite L500-1DT: HDD Recovery of Win 7 is stuck in endless reboot loop

    This is a detailed bug report so please bear with me.
    If you can help, or can confirm you've had the same happen to you, I'll be grateful.
    I've owned several Toshiba laptops before and I even used to work for Toshiba so rest assured I like the machine. But I've got a problem with its recovery software. I just bought a laptop, Satellite L500-1DT with Windows 7 64 bit, on behalf of a non-techie who lives elsewhere. Since I know from experience that I will occasionally have to field panic calls along the lines of "it's become too slow", "how do I get rid of the accumulated junk", "maybe it's got a virus" and so on, the first thing I checked was the automatic recovery, i.e. how to bring the HD back to "as new" state.
    So I booted into the machine, answered the questions until I got into the OS proper, and then ran the "make a recovery DVD" program. Double layer DVD verified ok. With the freshly made DVD, I swapped the supplied HD for a spare I had (much smaller: only 40 GB instead of 320) and booted the rescue DVD hoping that it would remake me a clean system on the blank drive.
    It did repartition the drive according to its scheme, with more or less half the space for Windows and the other half for Data including the recovery files. It did install the system in the Windows partition. It then rebooted into the installed Windows 7 to finalize the installation. There, trouble began: an endless loop of reboots for hours until I stopped it.
    Loop:
    * reboot
    * black screen with bright 4-colour windows logo "starting windows"
    * black screen with light blade and "setup is preparing your computer for first use"
    * blue "welcome" white screen with "please wait" and horizontal bar with green blob, saying "Finishing the installation may take several minutes. Please dont interrupt or shutdown the computer!"
    * blue screen saying it's shutting down
    Repeat the above forever.
    I have seen it reboot way over 10 times over the course of several hours. And every time it pretends it's the first time it does that. Surely that's not normal!
    I tried stopping it with ctrl-alt-del and task manager but the white screen would go on top of even the task manager, making it hard to kill any processes or even inspect what they were. I stopped it by holding down the power button until it switched off. Then when it rebooted it said if I wanted safe mode. I tried that. It went into the routine above and at some point it said it couldn't proceed with the installation if it was in safe mode. So it rebooted into regular mode and then... finished! It finally broke out of the endless loop!
    Then it asked me all the usual questions about language, registration etc, as it had done the first time I had turned it on. This seemed good. I finally got back into a newly installed OS and all seemed fine, except I later discovered that some programs that were there before were not installed.
    With bravery bordering stupidity (*) I even re-did the procedure on the supplied hard disk instead of my spare one: first I nuked the windows partition, then I did rescue from the HD (with F8), not with the DVD I had made. Result: similar rigmarole, with endless reboots.
    After I stopped it, it sort-of-worked, as above, but now some other programs were missing, notably the Toshiba DVD player.
    (*) motivated by: better try this now, with the computer here and all my tools and other computers ready at hand, than when the computer is away at its owner's home and that's the only thing left to try with me at the other end of a phone line. Been there before.
    Now, that specific one (DVD player) I could download from the support page and it installed fine; but what else might be missing or not working that I didn't notice? Clearly the restore process isn't working as it should.
    Am I the first or only one to whom this happens? Am I doing anything wrong? Is there anything else I should try?
    I need to make sure this restore procedure works flawlessly while I still have the computer in my hands. If it doesn't, there's no chance I'm going to be able to do a remote reinstall for my non-techie once I am asked to clean up the laptop over the phone a few months from now.
    Thanks in advance
    [Update: while looking for the right place where I could post this I found that other people are reporting the same problem. It's definitely a bug in the distributed recovery software for W7-64, not an isolated problem of my machine. See for example
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=49421&tstart=0 where user kwarc is describing the same symptoms with a Satellite L505.

    I am glad to report some unexpected SUCCESS!
    I left the computer at what it was doing when I wrote the previous
    post. I came back to it an hour later or so (I had stopped counting
    the reboots, though occasionally I'd hear that typical chime from the
    other room, saying it was doing one more cycle) and I noticed
    something slightly different: the white screen with "finishing the
    installation may take several minutes" had a blue blob, not a green
    blob, in the progress bar, and the blob was rectangular rather than
    rounded. Very odd! Something different had happened, like a change of
    theme. And a little while after that, the process really finished and
    I got to the white screen that asks about what language etc etc, like
    when I first turned on the new computer.
    Great!
    All I can conclude from this experience:
    Even a reinstall that works will DEFINITELY involve many reboots that
    seem to be getting nowhere. Apparently, progress is being made, even
    though it looks like the process is stuck in a loop of reboots.
    It would just be nice if it said something like "Before I finish
    restoring, I'm going to have to reboot 26 times, please hang on; now
    doing cycle 8 of 26". (Numbers are made up.) It doesn't, but just
    knowing about it is helpful.
    Perhaps worth redoing the install once more and making a note of how
    long it really takes from beginning to end when it does work.
    I still don't know if the process I described in the first post was
    really stuck because of some other error or whether it would have
    ended eventually. If I wanted to be really sure I could re-restore
    everything on that hard disk once more.
    I have no idea whether wiping all partitions from the disk before
    reinstalling did any good or not: it shouldn't have made a difference
    since, as I said, I noticed that the first thing the restore program
    did was redo all the partitions itself. On the other hand we have
    experimental proof that the restore can work on a HD without any
    partitions.
    Thanks again PauPau---the most useful thing you said, for me, was the
    data point that for you it had worked. That's what made me try again
    and leave the computer on indefinitely through the innumerable
    reboots, just in case.
    I'll repost a definitive answer on how long a successful restore
    process should take once I get round to redoing it on the supplied 320
    GB HD.

  • Satellite L500-1dt asks for product key

    Hi
    just got my new laptop Satellite L500-1dt T3000 4gb
    However its now asking me for the product key...
    Where do I find this please... as you can guess I'm new to all this tech stuff.....

    Hi
    What?
    I dont understand why the Windows is asking for serial key
    I mean the preinstalled OS has been activated already.
    Are you using the Toshiba preinstalled OS?
    Try to recover it again using the HDD recovery procedure.
    You need to press F8, then choose Repair my Computer and then choose Toshiba HDD recovery.
    Then follow the instruction on the screen.

  • Satellite L500-1DT won't start

    Hi
    My Satellite L500-1DT laptop won't start it goes into the start-up repair procedure automatically viewing the diagnostic and repair details it says it cannot determine what the problem is.
    If I select the advanced options I am asked to select a key board but then I get a message that says you must logon on to gain access to the repair functions and all I can do then is reboot.
    If I press F8 and try safe mode I just get the same repair features. I don't know what to do to proceed as all the options take me to the same place. Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    When you press F8 at start up can you see option Repair my computer?
    Have you created recovery DVD?

  • Re: Laptop sleeve for Satellite L500-1DT

    I recently bought a laptop sleeve advertised as suitable for the l500-13z assuming it would fit my l500-1dt. It is slightly too small and when I zipped it up, the zip broke. It could be that the internet shop I bought it from gave me the wrong size but either way it seems the dimensions of the l500 are slightly larger than other 15.6 laptops.
    Has anyone bought a sleeve that fits theirs? Is it perhaps worth going for 17" sleeve instead?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    In my opinion you should contact the shop where you bought the sleeve. Normally Satellite L500-13Z and L500-1DT have the same dimensions because I have checked the specification on the Toshiba website. So I assume that you did get the wrong sleeve.
    I think if you contact the shop and explain the situation you will get a new sleeve for free and I doubt that you need a sleeve for 17 notebooks because L500 is 15.6.
    Good luck! :)

  • Extremely Poor Wireless Connection with Macbook 1,1

    Hi,
    I've been trying to solve internet connection issues for a friends Macbook and I'm getting rather frustrated.
    I'm using a White Macbook 1,1 and I've found that the wireless connection on it is extremely temperamental. The connection works perfectly with the cable so it's not my internet connection, and my wireless hub works fine with all other laptops that have connected to it.
    So, the issue is the connection is extremely intermittent. It connects to my hub absolutely fine, but when surfing the connection becomes unreliable. Say you wish to go to a website then a quarter of the time it'll connect and download everything fine and quickly, the other 3/4 of the time it'll get stuck somewhere in the process. It normally gets past the DNS fine, and connects to the server and then sits there and waits for a response indefinitely.
    I have searched the web and found numerous solutions involving changing wireless channels and modes which I have tried every possible combination of. I have ensured it's not a DNS issue. I tried all combinations of any super-speed mode and extended range features on my router (including everything off of course). I have tried it on other routers and internet connections, and ensured it's using the latest firmware. I have disabled any IPv6 modes on both router and laptop. I have altered positioning of my router to be in better positions/much closer to the laptop, to the extent where there is only a few inches between laptop and hub. None of this has helped.
    There has been one tiny glimmer of hope and that was me upgrading the amount of memory in the machine from half a gig to 2 gig and a much larger hard drive and this has helped a little. Now it only fails 75% of the time instead of 99% of the time.
    Can anyone help? Is there anyone experiencing the same issues? Is there any updated driver for the AirPort out there that may work better?
    Please help, this is driving me up the wall. My router is a WGT624 v3 if that helps although I really don't think that is the issue as it happens with all connections.
    Cheers, Dan

    I had this same issue with my 1.1 MacBook about a year or so ago. I had AppleCare so it was fixed for free.
    Turned out the wireless card was causing problems. Not sure if it was a bad connection or card, but replacing it has fixed the problem.
    Good Luck.

  • Wireless connection keeps disconnecting - Satellite C650 16U

    Hi
    My wireless connection keeps disconnecting frequently and I have to manually reconnect it. I don't think it is a router issue as this doesn't happen with other laptop that is used in my house. Any ideas why this is?
    Thanks

    Hi mate
    I recommend checking the power saving settings in Win 7 power management.
    There you can change (disable) the power saving for WLan card.
    This helped in my case.
    Please also check this thread:

    As I said; power management setting is the key you should also update the WLan driver!

  • Satellite Pro L500-1D6: Win 64bit clean install - No WLan can be found

    I've been looking on the forum but no solution so far has revealed itself.
    I did a clean install of Win7 64 ultimate on my Toshiba Satellite L500-1D6 and the wireless card is being recognised in device manager but I can't find any wifi networks or start an ad-hoc.
    Its saying it's a realtek PCIe FE family thing. It's driving me maaad.
    I must have installed like 5 different drivers for it and everything, is there a definite fix?

    >The card was working, but after updating the driver from the Toshiba site, I couldn't connect to wireless anymore.
    Im asking myself why someone needs to update any drivers if everything works fine ?:|
    However, the WLan should be enabled using FN + F8!
    You can also go to device manager -> WLan card -> properties -> advanced tab
    Here you will meet different options. In my case there is an option which could enable/disable WLan too.
    Set the BIOS to default in many cases this helps and is necessary

  • Satellite L500-1DT - Selectively plays back DVD disks

    Hi,
    My DVD device all of a sudden only selectively plays back DVD disks (movies & music). I have validated the Region settings. All disks tested are compatible to this region and work on other media. The driver version: 6.1.7600.16385.
    The only software recently installed was iTunes (64bit, Windows 7 compatible) - DVD playback still worked fine after installation.
    Music CD's still work 100% as do some DVD's.
    Thanks,

    Hey Ironman69,
    > The only software recently installed was iTunes
    When such CD/DVD related software is installed, they install filters into registry, which can cause compatibility problems.
    That means you should remove the upper- and lowerfilters in Windows registry as you can read here:

    To be clear: Either HDD recovery works or not. You cannot rename something in hope it will works.
    The whole thing is Toshiba specific procedure and designed for each notebook model separately.
    If you lose this Repair my computer option in Advanced boot options (F8) you have big a problem.

  • Terribly slow wireless connection.

    hi, I have a wireless B router model BEFW11S4 ver. 4. My wireless connection says that it is usually "good" or "very good", but when browsing the web i get painfully slow speeds. When i reset the router and go into the settings and restore my network settings my connection speeds are fast again for about 10-20 minutes before it is painfully slow again. This is terribly frustrating. can anyone please help me, i would appreciate it! thanks, mike

    There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
    First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
    Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
    In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
    Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
    Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
    If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
    Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching from WEP to WPA encryption.
    If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    Hope this helps.

  • WRT150N v1.1 Wireless connection is slow

    I just recently set up a WRT150N V1.1 router up for my girlfriend. Setup was easy got everything connected just fine. Both her and her roomates laptop and the Wii all can connect with full signal strengh. The issue I am having is with the internet connection. It is brutally slow. One of the laptops is G and the other super G. Both connect at the appropriate rate. However when I run a speed test their internet connection is coming in around 200kbps. So I decided to grab an ethernet cable and hard wire it into the router. I did that ran the speed test and it resulted with 22mbps. Tested multiple times both wireless and wired on both laptops with the same result. I have an N card in my desktop that I may lug over there just to see if that makes a difference. I am just curious if there is some settings that I can play with that may have an effect. I have not checked to see if there is a firmware update available, I will do that soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
    Edmund

    It sounds like all your girlfriend's wireless devices are wireless g  -- is that correct?   If so, set the WRT150N  to "wireless g only".  Also, it sounds like your computer's software firewall might be the problem  -- temporarily turn it off and see if that corrects the problem.  Alternatively, set the computer's software firewall to "trust"  192.168.1.1
    Even though your computer shows "full signal strength", you can still be getting lots of interference from other 2.4 GHz devices.  See below for more info on how to correct this type of problem.

  • WRT54G v3.0 wireless connection problem

    Hi
    I recently upgraded my WRT54 G v3.0 wireless router firmware to 4.21.1 (previously was 4.20.7). My router wireless settings are same as before: Mixed, channel 6,  WPA personal, TKIP. DHCP server is enabled.
    If I use a LAN cable the computer acquires the IP address and connection works normally. If I use my wireless card the computer does not acquire the IP address and I can't get connection. I set the IP, subnet mask, DNS server, and gateway manually the computer connects properly and I get connection but after a few seconds (random time, max a couple minutes) the connection freezes. There is no errors the signal is strong and the indication is that it is connected but I can't even access the router (192.168.1.1). If I push repair the connection is reestablished but again just for a few secs. After a few similar actions even repair stops working, but if I connect the LAN cable everything is working!
    It is annoying. I have a wireless router but I can only properly work with cable connection.
    I tried with different computers and different wireless boards (4 different ones!) and the result is the same. Sounds likea problem with the router.
    My router is connected to a cable modem Thomson THG540.
    Can anyone help me on this?
    Thanks

    After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.  If you have not reset the router to factory defaults since your last firmware upgrade, then please do this now and see if it corrects your problem.
    If you still have a problem, then the next most likely cause is simply a poor wireless connection.  You said that the "signal is strong", but this does not rule out a poor wireless connection.  Poor connections can be caused by interference from other wireless devices, particularly those on or near channel 6 that you are using.

  • Poor Wireless signal

    I just bought a HP 20-2110d All-in-One Desktop PC. Had so much difficulty setting it up as it had a poor wireless connectivity. Always only showing 2 bars and connectivity cutting off every now and then.
    Called HP support this morning and they led me to "device manager" and reinstalling network adapter. But it still showed a poor signal after that. As my neighbour's signal was showing up, the HP help staff suggested that it was due to signal overlap. He asked me to call my service provider and ask for isp signal channel to be changed.
    My question is: why is it that other devices such as my handphones and laptops not have this problem? The signal shown is so much stronger and there have been no connectivity problems.

    You are welcome.
    Some wireless cards are not very powerful.  It would be good if you could move the router closer to the computer to see if that helps the situation.

  • BT Infinity - Wireless Connection Issues

    I have had this product for over a year now, and I have to say it is amazing that I have lasted thislong without throwing the router out of the nearest window!!
    Does anyone else experience such poor wireless connections??? i.e. up and down, up and down, up and down, all day long, any time of day, any day of the week.  It is shockingly bad!!!
    I've changed channels, I've paid for an engineer to check the connection point, even though it's exactly the same one, and in the same position that the engineer installed it.  
    I'm really at the end of my tether!
    Anyone, care to offer any advice?
    We are a family of 6, with many many gadgets, i.e. iPads, iphones, Xboxes, laptops, ipods, etc. are we being penalised for having too many wireless devices?  Can the BT Infinity product only cope with a certain amount of wireless devices?
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    If you have tried all the wireless checks/changes ie moved the HH3 off Automatic onto a clear channel.
    Inssider is a good free wireless scanner for windows, that can help identify a clear channel to move the HH3 to.

    Then you may want to consider another route. I note in Ady wrote in msg #21 and 25 HERE.

    My laptop now connects at 150Mbps and stays like it, Xbox 360 and Apple TV 2 all work flawlessly on the Wireless Network.
    What can I say - anyone having issues with the Home Hub 3, get this router, you will not be disappointed!!!"
