Portege R830 - Free WiFi not working

So pleased my wife bought me a new Portege R830 for my 60th birthday.
Went to Wethersppoons to use their WiFi as I haven't got WiFi at home, and took that and my old clunker laptop.
Cannot get my R830 to work at anything over a dial up speed and then clicks off when I open new content.
My old clunker, sitting next to it works fine.
Any ideas, could it be security settings, or what as the WiFi is clearly working.
At my wits end, please give ideas before it goes through the window in frustration.
Thanks

Hi
>It will connect, but so so so slow, slower than dial up
You are using an open and public Wlan so theoretically it could be an Wlan router issue.
I would recommend checking the Wlan performance with another wireless lan in your environment.

  • Why does my free trial not work?

    Why does my free trial not work?  This is intentially misleading.

    You need to provide a better description of what isn't working, system info and all that. This could be all sorts of technical issues or your trial could simply have bombed itself. In the latter case there is nothing you can do:
    Adobe trial software expired early
    Anything else like iunstall issues can in most cases be sorted out...

  • How to fix iphone 4s wifi not working

    How to fix wifi not working on iphone 4s after it is updated to ios 7 ?
    Here is what fixed my wife's phone after several weeks of no wifi. We had removed the Sims card and transferred to another phone which was running ios 6. My son was visiting and said Apple had come out with an update a few days ago and he decided to attempt to install it on the 4s phone that had no wifi and no cellular because the sims card was removed. He tapped the icon to update the new ios version and received the message to the effect that No WiFi available would you like to search for available networks. He selected yes and immediately the wifi came on and has been working now for two days. Also we never installed the update to the new ios.
    My advice is to remove your sims card like we did or trun off your cellular and attempt the update to see if you get the message to search for available networks and then of course choose yes. Go figure. Hope this works for you.

    Hey there. You didnt state what operating system you are using but I was able to find two articles that should help resolve your issue. 
    Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 7)
    Fixing Bluetooth Issues
    These articles will go through all the basic troubleshooting steps. Let me know if this helps resolve the issue at all.
    Thanks!

  • Iphone 3G wifi not working after upgrade

    Iphone 3G wifi not working after software upgrade, no proper fix from Apple. APPLE SUPPORT - R U SLEEPING.......

    You are not talking to Apple. This is a user to user forum.
    If you're using the iPhone 3G, there will be no fix for your problem. The software you have, 4.2.1, is the end of the line for the 3G. Apple is no longer providing software updates for the 3G.

  • Network controller& USB controller driver not found and wifi not working

    hello  I Purchased HP 15-ac025TX (M9V00PA) Notebook laptop  .  i have installed all driver from HP site here is the link  http://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771404/model/8326084#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1  but still netwok controller driver not found also wifi not  working  i installed blutooth drivers too . I am using window 7 sp1 (32 bit) For network controller device ID is PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4365&SUBSYS_804A103C&REV_01 secondly  univeral serial bus driver(usb) controller   not found i installed all drivers from above link  also update windows  but still no solution hardware id of usb controller is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9CB1@SUBSYS_80C2103C&REV_03  and last i am unable to download  AMD/Intel Switchable High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver. the download link not working KINDLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE THANK YOU    

    Update: While the driver I knew would work has not shown up yet, I did some detective work and explored some other broadcom wireless card driver folders from some HP links, and I found one that should work for you. While it says it is for HP desktop PC's, they put the exact same wireless card form factor in a desktop PC that they do in a notebook PC. I see no reason why this driver would not work, since the setup information file contains the same hardware ID that you posted.  Here is a partial copy and paste of the driver setup information file and you can see the hardware ID you posted is supported by this driver.  x86 - Win7
    [BROADCOM.NTx86.6.1]
        %BCM430N_DeviceDesc% = BCM43XNG_NT61, PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4365&SUBSYS_2230103C

  • Hi, i am not able to connect to the internet. wifi not working.

    hi, i am not able to connect to the internet. wifi not working. not able to find proper drivers for 32 bit win.7 os. need urgent help..
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi:
    I can give you the link to the wifi driver, if you do the following steps to post the hardware ID for the wireless card, so I can figure out what model wireless card the notebook has...
    To find the hardware ID, go to the device manager and click on the device labeled Network Controller.
    Then click on the Details tab at the top of the Network Controller window.
    Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
    Drop down on that list and select the second item (Hardware ID's).
    Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

  • TS1398 Iphone 5 Wifi not working

    Hi Apple .
         My wifi not working ...i have already try reset network it seem the same .... sometime i only able to use for few hours after that my wifi not working anymore and sometime event i have to shut down my iphone for wifi connection . Now it become more worst sometime i unable to turn on my wifi .... pls email me for solution . I purchase my iphone from Apple Store online from malaysia but currently im working at oversea . Can i get warranty at Taiwan ?

    The iPhone warranty is not international.  Apple will only honor the warranty in the country where the iPhone was sold.
    If your WiFi connections button in Settings is greyed out, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 and if you want to Troubleshoot, and can access the router, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 those may help but you probably need to have the iPhone tested by an Apple technician.

    If you tried all that is in the support doc where you posted your query and it did not resolve the issue, it is a hardware failure. Seek an appointment at the genius bar for evaluation.

    Hi All,
    Two issues I faced, Wifi not working and Mobile Hotspot giving message 'Regulations in country doesn't allow'. Here what I did to resolve and make it work:
    - Change the Timezone to Alaska or some other country and then try the hotspot, it should work
    - Shutdown the device and start after 30 Seconds (PS restart as part of OS upgrade is not complete), suggestion is to have a clean reboot of the device after upgrade
    - Revert back to old Timezone post restart
    It worked for me. I will monitor for couple of days and then post any more update.
