Satellite A300: "Wake on Wireless LAN" option disabled in BIOS

Hello,
I have a Satellite A300-230 notebook, and in the BIOS, the option (under Advanced) to enable/disable the *Wake on Wireless LAN* is disabled and greyed out without any way to change it.
Why is that so? How can I enable it?
BIOS version is 2.20 (latest).
Thanks to all.

Hi, i've just installed the Toshiba Hardware Utility and there is no option there for wireless lan wakeup. It has Wake-on-Lan for my wired card (which is enabled), but no wireless Wake-on-Lan.
btw, my BIOS is InsydeH2O. I understand that there are several manufacturers of BIOS's for this notebook, no? what is yours?
also: my wireless card is Atheros

Wake on Wireless Lan

I can successfully wake my Mac Mini over the wireless lan some of the time, but not consistently.
I am using a Linksys router flashed with DD-WRT as a repeater bridge talking to a Thomson wireless ADSL modem (provided by my ISP). I am not therefore using the Airport Extreme set up recommended by Apple for WoWLAN.
The issue seems to be that if the Mac has been sleeping for only a short time (seems like an hour or two is the cutoff), then WoWLAN works fine. I use a Squeezebox Wireless Music Player to wake the Mac wirelessly by sending a wake packet to its MAC addresss, and I also use a iphone app that does the same.
Neither approach wakes the Mac after it has been asleep for longer than an hour or so. Looking at the console messages, the key one seems to be
+ airportd[301] _fastFinderContextInit: Starting auto-join with ssid 'My wireless SSID'+
appears when the Mac wakes from a state which would not allow WoWLAN
My suspicion is that after a set idle period, the Mac is somehow dis-associated from the router. Does anyone have any thoughts how I could fix this. My instinct is that there might be a setting within the Router (actually the repeater bridge) that I can change that stops it forgetting the Mac after a timeout period of no activity or extends the period from one hour to say 8, which should be more than enough.

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
We are really sorry to hear about the issue you are facing,
Click Start, then search for and open the Device Manager. Find your networking device in the list.
Right click on it and go to Properties, then click on the Advanced tab.
Scroll down in the list to find “Wake on Magic Packet” and change the Value to “Enabled.” You can leave the other “Wake on” settings alone. Click OK

Satellite C660-15 No Wireless LAN

Hello helpfull people
I have just received my new Satellite C660-15 Netbook. To get rid of all the bloatware installed on new netbook I formatted it and installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I combined the hard drive partions and being silly did not make a proper backup of the installed recovery software presuming the drivers I required would be on Toshiba website.
Now the Wireless device does not work.
The driver (RTL8188CE version 1005.18.0413.2011) installs OK and says device is working properly but does not see any wireless networks.
Is this the correct wireless card ???. I have tried downloading and installing various Realtek drivers, as well as the ones on the Toshiba website (Atheron Broadcom etc).
I have seen people being told on the forum not to upate WLAN drivers as they may stop working. Unfortunately the latest one is the only one I can find on the
Internet.
I have tried both 32 Bit windows and 64 Bit with different drivers none work. The wireless device worked when the netbook arrived.
Maybe i should have kept the bloatware.
Many thanks in advance

Macius
Sorry for slow reply waiting for a user account Laptop is C660-115 PSC0LE-00500JEN
I Installed ConfigFree tool and it said WLAN card is enabled properly.
I do not have an LED for the WIFI to light up and tried Function F8 many times.
The Icon just shows no networks in area. Can pick up 4 or 5 on other laptops so range is not an issue. I have tried installing all Realtek Drivers from Realtek website.
I did a few google searches and seems a few users were having to roll back drivers after being told by Toshiba driver update utility. I do not have this option. The driver
installs okay and i get the wireless icon in taskbar, however no signal.
At least I have learnt about recovery CD.
Thanks again

Wake on wireless possible? Disable sleep when lid closed?

I just bought my first Mac & am still trying to figure some things out.
Is there a way to have it wake on wifi? I like to be able to connect to my machines when I'm at the office. My Macbook goes to sleep & then I can't remotely access it. Wake on LAN works fine, but I don't want to keep an ethernet cable plugged in.
Another thing I can't seem to get is how to disable the Macbook sleeping when I close the lid. On my old Windows laptop, I'd often put on a podcast & listen while falling asleep & have one start as an alarm clock in the morning. I like to keep the lid closed to keep out dust, etc.
I found a 3rd party app InsomniaX, but would rather find a supported way of doing this.

Insomniax is your best bet. The only other way would be have an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse hooked up.

Satellite A50 - wake-up on LAN

Is an A50 capable of being woken on LAN? I'd
If so, how do I set it up?

Hi
Unfortunately, if the WOL option is not supported by BIOS, then you cannot use this.
But check also the preinstalled tool called HW Setup.
This tool provides some BIOS options. But from my knowledge there should be only the option Wake Up on Keyboard.

Satellite A300 Won't boot after powering off during BIOS upgrade

Hi,
I was trying to upgrade the BIOS after reading an alert from TOSHIBA TEMPRO, after some time, it didn't seem to launch so I ran it a second time, then both BIOS application showed up in the taskbar only and it froze while I didn't start upgrading or anything, I had to power off.
I tried to reboot but now, it just stays on black screen ( the monitor isn't even powered, as if the system wasn't running ), all leds are powered with the "accessing hard disk" flashing, the led from the DVD reader keeps on flashing while making a noise every 3 seconds or so.
I've read on the forum that there may be no solutions but to take it to an authorized service provider, but I'm willing to take any possible solution before doing it.
Thanks for any advice.
Alex.

Yes I did. Thank you. In my case I had to borrow the USB diskete but I was lucky to get to it!.
The problems with the BIOS update are that there is no enough information about how to do the process. I found some important information after corrupting the BIOS while it should be available with the download archive. Also in my case the program started updating BIOS without prompting or anything and couldn't react to prepare everything on time. I could see this happens a lot. There may be a problem with that software because I heard people saying that everything seemed to work fine but then it didin't start up.
The worst thing was that local support service wanted me to change the whole motherboard and then paying a lot for removing one of the passwords saying always that there was no other option even when it seemed they knew that wasn't true! I'm a upset with them.

I want to use Back to my Mac, but my iMac using wireless LAN will not wake from sleep

I've read a ton of posts, and it seems that others have similar problems.
Here are some details: I have a 2 year old iMac now running updated install of Yosemite. I have a brand new MBP running clean install of Yosemite.
I have a 2 year old AirPort Extreme connecting my home wireless LAN. How can I get my MBP to connect to my iMac using Back to my Mac once the iMac has gone to sleep. Back to my Mac works if all computers are active.
The appropriate energy saver selections have been made. Leaving the iMac awake is not an option.
it just doesn't seem to work. No wake on wireless LAN?
Help please

Someone else may come along and have an idea, but as far as I know the iMac shuts off wifi when asleep so it can't be used to wake up the Mac. It has to be a wired connection.
Leaving the iMac awake with the display off really doesn't use much energy so it might be worth considering.

How to recover Bios on Satellite A300

How to recover bios on satellite A300 laptop?

> Somebody told me that the bios must have infected and asked me to rewright the bios.
So this someone hasn't got much savvy.
Sorry mate but this issue has nothing to do with BIOS. BIOS is saved on the ROM module the virus cannot affect the ROM module since it needs to be flashed and I dont think that this a case on your notebook.
You just deleted something in registry?? Im afraid this is not enough to get rid of a virus
The best solution is to format the HDD and to reinstall the system once again
Use the recovery disk because the recover would delete all partitions and would reinstall the system, drivers and tools again

Satellite A300-1NO - Wakes up from standby mode

Hi all!
I have got a Satellite A300-1NO with Win XP pro.
The problem is, that the laptop wakes up from standby mode automatically after about 5 minutes.
I tried to unplug all cables (LAN, usb, etc) but the power plug, but it's the same result.
So what can cause this? What should I try?
thanks.

You should disable the Wake up on LAN function in BIOS and Windows.
Check the BIOS for this option!
You can disable this feature in Windows if you right click on the network card > properties > advanced > wake on LAN
I hope it works for you.

Satellite Pro L770-12P - Wake-up on LAN not possible?

Hi,
I am trying to send a Wake-up on LAN (WOL) message to my notebook to power up.
I did not manage to get it working.
But I do see a strange thing happening: When I send a WOL magic packet while my notebook is running, the notebook automatically reboots after shut down.
It looks like the Magic Packet is stored somewhere (maybe in the NIC?) and is activated after the notebook has shut down. I think that a magic packet should be ignored when a machine has already started, and not be saved and executed after the PC has shut down again.
This said, I did a successful test with another PC; I am able to send a magic packet over my company network. So the problem is not somewhere else. But the BIOS of my Toshiba laptop is not picking it up when the machine is turned off. Only when it is already running.
Is this a bug and can this bug be solved?
Regards,
Alfons
PS I do have the latest BIOS version (v2.30) and I have enabled Wake Up on LAN in the BIOS.

Hi
According to the Toshiba driver page, the last BIOS update was 03/09/12 and I doubt that new BIOS version will be released in the future. The Satellite Pro L770 series is already discontinued.
However, as far as I know the Wakeup on LAN option can be found also in LAN card properties.
Go to device manager -> LAN card -> Properties -> Advanced tab
Here you should check if WOL option is enabled.
By the way: the LAN driver seems to be from Realtek. I would recommend you to update the LAN driver directly from Realtek driver page. I know that WOL is controlled on BIOS level but I think update is worth a try.

Missing "Repair Computer" in Advanced Boot Options - Satellite A300

My new Satellite A300 will not load and I didn't have a chance to make a recovery CD.
I have made a backup of the Hard drive and now want to restore the settings back to the beginning.
I tried downloading a Vista recovery disc but the laptop won't boot from that.
Pressing F8 after turning it on doesn't give me the option to repair the computer and pressing zero on start up doesn't make any difference.
Is there a way of telling the computer to look at the partitioned section of the Hard drive and boot from there?
Help is much appreciated

Repair my Computer option in Advanced Boot option will be shown if your notebook is installed with recovery image. You can install your own Vista and copy HDDRecovery folder back but this option in advanced boot option will be gone and you will not be able to install OS using this option because it will not exist anymore.
There is nothing to do.

Satellite A660 - message Wireless Radio is disabled

I recently had some issues with my Belkin Router and after a reset was performed I attempted to update my wireless security settings.
This failed and I was met with the message "Wireless radio is disabled. To configure wireless security, please enable wireless radio." I have since tried the Fn + F8 keys etc to no avail - assistance required.
Thanx..

Hi
I would recommend you to uninstall the Wlan driver.
Do that from device manager.
Uninstall the Wlan driver, reboot the notebook and install new Wlan driver which you could download from the Toshiba driver page.
Then go to control panel -> network and sharing center
Here on the left click on the option Manage wireless networks
Now you could add and configure new Wlan
