Satellite C50D-A-13G affects Wi-Fi connection of other devices

Hi all, first post and a problem, like most I guess !!
Bought my first W8 Laptop Tosh Satellite C50D-A-13G
The wifi is driving me mad
When it does connect to my BT wifi,, all other devises in the house loss their wifi connection,,
Seams this new laptop , "hog's" the connection,
Only way to get out of it, is to pull the power from the BT box,, and wait 5 mins !!
I am guessing its a window 8 setting somewhere,, but regret I am somewhat of a IT dummy !!
Any help would be appreciated please,,
TIA
Tim

To be honest you are the first who reported something like that in this forum community.
From my point of few there must be a configuration problem with your WLan router.
I would recommend you to reset the settings and to reconfigure the router again.
Check also the router user manual and maybe support website of router manufacturer page for possible issues and workarounds.
Fact is that if DHCP is enabled in your router settings, the notebook and all other devices will get the IP address automatically from an IP address pool. This should not affect other devices since each device would get an separate IP address.
I would also recommend you to check in router settings the different WLan standards like 802.11 A, B, G or N and different frequency modes 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz and channels.

I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
If that doesn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

HT201363 My iPhone, iPad and iPod are all associated with the same Apple ID. How can I remove the iPod and associate it with a new Apple ID without affecting the data on the other devices (note: there is no data on the iPod I want to keep)?

Very simple. Turn off Find my iDevice, then Tap Settings, General, Erase, Erase all content and settings.

Why doesnt my ipod not connect to other device through bluetooth

Why doesn't my ipod touch 4g connect with other devices through bluetooth ?

Because the iPod does not have the necessary BT profiles to do that. You can pair with another iOS device via BT via some apps that for peer-to-peer gaming.
You can also use apps for limited file transfer between iOS devices like this app:

Without apps you can pair to newer iPhones to share there interent connection if you have subscribed for sharing with your carrier

Since installing Airport Express wireless connection to other devices keeps being dropped

Our home network consists of my MacBook Pro 15", my wife's quite old Compaq notebook, an Apple TV, and recently, an Airport Express.
The router is one that was provided by our ISP, Alice/O2 in Germany. I think it is made by Siemens but its model name is Alice IAD 4421 WLAN (in case anyone in Germany is reading this.)
My MacBook connects to the WiFi broadcast perfectly every time, as did my wife's Windows laptop until recently. Between our two machines there was a total of one single occasion where the signal dropped, and a restart of the router got it back up and runnning.
The Apple TV was set up without any problems at all, the wireless connection dropped out once over the space of 6 weeks.
About 5 days ago, I bought and installed an Airport Express which has so far served the sole function of providing Airplay to 2.0 speakers in the kitchen, so I just selected 'join network' when setting it up in Airport Utility.
Since it was installed, video playing over Airplay to the Apple TV keeps stopping, with the message 'Apple TV is not connected to the internet', the AE itself suffers from dropouts in audio, (the LED has always stayed solid green) and my wifes notebook can only join the network after she has restarted it.
A restart of the router helps for about an hour, but the problems keep recurring.
Does anyone have any idea of any changes I can make to the AE settings, as it seems to be the cause of the dodgy connections to the other devices?

Hello mathias1711. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let's double-check your AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings for streaming iTunes ...
Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
To set up AirTunes on the AX, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
AirPort tab
o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
o Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
Music tab
o Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
o Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
o iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

HT1695 My Iphone5 has recently stopped working on wi-fi at home and bluetooth in the car. I am able to connect several other devices to my wi-fi at home and my Iphone will connect to other wi-fi alternatively to my home.

Hi
My Iphone 5 has recently stopped working on my home wi-fi and my car bluetooth. The phone will connect to other wi-fi devices but nothing on the bluetooth at all. Other devices are able to connect to the home wi-fi.
I have reset network settings and reset all settings. Still it wont connect to the home wi-fi or my car.
I have since taken my car in for it to be checked by the garage and am having the same problems in my courtesy car.
Short of throwing the phone out of the window any suggestions how I can fix it?
I'm thinking it'll have to be a factory restore

Ipad wont connect to other devices

My iPad won't connect to any other devices which are within range. why is this?

What type of device are you trying to connect to? The iPad only supports a limited range of Bluetooth profiles. It will not connect to a computer for file transfers for example. iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

Blue tooth doesn't connect to other devices

My ipod nano doesn't connect via blue tooth to any devices.

What devices are you trying to connect to and for what purpose. The iPhone connects to most devices that support music, telephone. It cannot be used to connect to computers, except for Personal Hotspot, and cannot be used to transfer files. You can see this support document to see what Bluetooth profiles the iPhone does support. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

Satellite C50D-A-13G switches off when unplugged

Hello
I have a new laptop but when I unplug it from the mains or switch the mains off it turns off immediately. The icon in the bottom right however says it is fully charged. Is there a way to fix this or is the battery broken?
Thanks

Hi. I have the exact same problem with the same model. Argos will not take it back and in the first few hours of owning it, installed a secondary copy of Office that I had and set up all sorts of other software.
I now have a very personalised computer that cannot seem to work on the battery.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Satellite C50D-A-13G - boot from HDD only, can't install Win on new SSD

I recently bought a SSD to improve performance a little, I of course want to install Windows onto this.
The problem is that while the laptop recognises that the SSD is there, it only tries to boot from it, which it can't of course because it is blank.
Says 'Checking Media [fail]' and then 'No Bootable Devices Found.'
I've gone to the boot menu and tried booting from CD and USB, neither option works and the system again tries to boot from the blank SSD.
I've set both the DVD drive and the USB as first boot devices. Again neither of them work and you guessed it, the system tries to boot from the blank device.
What am I missing? There has to be a way to get the system to boot something other than the blank SSD.

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the link, it solved my problem perfectly.
I was trying to reinstalling Windows 8 as it happened though, from the disc I'd burned after buying it for 24.99 at launch. I wanted Windows 8 from that because I hate the extra tat that Toshiba installed. That rubbish comes over to my desktop as well because of synch.

Macbook keeps dropping internet connection but other devices are fine???

I work from home & this is making me completely insane. My MacBook will drop the wifi connection constantly, I will be doing things just fine & the all of a sudden I will not be able to load something & any tab/page I have open will be "spiraling" or loading and get frozen up. My gmail contact list will all go to offline and I get a message that gmail lost connectivity. The bars on the top right of my monitor showing wireless connection will always be there (usually all 5 are dark), and it will say (both under that icon & in System Preferences-Network) that I am connected to my airport extreme. Sometimes my Skype icon at the top will stay green & logged in, but most of the time it goes grey/offline as well. I lose connectivity for anywhere from 2 min to 15 min 5-6 times a day (and that is just when I'm on the computer, I'm not on it all day) and then it just spontaneously comes back again.
My husband has a MacBook also & will have no problems even when I am having problems, and my ipad will get on our wifi no problem at the same time, so I know it is not the router/modem. This computer has been giving me trouble for months, with slow connections previously and then not being able to connect to wifi at my mother's house and then in an apartment we were living in temporarily, but I thought once I was back on my own Airport it would be ok and now it is worse. Firefox doesn't work either, so it is not Safari, although I use Safari primarily & it starts in there (and I got to Firefox to double check & see if I can get online in there which I can't).
I went to the Genius Bar the other day & was beyond frustrated, as the guy 'pinged' google 100 times with no problems, checked settings, ran some diagnostic & visited a few websites, told me nothing was wrong, he didn't know what to tell me and just looked at me like I was crazy, then started messing around on his ipad and ignoring me. When I asked if maybe my computer got infected or corrupted by something he again just stared at me and said there is no known virus for the Mac OS. He gave me NO advice, nothing to look for diagnostially when it occurs again so I feel like I'm at a total loss here. Please help.
On a side note, in the last week or two Safari is also now not saving any of my cookies/passwords/logins for more than a day or two and I have not changed a single setting. Plus I set up gmail 2 step verification b/c I got a notice that my acct had been accessed from another state (I changed password, etc) and it is supposed to remember my computer for 30 days but I have to get the text sent with a new verification code like every other day because it is not remembering me, which is very annoying.
Could these issues all be connected????

Hi Lisa,
Seems we have a similar problem and it is driving me nuts.
I don't have the password problem, but my connection drops out for 2 minutes and over.
If you bring up the diagnostics window from the prompt on the Safari page, when pages won't load again, it will tell you that everything up to the last 2 options is fine.
I've had the problem ever since I upgraded to the last MacOs, might have been for over a year now.
Since a couple of weeks I actually found that when no page is loading at all, go to the search field in the top bar of Safari. (my default is Google) it will actually bring up the Google page, then open just any other page and usually that will let you continue to browse the internet untill it plays up again.
I know it is very annoying but untill a fix or a solution this will have to be the way for me to work around it.
Finding the time to reinstall Lion is probably the best option.
Hopefully someone else does have a better solution for the time being.
