Satellite L300-17L - don't see any wireless networks detected

Hello all,
I just bought a Satellite L300 - 17L. All drivers seem to work except for the wireless card.
First, I installed the driver pointed by this site but I discovered that the card is actually an Intel Pro 3945 card, not Realtek as specified in the driver section.
Now I installed the driver for the INTEL PRO 3945ABG, version 11.5.1.15 and also the PRO Set utility, and I don't see any wireless networks detected.
I have a colleague that sees many networks using the same adapter but on a other Laptop.
I also tested the switch on the Laptop and it is on.
Did you experience this kind of problems on your system ? Please help me because I am really sad because of this issue.
Thanks & Best regards
Valentin

Hi
As far as I know this notebook was equipped with the Intel 11a/b/g WLan card.
You should firstly check if the WLan router and the WLan card use the same WLan standard.
In the WLan card properties (in device manger) you could check this settings choosing Advanced tab.
I would also recommend checking if the WLan was enabled properly
Bye

  • My Pcs don't see any wireless conection to airport extreme

    I have a Fujitsu laptop and an HP entertainment center with media center. Both are wi-fi enabled. I installed the airport extreme station on my imac G5 it works great. But when I tried to connect the pc wirelessly they don't see any wireless conection. What I have to do was conect the entertainment center with a network cable to the base station, so I can share my internet conection. Despite I put the base station right in front the pcs, they dont see it. I want to have real wireless in my apartment.

    Hi Lisetica:
    When you set up your Airport Exterme Base Station, did you select "Create a Closed Network"? If so, this will prevent your SSID from being broadcasted.

  • Cannot see any Wireless networks

    After installing the latest security update for 10.3.9, I can no longer see any wireless networks. I have tried reseating my airport card along with unpluging the antenna with no luck. I have also repaired permissions and trashed the Network Interface preference file, again nada. Another suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    I have a relatively new Airport Express base station at home and I have also tried testing the connection at several wireless hotspots.

    I had the same problem and that's why I ventured here for the first time after an hour's battle this morning.
    My solution: restart the computer. Just when the menu has gone out of sight, you get the Keychain pop-up box informing you that the airport application has been changed and whether you wish to allow Keychain access to this new version as well. Here's the tricky part. You must react within 1 (one) second to the pop-up screen and click the "always allow"-button. Once the computer has rebooted, you should have access to your Airport network once more.
    Clunky? Yes. With me, the problem was even more bizarre. I could see my trusted network in the Airport drop-down menu but even if the computer seemed to connect to it, I couldn't get an IP. Sometimes the whole upper right corner icon bar would freeze if I tried connecting.
    Puzzling? You bet. I'm rather perplexed as to why I couldn't just solve this problem by removing and re-adding the Airport Keychain entry with the new version. I can only conclude: thank you, Apple, for making patches that work.
    Experienced people: how do I relay my bug report to Apple?

  • Mac Mini - Core Solo - Won't See Any Wireless network

    I have a Mac Mini, first gen Intel, Core Solo, that won't see any wireless networks. However, it will see my extreme basestation, and my two airport express devices over bonjour, which makes me think that the wireless device is working.
    I've reset the PMU, with no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    Does an Airport card show in the system profiler?
    Is Airport switched on in your mini - the Airport icon in the menu bar should show at least grey bars rather than an empty white 'fan' shape?
    With Airport on, when you click on the Airport icon, does it show any network?
    If you click on 'Join Other Network' and type the name of the wifi network you run, what error message does the system give?
    How far away from the wifi base station is the mini? What kind of structures and environment is it in?
    If you move the mini to be in close proximity to the wifi base station, does it show any signal?
    When you download a copy of AP Grapher (http://www.chimoosoft.com/apgrapher.html) and run it, what does it show for signals, noise etc?
    How is the mini seeing any wifi devices via Bonjour - do you have it wired into your network? If so, the fact that the devices appear via bonjour doesn't mean they are transmitting wifi, nor that they are in range.
    By the way, the Core Solo mini doesn't have a PMU to reset. If you used the PMU reset procedure it won't have helped, and may actually have caused problems. The correct procedure for an Intel-based mini is an SMC reset, as follows:
    -From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
    -Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
    -Wait at least 15 seconds.
    -Plug the power cord back in, *making sure the power button is not being pressed* at the time.
    -Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
    -Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.

  • Sound drivers for Satellite L300-17l don't work

    I have installed XP Sp2 on my Satellite L300-17l. I downloaded the drivers I need from Toshiba official site. The display and WLan and Lan drivers were ok but the sound driver does not work. After installing the sound driver windows says "Your new hardware was installed but may not work properly".
    I have tried 2 versions of the driver that are in the official site but neither one worked. I started to worry if the sound hardware on my new notebook is ok at all?
    Any solutions ? I can't get the problem for couple of days now..need help dudesa

    Before you would install the sound driver you should firstly install the
    AUDIO Patch *KB835221* and *KB888111*.
    These are Microsoft hotfixes. Search in the net for the download
    After installation reboot the OS and then try to reinstall the sound driver again.

  • Can no longer see any wireless networks

    Hello,
    I've had my macbook for just under a year now and have never had a problem seeing/connecting to any wireless networks in the past. However, over the past few days I have had issues connecting to my router. It keeps kicking me off every 15 or 20 minutes and when I try to reconnect it often gives me a timeout error. I have reset the router countless times and have even reset it to factory settings and triple checked that the firmware is up-to-date. I felt it was a router issue until this morning; it kicked me off so I reset my router and turned my airport off&on but now I cannot even see the network nor the other 10 (or so) networks that are typically viable. Since I cannot even see the wireless networks across the block anymore I seems like this has to be a computer issue (or at least the computer has to be involved to some degree).
    I've tried to make an appointment at the genius bar but they are booked solid, as in they don't have any available appointments available at any time, even days in the future. Has anyone seen this problem before? Is my wireless card is on the fritz? Does anyone know of any potential software issues that could cause this?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can skip the Genius Bar and just call AppleCare directly.
    However, a couple of suggestions:
    • create a new location in your Network preferences; does the problem persist?
    • create a new user and log in to that account; does the problem persist?
    This one's more extreme: Do an Archive and Install, which will completely reinstall the system but preserve user accounts and data:

    If these don't help, then it may well be hardware.
    Good luck!

  • Airport extreme can't see any wireless networks.

    Hi, I have an iMac that has always used an ethernet connection to the internet, but now I want to connect wirelessly. But it doesn't seem to "see" any networks, mine or otherwise, which work fine on my other apple devices. Does the fact that my wireless card was purchased (as was the imac itself) overseas make it incompatible with US wireless networks? Or is the card broken and I have to take the computer in for repair? Or is there some way I can resolve it myself?
    Here is what my Airport card info says:
    AirPort Card Information:
      Wireless Card Type:          AirPort Extreme  (0x14E4, 0x88)
      Wireless Card Locale:          Asia Pacific
      Wireless Card Firmware Version:          Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.22)
      Current Wireless Network:          wireless network not available

    Yes, it does. Still doesn't "see" any networks. If I need a new airport card, is this something I can do myself or does it have to be done at an apple repair shop?

  • Can't see any wireless network on my g5 dp2.5 can anyone help?

    hello - i have just bought a 2005 model dp2.5 g5, and an airport extreme card. I have a wireless network at home which my other macs are all seeing fine, but this new computer won't see any network at all. i tested the extreme card by putting it in my laptop and it works fine. have tried to log on manually but again the computer doesn't see any network. the airport logo is there on the top menu bar but with no signal.
    any ideas?
    Tony

    Very similar topic. I have a g5, but I have a windows desktop, windows laptop, and xbox360. I have an airport extreme card with the antenna in place. The two windows machines have their wireless network cards and antenna.....the xbox has it's wireless adapter. When I start up the machines, the three microsoft machines connect just fine, the G5 won't connect. I can run an ethernet cable to the Linksys G router, and sometimes that kicks in the airport card. But who wants to do that every day.
    I can share files between the two windows machines, but not to the powermac. not sure about the xbox360.....the wireless adapter is an xmas present. But connected via ethernet cable, the xbox won't work with anything.
    Help please.
    Harry.
    I just bought a new router with the notebook which I got a couple of weeks ago. The old router was a B and the new one a G, but that is moot. Everything is backwards compatible....and none of the machines support X.

  • IMac suddenly can't see any wireless networks!

    I have a recurring problem with my iMac 20" Intel Core Duo.
    For some reason, it suddenly loses the ability to see wireless networks. The problem is resolved if I restart. I go through this several times each day, and the frequency of the problem is increasing.
    Strangely, there is nothing wrong with my Airport Extreme wireless network. My other computers see it just fine.
    And when I check the Airport indicator at the upper right-hand side of my iMac's desktop during this problem, it shows NO wireless networks at all! And I have 7 neighbors with wireless networks on 24/7!
    As I said above, the solution has been to restart my computer, at which point all the networks appear again.
    Can anyone offer a solution/explanation? I have tinkered with my network settings to no avail.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    MacBook Pro, iMac 20" Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    It has to be unrelated because I too have been having the same issue for the past 2 weeks. Actually it seems that ever since I reloaded the last iMac intel update (which I had to do to get my iSight to work again)
    I've been having this issue multiple times a day. I even moved my iMac thinking I had too much distance and walls between the router and the iMac.
    I know it isn't the router because the laptop in the house picks up a very strong signal all the time.
    I tried switching channels on the router (a linksys) and it has seemed to help a bit. I am now down to dropped signals only about every other day.

  • Ipad can not see any wireless networks

    So I updated my iPad's operating system last night, and my wireless connection to my home network worked fine. Now I'm at work (in a midtown Manhattan office building, where my laptop recognizes about 50 networks) and it can't see a thing.
    I don't have the ability to unplug the router, and at any rate this is clearly an internal issue as it's not missing one network, it's missing dozens. I've restarted, reset wifi, reset network settings, toggled airplane mode, etc etc etc. Any other suggestions? Inevitably, it's on an afternoon I have a major facetime appointment.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Re: Satellite L300-17l - Toshiba Power Saver gives me error after install

    When I bought my L300-17l all drivers from Toshiba drivers download pafe worked ok.
    Recently I reinstalled my XP OS and now I started installing again all the drivers. LAN was ok, WLAN was ok, Display driver was ok.
    But when I get to install Toshiba Power Saver ( URL: [http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/pwrsav-en-20080519172104.zip] ) it gives me this error ( it shows the error either after I click finish on the instalation or before installing has begun, as you can see on this screenshot ) - [http://www.picvalley.net/v.php?p=u/2381/9078672171740560287.JPG]
    I tried later this - i go ot control panel and open Toshiba Power Saver, but then it gives me another error - " CANNOT open because you do not have access rights to use "TOSHIBA Power Saver".
    I reinstalled again my XP and it still gives me this error....I wonder what the problem could be....PLS help me

    Hi
    Satellite L300-17L belongs to the PSLBCE series.
    I chosen this model number and found exactly the same power saver which you have tried to install.
    Therefore I assume you have chosen the right Power Saver Utility for this notebook model.
    But did you install also the Common Module?
    This software should be installed firstly before any other tools installation.
    Did you update the Win XP to the latest state?

    Google show that you have to cut what you want to print and then paste it into a new app and print from that app.
