Satellite L50Dt-A: WLan drops out or shows "limited" connection

My wireless internet connection is was fine until last week - now it regularly drops out or shows "limited" connection.
Other computers including an ipad and printer are on the same connection but are not experiencing the same problems as my new Toshiba
Can anyone assist please?

Hi
What windows system do you have?
Did you update the system probably from Win 8 to Win 8.1?
Did you try to update the Wlan driver?
If not do that!
Mostly such symptoms could be solved by new WLan driver reinstallation or update.

Wifi is connected but showing limited connectivity

hi when i connect in my home wifi its connected but its showing limited connectivity i cant access internet from my home wifi but in others wifi its connecting and i can access internet too why please solve my problem thanks

Need more information. What phone and router have you got? Are other devices working with the router? Did you update router firmware recently? Most of the time it is a settings or firmware issue.
Things you can try.
Reboot router
Update router firmware if available
Temporarily disable router encryption to see if the phone connects without encryption
Try different encryptions
Check to see if DHCP is enabled
Change router modes
Check mac filtering

Satellite L500: WLan drops out and doesnt work most of the time

hi everyone, i have a toshiba satellite L500 running windows 7. have been using iprimus internet, wirelessly, no problems for a few weeks,before that, was using it via ethernet cable as i didnth ave a wireless modem. my laptop was off charge the other night and went flat, next morning when i woke up and turned it on, it wouldnrt connect to the internet.. after hours and hours of phone calls to iprimus, and numerous winsock resets, ethernet cable testing, and modem resetting, they tell me that the problem is within my laptop...
So i rang toshiba.. and they got me to go into device managers, and then network adapters, and disable, actually uninstall the wireless drivers, then reinstall.. and it worked.. finally... (forgot to add with all the iprimus confusion someone had reset my passowrd and i had to configure that to the laptop..
so anyway, after all these calls, i did a complete restore of the laptop, and wiped everything and reinstalled it all, and therefore reinstalled the modem. this time in modem setup it was telling me the wireless network adapter was unplugged, and would only let me set it up via ethernet..
now earlier today i did have the internet.. but it dropped out randomly.. webpages will go slow, sometimes it will reconnect, other times it wont. now i thougbht i might try and uninstall and reinstall the modem again,s ame error, and this time, cant get on wirelessly at all.
ive googled to see if others ahve had this problem.. and seeing what other people wrote, i went into my battery settings, and checked the WLAN didnt go into sleep mode etc, and ive also checked everythings enabled. ive no idea what to do,, neither iprimus or Toshiba will give me any anwers, both companies are just blaming each other lol
so i
it does appear to be my laptop, as all lights are on modem.. and iprimus keep telling me its not registering with them ( the disconnections) so it must be my wireless. though everytime my laptop dropped out of internet, so would my bfs iphone we were testing, and so did my other laptop which is partially stuffed but could normally still connect to the net.. so thats telling me its a modem problem.. ive no idea what to do.. and cant keep this via ethernet on the bench in this new hosue ive moved into,as with 2 kids under 3, thats just asking for trouble..
anyone have any suggestion??
thanks in advance

wel after many more phone calls to iprimus, i finally found a helpful indian, who ran me through the modem setup AGAIN like everyone else has, this time in its security settings, he got me to change the wireless signal channel from 2 to 9, said that would improve the signal, every other person when explaining the issues i was having, always told me to set it on 2.. so this has improved it dramatically in the day, but at night, particulary around 830pm, it drops out over and over and over...
would this just be a faulty modem, and perhaps buying oen from a harvery norman etc would be better?? or could it just be iprimus as a whole with there wireless coverage? im not in an iprimus area, theyve borrowed the lines of telstra or something.. so im on a crappier plan in this new house, and dont have adsl2 just 1500 speed. would this have anythign to do with the poor reception, or perhaps is there something in my house interfearing, or in my neighbors house? there is a satelite here, but no actual foxtel connected, looks as though it has been before. there is also an alarm here, not in use though.. ive not even seen if it turns on..

Satellite Z830 - Wireless adapter drop out/conflict with USB

My Satellite Z830 has a wierd problem. The wireless connectivity works well until I plug a usb flashdrive into the usb 3 port on the side. The wireless then drops out after a period and from then on it cant find any wireless connections available. It effectively kills the wireless adapter, or at least makes it less reliable.
You have to reboot to get the connection back. I've tried with a few different usb storage devices with the same outcome. Both the wireless connection and the usb drive work fine, but not at the same time. This happens regardless of whether using the battery or when plugged in. I checked the power settings to ensure there wasnt some problem there. Everything is just on factory install/settings generally, so I cant imagine it is anything I've changed.
I'm at work, but I'll see if I have the same problem with the usb sockets at the back, and/or with powered usb hard disk, when i get home. This is really annoying, as you cant use the net and leave a usb disk in without risking a drop out. I havent checked messing around with USB root hub settings or IRC issues as this seems unlikely. Any thoughts or is the a "give it back to Toshiba" issue - I'd rather not have the down time. It took me quite a while to work out this was the problem.
The wireless connection itself is very strong where the ultrabook is being used, so isnt a signal strength issue.

I used inSSIDer Office 5 day trial (http://www.metageek.net/support/downloads/)
too identify the same problem with my Z830.
_The results are really astonishing:_
the signal strength measured in dBm increases by > 100 times when the corded mouse is unplugged from the from the side USB port.
(plugging it into any of the USB ports in the back has no impact on the signal strength.)
In my case it jumped from -68 dBm to -41 dBm,: the -27 dBm difference means a 22.4 times improvement in signal strength (from about 100 pW to 2,240 pW).
See wikipedia for signal strength calculations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm
I tested to plug in an external hard disk into the side USB and it had the same -27 dBm effect on the signal strength.
In other words the wifi signal strength jumps from poor to excellent when the side USB is not used.
Toshiba must look into this significant hardware design fault and in the interim, as the very least, must advise their customers against using the side USB port when on a wireless network.

Airport Extreme dropping out and can't connect PC anymore

Hello
Suddenly, a couple of weeks ago, my internet connection dropped in the middle of surfing. I couldn't reconnect, Airport was only seeing the base station spasmodically and when I did try to connect I was being asked for a password which wasn't recognised. Hours later I called the support line and was advised to do a hard reset which I did, new name, same password. Now I'm reconnected most of the time, but it has dropped out a few times and the signal seems generally weaker. Something's not right.
I had not at that point done the July 1st update so it's not to do with that. I haven't a clue why it suddenly started playing up so strangely. (Though I have noticed a new unsecured wireless network in range and wondered if someone was 'hacking')
My main problem is that my business partner, who connects through a pc here (who remained connected incidentally when I first lost the connection) and continued to be able to connect until I did the hard reset. Now I can't connect that pc to the airport extreme. It sees it but gives an error message saying it's out of range and refresh the list when I try to connect. I fiddled about for hours. I've forgotten how the pc was set up in the first place and I'm going nuts. Can anyone help.
Thanks
Helen

Disappointed not to see any help on this one.
If it helps anyone out there to help me, I just uploaded the Airport Utility Software to the pc, typed in base station ID and password. Error message, check network connections. No help.
Try to connect the pc again the usual way from the list of available networks, it asks for password, I use it, then it says it needs to be 5 or 10 ASCII characters or 20 hexadecimal.
What I don't understand is that everything was working fine on both machines until two weeks ago when my base station went into spasm, dropped me but happy with pc, when I did the hard reset, keeps me, won't allow pc to connect.
I just don't know what to do now. Of course I suppose I could always make a call and pay £35 to have an apple technician tell me why their hardware suddenly screwed up for no apparent reason.
Seriously frustrated
Anyone?

CUPC 7.0.2 Randomly Showing Limited Connectivity

I have one computer among thousands that has CUPC 7.0.2 installed on it that is having an issue. The issue that the user is having is that they sometimes have limited connectivity on their client when logging in first thing in the morning. They will go throughout the day with this limited connectivity. The next day, he will come in and login with a full connection and no problems at all. I have checked the network settings several times and have determined it is not a network issue. The only thing I can think of is some type of software of setting on the computer causing the client not to connect to the primary of backup presence server. When the problem is happening, I can successfully ping the presence server. I tried adding the information to the hosts file that other people have recommended and that does nothing to fix this issue. .
The only thing that has changed is that the user got a different computer with a new image, same computer specs as before, just a clean image. I am not sure what could be causing this user to not always having a normal connection. Everything else is working as normal with CUPC and the strangest part is that the issue is totally random.
Any help would be much appreciated on what to check concerning this limited connectivity issue.
Thanks!

Paul,
I would be glad to help you take a look into this, unfortunately the problem report is not set to detailed. Please have the user go and select Help -> Enable detailed logging and close / re-open the client to make the settings take effect. Once you can reproduce the limited connectivity issue immediately collect a detailed problem report.
This problem is usually related to the sequencing of SIP messages used to connect to the presence engine. The issue will be specific to the SIP Register sent to CUPS not getting the proper response. This can be for many reason and will probably require detailed SIP Proxy and Presence Engine logs as well. I would suggest during the next re-occurance you collect all 3 (CUPC Problem report, SIP Proxy logs, and Presence Engine logs). Please ensure they are set to the detailed level before proceeding.
Regards,
Jason

Satellite P70-A01D Win8 Wi-Fi drops out frequently

Satellite P70-A01D
PSPLPA-01D002
Windows 8
Just brought this from D/Smith. Wi-Fi connects fine.
Then after a little while as I am browsing I lose the connection, or it displays as "limited".
I then have to reconnect (which it does easily) and all is fine... but only for a while.
Then I go through the same dance again.
I am 3 metres from my router. Signal strength is not the issue.
All our other WiFi devices are fine (2 iphones, 2 Ipads 3 laptops). No drop outs at all.
I have run Windows updates until there are none left to install - so current there.
I cannot find this laptop on the Australian toshiba website (http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support) to get toshiba specific drivers eg BIOS WLAN. The dropdown lists the make, model but when I try the operating system drop down it refuses to list any OS.
Therefore I cannot proceed to find any drivers at all.
I have used device manager to 'update' the wireless NIC but it reports my drivers are already the latest.
Help!

Hi
The notebook series is very new on the market and I think this is the reason why the drivers are not available yet.
However, I think you should try some other workarounds to check whats wrong with the WLan connection.
First of all it would be interesting to know if the WLan drop outs happens only using the battery power or also connected to mains?
If it happens only using battery power, the WLan cuts might be related to WLan power saving.
Secondly you should test if you can use different WLan standards (802.11 A/B/G/N)
Usually you can change this in device manager -> Wlan card -> properties -> Advanced tab
Last but not least check if the issue is related to the encryption settings.
You should connect the notebook to the unsecured (open) WLan. But do that just for testing purposes.

SCCM remote control keeps dropping out when another network adaptor loses connection

Hey guys,
Hopefully someone will be able to help me out
at work, we are running SCCM 2012, and I use SCCM 2012 config manager to manage the clients etc
We have a particularly annoying issue with SCCM remote control; it constantly drops out when a network connection on the client machine disconnects or changes state, even if its not interface I'm remote controlling through
Here's an example for you:
a laptop with a wired, and wireless connection:
I remote control the machine through the wired network address (lets say 192.168.0.1), but if the wireless connection drops out (someone turns it off or it breaks) the remote control client will kick me off, lock the screen, and I have to wait 20-30 seconds
before it will accept my connection again
This happens with any network adaptor that's installed on the client
Here is a copy of the logs re-creating this issue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nu4w28d44xky3rg/CmRcService.log
(I've edited it to take out usernames and IP addresses as they are publicly accessible)
So my question, does any one know how to fix this issue? I see it uses WMI, is there anyway to get WMI to ignore an interface?
Thanks heaps,
Harry

This is going to be done by design for security reasons. If the network connect for whatever reason is down the pc will automatically be locked.

Broadband Dropping Out and Connection Speed Decrea...

Sorry to be a pain but I am back here again.
Since the last issue with speed, connection drop out and noisey line which required an underground cable to be partly replaced, all has been fantastic and no problem to report. Many thanks to those who were involved in helping with getting that issue resolved.
About 10 days ago the broadband started to drop out at random times but not too often. The broadband hub light would go out for about 15 seconds before returning. My connection would automatically resume and no great problem. It has since become more of a problem and pain.
The frequency of drop out increased with a sort of pattern. Last week an example would be drop out at 11:50 am, again at 12:40 and once more at 1:30 pm. Each time the connection returned my computer icon for wifi would be a warning triangle. I clicked on the icon and would get a message 'limited connection'. The only way I could connect again would be to click the icon and select to disconnect and then connect, making sure a 'tick' was in the box for autoconnection. A bit more of a pain than before but usable. It got more of a problem over the next few days.
The frequency of drop out increased. This became a right pain when trying to purchase things online as I could not be sure in the purchase had been completed or if I tried again would I get two lots? Upon broadband connection returning I would not be able to 'auto connect' but would get the warning triangle of 'limited connection'. I tried the click to disconnect and reconnect but it failed to work. I ended up shutting down the laptop, waiting before powering up. This failed to work as all I would get is the warning triangle and 'limited connection'. The only way I could reconnect was to press the 'restart' button. This worked but it got worse.
The next day the broadband connection would drop out every couple of hours. It got to the point that even pressing the 'restart' button would not allow me to connect. I tried three times and gave up. I had to resort to pressing the very small 'reset' button on the back. This cured the problem for about 12 hours before the drop outs started again.
It is now a case of 50/50 if I can connect to the broadband again after a drop out. It is getting quite frustrating. I only used the small 'reset' as a last resort. I have noticed that the speed of the connection has started to drop down also.
Each time the hub drops broadband and I can auto connect and do not press any hub button, the timer has reset to zero days and zero hours. I know it takes about a week for the connection to settle. I do wonder if these drop outs are messing the connection settings for my line speed? The line used to be rated at 21 Mbps but has decreased to 17 Mbps, my actual connection used to be 19 Mbps but struggles to reach 14 Mbps. It is slowly dropping with each and every drop out.
I also looked at the event log in the hub. Just before each broadband drop out I see a external connection is made with the initials 'CWMP' followed by 'event code 1 boot' or 'event code 6 connection request' or 'event code 4 value change'. Straight after the broadband connection drops out with out fail.
All I can seem to find out is that the external connection is either the hub connecting to the server or vice versa? As for the codes? I have no idea at all.
I only ever resort to pressing 'restart' if I cannot connect to my hub. I have only pressed the 'reset' as a last resort as nothing else worked to allow me to reconnect.
Can anyone offer any help or best a permanent fix?

I connected to the test socket and used a wired connection for the speed test and hub stats.
The hub position and run of cables are the same as when the last engineer advised as the best set up.
Since my last post I have checked the event log and 'CWMP' has made at least two remote connections but the hub did not drop broadband connection. The broadband has been stable but just slower than usual, as you stated due to the drop outs/disconnections.
I guess a case of wait and monitor to see if the problem has resolved itself?
Will the speed automatically return to the usual 18 to 19 Mbps? or will something else have to be done to reset it at the exchange/server?
Here are the hub stats from this morning.

10 or more connections drop outs a day

Hello everyone this is my first post here so hopefully you'll be gentle. After having sky bb for over 4 years i decided to change to bt after the consatnt connection drops. Anyway i ordered bt broadband in nov 2010, and recieved it in feb 2011 (i know buts a long frustrating story) . My broadband is pretty much the same , i would love to phone up bt , but after the nightmare i had getting the broadband i dont want to talk to any overseas ppl , as i cant understand them and they cant understand me . Maybe beacause i talk fast and from newcastle..I have my stats here but im unsure how to read them. I would love if any of you can give me any help.. Thanks in advance ..

E4200 - wireless drops out

I am disappointed with the Linksys E4200 and E2500. Both had wireless issues with it dropping out. The Cisco connect was a nice feature, but the problems started when it wanted to update. I have gone back to the tried and true WRT54GL. I recommend that people should wait a year till Cisco fixes the problems.

The performance of your new router depends on various factors apart from the router itself. The wireless devices in your network, are they wireless G or wireless N devices? If they're wireless G devices, you won't really see any difference, and in fact any N devices in your network would also suffer because of that. Apart from that, placement of the router also matters.
Avoid keeping the router in a corner or under the table or something like that. Ideally you'd want to keep it at a higher location. The signal always travels better from a higher location to a lower location. Apart from this, you can also change channels on the router. Typically, wireless interference can cause poor signal strength and speed. Changing channels helps alleviate this problem to some extent. I'd suggest trying channels 1, 3, 6 or 9. You'll have to try each and observe which channel gives you the best performance. Every network environment is different, so what works for one network may not necessarily work for another. Please let me know if you need any further help with this.

Flash Player Drops Out Internet Connection of Other Programs

I'm having terrible problems with Flash Player X. Everytime I connect to streaming video using Flash Player, the movie plays OK for about ten minutes then Flash Player doesn't allow me to connect to the internet with other programs of other windows and drops out any programs already connected. I can either surf the internet or watch a movie but not both. I've tried re-installing the software, done every configuration of my system and firewall that I know how but still can't get rid of this problem. I've tried all the suggests in other threads but to still no avail. I could use some help on this issue.

No, Verizon doesn't automatically share your wifi connection with strangers. The cable company that serves Long Island is now doing what you described. They have guest wifi automatically enabled on their latest routers but FiOS does no such thing. If you would like to try to get some help with your varying speeds from fellow users here, start another thread and provide more details. Include what part of the country you're in; if you're measuring your speeds via a hardwire (Ethernet) connection or wifi; and what model router you have. I can tell you that with the rare exception of a few hours outage we had a few days ago, I consistenly get over 80 mb/s up and down on my 75/75 plan. That's the way FiOS should work and does for me. BTW, you should be able to go to the setup pages for your router in your router and see what devices are connected to your local network. Sign in at 192.168.1.1 on on the home page you'll see "My Network" where all devices connected will be shown.

My wifi connection shows limited access after updating my window 8.1

Hy wishes for all of you. Having trouble after update my window 8 to 8.1. Perhaps the wrost day of my life. After update lost my Internet connection. It's shows limited connection and unindentify network. I search different post on Web regarding this problem and applied but all in vain. I would like to restore my old window but I don't have backup so now have true in trouble kindly help me out
Would be thankful to all of you

Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E - WLan speed regularly drops out

Hi
Does anyone know what causes my laptop to lose wifi on a regular basis? It is a Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E running on XP. I purchased the laptop new back in February and it came with Vista loaded but the wifi kept dropping out and was advise to swap to XP as it was more stable.
When the wifi drops, the Wirless Connection Icon disappears completely from the sys tray as though it never existed although the wifi light just under the front edge remains on. Looking in the network connection in the control panel the wifi is not listed.
I have to shut down the laptop and reboot so that I can carry on working online.
I've downloaded the latest driver for the Atheros AR5007EG and I rang Toshiba support.
Anyone got any ideas - I'm disappointed with the performance of the WLan.

Ive got the same model, and had the same issue with the Wireless Card today (otherwise its been fine for 4 months). I was confused by the card not appearing in the device manager - like it was totally wiped from the system. I rebooted a few times and it did still not appear.
Left the laptop and did something else for a while, and on rebooting the card reappeared and the Wireless connection was remade.
I also have the same question: What causes all trace of a device to disappear - rather than the card to be shown but with an exclaimation mark showing there was some sort of conflict which might help us to sort the cause of the problem.
Have you had any help from anywhere else?

ATV2 music drops out after 2-3 songs, withou fail. Restarted/rebooted everything and my router shows no signal drops, suspect it is the home sharing but can't get into it to fix it. Am at my wits end.

Recently bought the ATV2, all working well until 2-3 songs played and it drops out and returns to the main menu. I have rebooted/restarted everything, and checked the event log in my router which shows no drop outs in WiFi connection. When I tested it with a movie, it worked, ran for the length of the movie, but when I put on music it did it again. Suspect problem is software, maybe the home sharing and the time until it drops out is close to the same each time. I am at a complete loss, and at my wits end. Please help

Did you happen to allow enough time for a power recycle when switching the router connected to your DSL modem?
