Satellite R630-12G - How to deactivate wireless communication?

Hi !
Everytime if i start my Satellite R630 12G notebook i have to deactivate the "Wireless communication" (blinks orange when its turned on).
How to set it "OFF" as default ?

Hello
Im not Satellite R630 owner and I always use internal WLAN card but you should look in BIOS. Depending on the BIOS/mainboard you can disable WLAN.
Check this!!!
Alternative you can disable the internal WLAN card in device manager of Windows.

  • Satellite R630-14J -How to remove keyboard?

    Hi there
    I have bought a Toshiba Satellite R630-14J, and i would like to remove de keyboard for clean it.
    I have tried to remove the plastic case between the keys, but I have not succeeded.
    Any Ideas would be appreciated.

    >i would like to remove de keyboard for clean it.
    In my opinion its not necessary to remove the keyboard in order to clean it.
    First of all its possible to remove the single keycaps. In case you would not be able to remove dirt, you could remove the keycap firstly. But be careful...
    In your case I would use a cotton wool tip and some drops of alcohol in order to clean the keyboard

  • Satellite L600: How can I turn off the main Wireless Communication Switch?

    Hello! Would be very grateful for any help....after struggling for 3 months I finally signed up here hoping to get some help.
    I have a new Satellite L600/ Win7 Home Premium.
    My questions is that I can not find where the MAIN wireless switch is in order to turn wireless off COMPLETELY.
    Everytime I start up, the wireless (orange) light switches on automatically.
    I have to wait till start up finish and manually turn it off by Fn-F8.
    When I open ConfigFree, (or Connectivity doctor), the diagnosis on the bottom left says [STATUS" Wireless Communication Switch: ON]
    This tells me the main switch is somehow still ON.
    I called Toshiba twice and they couldn't find it either.
    They said the new versions of BIOS doesn't allow it...? And for this model there is no physical switch built on the PC itself.
    I have looked everywhere and did the following:
    (1) Disable the adapter from Device manager.
    (2) In HWSetup, where there used to be an option to click the wireless switch off, it is not there anymore.
    (3) I went into BIOS setup and could find nothing remotely related to wireless/bluetooth to switch.
    I'm just wondering why there is a laptop with wireless switch ON permanently? But if it's ON, there must be a way to switch it off. Press Fn-F8 every time on start-up is not a long term solution as risk is I'll forget one day).
    As my last laptop was hacked before it is top priority that I know how to turn off ALL wireless function. So even if I have to do it via Commands, I will try it. Also, I'm not sure if anyone else experience the same with this model, or is this a defect in my particular PC?
    Any help or same experience will be much appreciated, thank you.
    I disabled the adapter in the device manager.
    When I open ConfigFree, the Connectivity doctor tells me the Wireless Communication Switch: ON

    Hi thanks for your replies! Sorry if I'm slow on the forum, at first I couldn't find where my thread went! Apparently it's moved to under Wireless. Is there alert message to let us know when my question is being moved?
    Thanks Paolo30, I am glad to know that Fn-F8 is enough. when I check Network Connections, the Atheros adapter is 'disabled'. Sorry may I ask if WLan card you are talking about in device manager = Atheros adapter? (Despite reading furiously on books to patch up my ignorance on the wireless last few weeks, still not sure the difference between 'adapter' and 'card'... :) Are they the same thing?
    Thanks Xardas. I checked the status in device manager and Atheros adapter is 'disabled'. I'm glad to know everything is ok if I see that! :) As my laptop was tampered wirelessly (and I don't know how they did it), I bought a new one and it's important for me to know it's 100% safe. Still, I want to tell Toshiba engineers it would be great to find out where this mysterious Switch is. It's not good to feel there is some sort of wireless capacity always ON and my PC may be emitting some wireless signals for serious baddies?

  • Wireless conection do not work in Satellite R630-13U Code : PT31LE-00V006

    Hi all
    I have bought a new Satellite R630-13U Code : PT31LE-00V006CE two weeks ago. Problem is that I am not able to get connected to any Wireless network (neither open or encripted with WPA nor WEP).
    In my laptop I got it with Windows 7 installed. I am able to see the wireless network icon next to the clock down right corner of the screen, also I am able to select one of the netwoks that the pc detects and show in the list. Then once I select the network it asks me for the password, and if I introduce a wrong password, I get the right error message.
    Problem comes when I introduce the right password..... then after a couple of mins where I can see the "process bar" screen I get an error message that just says " Not able to connect to "WNetwork Name"".
    As I said I have tried this with several networks open or with security and with both levels of security (WPA or WEP). I have tried this with different networks, with different routers, and in different places.... but never got a wifi connection with this new laptop.
    I have tried uninstalling the broadcom adapter, and reinstalling it downloading the driver from the official toshiba web site, also I have installed the last version of the "Added Value Package".... but still is not working.
    I have other friends with HP, o DELL that are using Windows 7 which are able to connect to the networks I am not , and with no problem..
    What else should I try to get this fixed??
    Thanks a lot

    Hi all
    Thanks a lot for the answer, but I dont think I have understood it correctly. What you mean is that I need to use the same encription that works with the router and with the Wireless card of the laptop (Broadcom).... but for me that would not be the right answer I need.
    Imagine that this can be the solution, so we need to change the security settings of my home wifi network and of our office to the one being accepted by the laptop,..... but what happens if I need to go to a customer, or to a cafe.... Do I have to ask them to change the security settings???.... my other laptos (even toshiba's) works fine with other networks... routers.... why is this one not working?.
    I have uninstalled the wifi card driver and installed it from the last one found in the toshiba's support site.... dont know really what else I should do.
    Please any advice will be very pleased.
    Regards

  • Satellite R630 - No wireless adapter found

    Hi
    I got the Satellite R630 just last week and installed firstly the included windows seven.
    After getting used to the system (I'm usually on Linux) I recognised, that there was no wireless lan connection available and no possibility to start the wireless lan.
    I've read, that the shortcut FN+F8 the wireless connections starts, so in my case it is the bluetooth and the wireless lan, but every time I pressed these just the bluetooth would start.
    Than I looked up in the hardware manager and under networks (or something like that) was just the lan-adapter listed, so I than looked up in the systeminformations, where under components the wl-adapter is listed.
    There it is listed as Atheros AR9285, and it also is written there, that the drivers are installed and the adapter could be used.
    But why can't I just switch it on? And why is it, that the adapter is not listed in the hardware manager?
    Anyone up with a solution?

    I have R630-11L with a Broadcom Card.
    I have had different problem witht the laptop not being able to connect to my Router. I finally was able to solve the problem and during this process, I had to install / uninstall the driver for the Broadcom several times. Thus, I hope my experience below will help you out.
    1- When I unistalled the driver for the Broadcom, the bluetooth seems not to get affected by the process. Ethernet cable works as well.
    2- According to Broadcom website, it is better to uninstall from Add/Remove programs, and not from Device Manager
    3- Installing as an administrator seems to solve more problems, but maybe I'm mistaken on that
    4- The driver can only be downloaded from Toshiba Website (U can usee the software that came with your laptop to access the driver update pages). The driver can not be found on Broadcom webpage
    Now here's the bad part:
    If you re-install on an existing driver, the driver wil work fine. However, if you completely remove the driver and have a fresh installation, the wireless network card will appear grayed out and disabled. Trying to enable always fails despite a false message saying it is enabled. I have all what I know to enable it, but didn't work out.
    Bottom line, I was not able to run the wireless network card by fresh installation of the driver.
    I couldn't figure out why.
    I had to restore my system to a working point using System Restore and in Safe Mode.
    Luckily I was able to solve my connection problem by tweaking some settings. However, I hope I don't face the problem of dealing with the driver again as it was not a pleasant experience.
    My suggestion is to see a Toshiba Technician for proper setting / installation.
    Thank You and Good Luck.

  • Re: Wireless Communications Switch

    I have a Satellite A660 notebook on which recently for some unknown reason the wireless communications has been turned off. On powering up the machine, the wireless indicator does not light up, but the adaptor when seen via Device Manager is enabled.
    Communications diagnostics tells me to turn on the "Wireless Communications Switch" but I can't find one - not on the front; not on the left side; not on the right side; not on the back nor anywhere else.
    Am I stupid or blind or Both? How do I turn on the "Wireless Communications Switch"

    The answer is I was both blind and stupid. Didn't realise the illuminated icon on the keyboard above the function keys was a push button

  • Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

    Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I find it hard to believe that this information isn't clearly available somewhere, but it isn't and I don't think I've seen anyone here who is 100% sure. However, I believe you can have up to 10 associated devices, which include authorised computers (of which you can have up to 5), I suspect the Apple TV might become a temporary associated device while it's in use, but I'm not entirely sure myself.

  • Satellite R630-105 - touchpad temporally freezes

    Hi all,
    Toshiba Satellite R630-105 model.
    When writing for a while (using the keyboard) without any rule-based touchpad icon character appears on the screen, and occasionally temporary freezing appears.
    At the same time I use a USB mouse, and I disabled the touchpad using the Fn-F9 Tin order to eliminate the problem.
    Disable USB mouse using the internal touchpad to be marked in the option menu Control Panel ->Mouse.
    Synaptics currently installed driver version 15.0.12.0 dated 11.03.2010.
    I also tried drivers installing at later date, but dont get a good result.
    I have tried the suggested solutions but it did not work this link:

    If you would appreciate a fix or suggestion for a solution.
    +Message was edited: posting has been translated+

    As I understood your issue, the touchpad icon appear while typing and this can be solved temporally disabling the touchpad pressing the FN +F9.
    Is this correct?
    In my knowledge you can disable the touchpad while typing by choosing the option in Control Panel > Mouse -> Pointing device tab (in some cases its Advanced tab) -> Setting button
    There is area called Operations during key input
    And there you can choose the option is called Disable tapping and Disable scroll function

  • Officejet Pro 8600 wireless communication has been disabled

    "wireless communication has been disabled"---- on my office jet pro 8600. It says this on my printer screen. Please contact system admin. I can not wireless print from my laptop. I have to be plugged in by Ethernet to do it. Please help me set up my wireless feature. I have called twice and they told me its my computer. I'm running windows 7 and i just restored it to factory settings and have done all the necessary update and still same thing is stated. "wireless communication has been disabled" its on the printer screen when i try to connect. This printer is 3 weeks old. I was able to print one document using wireless function. Than next day i get the error message "wireless communication has been disabled"

    Hello @ckilburg , welcome to the community
    I read about the troubles you are having with setting up your Officejet 8600 on your wireless network, and I have some ideas that may help you.
    1. Restore the Network Defaults (On the printer select Setup, Network Menu, Restore Network Defaults, Yes, Restart the printer).
    2. Run the Wireless Setup Wizard from the front of the printer again from the same Network Menu.
    3. Once the printer is connected back to the network, assign a static IP to stabilize the wireless communication. This guide has the instructions on how to do that: Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection
    Good luck

  • May a recent i Mac be installed as the host computer for a wireless community

    May a recent iMac be installed as the Host Computer for a wireless community. The present situation is; the iMac is subservient to the e Mac. I do not want to have two computers. I have one guest on the wireless.

    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:

  • X305-Q705 Wireless communication light blinking

    Has anyone come across the wireless communication amber LED blinking while the computer is turned off and shut down?  I do mean shut down, not asleep, hibernating, etc.  It only does this if the power adapter is plugged in.  It makes no difference if I remove the battery or not.  If I remove the power supply and leave in the battery it stops.  Any suggestions?  I appreciate any and all suggestions.  Thanks

    I'm trying to set up a new HP Officejet 6100. The installer disk is no help, since I'm using a new MacBook Pro. I thought I installed the software, but perhaps not. The instructions from support don't connect with anything I see.  It says make sure your printer has a wireless connection to your computer, but gives no idea how to accomplish this. Do I need to connect the printer to the AirPort with a cable? Is there no where to go for actual one on one support?

  • New Verizon Wireless Community

    Verizon Residential and Verizon Wireless each now have their own individual, dedicated communities. We are excited to bring you a new Verizon Wireless community to enhance your online experience.

We can offer you new categories and bring in new subject matter or break up existing content into more specific subjects for you to reference more easily. At the same time, the communities will only be a "click" away from each other.
    Below are answers to some of the questions we anticipate might be top of mind for you.
    Why did Verizon Wireless and Verizon Residential become 2 separate communities?
    As a Community Only user, can I still post to both the Verizon Residential and the Verizon Wireless ...
    I want to post a message to the Verizon Residential Community, but I can't sign in to post.
    If my password is changed on the Verizon Wireless Community, will I have to change it on the Verizon...

    Will someone please tell me how to get to the Wireless Forum, Prepaid, Phones and Devices etc. I have gone round and round with the site that wants me to sign up AGAIN and I can't since I'm already signed into the Forums. This site is so screwed up.  I have logged onto the New Community Site and the New News Central etc. I just want the wireless forum sites. I found this site accidently so I hope I can find my way back here.
