[SOLVED] Can't load wireless network (MEDIATEK Corp. Device 7630)

Hi all, I hope that someone helps me, because I need it.
I'm trying so hard to install the wireless controller I have on a new computer.
I have just installed Arch with the UEFI method, it seems to work quite fine, except for the wireless.
The Computer is ASUS F550C, in order not to lose time, I'm posting the output of what I have tried.
I tried to install the kernel module (driver) with ndiswrapper, and they seem to be loaded.
# lspci -k
03:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. Device 7630
Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device e074
Kernel modules: ndiswrapper
# iwconfig
enp4s0f2 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
I tried to load both network-manager, netctl via systemctl but it doesn't seem to work.
In the end of the day I noticed that the wifi led had been off all the time!
So I installed rfkill and executed:
#rfkill unblock all
that's the only thing I could do to let the led turn on!
If you can suggest me something (whatever it may be) please answer, or I will be linked for eternity.

  • WRT150N - can't see wireless network

    Hello,
    I just got a WRT150N and I managed to set up a network and I can connect via Ethernet. However, when I enable the wireless settings (mixed mode), neither my laptop nor my PS3 can see the network. What's odd is that the wireless diode is off but the Security is on. Am I missing something?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Try to change these settings on your Router and check if you are able to locate the Wireless Network on your Wireless Computer and on your PS3.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbors network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • Laptop can't see Wireless network

    I turned off my power strip the other night which turned off my Lynksys WRT54G router. When I fired it all back up, my laptop can't see the router. My blue-ray was connected to the router via ethernet for Netflix and it is still able to work through the ethernet cable and I can get online with my laptop with an ethernet cable, it just won't see my network wirlessly. It can see neighboring wireless networks though. Help!

    Advise you to log on to wireless router configuration page and recheck the wireless configuration again, try to find out any incorrect configuration. If need more ideas, can take a look on this wireless network troubleshooting tips article, hope able to help you more.

  • I can see my wireless network,but my ipod4 will not let me connect to the network?

    I can see my wireless network, but my ipod4 will not let me connect to it. When I try it tells me that it is unable to join. I can access the network on my laptop fine. I am also having trouble with connecting my ps3. It has the exact same problem. Can anyone help me?

    The ps3 problem tends to indicate a router problem.  Have you powered off and then back on your router?

  • Airport express can't extend wireless network

    Airport express(A1264) can't extend wireless network. It seems that Airport express can't find my home Wi-Fi network. Amber light is blinking, and AirPort Utility of MacBook also can't find Airport express.
    If AE is connected with TC via LAN cable, amber light is blinking with message "Wireless Network" (This Airport base station is set up to join a specific wireless network that can't be found...)
    It was successful only once, but all failed after that.
    Is there solution for this problem?

    Sorry, I misunderstood what you wanted to do.
    Since you did tell us that you had the Express connected with an Ethernet cable, I assumed that was how you wanted to configure the Express.
    But I want to extend a wireless network (not using ethernet)
    Because Airport Express and Time Capsule cannot be connect via ethernet cable.
    Follow the same setup as above....and do not connect an Ethernet cable.
    Keep the Express near the Time Capsule for the setup. Once you have a green light, move the Express to a point that is about half way between the Time Capsule and area that needs more wireless coverage.
    If you reset the Express several times and try the setup several times without success, I think you have to suspect a defective Express.

  • HT4259 I have a Netgear wndr3400 and I can "join a wireless network" but can not "extend a wireless network" on my Airport express.  Does anyone know why?

    I have a Netgear wndr3400 and I can "join a wireless network" but can not "extend a wireless network" on my Airport express.  Does anyone know why?

    Sorry, but "Extend a wireless network" is a proprietary Apple setting that will only work if you have another Apple router.
    It is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

  • Can't restore wireless network from suspend state

    On kernel 3.3.8 everything was working fine, after upgrading to 3.4.2 I can't restore wireless network after resuming from suspend. I am using ath9k module and netcfg for managing connections.
    For now the only work around is to reload ath9k and then connecting to wireless network after resuming from suspend state.
    Any idea if its a known issue? If there is a better workaround (perhaps to reload ath9k automatically) let me know.
    Thanks.

  • NB200 Can connect to wireless networks, but cannot connect to the internet

    I have been able to connect my Win XP netbook to my secure wireless network at home, other people's networks and public networks like the library and McDonalds. This week I'm away from home and discovered that while I can still connect to a number of different wireless networks, I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
    I've had this problem once before and fixed it by reinstalling Windows XP and all my other software. I have no idea why it has happened again. I'm hoping for a less drastic solution to the problem..?

    Hi Nakia,
    > I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
    Have you tested other browsers like Mozilla Firefox and does this work?
    As MasterG wrote try to renew the IP address using the commend line.
    Last week I had a similar problem and I could solve it by updating the WLAN driver. Just remove the driver, restart the notebook and install the newest one. :)

    I assume you're running nm-applet --sm-disable once you get a window manager session up?
    Try starting networkmanager after hal. From the wiki:
    You must also "disable" the default network daemon, and add the hal, dhcdbd and networkmanager daemons in this order:
    DAEMONS=( ... !network hal dhcdbd networkmanager ... )

  • IPod Touch suddenly no longer can connect to Wireless Network.

    Hello, I have yet to find an answer to my problem so maybe you guys can help.
    I have had my iTouch for at least 2 years and have never had a problem with it, and constantly used it to connect to the wireless network in our home.
    However, starting two days ago, my iTouch can rarely detect the network (even when right next to the router) and if it does, it is unable to join because it loses the signal almost immediately. After much troubleshooting, (laptops connect fine, friends iTouch's connect fine) I have determined that something is wrong with mine.
    The only thing I can think of that happened that day, was that night it had gotten extremely cold. (Montana, oh yay.) Could this have caused the malfunction?
    Any insight would be appreciated!

    Given that it got really cold and you brought it inside, condensation could have formed on the inside bits. Dump it in a bag of rice or a jar with those silica gel packages for a couple of days and see what happens.
    If you still have problems connecting, try power cycling your router and resetting your touch's network settings.

  • Macbook Pro can't see wireless network or connect to it, but iPhone can!?!?

    ok here"s the deal:
    I got my macbook pro in the states through school and it has been working fine ever since. I now just moved back home to Germany and for some odd reason the wireless network at home at my mom's won't appear in my "join network" list.
    I have tried diagnostics and advanced stuff, I have even typed in the network name and password into my preferred networks list manually... still nothing. When I connect the computer through an ethernet cable it works just fine. also searched and updated all my updates in case that was maybe the issue...
    here's the clue. my sister and her friend both also have macbooks (not pro's though) and both also run leopard and both of their laptops can see and connect to our wireless just fine. ALSO I have an iPhone, I purchased in the states and it can see and connect without any issues as well..
    I have called the German Apple support people, but they are absolutely useless and there are exactly 2 (!!!) genius bars here in Germany. one 4h and one 6h from where I live... sighs
    this is what I found in my about section, in case anybody knows what this means:
    +AirPort Card Information:+
    +Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8C)+
    +Wireless Card Locale: USA+
    +Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.21)+
    is it because it says "USA" and I am now in Germany? but how stupid would that be? other people that bring their American macs over don't have issues either... right???
    so yeah... HELP??? ANYBODY??? PLEASE???

    Hello,
    I had the same problem when I was traveling with my 2009 Macbook Pro. I am on a French ship and my MacBook was bought in the US. We have a wireless gaming network to play Call of Duty on that is set up on a LinkSys router. I was so frustrated because everyone else here could connect and play without a problem. My iPhone would even connect to the network but my MacBook Airport card wouldn't even recognize the network.
    It turns out that some countries use different Wifi channels. The Airport card in the US MacBook Pro is setup to only recognize channels 1-11. The European LinkSys router was broadcasting on channel 13 which is why my MacBook couldn't even see it. I changed the wireless channel on the router to 10 and now everything works great. I hope this works for you.
    Cheers
    P.S. - The US MBP can only recognize channels 1-11 on a standard 2.4GHz network. To see what channels your Airport Card will recognize, open System Profiler (located in the Utilities folder) and find the "Network" heading in the column on the left. Click "Airport" and it should display all of the supported channels in the info box to the right.

  • Photosmart b209a can't find wireless network.

    I've only had this printer for three days. The "Easy One Button" process to get it to find a network failed. It cannot find my wireless network.
    I'm using XP Professional on my laptop. McAfee Virus scanning and Firewall. (Not that it matters if the printer can't find the wireless network)
    I have a DSL D-link router with NO MAC filtering and yet when I print the Wireless Network Test Report it gives me this whole spiel on MAC address filtering and asks to add the MAC address of the printer to the router... but there's no offered solution if MAC filtering is turned off.
    I've changed my router security key from WEP to WPA-PSK.
    I've managed to get it to connect twice... and to print a test page on separate days. I have no idea what it is I do that gets it 'online' but it doesn't seem to last.
    I have spent several hours over the past three days (wasting entire days) trying to work out what the problem is. I have read forum posts; I have googled for solutions. The troubleshooting guide for the printer seems hopeless.
    The printer is on the same desk as the router with only a computer monitor between them.
    When I print the HP Network Configuration Page it states the status of the 802.11 Wireless is "Disconnected". The printer's wireless light is on, showing that the wireless radio is working on the printer.
    I bought HP because my last printer was HP and it was excellent (but not wireless). If I can't get it to go online, seriously, I'll take it back and exchange it for a different brand of printer. All I want is a printer I can print to wirelessly, is that so hard to ask? Yes, I'm getting really frustrated here. I live in a rural area and I don't have access to geek friends or a computer professional or anything like that and returning the printer requires a two hour drive so I have to be as self-sufficient as possible. Please, try not to use too many technical terms. I can understand some but not all and if anybody can help me, please be clear in their instructions (ie, don't just say 'go to setup blah blah blah' without saying which setup you're talking about.)
    Thanks for any help. It is appreciated.

    Yes, the desktop is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.
    Yes the laptop is wireless.
    The printer is connected to the router via wireless (which I've already stated, it keeps losing the wireless network).
    If I don't have my printer connected to the desktop via cable, then I won't have any printing capability at all, because, as I just said, the printer keeps losing the wireless network! I need at least some way of printing when the printer can't find the network (even though the wireless network is working perfectly fine).
    So, desktop connected to router with cable.
    Laptop is wireless
    Printer is wireless for laptop use (but it keeps losing the network and therefore is totally useless in that respect)
    Printer is connected to desktop via cable to enable printing because of wireless continuing to lose connection to wireless network.
    In fact my printer hasn't been able to connect to the wireless network for 2 days now... even though I'm currently connected to it on my wireless laptop.
    Sometimes the printer finds the network, sometimes it doesn't and when it does, if I try to print from the laptop wirelessly, the printer loses the network.
    This really is poor product and the installation manual might as well be used for toilet paper for all its worth, same with the 'help' feature on the disk. I only chose HP because I was familiar with it, since my previous printer was HP and reliable (but not wireless). I'm seriously wishing I'd purchased a different brand.
    I'm not an IT tech, but I've managed to be able to connect modems and routers and other peripherals to my network without too much hassle at all... until now.
    I'm sorry if I sound angry but this is completely frustrating. I spent good money for a product that I am unable to use for the main purpose I bought it! I'm reduced to saving things to USB sticks and physically taking them to the desktop computer and having to print from there.

  • WRT54G v6 - Can Connect to wireless network but can't access internet

    Ok, this is my last resort for help. I spent two hours yesterday with linksys "chat" support to no avail.
    First the techincal details:
    OS for all machines = Windows XP
    Laptop w/two adapters - one wired, one wireless
    WRT54G v6 upgraded with 1.00.9 firmware
    SpeedStream modem from DSL provider
    I have manually set the IP, subnet mask, gateway, primary and secondary DNS for my wireless adapter (using the Alternate Configuration in the Internet Protocol Properties of the Wireless Network Connection). When I connect to the wireless network I see that the IP, subnet, gateway and DNS server IPs are all correct (via ipconfig /all).  I see that I am connected to my SSID (11.0 MBps, signal strength Excellent) however I can't access web sites (the server not found message appears in the browser) nor can I ping the router IP or any other IP (LAN or WAN).
    My wired PC works fine with this router. My laptop works fine with this router when wired. 
    Anyone face a similar situation and have a solution?  Thanks.

    A new discovery...
    When I disable the wireless security on the router, I am able to connect to the wireless network, ping the router and access the internet.  So, there is apparently something wrong with the WEP security (although I am able to connect to the wireless network when WEP is enabled). 
    I am thouroughly confused. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • IMac can connect to wireless network automatically

    All of a sudden, my mac won't automatically join my wireless network. I can find the network easily and connect to it, but it doesn't connect automatically like it used to. This seems odd as iphones have no problem finding the wi fi network and connecting. This seems to have cropped up after I added another user account, but that may be totally unrelated. Any ideas how to fix this? Let me know if there are more details I can provide. Thanks.

    I've had this same thing for months now and I have no idea why. I do know that it started right around the time that I upgraded my iMac to Snow Leopard, but laptop (Pro) is still just regular old Leopard and it happens with it as well. I've tried everything - the approach in the previous reply to your question included - and have still had no luck. I tried all the old (2008, etc.) apple discussion forum stuff too. No joy. Please let me know if you figure it out because at this point in time I've tried everything I know. Granted, selecting a network every time I power up or wake a computer from sleep is not going to kill me, it's just....annoying.

  • Can connect to wireless network run off dell router, but not internet!

    I have a iBookG4 and have moved to a new apt with a wireless network run off a dell router/ comcast. My roommates have both Macs and PCs and can connect with no problems. I found the network on my airport and put in the password, joined network no problem, but cannot connect to the internet. The Airport status is yellow and says that Airport has self assigned IP address and cannot connect to the internet. I can connect fine to other open networks in the area so its not my computer. I tried to copy the IP address from my roommate manually to the network settings but that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong? No one here seems to recall how they set up the network and I am paying for a network I can't access. Please help!!!

    Does the dell router have an access list set-up?
    With an access list (depending on the router) it can be set-up to allow access for only certain MAC addresses. If your MAC address isn't in the list, you'll not get on.
    Usually the router will have an IP address itself of 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.0.1 - depends on the router. You should be able to determine it from the IP address your computers are getting. Try getting someone to connect to this through a browser, and check/change the configuration of the router directly.
