T60 - No Wireless Adapter Installed - Help!

Hi.
I've got a T60 running XP. I can't connect to a wireless network, because the computer claims a wireless adapter can't be found. I tried downloading and installing a new driver for my network card, but that did not help. (The downloaded file was 6hcx05ww).
Please advise on how I can resolve this problem.
Thanks.

1. Hi have you tried to Rollback the drivers that were installed over the old ones, as this would solve the issue if you can see the hardware you have an issue with in the Device Manager.
2. Reboot and do a "Last Known Good Config"
3. Or do a system restore, if you have a point before you installed the new drivers this would fix the issue for you.
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.
All the best.

Wrt54g and internal wireless adapter - please help

Okay, I'm new to this home networking so my lingo is non existence. I have a wrt54g wireless router. Can I use this router with my labtop internal wireless adapter. I assumed I could use this router w/out a modem or ISP, based on what the sales rep told me when I bought the router. Patient and expertise would be greatly appreciated. Please help!!!!

When you sign up with your ISP, they will likely provide you with (or sell you) a modem. Be sure you get a modem with an "ethernet port" (sometimes called a 10/100 port) on it. If the modem only has a USB port, you will not be able to connect to it with that router.
Sometimes the ISP will give you the choice of a modem, a router-modem, or a wireless router-modem. Since you already have a wireless router, all you need is a modem.

Wireless Adapter Card Help.

I recently moved back to my parents house after living away at university for a year, since then they have changed the ISP from AOL Broadband to BT Infinity and I found my wireless card doesn't seem to be compatible. Whenever I turn my PC on I don't know if I'll be able to get an internet connection and if I do it'll only last about an hour, at which point it disconnects and won't reconnect until I restart my computer.
I need some help to see if anyone knows why it's doing this and if it is a problem with the card can anyone suggest a good wireless card.
I need a card compatible with my PC Specs, BT infinity and good enough for online gaming e.g. World of Warcraft, League of Legends etc.
PC Specs:
Motherboard: ASRock K10N78FullHD-hSLI
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 Processor 3.00 Ghz
Graphics Card: GeForce 9400 GT
RAM: 4GB
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
I have tried two wireless cards both were TP Links, though I can't remember the model, and neither have worked with my internet.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
As you have already tried two cards and neither work buying a third without confirming that it is your WiFi card causing the problem may be a waste of time and money. If possible i would try to use one of the cards you are having issues with in another computer and confirm you get the same issue. Ideally try this with the PC in the same place as the problem one and also try it in the same room as your home hub. If you card works on the other machine then some more investigaion would be needed to find out what is causing the problem on your PC.
If you just want to buy something new then i have found this pair to work well together, the connection is very stable, the Antenna is optional, but has helped me get even more range out of the card.
TP-Link TL-WN951N Advance Wireless N PCI Adapter
TP-Link TL-ANT2405C 2.4Ghz 5dbi Indoor Omni-Directional Antenna
I bought the pair of these off Amazon for just under £30, so not the cheapest but they have worked well for me.
A brief look at your motherboard spec suggests it has the required PCI slot, but i'll leave that to you to double check

T60 -- Bad Wireless connection. Help please!

Hi Guys, my T60 has unstable wireless connection problem. I make sure the radio is "ON". It gets connected to the DSL network but it gets disconnected on and off ( the radio turns off by itself sometimes). Something wrong with my Intel PRO Wireless driver 3945abg? Can anyone guide me how to fix the problem??
Thank you!!

Hi there,
I'm having the exact same problem - installed the OS (Windows XP Pro) adding SP3 and updating all drivers.
Then I connect to the wireless whitout any problems. I go to sleep, and next day wireless don't work!
The Machine is a T60 2008-WGV. I have made a image of the clean disk with Clonezilla, and therefore I can restore the OS quickly to a working wireless, but I find it quite anoing to have a clean OS every morning, in order to use network.
anyone please?

Connecting an iPad to a projector with a wireless adapter

A business where I am going to conduct training has a ceiling mounted projector. The projector has an Imation wireless adapter installed. The product has been discontinued by Imation so they are not developing any drivers to work with iPads. Does anyone have any suggestions? Are there wireless adapters that will work with iPads that I could suggest to the company? They are in the process of distributing iPads to selected users in the business so this issue has not come up for them yet.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi CraftyLady53,
I use a program called Reflector to wirelessly display my iPad onto my computer. I then connect my computer to a projector so that my iPad screen can be displayed via projector to a screen on the wall.
If you want to cut the computer out of the equation, you'll want to go with an Apple TV which you can directly AirPlay your iPad display to the projector.
Hope this answers your question!

Upgrade my DV6-6126sl with an Wireless adapter Bluetooth

Hi,
I open a new topic, because searching among existing ones, I did not find useful answers.
I have a DV6-6126sl and I decided to upgrade it with a wireless card that implements the Bluetooth. analyzing the service and maintenance guide, I chose to buy the part number 657325-001, which should be compatible with both AMD and those models intel, but when I insert the card at startup hangs and does not post bios, giving an error "wireless adapter installed is not supported and then has the error" wireless (702) "," how is it possible? there is a method to unlock it, thanks

Today, the seller has sent to me an email that says: "I have the Ralink RT3090BC4 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR Combo Adapter 630705-001".
According to you, since the manual is listed as "For use on all computer models:" can I try?

Help: XP driver for 3000 G410 wireless adapter

Hi All,
My recently bought g410 came with Vistra (only) drivers CD, while I'm installing winXP instead. I downloaded drivers from Lenovo website and everything worked except the winXP driver for "wireless network adapter" (all 3 of them: Gemtek, 3xxx, & 4xxx), the adapter was simply not recognized.
When I look at g410 spec, it says something like "Wireless Network Type: InviLink 802.11BG", does it mean that it is another type of wireless network driver those available on Lenovo's site? If so, where can I get this driver? Can someone help, please?
Thanks,
fitro
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dear Silens,
Have tried to install the vista driver for Gemtek, and YES, the wireless thing is working now! Thanks for the feedback.
I notice that in the device manager, the device reads something like"Broadcom 802.11g" while from the specification, the wireless adapter should be 802.11bg (the letter "b" is missing from the description). I don't notice any performance issue though, however, would like to know if you have the same description as well?
Dear Rex,
I don't know how to start the system update software, do i need to download from any website?
Thanks,
fitro

No wireless adapter after clean install

I have an X61 and did a clean install of Windows Vista Ultimate and now my internal wireless adapter card is not showing in my device manager. It worked before the install, so I know the hardware is there. What do I do?

Inside your device manager, do you have Yellow Question Marks next to other devices or any issues with your chipset drivers.
The WiFi adapter drivers are useless if the chipset that supports the socket, that supports the WiFi card are malfunctioning or missing.
Hopefully, you aren't being encumbered by user mode privileges and you've thoroughly executed the system in manager / Admin mode and experienced the same issues.
Don't just sit there, take a second and use the Kudo's button to compliment the people who help you.

Hi,
if you have the Agere MiniPCI WLAN card installed, the system needs to install the following registry key with the driver for the WLAN card:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Pcmcia\Parameters]
"IrqRouteToPciController"=dword:00000006
I've found an installation instruction:
1. Clean install Windows XP Service Pack 2 package
or Clean install the Windows XP Gold package and install Service Pack 2 update image on it.
2. Copy the TICardBusIrqRouting.reg to the system, then click the file on the system.
3. The following window will appear,
"Are you sure you want to add the information in xxxxx\DISABL~1.REG to the registry"
Then select "Yes".
xxxxx is the location of TICardBusIrqRouting.reg
4. The following window will appear,
"Information in xxxxx\DISABL~1.REG has been successfully entered into the registry."
Then click "OK".
xxxxx is the location of TICardBusIrqRouting.reg
5. Reboot the system
Good luck!

Airport extreme connecting with xbox 360 wireless adapter problems...help!!

Has anyone linked their xbox 360 wireless adapter to an Airport Extreme? I need help! Neither Apple nor Microsoft knew how to link the two devices. If anyone has successfully been able to make this work, your help will be much appreciated. Thanks guys

Yes - Mine works no problem. I have found that I have to unplug the Xbox360 wireless adaptor and plug it back in occasionally (if the green light is on everything is fine). Are you using the correct WPA Key?

Help Why I can not find the wireless adapter?

My thinkpad is t400 6475-r2g.
I god the brand new thinkpad.
It suppose to include the wireless adapter.
What can be the reason?

According to this page, your configuration comes with an Intel wireless card already installed. You shouldn't have to buy a new one to have wireless functionality.

Unable to Install Wireless Adapter (NIC or a USB) to Pavillion p6340a Win 7 Home Prem

I removed a working TP-Link network card from a Pavillion a1300a XP Home PC to put in my Pavillion p6340a Win 7 (64bit) Home Prem PC.
Downloaded and installed current drivers from TP-Link.
All installed well and the adaptor can be seen in under "Change Adapter Settings" in Network & Sharing Centre and shows as working properly under Device Manager but it is not recognised as a Network within Network & Sharing Centre.
Under "Manage Wireless Networks"" nothing is shown, if I then click Ädd" then Manually Create Network Profile"" I then get a very informative error message ""an unexpected error occurred".
Suspecting a problem with the NIC I deinstalled it and its drivers and tried to install a USB wireless adapter with the exact same outcome and error message. It appears there must be some OS problem or something stopping the wireless network from functioning. Both the NIC and USB adapter work fine when installed on the old Pavillion a1300a XP Home PC. Both NIC and the USB adapter have current Win7 drivers.
Any ideas as it is driving me mad. A simple 5 minute task on any other PC has turned into many.many hours with no solution.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

After many hours uninstalling re installing & trying everything under the sun in many forums, I finally found a solution. Despite trying with firewall disabled at different times the final fix was
uninstall the NIC and USB drivers and devices.
Next uninstall the AntiVirus (in this case AVG Internet Security)
reinstall the NIC and drivers
Reinstall AntiVirus
Tried the USB adapter as well whilst the antivirus was uninstalled and it installed no with problems as well.
All working fine.

Help on a wireless adapter

I have pci wireless adapter. Does anyone know if the Airlink AWLH5026 works in the dual 1.25ghz MDD powermac? Or do I need to find something else.?

The Airlink driver for that adapter seems to be Windows only. However, a quick Internet search appears to indicate that a Ralink chipset might be used. If this is true, you could possibly have some luck with a Mac driver from the Ralink site. Otherwise, another PCI card (with support for Macintosh computers) may have to be tested. Alternatively, a wireless Ethernet bridge (also known as a gaming adapter) could be connected to the Ethernet port (wireless Ethernet bridge devices do not, normally, require special drivers).

Please Help - CISCO VPN client disconnecting over wireless adapter

Hi,
I connect to my work network when at home using the CISCO VPN client. I have a wireless connection at home. My vpn conection had no problem until my laptop once dropped hitting the wireless card reader side on the floor. since then, my vpn disconnects after some time. And this also disconnects my wireless connection at home. When I am not connected to work through th eVPN, we have no problems with my wireless connection. But, when I need to work from home, my vpn keeps getting disconnected and throws me off my wireless conenction too everytime. Can someone please tell me how to check if anything is wrong with the laptop?

Ok lets see if we can clear somethings up.
Using wireless and VPN before the "Drop" was ok?
Using Wireless and no VPN after the "Drop" is fine?
Using Wireless and VPN after the "Drop" causes the wireless adapter to disconnect?
If this is correct probally the best thing to do is to remove the cisco VPN software and reinstall it.
It can't be anything to do with the "Drop" as using normal wireless is working fine you say.
and the Cisco VPN Adapter is Virtual.
Let me know how you get on.
