T60 wireless adaptor problem

Hi everybody!
I reinstalled the windows on my T60 and didn't have any problem with my Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG adaptor.
After one day it stopped working. The small green light for it doesn't turn on anymore, even if a press fn+F5.
I tried to reinstall the driver and it didn't help. I tried to find any problem in its settings, but I couldn't. I've ran out of ideas.
Can you help me,please? Has anyone ever encountered this problem or a similar one?
Thanks!

Oh, God! I'm so embarrassed!
After all these tries and installing, uninstalling, reinstalling, and doing the same thing over and over again, I discover that there is a switch for it. Sorry everybody, I have no excuse. Oh, I might have: I bought it only 5 days ago.
I thought that Maliha was talking about fn+F5, I didn't know that there was a real switch.
Excuse me again!
Thank you for your help!

  • Voyager 1055 USB Wireless adaptor problems

    I have just had a new broadband installation, with a HH3. I am changing over from an old 8Mb broadband on a different line which has a Netgear router on it. I have 3 similar Compaq PCs, 3 Iphone/iPods, and a Mac, and connected my work laptop OK to the HH3.
    The 3 PCs, 1 has a Netgear WG111v2 USP wireless adaptor which has connected OK to the HH3. The other 2 have BT Voyager 1055 USB adaptors, neither of which can see the HH3 but connect OK to the Netgear. The PC with the Netgear and one of the Voyagers are in the same room, about 4 feet apart, yet using inSSIDer2, I can see about a dozen wireless networks from all of mine and my neighbours connections, the PC 4 feet away can see only the Netgear and the Openzone from the HH3. I've switched off the Netgear, changed channels on both, reloaded drivers for the Voyager, and it makes no difference.
    Is there an issue with the Voyager 1055 that stops it seeing some networks? I've tried everything I can think of, but my last ditch effort will be to switch the routers and put the Netgear on the new broadband. The old broadband will be ceased eventually.
    Thanks

    The Voyager 1055 is a bit dated now and was originally intended for use with the BT Voyager wireless routers.
    There have not been any driver updates since it was first issued.
    I have one, and it does not like WPA2 encryption or mixed b/g/n wireless speeds.
    If you set the hub3 to use b/g only and WPA only, it should work.
    I have TP-link wireless access point and I had to use those settings to allow the 1055 to connect.
    In the end I stopped using the 1055 and used a TP-link TL-WN722N USB adapter, which also does wireless N and has an external detachable aerial.

  • Wireless adaptor problem?

    Hi
    I have had infinity activated today.
    Xbox x 2, wii, and laptop connect great no problem.
    Laptop speedtest giving me between 12 and 20 mbps.
    When I connect my pc via my TP-Link 54 mbs adaptor I struggle to get 1mbs.
    I notice my bthub3 is 802.11n, my adaptor is 802.11b
    Can my hub be changed to 802.11b?
    Do you think that is what is causing my problem?
    help..please
    cheers

    You need wireless n to get the best speeds out of Infinity.
    In THIS POST I wrote about the problems I was getting over wireless.-
    "I have just had Infinity installed (one week birthday... lol)
    Anyhow just to let you know some things I tried for a  similar (but not as slow) situation.-
    1 year old  (windows 7 Netbook with it's internal wireless "n" card speed tests in the 30 to 37Mb range.
    3 year old Vista laptop with internal wireless g tested  around 20Mb.
    2 year old windows 7 laptop with internal wireless g tested around 20Mb.
    Installed an Edimax wireless adapter in.-
    3 year old Vista laptop, turned the internal wireless off and now speed tests  in the 30 to 37Mb range.
    2 year old windows 7 laptop, turned the internal wireless off and still speed tests  around 20Mb!!!!!
    Tried a D-Link 140 adapter with the same result.
    Further investigation by going into the Laptop's "Network and sharing centre" and then clicking on "wireless network connection" showed in the "General" information that the speed was only 54Mbps. THe same speed when it was using it's internal wireless g.
    (The Netbook shows 72Mbps and the upgraded Vista laptop 65Mbps).
    So still having a wireless card/adapter speed of 54Mbps meant I could not achieve the full Infinity speed.
    Lots of mucking around downloading driver updates and swapping types of wireless adapters didn't cure the problem.... but I have found a work around.
    The Edimax allows me to turn the wireless off and on with a click of the mouse.
    So if I click the wireless of and on two or three times, maybe a max of five times, eventually it comes up with a speed of 65Mbps and stays on that speed setting constantly, allowing me to work wirelessly at the full 35Mbps Infinity speed. (If laptop is set to sleep or turned off then when it is bought back on I then have to switch the wireless a few times again)."

  • 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?

  • Is NewerTech Wireless Adaptor known to fail on iMac G5, ISO 10.4.11?

    I have a G5 iMac PPC with a Newer Tech Wireless Adaptor which is showing that my LAN is acitve (but vacilating off and on).  Is there a way to test to see if the stick is faullty?  At one time, last week, it was changing from my LAN to that of my neighbors.  Today it just switches from on to off and back to on but FF and Safari won't connect.  My other computers access the internet with no problem.

    Hi a brody!  I have a wireless mouse and a wired keyboard and the NT Ethernet Adaptor.  I had this problem before and got it fixed then it recurred this week.  I went back and found the thread where I fixed it and got it going but when I turned it on this pm it was baulky again.  Is there a way to test the stick?
    I think I just discovered why it was failing to maintain a connection today.  I had an email that I wanted to keep and still wanted it off my mail list in my other coumputer (iMac Intel 21")   I had the page on both the monitors, I deleted it on the Intel and FireFox broke the connection on the PPC but kept the page on the monitor.  I restarted the page and FF reconnected sans the page in question so I guess it's all well now.  There are so many things I don't know about these machines I seem to keep getting into trouble with them.  Can I have mail delivered to both machines then toss it on one machine and keep it on the other?

  • Broadband/internet and wireless connection problem...

    Towards the end of 2101 I received an email informing me that BT would be upgrading my local line and I could expect a much improved service. Whether this 'upgrade' has been the cause of my problems or is merely coincidental I cannot say. Prior to my experience since this time I could count lost broadband in hours per year (I never had internet or wireless connection problems). 
    Since the end of 2010 I now regularly lose my broadband completely every six to eight weeks. 'Home Hub cannot connect to broadband.' There is a worsening loss of speed? over a period of two to four days at the end of which I need to phone BT three/four/five, etc. times until they manage to locate the problem and fix it. It is always some problem they find on the line or with their equipment.
    I always mention that this is an ongoing problem. Never do they take any action to escalate the issue.
    This week things have become considerably worse.
    I have started to lose my internet connection now. 'Safari cannot connect to the internet'.
    There are now two issues which arise concurrently.
    I phoned BT, finally the operative in India (through a very poor BT wireless phone connection) changed the channel of my router for me. He mentioned something about changing the address and password. This seriously exacerbated the situation. My password is not recognised now when I am asked to reconnect by selecting a network.
    The next occasion on which I lost my INTERNET connection and tried to reconnect I got the message 'Airport has the self-assigned IP address (...........) and is unable to connect to the internet.
    I phoned BT to report this and was told that this indicated an adapter problem and the problem was now out of BT's hands. I Should contact Apple. 
    I did so. Apple said I should contact BT to change channels. I explained this had caused the problem and they were now refusing to assist me. Apple tried everything that they could think of to resolve the issue (despite not being required to do so). Eventually the only suggestion they could make as BT had refused to help was to reinstall my operating system. Extremely drastic. But I can now connect wirelessly again.
    Service is still intermittent requiring constant restarts to regain connections.
    BT's response to a formal complaint was more of the usual banal questions, the usual tests, the usual promises of 'something would be done'.
    Their systems are not set up to make any sort of accurate diagnosis of customers' issues. They seem to have a set number of 'fixes' into which they try to fit all problems - one would assume simply to save costs - their cost saving exercises are now costing me money.
    That's all for starters.
    Any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem, since BT "upgraded my broardband" my home hub looses internet connection at least twice a day and I have to power reset it. the broadband shows as connected but the internet connection is lost, if I try reconnecting it fails and only a power resetr will work. I have a temp solution by fitting a time switch to the mains adaptor and reseting it at 0200 each day. but before the upgrade the home hub had worked for years and no problems. i have also replaced the origonal home hub 1 with a home hub 2 to see if that improves the situation.
    welcome to the forum
    This subject has been marked as solved by the originator and you will get more response if you start your own subject rather than continue here.
    if you start your own subject just cut and paste your post and then in order to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com and post the results .
    are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Do you have any phone extension sockets in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

  • Can't boot with wireless adaptor installed

    Hi all,
    I've had a problem for several years with this; I'm finally getting around to dealing with it now.
    I have a Pismo G3, OS X 10.4.8, and I've never been able to get the machine to recognize a wireless adaptor (both a RaLink USB one I just bought, and a D-Link DWL-650X before) if the adaptor was plugged into the laptop when it powered up. The only way to make it work is to boot the machine without the adaptor installed, then plug in the device (either the PC card or the USB device) after I'm in the finder. In fact, with the former PC card, if I didn't remove the card at startup, the OS would NEVER see the card; at least with the USB adaptor, I could pull it out and put it back in after startup and it would still work.
    There's got to be a way to make this work; because I had the problem with two different cards, and two different drivers, using two different interfaces, I'm thinking it has something to do with the hardware/firmware of the Powerbook itself.
    I would even be happy if someone could just give me a script that I could set to run at startup that would just cause the USB port to THINK that it got a device plugged into it (some kind of "re-scan the ports). The device itself is getting power - I can see the light on it, and the other USB devices that are plugged in at startup (like the printer) work fine.
    Any suggestions?

    BigBoote66,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    This is not an uncommon problem with the black G3 powerbooks although I cannot say it is universal; there is just not a large enough base of complaints on these boards to say none of the WiFi cards avoids this problem. My Wallstreet refuses to boot to either 9.x or 10.x with the Buffalo 54Mbps card. Some Pismo owners have to insert the WiFi PC card during a certain phase of the boot to get the card to work. This all appears to be related to the firmware contained on the PC card.
    I might suggest this: Call OWC and speak to a technician about the Sonnet Aria Extreme...ask if this particular card avoids your issues. This is a well-regarded, natively-compatible WiFi card which uses the Broadcom chipset. OWC also used to sell the Buffalo AirStation, the card I use, but recent, subtle changes in its firmware introduced the startup problem.

    Possibly someone will also post here with the name of a fully compatible card.

  • Satellite A660 - Broadcom internal wireless adaptor is not working

    Hi all,
    My first post to this board - I have a new Toshiba Satellite A660 notebook - have only had it for about 4 weeks and it has turned out to be a disaster for me...
    FIRST - I spend weeks getting everything on and configured the way I want it - then the hard disk starts to die...
    I just got it back from the Toshiba service centre and NOW the wifi has stopped working...
    The internal broadcom wireless adaptor is not working - but according to windows and the built in diagnostics it IS working...
    HOWEVER - when I try to use wireless with the built in adaptor it can't detect any wireless networks...
    I then plug in my backup usb netgear wireless adaptor and I can pick up and connect to both of my home wireless networks...
    I am going overseas in a few weeks and need to know that my notebook is going to work/be reliable and not have any more problems - if anyone can help me with this it would be much appreciated.
    John.

    A further update for you all...
    Okay - went back to the Toshiba service centre - the first dead hard disk was replaced by them - but the REAL problem not spotted - it looks like my laptop came out of the Toshiba factory with a faulty motherboard - this in turn has now fried the second hard drive - and now - with a new motherboard and THIRD hard drive it looks like the hardware side of things MIGHT just be solved - but NOW I still have the problem that because the motherboard has been screwed since day one (I only bought this laptop in November 2010) it has basically stuffed/corrupted all of my backups - so now the service centre is charging me 60 dollars to get a set of disks so I can re-image the system myself when I have the chance - and then spend a month putting back all the applications and configuration and data the way I had it after the first few weeks of buying it (at that stage I thought I was good to go and had the perfect new laptop and setup for work...)
    So - I'm heading off overseas in a couple of weeks - my 3 year extended warranty from Australia will not be of any use to me where I am going - not covered - but am STILL hopeful that I'll get the rest of the problems sorted - still can't run the toshiba hdd protection software for more than a few days without it dying and having to be reinstalled and the toshiba pc health monitor does not work at all - when I go to install it it doesn't recognize the bios or whatever - and on top of that I'm using third party hard disk monitoring software (because the toshiba stuff doesn't work on this toshiba laptop - but the third party stuff does) - well, anyway - the third party software is telling me the hard disk has reallocated sectors count error - and there is a CAUTION showing all the time - which I guess indicates that there is now a hard drive problem with the third hard disk (?)
    Anyway - if ANYONE has had a similar run of bad luck to mine with the A660/O7U - I'd really like to know...

  • Trouble installing USB wireless adaptor & Network settings.

    We have a 17" iMac flat panel, 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. We just upgraded the memory to 1 GB. We're running 10.4.11
    Dh wants to use his iPod Touch and share the internet connection with our G4. We purchased the following USB wireless adaptor by MAXPower:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP802NU2C/
    We installed the software, but cannot figure out how to set it up from there.
    Never mind that for now. Dh says he sees a second computer in the near future and thinks we need a proper wireless network.
    I was going to uninstall the MAXPower software and I can't figure that out either. I found the Uninstall icon, but it is asking me for a password. @@
    The thing that concerns me is when I go to System Preferences---> Network, a window pops down saying "Your Network Settings Have Been Changed By Another Application". When I click OK, the window goes up, then immediately comes back down. I can't close the window, or close System Preferences without Force Quitting.
    Dh is voting for bagging the MAXPower, getting an Airport Extreme Card and an Airport Extreme Base Station.
    I want to fix the glitch in Network.
    Ideas?

    hey there chelap,
    had a similar problem w/ an iMac 800 MHz G4. it was caused by me switching a USB printer to an Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g, from its port on the iMac-- iMac too old, it used 802.11 b. it changed "network settings". try d/c'ing the device & delete the software to see if this eliminates the annoying screen popping off/on.
    i'm not familiar w/ this product you're trying to use but, in reading the product page it doesn't create a Wi-Fi network, it lets you use a Mac w/ out a Wi-Fi card to connect to a Wi-Fi network--this product isn't a Wi-Fi router which you need for what it sounds like you're trying to do. i agree w/ Dh about the AE card(can be found fairly lo-$$ on eBay & pretty simple to install), though this device may work once you have established a Wi-Fi network & the AEBS, even an Airport Express will work as a base station to create a Wi-Fi network. also sharing an internet connection isn't quite the same as having a local Wi-Fi network. having a local network provides more options like using the iPod Touch + the Remote app to control iTunes or Front Row(an app) should you run Mac OS X Leopard/Snow Leopard on this &/or a later model Mac(G5 or Intel) as well as stream audio/video, share other kinds of files to the 2nd Mac.
    good luck.

  • Belkin USB wireless adaptor drivers

    Does anyone know where I can get a driver for the belkin usb wireless adaptor? The one listed on their website only works with OSX 10.3 and not 10.4 installed on this machine? do apple provide any third party drivers for this problem? The machine is out of its applecare period so I can't ask apple themselves.
    Thanks

    If Belkin doesn't have a driver compatible with 10.4 you're out of luck. Apple does not provide drivers for third party hardware.

  • Wireless connectivity problems using IOS 6.0.2?

    After installing IOS 6.0.2 on my iPhone 5 I can no longer connect to known wireless sites.  I've been through troubleshooting with both Apple and my ISP and no luck.  I'm thinking there's wireless connectivity problems with this latest update (my iPad 3 is still running 6.0.1 and is fine on my wireless network). Are others having this issue as well?

    I am not guaranteeing this fix , but it worked for me , so far. I have an iphone 5 and it had ios 6.0.1 . Worked fine. Upgraded to 6.0.2 and it wouldn't connect with home router most of the time. My son in law an IT guy for the Government came up with a solution. The problem seemed most likely with routers that are bought and not configured and retain the original factory settings. Therefore my phone considers my home network a generic one and I have to manually connect to it. To distinguish the network we did the following.
    1) went to settings on my iphone
    2) choose "my home network" by pushing the arrow on the right
    3) This brought up the network info page. (it says "forget this network " at the top)
    4)DHCP will probably be highlighted.
    5) touch "static"
    6) This will bring up the manual settings
    7) We entered the following.
    For Ip Address 192.168.1.15
    Subnet Mask  255.255.255.0
    Router 192.168.1.1
    DNS 4.2.2.1,4.2.2.2,8.8.8.8
    Leave the HTTP Proxy to off
    This will assign a static Ip address not a dynamic one and should work.
    If it doesn't , go back to step 3 and select DHCP and return to the dynamic state .
