T61 Wireless Repeatedly Turns Off Windows Control

Upgraded firmware in my wireless router, and now my T61 can't connect wirelessly.
Wireless Network Connection is properly identified, Signal Strength is Excellent, speed is 54 Mbps. Status is Limited or no connectivity.
Something keeps turning off my Wireless Zero Configuration Service. EIf I start it manually, and check off "Use Windoes to configure my wireless network setting,", I get wireless access back. But those actions get reversed when I reboot the computer.
What can be causing this?
In case it's relevant, the Lenovo PC Doctor 5 wireless troubleshooting test fails on the TCP/IP Network Connection Test, saying "Cannot Run". That happens even if I've gotten my wireless connection working.

Hello,
Have you tried upgrading the ThinkPad T61's wireless drivers as well?  If so, did that make any difference?
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky

  • This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of server

    This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. I have a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of servers and trying to reconnect this way. These methods have worked temporarily, but the same problem keeps coming back. Most of the time my personal wireless connection does not even come up among the list of available networks. My fellow flatmates have PCs and both of them are able to connect to the network without problem.
    The router is a d-link model DIR-615. I am not tech savy, so if any other information need to be provided in order to better understand my situation, please let me know.
    Please help me!

    If I open the list of networks in a window it says "connection timeout," but if I just select it from the drop down it tries for awhile and then stops with no prompt. When I try to run network diagnostics it says "sorry, we can't connect to the internet" (or some solution-free variation of that)

  • How to turn off voice control with iPhone 5s with iOS 8

    I Dropped my phone in the tub, I have an otterbox on it but it didn't do the phone any good :/. I dried it off and the home button started acting up. And now it doesnt work when i hit it. But the Touch ID still works. However randomly voice control will pop up and call random people when i don't even touch it. I tried going into restrictions > Siri and turning it off I turned off voice

    Otterbox cases are not waterproof and are not advertised to be so. For that, you need a Lifeproof case or similar.
    If you turn off Siri, Voice Control is enabled. The only way to turn off Voice Control is to turn Siri back on. Your phone has been damaged by immersion in liquid and may never work properly again. Sorry.

  • Lightroom Developer turn off Windows 8.1 itself - Developer sammuttaa koneen

    Lightroom Developer turn off Windows 8.1 itself
    At first, I downloaded the pictures; Import pictures work properly and I can see the downloaded image on my desktop.  Next, I press the Developer button in and the PC computer restart/shutdown!!!
    Operating system is Windows 8.1 / 64 bit, RAM 16  GB, nVidia - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3, with  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 card. Lightroom is installed SSD-drive (C:\) and Lightroom_Catalog is HDD drive D:\Lightroom. All my images are d:\pictures\..  folders or subfolders. What's the matter - what should I do?
    Same in Finnish
    Lightroom Developer sammuttaa koneen
    Kuvat onnistuu ladata työpöydälle moitteetta. Kun painan ladatun kuvan kohdalla Developer-painiketta, koko Windows kaatuu/käynnistyy uudestaan. Muistia pitäisi olla riittävästi. Mitä tehdä, missä vika?

    Hmm, not sure I completely understand now. What exactly simultaneously should mean in this context? The thing is that it seems there's no chance in getting the connection to work when I first turn on the client on my Windows computer. The other way (starting on my Linux computer) it works just fine, and I am able to connect from my Windows to my Linux anytime.
    Also I'm not sure that this is the problem, cause it seems that same problem apply to connection to other computers as well (however this impression is based on a testing with just a very few tries, so I'll try to test it more soon).
    Thanks for the explaining anyway!

  • M276nw wireless radio turns off

    Every day after work, my brand-new M276nw's wireless radio turns off. The blue wireless light blinks, and the printer needs to be restarted for it to work again. All ecoSMART settings are turned off, and otherwise everything seems to be fine.

    Sarten, sounds like you are having some issues with your printer and your network. Have you tried re-running the wireless setup wizared and then applying a static/manual IP address? Here is an informational video on the basics of how to do this.

  • Can't turn off motion control

    Hello everyone,
    First time on here.  Just got a u410.  Anyway I downloaded adobe reader.  When I opened it I got a message that said motion control can be enabled for this application.  So curiously, I turned it on.  But now I don't know how to turn it off.  Everyone time I open adobe reader, the camera automatically turns off.  How can I turn off motion control?

    Seriously?! There has to be a simple way to switch off the quite annoying Lenovo Motion Control...?
    I have now been using it for a while, but in general iit is more of a nuissance - any movement in front of the screen when presenting makes the slideshow jump ahead or back.
    If I click the little message in the top right corner announciing that motion control is activated (it says something like "click here to configure") absolutely nothing happens.  If I click the Motion Control icon (on the Start page) the computer switches back to the last program used, no matter what it was, and then nothing else happens...
    What is the right way to really switch this function on/off...???
    Sorry, but my suggestion does not apply to your situation. I responded to the original post. I have not read your problem when I made the suggestion. You should know that. Maybe you should try openning a different thread, not bump the orginal one.

  • Power & Wireless LEDs turn off on WRT54GX2

    Over the past week, this has happened 6 times: the power and wireless LEDs turn off, the ethernet(1) and internet LEDs flicker like mad.  While it's like that, all LAN and WAN traffic is disabled.  It is connected to a DSL modem and the LEDs there appear normal.  If I cycle power on the router, it returns to normal.  I have not yet connected this behavior to any special events on my LAN.  Does anyone have a suggestion?

    You should Upgrade your router's firmware...
    Download Firmware 3.70 MB...Firmware Ver.1.01.22...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • Wireless radio turns off every 2 minutes

    I have a Thinkpad Z60t, running Windows XP.
    I have the physical wireless switch on the side panel set to the on position (i.e. to the right).
    Initially, I am able to connect to any wireless network without a problem. However, after about 2 minutes of not actively using the internet, the green "wireless radio" status light on the front panel turns off and I lose my internet connection. I then have to do "Fn + F5" (or ThinkVantage button -> Manage My Connections -> Power On/Off Wireless Radios) to turn it back on (and get the status light to be green again). I then have to reconnect to the wireless network.
    I believe this is a common issue. I have tried several suggestions I found on other forums, including ThinkVantage button -> Manage My Connections -> Select Location Profiles -> Open Access Connections -> Configure -> Location Switching -> UNSELECT "Enable automatic location switching". This method actually seemed to work for a few hours, but then stopped.
    I am certain that my wireless network is stable - my roommate's laptop does not lose the signal every 2 minutes like I do. I think my laptop's wireless radio automatically shuts off after 2 minutes of no use, and this feature needs to be disabled somehow.
    Please help. I am getting frustrated of having to manually reconnect every 2 minutes.

    Go to Solution.

    open control panel, go under system, hardware/system property, then go into the device manager.
    Under the wireless card property (right click on the wireless card and select property), there are settings for roaming aggressiveness, power saving and power output.

  • How can I turn off sound controll whele on the Satellite A200

    How can I turn off the external sound controll in front of laptop - the wheel? It does not work, sound volume is permanently muted.
    OS: MS Windows XP
    Thanks

    Thank you Jaba,
    it is Toshiba Satellite A200 Series. Drivers, its configuration and configuration of operating system is OK. The wheel is mechanical damaged, so that is the point. I have to disable its function in operating system. But where can I disable it? I have tried to uninstall Toshiba utilities (controls, hotkeys), reinstall drivers. I have tried to find an option in BIOS, there was no one.
    btw: I am a linux administrator, but I have advanced knowledge of windows systems so you can be short.

  • Wireless adapter turned off, wont enable

    Hi, I got this Lenovo x201 AC4 yesterday. I installed Ubuntu 11.04, used the wireless till today morning. But then suddenly the wireless icon with LED turned off and wont turn on again and I cannot access any network right now. 
    Tried restarting, but no help.
    It got disabled when the laptop was running on battery battery power.
    I saw another similar thread, but the questioneer was using Windows. As the wireless adapter is turned off, I cannot even find and re-enable it from inside ubuntu. 
    Any help?
    Update: The wifi led doesnt blink at the time of POST. The bluetooth one does.

    I am not sure if I can really help you (I do not have a x201), but since no one else answered yet. I try to give some advices.
    The most easiest way to activate the Wireless adapter on Ubuntu is on the right upper corner of your desktop in the wireless menu. but i assume that did not function.
    A second method to enable Wireless is to activate it with the key combination Fn+F5, by pressing multiple times you activate and deactivate wireless and bluetooth. Pressing once activates Wireless.
    there is also the possibility you deactivated wireless by switching the button on the left side just right from your yellow usb-port. Thats a hardware switch for your wireless, when turned of there is no possibility to activate wireless unless you switch it from red position to green position.
    sorry thats all, if there is a driver problem i can not help...

  • Tactic3D Rage Wireless Constantly Turns Off while Charging

    I got the Tactic3D Rage Wireless a couple of years ago and it has had many problems from the time I received it. I eventually got the others fixed, or mostly fixed, but this one has been annoying me increasingly in the past few months.
    The headset not only rapidly connects and disconnects with Windows 8 (I think it is a problem with windows and not the headset for this one), but it also turns off the second I turn it on while charging. This makes the headset completely useless when I am charging it. This would not be as bad, but now the headset will not actually charge when it is on its charger. After it "charges" for a few hours, I take it off of the charger and I immediately begin to hear the beeping, notifying me that the headset is low on battery.
    I finally made an account on these forums after a couple of days failing at searching for this problem with others so now I am posting this. Help is greatly needed for I don't want to be forced to spend more money on another headset if I can get this one fixed. Please reply with any questions I have not answered, and have a good day.

    Hi Logo594
    You may want to refer to this article, specifically the last paragraph of the article regarding charging.
    http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowA...spx?sid=111092
    You also mentioned that this headset is at least a couple of years old, so it is possible that the battery
    does not hold its charge well. If this still does not work, You may contact Support here.
    Cheers,
