T61 Wireless Turns Off

My T61 ( Windows XP ) wireless interface turns off after few seconds without any message , the wireless network gets disconnected and when entering the wireless interface control screen , the card is turned off.
Any Idea nor solution ?

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

Wireless turned off on laptop

I have an hp gateway lap top computer I think model E56R49u, and believe my wireless is turned off and there is no button to click on or anything. Can anybody help?

Hi grazier2102, welcome to the HP Forums. The part number you provided refers to an HP ProLiant. If this is correct, it is a commercial product and would be better addressed in the commercial forums.
It sounds more like you have a Gateway product, if that is the case, I suggest you contact Gateway, who are not affiliated with HP.
Thanks.

T61 Wireless Shuts Off

I bought it a year ago, and about a month ago the wireless radio shuts off, and will not turn back on, even when I use the switch, or go into the Netwwork Connections and tell it to enable the wireless radio. I have tried downloading new drivers, and updating the Access Connection center. Also have tried making the wireless the main choice with in the Access Connections, but it will not save the changes, and chooses the LAN line. I think the computer "stops" using the wireless, shuts it off, and then tries to use the LAN line, which is not connected.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks.

PROBLEM: My T61 is about 1.5yrs old and the wireless also started crashing about 1mo ago...when it does crash, right clicking the wireless icon (in system tray) and choosing the 'Diagnose and repair' function does not fix the problem...in fact, most times when the wireless crashes, the wireless icon is not selectable (and if i try to right click it, this causes the whole system to hang)..none of the other menu driven solutions fix the problem (if anything, it crashes the computer)...it also cannot be fixed by physically cycling the off/on switch for the wireless...a wireless crash can only be temporarily fixed by fully rebooting...however, sometimes after a reboot following a wireless crash, the whole system will crash, i.e., yesterday during reboot i got a BLACK screen of death (not the typical BlueSOD, instead the LCD lost power) and it hung for an eternity (i could here the drive and fan running) so i had to unplug the power cord and battery to reset things...none of this crashing during reboot BS ever happened until yesterday after using ThinkVantage System Update.
SETUP: running Vista Business with SP1, 2gb ram, sometimes 4gb of ReadyBoost is used but not since having the wireless problem...no other problem with this T61 except USB 2.0 performance is pitiful (a well known Vista problem)...no virus or adware/spyware detected during recent scans.
UPGRADES: Until yesterday, i avoided updating my T61 using ThinkVantage System Update because the updates seemed to be a waste of space and often degraded performance and/or caused real problems...and because the ThinkVantage suite, as a whole, seems to slow down Vista (it's so much slower than XP Pro), I had uninstalled or deactivated as much of the ThinkVantage suite as possible.
Therefore, as i hadn't installed any ThinkVantage updates in over a year, i can say with 99% confidence the wireless problem is due to a Vista or IE7 updates...the 1% unconfidence could point to a update/upgrade to Firefox 3.x which maybe took place around similar time the wireless started going bad (Anyone suspect problems with FF3.0 on T61???).
Due to the wireless card problem, i decided to install all available upgrades using the ThinkVantage System Update yesterday and it didn't fix anything...in fact, i'd say the wireless card now crashes more often (i've had to reboot 6-8 times since yesterday).
ALSO the PowerManager crashed on start up even though it's worked flawlessly for 1.5yrs...so i'd say PowerManager 2.37 should be avoided. Yes...i tried to uninstall, reboot, and reinstall PM 2.37 but it still crashes.
If it matters to any techies, during yesterday's upgrade, i included the most recent BIOS upgrade (i can't remember the version)...who knows what problems this is causing.
Solutions?

Wireless turning off during Video Streaming/Online...

Hey all. I thought I'd ask around here because.. well, everywhere else has been entirely useless for me so far, barring improving my reception.
Basically, I'm currently having an issue where whenever I try to run a game that uses online features, even something as minimal as leaderboards, I lose all of my connectivity to the wireless, and it won't return again until I quit the game, or stop doing whatever is requesting the use of my internet. I also occasionally get this when streaming videos, such as YouTube, but in this instance it's a lot less regular. On top of all of this, my computer seems to be the only thing affected in the house. I've tried doing the same on another laptop, and using things such as my iPod, DS, PSP, and 360 in my room (Which, whilst suffering from poor connection and disconnects still, it doesn't seem to be when doing anything relating to gaming).
I've spent the past week trying out different things that were availible to me to see what the issue could be, and so far I've tried: Moving my computer across the room (It's a desktop, so moving it anywhere is difficult), Trying 3 different wireless adaptors at my house and in another PC at another house (Belkin F5D8010, Belkin F5D8013, and a Sitecom N Wireless USB), changing operating system, changing channels on the hub, and lowering encryption on the hub.
Had a few talks with Belkin, and they're pinning all the blame on the hub, and the fishtank between me and the hub, but I find it weird that the problem would be those, when I only lose connection whilst gaming. Anyone got any ideas? Please?

How to completely turn off Bluetooth and Wireless

Hey everybody,
I'm running Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp and I was wondering if anyone can assist me in how to completely turn off Bluetooth and Wireless connectivity so that I can reserve as much batter life while being in class taking notes without a plug-in source, but not uninstall. I know there is a Bluetooth control panel and I disabled it there but under "connect to" its still remains there. Basically I want to have the Bluetooth and Wireless turned off completely when I startup and still have the icons shown in the taskbar to let me know that they are still there.
Thanks!

Joergen Thomson, I can see that you have the same thoughts like I do, I wish they could release a software that is stable and better then this.
I dont have the energi or time to report all flaus back to cisco, this product have taking to much of my time and frustration already. Thank you so much for all the time you spend to try get this product stable and hopefully a good product.
I have a costumer that have a webservice that is IP restricted, For now I have to define more then 93 policys openening for the same service because this doesnt handle address list and groups. And all the times I had to set it back to factory default becasue of HTTP Admin server stopped, VPN Problem, Firmware Upgrades, "Packet Loss" and so on takes alot of time becasue I need to reconfig policies back.
For now to they release a firmware is stable I have take this piece off the network and put the back a old Fortinet 60 box.

Should DHCP be turned off on DSL Modem?

I have an AEBS (5th gen) and an Airport Express in a roaming configuration (connected by ethernet cabling) as directed by Apple's article HT4260. An Actiontec GT701-WG is my DSL modem with the wireless turned off. I assumed DHCP should've been turned on on the Actiontec because this function was being performed by the AEBS. However, after a day the AEBS wouldn't connect to the internet so I turned DHCP "on" on the Actiontec and AEBS now connects. My fear is this will cause problems down the road (two devices performing DHCP).
Thanks for the help. I'm not tech savy and would like to finish the setup properly.
Jeff

In a roaming network, you would want the router directly connected to the Internet to have both NAT & DHCP enabled ... even if you want its wireless disabled. All other routers downstream of this router should be in bridge mode (NAT & DHCP disabled). If you haven't seen it already, you may want to use this Apple Support article as a reference.

AirPort turns off by itself and won't turn on without restart

Hi
I noticed that for a week or so, just few days prior to upgrade to Snow Leopard my (fully updated) MacBook Pro's wireless turns off for no apparent reason. When that happenes I cannot turn it on unless I restart the computer. I tried several solutions, from checking whether this is just an incompatibility issue with one of the applications I have, and non of the ones proved to cause the problem. I erased airport preferences, reset the PRAM, took the battery out and work on direct supply, but no change in behavior.
Now, if anyone have any idea that might work I'll try some options before taking it to service center.
Thanks in advance.

I'm getting this same problem on a 5 day old new MacBook pro 15". However I found the "airport" utility.
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resource s/airport
You can turn on logging by using this command
sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resourc es/airport debug +AllUserLand +AllDriver +AllVendor +LogFile
Then any airport events will be logged. I happened to have a quick working and then failing error log after turning it on, and it turns out that the problem happens when the Airport receives a false power down message somehow. My network stopped working at 00:13:50

Etc...
What's interesting is Alarm Clock is working fine doing its normal thing, and then it gets the system will sleep message. So it sets a power event like it normally does (and this works fine usually when I close the lid and Airport comes back up) but this time I didn't close the lid.
Also the last message of 00:13:35 says "System SafeSleep" so the OS is obviously sleeping
It says that "Wake reason = EC LID0", which sounds like it thinks the Lid (screen) was lifted. And it also says "Previous Sleep Cause: 5".
I wonder what 5 means?
Does anyone else with this issue get similar logs?

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?

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!
lennydas

Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

HP Photosmart 7515 wireless printer reverts to Offline, won't print until turned off and on again.

All of the software is installed and it worked without any problem. The problem appears to occur after the computer has gone into standby. The only way I can get anything to print is to turn it off the printer and then turn it back on again. The troubleshooter simply tells me that the printer appears to be off (which it isn't) and tells me to turn it on. Is there any way to bring an offline printer back online without either rebooting the whole system or turning the printer off and on again? Needless to say, this is very annoying. I have never had this problem with any other printer.

CampValdez, did you ever solve your problem? I'm having a similar problem with a Photosmart 7525. I just returned a 7510 because of the same problem and now the 7525 won't work. I've spent the better part of 3 days on the phone with HP tech support to no avail and I'm ready to take the 7525 back. The software and printer have been reinstalled many times. I've changed the printer IP to a static IP. I've removed my Norton security software, I've tried to set it up on another computer, I've changed the channel on the router to channel 11 and nothing works for more than 10 minutes. The blue light on the printer indicating that it is on the network always is steady blue. I can get it to work by pressing the wireless symbol and then turning off the wireless and then turning it back on. When it's working I can access the printer from my web browser with the printer's IP. It seems once it goes to sleep, I cannot access the printer from the browser. Touching the screen and waking up the printer does not restore the communication between the computer and the printer. Since this problem persists with two printers and two different computers, I'm suspecting a router setting but I'm stumped. If you find your solution, I bet it's the same problem I'm having. It's unbelieveable that HP tech support seems clueless. A search shows this is not an uncommon problem.

How do you turn off a wireless keyboard?

After the G5 iMac died, I bought a refurbished Intel 21.5" iMac from Apple. The wireless keyboard that comes with is fine but I prefer my wired USB keyboard with numeric keypad, etc.
So I want to put the wireless one away. Every time I push the power button, the green light comes on for a few seconds and the keyboard is still operational. I finally took the batteries out but that is a silly way to shut a device off.

Took some trying.
Press ne time on is on, it will first go in pairing mode if not set up, or simply connect.
To turn off, press the button and the led will go on. Keep pressed until the led goes of and the keyboard is now turned off.
To pair with another device, turn on and keep the on button pressed until the led flashes green. Now you can pair it with another device, like your iphone on the go.

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections. For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb. These terrible download speed really only affects the iPhones as my MacBook Pro usually gets the good speed no matter where it is. I don't believe there is anything wrong with my phone because if I am in the part of the house that uses just the extreme the download speeds on the iphone goes up to 50-75mb. As a note I have an AirPort Extreme on the top floor of my house (second floor) that's where my modem is located. On the first floor that's where one airport express is located. I also have another airport express in the basement that is accessed by my landlord. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful.

It appears that your networking goals with the AirPort Express is to use it as a wireless Ethernet bridge instead of using it to extend the wireless range of your AirPort Extreme. The latter requires that the Express Wi-Fi radios be enabled.
If you intended to use the Express as a wireless bridge, you just need to reconfigure it to "Join a wireless" network instead of "Extend a wireless network."
For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb.
In an extended network, the placement of the extending base station is critical as it can only extend the wireless network at the bandwidth at which it receives it.
Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on optimal base station placement.

Hi,
You may not have a wireless network adapter.
If it is not in Network Adapters and you have no Device Manager errors or disabled devices under Network Adapters then that would be the case.

To sync WIRED, need to turn off WIRELESS feature on BB. HOW?

The Desktop Mgr says to turn off the WIRELESS feature on my Curve 8310 in order to sync with my home laptop. On the BB, where is this nonwireless/wireless feature? I'm trying to sync thru the USB port with a cable. Previously this Curve was synched wirelessly to an employer's computer at a job I no longer have.

Well you can do one of 2 things:
Go into the database (Calendar, Address Book, etc), hit the menu button, choose Options. From there you can turn the Wireless Synchronization Off. You can leave the settings to Off for each database that you want to synchronize with.
You can follow these steps to remove the IT policy from your phone. This will remove any polices that may still be in effect on your device when it was connected to your company's BES. Doing so will take those wireless synchronization lines off of your phone. http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/Remove_IT_Policy
