Very unstable WIFI connection on Satellite A200 PSAE4E

Just had my A100 Equium replaced with an A200 satellite pro and for some reason I am struggling to get it connected to my WiFi network. I had the old laptop connected fine and was using channel 11 on my WAP.
Now having tried to connect my new laptop I am finding the connection very unstable. I have tried different channel numbers and these have worked mainly the lower numbers, but have proved slow and unreliable. I have other laptops which are fine using my WAP on channel 11.
Anybody else suffered this trouble and what's the solution.
Netgear WAP wg602. No firmware upgrade available

Hi mate
I believe that you known very well that its not easy to say exactly what could causes this WLan interruption.
As far as I know this notebook was delivered with Vista OS. I have read that the Vista OS need to be updated to the latest state and Microsoft patches and fixes must be installed to fix different Wifi issues.
Note that the patches must be updated using the Microsoft update website!
Furthermore I would recommend updating the WLan driver and to check if there could be an compatibility issue between the internal minPCI WLan card and your WLan router. You could also try to check if the WLan works fine without any additional encryption settings.
Best regards and Happy New year ;)

VERY unstable WiFi connection Xperia Z2 5.0.2

Hello,
For some reason my wifi connection is either very slow, or there isn't any connection. And when it does connect, it is REALLY slow, and then it drops.
I get really frustrated because on my other devices such as an asus notebook and a Samsung tablet it works like a charm.

I notice the same thing with the latest firmware (28) sometimes while connected to my home wifi network. When I'm outside, my phone will show a full connection, or 3/4 bars, but there's no Internet access. If I toggle wifi off and on, it sometimes kick starts it, sometimes doesn't do anything. When I'm inside, I have no issues. It's almost as if the wifi icon is buggy. As if it doesn't show a true reading of the wifi signal strength.

How to connect my Satellite A200 with a Philips LCS TV?

Hi, I have problems to connect my Satellite A200 1E1 with a Philips 32 PF9967D LCD-TV HD ready.
The manuals recommend a HDMI extension that is unfortunately not availble with my Laptop.
However, isn't is possible to use a S-Video connection instead? I could accept a reduced quality. When I connect the Laptop with the TV, I have the impression that the Satellite does not send any signal out. The "FN F5" combination does not show the opportunity to switch between the screens. Once I connected a beamer and had no problems at all with switching between beamer, laptop screen or both.
Any comments would be highly appreciated, thanks a lot in advance.

Hello
In user manuals is written in almost each chapter about ports or slots a short comment: depending on configuration. That means that this users manuals can be used for different A200 notebook models.
Every notebook delivered with HD-DVD optical disc drive has also an HDMI port. According the notebook specification your notebook has no HD-DVD ODD and because of that there is also no HDMI port.
For TV-out there is sonly one port S-Video. Using this port you can send video signal to your TV. I have LCD TV too and I have used it many times with my A200 notebook. It is very simply but be sure you use the right channel (S-Video) on your TV. Using FN+F5 key combination you can switch to the TV.
If this does not work you are doing something wrong.

Thinkpad T440p unstable wifi connection

I purchased a Thinkpad T440p during last Christmas. I always have unstable wifi connection. I have updated all the drivers, changed to different wifi enrionments, and restored my laptop to factory conditions. Still, it is very unstable. Anybody here can give out possible solutions? I know I am within the warranty period. But I am using laptop everyday, and don't want to ship it to Lenovo for a long-time fix.

Try this driver?

Is it possibly connect my Satellite A200-10W to TV

Could i possibly connect my satellite A200-10W to TV?
If so, what peripherals do I need to buy?

yes you can, simply purchase a S-Video cable(http://www.laptopaccessoriesinc.com/images/5FT_4_PIN_S-VIDEO_to_3_RCA_TV_male_Cable.jpg) and connect and you also need one Audio cable which can give sound output to TV (http://www.germes-online.com/direct/dbimage/50103844/Audio_Video_Cable.jpg)

How to share broadband internet connection on Satellite A200-1VG

Hi,
I am very new to the world of laptops, 3 days old. In fact, I have a desktop (the OS is XP professional) and have just bought my self a Satellite A200-1VG (the OS is Vista).
I believe it is possible for 2 machines to share a broadband connection, but how I do not know. I must confess to being quite ignorant when it comes to technology ( you have probably gathered that by now) and I ask that any advice given will be given in not too technological language.
Thanks in advance from a newbie.

Okay, firstly some routers or mdoems come with 2 ports on the back so you can connect two different computers so simply plug them both in
if not, then i advise you buy a router which allows you to add numerous computers to the same network via wires or add numerous computers wirelessly
i have one computer connect to my netgear router -wired
i have one computer wirelessly connected with a Netgear USB wireless reciever
then i got my laptop which is connected via wireless
i have xbox live which i connect to the internet via my laptops wireless connection, this can be done with any pc or laptop aswell
what you do is
wireless networks - where it showws any detected networks
change advanced options - on the side
advanced tab
then allow other computers to use this computers internet connection
simple as
all you do is plug in your other pc or whatever

If i have connection, it's level from 1 to 3 (5 is the best).
I have the same problem with hot-spot. I cant access to the Internet or use only messenger, can't surf in the Internet, check my mails, etc.
Another person haven't this problem in the same places. They can access to the Internet. What's wrong? Can you help me?
I've a Satellite A200-1CR.

Cannot connect my Satellite A200-1MB to new WLAN router

Hi All,
Recently i bought the LinkSys Router (Model no: WRT120N) and configured it. But it is not connecting to my TOSHIBA laptop (model no: Satellite A200-1MB) with this new router.
It is a wireless connection. I don't think its something to do with the router because the other laptops can access the signal and they can able to connect to that router.
Can anyone please help me out in fixing this?
Thanks & Regards,
Razzaq.

hi rajak.net,
sure all users in this forum are willing to help...
make sure that:
- the same encryption method is used
- the same access key
- the same channel is used
- the ssid is visible
if you cant make a connection turn of *all* encryption and test it
sometimes a update of the ap firmware makes it running...

Connecting a Satellite A200 to a TV with video and audio.

I have a Satellite A200 and was wondering what cables will connect it to my TV with both Video and Audio. I have an S-Video cable at the moment but I need the sound out of the TV.
Thanks.

The problem is that s-video cable doesnt transmit the audio signal but only video.
If you want to get the sound on TV you will have to use an additional RCA cable.

Very slow wifi connection on my MBP

I'm having problems with my wifi connection on my MBP. My iPad, iPhone and iPod all work absolutely fine but for some reason I have a very slow connection on the MBP. If I connect it to the router with a wire it's fine so it's definitely the wifi.
The only other thing that's changed recently is our Internet package. But this hasn't effected any of my other devices and we actually upgraded our package so I think that's coincidental.
Is it a known problem with MBPs? Should I take it to the genius bar or is there a simple solution.
Thanks in advance

thanks for the tip. unfortunately, removing the security from the router isn't an option as it isn't even my router (my roommate owns it and would never allow that to happen).
the thing that is perplexing is that it hasn't always been slow - this just started happening within the last two weeks. one could assume that if one computer experiences a slow internet connection, the other would as well if they are both going through the same router. secondly, the connection strength, despite it being slow, is at the maximum. finally, if i connect to any other network at school or coffee shop, the connection is fast. there's obviouly something specific to my MBP and the router that the computer doesn't like, which is causing the lag.
maybe my MBP doesn't like the channel that the router is set to. i'll look into getting it switched as it may be the root of the problem.

8.02 ipad 3 battery drain, very warm, wifi connection issues

Have the iPad 3 (64, wifi only). Updated to 8.02 yesterday. Wish I would've waited for 8.03.
-The battery is draining like crazy.
-The iPad gets very hot. So hot that I have shut it down several times to cool it off.   I am also shutting it off at night because I don't want it to burn up.
-am having wifi connection problems when I wake it up.   Have done restarts on it and also clicked wifi setting on and off. i am not experiencing wifi problems with my internet provider as, when I can't get the iPad to work, I gave been using my Samsung phone on wifi or my hp laptop.
AS soon as I get done typing this, I am shutting it down because it is so hot it is uncomfortable on my leg and I don't want to burn my house down.   I am also at 69% at 6pm and I just charged it up last night. So guess after it cools down, I will charge it.
Something is still terribly wrong with these updates. If anyone has any suggests, please let me know. I have had this iPad since it came out and have not had any problems. Thank you.

RV220W: Very slow wifi connection???!!!

I'm an IT professional with more than 10 years experience. I have spent last 5 days trying to figure out why the wifi connection to this router is so slow, but still no luck. I'm getting only 13Mbps even if my laptop is next to the router! (wired connection worked ok)
I have tried all sort of setting combinations, 2.4GHz/5GHz; N only/ G,N Mixed; Auto/20MHz bandwidth; different channels; WPA2 encrypted vs open; disable firewall; wmm enabled/disabled; 1.0.0.26/1.0.1.0 firmware... no matter what I try, I always get only 10 - 15Mbps speed.
Once I replace this router with my old router, it worked perfectly --- getting 70 - 80Mbps with exactly the same testing environment and configuration.
I really expect this router to offer much faster wireless speed according to this review:

Unstable WiFi connection to PS3

hi,
i've already seen some posts in relation to similar issues but couldn't find a solution: i'm running a 2gb time capsule as wifi router in my network with an old macbook and powerbook, 2 iphones 3gs and a ps3. All running most recent firm/system software.
it seems that the tc randomly terminates the wifi connections to any device connected, however there is no regular pattern. below is an extract from the internal log which in such cases records a "disassociation with station" for unknown reason - at least i have no clue. can someone help, please (unfortunatelly apple care wasn't of any help).

Welccome to the discussion area, Dominic!
With the explosive growth of wireless networking and other wireless devices like cordless phones, it's unfortunate that wireless interference is causing so many issues for users.
You are probably picking up interference from another nearby wireless network, security system or cordless phones. Because of the intermittent nature of your issue, cordless phones might be the first suspect since conversations start and stop. Most cordless phones operate on the same 2.4 GHz frequency that most wireless networks use. I had to get rid of mine since they were causing too many problems for my wireless network.
To give you an example of the difficulties that cordless phones can cause, my neighbor...across the street...can literally bring my wireless network to a crawl and sometimes a crash if he's in his front yard talking on his cordless phone.
If you have cordless phones, keep them as far away as possible from any routers or computers. You won't be able to do anything about an offending phone at the neighbors, unfortunately.
All you can really do is experiment and try different wireless channels on your wireless router to see if you can find some clear airspace.

Very Odd WiFi connection problems - plus crashes

Since Firefox 2.0.0.9 crashed yesterday, I have had very odd problems with my WiFi (Earthlink through an Apple Airport). Network Diagnostics says everything is okay, but Safari can no longer connect to the internet, and after Firefox crashes I can not even send Apple an error report. Yet I can get online with Firefox, as I am now.
The problem apparently started EITHER when I upgraded to the latest Firefox or when I tried to place an order at <http://www.senacases.com/> (or both). After Firefox crashed multiple times while trying to place an order at <http://www.senacases.com/>, I opened Safari, which would not connect.
I ran Network Diagnostics which said everything is fine. But Firefox continually crashes trying to place an order at <http://www.senacases.com/>, Safari continues not connecting, Network Diagnostics continues to say everything is fine, and now I can't file an Apple Error Report and trying to connect to some of the library services at Notre Dame (something I have always been able to do before), makes Firefox crash.
The only other possible symptom I have noticed is that I could not connect to a Late Show video this morning. Otherwise, I can browse the web in Firefox, I can pick up my email with Entourage, etc.
How do I fix this?

PS: I once had a similar problem that was fixed by a simple restart.
I have restarted numerous times now, with no change. My MacBook was off over night.

Unstable WiFi connectivity in macbook pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)

Hi guys!
My macbook pro is connected to the internet via WiFi router, and it very often it happens that my macbook loses connectivity with it. WiFi logo shows the same signal strength, but all browsers (Safari & Chrome) can't load webpages.
This issue can be solved by turning WiFi on and off, but it happens again and again. It looks like connectivity loses when Macbook goes in sleep mode and get's back from it, but sometimes connectivity issues happen even without sleep mode switching.
I found in the internet that this issue can be solved by turning off Bluetooth and tried, but it didn't help.
I totally understand that from one point of view this issue is not a big deal, but we are speaking about Apple device, and before I thought that this brand is synonime for ultimate quality and reliability. So please help me with this issue and bring back my faith in Apple;)

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
