Wifi adapter problems

Hi
I recently bought this laptop the hp pavilion 11-n116tu x360 and right from the start there has been issues relating to the wifi. On start everything is working fine but as soon as i start using the internet on the laptop it stops working. First it doesn't show anyother networks but does show the network i am connected to but it says limited. If i unconnect from this network i can not reconnect because it disappers on my laptop. I have tried different networks including my own and public networks and results have been the same. I also noticed that in device manger the wifi adapter will go missing if i disconnect from the network that is limited. I have tried uninstalling the adapter and restarting my laptop but it still doesn't work. Everything seems to be up to date as well. The adapter that is installed is intel dual band wireless-ac 3160. The device ids for this adapter are as followes
Pci\ven_8086&dev_08b3&subsys_00708086&rev_83
Pci\ven_8086&dev_08b3&subsys-00708086
Pci\ven_8086&dev_08b3&cc_028000
Pci\ven_8086&dev_08b3&cc_0280
Please help

Hope the guys from Lenovo are listening. I'm having problems with the wifi on my ThinkPad T61. I'm running Windows 10. When through for the day I shut my t61 down. Every time when I restart the wifi doesn't connect. To get it to connect I have to go to control panel, network, troubleshoot connection. Windows then tells me it had to reset my wifi adapter. After it does that the problem is fixed until the next time I shutdown. Then it starts all over. I can't seem to find any updated wifi drivers. Anyone got any ideas?

Windows 10 wifi adapter problems

Ater installing and upgrading from windows 7 to 10 I couldnt been able to connect to any wifi networks at all on my laptop. When I try updating Ralink RT3290 802.11 bgn wifi adapter it says im running the latest drivers. The adapter is entierly disabled when I try to enable it in the network connections nothing happens.

I think I found something that may help. Did you have Cisco VPN software installed before you upgraded? I did, and I think that caused the issue. Since I rolled back, I won't know for sure. I'm going to do a fresh install of Windows 10 this afternoon and see if wireless works. See these posts: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home-Networking/No-WiFi-adapter-found-after-windows-10-upgrade/td-p/5170831 http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surfpro-surfusingwin10/no-wireless-device-after-upgrading-surface-pro-to/79b27611-d00a-4482-aa03-117abd0f51fb

Windows 7 wifi-adapter problem

So i've worked with win7 as bootcamp on my mac for quite awhile.. not without failures. First win7 killed my battery, it's completely dead now.
And since two or three days I can't get my wifi adapter to work anymore.
Tried reinstalling the drivers and all but nothing will get the wifi adapter to work on the windows side anymore...
It's really annoying. Any ideas? If not I guess i'll have to reinstall windows..

Using your Windows 7 Ultimate DVD, boot from the DVD to run setup. Select the option to delete all existing partitions from the hard drive, then remove the DVD from your DVD drive and turn off your laptop.

Problems sharing wifi adapter with host - Windows 8.1

Hi All,
I'm having a frustrating problem with Hyper-V which is basically making it unusable on my laptop. I can't get the wifi adapter to work reliably for the guest, when it's also shared by the host.
What I've done is create a external adapter connected to my wifi card (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030), and checked "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter".
The guest can connect to this, but the connection constantly drops in and out. By constant I mean it could be dropping and reconnecting a couple of times a second. This only happens when I share the adapter with the host. If I turn that off, then the guest
gets a reliable connection.
This only happens with the wifi. If I'm connected to the wired adapter (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller), then I can share the adapter between the guest and host just fine.
I'm assuming this means there's some kind of conflict between the host and the guest for the wifi adapter. I'm guessing that whenever the host transmits or receives anything that this then must be taking priority and the guest VM gets kicked off momentarily,
only to try to reconnect again straight away.
I'm wondering if this is a fundamental hardware incompatibility with my wifi card, or if there might be some setting I can change, or protocol I can enable to get it to work properly?
- Relevant Information -
Host
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
Laptop: Dell XPS 17 - L702X, 8GB Ram, i7-2720 QM
Guest
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
VM Generation: 2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eugene

Hi Eugene,
>>The guest can connect to this, but the connection constantly drops in and out. By constant I mean it could be dropping and reconnecting a couple of times a second. This only happens when I share the adapter with the host. If I turn that off,
then the guest gets a reliable connection.
If the host and VM are getting IP address from DHCP server , you will see the host and VM are tring to get same IP address .
As a workaround please set static IP addresses for all VMs connecting to that external virtual switch .
Also you can use ICS to share the wireless NIC to VMs , it was explained within following article :
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2008/01/09/using-hyper-v-with-a-wireless-network-adapter.aspx
(In addition to this article , the IP address of that "internal virtual switch" should be same as the VMs' gateway )

What is your wireless router configuration?
Ex:
protocol: a\b\n\an\ac
wireless channel
wireless channel width
2.4Ghz and 5Ghz settings
interference from other wireless routers running on the same channel as yours

Installation problems WIFI adapter Intel 6200

Hello HP Support,
I recently tried to instal a new WIFI adapter in my laptop. But after starting up again I got an error message 702: Network device disabled.
My laptop is a Probook 4530s and the adapter I'm trying to install is an Intel Wifi link 6200 ( Model 622ANHMW).
After the first failed install I visited this forum and read the hint to update the BIOS so i did. I installed the most recent version of 23rd of may 2012 This still didn't made the difference.
I can't find any information about the compatability of the adapter with this laptop so I have no clue what to do to make it work.

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c03054480/c03054480.pdf
Supported wireless cards with HP part numbers can be found in chapter 3.
The Intel 6200 is not supported which is why it isn't working.
You can only install one of the wireless cards listed in the service manual and it MUST have the HP part number on it, or it will not work.

Wifi adapter upgrade for hp pavilion g6-1d73us

I have an HP Pavilion g6-1d73us running Windows 7 Home Premium with Intel Core i3 2.30GHz, 4GB RAM, 64 bit OS and would like to upgrade my wifi adapter from wireless 802.11n to wireless 802.11ac so I can also change my modem & router to the new, faster standard. The current wifi adapter that I have is Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11 b/g/n wifi adapter. I have researched the hardware on the internet and I think I would like an Intel Wireless AC 7260 wifi adapter but I am not sure if it is compatible with my laptop. Could you please tell me what wireless 802.11ac card or adapter is compatible with my laptop or if I am even able to upgrade this compnent. My computer runs fine and has no problems. Thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

No. Sorry. The HP laptop motherboard has a BIOS program that is set to stop the bootup process if any but very specific wireless cards is installed. In the case of your laptop, no 802.11ac adapter is on the "whitelist" to allow booting.

Yoga 2 Pro (Win 8.1) wifi adapter go missing once a while

Dear Yoga 2 Pro fans,I'm sharing my fix here. I'm a device driver/firmware s/w developer so I know a few things My Y2P (bought in April 2014) works fine except that the Wifi adapter need to be disable/enable (via Ctrl Panel->Networks) to make it find my wifi router after power up, or after wake up from sleep. I've been living with this product defect but tolerable, and the wifi speed and stability is normal. I only use Y2P in laptop mode.I was using :* Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260, driver 11/17/2014 v17.13.2.2 (was update via 'Update Driver...' button in the Driver Properties), -- "Allow..device to save power"=checked, -- Advanced tab's U-APSD Support = Enabled* Intel Smart Connect (ISCT) is installed but turned off* Intel PROSet/Wireless Tools v17.14.0* BIOS was 76CN38WW Until 2 weeks ago, I updated the N7260 wifi adapter driver to12/16/2014 v17.13.12.1 (was update via 'Update Driver...' button in the Driver Properties), and hell broke loss... The wifi adapter will go missing randomly, i.e. midway when transfering files in the LAN, or after power up from shutdown, or after return from sleep. Subsequent shutdown and power on will not recover the missing N7260 wifi adaptor !! No overheating issue as I was using battery at 60% full.And more strange, I leave Y2P over night, or a couple of hours, and the N7260 wifi adaptor appear (be detected by Win8.1) the next morning....Bluetooth is always working and no problem. After spending one day, reading both Lenovo and Intel N7260 forums, I think I solved it but it wasn't easyas there are many combinations. Here's my final config* BIOS is 76CN43WW 5/5/2015, with Lenovo Fast Startup = Disable* Intel Smart Connect (ISCT) - uninstalled with Control Panel > Programs* Intel PROSet/Wireless Tools v17.14.0 - uninstalled with Control Panel > Programs* While N7260 wifi adaptor is in 'missing' state, via Dev Mgr > View > Show hidden devices -> Uninstall drivers & remove files, and reboot Y2P* Download from Lenovo Support Y2P and install 13kd018f.exe (while N7260 wifi adaptore is in 'missing' state), shutdown and wait for 1-2 hours.* Power up, and hopefully N7260 re-appears, check via Devi Mgr -> Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260, driver 5/26/2014, 17.0.3.3 -- "Allow..device to save power"= Unchecked, -- Advanced tab's U-APSD Support = Disable -- Power provide set Max Performance on Battery and Plugged-In I've used this for a day and is stable, will monitor more, and report back !

Ok, the above doesn't work, but at leas the Wifi adapter now consistently disappear the 2nd time when Y2P boots up after a shutdown or from sleep. I've brought it to Lenovo Service Center (Shenzhen), and found it's h/w issue, both the Wifi card has to be replaced as well as the 'sound card' that has connectors to hold the wifi card to the motherboard Checking fee: CNY 50Wifi card: CNY 380Sound card: CNY 280Cleaning fee: CNY 50 Gee.. my Y2P is just 2 months past the 1 year warranty

USB wifi adapter can only handle one request or socket at a time

I have a usb wifi adapter that I bought recently. The strange thing is that if I'm doing only one thing that is using the network (e.g. downloading a file) it works good and fast. But say I'm downloading a file and I do ANYTHING else that uses the network (e.g. just opening a browser at google.ca), the download comes to a stop. Then if I close the browser, the download starts up again a couple seconds later, good and fast.
Another example is, say I'm in a Google Hangouts (video chat) session. As long as that is the only thing I have running, the chat works fine. If I open a second browser window, then the chat gets super choppy and pretty much un-usable until I close the second window.
So basically it seems like I can have only one open socket at a time, or else it can handle only one request at a time. Also, most webpages open very slowly as a result because the browser only seems to be able to download one static file at a time (e.g. js and css files needed by the page).
I'm sure it's a problem with the usb wifi adapter because I didn't have these problems when I was on a wired connection, and I have other devices using wifi (e.g. laptops and tablets) that don't have this problem either.
Rather than paste a bunch of output from commands, please kindly tell me what to run in order to gather any useful info.
Thanks,
Edit: The adapter is an ASUS USB n-53 (N600).

MORE INFORMATION
=================================================================================
If you want for rt2870 driver to auto-load at boot time:
A) choose ra0 for first RT2870 WLAN card, ra1 for second RT2870 WLAN card, etc.
B) create(edit) 'ifcfg-ra0' file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/,
edit( or add the line) in /etc/modules.conf:
alias ra0 rt2870sta
C) edit(create) the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ra0
DEVICE='ra0'
ONBOOT='yes'
NOTE:
if you use dhcp, add this line too .
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
*D) To ease the Default Gateway setting,
add the line
GATEWAY=x.x.x.x
in /etc/sysconfig/network

Windows Vista and WiFi networking problem with MackBook Air

Hi, everyone!
Thanks in advance for the following help.
For some specific programms I need Windows Vista to be set up on my MacBook Air.
The problem with Broadcom WiFi adapter.
While moving large files over home network it hangs and looses the wifi network. It works OK while surfing the internet or doing other low traffic job. But when it comes to 2 MB/sec transfer it doesn't work. I tried two different routers, no positive result. PC works propely on any file sizes. After booting the Leopard the problem goes away. So it is onle Windows Vista problem.
May be drivers? I tried 4.170.25.19 Windows Vista drivers from Broadcom - it didn't help. But I am not goog in driver settings in Control Panel, so may be the solution is there.
Any ideas how to solve it?
Thanks for help in advance.
Andrey.

Hello Nescom. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I'm afraid I really don't have an answer for you but I can offer my experiences with large files transfer with Vista. My current home network is a combination of Windows PC, Windows Servers, and Macs. Large file transfers between most of them have relatively the same performance, except when transferring large files from the Vista PC to any other OS. It is demonstrably slower. Interestingly, transfers between Vista machines does not appear to be a problem. I understand that this is a known problem by Microsoft and was supposed to be fixed with Vista SP1.
So the problem might not be your network, but Vista itself. I'm curious if you have this problem when transferring large files to another Vista device?

HT204400 can i use a wifi adapter on apple tv

Can a wifi adapter be used on apple tv?

If you mean an (extender / repeater) then yes....my ATV is too far away from my wireless router for a dependable signal....a repeater in the middle of the house solved the problem....

No Wireless networks found (WIFI adapter not visible)

From 2-3 days , my laptop's wifi adapter was disabled automatically.
The wireless network doesn't showing WIFI option.
Therefore I am not able to connect to any WIFI network.
Please help

Hi @21_95,
Thank you for your inquiry.
I grasp that your wireless was automatically disabled and you are unable to enable it.
If you check Device Manager is there any errors on it?
You can check this setting also while you are in Device Manager.
Click on the network adapters to expand the list.
Right click on the wireless adapter and choose properties.
Click on the power management tab.
If allow the computer to turn off this device to save power is checked please remove it .
Repeat that process for any additional network adapters.
Here is link to HP PCs - Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8) that may also help.
As this is a recent occurrence you could test for a hardware failure of the card.
HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
You could also try a HP PCs - Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) which will reinstall your Windows but should not affect your files. I do suggest that you do a backup of your files just to be on the safe side.
Good Luck!

WiFi Adapter not detected on T530

Hi there, I just purchased a refurb T530 form the Lenovo outlet and have had enormous problems with the Wifi Adapter. Machine: T530 Win 64 Pro Wifi card Realtek I know there have been many similar discussions of this issue in the past, so I can start by eliminating certain possibilities based on previous posts.
1. The plug-in Ethernet functions fine.
2. Toggle power switch has been tried, as well as FN+F5, which generates a message about no supported wireless adapters being found.
3 WiFi card does not show up in the Device Manager (DM). There are no errors for other hardware components listed in the DM.
4. WiFi does not show up in the BIOS.
5. Lenovo support sent me a replacement WiFi card, but an Intel model, which immediately generated an error message upon bootup about a non-compatible PCI card. I reinstalled the original Realtek card and still cannot see it in the DM or BIOS.
6. Have tried loading and unloading various drivers with respect to both the WiFi card as well as power management and hotkey features.
This is brand new machine, and hence will go back to Lenovo under warranty service, but I would much prefer to handle this without the shipping hassle back-and-forth, plus I would like to understand the underlying issue to prevent its recurrence (especially if it's software based and not simply a defective chip). Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If adapter isn't broken, fitted to the slot preperly and turned on it should be recognised by system on the pci-e bus and seen in the Device Manager at least as Unknown device.
To ensue that open powershell window and copy-past (via right click menu) the following string:
Get-WmiObject Win32_PNPEntity | Where-Object{$_.ConfigManagerErrorCode -ne 0} | Select Name, DeviceID
If adapter is recognised but doesn't have drivers installed, you'll see its description.
Or you can check wireless adapter by its description context:
Get-WmiObject Win32_PNPEntity | Where-Object{$_.Name –Match “DeviceName”} | Select Name, DeviceID
Replace "DeviceName" in the string above with "Raltek", "Wireless", "Adapter" etc. (keep the quotes)
x220 | i5-2520m | Intel ssd 320 series | Gobi 2000 3G GPS | WiFi
x220 | i5-2520m | hdd 320 | Intel msata ssd 310 series | 3G GPS | WiFi
Do it well, worse becomes itself

Wifi adapter of Satellite M30 does not work anymore

During these last couple of days the wifi adapter in my Satellite M30 have had a way of dying once a day.
The first time I still had a light and I could see when I turned it on and off. When that didn't help to get it going again, I decided to reboot and the wifi died completely.
Later, when I did a scan for hardware changes in the Device Manager, the adapter popped back up in the list of devices again and worked just fine.
At least up until today. A couple of hours ago it died again for no obvious reason and now I simply cannot get it back at all.
I might mention that yesterday the light didn't come back on after I did that scan for hardware changes and got it to work again.
When I tried to update the drivers it keep telling me that the drivers are already up to date and now I don't know what to do.
Is this a hardware problem and what can I do about it?
This laptop was 4 years and well used just a few days ago btw, but it never been taken apart and I've never had to send it in for service.
I would appreciate any help I can get.
Christa

Hi there,
thats definetly a hardware problem and it can only be resolved by exchanging the wireless LAN card. You can check if it works under linux (just download some live-CD e.g. knoppix, and let the OS recognise the wifi card - if it wont recognise then its definetly broken).
You could also contact an Authorized Service Provider and ask them for a hardware checkup but I guess they will charge you for that.
You have the choice... :)
