Wifi card not working properly

I purchased an hp Envy in October 2014. The wifi card no longer functions properly. Connections are intermittent or so slow they don't function. Is this defect covered by warranty? The wifi card is Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 802.11
As long as I'm hard wired, I have no internet connection issues. But dysfunctional wifi limits mobility and eliminates one of the primary features that I relied on in making the purchase choice. What is the solution?

Lenovo yoga 213 wifi card not working in the new laptop

I purchaed lenovo yoga 213 from Best Buy Boston and have brought to India.From the day one,the Bluetooth and Wifi is not working.On taking to their authorised service centr-Hitech technologies they have tried to replace the wifi card but even they are not able to solve the problem.I am trying to contact Lenovo for replacement of Laptop,but there is no response from them.What should I do?

Lenovo service centre has done all these after getting a replacement card
from Lenovo and again they have reported that the wifi replacement card
recieved is defective ,so they have asked for 2 nd time replacement of
wificard as well as the touchpad which they say carries the antenna for
wifi.The bottom line is i am tired of running around to service centre and
have not been able to use the laptop from the time i have bought the
laptop.I thought if there is a manufacturing defect lenovo,being a reputed
brand will replace the laptop.

Have you tried contacting your ISP? Sometimes they can help you optimize your settings. Such as DNS server numbers. I had a simullar problem and found out my DNS settings were wrong.
Do you have other computers that use the wireless single? If not you might look into your router to see if maybe something is wroung with it. You can always go to a wifi hotspot or a friends house and see how the connection is there. If it seems normal then you know it is your ISP or your router. If not then it might be a laptop problem.

Wifi card not working

Hi,
As of today my internal WiFi card in the iPad is not working anymore. The WiFi option in settings is grey and when looking into the "About" there is no WiFI MAC address (N/A). Is this a hardware problem or am I missing some sort of setting to enable the WiFi adapter?
Hope someone can help.
Bob

if you tried holding down the home and power button to reset the ipad
and you tried restoring the ipad
and non of those options work I would bring it in for service

Beam Internet/Laptop Connect Air Card not working properly

We recently upgraded to the ATT Beam aircard as we lost our previous version on vacation. We live in a rural area and using the Laptop USB Connect Card (Beam) is the only access to the internet. When we first activiated it we were able to connect to the internest the first couple of days (Windows 7). Now, the digital read out on the Beam shows "Ready to Connect" but when opening the All Access icon to connect, we either get a "no modem/device detected" or it will say its connected on All Access but the Beam show Ready to Connect and we have no access. I've run the diagnositic too, I've deleted All Acess and reinstalled, I've unplugged and plugged the Beam back in, nothing works, I have not been able to connect to the interet with it at all. I am currently teathering off my cell phone. I'm locked into a 2 year on this Beam since I upgraded and so far its not working. Thoughts?

External audio cards not working properly

First off, i have an HP Dv7-1134us laptop. AMD 2.0 GHZ dual core processor, 4 gigs of ram, etc etc. I have 2 external audio cards:
1.Presonus Firestudio Mobile(firewire)
2.Line 6 UX1(usb)
I had an HP desktop before that I used for recording, but that recently broke down so I have been trying to use my laptop. I bought a Firewire express card for the presonus, and installed everything along with it. However, while my computer recognizes the device, it will consistently turn off and on...but no audio comes out.
The Line 6 ux1 works, but it crackles and pops at a ridiculous rate. When recording more than 1 track, it clutters up my speakers with nothing but crackling and distortion.
I have tried an Express Booster for the first issue, have tried disabling my LAN card, have tried disabling IRQ's in the control panel and nothing has changed. Can ANYONE help me or am I going to have to really jump ship and just get a mac?

Sorry about the delay in replying....
The updated ATI drivers that should apply to my machine are at
http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspx
or the file I was originally pointed to
http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/integrated_win7-32.aspx#3
but these won't install here, neither will any other updates from ATI, even older ones.
I'm waiting for a family member to bring round his Win 7 64-bit machine as I want to compare the Microsoft files referred to in the failure messages on his machine with mine. I'm trying not to have to re-install Windows.....
I think the recording tab effect is just a Microsoft programming problem that happens to show up the fault in the ATI usb part of the motherboard chipset drivers, and I think it may appear because the little recording meters that appear are driven by some recording code of Microsoft's. Here using a powered or unpowered usb2 hub cures the problem as it moves the translation between usb 1 and usb 2 away from the faulty code in the machine.
It's interesting that I've been posting all over the place for many, many months about this and had no response anywhere until about 10 days ago and now there have been 2 responses. It will be really good if you can confirm that a usb 2 hub and/or the ATI update cures the problem.
I think you may find there are some remaining crackles which can be got rid of by disabling any wifi networking on the machine.

Mountain lion wifi is not working properly

After installing the Mountain Lion in my imac late 2011 model, 27", it started to show wifi errors. I tried to restart the system to see if the wifi connects back or not. It shows as connected but not possible to browse the net.
I then turned-off & turned-on the wifi alone and I found it got connected and was able to browse. Few minutes after the browsing the wifi connection went off and was not able to browse.
I repeated the same rectification method and was able to get back to the web browsing. Several times since mt. Lion is installed I experienced and it is now three days.
Any one experienced the same errors and found a permanent solution please share the method.
Thanks

Hello you all,
I also had the problem of a disconnecting wifi while my imac was sleeping. I did not have the reconnecting issue after sleep, but the lost connection issue during sleep which made it impossible to reach my imac for things like homesharing, apple tv or remote desktop. I have a late 2012 iMac with a clean ML 10.8.2 on it and wirelessly connected to an apple time capsule (same as an airport extreme). My partner has a mid 2007 iMac, also with an ML 10.8.2 on it.
I tried every single solution I could find on the internet, such as changing the router's security from wpa2 to wpa, changing the MTU from automatic to manual 1453, router reboots, re-installations, re-configurations, keychain clean-ups, everything.
Eventually I solved my problem with these steps and now it works as a charm. I can still find the iMac with the remote app, even after 12 hours of sleep:
My time capsule router is set on automatic MTU and encrypted with WPA2 and I use the 5Ghz network!
1. Cleaned all the wifi passwords in keychain on my iMac
2. Created a new network location in system preferences
3. In this location I deleted the bluetooth pan and bluetooth dun connection.
4. In this location I changed the preferred connection-order to wifi on #1 and ethernet on #2.
5. Restarted my iMac.
Now I still have a connection when it sleeps and I can wake it to low profile using the remote app (homesharing) and everything works fine.
Hope more people wille be helped by this.

GE620 DX, Nvidia card not working properly

Hello everyone,
Nvidia support sent me here since updating drivers didn't solve my problem.
To be honest, I'm not really computer savy... I've been sticking to consoles my entire life because it's always felt like an easy option. Because of my lack of experience I'm not the first person to notice when a computer isn't performing the way it should, therefore it has taken me a while to realize that the Nvidia Geforce GT 635M (2GB GDDR3) card has reset the settings to use the integrated graphics card instead of the Nvidia card (LOL).
Readjusting the settings doesn't work. The window will freeze for about 2-5 seconds, then refresh and the settings will be back to integrated card. Also, I downloaded new drivers from Nvidia, but the installation failed.
EDIT:
The power button is red, not blue (opening task manager does not resolve this).
Nvidia control panel isn't working. When I try to use it I get a message saying I have no monitor connected to the Nvidia GPU.

Hello, i'm on laptop:
Lenovo Y580 (i7 2300Mhz, 8Gb DDR3, GF 660 2Gb DDR5, 256Gb SSD, Windows 7 / Windows 10 TH)
At first i was using default driver from windows th, but some games (styx / bioshock) won't even launch, clicking on exe file didn't do anything. Then i've updated driver:
intel - 15.33.30.64.3958
nvidia - 344.60
And now these games are working, but they are only on intel. I tried to force nvidia in several ways, but no luck. Though some other apps (3dmark06) are working on nvidia card.
And switching game to dx9 (where it possible) solves the issue.

Other Device/Sound Card not working properly

My sound card keeps failing. I can restart my computer and it will work fine for a random amount of time. But usually I'll be running youtube or soundcloud and the audio will just stop. The video will stop and no longer play. I can try video files on my computer and they won't even play on Windows Media Player. I try in VLC and the video will play, but not the audio. I've tried every driver known to the HP driver update process, I've tried updating the Intel Chip the Bios, everything. I'm out of options. Can you help?

Hi: You need this driver for the unknown device and you may have to manually install it by browsing to the driver folder. http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp66001-66500/sp66231.exe The only suggestion I can offer for the audio is if your model has the Realtek HD audio system, accept the agreement, download and install the second driver on the list. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

3rd party usb2/firewirePCMCIA card not working properly after 10.4.6 update

Hi,
I updated my mac to 10.4.6, after which I can no longer use my generic usb2/firewire PC card to sync my iPod via usb 2.0. My iPod (60gb photo) will still mount, but any app that tries to access the iPod portion of the drive (e.g. iTunes or the iPod updater) freezes until I detach my iPod. For some reason it's only a problem with usb2.0 slots, because I can connect the iPod via the card's firewire port with no problem.
Was there any modification to generic usb 2.0 PC cards in the new OS update?
Any ideas?

I think that I have a similar problem, having recently bought a PCMCIA to USB2, thanks to Apple's strange decission to drop FireWire from iPods (although that is a thread of it's own) but it does not recognise the iPod at all, using X.4.7.
It is a NEWlink model, which appear to be the same as D-Link and some others using the ALi chipset, and using the 'latest' (Oct 2003) driver USB2EHCI v3.1.5
Curiously USB1.1 devices seem to be fine, and the iPod is powered and goes into Sync mode but fails to boot either on the Desktop or in iTunes.

It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
Symptoms
A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
Resolution
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.

Wifi does not work correctly on iPad Mini w/ Retina display

I've found that Wifi does not work properly on the iPad mini w/ Retina display.
Some background: I own three iPads (iPad mini w/ retina display, iPad mini, and iPad 3rd gen), an iPod touch 5th gen, and a Macbook Air, and use them all frequently with my pocket Wifi router.
None of them exhibit any Wifi problems whatsoever except for my iPad mini w/ retina display.
Here are the details:
In the middle of using Wifi with my pocket Wifi router, the Wifi connection will abrubptly drop, then reconnect. After the Wifi reconnects, it is no longer able to connect to the internet (even though Wifi itself is connected).
Once the iPad mini w/ retina display's Wifi gets into this state, the following may or may not restore WiFi temporarily:
Restart the device
Reset network settings
Yet, even if connectevitiy is restored, the problem will happen again within minutes.
When the iPad mini w/ retina display gets into this state, the Wifi on my iPod touch, other iPads, and on my Macbook Air work perfectly fine, so I know the problem is not with my Wifi device or it's connection, but specifically with the iPad mini w/ retina display
Note:
The iPad mini w/ retina display never has any issues with my home or work Wifi networks. The problem only happens when connected to my pocket Wifi device. Yet, all of my other iOS devices and my MacBook Air work perfectly with my pocket Wifi device, therefore I know the problem is not with the pocket Wifi device, but with the iPad mini with retina display.
Solutions:
Resetting the iPad mini w/ retina display to factory settings does not solve the problem
Resetting network settings on the iPad mini w/ retina display does not solve the problem
I have even replaced my original iPad mini w/ retina and got a new one. Yet, the new device exhibits the exact same behavior as the original device.
Conclusion:
I know this is not a hardware problem (since it happened with both my original as well as replacement device).
I know this is not a problem with my pocket WiFi router, since it works perfectly with all of my other iOS devices and MacBook Air.
Therefore, this must be a software / firmware bug with the iPad mini w/ retina display. Apple will need to fix this in a future software update.
Has anyone else seen this problem?

I too have experienced this issue over the past two days... I have a 16gb ipad mini retina, for reference. I bought the device one week ago, and had not experience any issues at all until bringing my device to work. I logged into my work's enterprise level wireless network both yesterday and today, maintained normal wifi capabilities for 2-4 hours each day, and was then randomly dropped, both days. I tried hard resets, resetting my network settings, airplane mode, etc. Nothing has worked. I am still offline on my ipad mini retina.
My iPhone 5 is sitting right next to my iPad mini retina. The iPhone is currently connected to the same very network, and has been for the past two years. I have never lost connection on my iPhone's wifi, just my iPad mini retina.
This must be some kind of bug, as it does not sound like a hardware nor network issue.
Hopefully they fix this in 7.1.
