Wireless adapter upgrade

Im looking to upgrade my wireless adapter to a dual band with bluetooth included. is there a link or a list of compatible adapters for my laptop? Thanks!
my product code is: C2H74UAR

Here is the Manual:
Manual
See pages 28-29. The Intel 6230 is misidentified in this list and that part number is actually something else. Your laptop is one of the last to have had the whitelist where only specific HP Part No. wifi cards can get past a boot block in the BIOS. There is no 5ghz dual band option for your laptop I hate to say.

Hi,
Not many laptops support 3 wireless antennas and wireless cards like the Ultimate-N 6300. I have the card myself on Dv6 but it's the 1st generation of the Core i7 processors and also modding the BIOS was necessary to make the card compatible with the laptop. Intel 6150 and 6230 are compatible with the Dv6-6000 Intel based series laptops but the Ultimate-N 6300 not.

Upgrade to kernel 2.6.26.2-1 and my ralink-based wireless adapter

The latest upgrades (kernel26, rt2500, etc.) are causing me major problems with my wireless adapter. It's a junky Belkin model which uses the rt73usb driver (part of the rt2500 package, I believe). Anyway, after the upgrade, if/iwconfig returns no wlan0 interface. Modprobing the rt73usb driver doesn't help. I also see a blur of ugly looking text at bootup that seems to relate to my USB hub - but that's probably an unrelated issue.
Is anyone else having problems?
EDIT: This should probably be moved to Kernel & Hardware Issues. I'm acting stupid today...

I've had issues with rt73usb after upgrading to 2.6.26, too. The kernel even oopsed when plugging the adapter in (you might refer to it by writing "a blur of ugly looking text" ).
I'm currently testing a small patch borrowed from the Ubuntu guys and it does the trick so far. See here:

Upgrade my DV6-6126sl with an Wireless adapter Bluetooth

Hi,
I open a new topic, because searching among existing ones, I did not find useful answers.
I have a DV6-6126sl and I decided to upgrade it with a wireless card that implements the Bluetooth. analyzing the service and maintenance guide, I chose to buy the part number 657325-001, which should be compatible with both AMD and those models intel, but when I insert the card at startup hangs and does not post bios, giving an error "wireless adapter installed is not supported and then has the error" wireless (702) "," how is it possible? there is a method to unlock it, thanks

Today, the seller has sent to me an email that says: "I have the Ralink RT3090BC4 802.11b/g/n 1 × 1 WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR Combo Adapter 630705-001".
According to you, since the manual is listed as "For use on all computer models:" can I try?

Xbox 360 wireless adapter wont connect to Airport Express/cant find ip

i have a time warner modem with the ethernet cable plugged into my airport express to create a wireless network in my house. my macbook and dell connect with no prob.
the xb recognizes the airport express, shows it as connected with green bars, but when i try to log into xbox online, it says that there is no connection.
i can plug in the ethernet cable from the xb to the airport ex and there is no problem. only when trying to use the wireless adapter.
how can i stop this? also, how can i find my IP address?
since the xb wouldnt connect and find my ip automatically, i tried to do it manually. when i go to terminal on my macbook and enter "ipconfig e0", i dont see an IP address.
i have seen a lot of info on this but it mainly deals with airport extreme or those who are trying to connect to airport express with an ethernet cable.
so if you can help me troubleshoot the wireless connection between my xb and my airport ex OR explain how i can find my IP address, i would be very grateful.
FYI---the airport express was purchased in april, so i believe it is the new "n" model.
thanks for all your help.

Gary Sanborn, please share your tricks. I'm curious to know how you got it to work. I used to have the old Express and that worked just fine. The new version (n) doesn't seem to connect to xbox live. As previously stated, mine also shows "connected" and a strong green bar signal on the xbox but the text can't get passed "connected to live"... if I'm not mistaken.
I heard about holding down the option button white selected the type of wireless connection and connecting to wireless b only. I would want to avoid this option. I don't want my express to run that slow. Please advice. Thanks in advance.
By the way, I haven't tried it since recently upgrading to OS X 10.5.3. I wasn't sure if that affected airport's connectivity with xbox 360.

Wireless adapter is not working.

My WiFi is not working, please help me. For tree days I’m trying to turn on wireless adapter.
In Programs and Features I have Atheros 802.11 showing. But in Device Manager it is not showing up. On switch Fn+10 is going on but the control lamp is not going on. I have reinstalled the driver Atheros_WLAN 8.0.0.196. I tried even Atheros AR928x Wireless Network Adapter, but it is not working. I upgraded to Win 7 Home Premium, reset to original factory state, to Win 7 Starter. Now I again upgraded to Win 7 Home Premium. Nothing helped.
I'm hoping you can help me out.
Peter.

You could try a couple of simple things that might help:
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and disconnect attached devices.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.  You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Wireless Card Upgrade Help!

Hello,
First post so be gentle with me! I need some help upgrading my wireless card on my Compaq nx6310 laptop. I have the original card in there since new and I now have a much faster fibre connection with a Hauwei HG533 wireless router so I understand if I upgrade the wireless card to an all singing all dancing 802.11 b/g/n one I can connect at a faster speed. I´m running XP Home SP3. I understand the card must be a genuine HP product or on the bios whitelist but I don´t know if one is available for my kit and where I can get one. I want the best available. I have attached some pics. of the existing one.
Thank you in advance for any help......

Since your interest is in upgrading to an802.11b\g\n wireless adapter then you simplest solution is to purchase a Type I, or Type II , or Type III Cardbus wireless card. You may have to look for that type of card in the preowned market.
The card plugs into the slot(s) on the left-hand of your notebook.
There are no internal network adapter currently made that will fit your notebook.
Your notebook is of a notebook generation when only 802.11 a\b\g existed and that is what makes cardbus adapters your best option.

Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Device List Not Finding Windows 8 Wireless Adapter

I recently upgraded my Wi-Fi router to an EA3500 and am controlling it using Smart Wi-Fi running on a wired Windows 7 machine.
So far, I have been able to add devices to the network without issue and each of those connections works fine. All, except my TV, have been Windows 7 based machines.  Smart Wi-Fi Device List has been able to "see" each device and I have been able to add them to that list as well.
I am attempting to add a Windows 8 desktop computer to the network which is using a external USB wireless adapter. That computer can see and connect to the network through the EA3500 and the connection seems to work fine. The only issue is that its adapter does not show up in the Device List.
My questions:
1) Does the Device List do anything else besides showing a list of devices I chosen to add to my network?
2) How do I get my Windows 8 wireless adapter to show up in the Device List?
Thanks In Adance!

I would like to chime in here too. I also have the same issue as described on an older Mac desktop. The ethernet port has failed so it connects only via the AirPort wireless. My issue is IMPORTANT because until this devices shows up on the Device List I cannot apply the Parental Controls. Joining Orloldman for an answer... (Thanks!)
Try the following:
1.       Disconnect the computer from the wireless network
2.       Remove wireless network profile on your computer
3.       Reboot the computer and power cycle the router
4.       Reconnect to the wireless network
5.       Check if the computer shows up on the device list.
If it is still not showing, reset and reconfigure the wireless router.

Airport Extreme won't accept password request from DirecTV wireless adapter

My Airport Utility is running on PC (Windows XP). The DirecTV wireless adapter "sees" the network, and I get to the password screen but it can't get the password approved by Airport. Anyone know a fix?
I've already updated Firmwear, rebooted everything, etc. Other wireless things working fine including new setups, so it's not the router unless I need to change some settings
Thanks, Marty

wyhoser, Welcome to the discussion area!
Are you by chance using WPA or WPA2?
WPA: You can use WPA if you upgrade your iBook G3 to OS 10.3. See KB 107795, AirPort Card: When You Can Join a WPA Network.
WPA2: Sorry, but the iBook G3 can not join a WPA2 protected network. You will need to drop back to WPA or WEP.

Wireless Adapter Error 10 when CSM Support Disabled

After a motherboard replacement, my Thinkpad Yoga was returned with CSM Support enabled, causing a legacy bios and windows splash screen to appear.
I went into the bios and disabled CSM support to bring back the default black Lenovo boot up screen, but now when windows loads the Wireless Card reports an Error Code 10. I have tried updating to every driver and even refreshed windows to no avail.

I later disabled Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter and found that I could still use WiFi so I went on and upgraded to Windows 10 anyway. Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter does come off the list on Device Manger but I can still use WiFi regardless.

Replacing wireless adapter in T510

Hello, I purchased a T510 43142KU several months ago and have realized that I should have bought the upgraded wireless adapter - Centrino Advanced-N 6200. I contacted Lenovo and tried to find out if I could purchase the new part and swap it in for my current adapter. The answer appeared to be yes, but the person I spoke to hedged a bit on the phone.
She transferred me to the parts department who quoted me $133 plus $10 shipping for the new adapter. So, before I blow $150 on a part that is a $10 upgrade on the Lenovo website, I have a couple of questions:
a) will this part work?
b) is it possible to get a generic part (read cheaper) to work?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi and welcome to the forum!
1. Since the tabook lists Intel Advanced-N 6200 as an option for T510 i.e. I would say it's compatible and will work.
2. You can try eBay, however be wary of the sellers as they most often sell unapproved lenovo wifi cards which throw an error on boot.
Hope this helps.

WRT54G to WGA54G bridge OR XBOX Wireless Adapter

1. Just hooked up a new WRT54G bringing wireless to my home network. Wired PCs (4) and wireless laptop connect and work fine (laptop drops connection from time to time).
2. Wanted wireless gaming via WGA54G, compeleted install per instructions, hooked up to XBOX Live, set up account, started to check out XBOXLive stuffs, lost connection. Never able to get WGA54G to hold connection, despite many reloads and reconfigs.
3. 2 Days later; bought a $100 XBOX Wireless Adapter. Installed per instructions, surfed XBOXLive, all seemed great.....lost connection. Researched all the blogs and both Linksys and XBOX 360 sites for anything that might help. The only thing I found was a statement that Linksys and MS knew about a problem with the WRT54G losing connectivity and where working on it, telling me to go into WRT54G device and disable UPnP. Did so, still no luck.....so;
DOES ANYONE HAVE AN XBOX 360 ON THEIR WIRELESS NETWORK THAT WORKS? iF

You can't give up on those good devices until you have upgraded their firmwares. Take a look on the sticker under the router to get it's exact version no. After that, upgrade the firmwares and reconfigure the settings on both the router and the WGA54G. Hope this helps.

Dv6110ca will not recognize the wireless adapter

hello,
Pavilion dv 6110 ca with windows XP (worked fine)
i upgraded to windows vista, and installed the latest drivers. but now my wireless card is not being recognized.
please help

Hi:
Do you see the wireless adapter listed under network adapters in the control panel?
Is it listed in the general device manager as a Network Controller with a little yellow ! mark?
If you don't see it at all anywhere, then you probably need to install the HP Wireless Assistant and use that program to turn the wireless card on.

What's the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?

Hello!!
What’s the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?
I found two things as follows.
1. MAC support
2. USB dongle
Is there anything else?

Now I’m clear!!
But there are descriptions for each on your home page over view tab. Due to this forum restriction; I cannot put the URL here.
They say for each as follows.
HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit --- Retain full all-in-one wireless functionality: print, fax from your PC, scan, and access photo memory cards access and PC status
HP Wireless G Print Server --- Get the same functionality with your all-in-one: printing, scanning, photo memory card access, PC faxing, and printer statusSo I got confusion, that’s why I did not get the difference for them.
And I found wrong description on your HP support document page. I recommend that you correct it, because it put consumer into confusion and break to buy this product.
The title is “HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit - Setting up the HP Printer with the HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit in Windows .”
The wrong description is “NOTE: You must turn on the computer with the computer adapter in order to print to the wireless product” at last line of “Step two: Configure other computers to use the printer. “
You can erase this line!!
