"Wireless connectivity is off" U310 - Windows 8.1

So, I've just installed Windows 8.1, and all drivers needed, but I can't see any wireless networks (it says Off under Wi-Fi tab, and there's no way turning it on). Tried enabling/disabling device, reinstalling drivers, and F7 key but it only turns airplane mode on/off.
Out of ideas. Any help will be appreciated.

Having a problem with wireless connection. On my Windows XP 32 bit system and a 6510 printer, initi

On my Dell Latitude D620, Windows XP 32 bit system and my 6510 printer wireless connection (Linksys EA4500) , everything works fine after the computer is booted. After a period of time (usually overnight), I lose connection to the printer (the scanner icon with a red x is shown on my Windows task bar and I can't print. Ran Windows Fix and the HP fix programs. The only thing that solves it is to reboot the computer. A second symptom is that my IE8 stops connecting to the internet at the same time (gives a 'waiting for' response that never changes). Firefox still connects OK when this is happening. So I suspect the problem isn't with the printer, but with my Windows set up. It is a fresh XP SP3 install (hard drive crashed, but it happened before also). I reset IE, checked my proxy, no malware, happens with or without firewalls and security programs.
Hoping that someone else has run into this problem. Been all over Google, and the IE doesn't work / Firefox works is fairly common, but none of the fixes helps.

If you want you can reload Firefox 4.0 or the last "old" version is 3.6.16 and is available here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Just reinstall your choice of FF. The bookmarks are in a different directory and are NOT overwritten. Some of the Add-ons that worked in 3.6 DO NOT work with 4.0, pay attention and head any warnings when you start 4.0.
I had to disable extensions: Flashblock and WOT
Firefox SafeMode? - A troubleshooting mode.
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.

Lenovo G400s Wireless Connection Limited Access on Windows 7 Ultimate - 32 bit

Just bought Lenovo G400s, install windows 7 ultimate - 32 bit on it.
It turns out the wireless network driver need to install manually, the disc driver that came with laptop was for windows 8.1. So I went to lenovo website, put on the series and download the wirelss network driver which is around 250 MB.
I installed the driver and connect to the wireless network. My office wireless was on security and use static ip. I changed the ipv4 ip static already. It connected for a while, 1-2 second then lost connection. I checked with ping to google, got 2 records of live connection which is very short. After that it try to reconnecting itself again and again with status said "Limited Access"
I search in google, read some forums about problem in different series, so I use another computer go to Intel website to download latest driver. Got it installed, but it's still the same.
I try download broadcom driver, but it's really different and doesn't work at all.
Now I don't know what to do.
Windows 7 Ultimate - 32 bit
Inter(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 135
Driver Provider: Intel
Driver Date: 1/26/2014
Driver Version: 15.11.0.7
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compability Publisher
What makes it weird, although from intel website said the driver date is in 3/21/2014, and the version is 16.11.0, but this information I get from device driver was different.
Here's the intel's website if you're wondering:

Can anyone help me?

Today I want to install windows 8.1 on it, because the laptop came with windows 8.1 driver disc.
However, I try the wireless connection once again , one final try before I clean install the OS.
It turns out the internet connection is connected. Ping is quite stable, got a small drop. Nonetheless, IT'S CONNECTED!!!
I don't know what happened, I tried thousand ways yesterday and gave up. Today I don't set anything just try connecting with static IP set the ipv4 just like I did yesterday, and it connects without hassle!! is there a pc fairy or what?
The possible way I can think of is the router's internet connection's got restarted since It's a new day at office.
Despite how it solved still mystery to me, I think I mark this thread as Solved.

WVC54GCA Wireless connection drops off everyday.

I have to restart the camera everyday beacuse it looses it wireless connection. I don't have a lenght of time it stays connected. I'm using a Linksys WAP54G connected to a RVS4000 router. I see others are haveing the same problem. My laptop stays comnnected so I don't think it is the WAP.

You shouldn't have to do this, if you give each camera a fixed IP.
I have 4 cameras, I'm using one on a cable and the other 3 wirelessly.
The wireless ones all drop off and fall asleep at anytime during the day/night, but the one on thr cable doesn't.
I think, it's a communications/handshaking problem within the wireless network. When the wireless signal fluctuates too much, the cameras don't come back.
I solve this with a ping to the cameras. The first ping usually comes back dead with 100 % packet loss.
The second ping may take 3000 ms.
The third ping usually gets them back to normal, around 2-3 ms.
All is good after that (for a while).
I don't seem to have that problem, when the cameras are streaming. Sometimes I get a short break in the stream after a while. I've put this down to heat developing in the camera, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, Ithink, a static IP is a must for these cameras, if you use them wirelessly.
Cheers

Wireless connection to my Laptop (Windows 8) and my HP 5520

My HP 5520 all in one printer is having problems connecting wirelessly (it may be since I had BT Infinity router installed) I get message unable to connect to printer,but when I check the printer window says printer is connected to the correct IP address,If I switch printer off & back on again all is fine for a while until I have a break from printing of half hour or more when I get the same message,I can also restore it by using the wireless set up proceedure & pressing the button on the router,but again it seems to lose contact after a break of half hour or so,I have been on to Know How team as printer is under guarantee but they dont seem able to help ????

Hi Mick25,
I have seen the IPV6 cause interference before, often times turning this feature off will resolve the issue.
On the front screen of the printer please touch the Wireless icon. There are 4 icons across the top, the Wireless is the second one from the left. In the Wireless Menu, arrow down to Advanced Settings. I would like to turn off the IPV6, arrow down to IPV6 and select OFF.
If this does not resolve the issue, you may consider setting a static IP. Use the following link for instructions written by PrintDoc.
Please let me know if one of these solutions resolves the issue. I will gladly follow up if you require further assistance.

Wireless connection works only on Windows

I am lucky if while running my Mac OS I get wireless internet connection for 3 seconds all day. In Windows XP, though, I connect and stay connected. Why is that? I have all things updated for both opperating systems.

I am having the same problem. Often, when I boot it up, it does not connect to my router although my Macbook and WinXP laptops do. Sometimes, if I leave it for about 2-3 minutes, it will spontaneously connect, at other times I have to re-enter the SSID and wep key for it to work. Hopefully it is only driver related and they come out with updated drivers soon.
Does it work any better with an Airport extreme? I am thinking of getting one only because I can plug an external hd into it (for shared backup purposes). I currently use a Linksys WRT54G router which works fine for everything else.

Wireless connections turns off automatically

I download some new updates about a month and a half ago. Since those updates I am not able to get onto my wireless network. Sometimes it come up when I turn the computer on but it will lose the connection other times it won't be on when I turn on the computer. If it does lose the connection I have to turn my airport off and then on again, manually go into system preferences and click on network and then go through the locations and it will turn right back on again. It never did this before those updates. I've also called the mac support line and took it into the mac store and they both didn't know what to do with the problem so they sent me home. Also isn't anyone else having problems where their ichat turns off at certain times of the day?? Also does anyone know if the mouse is covered under warrenty because the ball doesn't let me scroll anymore.
OH my teacher suggested I create a new user and that should solve the network problem....what do you think???
Thanks

nicole, there are many threads about something wrong with the 10.4.8 update that seems to cause airport outtages. See this thread and compare if it is the same trouble you're seeing: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=749945&tstart=0

Fn+F5 does not work for Wireless Connections.

Hi, I have Lenovo G580 Notebook. I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 PRO. I have installed all the required driver and components from Lenovo Drivers support website (Including the Power Management Software). When I had Windows 7, I used to press Fn+F5 on the keyboard to access the shortcut to wireless connections. But in Windows 8, when I press Fn+F5, It displays Airplane Mode ON/OFF. In Windows 8 PC settings, the wireless as well as Bluetooth options have greyed out. I have installed the right Bluetooth driver (Atheros AR3011 Bluetooth 3.0) and wireless driver (Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless network driver). But still no way to turn on the Wireless network and Bluetooth.
What to do? Any Ideas?

Satellite P300-18M no wireless connection with Win XP Pro

Hello people!
I recently bought a P300-18M and installed WinXP Pro SP3 on it. Everything works fine except the wireless connection. It sais the switch for wireless connection is off, since it cannot find any networks, though the switch is on and the wireless LED is lighted up.
I've checked the FN+F8 hotkey, i've selected wireless only here...
I downloaded the most recent Intel 5400 drivers for the network card, but still it won't find any networks :(
Who can help me out?
Greets from holland, Leon

Hi
There is also a WLan switch at the notebooks side.
This switch must be enabled too.
Please check this!
Additionally you could check the WLan card properties in device manager.
There should be a tab called Advanced.
There are different settings which you should check. For example you can choose the different Wlan standards like 802.11 A B G etc

Lenovo IdeaPad V460 Wireless connection problem

hey andrew5s,
try uninstalling the wireless driver for your unit, let windows install its generic driver.
test your wireless with the generic driver.
later go to : http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=287385
and install the wifi driver that is available here. test your connection again

Wirelessly Connected to Home Hub 3, Cannot Get Int...

Hello,
BT Infinity installed on 6th June Home Hub 3 (type B). Previously on BT Broadband.
One laptop computer connects to the hub but will not connect to the Internet wirelessly (connects wired). Running Windows 7. Cannot surf, Skype.
Have been on to tech support (for hours!) they tried all the usual (change channel, update drivers, took control of laptop remotely, everything possible done).
Still not working, although did get a very brief sporadic connection.
Computer in question (Samsung Netbook, "n" connection) worked perfectly on old BT Broadband, works out of the house on wifi connections.
Has anyone had this problem? Are there any solutions?
Thanks.

Hi guys you most likely have this solved already but just incase I have recently encountered the same problem with my 'netbook'
I have tried everything from installing new drivers to creating a 'disable' registry key for IPV6 .. The way I solved this and hope it works for you was...
Go to you your sharing point and open wireless network connection.
Click properties
In the dialogue box uncheck 'internet protocol version 6 (tcp/ipv6)
Then above it click 'configure'
Another dialogue box will open informing you that you have made changes.
Click 'yes'
This will open up in my case 'RealTek' driver.
Click on 'advanced' tab
'Wireless mode'
Go to right hand side of dialogue box and select 'value' drop down box
Select 'IEEE 802.11b/g'
These deselects the 'n' router aspect as I believe our network adapters can't function with this.
Now click 'ok'
Let computer re-connect to router.
Now try opening web pages.
Problem solved (",)
Hope this helps guys.
If you want to disable the IPV6 through registry I will put up details on how to do this but I believe this should suffice.

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

Cisco vpn client..
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

Photosmart 6180 All-in-One Wireless Connection After Windows 7 Laptop Added to Network

I replaced a broken Vista laptop with a new Windows 7 64-bit laptop. After I installed my Photosmart 6180 All-in-One, the printer stopped working correctly when we try to connect to it wirelessly.
I followed all the directions HP provides for updating the printer software and drivers for Windows 7.
We've tried all the suggestions for resetting the printer that we can find on the HP forums.
The printer works properly when connected via USB cable to a Vista laptop.
I was not able to get the printer to work via USB cable connected to the Windows 7 laptop.
When we try to connect via the wireless signal, regardless of Vista or Windows 7, the printer goes into an endless initialization loop.
We need to determine whether achieving a wireless connection is hopeless. If it is not, we need step-by-step instructions on how to resolve the issue.
The security system for the printer is WEP. We connect through a wireless router provided by Verizon FIOS.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Some of HP's printers do not support WEP shared. If you are using WEP shared this could be the problem. I would suggest turning off the WEP security temporarily to see if that fixes the issue. If it does then you can look at changing the security to WEP Open system authentication.

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of server

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. I have a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of servers and trying to reconnect this way. These methods have worked temporarily, but the same problem keeps coming back. Most of the time my personal wireless connection does not even come up among the list of available networks. My fellow flatmates have PCs and both of them are able to connect to the network without problem.
The router is a d-link model DIR-615. I am not tech savy, so if any other information need to be provided in order to better understand my situation, please let me know.
Please help me!

If I open the list of networks in a window it says "connection timeout," but if I just select it from the drop down it tries for awhile and then stops with no prompt. When I try to run network diagnostics it says "sorry, we can't connect to the internet" (or some solution-free variation of that)
