Wireless control light on G780 still on

Hi,
I have a minor problem with my G780 laptop machine, the wireless control light is always on, even after switching off all the Broadcom wireless card and the Bluetooth module in the Control Panel (Windows 8 64-bit).
I just updated the Broadcom card driver, did not help.
The problem is not critical, everything still works, but it's annoying.
Doeas someone know the solution to this?
Thanks,
Christopher

hi KBoniecki
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
When you said "the wireless control light", you probably mean the wireless status indicator light.

I haven't tried this on the G780 but for the G580 (which is a similar model), you can turn off the lights by doing either one of the following:
1. Press the Windows key‌ +R, type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter. On the Device Mananager, navigate to Network Adapters then right click on your wireless card (eg. Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter) and hit Disable.
2, Boot into the BIOS by tapping F2 on boot up then disable the Wireless LAN Support on the Conguration Tab.

Give it a shot.

My pavilion dv2418nr wireless switch light stays orange

My pavilion dv2418nr wireless switch light stays orange, will not go to blue, will not recognize any surrounding neighborhood connections. ISP says the router is fine, that it is the laptop switch not allowing the wireless card to read any connections. HP tech had me connect the Ethernet cord from the router to the laptop....I got on internet fine...however, that's a hard connect. Has anyone had this problem with their switch? i think until that little light turns blue I'm out of luck. Thanks for you help

Regarding the Touchpad, download the latest Synaptics Driver Installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp37001-37500/sp37065.exe
Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry for 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall. When this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click on the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again and see if this has helped.

Use LabView to control light wires

use LabView with a power point presentation to control light wires to turn on and off at specific times.
Using windows XP and microsoft power point. As well as LabView 6i or better.

That's fine. You have unlimited message space (at least it has been enough for all my needs so far) if you use the web interface to this forum from NI's website. Go to: http://www.ni.com/devzone/dev_exchange/
Coming to your question, there are two parts to your application:
1. hardware control -- obviously you will need some hardware that can output and regulate (software controlled) current. National Instruments has a wide selection of such hardware from plug-in cards to standalone modules. All this hardware integrates nicely with LabVIEW. Selecting the right one for your application can be tricky.
The best would be to either use the DAQ Designer or call and talk to a NI Sales person. The DAQ Designer can be accessed onlin
e here:
http://www.ni.com/devzone/dev_exchange/
2. I still do not understand how exactly you want to control this from PowerPoint. In any case, LabVIEW has an ActiveX Control container which can be used to display (and control) PowerPoint slides on a LabVIEW panel.
Hope this helps.

Wireless Control System Software

I could use some recommendations from the forums here. I have an 8-story apartment building in which the building management wants to install wireless to cover everyone and every floor. They also want to be able to manage all the APs from a centralized location. Obviously, a challenge since this is a new building and I can't do a site curvey yet.
But here's what I'm thinking from a theoretical standpoint. I'd probably want as many 1242AG access points as needed for actual coverage (anywhere from 2-20), since they handle lots of walls, etc. better than most other APs. I'd also want a 4402 WLAN Controller for handling anyone moving around, etc. Finally, I'd need the Wireless Control System software running on a server connected to the WLAN Controller.
First of two questions: does this all make sense to you, or am I over (or under-) thinking this?
Second question: I've found plenty of places where we can purchase licenses for the Wireless Control System software, but where is the software itself? Is it a free download with no licenses? Or does it come with the 4402 or something?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
You maybe don't need WCS - it's an nice extra, but you can just get a 4400-series controller and some APs and still configure security policies etc centrally and have the RF side of things auto-managed.
I'd get a 4400, and I'd get 1000-series APs (1010s if you just want built in antennaes or 1020s if you want to add external ones - 1010s should be find in most scenarios).
I've not used any 1200 series with the controllers yet, but heard reports of problems and the LWAPP firmware for these is pretty new - probably best to stick with the tried and tested ones for now.
Just leave yourself capacity on your 4400 controller for more APs in case you have some poor coverage areas, you can then just chuck up another AP to plug the hole, as it were...

SORRY WRT150N Wireless LED light not on

I purchased my WRT150N router almost 3 months ago and the first couple of times that I used it the wireless light and connectivity was fine but then I stopped using it for a while and now the wirless light will not come on and my laptop will not get a signal. I have tried many things and there is no wirless connection. I have a wireless adapter but it is not getting a signal. Any help on what I can do to get the wireless led light on and get connection???? I really need help.

have you tried powering the switch on or off? and still no light? have you already restarted you computer?

My mac pro suddenly stops working (2011), connection to the monitor stops, but de tiny light on computer still on and all sound stops. what's the problem?

my mac pro suddenly stops working (2011), connection to the monitor stops, but de tiny light on computer still on and all sound stops. what's the problem?

When the display turns off, it is not clear whether the computer has halted, or whether the display subsystem has failed.
Those tests determine whether:
a) Your Mac software had stopped working OR
b) Only the display had stopped working
If the pressing the Caps lock light on the keyboard lights the Caps Lock light on the keyboard, some software is still running -- your Mac has not halted.
If pressing Control-Eject on the keyboard, followed by the Return key shuts down your Mac, the software was still running.
¿Software was still running?
--Yes, the problem is ONLY in the display subsystem
--No, this is a computer-wide problem such as a kernel panic

HT1178 i am setting u a new time capsule. i already have a wifi setup in my office. now i want to use this time capsule just as a wireless backup machine. do i still need to attached a DSL cable, or it can connect to my existing wifi and start working ?

You probably can, but this type of configuration is not recommended or supported by Apple.
Two cautions if you want to try this:
1) The Time Capsule has to be configured to "Join" your existing wireless network in this type of setup...and to do that, you must know the exact type of wireless security that your network is using.
2) Backups are likely going to take twice as long. The wireless signal must travel from your computer to the wireless router and then from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule. Two "hops"......even if the computer is located close to the Time Capsule.
If you want to try this, we can tell you how....but with no guarantees on your results....since this is not officially supported.

HP C4780 wireless network light has gone out on the printer and my PC no longer ses the printer

Whilst scanning some photo's my pc lost connection with the printer. The wireless network light on the printers panel is no longer lit so I can't print or scan. I have tried turning the printer of and on again but the situation is the same. Has any one any idea how to solve this problem othr than buying a new printer?

Hi BikerBill,
I would probably uninstall the software, download the driver from hp.com and reinstall the printer. Here is a link for help on how to uninstall and reinstall. Click Here You can find the software download here. Just make sure your Operating System is listed there. Let me know how it goes.

Restart your phone by holding the sleep/wake button and the home button until it starts back up.

That is some sort of anomaly that I have also noticed. On the rare occasions when that happens, a restart corrects the issue.

Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller ?

Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller , for Rogue detection

Hi Joao,
The WCS is used in conjuntion with the WLC (Wireless Lan Controller) for Rogue Detection. It is not a must for this function but more of an add-on :)
The Cisco WCS is an optional network component that works in conjunction with Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access Points, Cisco wireless LAN controllers and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance.
From this doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6305/index.html
Overview of WCS
The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is a Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution management tool that adds to the capabilities of the web user interface and command line interface (CLI), moving from individual controllers to a network of controllers. WCS includes the same configuration, performance monitoring, security, fault management, and accounting options used at the controller level and adds a graphical view of multiple controllers and managed access points.
WCS runs on Windows 2003 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.0 and AS 4.0 servers. On both Windows and Linux, WCS can run as a normal application or as a service, which runs continuously and resumes running after a reboot.
The WCS user interface enables operators to control all permitted Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution configuration, monitoring, and control functions through Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. Operator permissions are defined by the administrator using the WCS user interface Administration menu, which enables the administrator to manage user accounts and schedule periodic maintenance tasks.
WCS simplifies controller configuration and monitoring while reducing data entry errors with the Cisco Unified Wireless Network Controller autodiscovery algorithm. WCS uses the industry-standard SNMP protocol to communicate with the controllers.

My Ipad and itouch cannot be connected ti wireless router tried changing setting still cannot connect

my Ipad and itouch cannot be connected ti wireless router tried changing setting still cannot connect

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Xbox 360 Wireless Control not working in W7 x64

Hey all,
I have read some topics in here about issues on a Xbox 360 Wireless Control connection in Windows 7 x64 (I'm on a Dell Inspiron n5110, 6gb ram, intel core i5). Thing is, in difference to all those threads, in my devices list there ain't any "unrecognized
devices" nor anything, so all the solutions listed don't work for me.
What I have done:
1) Installed the Accesories 1.2 for Windows 7 x64
2) Plugged the receiver to my usb (it got detected by windows, recognized and listed properly in the devices and printers, as a wireless receiver)
3) Turned the controller on, hitted the sync button on the receiver, then on the control... and I get a eternal green blink around the Xbox button, which never ends nor stays in one of the quadrants.
As I don't see nothing like "unidentified device" in the device admin, I simply can't use the "update drivers" stuff. What can I do, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
I would suggest you to follow these steps and check if the issue is resolved:
1. Verify that the accessory is an officially licensed Xbox 360 wireless accessory.
2. Examine or replace the batteries to make sure that you have fully charged the batteries in the Xbox 360 wireless accessory.
3. Move the receiver away from other devices that could interfere with the wireless communication between the receiver and the Xbox 360 wireless accessory.
Note: Devices such as wireless routers, cordless telephones, and microwave ovens can generate wireless interference.
4. If you are using a wireless keyboard or mouse, disconnect the keyboard or mouse and reconnect the the wireless gaming receiver. Then try reconnecting your Xbox 360 wireless device to the PC.
Also, you may try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for controller in device manager and check if this helps.
If the problem persists, then please contact Xbox support for further assistance. Here’s the link:
http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/support/xbox360/

Can Wireless Control System Send Alarms As Traps to a trap receiver

Can the Cisco Wireless Control System be configured to send its alarms as SNMP traps to a specified trap receiver ? if so how is that capability configured ? is it thru Notification Receiver ?

Yes, it can. And yes through the Notification Reciever. Pity though, it can only send traps in regards to Guest Account Activity such as guest association and authentication.
Hopefully future versions of WCS will be more versatile in that regard.
Cheers
