Wireless is not working on Satellite L500

I have a Toshiba Satellite L500 -1XZ and my wireless stop working. No front led light. BIOS settings of Wireless communication is on. In Device manager it appears installed correctly with no errors.
I change Windows 7 Ultimate and Professional and the same thing is happening. Yesterday I used the wireless on Win7 Ultimate and now it stopped from working.
Any idea?
Thanks

*Quite a few utilities or cards have a choice and they disable this WZC.*
*Try this:*
*click on start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, services, You will see Wireless Zero Configuration.*
*You can highlight and start this if this is stopped. This should be set to automatic as well.*
*Hope this helps.*
Did you check using the connectivity Doctor. If you cannot with Toshiba's tools and tried to config through windows wireless network config tool and is saying that it cannot do it and is asking the Wireless Zero Configuration to be reset or enabled then either you have to enable it. manually the WZC or change the registry to do it automatically whenever you boot it.

  • Keyboard wireless key not working after upgrading to windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I am having hp pavilion dv6-6165tx notebook, where keyboard having a wireless button that turns ON and OFF all wireless devices, After upgrading to windows 8.1, HP Connection Manager is not getting installed, as well as Key is not working, key color turns red and white but no action is performed.
    Kindly suggest me some solution.
    Note: HP Doesn't provide drivers for windows 8/8.1 ONLY WINDOWS 7 for hp pavilion dv6-6165tx.
    Thanks.

    Hi @Jayesh_Bhadja ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-6165tx Notebook and the Wireless keyboard not working correctly. Here is a link to troubleshoot the keyboard.
    The HP Connection Manager is something that is for Windows 7 not Windows 8.1. I would uninstall this from your Notebook.  Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating. It has a troubleshooting tool in this.
    Make sure all your updates have been completed. I would try restarting my Notebook a few times.
    If that does not help I would uninstall the keyboard from the Device manager.
    Thanks.

  • HP 5524 Wireless does not work after firmware upgrade

    HI,
    I have just purchased an HP5524.  After initial problems setting up the WPA key from the printer screen, I connected via USB, found the printer and swapped to wireless successfuly. I then installed the printer software on all my computers at home successfully over wireless.
    The printer then needed a firmware upgrade to support eprint (?), which is successfully connected, downloaded the fireware, installed and went through the boot cycles successfully. 
    However, ever since wireless will not work.  Before I return it to the retailer as "not fit for purpose" I thought I would ask the forum.  The diagnostics downloaded a tool, which I went through, but this did not offer solutions that I had not already tried.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting you query,
    In order to resolve the issue, please make sure the printer is placed closer to the router and uninstall the printer drivers already installed and then start the instalaltion and seelct teh connection type as wireless network. Then select use USB to configure wireless and when prompted conenct the USB cable and then select the network and enter the encryption key follow the onscreen  instructions.
    If the issue still persisits, please open the browser and in the address bar enter the IP address of the router and click on GO. This will take you to the router configuration page. On the router page, please click on Wireless Setup  and please make sure SSID Broadcast is enabeld and the Wireless Mode is set to Mixed or 802.11 B/G/N and the Wireless Channel is set to 11 and click on Apply. Then try to connect the printer to the network by using the CD.

  • Tecra A3 - Creative Mouse Wireless does not work

    My Creative Mouse Wireless does not work while touchpad is installed.
    Even if I disable the Touchpad, the mouse seal does not work.
    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
    Thank you,
    R.P.

    Hello
    On this way it is not easy to say what the problem is. I assume that you got some installations software for your external device. Install it and it should works.
    As far as I know functionality of external mouse doesn`t depend on touchpad settings.

  • Wireless conection do not work in Satellite R630-13U Code : PT31LE-00V006

    Hi all
    I have bought a new Satellite R630-13U Code : PT31LE-00V006CE two weeks ago. Problem is that I am not able to get connected to any Wireless network (neither open or encripted with WPA nor WEP).
    In my laptop I got it with Windows 7 installed. I am able to see the wireless network icon next to the clock down right corner of the screen, also I am able to select one of the netwoks that the pc detects and show in the list. Then once I select the network it asks me for the password, and if I introduce a wrong password, I get the right error message.
    Problem comes when I introduce the right password..... then after a couple of mins where I can see the "process bar" screen I get an error message that just says " Not able to connect to "WNetwork Name"".
    As I said I have tried this with several networks open or with security and with both levels of security (WPA or WEP). I have tried this with different networks, with different routers, and in different places.... but never got a wifi connection with this new laptop.
    I have tried uninstalling the broadcom adapter, and reinstalling it downloading the driver from the official toshiba web site, also I have installed the last version of the "Added Value Package".... but still is not working.
    I have other friends with HP, o DELL that are using Windows 7 which are able to connect to the networks I am not , and with no problem..
    What else should I try to get this fixed??
    Thanks a lot

    Hi all
    Thanks a lot for the answer, but I dont think I have understood it correctly. What you mean is that I need to use the same encription that works with the router and with the Wireless card of the laptop (Broadcom).... but for me that would not be the right answer I need.
    Imagine that this can be the solution, so we need to change the security settings of my home wifi network and of our office to the one being accepted by the laptop,..... but what happens if I need to go to a customer, or to a cafe.... Do I have to ask them to change the security settings???.... my other laptos (even toshiba's) works fine with other networks... routers.... why is this one not working?.
    I have uninstalled the wifi card driver and installed it from the last one found in the toshiba's support site.... dont know really what else I should do.
    Please any advice will be very pleased.
    Regards

  • Satellite A350 - wireless is not working

    Hi, I have a Satellite A350 running Vista 64
    I'm having problem with my wireless not working and light (next to switch) not turning on, even though the switch is on. I have had this happen quite a few times and easily fixed it with FN+F8. Although, now FN+F8 does not exist, e.g. when holding down the FN key, there is no F8 (wireless) option available. I have updated to the latest drivers of both the Realtek network adapter and BIOS. Neither have fixed the problem.
    I consulted the Toshiba Manual and discovered, "If no wireless communication device is installed, no dialog box (FN+F8) will appear." When I looked at the Device Manager, the network adapter (Realtek) was working properly.
    I have also tried numerous system restores in an attempt to undo any update which may have caused the problem.
    What else can I do?

    Hi.
    I've posted the same problem in thread :
    "Satellite L450D - Wireless network adapter has disappeared"
    Also, from thread "Wireless quit working" :
    "My wife has a Satellite L305-S5968 which she bought last month. The wireless had been working fine until she returned from a vacation (where she used the wireless at her brothers home). Once home, it quit working. Coincidently, we started getting a USB Device Not Recognized message. I looked in Device Managers and did not find any wireless adapters under the Network Adapters. There is a Realtek Ethernet adapter listed. So I tried a Ethernet cord and got connectivity immediately. What can I do?
    My wife called Toshiba support. Here it turns that when the goes to sleep or the battery gets overcharged, it causes the hardware to malfunction. She had to take out the battery, pull the power cord and hold down the power button to discharge any remaining power in memory. She reconnected the power cord, powered up, uses F2 to go to setup utility and did a restore of all original hardware settings (with F9). Everything worked (we were not aware at the time but the printer and corded mouse were not working either). We are back in business. Maybe this will help someone else."
    I saw these too late, my laptop had already gone back to Currys. I've just been called to say I can pick it up, this has been fixed!

  • WI-FI is not working on Satellite C50-A-179

    Hello everyone!
    I own Toshiba Satellite C50-A-179 (PSCGAE) laptop with Windows 8 and recently I've tried installing Connectify on it.
    However, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter was missing on the laptop, and because of that Connectify couldn't work. I've tried to enable/install it somehow using tips found on the internet. One of the suggestion was to reinstall the Wireless Adapter driver.
    I uninstalled the original driver, and reinstalled it again after downloading it from Toshiba website ( [here|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=312&selProduct=7934&selSh ortMod=3969&language=13&selOS=40&selType=97&yearup load=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=al lMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=all &selectedLanguage=13&type=97&page=1&ID=86778&OSID= 40&driverLanguage=42] )
    I'm sure I downloaded and installed the right driver for the right adapter which is "Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter". I made sure before the installation to check all the information about the adapter and the driver.
    However, after the reinstallation wifi has stopped working completely:
    -the wireless network connection icon/adapter from "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections" is there but it does not behave as it should, it just looks as a generic network connection icon and not a specific one-basically it doesn't represent the actual adapter and hasn't got the name of it in the note;
    -wifi option in Windows 8 settings menu-Change PC settings-Network has disappeared altogether (bluetooth option is still there and so is airplane mode option);
    -wifi can be turned on by pressing enable from the righ click menu of that generic network connection I've mentioned, but it won't pick up any signal and won't find any connections even though there definitely are some.
    There are no yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager list and the wireless adapter is there as well, behaving and pretending as if everything was all right and working properly.
    I've tried Troubleshooting, installing driver using Windows Update, installing and updating driver from its properties menu in Device Manager, and all kinds of things like that, but none of it has helped and wifi still does not work.
    Basically, the laptop seems to be thinking that the adapter is working properly and everything is fine HW and SW wise, but in reality it isn't. I really don't know what else I should try, I don't want to reinstall the whole operating system because I'm afraid it (or I) would mess everything up even more (messing up even more drivers).
    I'm running on a cable internet connection now, and I'm glad at least that is working (I really need the laptop for work and I can't afford to loose it for a day, let alone for longer)
    Could anyone please help me?
    Any ideas how to fix this and make wifi work again?
    I'll be really thankful for any advice.
    Thank you, Miko31.

    Hi
    In case the WLan card is recognized properly in device manager, the Wlan driver has been installed properly and I dont think that there could be a problem with WLan driver.
    In my opinion you should check if the WLan card is enabled properly by using the FN key combination
    Furthermore if Wlan has been enabled properly you should try to Add new WLan and should configure the Wifi once again.
    This can be done in control panel-> Network & Sharing center -> Manage wireless networks (on the left) -> Add button
    > However, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter was missing on the laptop,
    Regarding the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter
    You could enable this in device manager. Here choose your "network adapters", then you should find the Virtual Wifi Adapter. Now do right click it and enable it.
    It could be also possible that Virtual Wifi Adapter is hidden. In such case you should first unhide it from the device manger, then re-enable the adapter from the device manger tools.
    After that, you have to start your cmd (console) with admin right and should type:
    +netsh wlan start hostednetwork+

  • Lan and WLan does not work on Satellite L40-18W

    Hi all
    I have TOSHIBA Satellite L40-18W and my problem 1- wireless not work & wired lan does not work.
    I have download driver and every thing is ok but it does not work ( when i search by wireless i do not find any network. My router is working fine)
    plzz help meeeee

    Hi
    Its hard to understand what you mean by not working.
    What does this mean exactly?
    Are you not able to connect to the internet or what?
    Usually if the WLan card and the LAN card have been recognized properly in device manager then the drivers are working fine and the issue could be related to wrong router configuration or maybe to some enabled firewalls, etc
    Firstly I recommend checking the router settings. Check if the router has been configured with the right data from ISP and if all other common options have been set correctly.
    The notebook supports Realtek Wlan and LAN card.
    Check if Wlan card uses the same WLan standard like the WLan router and if right encryption has been used too.

  • WRT54G not working with Satellite internet

    Please help!
    I purchased the Linksys WRT54G a few months ago, set up my home network (laptop with wireless running XP, desktop hard wired to router running 2000, and desktop wireless running XP) everything worked great!
    I got the internet installed.  We ( the installer and I ) got the internet to work on my laptop, and he left, said the rest is up to me!  I did not think it would be to bad, but I am stuck!!
    My laptop no longer connects to the network! - I can ping the WRT54G but can not see any thing else.  I can connect to the internet only if I plug directly into my laptop, if I go into the Linksys it will not work from any computer!  My other two computers still see the network and can talk to one another but not to the laptop.  I can no longer print from the laptop (which I could do before) the printer is off of the 2000 destop, used to work great!
    I have tried some things that I seen here on the forms, "cloned the Mac address" "updated the firmware" and "power cycled" until I am blue in the face, but to no avail!
    Additional info - There is a Linksys 8 port 10/100 Switch placed after the Satellite modem, to connect some other hard wired pc's in the house.
    It goes Satellite modem - Switch - (some computers attached here) - Router - (rest of the PC's attach here).
    I hope you can understand my ramblings!
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Satellite modem: LAN side set to 192.168.1.1 (assumed)
      dhcp enabled: range: 192.168.1.20-200
    Switch: if this is an intelligent switch set it to 192.168.1.2
      dhcp: disabled
    Router: set to 192.168.1.3
      dhcp: disabled
    If the satellite modem using a different base setting (ie. 192.168.222.1) you must adjust all other values(222) to match.

  • FN + F8 not working on Satellite P750

    we have had no trouble using the wireless connection on our Satellite P750 notebook but this morning my husband did the FN+F8 button, the light went out, came back on almost immediately and we lost wireless connection.
    When we push FN +F8 again its says to turn on the wireless communication switch.
    Please note - we have searched top, bottom, both sides and back and cannot find any switch, or anything with the same symbol that the F8 button has on it that mighjt be a switch.
    Neither did he turn any switch off befoire or after pushing FN+F8 so I don't know how the switch or wherever it is could be turned off.
    On looking under network connections there is nothing to indicate that the wireless isn't working. the cell phone can connect via the wireless so its something on the computer itself.
    I have searched other threads and nothing helpful has come up.

    Hello
    Have you tried to restart the notebook and test WLAN connectivity again?
    I dont have this notebook model but can you please check if WLAN button is placed between keyboard and display. It must be one of the function buttons.
    According the manuals (page 47) it must be the third button from the left (power button, eco button and then WLAN button). Can you enable/disable WLAN using this button?
    Please test it and send some feedback.

  • What external modem will work with Satellite L500-1XL running Windows 7

    Hi,
    When in Spain I need to use dial up to the internet via Telefonica.
    I am assuming the L500-1XL does not have an internal modem?
    What external modem will work with the L500-1XL running Windows 7 ?
    Many thanks in advance for your help.
    A

    Hi
    Youre right Satellite L500 doesnt have an internal modem so you need an external one.
    I think you can buy every modem that is at least compatible with Vista. Alternative ask your authorized service provider or favorite computer dealer
    Friend of me has good experience with 56K modem from USRobotics like this one:

  • Wireless connection not working after installed newest Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update programs

    Hi, everyone!
    I've installed some newest programs through Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update and just after that my wireless connection has stopped working. Here are the installed programs:
    ThinkPad UltraNav Driver for Windows 32-bit version 15.0.24.0;
    ThinkPad Power Management Driver version 1.60;
    ThinkPad Modem Adapter version 7.80.8.0;
    ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration Package Setup version 3.11.0001;
    Inter Wireless WiFi Link for Window XP version 13.02.0000;
    ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows XP version 5.62;
    ThinkPad Power Manager version 1.88;
    Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox (32-bit) version 6.0.5514.61.
    I've got a Lenovo T61 with Windows XP SP3.
    Also in Device Manager, there are now the two "Other devices" bellow with a yellow question point and a yellow exclamation point by side:
    Bluetooth Hands-free Audio;
    Bluetooth LAN Access Server Driver.
    Does anyone have any idea what can be done to have these issues solved?
    P.S.: when I click Fn+F5 it shows only the Bluetooth Radio.

    Hello and welcome,
    I've seen something like this on XP machines after updates a couple of times now - my T61, a friend's T400, and his daughter's T61.  I guess that makes 3
    _Maybe_  your situation is the same.
    The fix in all 3 cases was to go to device manager and uninstall the wifi driver.  Then scan for hardware changes and let it reinstall the driver.  Something about how Access Connections or some other networking mangement thingy was hooking the drivers I guess.
    On both of the friend's machines, the wired networking was also b0rked.  Same fix there.
