Wireless turned off on laptop

I have an hp gateway lap top computer I think model E56R49u, and believe my wireless is turned off and there is no button to click on or anything. Can anybody help?

Hi grazier2102, welcome to the HP Forums. The part number you provided refers to an HP ProLiant. If this is correct, it is a commercial product and would be better addressed in the commercial forums.
It sounds more like you have a Gateway product, if that is the case, I suggest you contact Gateway, who are not affiliated with HP.
Thanks.

Why do I have to reconnect to my Network manually every time I turn off my laptop? But yet it stores my password.

Why do I have to reconnect to my network every time I turn off my laptop? But yet it stores my password. It has been happening ever since I upgraded to OS X Lion. I have two default wireless routers I connect to (my home and work) and yet everytime I turn on my computer I have to manually select which network I want to join from the drop down menu at the top of my desktop. Any suggestions? I dont want to have to manually choose, it should just look for those two networks automatically and connnect to whichever one is available.

It was already set to Automatic......and still it doesnt connect to my network.

How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

Hello everyone
I am selling my Portege R830-10Q so I want to restore it to factory settings (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.
I have successfully brought the laptop to factory settings by using the _TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard_ and choosing *Recovery of Factory Default Software (Recover to out-of-box state)*. However, at the end of the recovery process and after everything is re-installed I was not able to TURN OFF the laptop. I was only given the option of restarting it. After restating it, the Windows set-up process starts.
I don't want to set-up Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows set-up for the person who buys the laptop from me. How can I switch off the laptop after the system recovery without having to set up Windows?
I'd really appreciate your help.
Regards
Pedro

When recovery procedure is finished and you are asked for restart just press power button and switch it off. I think it only thing you can do.
Anyway, why not to start Windows and go through setup option. New owner can change this basic settings anyway. As username put Admin and language and keyboard can be set as default.
For instance, if you have German recovery image set everything to German. New owner can change it anyway.

Hello,
Have you tried upgrading the ThinkPad T61's wireless drivers as well? If so, did that make any difference?

HP Officejet 6700 Premium shows offline everytime we turn off our laptops...

Help!! I now have a second new HP printer that's behaving just like the other new HP printer that I bought 3 months ago, that is now packed up to go back to Office Depot - a Photosmart 6520. I replaced it with an Officejet 6600/6700.
They both do the same thing, when they go to sleep/standby/idle, they go offline. Only way to reconnect is to turn the printer off and on, then you have 15 minutes (longest setting) before it goes offline again.
This is a JOKE! I've had the HP C6350 for four years prior to this, and NEVER had this problem. HP has screwed something up big time. When everyone else is going plug an play, HP is doing the opposite. Please help, this is killing me, my marriage and my kids...seriously. It's not funny.

These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and make your router secure and hack proof.
1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
    This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this
    first if needed.
2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
    printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
    Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
3. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
4. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
5. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
6. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
   system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
7. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
   they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
8. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 5 mins. Power on router wait 3 mins.
9. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.

I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

Hi
I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

Wireless turning off during Video Streaming/Online...

Hey all. I thought I'd ask around here because.. well, everywhere else has been entirely useless for me so far, barring improving my reception.
Basically, I'm currently having an issue where whenever I try to run a game that uses online features, even something as minimal as leaderboards, I lose all of my connectivity to the wireless, and it won't return again until I quit the game, or stop doing whatever is requesting the use of my internet. I also occasionally get this when streaming videos, such as YouTube, but in this instance it's a lot less regular. On top of all of this, my computer seems to be the only thing affected in the house. I've tried doing the same on another laptop, and using things such as my iPod, DS, PSP, and 360 in my room (Which, whilst suffering from poor connection and disconnects still, it doesn't seem to be when doing anything relating to gaming).
I've spent the past week trying out different things that were availible to me to see what the issue could be, and so far I've tried: Moving my computer across the room (It's a desktop, so moving it anywhere is difficult), Trying 3 different wireless adaptors at my house and in another PC at another house (Belkin F5D8010, Belkin F5D8013, and a Sitecom N Wireless USB), changing operating system, changing channels on the hub, and lowering encryption on the hub.
Had a few talks with Belkin, and they're pinning all the blame on the hub, and the fishtank between me and the hub, but I find it weird that the problem would be those, when I only lose connection whilst gaming. Anyone got any ideas? Please?

How to completely turn off Bluetooth and Wireless

Hey everybody,
I'm running Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp and I was wondering if anyone can assist me in how to completely turn off Bluetooth and Wireless connectivity so that I can reserve as much batter life while being in class taking notes without a plug-in source, but not uninstall. I know there is a Bluetooth control panel and I disabled it there but under "connect to" its still remains there. Basically I want to have the Bluetooth and Wireless turned off completely when I startup and still have the icons shown in the taskbar to let me know that they are still there.
Thanks!

Joergen Thomson, I can see that you have the same thoughts like I do, I wish they could release a software that is stable and better then this.
I dont have the energi or time to report all flaus back to cisco, this product have taking to much of my time and frustration already. Thank you so much for all the time you spend to try get this product stable and hopefully a good product.
I have a costumer that have a webservice that is IP restricted, For now I have to define more then 93 policys openening for the same service because this doesnt handle address list and groups. And all the times I had to set it back to factory default becasue of HTTP Admin server stopped, VPN Problem, Firmware Upgrades, "Packet Loss" and so on takes alot of time becasue I need to reconfig policies back.
For now to they release a firmware is stable I have take this piece off the network and put the back a old Fortinet 60 box.

Charge led blinks every second when Laptop NX9420 is turned off.

I have a new battery, in a HP Compaq NX9420 and it can run the laptop for 2 hours isch,
it can also run it on power adaptor only, battery removed, so both battery and charger is ok.
But,
When turning off the laptop from within windows it goes off and all is normal, after some 3-12 hours the charge led starts to blink amber/orange every second, if I press on/off button nothing happens, I have to remove the battery and slap it in again then it starts,
(after pressing on/off ofc.) the battery is slightly drained what I can see?
checked everything in bios but nothing
tested also HP Battery check and it says all ok.
Motherboard busted?
RTC battery weak? I still keeps track of time and settings bioswise.

Hi,
I don't know people call this but we normally call it as an "handsake", all smart batteries should do this way.
Regards.

My laptop keeps reinstalling then turning off

laptop keeps reinstalling then turns off straight after

Hi,
I had a similar problem. A very simple cheap and easy solution could be to buy something called an "Air Duster." This is simply compressed air which you can buy from many shops such as maplin electronis in the UK. Turn off your laptop, and spray this compressed air into the fan vents and fan inlets. It'll clear out the dust and should stop the over heating.
Trust me, it works!

hi the screen on my ibook just seems to randomly switch off. the computer will still be operating but the screen just stops working. sometimes after extended sleep the screen will flash then just be black. sometimes i can be working and it will just go. it is happening very frequent now and im having to turn off my laptop and turn it back on to get the screen back on, any ideas what the problem could be? thanks

oh right ok thanks for that info. i dont have any apple care left as mine is a 2004 model and i took the extended 2 years with the retailer i bought from (pc world) within the 1st 12 months the logic board went and when i took it back they didnt have a clue what to do because it was a mac - lol, why sell me insurance on it then!? im guessing they must have places they will send it off to that deal with apples but its gonna be a bit of a wait. hopefully they will just turn around and offer me a store credit or something that i could use to put towards a new macbook pro
