WRT310N Drops wireless capability over time

I have a WRT310N that is approximately 30 months old. I could not find a marking to tell if it is V1 or V2. The firmware is the same as it was delivered with.
THe device has performed flawless until a two weeks ago when the wireless side started dropping. It drops the wireless ability after an extended period of time. The time can be from as little as a few hours to 3 or 4 days I have read the posts about upgrading firmware and now I'm wondering why, if the device worked for 30 months that it now needs new firmware?
The only fix that I have found to restore the wireless side is to power down the device, wait about a minute then power it back up.
Is it time to retire this device or is there a sound solution?
Thank you in advance.

How many wired and wireless computers do you have in the network?
Is the connection dropping on only one wireless computer or all the wireless devices?
If the wireless connection is dropping on only one wireless computer then it might be the issue with the wireless adapter on your computer also.
Try changing some wireless settings on the router.
Connect the computer to the router and open the setup page of the router. Go to Wireless tab and change the wireless channel to 11. Save the settings. Go to Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the Beacon Interval to 75, RTS and fragmentation threshold to 2304. Save the settings and power cycle the router.
Try to connect to the wireless network and observer the wireless connection.
Update the drivers of the wireless adapter on your computer.

  • IPhones and iPods ALL drop wireless at same time-but not iPad??

    In my family, we have mutliple Apple devices online at the same time.
    iPhone 3s
    iPhone 4s
    two iPods
    iPad 2
    I also have two work laptops and a personal laptop, all running Windows 7. Plus, I also have an XBOX 360 on a Linksys wireless gaming router (older one...can't run WPA2 security, only WPA)
    They are connected to internet with Netgear WNR2000 wireless router, running WPA security, up to 54 GB/s (I believe on 2.4 GHz).
    HERE'S MY ISSUE:
    About once every day or two, all of my iPhones and iPods will drop off of the wireless network - at the SAME TIME.  However, every other device in my house is running perfectly smoothly on the network.  Including the iPad 2, which never has any network issues.   The "fix" is, going over to the router and cycling it off and on again.  But that is not a real fix. 
    The dropping is kind of random, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening.  But usually after several hours after a recycle.
    I have tried all kinds of router channels,1 -11, I have tried WEP and both kinds of WPA security (AES and TKIP).  I cannot do WPA2 because of my older Linksys access point.
    The problem started happening when I added security to the router.  But I do not want to have the router without security any longer, so removing it is not an option.
    Does anyone have any idea why all of my iPhones and iPods would drop the wireless network at the exact same time, however, my iPad 2 and every other device in my household NEVER drops?
    I have already tried renaming the network, and that doesn't help, and I have tried moving the channel around - no better.  I am trying reserved IP addressing for my i-devices...but am not optimistic. (I read about trying this somewhere...)
    Please help!  If someone could at least help explain what is common between my iPhones and iPods but not common with the iPad it might help me figure this out.

    @wjosten
    I agree that network interference can cause problems. I have surveyed the other close networks and tried multiple channels, same result.
    But if it were bad channels, I don't know how that would explain why only the same set of iDevices would all be thrown off network at same time (and it's always the same ones),  while my other devices all work fine. 
    My router is only single channel, so everything is on the 2.4ghz band.

  • N-Wireless deteriorating over time

    I have a problem where after a while (a day or two maybe), the speed of file transfer over wireless (not backup speed, just copy from 1 mac to another or to TC HDD) drops to G speeds. A restart of TC solves this issue and the speed returns to about 8MB/s. After some time it drops to 1.5MB/s.
    I am using the N-only 5GHz. What I am wondering is there some auto-reboot option on TC to reboot it a night or something. This is pretty irritating, speed was the reason I got N wireless in the first place.

    well, I have increased the value, but it's still the same. Just yesterday I bough a new lenovo x300 and it also has n wireless and the same thing is happening to it as well, so it's not an os thing as this laptop is running vista. The recent update also didn't seem to solve the issue.
    I mean doesn't anyone notice this? It's quite easy to see when transferring anything over wifi - the speed doesn't go past 2MB/s

  • WRT310N drops wireless.

    On a regular basis, my WRT310N will lose wireless functionality, but only when my laptop is connected to it wirelessly and I turn it off suddenly or it goes to sleep or hibernation. When I turn it back on or wake it up, the PC works fine, I can see other wireless networks in the area (So its own wireless adapter is working) but I can no longer see the SSID of my wireless network setup on the WRT310N.
    I've tried rescanning, rebooting my PC and it all works fine. There is nothing wrong with my PC. No matter what I do with it, I can see and connect to other wireless networks. I can also plug a ethernet cable from the WRT310N router and connect to my network, but not wirelessly. The only way to bring wireless functionality back is to reset or reboot the WRT310N. I have always go to my router, unplug it, wait a second and then plug it back in. After it boots back up, it works fine, but only until my laptop gets turned off or goes to sleep.

    Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
    the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
    router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
    cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
    to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
    in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!
    Open the setup page of router using 192.168.1.1 then put in the
    password as admin...all you need to do is do the wireless settings such
    as Radio Band Frequency to Standard 20 MHZ frequency,channel to 11.
    Also,the advanced wireless settings to Beacon Interval=50,Frag
    thres=2306 & Rts thres=2307 & then uncheck a Block Anonymous Internet
    Requests & it will definately work!!!

  • WRT310N V2 Repeatedly Drops Wireless

    I have a WRT310N V2 wireless router, with a WMP600N dual-band PCI card in my computer, using Vista 64x.  I have had the same set-up for the past year or so, even after moving to a new apt, which I have been in now for 3 months.  It has worked perfectly, up till recently. Over the past week however, my router has been dropping the connection, to the point of having to wait for it to show back up in my connections list.  I made no changes to my setup, prior to the problems.  I am kind of doubting it's my wireless card, as I can still see other routers.  I have tried changing the MTU size, the Threshold, made sure the firmware was up to date, etc.  I re-installed the drivers for my NIC and even changed ports, just to be on the safe side.  I don't know what else to do, except go out and get another router.  I have to use wireless, as I have nowhere to run cables at.  I had this problem before with a Linksys wireless router, but figured it was due to the extreme amount of bandwidth my game uses online.  Ironically, both routers are doing the same thing.  They hit lag every 60 seconds almost on the money.  I'm a gamer, so this is a huge inconvenience for me.  Any help would be appreciated.

    The connection is dropping on only one wireless computer or other wireless devices also.
    If the connection is dropping only on one wireless computer then you can try to update the drivers for the wireless adapter.
    If the connection is dropping on other wireless devices/computers also then it might be because of wireless router.
    Try to upgrade/re-flash the latest Firmware on the router. Download the Firmware file on your computer. Open the setup page of the router. Go to Administration tab and click on Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the Firmware file and upgrade the firmware. While upgrading the Firmware of the router, your computer should be connected to the router with the Ethernet cable.
    After upgrading the Firmware, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure the router.

  • 160N Version 1 - Wireless Range Degrading Over Time

    Hello,
    I have owned a version 1.0 160N now for about 5 months and all was well with everything.  The range was better than any router I owned in the past until about three weeks ago when connectivity to my furthest outlying wireless adapters began to get worse.  It has been slowly degrading to the point that I cannot get a reliable connection unless the computer is within 30 foot clear line of sight.  Symptom is that PING to the router is not reliable and Web pages will not load even though the connection is made and maintained.  I was wondering if any others have experienced this degradation in range over time.  It is to the point now where I may ditch it and go get a 54G if I can find one.  Will a hard reset and configuration reload possibly solve the issue.  I also see that a firmware upgrade is available that is supposed to "improve wireless range" is available for the 1.0 version.  Has anyone done this upgrade with ill effects or a noticiable increase in range?  It is a total pain to have reconfigure all the MAC filtering and Port Forwarding but at this rate I will soon have a shiney, sleek, black doorstop.  Thanks for any insight you can provide.

    Yes you can Upgrade the router's firmware as it would improve your wireless range...
    Download Firmware 2.89MB...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
    Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • Tecra A11's wireless capability turns off several times a day

    I have a Tecra A11 S3540 and it has started to shut off the wireless capability by itself. The switch is in the on position and I have updated all the Network Adapter Drivers.
    What should I do to correct this problem as it is difficult to do any work on the laptop!!

    I have the exact same problem as Dink, and don't know what to do.
    I'm trying to disable WLAN, and seeing if that works, and since the last replyee didn't tell you how, go to start, search for '*device manager*'. Then open that and double click on *'network adapters*'. One of those is your WLAN thingy. Double click your WLAN card and go to '*power management*' and uncheck the box that says "*Turn off this device to save power*." I did that for the 4 devices within network adapters because I wasn't sure which one to change.
    Hope this helps, for my sake and yours.

  • Turn on wireless capability - Satellite A660 - 18N

    Toshiba Satellite A660 - 18N
    I have used this laptop to connect to the internet via a wireless connection since I purchased the unit some 3 months ago.
    Just over a week ago the wireless connection dropped out and I have not been able to reconnect via a wireless connection, cable connection is okay.
    When I check to see what the problem is the dialogue ' Wireless communication is disalbled - Please turn on the wireless communication switch'. Another dialogue box also comes up when I trouble shoot elsewhere 'Turn on wireless capability use the switch on the front or side of the computer or function keys if available to enable wireless capability on this computer'.
    I have tried FN with F8 - but it states turn on the wireless communication switch - as far as I am aware there is no manual switch for switching wireless on/off?
    Any help would be fantastic as this has become a pain.
    Many thanks.

    Hi
    For A660 series make sure that the wireless button is lit up on the media controllers (the one across the top) if it doesn't stay lit up, try to uninstall the TVAP - Toshiba value added package on the control panel, reinstall it using TOSAPINS - Toshiba application installer (go on mytoshiba folder and look for toshiba application installer), restart the laptop. Try to Fn + F8, make sure that the wireless is on and try to connect to your network
    If still not working, try to check the version of your driver. try to uninstall/reinstall, if not go ahead and update the driver.
    Check also if there's an update for the BIOS
    If it can detect the the network but cannot browse the internet try the following:
    Power cycle. (Shut down the laptop, disconnect the charger and turn it over and remove the battery. Leave the laptop for 20 secs and put the battery back)
    Boot on safe mode with networking (Tap F8 while turning on the laptop). On advanced boot option select safe mode with networking.
    Try to connect, wired and wireless -- if you can connect either with wired or wireless
    Try to go on command prompt (start, on search programs and files time in 'cmd' ) type in 'ping www.google.com' if you can get 4 replies and 0 lost. the problem is on the security settings. try to disable your firewall.
    If still not working do the system recovery.

  • E4200 v2 - Dropping wireless connection

    I purchased this router as an upgrade from my Cisco/Linksys E3000 that I have had for over a year. I use wireless almost exclusively in my household and when the E4200 V2 is working it is great but then it seems to slow down. Actually it is not slowing down but dropping packets on the wireless segments after varying periods of time. The wireless connection does not drop ( i used vistumbler to view the connection in real time ) but all connections exhibit dropped packets. I had Amazon send me a replacement and it did the exact same thing. I even restored the router to default and setup just the wireless connection both using the Cisco connect and the web interface and the problem still happens. To test this I set a constant ping of the router's gateway address on my WLAN and observed 25% to 40% dropped packets. After a reboot it is more stable, but it becomes more unstable over time. The wired connections are solid and did not drop any packets but wireless is a joke!

    There are many reasons why you experience poor signal or connection. Your intermittent wireless connection has a relation to the kind of setup that you have in your home or office. Is the connection dropping on all wireless computers or just one?
    You have mentioned, you set the router to factory defaults and re-configured it. Did you try changing the channel on the router to either 1, 6, 9 or 11? There could be an interference with other wireless devices in the network (cordless phone, microwave etc.) since they work on the same frequency.
    Try this and see if that helps.

  • Computer to computer copy slows down over internal airport network over time

    This is a strange problem but here goes...
    Some useful background info:
    I have recently successfully downloaded a 212MB file from a site on the internet through a new Apple Airport Express network I just created as a troubleshooting method in about 12 minutes or so and I don't seem to have any slowing down issues with internet connections to websites and downloads.
    The issue I seeing with internal network copies:
    When I try to copy files from an Apple PowerBook G4 running Leopard 10.5.2 to an iMac G5 running the same version of the OS, copies over the internal network exhibit a very odd behavior. The copy is from the Power Book G4's Public folder to any folder on the iMac.
    The copy starts in The Finder just fine and seems to be going very fast as expected by an internal network copy but after some short arbitrary amount of time, the copy slows down, the estimated times grows slowly but consistently for the copy to complete and eventually the OS says there was a problem and the copy fails. There's no error number of message other than the copy couldn't be completed. As I mentioned above, the time to complete the transfer id initially estimated as a very short amount of time but eventually, the copy action hits a brick wall where it slows down further and further until it fails.
    Other notes: the copy I've been attempting consists of files and folders that are of various sizes but I've tried it with small and large copies and this has worked fine in the past with Leopard and other, older OS' over the WRT54G's wireless network. I created the Airport Express network to see if that would solve this problem but it hasn't which makes me think the issue is with the router and not the wireless network.
    Additional details:
    Sometimes, the reported copy slowdown occurs at 5MB into the copy, other times it doesn't happen until it gets about 50MB into the copy. What's strange to me is, large file downloads over the Internet are just fine. There does appear to be some burst that degrades a bit over time but not like the internal network copy's speed which just drops off really quickly.
    I have been successful in the past copying from Mac to Mac over this exact same router using the WTR54G's wireless network but I started having problems fairly recently and now the copy doesn't finish over the WRT54G or the Airport Express network that I recently created to see if the issue was with the WRT54G's wireless network settings or hardware.
    There's plenty of free space on the machine that I'm copying to but this happens repeatedly when I try to copy from one computer running Leopard to another.
    I don't think this issue is related to the Airport Express because I recently created a new network to test this issue called Bedroom Airport Express. Previously, when I'd been successful performing these types of transfers, I was using the LinkSys WRT54G's built in wireless capabilities and had no issues using Go To and entering the computer's IP address.
    The router is still the WRT54G on ATT's DSL network using DHCP and there's no special config., other than that I had to re-IP the internal network to 192.168.199.1 for work related reasons but that's about it.
    The MTU had to be increased to 1492 for the internet to work properly when I got my first WRT54G; an older version of this device that I replaced recently with a new one [although this copy worked with the new one as well prior to the issue I'm posting about coming up].
    The firmware version of the WTR54G router is v8.00.2 and the Airport Express has been recently updated to the latest firmware available (this issue was occurring over the WRT54G's wireless network before the firmware upgrade to the Airport Express).
    If anyone knows what if anything I can do to troubleshoot what the issue is, I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
    This networking stuff is a bit of a black art to those of us that are dilettantes in this arena and I certainly qualify as a dabbler in the art of network configuration.
    I've been using a LinkSys router for a long time with a Mac/PC internal network that connects to the internet and computers inside the internal network for many years now and have had few issues.
    Thanks in advance,
    Darin

    I'm new to the Apple discussions, although not new to Apple computers and I've seen that this post has received quite a few views but no responses. Maybe someone could direct me to the right place to post this, if this is not that place, or, suggest some terminal tools that I could use to troubleshoot the issue with the Airport network or LinkSys Router I'm using [WTR54G v.8.0.0.x]? Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide to a networking noobie.

  • Painfully slow wireless connection with Time Capsule

    I have recently bought and changed over my home wireless to a Time Capsule 2TB, which I wanted for both the backup and the ease in home networking. I have set up the wireless network and since day one it has been painfully slow! I have created two wireless networks, one for 2.4GHz and the other for 5GHz. I have been reading all over the web and boards but to no avail.  Any suggestions? I am about to give up on the time capsule completely! I couldn't even download my podcast tonight.
    Help!

    Firstly plug in directly by ethernet to be sure there isn't a network issue on wan side.
    Are you testing on multiple computers .. Mac and/or PC?? Which ones. and what network cards are being used?
    Try and remove anything that uses G wireless and throw away any B wireless. It will not work together with N even if it is an option.
    Turn off the guest network if you have it on.
    Have you used a wireless analyser like kismac or inssider for pc? Find the free channels and set the wireless to that. Use no security at first to test.. briefly.. and then select wpa2 personal. Is there any difference?
    Do you have another wireless router running?? Were you using a different wireless router for comparison?

  • E3200 - Dropping wireless connection on the Mac

    Pros: Gig Eth switch, no front-facing indicator lights, familiar web interface...
    Cons: WiFi Protected Setup doesn't belong. Continually drops wireless connections to my Mac Book Pro (but none of my other devices), which worked just fine on the E3000 this unit replaced and works perfectly on other WiFi networks. REALLY SLOW web interface - average time to move from one page to the next is something north of 9 seconds. Again, never a problem with the E3000 that this unit replaced. Price? I wouldn't complain about price if this thing actually worked as expected.
    Other Thoughts: I'm hoping it's just a flaky/defective unit and not indicative of the overall quality of newer Linksys products. Firmware isn't the issue - it's running the latest one from Linksys' site.

    First of all please verify that you have got a 802.11n card in your computer. New generation routers (i.e. E3200) speaks an entirely different language with 802.11g cards, so while those adapters can work with the E3200, but they are not optimized to provide good performance. It is like having to translate from one language to another in real time when going from N to G.
    Well, there are few things you should keep in mind with regards to N routers:
    1) For the best possible speeds, you need to be using WPA2-AES as your security mode. Any other security mode will see your speed/range capped.
    Any G devices in your wireless network will tend to hamper the performance of your overall network.
    Ensure that your router is running the latest firmware from homesupport.cisco.com The new firmware includes performance enhancements and fixes.
    The router by default uses a channel setting of auto, which means that it would keep switching channels depending on the interference. I’d recommend you set it to a fixed channel. Usually, 1, 3, 6 and 9 give you the best performance depending on your environment of course. I’d suggest you try different channels, observing each for a while, to see which gives you the best performance. You can follow the link here on how to change channels.

  • Simple Line Chart - Values over time

    A simple line chart displaying a set of values over time would seem to be a very easy report to design. I'll be darned if I can see how to design it. Can anyone shed some light?
    I have provided links to a report and a spreadsheet which is the report datasource. My actual report will use SQL Server as its datasource. I am providing ths excel based example for the sake of protability.You will need to set the datasource location after saving the files to your hard drive.
    I can get the lines to draw properly, what I cannot figure out is how to specify the datetime values for the x axis. The column I would like to use on the x-axis is called DerivedLoggingTime.
    I'd also like to get control of the logarithmic algorithm used to formulate the y-axis values. I am not always happy with the values that the log algorithm comes up with.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    [Link to report|http://www.usol.com/~joe/linechart.rpt]
    [Link to spreadsheet|http://www.usol.com/~joe/AnalysisResults.xls]
    Another discovery while working on this report - our database will be SQL 2008 and  we are making use of the datetime2 datatype. CR appears to be treating this datatype as text. So when working with the SQL based datasource, I had to cast datetime2 columns as datetime in order for CR to see the columns as datetime instead of text. This is fine in this instance because the granularity of the datetime values for this particular report does not require datetime2, but that will not always be the case. CR will need to recognize the new datatype.
    Edited by: Joe Sytniak on Jul 17, 2008 5:37 PM

    Hi Joe,
    The Date Axis Line Chart of the Numeric Axis Type Chart, can be used to display data on a regular interval of days, Months and Years. The information displayed can unfortunately not be more granular that days.
    This type of chart is generally used when the data is recorded on irregular intervals in the database, and to make sense of the information stored it needs to be displayed at regular intervals.
    Since the data stored in your data source seems to be stored every 4 minutes, it will not be necessary to use this type of chart. I will suggest to use the regular line chart instead.
    To create a line chart using your date time field and value:
    1. Select "Chart" under the menu "Insert"
    2. Insert the chart on your report in the desired section.
        ( Group Header # 3 in your case. )
    3. In the "Chart Expert" window, under the tab "Type",
        change the chart type to a line chart by selecting "Line" in
        the "Chart Type" list.
    4. Under the tab "Data", add the database field that contains the Date Time information under the "On change of" list.
    (In your case, add the "DerivedLoggingTime" database field)
    5. To display the data for each minute, select the database fields you just added under the "On Change of" list, and
    click on the button "Order". In the "Chart Sort Order" window,
    select "For each minutes" in the "Section will be printed" drop down list, then click "OK"
    6. Add the field you want to display the value in the "Show Value List", then click "OK"
    Now it will display a line chart as desired, but since there is a lots of data point on your chart, the x axis date time labels will overlap each other. To avoid  this situation, I will suggest to skip labels.
    To format a chart to skip labels:
    1. In the "Preview" tab of the report, select one of the x axis label, and right click on it. In the contextual menu, select "Group (X) Axis Options..."
    2. In the "Group (X) Axis Settings" window, under the tab "Layout", check the option "Skip Group Labels" and set the value to 15 for example.
    Now, it will display the date time label at every 15 data point.
    As for your question on how get control of the logarithmic algorithm used to formulate the y-axis values, we unfortunately do not have much control over it other than:
    - Entering static values, or
    - Checking or Unchecking the option "Use Logarithmic scales"
    The above options are available on the y axis. To change those options:
    1. In the "Preview" tab of the report, select one of the y axis label, and right click on it. In the contextual menu, select "Group (Y) Axis Options..."
    2. In the "Group (Y) Axis Settings" window, under the tab "Scales", you will see the following options:
    - Minimum Values
    - Maximum Values
    - Use Logarithmic scales
    I will suggest to check the option "Use Logarithmic scales"
    Finally, as for the issue you discovered where SQL Server 2008 data type DateTime2 is converted to a string in Crystal Reports 2008, it is important to note that SQL Server 2008 hasn't been released yet, therefore it has not been tested in Crystal Reports 2008. Once SQL Server 2008 is released, I will suggest to test it again using the ODBC driver provided with this new version. 
    At this point I am assuming that this is happening because it is a new data type and an unknown data type get converted to string.

  • Fix for Wireless Capability Turned Off

    If you have lost your wireless connection (Wi-Fi) and pressing the wireles button on your laptop doesn't fix it, do this:
    Download and install HP Connection Manager.
    After 8 hours of screwing with this I am so happy to report my Wi-Fi has been turned back on.  The antenna button did not work.  It only turned the Bluetooth on and off.  My wireless connection had a red X on it and the troubleshooter told me straight up that my "Wireless capability is turned off", but gave me no way to turn it back on.  In Windows Mobility Center the Wireless Network clearly showed it was off, but the button to turn it on was greyed out.  I updated the BIOS and wireles drivers, but that did nothing.  Then I downloaded and installed HP Connection Manager and rebooted.  I opened up HP CM and there was a button that showed the wireless was off.  I pushed it and the wireless turned on.  That easy.  Or rather, after hours and hours of pain, it turned on.  My next step would have been to go through the BIOS to see if somehow from there the Wi-Fi had been disabled, but I did not need to go that far.
    Good luck people.  Hopefully this thread will save you some time.

    Hi there @MUKESHCP,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that your wireless connection is no longer working for you for a day or so. I am happy to help with this.
    Just to be clear, the WLAN connection was working prior to you installing the Bluetooth driver, or am I misunderstanding? If it was working  just prior to your Bluetooth install, then it would be worth your while, to try a system restore to a point just before you installed that driver, and see if the WLAN is working again.
    Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
    If that does not help then I would recommend downloading the driver for your WLAN adapter from the support page for your notebook: HP Pavilion dv3536tx Entertainment Notebook PC - Software & Drivers
    There are two drivers available for Windows 7, and if you are not sure which adapter you have, you can check within Device Manager, although it is likely it is showing as an unknown device. In that case, try each drive, one at a time and see if it helps. Also look through the following page, directly related to your problem as you described it:
    Resolving Universal WLAN, Wireless, and Wi-Fi Errors
    Between those, you should be able to resolve the Red X on the icon. If not, it is possible that the wlan adapter has become faulty. If that happens, you can either look at calling HP for a replacement part, or you can try a USB wireless adapter.
    Let me know if this helps at all.
