I'm trying to get the wireless internet card working on an averatec notebook. It is a really nice computer with good specs. The only problem is the internet isn't working. I really don't want to have to send it back so any ideas I'll take.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well the problem is the wireless card only randomly works.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Things I've checked:

 

 

 

Wireless card is on

 

 

 

Wireless card is enabled

 

 

 

Firewall is off and messed around with

 

 

 

Re-installed internet

 

 

 

Re-formated computer

 

 

 

Looked for driver upgrades

 

 

 

Made sure the computer is in range

 

 

 

Made sure other computers were working on the wireless router

 

 

 

Checked all settings in the wireless card software

 

 

 

Tried 3 different kinds of wireless software including what came with it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It worked fine for the first 2 weeks but now it connects maybe an hour a week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Help, thanks

What model card is it?

 

 

 

If you are using XP, mine sometimes fits in and out every now and awile. Just right ckick on the icon and hit repair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Not sure why this was reported?

I didn't report it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've clicked repair a million times, doesn't work.

Go to:

 

 

 

Control Panel>Administartive Tools>Services

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scroll down to the botom and you should see "Wireless Zero Configuration"

 

 

 

If it is on turn it off, and if it is off then turn it on. This is assuming you have Windows XP btw. Now if the end result is that its on, than go to the properties for the conection, go to the wireless networks tab, and cheack the box that says "Use Windows to configure my wirless networks". This will alow XP to manage your card, assuming it can figure out how the card works. Windows can normally figure it out. My wirless network was horrible until i discovered this, it would lag me out of runescape every 5 minutes untill I found Wirless Zero Configuration, hope this healps.

The thread was probably reported because you have provided no useful information. Type and Model router and wireless card for example.

...is worthless information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are literally thousands of routers and wireless cards out there. Each has it's own set of drivers, controls and settings. We can't help fix something when you just give us information that includes every piece of wireless hardware on the planet.
