Re: Dell Lattitude C840 laptop wireless card insertion tutorial

Will the card used in this example connect to the internet on a wifi basis, or does it require a router, which in turn connects to the internet? This tutorial is expertly written. Cordially, MCBouman

In reply to Ailonas. @ Ailonas,

My TOSHIBA hard drive crashes,I call TOSHIBA for support,they tell me to send in for repair it will take 10 working day or more or Pay $24.95 for a restore Disc.

It's hard to tell what's going on without looking at the laptop. In cases like that, I usually boot laptop from Ubuntu CD (live linux CD) and test wireless in there. If wireless works in Ubuntu OS but not Windows, this is Windows OS related problem (corrupted software, wrong settings, etc...) If wireless doesn't with with bout Ubuntu OS and Windows, most likely this is hardware related issue. It's a good test when your wireless is supported by Ubuntu OS.

@ Ailonas,
Take a closer look at the sides and front of your laptop. There could be a physical Wi-Fi switch you have to turn on.

Hello. I have problem with wireless connection of Toshiba Satellite L450D laptop. Everything is ok, all drivers installed, internet works perfectly on the cable but not when you are trying to connect by wireless. It just shows “wireless is off – turn on wireless” what you could do by keys FN+F8 but it is not working at all. Like I said I installed drivers, tried to update by Windows Update (Windows 7 x64), updated bios and everything what I found on toshiba website. Could You help me by any ideas about that? Thank You.

I was able to get an answer on upgrading the wifi chip in the Series 3. Samsung product support said that upgrading to Intel Centrino Ultra N 6300 would work. However if you need to send the laptop in for service, you would want to send it in with the original chip. You would probably want to call Samsung product support for other chips…but to give some insight (because I wasn’t sure)….the physical specs half-mini pci-e with bluetooth. the 2×2 and 3×3 specs do not affect the antenna installed. These specs are your communication band and speed (for instance 2×2 refers to 2.4g and 5g at 150m and 300m speeds. 3×3 would be 2.4, 5g (i don’t know what the other spec is) at 150m, 300m, 450m. Anyway that’s how it was explained to me.

I recently refurbished a Toshiba 1135-S155 and all is well BUT, the only way to connect is with the ethernet cable. I installed a Linksys Wireless G adapter, drivers and all through a USB port. It found my network, but could not obtain the IP address, no matter what I did. I uninstalled the USB and installed a Linksys Wireless B card in the slot, with drivers, and the same thing happened. It found the network, but would not get the IP address. I then installed an old Railink mini pci card, with driver and the same thing happened. That’s a total of 3 different paths, with the same results. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Oh yea, I’m using Windows XP Pro and it’s got all the security updates. HELP!!!
