Gateway NV54 Laptop / Two Same-model Laptops / One Takes Forever To Connect
Feb 7, 2011
Problem: I bought my wife and I each a Gateway NV54 laptop this past year. While both of our laptops can acquire a network connection, she is able to browse the internet almost immediately, while my computer takes 30 seconds to a minute longer to connect to the same network, and then can take up to 3 minutes before any web browser recognizes the connection. This happens on every connection I make (school, work, home, etc.)Steps I have taken:
-Updated the driver for my wireless adaptor (Atheros AR5B93 Wireless Network Adapter), and nothing changed.
-Windows 7 service pack (6.1)
-Downloaded AVG, Spybot, Advanced System Care, and IObit Security and run scans in all 4 at least 3 times a week.
-Cleaned up hard drive files so that each of my two hard drives is less than 70% full.
-Removed superfluous internet connections and prioritized the important connections I use regularly.

I have a Dell E4300 with a 1510 wireless mini adapter running windows 7 pro with a netgear WNR3500 router running wireless N protocol. I have my laptop setup to sleep when lid is closed. When it awakens the wireless connection will not automatically reconnect and I have to manually select the SSID and connect. It will also reconnect if I use the network troubleshooter. The problem does not happen if I reboot the PC or start from a power off situation. I have the latest Dell driver and I am running the DWLAN utility.

I have an Inspiron E1705 and my wireless card/adapter takes about 3 minutes to load each log in. I called Dell, and they couldn't find out what was wrong. We tried things from internet settings, to shutting off all the start ups in MS Config. I've had this problem for a very long time. Windows will start up, and it seems like there is a 3 minute wait period of my computer doing nothing, and then finally, the wireless loads in my System Tray.

I just replaced my 2Wire with PACE DSL Gateway Model 4111N. I am using the 2Wire filter in the phone jack to split the DSL and phone signals. Is there a different filter that will increase my signal strength?

Okay, so our old computer took a dump & our friend rebuilt us a new one and he threw in a new router to go with it. Its a D-Link router, which is directly connected to our desktop. However, upon completion of a new desk installment, we put the router into the cabinet and my gateway laptop immediately stopped being able to connect to the internet or the router at all.
1) The router is connected to the internet and broadcasting.
2) I've reset and refreshed the router and my window of available networks on my laptop, which did not work.
3) I've pulled it out of the cabinet, which also had no affect.
4) I did a manual search for the router, and it says the network already exists and asks if i would like to connect and upon agreeing to this, it returns me to the page of available networks, which does not include my router.

I'm unable to connect to the internet from my laptop. When I do a diagnostic test it tells me that the default gateway is not available. I've tried resetting it, resetting my IP address via command prompt, restarting the router, etc.

I have an Asus Model U56E. Recently the wireless has been disappearing whenever I turn off my laptop. What I mean is that when I turn on my laptop, the wireless doesnt seem to exist. I go under device manager and all I have is the eternet and my bluetooth device. About 85% of the time, when I go under "action" and click on "scan for hardware changes" the my Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N1030 will show up along with the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adaptor and I'll get my wireless back. However, when my laptop turns off, the same thing happens.
In addition, my fn F2 button no longer seems to work. I'll press on it and majority of the time my light that signals that the wireless is working does not turn on. Most of the time it stays off whether or not I am connected to the wireless
This is what I already attempted to fix it, based on googling for answers:
1. Under the properties of my wireless and miniport adapter, I went under power management and unchecked the box that says "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
2. I went to my laptop's power plan and changed all my wireless adapter settings "power saving mode" to maximum performance for both battery and cord
3. I went to the intel website, had it look at my laptop wireless system and followed their recommendation of installing an updated wireless software thing. All that happened was that it told me to disable my old wireless and then install it. However, even though I followed their instructions, it continued to repeat the same message. I had to perform a system restore to get my old wireless back
4. I disabled wireless console 3 (by Asus) under programs and it seemed to work. My laptop was getting connected whenever I turned it on. However, the next day my laptop updated itself (b/c of my system restore) and I am back to the same situation except my wireless console is still disabled.

Earlier my desktop was to b in d same place where the router was der. Everything worked fine. Now I decided to shift my desktop to another room. I have kept the router at the earlier place only. I have brought a 25m long new cat 5 cable. When I connected it to my desktop, the orange led on ethernet port do not light up and the desktop is unable to detect the ethernet cable and hence the internet connection. On the router, a light of ethernet keeps on blinking every 1 second. I was worried whether my ethernet port got fried. So i inserted another ethernet cable, but then the ethernet orange light came and the pc detedted the connection. Therefore I thought the cable might be faulty. Therefore I connected my laptop with that 25m cable. But my laptop detected it and showed the internet connection. But now when i again connect the cable to my desktop, there's no light and the pc does not detect it. However, if i connect the 25m cable to my desktop then during boot the ethernet light on router is stable just as when it is normally connected to the internet. But when i go into windows it starts blinking every 1 second.
My router is MTNL Model No. UT-304R2
Desktop - Asus P7H55, core i5
Laptop- HP 2000
Windows 7 Ultimate on both desktop and laptop.

I have a Dell Inspiron N5110, service tag
<ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed as per privacy policy>
This never used to happen but has been occurring for about 5-6 months without an end in sight. The problem is that it takes ages to connect to a network and that networks are not joined automatically. Basically, whenever I open my laptop from sleep, I will see the little blue rotating symbol in the bottom right hand of the screen and it stays there for 2-3 minutes (usually) before it connects. Windows usually pops up an icon which says 'it is taking longer than usual to connect to the network' and it seems to often successfully connect when the connection attempt times out.
Steps I have taken to fix the issue:
- Update the network driver (it is up to date).- Never allow the system to turn off the wireless network adapter (via device manager).- Check that the network has 'join automatically' ticked in the settings.

I have a WRK54G v2 connected to a Ubee cable modem, and when my computer, connected with wifi or ethernet, tries to play a Youtube video, the actual webpage loads fine but the spinning dots in the player remain for several minutes before the video starts to load. If the video has to buffer again in the middle of playback, it also takes several minutes to start again. When the computer is connected directly to the cable modem, everything works fine. Youtube is the only site I am having an issue with, other video streaming sites like Vimeo work fine.

When I boot my system lately I have to fiddle with task manager to get things stable enough to connect to my network. This is getting very tiresome. I always find OdHost.exe taking almost all the CPU and have to kill it to get things running. This can't be normal and has not been until recently. I don't know of anything that has been installed in the last several months that is network related.

New hardware here, requesting a bit of your knowledge, We are tryingin to setup a simple gateway to gateway VPN
HomeA Has an RV016 with a public static IP
Local Group Security Gateway type is IP Only with the IP
Local Security Group Type is Subnet, with the local IP class 192.160.0.0
Remote Security Gateway Type: Dynamic + Email
Email address some@emailaddress.com
Remote Security Group Type: Subnet
IP Address 192.168.1.0
IPSec Setup as default with nice password.
HomeB has an RV082 with a dynamic ADSL link
Local Group Security Gateway type is DynamicIP +Email
Email address some@emailaddress.com
Local Security Group Type is Subnet, with the local IP class 192.160.1.0
Remote Security Gateway Type: IP Only
Remote Security Group Type: Subnet
IP Address 192.168.0.0
IPSec Setup as default with nice password.
The idea is for HomeB which has a dynamic IP, to reach HomeA, which has a static IP and connect. But they just wont. I have not clue what's wrong, I followed the instructions, maybe i miss interpreted something. I could share the VPN logs for both., Im getting a lot of errors there.

Out of all the computers in my house there is one computer that does not seem to be able to get an internet connection. Usally I would fire up the computer, then unplug and put back in the wireless device and it would start working but just recently no matter what I try it will not work. When I set the computer up to connect with a static ip, i get a local connection only (or at least thats what networking centre says) and when i rely on dhcp i get 'identifying network' forever. No network settings have been changed and I have tried an ethernet connection as well which also didn't work. I have tested the wireless device on another computer and it works fine.

I am unable to log in to my wireless network with my TV. It worked with my old router but the EA4500 recognizes the network but will not accept the password. Even if I open up my guest network which is not secured by a password it will not connect to my home network. I've chatted with Cisco and Visio on this problem and Visio says it's an encryption problem with the router. Cisco wants me to have someone call me who charges for tech repairs.

I read somewhere this is to show that the connection is unstable? My modem works fine, and it works fine being plugged directly into my PC.
But going through the modem, I am noticing some drops in speed and spikes of high latency. This icon - the little earth/internet icon - has never flashed for a long period of time before. I've power cycled it (unplugged for over 5 mins) and it persists.
Does it need a firmware upgrade? Is it something I did? Faulty hardware?

I have a Dell Latitude D620 and my wireless isn't working. It worked before but then I had a malware/spyware on my computer that blocked my wifi and when I managed to get the program off, my wifi still wouldn't connect. It's not the wireless card because I bought an external one and it did the same thing. It's not my router because my other computer connects to the internet.

I have a Linksys WRT120N and two XP laptops.I can connect them to my network when MAC filtering is disabled but as soon as I re-enable it, the network kicks them off.I've had the network set to broadcast enable and disabled and it doesn't matter. There is NO WPA2 etc security or password on the network.I've checked, double-checked and quadruple-checked the MAC addresses of both laptops (using "ipconfig /all") and they're both right. I entered them correctly and I've quadruple-checked that I've checked "PERMIT" instead of "PREVENT". The funny thing is that I also have a Samsung Galaxy SII and that connected right to the router even WITH MAC address filtering on. It was unbothered the entire time I was enabling and disabling things. It kept streaming web radio the entire time.
One of my laptops is set to use Windows to configure my wireless networks and one uses Intel ProSet/Wireless to manage connections.Neither one can connect when MAC filtering is on... but my phone connects just fine.where someone asks this question ends up in people arguing about why MAC filtering is worthless or perfectly valid or whatever and the anti-MAC filtering person telling the asker to get some "real" security and stop wasting their time.

Recently my modem/router broke and we had it replaced by our provider. Since it has been replaced we have been having problems with our connection.We have 1 desktop and 2 laptops the desktop is connected to the modem. When we have both laptops running we can browse online okay but if one of the laptops starts downloading something or even loading a video or big web page the other laptops connection will not work it. It says its still connected and finds no problems but no pages will load. I also have problems when I download anything. If I begin downloading then on the same laptop I can not even browse the web while I'm Downloading.

Recently, my desktop will not connect to the internet but all the other laptops in the house can connect to the internet wirelessly. The desktop is hard wired to the dlink router and worked fine up until about last week. How to check if its a virus, bad networking card or maybe something else?
