Wifi Not Working (SOLVED)
August 6th, 2016
Thanks In Advance!
I had the same problem.
Have you checked that your IPv4 setting is on automatic?
Yeah.. it is automatic..
Hmm ok. Do you have HP Wireless assist switched on?
yes i have.. the problem is that i get limited or no connectivity.. i can find and connect to my network but not to the internet..
Have you attempted to restart your laptop and reset the notwork router at the same time?
no.. let me try..
It has happened to me a few times, and a quick reset has fixed it.
but it actually doesnt happen once a time.. it happens all da time.. as a matter of fact i have never connected to the internet via wifi with my laptop since i got it..
This sort of problem is always caused buy a non compatible or no driver…
umm.. actually i have a driver and i think it is compatible..
Can you post a screenshot of your device manager?
, you are able to connect to the router, but you are not able to connect to the internet. Ok, can you connect to any other computer connected to the router? Also, have you messed around with the router’s settings.
umm.. no it works fine with other laptops and my iPhone.. the only problem is with this specific laptop… and i havent done anything in the router though..
^^^^These are the properties of my Wi-Fi Network Adapter^^^^
Please do this..
1. Click on the Windows orb 2. Press ‘R’ and then click on ‘Run’
3. Type cmd and press enter
4. On the blinking Cursor, type ipconfig/all and hit enter.
5. After that, please indicate the the IPv4 Address and Default Gateway
If you have no Default Gateway IP check if Vista was set to static IP address.
1. Click on the Windows orb 2. Click on Control Panel
3. Click on Network and Sharing Center
4. Click on Manage Network Connections.
5. Right-click on Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties.
6. Click on Continue button.
7. Highlight Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties
Make sure Obtain IP address automatically as well as for DNS is selected an OK all the way out.
Then do an ipconfig/all again through command prompt and see what you get.
Then see if you can get online..
ya.. there is no default gateway both the times but how to see if vista is set to static?? I still cant get online though..
edit : i have a default gateway when i m connected to the net by lan..
ok. Did you try to change it to a static IP or do you still need help in navigating there?
how to change it to a static ip??
Ok..
1. Click on the Windows orb/start
2. Click on Control Panel 3. Click on Network and Internet 4. Click on Network and Sharing Center 5. Left hand panel click on Manage network connections
6. Right-click on Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties 7. Click on Continue when asked 8. Highlight Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties 9. Make sure Obtain IP address automatically as well as DNS is selected and press OK all the way out.
Once you do that, restart your computer fully and see if you get anything.
i did that.. and actually i didnt have to change any IPv4 settings because they were all automatic.. Still am not online..
Ok then, rather odd, is your vista a legal version?
Try removing the network, restarting and then let it connect to it again.
1. Click on the Windows orb/start
2. Click on Control Panel
3. Click on Network and Internet
4. Click on Network and Sharing Center
5. Left hand panel click on Manage wireless networks
6. Right-click on your Wireless Network Connection and click on Remove network
Now restart your laptop and try re-connecting.
What type of router do you have?
I actually have the same issue. I got a Linsys router.. and I got 2 laptops that uses wireless. one of them is working fine. and one laptop is having the same issue . it isnt connecting to the internet. I’ve tried everything possible
my vista is totally legal.. please help me in solving this.. because i think u know how hard it is widout wi-fi…
Yes, I do.
Do you know what type of router you have? brand and model number?
: Have you attempted the steps i gave to, ?
Brand : MTNL (indian..)
Ok. Do you know how to access your router settings?
Could you find this information under wireless?
a. network mode
b. SSID or network name
c. wireless channel
d. SSID broadcast (enabled or disabled)
a. Did u mean authentication type?? it is “WPA2-PSK”
b. Mavilla 511
c. Channel ID : Channel06 2437MHz
d. enabled
But wat i’ll say is the problem is with only this laptop.. so indeed the router is fine but the problem is in the laptop..
my question is, are others devices (laptops, iphone, etc..) configured with static or automatic tcp/ip configuration
cuz this problem “Limited or No Connectivity” happens when you cannot pick an IP address from your DHCP server, or if its configured to obtain an ip from DHCP and that network doesnt have any DHCP server.
so the OS uses APIPA – Automatic Private IP Addressing
APIPA is a DHCP failover mechanism. With APIPA, DHCP clients can obtain IP addresses when DHCP servers are nonfunctional. from this range 169.254.0.1 – 169.254.255.254
If the router is configured to as DHCP Server then try to your laptop to release your ip with this command
ipconfig /release
and then to renew with this
ipconfig /renew
then see what is the configuration
ipconfig /all
if you have the correct ip address not from APIPA Range that does it mean that the wireless routers is good configured with dhcp server
the only thing is to check your security configuration in router : WEP ( Wireless Encryption protocol ) or Preshared Key or any macaddress filtering…
try to ping the wireless router does it succeed
^^^^^^^^When i try to use^^^
ipconfig/release
in cmd
are you sure that you typed in your wiress encryption key correctly?
Also make sure user name and password are set correctly in your router, ie the one to connect to your isp
Last of all try changing the channels as some work better with different wireless devices.
umm.. no i think the problem is with the laptop getting the ip.. Like said..
a. Did u mean authentication type?? it is "WPA2-PSK"
b. Mavilla 511
c. Channel ID : Channel06 2437MHz
d. enabled
Alright. Sounds all good. Have you tried to change the Wireless Channel and resetting the router to try? sometimes depending on the area the wireless signals wont pickup correctly for the internet signals.
Can i ask where you have your router and how far away form it you are when trying to connect to it? are you far away from it or right near it? is it out in the open and not hidden away or have anything over it?
Also i’d like to know the strength of the connection the laptop is getting to the router.
1. Click on the Windows orb/start
2. Click on Control Panel
3. Click on Network and Internet
4. Click on Network and Sharing Center 5. Click on ‘view status’ next to your Wireless Network Connection and tell me how many green bars are next to ‘Signal Quality’
Sorry for the delay.
Cheers.
friend ask your ISP,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
^^^^^^^^When i try to use^^^
ipconfig/release
in cmd
try to run the command prompt (CMD) with administrators priviliges if you aren’t logged as a user that has the administrators priviliges
if u cannot get an IP Address from DHCP configure it with static ip just see the range of ip addresses of your network to configure correctly
and then try to ping the routers ip address
how are configured iphone and other devices in your home network
phanolee, this is wat i get wen i renew..:
the IP is : 169.254.144.76<Preferred>
Wat is ping my router??
The other devices work just fine. They didnt need to be configured.. all i had to do wid ’em was to find and connect to my network and then the net would work.
But this one has never been connected to the net with wifi. Plz help me!
Check your services list (start,run,type services.msc (enter)) And make sure that DHCP client is running, And DNS client. These are usually the culprits. Set them both to automatic and make sure they say “started”
THANKS FOR THE HELP EVERYONE! I HAVE FIXED THIS PROBLEM BY PUTTING DA IP MANUALLY..
its k,,,,,,,dude,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
