Hmm the log looks OK, now I had something similar happen to me about a month ago. Where the wireless signal dropped and failed to recover unless I rebooted the router. It turned out the wireless card within the router was broken so I had it replaced .
As the Ethernet works I would tend to suspect something similar for you… Unless other computers using the router are not experiencing that problem
What is the wireless card on the computer as I will see if this is a known problem
It only seems to have a problem with this laptop. For instance, if this laptop is switched off/or the wireless is off, my brother’s laptop would connect to the wireless perfectly fine. As soon as I turn the wireless on, on this laptop, the wireless would go down for my brother’s laptop…hence…the wireless would not connect to neither laptops, ps3, iphone etc. I would then have to turn this laptop off…i would jus switch the modem on and off, and within a couple of minutes, my brother’s laptop would connect to the wireless again.
How do I find out what the wireless card on this laptop is??
I’ve had this problem for about 2months i would say
OK from that it seems as though your wireless is overloading/swamping the connection
Go to control panel > device manager
Open the network adapters
Right click the wireless adapter
Select properties
Select driver
Could you screenshot that please
Which adapter do i select??
i attached all 3 screenshots
OK I have just found the driver… And guess what was on the change log
Changes From Previous VersionFixed: The Wireless LAN card stops working and can not be detected by the system.
Download and install the driver from here http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/downloadDetail.jsp?soid=2687256&pf=true
Let me know if it cures the problem
I installed the driver…restarted the laptop…and it had no affect…i don’t think there was any change according to the version verification ( see attachment)
In that case I feel we are looking at a hardware problem with the WiFi card I will have a look around
correct me if i’m going mad, but the driver version 2007.1.1002.2009 from the website link you gave me (from the version verification section) is obviously not the same as the driver version that i have at the moment 2020.7.907.2011
BUT to me it looks like the numbers have just been re-arranged…could this be a fault…or is the driver version currently installed legit…so to speak
or am i just going crazy?!!
OK go to device manager
Go to control panel > device manager
Open the network adapters
Right click the wireless adapter
Select properties
Select driver
Select Update driver
allow it to update if one is found
ok, so i went to the driver to update, and came across the first scenario…see the 1st attachment…i’ve never seen it there before
i tried to update…and windows said it was up to date…see the 2nd attachment
OK right click the one with the yellow exclamation mark
Select Uninstall
Once done reboot the computer and windows should load the driver for it
Let me know if that works
ye windows has loaded and installed the same driver
what do i do now?
Still with the yellow exclamation on it
nope…it’s got no exlamation mark
Under properties is the driver active
yup, it says the device is working properly
I believe you have a wireless card problem as opposed to malware
