I might need more information from you like phone make/model, os, etc. but the best place to start is to turn off wifi locator, turn on airplane mode, turn phone off, turn back on, turn airplane mode off, turn wifi locator back on and search for wifi signal
Samsung Galaxy S4: WiFi not scanning for networks:
Hello:
Try these troubleshooting tips:
1. If this is happening at home, it could be your network setup is having issues, turn off your router/modem, wait 2 minutes, and then turn the router back on.. wait for the router to connect and then try again..
OR
2. Go to:
Settings > WiFi > (remove your network & then re-add it, don't forget you need your WiFi password in order to log back in)
OR
3. Go to:
Settings > Connections (Network Connections) > More Networks > turn on Airplane Mode > wait a few seconds and then turn off Airplane Mode
OR
4. Go to:
Settings > My Device > Turn Power Saving Mode Off
First try to turn off the device completely. If the battery can be removed, take it out and wait 30 seconds.
Put the phone back together and turn it on.
Once it is on and ready to use, turn off your wifi and wait a few seconds. Turn the wifi back on. Make sure you are in a location that you are absolutely sure wifi is available. Generally wifi reception is good for about 150 feet on many devices, but may be shorter.
If the problem continues, it may be hardware related, in which fixya may not be able to assist you with. You may need to contact your cell phone provider for further assistance.
Wifi always drains battery life to some extent or another.. Best solution is to turn off wifi when not in use or needed, and or keep your device plugged in during extensive use.. try to figure out your battery life while using wifi, and also kill/turn off any unnecessary background apps like gps, etc.. you can also extend your battery life by keeping your back light and lock screens to turn down and set to automatically turn off after a min or so of non use.. hope this helps..
Open your wifi on the phone and press and hold the wifi network that you want to connect to then click (modify) re-enter the security code for the wifi network again and then connect. If that does not work then the wifi signal is weak and you'll need to get closer to your router.
Another thing is to choose United States for your Wifi Region in the wifi advanced settings menu.
-- uncheck (avoid poor connections)
-- check scanning always available
-- Wifi Region Code (select United States)
Always a good idea to shut down and then turn back on (hold down both home button and power button until it turns all the way off. Wait a couple seconds, then press the power button to turn back on)
Try wireless again.
If nothing, then
Obviously check and make sure wifi is on under settings.
If still nothing,
Try resetting your network connections: Settings > General, then tap Reset > Reset Network Settings
If you can't see any wifi networks at all, you might have a bad wifi card in the iPad. Bring back to an apple store.
If the wifi in the router itself is turned off you need to logon to it via the interface (website number ie http://191.168.XXX.XXX Once logged in look for the section where the wifi is and you'll find where you can turn it on again.
If it's not the router but your machine--- laptops often have a switch on the side that can sometimes get accidentally turned off. And under NETWORK CONNECTIONS you can ENABLE or disabled the wifi network by right clicking and selecting ENABLE.
So I understand that your wifi card doesn't work?If that is correct go to Toshiba site and check their support-from the other computer-of course.If card is dead, you will need usb wifi.
