Hi,

The wireless drivers may be corrupt.

This method will hard reset the wireless drivers back to default settings, but before you perform this remove power from the modem and router for 2 minutes reconnect power and wait another 2 minutes for them to settle down.

Right click "computer" select "manage" and then "device manager", a list will populate, then click on the + sign next to "network adapters" and right click on the wireless adapter and "uninstall" the device, reboot the PC and wait for windows to detect the wireless card and install the drivers for it, this will appear in the system tray (bottom right hand side) when its done try to connect again. Also please remember to turn on the switch or use a keyboard toggle to turn on the wireless radio.


Get back to me if you need anymore help or advice.


Good luck.

    Hi,

    It's strange that the wireless controller is missing in device manager. Go back to device manager and click on computer, then scan for new hardware.

    If it picks up the hardware then it will install the drivers for it. If it doesn't then restart the computer and go into the BIOS and check to see if the WLAN is enabled.

    Usually to get into the BIOS repeatedly tap F2 as it starts up.



    Please let me know how you get on.




    Good luck

Won't stay connected to internet

that might take an uninstall and reinstall of either the ethernet drivers, or the operating system. I haven't heard that, but I have had machines that aren't as reliable in the wireless as they could be. it's possible that something in the workings of it has gone haywire, but it sounds like an OS issue.

Back up everything you want to keep and reinstall the OS if possible.

I need for my compaq presario v6000.

You can get the wireless drivers in the laptop itself. U need to type in the start search as recovery manager and when the window is opened, click on the advanced options and select the option hardware driver installation. Search for the sound driver and select it and it get re-installed. If this doesnt work try to go to hp.com and select support and drivers and enter the product number of the laptop and follow the onscreen instructions.
Thanks and Regards
Honey
