My Toshiba satellite laptop constantly cant find networks even though it is within the 50 ft. Radius

try holding power button in for about 50 seconds. Then try pressing power button again. Could be locked up. make sure no other display screen is plugged into laptop. make sure nothing plugged into USB port at boot up.

80 - 100 ft without walls..try changing the place of the router...

discount laptop battery,here you may get your answer.

check your network provider and the set up of your modem router.

Check your gateway and DNS settings.

Not enough info per problem description. Not all 1900 series laptops have wireless cards installed, and not all 1900 series laptops are ready to handle wireless cards, either. Need to know what model your computer is, what wireless card you're using, ... C'mon. Let's have it...

you may need to enable that wireless through control panel

Yes.Get rid of it.I have a Satellite also and do agree configuration was dodgy at first but the range in Wi-fi was not even 50 ft. as opposed the 100 ft. promised.But finally,after it shorted out my dial tone like most other 6520's I just went back to my trusty speedstream 4100.Good-luck.

Hi timlondonuk,

I don't know if you've ever replaced the motherboard in a laptop, but it can be a serious chore - even damaging to the LCD connector and other devices if you're not careful. Oftentimes the cost of a replacement board is 50-75% of the cost of a new laptop, so you might consider that venue.

If you provide a model number we can help you find prices for the board.

Right click on the network icon in your task bar or in network connections in control panel and click view wireless networks, then when all the networks show, delete them all and close the window, next, a pop up will say found wireless connections click the pop up icon again and look for your connection in the list and click connect and enter the pass phrase Iif you have security enabled.
