WLAN AND WIFI

step one (guessing #4 down fails)

1. are you at home, Starbucks ,air port or at work, (who's wifi)
2. do other wifi devices work there., PC, TV, cell phones on wifi or ?
3. if yes,#2, then move the laptop closer t the wifi router.
4. If no and device manager shows 701 errors "? that means the drivers are wrong even infected not using HP.com drivers for your unstated OS. windows 7?
5. on my HP laptops, it takes 2 drivers from them to work wifi,
6. the wifi card driver must match (of up to 3 or more used new)
7. and must have the control panel BUTTON driver working to control wifi.
8. did you up grade it W10 and now wifi is dead , ? oops!

dv6-2155dx , seems was window 7 new, and frozen there,.
HP has no support now for this old PC. (besides asking on THEIR FORUM)

HP has short list of wifi cards they used, and only those work
HP blacklists all other non HP cards (unlike wonderful DELL)
so wrong cards are doomed to fail., as is w10
the correct card (1) is here
Intel 5100 512an_hmw Half Mini Pci-e WLAN WiFi Wireless Card 572507-001 for HP Laptop. for windows 7 only.
802.11b/g/n WLAN

see button driver here at HP.com best is only get them from HP

in that post note 2 the cards used. new. all 3 HP certified.

HP BLACK LISTS ALL NON HP WIFI CARDS(MODULES)
HP SOLD IT WITH 3 OR MORE WIFI CARDS HP FROM THEM ONLY
so wifi works at home (are you home) and wifi works on TV
other PC and cell phones, with wifi set to data?
if wifi is good then we focus on the relic nc6400 (2007 made)
the home network must have working set DNS selection too.
the 3 listed are
Choice of Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN, Broadcom 802.11a/b/g WLAN, Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG 802.11 a/b/g WLAN
only those work
and only with HP drivers now gone. hp ended suport
googling them gets me endless virus infected driver, as a nice door prize(sarc off)
next time buy DELL and we can find 1000 of wifi card that work .
or cure #2
is remove the old wifi card from its slot.
then get USB wifi dongle. for w7 make sure it has support for old S7
they do work

Hi, the WIFI is accessible only through WLAN feature of the phone it is mean for accessing WIFI. Without it, it's not possible to access the WIFI for the Cellphone.

If you switch on WiFi and a light does not come on, then your WiFI is not working. If the light comes on and you cant connect to the WLAN, then click on the WIFI icon in the system tray. There you will get an option to search WiFi hotspots. When you click on this all the WIFI hotspots in range will be listed. Select the one that is yours and after supplying the WEP key login.

setup Internet access point for WLAN menu>tool>settings>connections>access points select options>new access points Enter Connection name Data bearer: select Wireless LAN WLAN network name: select search wlan to select wlan in range. network status: select "public" if you can see wlan in range WLAN network mode: select infrs or adhoc WLAN security mode: select same settings used by WLAN access point WLAN security settings: Homepage: select the homepage you want
now you can connect & browse the internet. hope this helps

Secured Wireless is better than a unsecured one. Configuring a secured wireless network easy.

You must see the wireless light glow on.
Wireless LAN (WLAN) should be Enabled before configuring the wireless network
· To make sure, if the WLAN is enabled you can check the WLAN light glow.
· If it is off, then you can be sure that WLAN is disabled.

Make sure that your wlan is on, search your wifi ap broadcast by doble click wlan icon under the top corner desktop, double click search if wifi ap appear you can connect by doble click connect bar, if wifi have security you must write or set the security setting like wifi ap by consult with admin wifi. In order to best conection you must in range of wifi signal not so far from your ap.
