Ar5bxb63 atheros in a toshiba pslb8u-0vn037 dissappeared

My wife tried to connect to a friends wireless network(she had the correct access password). I have tried finding it through device manager , network and sharing center and the other regular places to check for it. I get a orange light when I switch to on. I have hit f8+FN( the button as I am on a laptop) no good. I then started on the driver hunt on the internet for the device which is an Atheros wireless adapter model number AR5BXB63. My wife's system had vista and was upgraded to WIN7 Pro. It's a 64 bit system. So I downloaded the windows version x64, I then downloaded the vista version in a last kinda prayer way and to no avail it also didn't work. I then took the laptop apart to make sure someone hadn't removed the actual adapter but its there laughing at me... please any help would be greatly appreciated. my email is [email protected] Thanks in advance for any help.

It could just be that the electronics in the wireless adapter has failed. Do bother with getting it repaired, much cheaper to replace it with a USB version.

Renew password

Connect your router to computer with ethernet cable then you can access it with following default link.
http://192.168.1.1
or
http://192.168.0.1
If you are not able to access it with above ip then check your computers ip address gateway ip is your router ip try with it.
Then it ask for user name and password.
Type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or "password" or blank.
Then you can see configuration page of router.

Click on wireless settings then WPA Security then not down code .It is your password to connect wi fi..
Then you can connect your wi fi network with that code.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

I have been trying all morning to get my Toshiba laptop connected to the internet but to no avail. I am with BT who finally informed me that there may be something wrong with the wireless network adaptor...

1. I see that you have a wireless B adapter. Does your wife's computer have a Wireless B adapter also?

2. If ur wife's laptop does not have a wireless B but has a wireless G then we are closer to resolving the problem

3. It's now time to access the wireless router to see if it is allowing access from wireless B client adapters OR only G.

4. If it is set to G only, then you need to change it to B+G

5. If it is already set to B+G, then we need to check the security settings on the AccessPoint

6. If the security settings need for u to register the MAC address of your card in addition to entering a password then u'd have to acquire the MAC address of ur card and add it to the allow list.

To get MAC ADDRESS:
Go to the command prompt
Type ipconfig /all (then press enter)

Problems with the Atheros ATH AR5bxb63 on XP.

Hi,

May i ask what the problem is as you have not said!!

If it is with the driver, no wireless connection, etc then please could you do to my computer, right click properties, then click device manager. In device manager click networking devices and then right click on the Atheros wireless device to uninstall it.

After it has been uninstalled can you download this updated driver and then restart your laptop.

It should when rebooted come up with found new hardware (the wireless controller). This link will take you to the toshiba downloads http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads. The first download for wireless Atheros is the most recent (06/09).

I hope this helps,

Can't detect network

Hi, Some models of Toshiba Laptops have a slide switch either on the side or front to physically activate the built-in Wifi. Some models also will not work with some models of Access Points if using the built-in Windows Wireless Configuration Utility. A workaround is to install the Wireless Configuration Utility of the WiFi manufacturer. If your Toshiba is using the Atheros WiFi chipset, you may need to install the Atheros 802.11a/b/g Wifi Client utility to use rather than than that pf Windows. The file name is atheros_wpa_client.exe and you can just Google it. Hope this be of some help. Post back how things stand or should you need additional information. Good luck and kind regards.
