i think your wifi adapter is malfunction. if you can, try to cleanup the wifi adapter and its connector. just to make sure that is no contact problem between wifi adapter and your laptop motherboard. otherwise, i think you must change the adapter itself or buy external wifi adapter.i think your wifi adapter is malfunction.

I went to the toshiba site and they had the same problem but it was with an adapter with a slightly diferent number on it. It was a software fix but they did not have one for my adapter. Do you think I should try to to update the driver software first?I went to the toshiba site and they had the same problem but it was with an adapter with a slightly diferent number on it.

Try checking your computer's driver. Right click on Computer. Go to Device Manager. The device drivers are listed in the device manager. Drivers are used to make your computer parts communicate with the operating system. If it has a problem, then the part won't work.
Check for your wireless driver - update it. If no go, then try turning off your wireless adapter in your computer and turn it on. Check = if no go. Try going to safe mode with networking.
To go to safe mode. Do the following:
1. Restart your computer. While it's starting or booting, keep tapping F8 until you see the options to go to safe mode with networking. Use the arrow keys to highlight safe mode with networking.
2. Let your computer start in safe mode. Check if wireless is working fine.
If you want to avoid this kind of problem in the future or if you want to make sure that your computer is running well, then install Radarsync.
somebody is accessing your wireless network and getting free internet service from you unless you had setup a wep security! if you have an un-secure network then anybody with a wireless adapter can access your network and access your internet free and drag down the speed of your internet connection. however, if you do have wep enabled and there is more than one computer connecting then this will slow your connection down as well. please remember that there are some games and gaming sites that are bandwidth hogs and will slow down other computers connection on the same network. also watching streaming videos and gaming at same time can slow down connections as well.
In your router settings, try changing the protocol, from WEP to WPA/PSK or otherwise. Select one then this should restart your router. Once live see if you can find the router. Also try to set it to Open and also see if this changes anything.
This is not a problem. Wireless connections sometimes tend to be inconsistent. Try closing the distance between your laptop and the wireless network adapter.
