Toshiba laptop. I asked about this wifi prob a couple of months ago. i thought I solved the prob but I now got another laptop(acer) and I have no problems with connections. Do u think it is a driver problem?

I don't think it's the driver is the culprit. Sometimes that could be, but in most cases, the problem is with the settings/setups, please check the Wifi Properties. Most Wifi cards automatically detect the network and connect to the network available, but there are still many networks which require manual setups. Before you proceed to the steps below, please make sure that Dhcp is already activated on the wifi card properties of you system, otherwise you'll need to supply an ip address. The basic steps are as follows; Find out what are the Ssid, Channel, Mode and Wep keys. Some Wi-Fi locations do not require a Wep key. Many Wi-Fi providers have this information on their Web site or they'll give you the information when you purchase access. Ensure you have a firewall program installed and running. This will protect your data. Start up your laptop and look for the Wi-Fi network icon in the bottom right of the screen. Click on the Wi-Fi Connection icon on bottom right of screen and you should see a window that indicates connection, strength and duration. Click on the Properties tab. Now you can check whether this helps or not. If you have set up these things correctly and still not having fixed it, then you need to reinstall the drivers and again setup the wifi settings. Good luck. Thanks for using FixYa.
