Emachines netbook wireless connection not working

http://www.emachines.com/ec/en/US/content/drivers

Here my friend the drivers you need just choose netbook choose model 350 and you are done you have two types of bluetooth drivers Atheros or Broadcom just try who works but i think its Broadcom :)

try a USB wireless N adapter

windows update works sometimes best thing is to go to acer website and download the bluetooth drivers for your model

Attach a Ethernet cable to the laptop, Open Device Manager, Network Adapters, Uninstall the Wireless adapter, reboot, Allow the software to apply the generic driver, try to connect to wireless network. Post results.

try to download Broadcom

if it do not work try Atheros

and it will work fine

make windows 7 update when choosing advanced update find new driver and install them.
Try enabling the wireless card if its not enabled.

what's the Emachines Wlan broadcom moudel?

I also purchased two of these computers. I wiped the HDD and installed Win7 Ultimate. I could not get the wireless NIC driver to install. My solution was to use another wireless USB NIC and use Windows Update, Voila everything was fine. Iam writing this post with one of them. I am somewhat confused by your post referring to a Broadcom NIC. Both of my machines have AtherosAR5B5 wireless network adapters and Atheros AR9132 PCI-e Fast Internet Comtrolers. Broadcom has always meant Bluetooth driver to me, but I may be mistaken about that.

I have always thought of eMachines as being the cheapest in both price and quality but I did a rather extensive investigation on netbooks in general and could not find and justification for spending twice as much for a more popular name brand with basically the same capacities.

I don't know how to do one to one assistance on this site, but if you can figure it out I would be more than willing to help you. I am very pleased with these two netbooks!

Here are the link for your notebook wifi adpater card

Atheros :       ftp://ftp.emachines.com/notebook/E725/XP/08.%20WLAN_Atheros_V7.6.0.239_XP_WHQL.zip

Broadcom :     ftp://ftp.emachines.com/notebook/E725/XP/08.%20WLAN_Broadcom_V4.170.25.19_WHQL.zip

But  e-machines e725 have network both ethernet & wireless problem with Windows XP with Servicepack 3.it work fine with Windows XP service pack 2 and later on you can install Windows XP service pack 3.

Unfortunately, the Toshiba Satelite A135-S2246 was never designed to run XP, only Vista. Which is why you can't find any drivers for XP. The nearest you can get is to find a laptop running XP SP2 that is using the same LAN (ethernet controller) and WLAN (wireless ethernet controller), and see if they will work.

Here are the drivers I found for XP (please check which one's you are trying to install):

Atheros WiFi card driver:

Intel WiFi card driver:

You will need to search for the card that you have.

LAN (ethernet controller):

You can pick third or fourth from top depending on your preference.

Please remember that Toshiba, Microsoft, Atheros, Realtek, Intel and especially myself accept no responsibilty for what may, or may not happen when installing drivers not specifically designed for your system. All that said, I hope it works for you.
