9262 Wifi fails to find any networks.

I'm at work and there are a multitude of networks to connect to here.
WPA/WPE/open/A/B/G/N but this stupid Intel Wifi Link will not even see them...
Anyone run into this issue? I've never seen this before on any laptop.

I'm using the newest drivers from the Intel website.

 

are you running vista or xp? only the drivers or the full intel software? i know i had issues with the intel program in vista i removed it and just installed only the drivers and i use the vista network connections to connect with the card..not sure why but now i have no issues and the intel n card blow away my g based ones in my other notebooks even connecting to a g network.. works awesome now..

also what are the setting you are using for the card under device manager??

 

remember that Fn+F11 is the Toggle for the wifi.

 

No problem with mine. I tried both XP and Vista, though it took me some minutes before I realized that it was off. XP and Vista do not have drivers so it is needed to install them.

PL

 

Its XP, im going to try and remove the connect software and just install the drivers.

zfactor what setting are you asking about?

Gophn the wifi is on, it works at home no problems.

 

under device manager click on the network cards open the wireless one and you will see the settings for the card, like power saver or g only etc... lmk what they are set to

 

allow windows to control the wifi instead of the intel pro software.

 

Removed the intel pro software and reinstalled driver only (once from the setup once from hardware manager)... Nothing still...

Here are the settings:

802.11n Channel Width = auto
802.11n Mode = enabled
Ad Hoc Channel = 802.11b/g (11)
Ad Hoc Power Mgmt = Disabled
Ad Hoc QoS Mode = WMM Enabled
Fat channel Inter = Disabled
HD Mode = Disable
Mixed mode protection = CTS-to-self enabled
Power management = lowest
Roaming agressiveness = In the middle
Throughput enhancement = Disable
Transmit power = Highest
Wireless mode = a,b and g

 

-make sure the wireless networks at your work are not hidden and are broadcasting their ssid (or whatever it's called) because it is strange that your laptop does not even see them.

un-instal the drivers and intel software. then make sure the wifi card is turned on by pressing fn+f11 and instal the intel pro software again. after that immediately set windows to control the wifi instead of the intel pro software.

if these do not work you may have a faulty wireless card. as a last resort check device manager and make sure there are no exclamation marks on any device and that they are all working properly.

good luck. keep us posted!

 

I think the card might be bad....
I messed with the settings, turned the power up, nothing...
The laptop is directly next to my home wifi and the signal strength is poor to nil.
I move to my room and I cant even see the network any more.

Computer reports the card is fine..
Ill contact XoticPC and see what they can do.

 

a card swap is fast and easy.... in the manual too I believe

If it needs replacement, XoticPC would probably get a new one cross-shipped to you.

 

yea it's easy. pop open the keyboard and take out the under-plate. the wireless card will be visible. check to make sure it's antenna is connected.
