Can someone give me compaq presario cq50 wifi driver help?

Question

I was getting the common problem with my computer where my computer would connect to my router on local only, it wouldn't connect to the internet, so i uninstalled and reinstalled my atheros ar5007 802.11b/g wifi adapter and now my computer doesn't detect any networks. when i diagnose and repair it says make sure your internet protocol bindings are correct(which they are) and the network adapter is experiencing driver or hardware related issues. I've tried many solutions from all around the internet, so many i cant list them all, so please give as many solutions as you can!

Answer 1

Good the chipset install helped but I’m a bit confused.



1. According to what I’m reading, your notebook came configured with internal wireless. If that’s true, why are you using an additional external wireless adapter?

2. Unless you know the internal wireless is dead, has been removed, or didn’t come with that configuration, remove the external wireless card from the notebook and uninstall any and all wireless drivers you’ve installed.

3. Next, install the Quick Launch Buttons. This is required to turn the wireless on and off via the button next to the power button (except through device manager).

4. I don’t know which onboard type wireless card came in your unit (if equipped) but either way, reboot and install the Broadcom driver from HP. If that doesn’t fix the onboard wireless, uninstall the Broadcom driver, reboot, and install the Atheros driver. Confirm operation through device manager.

5. If you have no internal wireless card. Uninstall all previously installed wireless drivers, shut down, reinstall the external wireless card, start the computer, and install the Broadcom driver only (It is not Atheros). If none of that works, you may need a different Broadcom driver for the Compaq external wireless card.



thanks

Download the FULL software for the wireless from the HP/Compaq site. If it was connecting to the router wireless could NOT be the problem, it has to be a bad TCP/IP setting or a router problem, or even spyware interfering with the connection.
