Limited Access (Wifi)

[Jerry99666]

Hello, I am currently experiencing problems connecting to my wifi on my Toshiba Satellite L455D with Windows 7 Ultimate installed. I can connect fine using a Ethernet cable but I want the wifi to work instead. I can connect on another laptop but not mine. I have tried to reinstall my wifi card and it didn't work. I also tried to disable then reable my wifi card but that didn't work.  I have tried using the CMD commands IPCONFIG /RELEASE then IPCONFIG /RENEW but I still have had no luck. Here's what I get when I do IPCONFIG in CMD:

Windows IP Configuration

As you can see I have no default gateway so I don't know what the problem could be. Any help would be greatly thanked!!!

Welcome to CH.

Quick question. Did the Toshiba laptop at any time work with the wireless router? Is this a new problem? Or has it always been this way and you just now found out?

In Windows 7 wireless the most common issue is not having the right wireless password and  security type.
This earlier post sounds like your problem also.

But that OP was using XP, the problem should not exist in Windows 7.

Have you already read this from Microsoft?

Does that  help any?

Download MiniToolBox and select all options.
A notepad will open then copy-paste the report on your next reply.

it appears you have a bad card. You could try resetting your router and checking connection to modem etc first. Check drivers for you device second, than ping the loop back 127.0.0.0 address to check your machines tcp/ip stack. If thats fine look at you config on windows see any mistaken settings. Than finally swap cards from a good machine and see if it works. Best of luck!!!
