And if you want help beyond the original period... you will have to pay for their services too. Just an FYI :-)</p> <p>I would check Device Manager to verify that you have the wireless network card in your computer. </p> <p>Click the Start button and search for "Device Manager". Then look under "Network Adapters". What do you see?</p> <p>Here's a screenshot of mine. You can see that I have a Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet adapter (wired) and a Wireless-N adapter. My wireless adapter is currently disabled since I'm using the Broadcom.</p> <p>[attach=2232/13/mpi439.600x439.devicemanager.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wireless-help#post-908830 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 19:52:51 +0000 mrbee 908830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: Have you tried the Windows 7 wifi troubleshooter?</p> <p><a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/network-connection-problem-help#network-problems=windows-8&#038;v1h=win8tab1&#038;v2h=win7tab1&#038;v3h=winvistatab1&#038;v4h=winxptab1" rel="nofollow">http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/network-connection-problem-help#network-problems=windows-8&#038;v1h=win8tab1&#038;v2h=win7tab1&#038;v3h=winvistatab1&#038;v4h=winxptab1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wireless-help#post-908687 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 18:36:35 +0000 ladybee 908687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: We have Windows 7. Funny thing, I hated apple all through college so we bought a PC. Now I have the iphone and work bought me a ipad and I will save my money for a mac! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wireless-help#post-908634 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 18:01:38 +0000 mrbee 908634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What OS are you using? The Troubleshooting wizards can be really helpful... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wireless-help#post-908589 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 17:26:40 +0000 ladybee 908589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so disappointed. I called HP and they said since it is out of the 1 year warranty they will not help me fix the problem unless I pay $195 for their services. WTH? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wireless-help#post-908562 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 17:05:20 +0000 ladybee 908562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: when we bought the computer we were told that the wireless card was built in? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wireless-help#post-908560 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 17:03:19 +0000 sunny 908560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you positive it has a wireless card in it? Is there an antenna sticking out the back?</p> <p>If there is definitely a card, then either the driver might not be installed correctly or it might not be enabled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wireless-help#post-908556 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 17:00:00 +0000 ladybee 908556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I bought a HP desktop (HP Pavilion P6000) approx. 4 years ago. It never picked up a wireless signal but we always had it plugged in so we just forgot about it. Well now we need to move the computer away from the modem and router and I do not know how to get this stupid thing to work. My only guess is that the actual wireless card in the computer doesn't work. Does that even make sense?</p> <p>My plan is to call HP on Monday but if anyone has any ideas or tips that would be great. I'd like to not sound like an idiot when I call. :) </p>
