This section provides general troubleshooting tips for networking 
problems, specifically wireless (Wi-Fi

®

) networking.

The terms and concepts used assume a basic understanding of 
networks, and may be for more advanced users. If you need 
assistance or if you are not familiar with the terminology, please see 
Windows

®

 Help and Support or contact your computer technician.

❖

If your computer is equipped with an internal Wi-Fi

®

 adapter, 

verify that the Wireless antenna ON/OFF switch is ON (the 
Wi-Fi

®

 light 

 will be lit).

To determine if your computer has an internal Wi-Fi

®

 adapter, check 

the device list in Device Manager (part of the Windows

®

 Control 

Panel). Some Toshiba models may have a Wireless antenna ON/OFF 
switch even though they do not have an internal Wi-Fi

®

 adapter.

❖

Verify that signal strength is good using the utility provided 
with the Wi-Fi

®

 adapter.

❖

If another computer is on the same network, verify that it has 
network access, and can connect to the Internet. If, for 
example, the other computer cannot browse to a public Web 
site, the ISP’s (Internet Service Provider) service may be 
disrupted.

❖

Verify that the Service Set Identifier (SSID), or network name, 
is correct—i.e., that it matches the SSID assigned to the access 
point you are attempting to connect through. SSIDs are case-
sensitive. Toshiba provides a Client Manager utility for setting 
and managing SSIDs.

❖

Check the Control Panel’s Device Manager to verify that the 
Wi-Fi

®

 adapter is recognized by the Windows

®

 operating 

system, and that the driver is loaded. Carefully note any error 
messages—these will be very helpful if you should confer with 
a support technician at a later time.
