![]() ![]() I just sold it to the client, as it made no sense to pursue getting the built-in card working again from any standpoint after "the very simple and usual quick fixes" didn't fix it. It functioned instantly upon being plugged in. I have several of the nano-sized USB WiFi adapters and grabbed one of those out of the stash. This is still mysterious to me in that the thing had been connecting for months and all "diagnostic signs" are that it's working fine. Just to wrap things up, I did try installing the latest driver from the page that referenced just to see if a connection could be established again via WiFi - no dice. That, or if someone has a an experience where there is a sudden "selective blindness" for a WiFi network that a machine previously could see and connect to with ease, and they've solved it. If anyone knows of a safe source for this driver, as I can't find it (so far, anyway) via Realtek nor (no support pages exist for this model of the Toshiba Satellite), that would be functional under Windows 10 I'm all ears. ![]() I cannot, however, find one from anything I'd consider "a reliable source." ![]() I am at a loss to explain this "selective blindness" on the part of the WiFi card, and though the smartest thing to do was to uninstall the device and install a newer, and non-generic, driver for same. It also shows the device as functioning, and it does pick up a number of other nearby WiFi networks, including the mobile hotspot on my phone if I turn it on. The driver shown is a generic Microsoft driver dating from 2016. Now, for some reason, it cannot even see it nor, of course, connect to it. They recently had Xfinity cable internet installed and this machine was able to see the WiFi network and connect. Today's new client has a Toshiba Satellite L650 with an older i5 processor that originally shipped with Windows 7.
