Wireless network:

Wireless network doesn?t mean a specific  network, it could be any kind of computer network, but it must be wireless, these wireless networks are mostly  linked with a telecommunications network, whose interconnection is done totally without the use of wires. Wireless telecommunications networks are usually controlled by the help of a distant information transmission system that uses electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, for the carrier, and this execution generally takes place at the substantial level of the network. There are various kinds of wireless networks such as Wireless Personal Area Networks, Wireless Metropolitan area networks, and Wireless Wide Area Networks.

Common problems that can arise in Toshiba?s?R600 wireless network:

There are many problems that can arise in the wireless networks not only in Toshiba?  R600, but in almost every laptop that uses wireless networks, such as how to connect to a router if it is not establishing any connection, what basic things should one consider to protect the wireless network, how should one can open ports on the router, the extension of the range of the wireless signals, how to connect to the wireless network without any kind of human intervention for the first time, and what procedure should be followed in order for sharing files on wireless networks. These are some common problems that arise mostly when using wireless networks.

Tips to resolve the issue:    

There are many solutions to the problems described above like first of all one has to understand that the router must be configured for Dynamic Host configuration Protocol (DHCP). If yes then, disable and re-enable the DHCP system. For the security of the wireless network­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ Routers usually recommend two general types of securities: the WEP, and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). Both are easy to enable, but the maximum protection is provided by WPA. To turn on the security, go into the router's browser-based management tool, and check the wireless security area. WPA requires a simple security phrase that phrase consists of 8 to 63 characters; this will safeguard the wireless network.

Things to keep in mind:

The first thing to do is to install the accurate device driver for the wireless network adapter. If a wrong device driver has been chosen, this will result in different kinds of problems or the adapter will stop working anymore. Inspection should be done that whether the wires are plugged in the router. Make sure that the power cable is linked, and that all the lights of the router, and cable/DSL modem are on. You will also have to check that your wireless network adapter is switched on or not, and also take a look at the device certification because these details are different for every product.
