wireless button

[Busykid508]

For months I have had nothing but problems with my Atheros AR5009 Wireless Network Card and was not able to connect to the internet through my home network. However, I am able to connect through a Public Network.

After pulling out my hair for several months, I figured out that my Internet Provider's Router had the wrong settings and had that problem correrected and now I am able to connect to the internet through my home network.

But now, my wireless button on HP DV7-3057nr Pavilion Laptop constantly flashes from amber to blue  I have Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64 Bit with the Atheros AR5009 Wireless Network Card.

How can I get this to stop flashing and if I cannot get it to stop, will this hurt my laptop?

Thank you for you help in this matter.

Hi,

Try a Hard Reset as follows.

Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook - has this made any difference to the issue?

Thank you for the quick reply.  I followed your directions and it still is blinking from amber to blue. It's funny because I am able to connect to the internet as previously stated by me but this darn flashing light on the wireless button won't stop.

I have tried reboot the computer and just before windows starts on boot, I press the amber wireless button until it turns blue and the release it, hoping this would solve the problem but it does not.

Hi,

Try downloading and reinstalling the WLAN driver on the link below.

After the reinstallation has completed, restart the notebook.
