Hi,

Hey BrunoPatricio, 

I'm sorry you're running into this issue. Check your F12 key. What color is the light on it?

You can try removing and re-adding the network profile, if you have the security key and security and encryption types handy. In the Change Adapter Settings window, select your network and click 'Delete this connection' at the top. Then click back and Connect to a Network to re-add it. Have your network's security type, encryption type and security key available. You can get this easily from another computer by

1. Open Control Panel

2. Open Network and Sharing center

3. Click Manage Wireless Networks

4. Right-clicking on the network in the 'networks available' list and clicking Properties > Security tab.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Hey Kevin58, 

I'm sorry you're running into this wireless issue. I checked your computer's specifications (see 'Wireless' under the Blu-ray/DVD burner chart). You do have a wireless card. 

You'll need to get an Ethernet cable and connect it directly between your computer and the router or modem to gain internet access initially. You'll need internet access to download the software for the wireless card. Choose one of the following, depending on whether you have Windows 7 or Windows Vista installed on your computer.

Windows 7 Atheros Wireless LAN Driver version 8.0.0.144

OR

Windows Vista Atheros Wireless LAN Driver version 7.6.1.122

Install the driver and restart if prompted to do so. Unplug the Ethernet cable from your computer and click on the wireless icon in the System Tray (bottom right, next to the clock) and see if it will detect any networks.

See this video for help connecting to the wireless network after the wireless software/driver is installed.

Let me know the results when you get a chance

Have you tried reseating your network card?

Which version of Windows do you have on your computer?

Here is the Original LAN Driver version 67.8.9.0.

Here is the original Network driver.

You'll have to download it on another computer, save the file (sp44579.exe) to a flash drive and put that flash drive into the p6330f and double-click on the file. Allow it to install and then try the Ethernet connection again.

Original Realtek Networking Controller Driver version 7.6.820.2009 (sp44579.exe)
