I have HP Pavilion DV laptop. I have problem with WLAN on it. Sometimes WLAN starts and sometimes it doesn't. My router's WLAN is working fine. So there is some problem with WLAN on laptop. I have checked drivers and they are working fine and are updated to latest version. (Broadcom drivers)
Please suggest what might be the problem and solution for this.
Thanks in advance.

We can't help if we don't know what operating system and version you're running. Also, please be specific about what you've already looked at and tried on your own. Telling us there is "some problem" doesn't help. What error messages do you see?

Hello,
I am using Windows Vista SP1 (32bit) Home Premium. I do not see any error message. I see "HP Wireless Assistance" window at start up where it shows wether my Bluetooth and WiFi is on or off. These days I only see Bluetooth on and not WiFi. But sometims I see that Wifi is on and then I can use it. But then next time it will not be there. I have checked Network Drivers. NVIDIA is working fine and is latest. But BROADCOM network adaptor shows a "!"mark. So I tried to install latest driver from HP site and it told me that I am already using latest driver. So I am not sure what is problem.

If you go under your onboard wireless adapter settings, you will see a tab called "perferred ssids". Remove all of them except the one your network is using. That should solve your problem.

Please post back if you have anymore problems or questions.
