Hello,
My Toshiba Satellite A505 is having problems with wireless. It shows that I am connected, but when I click on a browser to bring up internet - it just sits there - and then I get a server error. When I have it connected with Ethernet it works fine. My router is not the problem - in that I can connect other devices wirelessly -- and additionally I had the same problem with the laptop at someone else's house. Any suggestions?

DID either of you get an answer, my L455 same thing but im getting a slow downstream,normal upstream and normal wired LAN speed. I tried a few USB WIFI adapters and no help. A few pretty good techs couldnt figure this out I got many guesses. This problem will drive me crazy.....the laptop has sentimental value plus I dont wish to purchase a new box now. Any clues? Also the off button on the wifi ( FN+F12) wont function although the green light goes on....IM perplexed
