I can not get wireless to work on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop L505-S5966. Other computers can get wireless. My wireless shows enabled in network adapters, but does not show antenna or connect. Please help. Modem is Toshiba Software modem. Using Windows 7.

If my Toshiba Qosmio laptop uses the same wireless as your Satellite then I can tell you it's a driver problem. MS just released on the windows update site a new driver for that wireless card and it caused my wifi to stop working. Just uninstall the device from hardware manager and reboot. Let it look for drivers and it will find and reinstall the old one. I'm not at home so I can't tell you the name of the wifi card so I don't really know if this will solve your problem.
