Windows 10: Toshiba Satellite Win 10 compatibility

Hello,

I installed W10 Pro on an older Toshiba Satellite laptop. Everything went OK but I am having trouble connecting to my home network.

When I bring the laptop close to the router it detects it and connects automatically, but when I move away to the next room, it loses connection and won't connect again displaying a "Cannot connect to this network" message. This did not happen with W7.

Tried updating drivers, install/uninstall device, reseting router, changing channels... Nothing works. Seems like incompatibility issue maybe...

Specs for the laptop:

Toshiba Satellite A300-1T2

Pentium Dual Core cpu

4GB of memory

Qualcomm Atheros AR9281 Wireless Network Adapter


Thanks in advance

Spiros

How to get into safe mode on Toshiba satellite


Does anyone know how to get into safe mode on a toshiba satellite. Black/blue screen with solid cursor after creator update fail. F8 is disabled by default in windows 10, so please do not suggest anything that requires win 10 to be working.

Windows 10 does not load on startup, no Toshiba logo, just a looping black screen/blue screen with cursor. And the bios is on slow boot.

OK, so it's not browser-specific, but it seems to happen only when you are downloading. That suggests it's related to your Wi-Fi driver, as it was for this thread....

According to Toshiba support you may have either Realtec or Atheros wireless. Which do you have? The latest drivers they list for your model are Win 8.1 for both types. If you put your serial number in here it should tell you the specific type appropriate for your machine.

You may be able to use the Win 8.1 drivers.

You may have had had a driver update recently, it may be that rolling back to the previous driver will help.

My Toshiba L750-16L has Atheros Wi-Fi and works perfectly with the Microsoft-supplied driver.
