    Windows 7 inital setup with no initial WPS support

    I was setting up a new laptop for a client which required a factory installation of Windows 7.
    But when I was connecting to a wireless network with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (in what appears to be a setup wizard), I got no prompt to push the button for this function or enter a PIN number, although I was able to connect with the pushbutton method (after clicking on the network connections icon) after installation of Windows 7 was finished.
    Why didn't the Windows 7 setup prompts for connecting to a wireless network allow Wi-Fi Protected Setup?
    One possible reason why you initially cannot connect with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (even though both access point and client support it in hardware and drivers) is that the client may not be completely configured.
    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

          Maximum speed should be marked on network ports
          by japlytic
          I noted that a number of consumer entertainment devices have the maximum speed marked on the wired network port and considering that there are broadband plans faster than 100 Mbit, the wired network port can be a bottleneck since some routers do not have Gigabit (only 100 Mbit) support for the WAN port let alone the wired network ports.

          One other thing: Certain low cost network cables only have two pairs which limits speed to 100 Mbit.​

          M557-G0 no WiFi/Bt no WIFIVendor file?
          by howardc64
          Thanks to Diah, got M557-G0 LCD panel buffer board repaired and running ( link ) Next challenge is no WiFi/Bt despite module on the main board and getting 3.3v supply (3.45v measured)
          • TV Menu shows Network Access Point option (enet unplugged) but menu can't select that entry
          • Service Menu shows many Bt/Wifi info missing
          • Vizio app shows no WIFIVendor file
          Prior owner used enet and said turned off wifi somehow. It seems system config info for wifi might be missing. Anyone experienced this before?
          • Tried countless enet unplug (user manual said need to unplug enet to get to wifi menu), factory

          Philips 58PUS7805 Menu working but no/weird picture from video sources
          by Ierwin
          Hello everyone,

          I got a 58pus7805 that shows some weird behavior.
          The menu and remote work fine and the picture is looking crisp and flawless while navigating the menu.
          However, when a video source is displayed the screen either goes solid green (HDMI), solid black (SAT TV) or shows some fragments on mostly green background (AVI Playback from USB).

          I tried to reinstall the firmware through the menu which was rejected saying it already had the latest version.
          I managed to install the latest official firmware by holding the control button while plugging...

          Samsung UN55JU650DF network/streaming problem
          by howardc64
          Fixed a 9 year old UN55JU650 by replacing backlight. Original backlight LED was still working after 27k! hours but terrible picture of course. Few LEDs were out, 5-6 lens fell off (bright white spots) and another few popped off with slightest force. Surviving LEDs were all slightly blue so picture has a blue tint.

          This TV runs older Tizen OS (updated to latest version, see pic) and have problems with network (wifi or ethernet) connection. The Tizen UI frequently switch to coax input source while changing content sources. . If no good signal (coax not connected, no prior antenna/cable...
