Nokia 520 does not see the network. Driver for Nokia Lumia

Mobile operating room Windows system Phone is developing very actively now, and it's hard to argue with that. I also have a Windows Phone ( Nokia Lumia 925), and I am very pleased with it. To be honest, Android is bored, I want something new. But this article is not about my Lumia, or which OS is better. Phones on this operating system work stably, and in terms of Internet access via Wi-Fi, everything is just as good.

For example, for several months I have not noticed a single problem in which Nokia Lumia would not want to connect to Wi-Fi, or the Internet would not work.

But, as I noticed, different questions appear about the problems that still arise when trying to connect a Windows Phone phone to Wi-Fi, or after connecting. Typically, these are problems when the connection to the wireless network is established, but sites on the phone do not open. Or, for example, when Nokia Lumia does not see Wi-Fi network... And he does not see only one, desired network, and sees the neighboring ones.

In this article, we will try to figure out why there may be problems connecting your Windows Phone to wireless networks, and how to solve these problems. On the this moment, WP version 8 (I will show using this version as an example), an update to Windows Phone 8.1 is coming soon. Perhaps there will be some changes in the work with wireless networks.

Windows Phone connects to Wi-Fi, but the Internet does not work

This is probably the most popular problem. And as a rule, it is not the smartphone that is to blame for this problem, but the access point itself (router). You connect the phone to the network, as I wrote in the article, it connects (status: connection established), but when you try to open the site in the browser, an error appears: “The page cannot be displayed”... Applications such as VKontakte, Twitter, Skype cannot go online.

When the smartphone cannot get the IP address

Usually, routers distribute IP addresses themselves, they have a DHCP server enabled. But it happens that DHCP is disabled for some reason. (when, for example, IP is registered manually on devices)... Honestly, I have not found how to manually register an IP address on Windows Phone 8. I think that in Windows Phone 8.1, this problem will be fixed.

If your phone cannot receive IP, then you will most likely see an error, something like: “The phone cannot connect to the Wi-Fi network because the network is not responding. Please try again later ”... Or, next to the name of the network, there will be just an inscription "Protected".

You need to check if the DHCP server is enabled in the router settings. If not, turn it on. How to do this, I wrote in a separate. Look after the heading “Check if the DHCP server is enabled on the Wi-Fi router”.

You can also try which wireless network is running on. Try, for example, only n, or g.

Nokia Lumia does not see Wi-Fi network

When I write Nokia Lumia, I have to enter any phone on Windows Phone 🙂, you get the idea.

Highlighted on some forum the problem that Lumia (I don't remember exactly which model), did not see my home wireless network. It simply wasn’t on the list of available networks. The problem is not uncommon and can occur on any device.

So, in the case of Microsoft's operating system, I would also advise you to change the channel on which the router broadcasts your wireless network. How to do this is written in detail. Since it is the interference on the channel that usually causes these problems. Try some kind of static channel, not Auto mode. And don't put the channel higher than 12th.

Afterword

It seems to have written about all the popular problems. If you are faced with any other problem in the Internet via Wi-Fi on Windows Phone, or if you know some new solutions to the problems described above, then you can share useful information in comments. Don't be lazy 🙂

Quite often, users are faced with a problem: the smartphone stubbornly refuses to connect to WiFi, and, moreover, it does not matter at all whether it is a home access point or a public one. Why can't Lumia see WiFi?

In this article, we'll go over the solution to this problem and help you deal with the wayward L520.

Let's consider the main problems:

Connected but not connected

So, you connect to WiFi, which you enabled in advance in the phone settings, the connection is successful, you open your favorite page ... and it cannot be displayed. Nokia Lumia does not see wifi hotspot.

Let's discard the possibility of a complete lack of Internet and a malfunction of the router and turn to the smartphone itself, which, perhaps, is the problem. First, restart both devices, router and smartphone, and try again - it should help. If the problem persists, then go to WiFi settings, select the network - change - turn off proxy server.

Unable to connect to WiFi

Lumia 520 does not see WiFi at home or flatly refuses to connect to the network, thinks for a long time and asks to repeat the password? Is the password correct? Check back. Correct and still not connecting? Go ahead and try to change the type of network security, this is done in the settings of the router. Very often the problem is that Lumia does not see WiFi networks, which are configured for 10-13 channels, therefore, the channel needs to be changed, so if your router provides such an option, then go to its settings and change the channel, for example, to 6. Let's draw your attention to the fact that Lumiya refuses to work with routers ASUS.

Unable to get IP address

If a notification pops up that the connection is impossible because the network is not responding, then the problem lies in the inability to obtain an IP address. Check if it is enabled DHCP server in the settings of the router, if not, then turn it on. If the problem persists, then again in the router settings we try to change the operating mode wireless network on the n or b.

Unable to connect to computer

Another common and equally annoying problem is when your computer does not see Nokia Lumia. To fix it, we first use the good old way, namely, take out the battery. Believe it or not, it works.

If it does not help, then we turn our attention to the presence of a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager, which says that the drivers are outdated or installed incorrectly. We update the drivers without forgetting to delete the old ones.

There are two types of breakdowns mobile phones, which can actually be eliminated in an almost identical way. These are the following problems:

  • Can't see SIM card Nokia Lumia 520;
  • Can't see Nokia Lumia 520 memory card.

Despite the fact that the malfunctions are different, almost the same rescue actions are required to detect them and restore the full functionality of the considered portable communication device, for example:

  • to find out why he does not see (sim) sim card Nokia phone Lumia 520, free computer diagnostics required. Inspection is also necessary when he does not see the flash card (flesh) Nokia Lumiya 520;
  • for replacement in both cases, only native, original spare parts are used;
  • a guarantee for a period of up to one is always provided, despite the specifics of the repair of a communication device.

Employees with many years of experience in our service center Telemama explains why in most cases it does not read Nokia Lumiya 520 cards.

There may be one of these malfunctions:

  • If you constantly write "insert card", despite the fact that you did not take out the card, then, presumably, the SIM or flash reader is out of order. When you see that a component is broken, you will have to replace it;
  • The card control chip may be faulty;
  • Due to shocks, falls, mechanical damage of various complexity or getting wet (oxidation, corrosion, rust of metal parts begins) certain components printed circuit board deteriorate, in need of urgent restoration.

We can easily eliminate all of the above defects and malfunctions as soon as possible.
