HS-1200 breaks Wireless Internet access

FYI, I just installed and started using the HS-1200 yesterday and they are awesome. An unfortunate side effect is that it breaks the wireless internet in my house. Wireless routers and the headset both operate at 2.4GHZ and they don't play well together. I thought it may have been my Belkin N1 Vision router so I went out and bought a Linksys WRT310N and it does the same thing. The remote computer have trouble connecting and when they do they get around 1mbps. Turn off the headset and poof, back to 36-54mbps. I have open tickets now with all 3 parties involved so hopefully there is a fix, otherwise the $106 headphones have to go in the closet and that would really p_ss me off.
I can't believe that this problem didn't present itself anywhere in their testing and QA process.

Im having the same issue also SabreHawke. I use my HS-1200, with my desktop replacement laptop, and off and on, the wifi light indicator turns off then on. Never had this issue before. Been using wireless channel 2 for about 3 years now, w/ great connection. Not sure what channel the headset uses. I cant use the default channels, i think 6, 9, 11, cause once someone turns on the microwave it disconnects. Guess i'll try some others, but channel 2 has been the best. Other than this i love the headset, :-).
Edit: Did speakeasy speed test.
Normal (w/ headset off): Download ~10mbps w/ speedboost up to 16. Upload ~2mbps.
Headset On: Download ~1.5mbps. Upload ~1.0mbps.

Wireless Internet Access (Cisco IP NGN or Cisco Wireless Mesh Networkin)??

Dear Cisco Wireless Team
Please educate us on where to start, or the CISCO product we might need to purchase
We are trying to branch out a new Internet wireless access and wireless phone service business in our company, and presently looking for the right Cisco product solution to purchase to enable us offer this service in LAGOS, NIGERIA.
The service will be rendered in Africa, the country NIGERIA, and the city LAGOS.
We would like to mount or install the product in Lagos, Nigeria.
As we are new to this kind of service. We would appreciate if the Cisco wireless team can work with us in pointing or directing on the right product to purchase and what are required. We understand the Cisco Wireless Mesh Networking Solution, Cisco IP Generation Network, Cisco 12416 or 7600 Series Router might be the right products to purchase, but we are not sure on what needed or what are required to meet our service need.
Possibly we would like to offer Wireless Internet Access to unlimited subscribers, and also Wireless or Mobile Phone service to unlimited subscribers in Nigeria.
Anticipating your reply

I suppose Cisco Wireless Mesh Networking would be a good choice.The Cisco mesh architecture makes it easy to scale coverage as capacity needs dictate, including increasing access point density; adding wired connections, controllers, and radios; and using dual high-powered, high-sensitive radios and a selection of high-gain antennas.Refer the document for IP NGN in the following URL http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns537/networking_solutions_solution_category.html

Wireless Internet access via requires unplugging cable modem -

I have a brand new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.1) and Airport Express (7.4.2). I have high speed Internet via Comcast/cable modem. I spent 30 minutes with the Apple Tech Support folks and was finally able to get wireless internet access. However, after I shutdown and reboot, the only way I can wireless internet is to unplug the internet cable from both the wall plug and cable modem and unplug the modem, both for about two minutes. This isnt what I had in mind when I crossed over from the dark side (PC laptop world) and am having buyer's remorse. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem (i dont want to unplug cables before each session on the internet)?

Mr. Timmons,
Thank you so much for the response. I thought the complete reboot would work, but apparently not. I followed the directions precisely, even waiting a few minutes longer than suggested for each of the steps. My air express is still blinking yellow. I think the issue has something to do with the DHCP and the IP address which are diifferent. The IP address is one series of number (starts with 169), and the LAN IP address is another number (starts with 10). Status on airport express show yellow for internet connection, and yellow for no DSN servers. When I go to the internet tab of airport utility, it shows the iPv4 address starts wutg the 169 number. When I click on the network tab, the DHCP range starts with the 10 number. When I open the Network Options window, the iPv4 DHCP range starts with the 10 number. I am at a loss as to how to get them to match up (with either the 169 number or the 10 number). V/R sjbgtmo

Restrict wireless internet access on certain periods of time

Hello,
We need help on setting up a network with some restrictions for the attached clients.
We're quite new at setting up a network at this size.
Used devices:
1x SRP 540 router
1x SG 300-10P managed switch
4x AP 541N accesspoint
What we want to do:
1. Around 100 laptops and desktop computers need wireless internet access, but some of them on limited times during the day.
2. Not all wireless devices are allowed on using the wireless network.
3. There are also wired desktops that don't need restrictions.
4. We need the possibility to restrict most of the wireless devices to access certain websites or use certain applications on those computers to use internet access during the times that the computers are allowed to access the internet.
5. We want to restrict the clients for using torrents or other possibilities of downloading illegal content.
What we were able to do:
1. The accesspoints (AP 541N) are clustered to achieve 1 large wireless network.
2. Only mac-adresses that are listed in the accesspoints are capable of using the wireless network. Other mac-adresses are not allowed to use the accesspoints.
What we tried already:
1. adding the mac-adresses for the accesspoints to the list of "internet access policy" in the router. Internet access seemed still possible during periods the access wasn't supposed to be possible.
2. adding the mac-adresses from all clients in this internet access policy seemed useless. Only 10 Internet Access Policies seem to be possible to program. 8 mac-adresses per policy. Knowing there are (at least) two policies needed to restrict a group of 8 macs to access the internet in 24 hours (because blocking the internet from f.e. 22u in the evening to 6 in the morning is not possible because 6 is smaller than 22 - or 10PM).
Besides, after blocking internet access, we need also to write policies in blocking some websites or keywords.
Thanks already for your guidelines.
Wim

what about the thoughts of radius for authentication which is connected to active directory for your wireless users. Then have those people you must limit access too during the day in their own security group that's only allowed to login to the domain during certain times of the day.
To limit sites or what they can do on the Internet will require a separate solution for content/URL filtering. Then you can make policies and apply to your security groups in active directory block by category, keyword, and so on.
This is all great assuming you can get these clients into AD.
Just a quick thought, hope it helps.

Wireless internet access in other countries

Does anyone know if the iBook can be used for wireless internet access in other countries, specifically Buenos Aires, Argentina and Italy?
iBook G4

Hi,
never had any problems with this (hotels and airports throughout Europe, Middle-East,...), somethimes you get immediate access to a provider when using your browser (then all you need to do is buy time with your credit card number); or by using the internet application: you will see the names of the providers in the list because of the signals your computer receives; then again you need to buy time;
greetings, Dag

I recently bought an i phone 5, but in the home with wireless internet access, it si countinued when off, i do not know what reason. but i go to apple store, the phone can working with Wi-Fi

i recently bought an i phone 5, but in the home with wireless internet access , it is continued when off, sometimes can not working,
i do not know what reason, but i went to apple store, Ha, the phone can go to Wi - Fi and connected is good.

but in the home with wireless internet access , it is continued when off, sometimes can not working,
What does "it is continued when off" mean?
And the same for "somtimes can not working"?

Relocating and wireless internet accessibility

I'm relocating and I'm wondering how I can find out if I have wireless internet access there and if I can keep my Fios or if I'll have to switch to another provider.
Thanks.

Complete wireless internet access failure:(

Ok everyone, here is the low down for the last month.
I use a 2005 ibook G4, access internet and email set up w/ Mac Mail thru my airport card and jump on wireless cafe that i live next 2. For 3 whole months, i was set up and running internet and email perfectly. I didn't change any setting, service, etc. Except the network from cafe (from linksys to RGII).
1st: as of 1/1, i lost my ability to send email thru Mac mail using wireless access (thru cafe). Error was "port 25 timed out". After spending 4 days with ISP, setting- resetting POP account and outgoing server, pinging port 25 to verify sent, scanning port 25 to verify, etc, etc, etc. This produced no resolution.
2nd: as of 1/21, I have lost complete internet access. I have run the network diagnostic to fix, no go...
SO, I took my ibook to the Genius bar at Apple store for a looksy. Sure enough some setting were off or changed, (by my own troubleshooting). After everything was checked and reset, all was A-OK (at the Store). I could access internet, received AND send email. Yippee!
NOW here is the tricky part... as soon as i got home and turned her on, I could see the airport finding networks (RGII), But when I try to access email or internet (thru Mac Mail, safari) it says my ibook is not connected to internet, same for email. I run the network diagnostic, and it can't fix problem.
When I go next door to see if the cafe is having router problems on there end...Nope everyone is accessing the internet just fine:(
This is NOT a problem with password etc, As the cafe is set up with authentication as NONE. Plus everyone there is able to use the wireless access.
So what do you propose is my problem? Remember this was all working fine for 3 months and started to fall apart this last month. In addition, to having eveything work just fine at the Apple store a mere 30mins before.
Could this be an issue with the RGII network i am jumping on?
Why would I be the only person effected and not everyone at the cafe?
ibook Mac OS X (10.4.3) wireless access at cafes

Though it doesn't solve your issue, I thought I'd
share that I can access many non-Apple access points
(Cisco 1200's, Linksys WAP54G's for example) with OS
10.4.4. This being so, I think we're safe to assume
the issue is not related to a recent OS update.
I'm afraid I must disagree with this. Few months back, I lost my Airport connection when I installed the 10.4.3 System Update. Fixed by restoring from backup and going back to 10.4.3. Managed to upgrade to 10.4.4 successfully and maintain wireless connection to a Compex 802.11g base station. Then I made the mistake of accepting the Airport 2005-001 update. Immediately lost my Airport connection. Other PCs can connect to the base station, and I can access the internet by connecting my Powerbook to the router using Ethernet. Can even see the Airport network and login to the router's admin page over wireless. Only thing that doesn't work is connecting to the internet wirelessly.
Once I changed my base station to an older one I had lying around, I can connect wirelessly again and all seems well.
My conclusion is that Airport Update 2005-001 definitely broke compatibility between Airport Extreme and some 3rd party base stations. The irony is that this update was supposed to "improve" compatibility !

Wireless internet access issues

Hi All,
Now that I have the back up battery issue resolved and my mac works again, need some help with my airport connectivity.
I have a circa 2000 Imac DV, using OS 9.1. I just purchased and installed an airport card. I used to use dial up internet access and am now trying to access the internet via my Verizon wireless DSL. The little telephone icon appears on the tool bar. Is this correct?
The computer won't recognize my secure WEP DSL password and seems to try to access the internet via the PPP connection.
I have a secure WEP internet connection. Just a few days ago a friend of mine was able to access the internet from my DSL via her new powerbook. Her computer accepted my WEP password.
Do I need to make any system configuration changes to turn off the PPP connectivity to use my airport card?
Thanks, Ken

kweiss66, Welcome to the discussion area!
You are in completely the wrong discussion area. You need to post your question in the iMac CRT (G3) discussion area.

Z60t wireless/Internet access problem

I purchased in 2006 at office depot, after a year and a half of using it just stop accessing the internet, I am so desperate since I am not a computer junkie, my needs are simple just to be able to receive and send emails and easy net surfing. I called Lenovo but they are not willing to help since my machine is out of warranty. Please help me, I lost my jo, my home cannot afford to take it to a service location IBM recommends. Thank you.

Hi there Bananaman, you are one of those wonderful volunteers out there, anyway, as I have said purchased machine on 06 worked for at least year and a half then quit on me. I cannot access the internet, took it to office depot since I purchsed it from them, they're offering FREE tune up had me purchase a Linksys LAN card telling me the built in wireless netcard had given up on me. Did not help, they sent me home w/ the LAN card assuring me it will work since in my house I have a wide range of wireless internet connection whatever. Did not work either. Called IBM Lenovo only to be declined of tech support because machine not warranty covered. Yesterday, I tried to fix it(LOL) for a miracle to struck me but to my despair. I don't know what to do, I want to take it to service center recommended by IBM but got no green. I am hopeful that, being a member of the Lenovo community, I could find some real help from real people like you. These are the characters I see at the back of my machine I think as the product number, (TYPE 2511 - FEU S/N ******* 0510) Thank you.

New MBP - wireless/internet access networking problem - a summary!

Greetings!
New MBP here, with all the trimmings (MacOS X 10.4.10 - Safari 3 Beta). New also to the Apple/MAC world
MBP >> wireless networking into a Linksys WRT54G router and >> thru HughesNet DW7000 Satellite Internet connection (not the fastest, but hey, the US and especially rural areas are NOT S. Korea when it comes to speedy internet connections!
Frankly, I bought into it for two reasons: First, hearing about the vaunted Mac a/v/ and doc/photo editing capabilities,... and about MacOS stability, etc... Well, it all needs a little work still: on the part of new users like me, but also probably on the part of the Apple/Mac people as well. 2nd reason I decided to purchase the MBP - i.e. ability to run Windows (I have not yet tried BootCanp, etc...: still resolving preliminary issues!). I still live in a heavy Win environment at my business - no other way of course!
Communications issues seem to still prevail: I am hanging out at several VERY HELPFUL forums (AppleDiscussionForum, MacRumorsForums, etc...) and the same issues keep popping up. Im my case, same as all above reported, with a few additional points, as follows:
1. Xmission errors: seem to be - at least in my case - a constant factor, regardless on how close/far i am from my wireless router. For example, I would be attempting to dwnload an upgrade (large)QT or MacOS file. i am barely into the dowmoad, and I already have several Read/Send errors. By the end of the download, I will have probably about 15 Rcv and 5 Send errors. Never gets quite that bad in my Win machines, I must mention. Anything to do here (I know, there are such things always affecting wireless com). AND, MOST importantly, how that this affect the effectiveness of the upgrade (I spotted same thing with MacOS 10.4.10 and Safari Beta 3 upgrade downloads!). Would it be likely that applying upgrades in such circumstances would screw up the OS??? Could OTOH such errors be automatically "compensated" by re-xmits from the source, and eventually the download would be OK? Because quite frankly, I do NOT know if my important upgrade download was OK to apply to the system, given those errors!!!
Also same thing with PING errors. Quite frequent when pinging another device on my network.
2. Quite often, accessing a site will proceed somehow OK, and then things will get stuck twd the end, as if some buffer somewhere gets overloaded??? Of course, as elsewhere reported, same can often happen with com getting stuck right over the "www" part of the URL!
3. AND, of course, the often reported "NO connection to the Internet", but computer shows good signal level and connection otherwise.
4. Strangely enough, seems that the Airport Extreme wifi card sort of "warms up the the internet" as one proceeds to start using it. It eventually picks up on a network, and often "improves" its connection over time!
5. Built in Airport Extreme seems to not exhibit up all immediately surrounding networks. Sensitivity issue?? iStumbler does.
6. iStumbler permanently posts noise level of 9% regardless of how close to my wireless router/broadband modem I am. Anyone uses iStumbler to monitor network traffic?
This is getting longuish: I just want to get over all those p*ant issues and get into putting my a/v stuff together!!
- Roger T
Thanks for just reading all this!. I am not sure it is all fixable (back to the Win "features" terminology, really meaning "bugs"??)

Thanks, BDaqua. This support forum is quite well stocked: I have been perusing all its nooks and cranies!
On the www.dslreports.com - All things Mac - forum, I spotted a couple of mentions of the following type of infromation:
link: »www.hardmac.com/news/2007-07-27/#7039
- The first TechNote provides information concerning the Airport problem affecting the MBP Santa Rosa (but also other Mac Intel). When used on battery, the wireless connection drops and one can even experience kernel panic. Apple Centers are asked not to exchange affected notebook as this is due to a unidentified bug in the Atheros driver, and should be fixed in the future with a simple Airport system update. So for the moment, unfortunate users are asked to directly power their notebook when using wireless network, or using Ethernet connection when running on battery... in other words, turn your notebook into a desktop
to forum · permalink
I am wondering if you and folks on this close-to-Apple forum know anything about this. At least, we could just await remedy instead of messing around endlessly looking for solutions and... pondering as to whether it was a wise thing to purchase an expensive machine which happens to have trouble communicating online. After all, seems that the Mac folks are prone to spend MORE time online uploading/downloading music and videos instead of my being normally doing with the rest of my (Win) computers, i.e. work on customer lists, correspondence, inventories, accounting, data bases, etc....
So, seems to me we do have a pb and Apple might just save a few $$$ on silly ads and get to work on com instead. if nothing else to avoid the appearance of further - admittedly rather funny - ad-spoofs!
So back to your further inquiry. I run a wireless network from a HughesNet satellite modem, thru a Linksys WRT54GL wireless router, into some nearby office LANed desktops and point of sale equipment, to another neighbouring facility via wireless bridge, and to my Mac laptop. Distance from the laptop to the router: 50 ft max.
It all works surprizingly very well: up to 200kbps up and 1000 kbps down (in prime time, 150 up and 600 down). OK, my set up looks complex and incurring LOTS of activity. Actually, online activity is quite minimal and well scheduled - right now I am the only machine on the network online. Otherwise, our office processes online money wiring for customers among other things.
I'll try your DNS server choice on the Mac settings first. Will report accordingly.
Thanks for everything!

Wireless internet access

I am trouble accessing internet automatically after changing network settings on my G4. I have to go through hardrive now. Can someone tell me if I understand how it works to access internet wirelessly for my Macbook.
I purchase a new Two wire Router and Modem for DSL cable from ATT. Does the new modem take the G4 out of the equation to access internet for the Macbook?
Thank you for time

Does the new modem take the G4 out of the equation to access internet for the Macbook?
No, it shouldn't, though you'll likely need to get rid of the old settings & put new in.
First power up the Modem, wait 5 Minutes, connect Router to Modem, power up Router, wait 3 minutes, power up Macbook.
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Reboot
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.

Failing to get Wireless Internet Access. Please Help!

Happy new year everyone! OK so here's my problem:
I'm trying to use the Airport connection with a linksys WRT54GS wireless router and I'm unable to access the internet. The Airport recognizes the wireless network, says its connected, but I still can't access the internet even after using a static IP address. When I go to Network Diagnostics and fill in the appropriate information, I get green status icons for all but 'Internet.' Even after running system update through a wired connection on the PBG4 thinking I may have had some outdated soft/firmware, I still couldn't connect to the internet. I've put more time into this than I should have at this point and am completely stumped as to how I can remedy this problem. If there's anyone out there that could help me out I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!
PowerBook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

if no one has any solutions, could someone please recommend a 3rd party wireless router that I may have better luck with? Thank you!

Security Update has destroyed my wireless Internet access

Hi,
I am reposting this as a separate question as no one has answered my post from 2 days ago and I am getting desperate.
Ever since I downloaded the latest Apple security update two days ago for my OS Tiger, my wireless connection won't work, I am using a separate wireless stick (Sitecom) as Airport won't get me onto channel 13 here in Europe. I know I am connected to the Linksys router here, as the software of my wireless stick tells me this, but my Mail and Safari now tell me I am not connected to the Internet.
I have checked everything, the wireless stick is at the top of the list of my network connections and the box beside it is checked, and the numbers in the Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the wireless stick are still 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220. So now I am using a network cable as a temporary measure but I can't live like this as the router with the cable is 100 feet away from where I am staying.
It must be something to do with the latest Security Update as I literally was using the wireless perfectly to download the Security Update, then I switched off my computer and switched it on again, and now my wireless connection won't work. What should I do? I tried duplicating the wireless stick connection and then deleting the original but that didn't work. I am afraid to remove the files in my Library as suggested on another thread because I have lots of wireless connections as I travel a lot and I can never replace them all. Help!

Hi,
well, I got it to work by following BDAqua's advice and adapting it for my external wireless stick - i.e. I went to System Preferences - Network - Show Network Port Configurations, and I highlighted my Sitecom wireless stick i.e. Ethernet Adaptor, and I then clicked Delete but I didn't pull the stick out. The listing for the Ethernet Adaptor then went to the bottom of the list but was still visible in pale grey with no checkmark in the box beside it. Then I went to the Keychain access but there was no password listed there for the stick so I didn't do anything there. Then I rebooted. Then I went back to Sys Pref - Network - Show Network Port Configs and then I rechecked the box beside Ethernet Adaptor and dragged it back to the top of the list. Then my Location was at Automatic, I am not sure if I made it go there or if it had automatically gone there - prior to this it was at a separate location I had made for my wireless stick, with the DNS Servers that BDAqua had given me in a prior thread. So now I am functioning on the Automatic Location, so what is happening is that it is taking a long time to find the Internet after rebooting and then it is not using the DNS Servers from the previous wireless stick location, but that DNS Server box is now blank. I have rebooted a couple of times and this system seems to be working for me so I will stick with it and just not turn off my computer very often. Whether or not the location I had made specifically for my wireless stick will ever work again I don't know and don't want to spend hours more agony trying to find out. So I am satisfied with this solution.
Thank you very much indeed, BDAqua, if you are in Berlin in the next 2 months I will buy you an evening full of beers as a thank you!

Is this the product I need to have wireless internet access??

My question is quite simple, but I've never owned a laptop before so this is new to me!
I have a MacBook and we have internet, but we'd like to be able to connect wirelessly so we don't have to sit at the desk all the time. (We have a Motorola SURFboard Cable Modem.) What product do I need to buy to do this?
Thanks so much!!!
Jessica

Jessica,
The cheapest way in is to buy the Airport Express.
All the base stations do the same basic wireless networking and then expand from there.
1. Airport Express plus Airtunes = $99
2. Airport Extreme = $179
3. Time Capsule plus internal Hard Disk = $299 or $499
