I am having trouble connecting my new apple tv to my wireless network

I am running a Linksys wireless - N ADSL2+ Gateway attached to a PC running Vista and the apple tv detects my home network but will not accept any password. I have tried turning off all security but end up with the same result, although it does bypass the password screen. I end up with -6 error telling me to check settings.....can someone please give me some guidance?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Are you entering the password correctly, it will be case sensitive. Have you tried using another wifi channel.

    It is not properly connected to the network.
    Make sure location is set correctly
    DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
    Try ethernet
    Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

  • I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via wireless router. It says it is connected, but when I try to open email, no connection is found. This also occurs for Safari and Facebook. I am connected by Charter Cable.

    I am having trouble connecting to my in-home internet via my wireless router. The IPad says I'm connected to the router, but I am unable to receive email, Facebook and Safari. I run through Charter Cable.  This only occurs on my IPad. My desktop works fine.

    Although it may ultimately be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and start over with a new configution, we can first try to see if things will work with the existing settings on the device.
    Push the reset button (if present) on the cable modem
    Power off the modem by pulling the power cable
    Remove the internal battery from the modem (if easily accessible)
    Power off the AirPort Extreme and every other device on the network....order is not important
    Wait at least 20 minutes....longer is better
    Re-install the battery in the modem if it was removed previously
    Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
    Power up the modem and let it run 4-5 minutes buy itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run 4-5 minutes
    Then power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart
    Check for a good Internet connection on the network with all devices
    If still no luck, you will need to perfom a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
    Pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it another 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back in to the AirPort Extreme
    Release the reset button and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Then open AirPort Utility end reconfigure the AirPort Express again.

  • Im having trouble connecting to my old HP 5MP on small network

    Im having trouble connecting to my old (but still a great printer) HP 5MP which is connected (be causes it has no ethernet built in) via an Ansante eternet/localtalk bridge to the ethernet network and ti my old G4 Power PC Quicksilver (using 10.4.11). That is shared both by ethernet and (via my vodafone wireless router to my 21" iMac Macbook Pro. When I bought my new iMac and MBP I kept my old G4 so I could still use by SCSI Scanmaker E3+ scanner and my non-USB, non ethernet printer by sharing it from the G4. Worked OK but now not so over either wi-fi or ethernet. I just updated to Lion on the iMac and am on Snow Leopard on the MBP and they say they can't find suitable drivers. My work around has been to print to "Mail pdf" to myself and pick it up on the G4 and print from there direct to the 5MP. But now I can't even connect to the 5MP from there since downloading a software update which was something about enhancements to Airport.
    Have tried resetting tie printing system, repairing disc permissions and rebuilding the drive using diskwarrior on t he G4 but now I can't get any mac to see and add the 5MP. My old Epson Photo stylus 1200 works OK on USB but I need my 5MP tp work. Can you help on that please?

    Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
    Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.

  • 3510 all in one having trouble connecting to new wireless network

    Ok - just to update, at least the drivers are downloadable now ... I'll see if that resolves my issue. 

    Hi guys.  I just switched to a new modem through my ISP (Rogers) that has a built in router and a much faster connection.  (Previously, this 3510 printer was working just fine over my network with a modem and a router that was separate.)  My computer is hooked into the internet via a direct cable and everyone else in the household connects via wireless, which has been set up and works well.  For some reason though, my 3510 refuses to play nice with the modem and connect to the network.   I've tried plugging it in via usb cable, then going into the settings and clicking on the "convert a usb connected printer to wireless" option.  I hit "yes, access the computer or router", then next, it finds my wireless network with no trouble and I type in the required password and "next" - it then takes a while to go through it's "setting up printer on network" .... and then after a while, I get a "MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router" error.  There IS no MAC filtering.  I have "allow all" set on the router.  This shouldn't be an issue.   Has anyone else had this problem?  Is it just a thing with the newer modem/router combos and these older HP printers?  I tried to update the driver, but your website doesn't seem to be letting folks do that at the moment (some error you're fixing, it says?). If you have any suggestions on how I could get past this problem, I'd really appreciate it.  It's driving me NUTS.  Thanks!  All the best, -- Jodi

  • Having Trouble Connecting to new wireless router...

    My family just purchased a wireless router. It is a D-Link. Previous to this, I had always used an ethernet cord to get online as I am right now. The router is all set up and I was using the wireless end of it for awhile with no problem until my dad secured it and added a password. I wrote down this password and have been trying to reaccess the wireless internet and it just keeps telling me that the password is incorrect when I know its not because I'm sitting here looking at it on our dells computer screen.
    I didn't know if there was something that I needed to do to my macbook that i havent since I have always used an ethernet cable...but I don't know what that would be since I have been to other individuals houses and linked up to their wireless glitch free. The router came with a cd. I opened this cd on my macbook, and the contents of it weren't even compatable with my mac, other than the manual which was not helpful either.
    This router is SUSPOSE to be for Mac users, and it worked before the password was set so I am just at a loss.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jacquie,
    First: are you sure you've selected the right security protocol when OS X asks you for the network password? There's a dropdown menu with options such as "WEP, WPA," etc. You'll need to select the right one for your network. If you pick the wrong one and enter the password correctly, you will still get a "bad password" error.
    Second: Are you sure your router is not MAC-locked? This has nothing to do with Macintosh computers. a MAC address is something every wireless card in every PC has. It's a unique address that is assigned to your computer. If your router is MAC-locked, that means it's set to ONLY allow certain addresses to connect. You'll need to disable the MAC-lock or enter your MAC-address into the "approved" list in the router's settings page.
    Third: The problem is NOT your Mac. As you said, it's worked just fine on other wireless networks. The problem lies absolutely, completely, without question in the router settings. Try the two things above and see if that solves it. If not, come back and we'll keep going.

  • Having trouble connecting to a mac configured as a wireless AP

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble setting up my wireless network.
    I have,
    1. Macbook connected to internet through a router (via Ethernet), and configured to work as a wireless AP under the sharing panel in System Preference (internet sharing enabled)
    2. Airport Express configured to join my existing wireless network
    3. Xbox 360 connected to the Airport Express via Ethernet
    My Macbook and Airport Express is on the same wireless network, and I can see the AE from my macbook and stream music through airtunes without a problem.
    But I can't go on xbox live from my xbox, getting "xbox cannot obtain a valid IP" error.
    Is it possible to set it up like this?
    any help would be much appreciated.

    rickmasta, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Sorry but that will not work. When the AirPort Express (AX) is connected as a wireless client to the network provided by the MacBook the AX's Ethernet port is disabled.
    To make this work you would need to create the wireless network with another AX, an AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS), or a Time Capsule. Then you would configure that device and your current AX to work together to wirelessly extend the network. Then the AX's Ethernet port would be active.

  • I am having trouble connecting a new iPad to wifi, any tips?

    Need help connecting new iPad to wifi!  All my other stuff on my wifi has been a snap to connect

    Without a little more information as to what you may have already tried it is a little difficult to point you in the right direction. Try rebooting your router - unplug it from the power source and then plug it in again. If that doesn't do it, start with these help articles or post back with more specific information - details - what you have tried .....

  • Having trouble connecting my new Wii to the internet via FIOS

    any one have same issue?  I put in the key but it won't connect

    Make sure you wep wireless authentication key is the fist key. I made that mistake with my 360. I set the encryption key to slot 3 and it could only look for it on key 1
    WBuck wrote: 
    Have you enabled the Wireless MAC Authentication in Advanced Security Settings? If so, you will need to add the Wii to access list. No other suggestions come to mind. Good luck.
     You would only need to do that if you enabled the wireless to do that. by default it is turned off.

  • I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server.

    I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
    Thank you!

    Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
    I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.
