N8 and wireless router connectivity

I have a problem with my new N8.
If I use the N8 at home it interferes with my broadband wireless router (BT Homehub) resulting in my losing a wireless internet connection on my laptop.  The laptop tells me I have Limited Connectivity.
I must thenkeep my N8 turned off and restart the wireless router in order to regain an internet connection on my laptop.
Thanks

Which BT homehub do you have (there's been three)?
Have you been into the routers settings and tried changing the wireless channel?

  • Turned off power strip to DVR Box and Wireless Router...n​ow I don't have internet connection​..

    I went away this past weekend and turned off the power strip that my DVR box and wireless router are plugged into.  When I got home early this morning I powered them back on and  I did not have an internet connection anywhere in my home.  I restarted the router twice and still no connection.   My computer says that connection to my wireless is "very good" but I get  notice that computer "cannot display webpage" or "invalid web address".   I left for work and have not tried anything else to remedy this issue.  Ideas anyone?

    Is your TV Service and Phone service if you have it working as it should? What does the router indicate as far as status lights go?

  • Belkin wireless router connected but browser could not find the host server

    my new roommate has a belkin n wireless router connected to a cable modem which functions perfectly on her pc laptop. i am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to the router using her WEP password. this all works fine and my System Preferences/Network/Status shows that AirPort is connected with full strength, but i cannot load any web pages (i have not yet been able to load any pages at all using this router). the page load error reads "Firefox can't find the server at www.cnn.com" and "The browser could not find the host server for the provided address".
    I spoke with Belkin support and they say the router is functioning properly, that is a problem with my mac.
    When I go to Network Diagnostics, the status shows all green and says "This computer's Internet connection appears to be operating normally. Are you sure you want to use Network Diagnostics?
    Could this be a firewall issue? A couple people have suggested that, but I'm not sure how to fix that.
    I have tried rebooting the router and cable modem, rebooting the mac, etc.
    any ideas on what settings i may need to investigate??
    thank you!

    how do I know if the router has useful DNS servers? i am looking at the settings of the router on the pc that is online.
    Somewhere in the settings of the router should be the DNS servers that it is using. Since the router is offering via DHCP to do DNS translation for your Mac, it must have useful DNS servers listed.
    There are "public" DNS servers. I have no experience with it, but this Web page describes one from Google:
    http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/
    Supposedly Google has a DNS server at IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 that you might try. Since the DNS server setting on your Mac is grayed out, as a test you might try noting the setting in the "TCP/IP" tab of your AirPort connection item of the Network panel of System Preferences. Then switch from "Using DHCP" to "Manually", fill in the values you just noted, switch to the DNS tab and fill in Google's DNS addresses, and see if things work better.
    do you have any other suggestions of where to seek help???
    Perhaps a Belkin discussion group?

  • Trouble with Qwest DSL and wireless router

    Just got Qwest DSL yesterday. Connected the Actiontec M1000 modem directly to our IMac and things worked fine. Unfortunately, our office doesn't have a phone line and the permanent home of the modem is going to be elsewhere in the house. I tried to connect our D-Link wireless router WBR-2310 Rangebooster G to the Actiontec, phone jack--ethernet cable---actiontec---ethernet cable---d-link wan jack. Airport can "see" the wireless network we had setup before we switched to qwest dsl, but cannot connect to the internet.
    I'm assuming there is communication problem between the dsl modem and wireless router.
    How should my network settings be changed? Do I need to reconfigure the modem, or the wireless router, or both?

    {quote}
    Now, I must say that the 3mbps download speed I'm apparently paying for has never been achieved. The fastest I got was 1.4mbps when hardwired. Now with the wireless I'm only around 750 kbps. I'm only twenty feet away and one wall from the router. Any suggestions on increasing this performance?
    Very few sites can actually send you 3mb/s. You can test your connection here:
    http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
    or here:
    http://speedtest.net/
    If your speeds don't seem to be inline then you will have to deal with your broadband provider.
    At 54mb/s your wireless is not the bottleneck, the internet is.
    I'm getting 6mb DSL and it tests perfect, but I wanted the extra speed because I'm running 6 or 8 machines online at all times, and you usually get a faster upload speed with the deal. This can be very important for sharing files and sending emails with attachments, etc.

  • Connect to Airport Express and Wireless Router (Linksys) at the same time?

    I have a laptop that connects to a Linksys wireless G (WRT54G) router. I just got an Airport Express to play iTunes wirelessly over my stereo. Is there a way to connect to both the Linksys router and the Airport at the same time - i.e., connect to the internet as I was over the wireless router AND send music wirelessly from my laptop to my stereo using the Airport Express at the same time?

  • Officejet 6500 and wireless router not connecting

    I just purchased an Officejet 6500 and trouble trying to connect it to my wireless router.  Each time I try to connect the printer by wireless it locks up.  The power button is not lit, but the screen is lit with no text.  At this stage I cannot shut it down or get it operating again.  I'm running Vista Business 64-bit and the router is a 2wire 1800HG through AT&T.  It runs fine with a usb connection.
    Thanks in advance.  John
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I think you've just run into a known problem with some HP network printers with 2WIRE AT&T DSL routers.
    We've identified the problem and will deploy an update sometime in the future.  Until then, the work around is to assign a static IP address to the printer. Here's one way to do this:
    Unplug he telephone line from the 2WIRE router
    Turn the power off on the 2WIRE router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
    Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the 2WIRE device (Ethernet or Wi-Fi). The printer will not crash as long as the telephone line is disconnected from the 2WIRE device.
    From the Officejet's front panel, access the "Advanced Setup" menu under "Network"
    Select "IP Settings", acknowledge the warning and select "Manual IP Address"
    Select "IP Address" and change the last IP address group (octet) to something higher or lower. Specifically for your 2WIRE router, select 192.168.0.60.
    Press Ok and plug in the telephone line into the 2WIRE router.
    Steps 4, 5 and 6 can be done from the printer's internal web page (under the Network tab) and it might be easier than the front panel on the 6500.  To get to the internal web page, you browse to the printer's IP address which you can find by printing the Network Configuration.

  • Remote and Wireless Router

    Hello All,
    I installed remote on my iPhone yesterday, and today my wireless router doesn't work, it just seems not to work @ all. Probably just one those things but just want to throw it out there.

    Use an ethernet cable and connect the ATV to your router. Download Apple Remote for the iPhone. You will be able to control your ATV this way. You can pair any infrared remote to your ATV once connected, following the directives from Setup > remote.

  • Problem with Dell Printer and Wireless Router

    I have a new Linksys Wireless Router (3100) and it handles 3 laptops, PS3 fine.  But I have a Dell 715w network printer (also new).  I have it set up on the network, and it works fine upon setup.  The problem is the printer does not work all the time.  Sometimes I can get an error message, sometimes it says it is busy, and other times it literally takes a long time to load and then does not print.  I usually can get it to work again by rebooting and turning off the router and printer and laptops, but this hit or miss is very annoying and I never know when it will do this again, usually after a week or two. I wonder if the problem is that the 3 laptops all have different OS - XP, Vista and Windows 7.  Dell tech support won't help as they say they don't support routers, but I am wondering whether the problem is ina s etting or if this printer is malfunctioning.  any help would be appreciated

    Yes. You have to key-in the IP address to the printer.
    Basically, if the printer is set to obtain IP address from the router, it will be provided with a random IP or any IP available for the next device that will connect, on this issue, your printer. So there's no permanent IP address for the printer, making it a little hard to find at times. Compare it with the a static IP, your computer can easily map it since it doesn't change.

  • Why is wireless router connectivity is different with Powerbook than iMac?

    I had problems with my 10.2 on the G3 450 iMac (that caused me to go to 10.3 about 2 weeks ago), my trusty old Buffalo router fried its WAN port. I replaced it with a Netgear unit, then a Linksys unit, now I'm back to Buffalo. The ongoing problem is that the laptop has a heck of a time connecting to the internet - while the iMac (via ethernet) has no problems whatsoever. It doess/did this with every manufacturer of routers I tried (since first I thought it may be a Netgear incompatibility issue).
    Strange part about the problems: Only initially does it spend 20+ seconds (close to Safari/Firefox timeout) "looking for" the host. Once it has found it, if you click on any links within the same host, it's lightning-fast. Just the initial callup seems to be inordinately difficult. I was hoping new firmware for the wireless modem, 10.4, the latest Airport update etc would alleviate the situation - no such luck. It USED to work fine on the old wireless router ... Also, it does this "looking for" business whether I have security enabled or not (I usually run 128bit encoding).
    I don't really mind waiting for a few seconds for a site to load, but when you're talking about something like Yahoo or ESPN, all these independent advertising servers have to be contacted to load the page and - you guessed it - it's a 20+ second delay for each one...
    I've rebooted the router and the laptop many times; I doubt it's the cable modem as the Ethernet on the iMac comes from the same router an doesn't have a problem at all. Any chance it's a setting of some sort in the preferneces panels?
    The problem appeared initially with the Netgear router. The whole reason I went back to Buffalo is that I never had any issues in the 4 years I owned the previous one (until the WAN port went out). I also tried a Linksys router but admittedly didn't spend a lot of time with it as the delay problem appeared right from the start.
    As far as 3rd party hardware is concerned, I wouldn't mind just getting an Apple Airport station at this time, but really don't want to spend the $ if it's an issue with either the laptop or its Airport card. I guess I could get one here at the local Apple store and bring it back if it doesn't work any differently (at least then I'd know it's either a laptop or a Comcast Cable-issue...).
    System setup:
    Desktop: G3 "Graphite" iMac / slot-loading / 400Mhz / 640MB RAM / 10.3.9
    Laptop: 15" G4 Aluninium Powerbook / 1.25Ghz / 1GB RAM / 10.4.6
    Wireless: Buffalo AirStation Turbo G WHR-HP-G54 (wireless to laptop / ethernet to iMac).
    Powerbook 15/1.25GHz/1GBRAM   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    It sounds as though you're having a problem with DNS lookups. Try this, type into Terminal (Applications > Utilities)…
    sudo lookupd -flushcache
    It will subsequently ask you for your administrator password. Type it in and then wait for the prompt to return. Do not do anything before then. Now, restart and see if things are any better.

  • Infinity and wireless router issues

    Hi Folks,
    Thanks for taking the time to read this, if anyone has any similar issues or resolutions to the situation feel free to chip in..
    We had Infinity installed a while back and noticed some intermittent connection problems, the issue was that wireless connections would suddenly loose the gateway and go offline but unusually it was always fixed by simply restarting the network adapter on the client machine, the wireless signals were always near full strength.
    Later on I noticed that although the clients seemed to loose connection it actually appears to loose DNS and keeps existing connections live, example below, meaning that if you had fired up a streaming connection before the 'drop' it would continue to stream to the client perfectly although the client could not access any new connections(online).
    The setup we were given on installation consisted of an Infinity wired(only) box that connects to our old wireless router which appears to be acting as a wireless bridge to the Infinity box.
    Having been a BBI Tech for a well known ISP Customer Service Centre, using a process of elimination I am guessing that there is an issue between the old router and the new Infinity router that is causing conflicts to crop up.
    **Example** A friend working out of the country was using a VNC client to logon to my machine as he couldn't access our DB servers from his location, he became confused when he was using my desktop and suddenly he lost online capability.... even though he was remotely logged into my machine to witness it he couldnt open any websites or connect to any DB's.
    I would appreciate any input as im thinking that the best way to fix this would be to buy a new Infinity capable modem with wireless built in, but am reluctant to do so as the standard kit should work after being setup by the engineer..
    In summary:-
    wireless drops dns with signal full, (not a signal issue)
    current connections stay open, (again not a signal issue or problem with the broadband)
    cannot open any new connections, (not sure if this is dns based as cant even connect to direct ip's)
    the clients have all been fine on other wireless networks, (not just tested on an individual, faulty adapter)
    renewing the connection from the client fixes the issue, (something to do with lease times or bad routing maybe?)
    The wireless router is one of the black homehubs.
    Any help appreciated as im having to write this post using my 3G connection to ensure i dont get dropped.
    Thanks
    Mike

    This is the setup left by the engineer...

  • Suggestions for Cable Modem and Wireless Router

    Hey everyone!
    I have the new iMac and would like to have a faster wireless router. Currently using an old D-Link Wireless G router and would like something like the Time Capsule (as it has Airport Extreme in it) or Netgear Rangemax Dual Band Wirless-N Gigabit Router. My problem is, my Internet is through my cable company, so it comes into the house as a cable connection. It appears that these two combos would still require the use of a cable modem.
    Any suggestions to keep the equipment down to one piece? If not, any suggestions for a cable modem so I can return this old one to the cable company?
    What would be the best/quickest wireless router?
    Thanks for your help!
    Message was edited by: saalbunch

    Go to your ISP's web site and do a search from your ISP for compatible cable modems. Then buy the capable modem your ISP says that is comp[atible. On the new cable modem find the Serial number & MAC address, make then call your ISP tech help desk and tell them the new modem you got and he/she will ask you that information. When the ISP tech says they can see/ping that new cable modem then it will work. Then connect a new cheaper Airport Extreme and any external USB2 hard drive to connect to that new Airport Extreme. I say this because Apple put out and Update a little while ago that will allow an external connected to an Extreme as a Time Machine disk.
    PS: Remember the old trick of checking you Ethernet cables. I can't count how times I have seen professionals install all new high speed switches, routers, etc. and wonder why no speed is seen. Then after numerous trouble shooting they discover they used the old 10 Base T cables and just changing the cable solved their problem.
    Just make sure you do this one at a time starting with getting the ISP compatible cable modems list to know what cable modem you can buy (to save that monthly ISP rental fee). Then you can get the going as long as so speak with your ISP tech to give them that new cable modem Serial number and MAC address so they can register it with their servers.
    This will be to easy as long as you do things in step.

  • Air Port and Wireless Router

    I have recently purchased a wireless router from netgear (model # wpn824) and I am unable to connect to it wirelessly. I can connect if I'm plugged directly into the router, but not using air port. Actually, I'm not able to open up my web browser (I get the message "server not found") even if my air port icon is on and it seems as if I'm actually connected to the network. There is another computer in my household (a PC) and usually it has no problem picking up the network and getting online. Help?

    Ensure that the RangeMax feature is disabled on the Netgear. This is not part of the wireless standard and therefore not supported by Apple.
    Ensure that the DHCP server is enabled on the Netgear.
    Ensure that MAC address filtering is disabled on the Netgear.
