No wifi discovery w/ my 3G

iPhone 3G w/ 2.0.2 software, itunes 8, OS 10.5.4, airport extreme wifi w/ SSID name viewable and WPA2 security
I've upgraded from old iPhone to iPhone 3G and after iTunes sync the new iPhone won't show available wifi networks like my home network.
I have:
-manually entered my SSID name & password into my iPhone - iPhone says cannot find network...
-I have reset network settings on iPhone
-performed an iPhone restore
-went to other places where wifi hot spots are present - but iPhone is not discovering and displaying the available networks
My iPhone does have a WiFi address in the iPhone netwrok settings
Can someone please help?
THANKS!

Pop wifi off, then back on again. See if that helps.
Just use the wifi slider.
Go in and make sure Ask to Join is on.
Delete your wifi that is giving you problems and start over. Let it find your wifi first, and then all you have to enter is the wifi password. Make sure you type that right (case sensitive etc).

  • HP 1102w WiFi Discovery Problem

    Hi,
    I am using windows 7 (and 8) and i can normally connect to my HP 1102w (Printer is set on Ad-Hoc). 
    However, I have an Android tablet (galaxy tab 7.7 p6800) with Android 4.1. This tablet and all other Android smartphones and tablets cann't detect my printer's wifi. It shows nothing!
    But it wasn't like this for the first year, I don't know what went wrong, but now no phone or tablet can detect the wifi, only pc does.
    Can somebody suggest something?

    Hi smahdis,
    Welcome back to the HP Support forums, it's been a while since you last posted. I understand that your mobile devices are unable to detect your Laserjet P1102w but your computer can detect it and print to it.
    Let's make sure the printer is connected to your wireless network. I have included a document on how to connect the printer to your wireless network. It has a section if you have already installed the full feature driver for your printer onto your computer using a USB cable. Once you have reconnected the printer to your wireless network  let's also make sure that you have the latest firmware installed.  I have included a document on how to do the firmware update.
    That should allow your mobile devices to detect the printer when they are connected to the same wireless network that the printer is connected to.

  • WiFi Discovery!!!

    Hi! Anyone know this?
    OK, first open Safari on the Touch in an area you know has FREE WiFi.
    Next, surf to a website you like, with loads of pages on it - say BBC News.
    Next, open a new page in Safari and go to another cool site you like with lots of pages, like MacRumours.
    So, now you have 2 pages (or more if you like) open at the same time in Safari on the Touch.
    TURN OFF THE TOUCH.
    DO NOT CLOSE YOUR WEB PAGES.
    JUST TURN IT OFF.
    Now, take a walk to a place you know has WiFi but it isn't free.
    Turn on the Touch. Open Safari. Safari reboots with your old pages open. It connects to the WiFi area. The first page goes from, say the BBC site mentioned above, to the WiFi Log-in or Details page asking you for your passwords etc to use the PAID WiFi.
    IGNORE THAT PAGE.
    Go to the other page you left open, at MacRumours, and......
    BINGO!!!! You can now surf ALL the MacRumours site WITHOUT PAYING for the WiFi in the PAID area you are now in!!!!!
    To summarise. Just open loads of websites in your free area, each on a new page in Safari, then go to a pay area, and you can still access these sites and all their pages.
    Am I the only person who knows this? I suspect not. But isn't it a bit weird? It's like you are carrying an area of free WiFi, containing a website for each new page, around in your Touch!!!!
    Try it. Let me know if it worked for you.

    Oh great! Well, we at least know one bug fix they'll be putting into 1.1.5 or 2.0 (whichever comes first)

  • HT4097 Terms and Conditions button will not respond after recovery and restore of ipad

    I have recovered and restored my ipad, set up wifi, discovery etc, moved to Terms and Conditions and can get no further.  Agree and disagree buttons appear but will not function.  I can go back so it isnt a frozen screen.  I have scrolled through all T&Cs and even emailed them.  Still stumped.  PLease Heeeellllllpppppp!!!

    Thanks for the suggestion.  Had tried that, and just did again.  Still the same.  Have tried plugging it in to itunes as suggested elsewhere - Agree button still will not respond.  Went on to itunes to download an app - wasnt asked to agree to conditions.  I just don't get it......

  • HP P1102w - won't stay on, firmware keeps rebooting ?

    Just picked up a new HP P1102w to finally replace my old trusty HP Laserjet 4p.
    Unpacked printer, installed via USB on Windows XP, and printed test pages, and config/status pages.
    Next, setup the WiFi config, and again printed test pages, and config/status pages.
    However - the printer seems very flakey now - just sitting there...
    The power/trouble lights alternating on/off, then all off -
    then green on, and blue blinking, and then on solid.... until they all go off again - in 15 secs.
    The printer is just sitting there -
    repeating this firmware reboot,  WiFi discovery, connect,  - then all off again - firmware reboot -
    Formatter - W4378e5
    Firmware - 20130213
    IO timeout = 120 secs
    Jam recov = off
    Sleep = 15 mins.
    Auto Off = never

    Hi ps56k,
    I see that the printer keeps doing a firmware reboot.
    I will be happy to help you.
    Disconnect the USB cable if it is still connected.
    I would do a power reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    With the printer still turned on, disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer.
    Then disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet.
    Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cable back to the wall outlet first, then the back of the printer and power it on again.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
    Try holding down the (X) Cancel button and the Power button at the same time. 
    Turn the printer on again to see if that will make a difference.
    There is a newer firmware version: 2013-07-26 , Version20130703, 5.13M. But with the printer in this error state it probably won't update at this time. HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer Drivers.
    Select your operating system, click next, click the link for firmware.
    Restore the defaults on the printer by turning the printer off, hold down the x and wireless button.
    Turn the printer back on and when the printer stops making noise release the two buttons.
    See if that will take it out of initialization.
    Here is a document on blinking lights.
    Blinking Lights.
    Please let me know the results.

  • Slow discovery of wifi networks

    Any suggestions on how to improve the discovery speed of known wifi networks? 
    I usually use a wired connection but when I do use wifi it can take 10+ minutes for my routers SSID to appear in the list of available networks. Other weaker nearby networks appear almost instantly but mine takes ages. There's no channel conflicts or obvious sign of interference issues and my iPhone, printer and work laptop can discover and join the network almost instantly.
    I've tried deleting & re-adding the network dozens of times with no obvious effect on discovery speed.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I changed my router from channel 11 to auto and it's now working fine.
    There was no sign of any interference on 11 and indeed all the other wifi devices could use it without problems & the macbook itself would eventually connect.
    But now that it's auto it connects almost instantly.

  • ITunes 11 Stops Responding to Bonjour Discovery Multicast Broadcasts, Why?  This stops the the Apple TV 3 from being able to start a new stream from the home share and the iPad remote app can no longer see the home share too.

    I'm having an issue where my Apple TV 3 and all our iPads periodically seem to loose connectivity to an iTunes home share on a Windows 7 PC.  Using a network protocol analyser on the PC I have identified that the point of failure corresponds to the ATV3 sending a bonjour discovery request and getting no reply from iTunes.  Why the ATV3 'forgets' where the home share is is possibly another issue but the root cause of the failure is that iTunes, or more specifically the mDNSResponder service, is not responding to the UDP multicast port 5353 broadcast discovery packet sent by the ATV3 or iPad.  The mDNSResponder service does start responding again after iTunes is restarted thus making the home share accessible once more, however, this frequent drop out is unacceptable and often happens after only a single TV show has been watched from the home share making the solution unworkable for a family, we simply cannot be restarting iTunes constantly it ruins the user experience completely!
    The nature of this failure indicates that the ATV3, the iPads, the host PC and network are all working correctly and the point of failure here is the lack of response to the bonjour discovery protocol with the net result of either a spinning 'connecting to home share' message or the home share just disappearing from the computers section.
    If there is a configuration fix for this please let me know as I haven't located a fix!  Otherwise this seems very much to be a code flaw in iTunes 11 or the mDNSResponder and I would appreciate some input from Apple!  Going on other questions in these forums it would seem the problem is not limited to Windows PCs but also Macs too.  NB: This is not a TCP issue, when the ATV3 or iPad knows the IP of the iTunes server all works flawlessly, it just periodically they seem to refresh the list of home shares and at this point they loose the information about the home share they have just been using because of the non-response to the UDP multicast discovery broadcast packet, that is arriving at the host PC and isn't being blocked by the firewall.
    Many Thanks!

    In my case there was no import from a former mac.
    My problem (at least mine) is that no app that offers media sharing works properly. Neither itunes home sharing nor AirVideo nor EyeTV sharing.
    So I'm pretty sure that this is network issue.
    Adding another user on my mac and sharing a new library works not also. But sharing from another laptop in my WiFi works. So this has to be a network issue on my mac, not only my user, but an issue of the whole system.
    But I'm not willing to reinstall MacOS X for that if I don't have to.

  • Connection timeout on hotel wifi - only with MacBook8.1 (810.9)  configd plug-in:8.1 (810.9)

    I'm having a "Connection Timeout" issue while trying to connect to my hotel's WIFI.
    I bought an ex-lease refurbished white MacBook (Build 12E55 - 2.4GHz, the last 2010 model I think) a couple of weeks ago. I bought it so I could use it while on vacation in Bali, Indonesia. I've got OS X 10..8.4 installed. 
    At home in Australia, this MacBook connected to my home WIFI with absolutely no issues at all.
    Now that I'm in Bali, I'm surprised to find that every time I try to connect to the WIFI at the hotel (where I'm staying for a whole month), I get a "Connection Timeout" error. I'm surprised because my iPhone connects to the hotel WIFI with no problem at all, as does our two iPads and the Android phones that belong to other family members. It's only my MacBook that struggles, even though I get even better signal strength indicated on my MacBook compared to my other devices.
    I can connect my MacBook to my iPhone hotspot fine, though I'd prefer to use the free hotel WIFI over my very small 3G data allowance.
    So the problem isn't that my MacBook can't connect to any WIFI, because it did at home and it still can to my iPhone hotspot.
    And the problem isn't with the router, because all other devices work flawlessly.
    I've trawled many forums and articles trying to find a solution. Here's everything I've tried already, that I can remember. (Not in this order and not all at once.)
    Rebooted MacBook (duh)
    Sitting directly under the WIFI router. (It's not a signal strength issue.)
    Set up new Network > Location. Deleted Ethernet and Bluetooth PAN so it's just WIFI in the list.
    Renewed DHCP Lease countless times.
    Tried manual TCP/IP variations. It doesn't help that I'm not sure what to put in the IPv4 Address field. I do know the Subnet Mask and Router IP from looking at my iPhone network info.
    Tried using my MAC address as the DHCP Client ID. Also tried just using "1" or leaving it blank.
    I don't know what an IPv6 is either.
    Tried BootP and completely Manual setups but not really sure of the correct settings to try.
    Tried using the DNS servers that I found on my iPhone network info for the hotel WIFI. (One of them is 8.8.8.8 which I think is Google's DNS thing?)
    Tried checking Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP Mode, since it was suggested as part of a solution in a forum thread.
    Tried changing the MTU to a couple of other settings from an article I read. I think one was around 1453 and the other was 1494 or something close to that.
    Tried resetting PRAM
    Tried resetting SMC
    Tried a variation on resetting SMC that involved pressing down the normal keys plus one extra, for 10 secs, since it worked for someone who was told to do that by an Apple Care person. (He didn't know why it worked and other forum posters thought it was supposed to have been a SMC reset.)
    Checked the Network> Wi-Fi in System Information to see if the Channel is compatible. The router uses Channel 1 and my MacBook is capable of using Channel 1.
    Checked my country profile. It's X1. I have no idea if that's good. All I know is that I'm in Indonesia not Australia and I'm having WIFI issues with this hotel network.
    Checked the PHY Mode. Supported are 802.11 a/b/g/n. The hotel router uses 802.11n.
    Made sure I was using WPA2 Personal.
    Tried deleting all WIFI-related passwords in Keychain.
    Tried deleting all Network-related preference files.
    Tried removing all LaunchDaemons and LaunchAgents.
    It's not a "lost WIFI connection when waking from sleep" issue but I tried turning off sleep anyway.
    My husband even had the nerve to unplug the hotel router (small hotel, we're the only guests at the moment) for 10 minutes hoping it will reboot. But I don't know if that's the actual modem or just a WIFI repeater thing (sorry, can't remember the right terms). It didn't work anyway.
    I've run out of options, other than just sucking it up and getting a big 3G data allowance since I'm here for a month.
    If there is anything else I can try - perhaps working out how to set up my Network manually properly, please help me out. Here is everything in System Information that might help. I'll happily provide any other info.

    Sorry. The topic title got mucked up when I tried to paste in my System Information. And I can't paste it in using my iPhone without it going haywire. I can provide any details you need.

  • Looking for a wifi analysis app

  • Macbook pro retina (1 month old) can no longer connect to Wifi

    First of all I love my new mac, had no problems with it so far, and it's more than adequate for my requirements. However came to connect to my Mum's home network today (my iPhone and her windows desktop are connected right now so I know there's no problem with the ISP) and it won't connect, even though I've typed and re-typed the password a million times over. Was thinking initially she's changed the password without telling me, but I know that can't be the case because a) she's a technophobe and b) my iPhone wouldn't automatically connect (it was 3 months since the last time I was over). Then what struck me is last night I had similar issues round a friend's house where I've never connected before, but then so did he with his Macbook Pro (3 years old). However we reset the router and went to bed and this morning his worked fine; mine still nothing. The last time I succesfully connected to a network was on Friday, on the train down here, when I was tethering my iPhone's 3g connection. Could this be something to do with it? I've tried running network diagnostics several times but it never gets to the second stage as it can't connect to this network, which considering I'm using right now, I can assure you is running perfectly smoothly. The main error message I seem to be receiving both today and yesterday is 'connection timeout'. Is there a possibility I have somehow disabled my wifi connectivity? I can't seem to see where though. Having just purchased the mac I would've of course contacted applecare, but rather frustatingly they're closed on Sunday's and with a 3000 word report on HR Management that I need to finish today I can't afford to wait until 8am tomorrow, and I'd really appreciate some help beforehand so I don't have to complete my work on this ancient, virus-riddled pc!!
    Many Thanks Folks!
    Ryan, Norwich, UK

    By Jove, after a couple of hours of stress I think I've just cracked it; I went onto System Preferences> Network> Advanced and then simply deleted a couple of networks I've connected to only once but won't need again and then it seemed to do to the trick. So it looks like you can only store upto 10 networks; I'm astonished it doesn't appear to say this anywhere in the manual!? Maybe it's too obvious and I'm an idiot for not already possessing this knowledge but come on, considering the box 'remember this network' is automatically ticked, surely this is a problem that your average user is going to experience rather frequently. How hard would it be for Apple to introduce an error message along the lines of 'maximum number of saved networks exceeded... Please delete one or more saved networks...'!? As for the applecare centre being closed, it would've been really useful if the sales rep could've mentioned this simple fix; It would have taken all of 10 seconds and would've saved me a lot of time and frustration.
    It would be nice if this discovery helps others, but perhaps I should really be apologising for stating common knowledge. Well I guess the lesson here is what I already knew; the more you experiment with OS X the more you learn. Thanks to anyone who may have helped, back to the work now ....

  • HP Envy 120 goes offline for no known reason, WiFi connection appears good

    HP Envy 120 installed on WiFi network with Linksys EA-6500 router / WPA-PSK, working fine for several months.
    Now, I can print a few pages, but then the I get a "printer offline" message even though it is still connected.
    I verified IP address (fixed) and verified that I have the latest drivers via HP Update on the PC and automatic updates directly on the printer.
    When this problem happens, I have found that by turning WiFi off, then on again, printing resumes for a while.
    I have verified that the auto-off setting is OFF.
    Athe configuration tests come up clean. Signal strength is 5 and I have no reason to suspect that is an issue. I am not sure this is relevant, but the "disconnect count" shows 5 in the past 24 hours, with 612 total.
    Sofware environment is Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell XPS-8500, but no reason to suspect this setup as the previous Envy 112 worked flawlessly before it was moved elsewhere.

    Looks like you have done item 2, but you need to verify item 1.
    These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and make your router secure and hack proof.
    1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual). 
        This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers.  Verify your DHCP range and change this
        first if needed.
    2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled.  Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the  
        printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click  Settings Tab/Auto Off.  Or use the Printer
        Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS). 
    In the router:  (Refer to your router manual for information)
    3. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest. 
    4. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router. 
    5. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode. 
    6. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security.  Nobody can hack your
        system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web). 
    7. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
        they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks. 
    8. Save all settings.  Power off both, wait 2 mins.  Power on router wait 2 mins. 
    9. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router. 
    Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?
    Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Center/Advanced sharing settings.
    Under Home or Work (current profile) / Network Discovery.
    Select "Turn on network discovery" and save changes.

  • MacBook Air - Cannot connect to Ethernet Computers on WiFi Network

    I just bought a new MacBook Air (11 inch) less than a week ago. Love it, its great. I am however having an issue with connecting it to computers on the same network, but only if those computers are connected to the network via ethernet (while the Air is on wifi).
    I have an older MacBook (2.2Ghz running 10.7.2 also) with no issues connecting to other computers over the wifi if they are on ethernet. My old MacBook and the Air can also communicate no problem over wifi, but if I connect my old MacBook to the ethernet connection I cannot ping it from the Air.
    The reason why this is important is because I am trying to hook the Air up to a buffallo linkstation to setup TimeMachine like I have it set up on my old MacBook.
    I am using a Buffallo WZR2-G300N Router as my gateway and access point (I also have a D-Link switch, but I have by-passed that to troubleshoot the issue). Firmware is up to date.
    The Air also has no problem connecting to the internets.
    Any ideas oh Apple Support Community?? Many thanks in advance.

    Try using Finder > Go > Connect to Server > smb://ipaddress. If you can connect this way, then good. I'll have more to say later. Just try to get this working for now.
    Before trying to connect:
    On the XP machine.
    1. Right-click on a folder to share (e.g., My Documents), chose Sharing, and select both Sharing Options.
    2. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
    See how this part goes. I can't remember where some things are in XP, but you may have to enable Network Discovery somewhere.
    On the Vista machine.
    1. Go > Computer > Users > User; right click on the User folder, and choose the settings that give Everyone—both Read/Write permissions.
    2. Go Control Panel > Network and Sharing Options > Turn on network discovery, Turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing , and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on).
    2. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
    See how this part goes too. I can't remember some of the detail in Vista.
    On the Sno machine,
    1. Go System Preferences > Sharing > Check File sharing > Go Options > Enable SMB sharing.
    2. Go System Preferences > Network > Select Airport or Ethernet depending on what you are going to be using. I am assuming you will be using wireless below. Let me know if not true.
    3. Having selected Airport, select ask to join new networks and show Airport status in menu bar.
    4. Click advanced > click remember networks this computer has joined > Click Wins > Enter the ip address of your Win7 machine in the WINS server box > Enter the Win7's workgroup name in the workbook box unless it already is there (look in the drop down menu too). In all likelihood the name is workgroup, but check on the Win7 machine.
    5. Restart

  • Airport wifi problems with uverse and gigabit switch resolved

    I think there is a bug in airport firmware 7.6 with how spanning tree works in addition to problems with the Uverse router. Having an Airport with a uverse 2wire 3801 and gigabit switch will not work. Putting the extreme in NAT mode with DMZ plus behind the uverse resolved the problem.
    Network configuration:
    Uverse 2wire 3801 router
        3801 provides prioritization for upstream traffic so skype and VoIP work better when doing a lot of stuff on Internet
    Airport extreme firmware 7.6
    two airport express 802.11n hardwired to extreme. Set up in bridge mode. All access points have same SSID "create a network" to enable roaming. Ignore anything to do with extending a network.  firmware 7.6
    two gigabit switches
        Netgear GS608 - 8 port gigabit switch
        Trendnet TEG-S80g - 8 port gigabit switch
        100BT 5 port switch - did not figure into problem
    Three Uverse set top boxes wired on Ethernet. They have to be wire directly to the 2wire box to work correctly. See: http://forums.att.com/t5/Features-and-How-To/At-amp-t-U-Verse-modem-setup-Airpor t-Extreme/td-p/2300785
    However, you need to be careful to place your own PCs and other internet devices on the network created by your gear (airport extreme in your case), but keep AT&T's set top boxes for the IPTV services IN FRONT of your own router - so they remain on AT&T's provided network.
    So it would work like this ...
    Network 1: 2wire RG (4 lan ports) ->  Any Set tops, and to the WAN port on your AirportExtreme
    Network 2: Airport Extreme LAN ports -> to any computers or internet devices (but not AT&T set top boxes).
    The RG prioritizes the traffic for your Uverse Voice and your Uverse TV ahead of internet data traffic, as it rationalizes data heading out of your home.  If you place your own equipment in that equation (like putting AT&T set top boxes behind your Airport Extreme) the performance and function of your AT&T set top boxes could really flake out on you.
    Symptom:
        Everything would be working fine, then intermittently all my wifi access points would stop working. ~6,000 ms latency, dropped packets. Ethernet worked fine. Here is an example of my macbook pinging the extreme when associated with the extreme over wifi with a strong signal.

    64 bytes from 192.168.1.64: icmp_seq=36 ttl=255 time=39.828 ms
    Root cause:
        It looks like the 2wire 2801 router has a problem with spanning tree when interoperating with gigabit switches and airports. There is interplay with the airport.
    I did not have this problem until the 7.6 airport firmware. I had been using the Netgear hub for about a year with the extreme in bridge mode. I added the Trendnet hub and upgraded airport firmware at the same time which made fault isolation difficult.
    Problem recreation:
    Set up airport expresses hard wired to extreme
    Connect gigabit switch anywhere to network
    Everything OK
    Dettach one computer from wifi then reattach, then all wifi stops working. It takes a few seconds for the problem to propagate.
    Ethernet still works fine
    Problem Resolution:
    Connect to 2wire with ethernet
    Set 2wire route to have subnet as 192.168.2.x
    Set extreme in NAT mode behind 2wire. It will complain about double NAT. Override the warning. Set the subnet to 192.168.1.x so you don't have to change any static IP addresses. Note that 2wire uses 192.168.1.254 as default route whereas airport uses 192.168.1.1.
    I set DHCP to start at .10 to leave the lower addresses for assigning static IP addresses to computers I want to expose outside the firewall.
    Go into firewall settings. Select airport extreme. Select the bottom setting which is "DMZ Plus". When you go into the airport extreme settings, you will now see that it has the uverse public IP address on its WAN port. NAT port mappings work fine on the extreme behind the 2wire router.

    Keeping this very short here is a summary of the actual problem and solution to allow your Apple Airport Extreme to run in Bridge mode on the same subnet as your uVerse settop boxes (if your Layer 2 switch is configurable). 
    Devices: Uverse, Cisco SG300, and Airport Extreme
    uVerse uses Multicast to broadcast video streams between the uVerse network to the settop box, and from settop box to settop box.
    X number of Multicast Groups are created based on X number of settop boxes you have.  You can see the multicast definitions by logging into the webinterface of the iNid. Each settop box is a member and can choose to display a broadcasted TV stream or not.
    Multicast membership is setup by the use of ICMP messages for IPv4 (MLD for IPv6).  Each of the settop boxes become members of each others multicast group by reporting up to the iNid (MultiCast Proxy).
    In an ideal world a layer 2 switch will track these memberships and only forward a broadcast packet to the ports on the switch to which the settop boxes are connected to.  The switch would do these via snooping on the ICMP packets.  Most switches by default do not do this by default and simply forward the broadcast packett out every one of it's switch ports.
    Here in lies the problem.  Problem is that the Apple AES doesn’t do ICMP snooping / filtering and floods the wireless network with these broadcast streams.
    In order to fix this you must turn on ICMP snooping and filtering on the switch (or buy a switch that does this).  I have a Cisco SG300 and list out the configuration below.
    Other notes:
    Ensure that all Media renderers (settop boxes) and servers are wired directly off the switch and not attached to any of the Airport Express ports.  This way no media transverses the Airport (only control point traffic goes through the WiFi - which is fine).  Obviously if the IGMP snooping switch sees any client requesting Multicast streaming traffic on the same port as the WAP, it will add that Multicast address to the forwarding table for that port, and then, yes it could get flooded.
    Remember, you need to allow some Multicast traffic through your WAP to allow UPnP discovery to work (assuming that you will be using Wireless control points.)
    Read the Multicast chapter in the SG 300 switch Admin Guide as it explains things very well.
    Setting up multicast on the SG300s using the WebUI:
    1. Multicast/Properties/
    Tick enable Bridge Multicast Filtering Status for VLAN 1, and
    set the Forwarding Method to IP Group Address for both IPv4 & IPv6.
    2. Multicast/ IGMP snooping/
    Tick enable IGMP snooping status then select and edit the entry and ensure that IGMP querier status is ticked.
    It's essential for IGMP snooping to work that there must be at least one active IGMP querier on the network - if more than one is enabled, they will carry out an "election" to decide which one should be active (normally the one with the lowest IP address.)
    3. Multicast Router Port
    Set whichever port that is connected to the uVerse iNid to Status which means that it the uVerse router connected to this port is the Multicast Router
    4. Multicast/ Unregistered Multicast
    set all ports to Filtering. (The default is Forwarding.)
    There are a lot of other variables within all the above - the defaults are OK, you should probably leave them alone!
    In the config file you would then expect to see the above appearing as something like this:
    ip igmp snooping
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1 immediate-leave
    interface vlan 1
    bridge multicast mode ipv4-group
    bridge multicast ipv6 mode ip-group
    interface range gi1-10
    bridge multicast unregistered filtering
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1 querier
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1 querier address <IP-Addr>

  • Wifi bugs and poor camera photos with noise

    Hy everyone,
    Five days ago I've got my new Xperia Z1 from Vodafone.
    So far I encountered 2 big problems with the wifi:
    1. The wifi turns off by itself after a few minutes, with or without wifi connection (to be clear the "keep wifi on during sleep" is set to always. "Avoid poor connection"  disabled)
    2. Cannot find my wifi network without restarting the phone and when connected I have a poor connection with only one line. I also use a HTC Desire X and the connection is full.
    I have a Tp-link TL-WR841N 300M wireless router
    Another problem is the poor photo quality of this camera, with a lot of noise in the image

    Thx bud for the answer.
    Still that doesn't fix the poor signal problem.
    About the wifi auto turn off, I think was the "location based wifi" setting from power management. Turned that off and the wifi remains on.
    Another interesting thing was about my wifi network discovery. If I disable the WPS in my router, then my wifi becomes undiscoverable for the Z1.
    Hope it helps
    Have you checked on your laptop or wirless devices what range you are getting with your router? download a software for your laptop called Inssider3 http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ Free software. what you can do is check if anyone has over lapping channels which conflict with your network. if your loooking at your icon on your phone it will fluate run a speed test on it speedtest software avalible in play store and check your speed your getting on your wifi on your phone and your laptop. (http://www.speedtest.net/)
    i think personally the signal icon is abit playing up as it happens with mine even if im next to the router or far away.
    tell me what results your get from your laptop and and phone.
    Just before your run these test on your phone go to... Settings>wifi>click your wifi name> read the signal strength and reply back with the information you have found.
    dont forget a kudos =)

  • AirPlay discovery over Bluetooth in AppleTV 6.1?

    Has anyone got AirPlay discovery over Bluetooth, supposedly added to, AppleTV 6.1, working?
    Does it requires an iPhone 5 and/or an AppleTV (3rd generation)?
    I'm using an iPhone 4s with iOS 7.1  and an Apple TV (2nd gen) with 6.1:
    • AirPlay works fine if I put these two devices on the same Wi-Fi network
    But if I switch them to different networks (which are still IP connected though), the Airplay button does not get appear on my iPhone.
    • Bluetooth is enabled on both the iPhone and Apple TV 2.
    Several sites report AirPlay discovery over Bluetooth working between iOS 7.1 and AppleTV 6.1:

    Saito,
      • AirPlay mirroring works fine for me when both devices, AppleTV & iOS device, are on the same wireless network.
      • We are not trying to do AirPlay mirroring over Bluetooth.
    But my institutional network blocks the multicats used by the Bonjour protocol to disocver AirPlay receivers. To use AirPlay here, I must therefor set up an ad-hoc WiFI network and connect both the AppleTV and the iOS device to this network, for the Bonjour protocol to be successful and the AirPlay link to be displayed on the iOS device.
    The links I provided suggested that with iOS 7.1 and AppleTV 6.1, one could use bluetooth for discovery of the AirPlay receiver (and hence it's IP address.)  The actual AirPlay session would then routed from your iOS device to the IP address of the AppleTV. Bluetooth would not be used for the AirPlay traffic, just for the Bonjour discovery phase.
    However, I, like Randall G. Black - TIS, was unable to discover my AppleTV (2nd generation) over Bluetooth. I, like Randall G. Black - TIS, wonder if AirPlay-discovery-over-Bluetooth, in addition to requiring iOS 7.1 and AppleTV 6.1, may have other requirements? Perhaps it only works with the AppleTV (3rd generation)?
