Problems Connecting Acer Iconia W510 Wirelessly to...

Because my daughter has a disability. She has been given an Acer Iconia W510 by her school for her work in school and so she can do her homework at home. I have tried everything but I cannot get it to connect wirelessly to my BT Infinity Broadband. The laptop recognises the network and appears to connect to it but it doesn't because it won't connect to the Internet. I have normally connected other devices via BT Desktop Help without a problem but this isn't installed on my daughter's laptop. It does connect to the Internet at my daughter's school. Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be and what I need to do? Many thanks.

First of all reset the home hub to factory default and try again.
If that fails, then change the wireless encryption on the home hub to WPA only, delete the existing wireless connection on the ACER, end re-enter the wireless key again.

Firefox Nightly is always crushing when starting in Metro-Style on my Windows 8 device (Acer Iconia W510)

System: Windows 8
Device: Acer Iconia W510
Nightly is set as default browser and its working in Desktop Mode but if i want to open a link or just the Metro-App I can see the loading screen for some seconds and then nightly is closing.
It's impossible for me to make it run in Metro-Style.

I suspect that the problem with the Intel GMA has been fixed, at least my W3 which is effectively the same 2760 archetecture as the W510 installed as update, and a W510 should install normally. For the w3 when Win10 complained about "not enough room" I just pointed it at the 64GB microSD and it put the recovery files there. Why did you need to remove yours ? Giving it a few days then I'll probably upgrade the 510 as well. BTW the W3 is handling dual big monitors & the Targus dock on W10 with no problem. Plays video nicely.

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of server

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. I have a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of servers and trying to reconnect this way. These methods have worked temporarily, but the same problem keeps coming back. Most of the time my personal wireless connection does not even come up among the list of available networks. My fellow flatmates have PCs and both of them are able to connect to the network without problem.
The router is a d-link model DIR-615. I am not tech savy, so if any other information need to be provided in order to better understand my situation, please let me know.
Please help me!

If I open the list of networks in a window it says "connection timeout," but if I just select it from the drop down it tries for awhile and then stops with no prompt. When I try to run network diagnostics it says "sorry, we can't connect to the internet" (or some solution-free variation of that)

Connecting Acer Iconia tablet tp BT BB

Just bought an Acer Iconia tablet but can't connect to BT homeHub 2. Tablet says hub is disabled even though my Acer laptop is connected and working at the same time. Icon on the tablet wireless settings window shows a padlock suggesting the hub is locked against access by other devices.
Tablet works on an O2 hub with no problem. Any suggestions?

Hi silversurfer99, Welcome to the Forums
Have you ever been into your Homehub to change any of the wireless setttings?
If not, you may want to reset your homehub and try again.
If that doesn't work, you can gain access to your Homehub's interface by typing in 192.168.1.254 into your browser (from a device connected to the hub). From there you can check your wireless settings and alter them according to how you want your security (The best is WPA2). You can also change your password through this menu.
Sometimes devices are temperamental with what Wireless Channel they are on - You may want to switch this around and see if your device connects.
The padlock you are seeing usually means the hub's wireless is passworded, are you sure this isn't the case?
I hope this helps.

Problems connecting 2 computers to wireless network at the same time

Switched to Mac 2 weeks ago and will never go back!!!!!
Having a slight problem with my home wireless network.. I am running Leopard 10.5.1 and my wife has Vista... For some reason we cannot connect to our wireless network unless one of the other computers is on and connected.. Example: I just opened my Macbook and it showed that I was connected.. However, I could not get any access to the internet without first turning my wifes computer on and connecting.. The same happens when my wife tries to get online.. Her laptop will not connect unless mine is connected first.. It is rather strange.. The last one on the internet is the only one with access unless the other computer is connected.. I am not sure if this is a problem with the router or a compatibility issue with Microsoft and Apple.. If anyone could help it would be highly appreciated as it is quite frustrating that when I want to connect to our network I must connect my wifes computer first.. and vice versa for her.. Can anyone help? We use a Belkin wireless router...

For $50 or so you could get a Linksys WRT54G and not have the headaches. It cannot be an issue with the computers so by default it is the router. Get a better one.
A router will be indifferent to a computer connecting unless it is set to reject them with mac filtering, the password is wrong or there is a limit set to only issue one IP address in which case both would not work. The router cannot know XP from OSX, or a mac from Windows as the standard is 802.11 and TCP/Ip not brand specific.

Problems Connecting Computer & Printer Via Wireless

I've recently just bought a HP Deskjet 2544 printer. I've installed the printer as per all the instructions, however when i tried to install this via the wireless it could not find the computer even though it was connected to the wireless in the house. Because of this problem, I was able to install via the USB cable.
Since installing I can print only via the USB cable. I've went back and tried to connect the computer and the printer via wireless and everything is telling me they are connected (i've ran a systems report and all the lights are on, on the printer), however I keep getting the same messafe "unable to connect to your computer".
Any ideas how to fix this, so that I can print wirelessley?
Thanks
Claire

Problem connecting Canon Pixma IP5200R wirelessly

Hello
My problem is this: I have successfully set up my IP5200R printer to print wirelessly in conjunction with my iMac and Airport Extreme. However, if I temporarily 'switch off' the network's WEP protection which I have to do from time to time to allow a pesky laptop PC to use the wireless network, when I later reactivate the WEP protection the printer is no longer detected and I get an error 306 when I try to print anything. I then have to reinstall the printer using the USB cable to get it back on the wireless network which is very annoying. Is it possible to toggle between WEP off and WEP on without having to reinstall the printer each time?
Many thanks, and apologies for any clumsy descriptive terms used to describe this problem. I hope you get the general idea!

Modesto:
I have a Pixma 800 and I assume setting up yours is the same as mine. You have to connect the printer to the computer via USB cable directly and set it up wired with the setup disc that came with the printer. After you've done this disconnect the USB cable from the computer and connect it to the USB port of your router. In my case, it is the Airport Extreme station. I'm not sure after this but I would go to System Preferences under the Apple and then click on printer and Fax. If you do not find the printer there, click on the "+" and after a time, the printer should show up because the printer driver has been downloaded. I don't know if your printer driver has been downloaded with the Apple OS software. Then click on the Pixma 800 which should show up and then click add. I'm not sure about the rest but you must first make a direct USB connection between the printer and the computer. I hope this starts you on the way.

Problems connecting a Officejet 7310 wirelessly and via ethernet cable

My printer (a Officejet 7310) is connected to two PC's via a router and ethernet cable. I now wish to install a laptop as well.
I know the lap top is communicating with the router wirelessly, but I cannot get the laptop to recognise that there is a printer installed.
I have tried connecting the printer directly (via an Ethernet cable) to the laptop and this works fine. I have downloaded the latest software for the 7310 and utilised both options (wireless and cable).
Any help would be most appreciated.
This question was solved.

OK, great, I have a much better understanding now. Thanks.
Do you have an antivirus program? Does it have a firewall? If so, disable it to test.
Print a network test from the front of the printer to obtain its IP address. Type that IP address into a browser to see if you can contact the printer.

Having problems connecting to wireless network when extended

Hi. I recently switched over to a mac and love it!! However I recently purchased a Time Capsule and a Airport Extreme to extend the network and am having problems. My macbook continues to log onto the guest network and not the main wireless network. When I try to switch to the main network it asks me for the WPA password and then it tries to connect but then states connection timeout. When I remove the guest network from my list of networks it will not allow me to connect to the internet at all through the main wireless network unless I power down the airport extreme that is extending the network. One final note, I have no problems at all if I keep the airport extreme shut down and do not extend the network. It seems it is not the time capsule but the airport extreme. One other additional note, my windows machines are having no problem connecting to the main wireless network with the network extended!!

Welcome to the discussions!
A few thoughts:
If you have not already done so, it will makes things easier to troubleshoot if you assign separate names to your "main" and "guest" network. By default, they are the same name and it sometimes is difficult to know what network you are actually connected to.
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Look for an "options" button. This should allow you to assign a separate name for the "guest" network.
The "main" network can be extended, but the "guest" network cannot be extended. Your other computers may be connecting to the "guest" network unless they are newer devices capable of connecting at 802.11n only 5 GHz.
It's easy to make a mistake when setting up the "extend" feature. Please check the following settings for your TC and AirPort AX or AEBS (You posted in the Airport Express forum, but talk about having an AirPort Extreme in your post).
You will use AirPort Utility - Manual Setup as above to check your settings as follows:
_On the Time Capsule:_
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode should be "Create a wireless network"
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
_On the AX or AEBS:_
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode should be set to "Extend a wireless network"
Make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"
The Security and Password settings must match the settings of the TC exactly
You should now be able to identify whether your computers are connecting to the "main" or "guest" network. If your computers are connecting to the "guest" network, they are connecting directly to the Time Capsule regardless of their location in relation to your device that is extending the network.
Using your Mac, if you hold down the "option" key while you click on the fan shaped airport icon at the top of the screen, you will be able to see whether you are connected to the "main" network (802.11n 5 GHz) or the "guest" network" (802.11 2.4 GHz).
The BSSID will display the AirPort ID of the device that you are connected to. By noting the ID of your Time Capsule and AX or AEBS, you will know which device you are actually connected to on the network. As you move closer to the "extending" device, your computer should automatically switch to the device with the strongest signal.
Please post back on your findings.

Problem connecting to a wireless network

I am using 'Aztech' wifi router/ADSL modem for wireless network at my home. I had been connecting fine with the internet using it until yesterday, when, after a software update, I have been unable to connect to the network (I can access it with my wife's laptop, an acer running windows XP). I tried reconfiguring the connection, reconfiguring the settings of the wifi router and even reinstalling the software, but without any positive results.
The current situation is: I can see the network in the list but when I try to connect using the correct password, I keep getting the message "There was an error joining the Airport network '(Network Name)'".
(I have no problem connecting via the cable)
Help me out please...
Mac Book 2.0 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I had the same problem with my Macbook after the update. It will no longer connect to my router using WPA-PSK authentication. It did work for me after changing my security settings back to using WEP authentication.
I have not been able to figure out the reason for this but this may help get your Macbook back on the internet for now.

Acer Iconia Tab 8 A1-840 FHDSD card mount problem

I bought the Iconia tab 8 (A1-840 FHD) and was disappointed. Due to incorrectly configured firmware - SD card when the device is connected properly mounted within the system (such as an external USB drive), there is no way to transfer files to it (the card is locked for writing applications) can not be set as a cache for Google Music, no connection mode as USB drive when connected to a computer. In fact, it is not working appendage and is not intended for storing information. When can I expect to fix this problem? Why was it decided to change the default for all other tablets on the market functionality?

I have not been able to use my micro SD card that I bought for my Acer iconia tab 8 from day 1 as it is not functional due to whatever changes that were made prior to boxing and shipping out to the public. On the box and in advertising it is listed as a feature which constitutes fraud in my opinion. And if there is some round about way of using it that is not good enough. You should be able to utilize the card slot/function just as you would if it were a camera or a laptop computer. Even though I have not been able to use it I have left it in my tablet and when I turned my tablet on I got a notification that it was damaged and to try to reformat it. It's funny that I can't use it but the tablet somehow damaged it! Double whammy! So what is Acer going to do to fix this situation for all of us who have purchased tablets with useless card slots? No excuses or be either. Consumers, like myself, are tired of being lied to and taken advantage of. Yes laptops and tablets are more affordable then ever but that does not mean quality and customer service should be null and void because we are getting such a good deal.

Acer Iconia A1-830 and Blackberry z30 Hotspot Connection After OS Upgrade To KitKat 4.4.2

Despite receiving an update for OS KitKat 4.4.2 my Blackberry z30 is still unable to connect to my Acer Iconia A1-830 via HOTSPOT or BLUETOOTH TETHERING. Obviously this is a software issue because the original OS Jellybean 4.2.4 was working fine before the upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2. Acer need to provide a fix so that my Acer Iconia A1-830 and my Blackberry z30 can connect via HOTSPOT or BLUETOOTH TETHERING.

Anything happening with this? I have 3 Acer B1-750s, Android 4.4.4 Kernel 3.10.20+Acer Image version: Acer_AV0K0_B1-750_RV03RC02_WW_GEN1Build #: Acer_AV0K0_B1-750_1.012.00_WW_GEN1 Steps to reproduce:1. Turn on the blackberry hotspot2. Enable WiFi on the tablet3. Select the Blackberry hotspot from the list of available networks4. Enter the WPA pass phrase5. Watch as the Acer repeatedlt tries (and fails) to connect. An open unsecured hotspot is not an option, and in any event the blackberry has no option to disable security.The Acer does connect to Android and iPhone Hotspots with no trouble, but I use a Blackberry in my business operations so those devices don't count.Really need this to work or the Acer tablets I purchased have to be returned for something that works with Blackberry Hotspot, by way of investigating this problem I now know Nexus works properly, as does Samsung)

TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.
