Wireless/Ethernet Issue

I have DSL, and when I plug the ethernet cable in to my macbook, I have no issues
I also have a Linksys Wireless G router, I used to be able to connect to my wireless network. I left home for a month, and when I came back, it won't work
Under network diagnostics this is what I get
Airport = Green
Airport Settings = Green
Network Settings = Green
ISP = Green
Internet = Red FAILED
Server = Red FAILED
I don't really know anything about this stuff so I am totally confused, I've googled and fiddled and done everything I can think of
What the heck is the problem??

By the way maybelle...
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Now back to your problem... Not sure what the problem is. We need a lot more information as requested by the previous post.
Please answer the following as best abs you can so that we can try to assist you in resolving what ever issues you and your Mac are suffering from.
1. Please up update your profile so that we know what kinda Mac and OS you have as this can help us help you.
2. You say that the wireless router has been used for years with a notebook (windows I presume), are you now trying to get a Mac attached to the wireless network for the first time?
3. What exactly is your network not doing? example cannot access internet through wireless, cannot access wireless network at all, getting error messages?
4. Can you see the router with Airport Utility?
5. Is the router set to broadcast the SSID (A.K.A. the name of the network)?
6. Are both your Mac and the router set up for DHCP using wireless.
If you have any questions about the above please post back.

Wired ethernet issues

I'm having problems with wired ethernet on my MacBook Pro. I connect my MBPro up to another machine using a non-crossover cable and it works fine. I disconnect it and hook it up again after a while and it no longer works. I do an ifconfig and see that en0 is inactive. It only works again after I reboot the MBPro.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Evan
P.S. I also have wireless ethernet running while doing this. But, I doubt that that makes much of a difference.

There seems to be a number of issues here all centered about the built-in ethernet port. I have had a similar problem with 2 different MBP's. After working with Apple tech support we found it to be a software problem, not a hardware problem.
This fix may not be applicable to all of the different iterations of ethernet problems listed here, but here is what I did. I moved the file /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist. to my desktop. I restarted my computer and the port worked without a problem. If this doesn't seem to fix the problem, you could move the file back to it's original location, or I think you could delete it without a problem.

WRT54G V3.0 Wireless Speed Issue - ping example

Hello:
I have been having very odd wireless connectivity issues with my router. The issue happens randomly, and from what I can tell, it is not based on interference.
Basically my wireless connection always stalls. Sometimes it quits all together. I get the exact same result weather I am one foot or twenty feet away from the router.
This can clearly be displayed by pinging my device:

(it should be noted that if i plug directly into the router via ethernet I get perfect pings / no stalls like above)
My current Firmware Version is: v4.30.5
Here is what I've tried changing/testing and had the exact same results with:
-Tried every wireless channel- and i've tried wireless G only.
-Reset back to the default firmware/flashed the device/reinstalled everything etc etc- many times
-disabled any wireless security
-turned off all bluetooth devices, wireless phones or cordless phones in the area (no microwaves are running).
If i use another wireless router (i borrowed my AP from work one night), it works perfectly, no issues. This is why I think it may be a hardware issue with my router. (There are other wireless routers in the area, but my testing router from work is just fine with the others).
Is it possible I have a hardware issue with this WRT54G?
If not, what other things can i try?
Thank you for any help you may have.
Happy New Year!
-roscolux

i cannot think of any other settings besides the advanced wireless settings

Dual RAP Mesh Network vs PTP Wireless Ethernet Bridging to provide link redundancy

Currently looking at a few options to optimize a current point-to-point wireless LAN-to-LAN connectivity shot for a wired customer site for better redundancy (hardware diversity and/or logical path diversity). Currently the customer is fed via an older solution, using two Cisco 1522 APs with Cisco Aironet 14-dBi Path Antennas (AIR-ANT5114P-N) for a 5-GHz PTP wireless ethernet bridge (under 3km), in which one 1552AP hangs off a L3/L2 Distro switch and the customer's 1522AP hangs off a 3750X switch, which has another access switch hanging off it via a fiber run of about 2km, which is exposed in parts and can't be re-run again due some limitations.The customer doesn't utilize any wireless services. Due to their location, we can't connect them to our wired distro infrastructure directly via fiber.
Looking at setting up two wireless shots (instead of just one currently used); 5-GHz point-to-point bridges using upgraded gear: Cisco 1552EU APs with Cisco Aironet 14-dBi Path Antennas (AIR-ANT5114P2M-N) or straight Exalt r5005 solution. The PTP shot will hang off two seperate distro switches for redundancy purposes, pointing toward the customer site at two seperate locations, spaced apart by approximately 1 to 1.5 km, so that they aren't at the mercy of being isolated on one side if they have another fiber cut which connects their two main access switches together. If need be, we can hang two main APs on one distro facing two APs at the customer site, since this would create some redundancy, just not the same level as above.
The below is what I'm really unsure on.
Possibly looking at setting up a mesh network using Cisco 1552E APs with 2.4 GHz Omni-directional antennas (either a 2.4/5GHz Terrawave MIMO Omnidirectional antenna or Cisco AIR-ANT2547V-N antennas, which ever is best) with two RAPs, one RAP hanging off one distro and the other RAP hanging off another distro for hardware diversity, both under the same bridge group name and both RAPs hanging off the same WLAN management SVI subnet on the distros. The customer site will have two 1552E MAPs located at two seperate sites, as pointed out above. I don't think a third AP would be needed, since they don't use wireless services. Since there would be only two RAPs, not three, would it be best two set-up this with both RAPs on the same channel to minimize convergence time should the mesh transfer from one RAP to the other RAP, as long as both RAPs are spaced apart under ???? distance to avoid interference/other issues? Looking at some documenation, it appears you can have a MESH network, as long as your MAPs and RAPs fall within a 2 mile range area, preferably closer to a 1 mile range area (for better bandwidth & reliability). This solution has been brought up as possible dual-homed solution in theory, by virtue of having two more more MESH APs fall within the range listed above, to the RAPs. From a layer 3 perspective, I'm not sure what the most optimal idea to run with in this scenario set-up would be. Possibly set-up two seperate user SVI VLANs (for their data services), one placed on each access switches these MAPs will hang off at the customer site, & using the same management SVI subnets as the RAPs for the wireless managment side (for accessing the APs). From my understanding, the user data SVI doesn't matter from the perspective of when the mesh transfers from one RAP to another, it should be transparent to them. The distro switches will just have the management SVIs placed on them for the RAPs, the user SVIs will be placed local on the access switches only. And all APs will hang off access ports set to the management VLAN ID.
In my opinion, the PTP 5-GHz, dual distro homed solution makes the most since for wired client access, but since the latter option was brought up, it has to be weighed - plus I'm curious if it can work.

The Exalt r5005 works great for redundancy PTP links. You have to use the sync cable between the two co-located bridges and also set the polarization on the bridges. You can then use routing or spanning tree to decide traffic path. With mesh, you will have to make sure you set the parent or else the maps will keep switching perhaps.

Labview 2011 always disconnecting over wireless Ethernet bridge!

Hello, we recently upgraded from labview 2009 to labview 2011. We use a Labview cRio-9014 and FPGA backplane 9114. For connecting the cRio to our laptop we use Digi XPress Ethernet Bridge: Multipoint 900MHz industrial wireless part# XEB09. This program worked over our wireless link running labview 2009 with the old cRio software.
After upgrading the desktop, upgrading the cRio's software and recompiling the FPGA code we tested our setup via a wired ethernet connection and ran it all day with no problems. However once we switched to using our wireless ethernet bridges the cRio disconnects always 2-3 minutes after starting. It also does not allow us to reconnect without powercycling the cRio. The radio modems show a solid connect and no problems the whole time. Now I've searched through known issues and all over the forums without finding anyone having a similar issue so I hope someone can chime in and let me know if something else in LV2011 changed or what.
My current hypothesis is that labview 2011 uses UDP packets for status/keep-alive and our radio modems are not guaranteed to recieve all UDP packets. Please correct me since this is only a guess and I don't know what's going on under the hood on the cRio side.
P.S. I've captured the packet data using WireShark on the laptops side from deployment until disconnection but can't find any obvious problems. It's a fairly large file so let me know if it's needed and I'll try to find a way to upload it.
Hopefully someone can help.

Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Wireless connectivity issues

_*My specifications:*_
*Model:* Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite U940 PSU6VA-00S002)
*Operating System:* Windows 8.1 x64 (upgraded from Windows 8 x64)
*Wireless adapter:* Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2200
*Wireless adapter driver version:* 15.10.0.12 (which is the latest for my device)
I have had this Ultrabook since February 2013, and throughout that period I have always had wireless connectivity issues, even after performing a factory reset. My wireless icon fluctuates between three states:
* Internet access
* Limited (in which case I cannot connect to the internet or any device on the network)
* Not connected - connections are available (and if I try to make it connect to the network, it will fail)
Sometimes my computer would instantly reach the "Internet access" state upon startup, and would remain in that state. Other times, it would be "Limited" for several minutes after starting up my computer before it finally connected, and even then the connection would drop out every now and then. At the worst, it would remain either "Limited" or "Not connected" indefinitely, no matter how many times I reset my wireless adapter or restarted my computer.
Until recently, I had always thought that these issues occurred randomly. However, I recently noticed that I always have a perfect connection whenever there are no other computers connected wirelessly to my home router, and I always experience issues of varying degrees when there is at least one other computer (or even a smartphone) connected wirelessly to the router. If there is another computer connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, this does not cause any problems; it is only wireless connections that interfere with my computer.
It is only this computer that has these problems; the other computers in my house never experience these issues, no matter how many computers are online. Also, my computer does not only experience these issues with my home router; it has the same issues on my university's wireless network.
My question is, how can I fix this? Is this a known bug, or is my wireless adapter defective? I know I can connect using an Ethernet cable where possible (I never have problems with Ethernet connections), but this is not always possible at university.

I just checked the page you linked to, but it recommends that laptop users obtain their drivers from their OEM rather than from Intel.
I had already checked for driver updates through both Toshiba Service Station and Device Manager (and checked both again just now). Toshiba Service Station tells me that there are no updates available, and Device Manager tells me that "the driver software for your device is up to date".
Should I update to Intel's latest driver anyway? If so, should I also install the Windows 8.1 version of "Intel PROSet/Wireless Wifi Software"?

I have found the WLAN channel setting in Device Manager and I will test it when I get the chance. But how do I change the WLAN standard?

Is there a fix for the MBP wireless dropping issue?

I began to experience the Macbook Pro dropping wireless connectivity on my very 1st Apple in 2008. At the end of the day my machine was replaced with a new Macbook Pro mid 2010. It appeared to be working just fine until about 2-3 months ago when I started dropping my wireless printer connection. I searched the internet hoping for a driver update from HP or something from Apple and each time I found something, the problem still existed. I even thought that by upgrading to Lion would resolve any issues that I have with my MBP wireless connectivity issue. After upgrading to buying a new router, new printer and upgrading to Lion; the wireless dropping issue still remains unresolved! I know there are several hundred in not thousands of people who are having the same problem so what are we supposed to do?
When my 1st MBP was replaced in 2010 I had to stop working because I was diagnosed with "Failed Back Surgical Syndrome" and was in the process of applying for disability. Something in the back of my mind said that I needed to purchase Apple Care for this new replacement however I had used all of my savings & retirement to sustain life for me and my family that there was nothing for Apple Care. If it weren't for my church and family I am not sure what I would do during the 18 months of no income while waiting for a decision only to receive an appeal until I findly stood in front of an Administrative Law Judge who heard my case and granted me disability. Besides there was no way I could ask anyone for money to purchase a warranty for a top of the line laptop while the country was falling off an economical cliff.
I broke down and called Apple Support and was told that I qualified for technical assistance regarding the upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago. The tech on the phone had me run some disk utility tests and had me repair permissions which she said could be the cause of the problem. I willingly went along with her in hopes that this was indeed the fix. However, within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone my MBP began to drop it's wireless connection to my new HP printer and also the Internet. Hence my question above is what I am really looking to have answered! What is the fix to this problem that so many people are having issues with? I couldn't afford to purchase Apple Care back in 2010 and I can't afford to purchase a new 2011 machine today if that truly is the fix!
I will be disabled for the remainder of my life and I have grown dependent upon my computer to stay in touch with friends and colleges from work. I worked for the IT Group at Wynn Resorts and I can say that the type of service Appple is providing it's customers is not what I learned over the past 25 years with Mr. Wynn. Why can't Apple get the simple concept that it's customers are it's life line and keeps them in business. I need help and I don't know what to do nor where to turn. It would be different if Apple acknowledged the issue and said they were working on it however they aren't. I plead to Apple to help me fix my notebook so I can stay connected to the outside world vs. couped up inside my home.
Best Regards,
Scott Leavitt

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

Using AE as wireless ethernet adapter

I've read through the airport express manual but can't seem to find if I can configure it to serve as a wireless ethernet adapter. I have an existing 802.11g wireless network (from a Westell router) and want to connect a computer that only has wired ethernet. I'd like to plug this computer into the wired connection on the AE and use the AE as a bridge to the existing wireless network. I know there's other hardware designed to do this, but I'd also like the AE's audio out at this location.
Thanks for the help.

It is not possible to do this with your current router. I don't believe your current router can do WDS network with Express, which is the only way you can activate ethernet port.

Wireless connecion issues using a macbook

Hi,
RE: Wireless connecion issues using a macbook
After doing some google searches, I have come to understand that there is a bug with OSX power management when running on battery which impacts the wireless connection of the macbook, though Apple geniuses are unaware of any such issue. Please see: http://kristopherjohnson.blogspot.com/2006/08/macbook-wireless-connection-drops. html and type in "macbook wireless connection problems" in google for many other discussions on this issue.
For all those who are having wireless connection issues with a macbook:
Plug in the macbook to use mains power (not the battery) to verify that you are impacted by the same bug (I even find sometime unable to connect to the router when on battery so have resorted to starting the machine with mains power plugged in). If that is the problem then here is a work around (taken from above blog):
Open the terminal window and type in the following command: ping -i 5 google.com
(this will ping the google domain every 5 seconds and maintain the wireless activity thus a connection).
I am surprised that Apple are not acknowledging this well known and widely reported bug and fixing the issue. In my case, I dont mind plugging the machine into mains most of the time and that has resolved the problem, otherwise I hope the above pinging works for you.
I discovered the workaround after ditching my old DLink router (though it had done its time) and buying an Airport extreme (£120), a trip to the Apple store (40 miles drive), trying several different people's machine on my network (frustration) and finally google to rescue, more specifically Kristopher Johnson's blog.
NOTE: My macbook worked fine in the Apple store while on battery power which was frustrating but apparently the problem only arises when connecting to consumer grade networks and not commercial ones, which I dont understand technically.

you can use but you will not get full screen on HDMI output.
Sometimes width or height of the screen was not completely used by ur mac other then that everything would be good.
You need to buy HDMI Output cable for mac something like this

I currently have wireless, but i am looking into this to maybe have faster wireless. if this is hooked up, will the existing wireless/ethernet to pcs still function without changing them to use the airport express?

i currently have wireless, but i am looking into this to maybe have faster wireless. if this is hooked up, will the existing wireless/ethernet to pcs still function without changing them to use the airport express?

let me fix this a bit. i currently have dsl and a 2wire wireless router, and i currently do not have one or a mac. im getting one for when i start college and this is a must if it will improve my internet. but i now connect wirelessly to the 2wire router. if this is set up, will the current 2wire wireless still be useable?

Pavilion wireless keyboard issues

I have just bought a new Pavilion 500-250ea desktop + Pavilion 22xi monitor. Nice hardware, shame about having to have Windows 8.1 though :-)
The desktop shipped with a wireless mouse and a wireless keyboard (Part No 697345-031). I've spent the last couple of days with all the kit on the desk, setting everything up and transferring all my files etc. All going nicely until I got to the stage where I was able to take my old machine away and put the new one in the space UNDER the desk (wooden top). Now the mouse is erratic and the keyboard often just 'hangs' for a while. Surely the wireless range ought to be better than that and not bothered simply by an intervening desk???? Or is 'deskTOP' meant to be taken literally.....
Also, the keyboard has NO CapsLock or NumLock lights !!! This plays havoc when trying to enter passwords :-( Is there any utility perhaps to display the CapsLock and/or NumLock status on the screen??

Hello Nemo2000,
I have read your post on how your desktop is experiencing erratic control of the wireless keyboard and the mouse with the desktop hidden away, and I would be happy to assist you!
To begin, I recommend moving the desktop to a more open area to test for spacial interference. To expand on this, I suggest following this document on Wireless Printing Common Questions. Under "Wireless Connection Issues" please select "How do I improve a weak signal from my wireless router?" on obstructions.
In regards to the caps and num lock keys, I understand there are no indication lights in the top right-hand corner. On most programs, however, you will be given an indication that the cap locks are on for passwords. A good example of this is when you log onto your computer, it will tell you if the caps lock is on or not.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

ATV2 OFFICIALLY rolled back to 4.2.1 due to wireless N issues

My ATV prompted me to update it an hr ago, I did, and when it came back up, 4.3 was gone and 4.2.1 was there.. I plugged it into itunes and it said it was up to date... I called apple support and they verified that JUST the ATV2 has been rolled back due to Wireless N and other wireless compatability issues.

TallBearNC wrote:
I had 4.3 on my ATV for weeks. it even said 4.3 in the about screen. You do not know what YOU are talking about.
Once my ATV went to 4.3 a few weeks ago, it could no longer connect to my N network until I turned WMM on, and even then it kept dropped off. So I had to switch my router back to A/G mode.
Yes, there WAS.. and if you don't belive me, ill be HAPPY to show you the ATV2 4.3 IPSW I've had sitting on my desktop for weeks
You are wrong. Take my advice and stop now before you embarrass yourself.

I am having wireless connectivity issues with my time capsule

Over the last 3 days my wireless devices have been having issues with connectivity.
Network setup:
Modem - Motorola SB5102 Cable Modem
1 TB Time Capsule 802.11n (second generation)
The devices are approximately 3 feet apart.
Wired Device:
Mac Pro (2008 build) running OSX 10.6.8, Airport Utility 5.6.1
Wireless Devices:
Playstation 3
Macbook Air
iPhone 5c
iPhone 4
I am having issues with internet connectivity. The wireless signal strength is fine as all devices can find the network. However when connected to the network accessing the internet on the Macbook Air, or either iPhone is slow and streaming services such as Netflix cannot connect. I have intermitant connectivity to the Playstation Network on the PS3.
I have wired both the Macbook Air and PS3 directly to the Time Capsule and have no issues, internet is accessible and streaming services are fine.
I have power cycled all the devices (Time Capsule, macbook, iphones, PS3, modem) to no result.
I am looking for any other suggestions that may help me with my wireless connectivity issue.

A Gen2 TC is probably on its last gasp.. and it is well overdue for replacement.
If you want to get more life out of it you normally need to repair or replace the internal power supply.. This is not done by apple or any of their repair centres.
Just do ebay search and you will find sellers with replacement supplies.
Otherwise to test, do a full factory reset..
I would also downgrade the firmware.. 7.5.2 will work just as well for you and has less bugs than 7.6.x firmware.
To downgrade hold down the option key when you select firmware version.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Iphone/IOS 6 and Enterprise Wireless Networks Issue

Hi there,
Our company runs Cisco wireless using WPA2 Enterprise and AD Authentication. Now we currently have multiple vendor phones/laptops working fine including Apple Macbook Pro's, Apple Iphone 4s, Samsung Galaxy S2/S3 working on the wireless without issue.
However Ive been seeing issues with Iphone 5s and an Ipad now as well running IOS 6 where it just wont connect to the network. I am using Iphone configuration utility to install a Wireless profile with the certificate/AD credentials onto the Apple device.
I just loaded the profile on an Iphone 5 and it worked straight away.
However on ipad and other iphone 5's this is what happened, it associated to the Wireless but never got an IP address so never finishes connecting. just sits on spinning wheel.
Here is some output from the Iphone configuration utility console:

T61 Wireless Connectivity Issue - can not connect with secure wireless sites

I have a T61 using Windows XP. The internal wireless card was factory installed and has not been upgraded.
My home Internet is Comcast high-speed.
When I take my laptop to a coffee shop, business or other location with a secure wireless network that requires a password, I have not been able to log on. I can see the wireless networks available and can click on the appropriate one, but I never get a window/pop-up box/screen in order to allow me to enter the wifi network's user name and password.
Is this a firewall issue, wireless card issue...or?
I can access unsecured wireless networks where a password is not needed.

Hi lisapapp!
One more thing to check: Is your Windows XP up to date? Older XP releases do not support the newer wireless encryption types which are now in common use (WPA, WPA2). Make sure you have SP3.
