WRT54GC router with Netgear MA111 USB Wifi Adapter
Hi all,
bought a router this morning and managed to get it to work with all the inbuilt wifi on laptops. Except on using the Netgear MA111 usb. It seems to get the ip 169... instead of the default 192.168.1.xxx.
I tried to assign static ip but does not work. Tried using the netgear software and also tried using windows to manage it and neither worked.
It works with a cable ie wired and only wifi did not work.
Any idea/solution would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Roi
Now that you have the correct IP and DNS, can you ping a website or a public IP?Ping yahoo.com and 216.109.112.135.

WIFI problems solved with D-Link USB WIFI adapter...
I have a brand new Macbook Air and I have persistent problems connecting to my home wifi network. Sometimes I can connect to the router but not the internet, but usually Airport won't connect at all: it keeps asking me for the password for our home network (even though it's stored), so I re-enter the password, but it still can't connect. When it gets to this point I know that I either have to live without internet for the rest of the day, or disrupt my work and everyone else in the household by rebooting my computer and reseting the router (sometimes just one of these actions will work, but it's unpredictable).
So I bought a D-Link DWA-125 USB wireless adapter and installed drivers from Ralink (http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=3) and it pretty much solves the issue.
I don't know what further proof Apple needs that this is a problem with the Air and not the internet/router/etc. It's rather comical that I have to use an ugly old USB adapter to get a brand new Macbook Air to connect to internet in my own home.vilayyyy wrote:
I've had my Macbook for 2 yrs and the wifi basically never worked - only when I'm right next to the router, at school, or of course the Apple Store. I tried to get apple to fix it under AppleCare, but since it was working perfectly in the store, they said there was nothing they could do.
If your Mac works well at school, or the Apple Store but not at home, the problem definetly is not the Mac and therefore there is no need to buy a external usb wifi device.
You better will fix the settings of your home router and after that your Mac will be fast and smooth on your home wifi.
I've had only on very rare situations a problem with d-link routers over the years and think (if not damaged) even your d-link will work pretty good with your Mac.
Would you be so kind and explain the settings of your home router and what model it is?

Is there such a thing as a USB WIFI adapter that works with OS X 10.9?
Is there such a thing as a USB WIFI adapter that works with OS X 10.9? I have tried 3 different models, none of which were compatible. The built-in WIFI card in a 2012 Mac Pro is absolutely crap (0/10 on the performance scale). Any recommendations?
Hey everyone, yes I have installed the drivers properly. I've used an ASUS, Bolse, and EDIMAX adapter. Some had a 10.8 driver, some had 10.9. After reaching out to customer support for each and every one of these companies for help, and through multiple returns, I have not gotten anywhere with any of the drivers or products.
It's getting ridiculously hard to stay an Apple customer when the quality of their products are getting worse and worse, which leaves me no choice but to go to third parties to replace the faulty hardware.
And honestly I'm just sick of calling India every day to get my issues resolved. -
USB wifi adapter with Firefox OS?
I recently bought a product called Via APC. It is similar to the Raspberry Pi, only it has Firefox OS pre-installed.
My question is, can I use a USB wifi adapter with Firefox OS? Will it recognize it automatically or will I need to do anything?I would recommend contacting APC for more information...
Thanks! -
USB wifi adapter can only handle one request or socket at a time
I have a usb wifi adapter that I bought recently. The strange thing is that if I'm doing only one thing that is using the network (e.g. downloading a file) it works good and fast. But say I'm downloading a file and I do ANYTHING else that uses the network (e.g. just opening a browser at google.ca), the download comes to a stop. Then if I close the browser, the download starts up again a couple seconds later, good and fast.
Another example is, say I'm in a Google Hangouts (video chat) session. As long as that is the only thing I have running, the chat works fine. If I open a second browser window, then the chat gets super choppy and pretty much un-usable until I close the second window.
So basically it seems like I can have only one open socket at a time, or else it can handle only one request at a time. Also, most webpages open very slowly as a result because the browser only seems to be able to download one static file at a time (e.g. js and css files needed by the page).
I'm sure it's a problem with the usb wifi adapter because I didn't have these problems when I was on a wired connection, and I have other devices using wifi (e.g. laptops and tablets) that don't have this problem either.
Rather than paste a bunch of output from commands, please kindly tell me what to run in order to gather any useful info.
Thanks,
Edit: The adapter is an ASUS USB n-53 (N600).
Last edited by Pacopag (2014-07-18 14:36:20)I was exploring the CD that came with the device. Turns out there are Linux drivers on it. I didn't install any drivers, as wicd detected it automatically. I'm wondering if changing drivers might help. Can someone help me interpret the installation instructions?

Recommendations for USB WiFi Adapter
I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a specific brand/model USB WiFi adapter that would be compatible with OS X Leopard (10.5.5). Ideally, I'd like it to have the following features:
- USB 2.0
- 802.11b/g
- External antenna/port
I've used a Hawking HWUG1A, which worked great for about a year, then died (actually, now it causes a kernel panic after using it for a while... Hawking Tech Support said it was probably a hardware failure in the card, but I'm out of warranty).
Thanks for any thoughts/suggestions/input.Hello.
So, I have received G54SL USB wireless card. Installation was simple but I still needed to install it twice before it worked. Installation indicated that it was for Tiger even though I choose 10.5 package. Setting parameters was easy enough.
So far I tested it on my MiniMac which is placed in a distant corner of my apartment where reception with AirPort card was not very good.
My impressions: the reception with G54SL was better than with the Mini's airport card. I plugged it directly to the Mini, without extension cable. This suggests that I could have even stronger signal if I move USB around when connected to the computer via extension cable. The signal was stable with time.
When computer waked up from sleep it reconnected fast. However, when I restarted computer I needed to choose my network again. It took some time before the connection was established. I did not read manual yet and I do not know if I can make card remember my network and reconnect automatically.
I would say that if you need to extended range and have stable connection this card is more reliable than the built-in Airport card (at least in my case). I still need to try it with my portable computers and test behavior with networks other than mine. I'll try this during the next week. -
USB WiFi adapter that can replace iMac Airport
After trying all of the workarounds posted in the forums to address the sporadic wifi problems, I've had it. Apple does not seem willing to address it, so I either relegate my 24" iMac to being nothing more than a DVD player in the spare room or I find a meaningful resolution. I've read that some people have started using a separate USB WiFi adapter.
Any consensus on whether some models work better/worse than others?
Anyone had long term success with one they can report?
After 17 years of Macs, this is the first one I have had with widespread problems and I'm quite dismayed that Apple has, thus far, ignored it.Listen... a Mac is a computer like a Windows PC. It's hard drive can have data corruption too. And you may have even installed some third-party software that is causing this problem, such as a custom kernel extension. Or you may have inadvertently deleted or moved some key system component. There are many possibilities, but the solution of last resort (for any computer since personal computers had hard drives) has been to back up personal data, erase the hard drive, and re-install. If you go to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store, they'll do some trouble-shooting and if they can't figure it out with reasonable effort, they'll erase the drive and re-install the OS. If that does not resolve the issue, they'll conclude it is a hardware problem start investigating which component is faulty.
If Macs never failed or had issues related to its hard drive, Apple would not have created Time Machine so users can do ongoing backups without thinking about it.
I have no idea what you have tried, since you have did not specifically state it. You should have already tried these three basic steps
Run Disk Utility and use +Repair Disk Permissions+ on the +First Aid+ tab
Reset PRAM - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Reset SMC - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
And before doing an erase and install, you should try one more thing as a test. Create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account. Try wireless networking while logged into this new account. Does it work better or is it the same?
If there is improvement, the cause is likely to be confined to your normal user account and not the overall system or hardware. It may be a corrupted user preferences setting or some third-party process that is running in the background. Be sure to check System Preferences Accounts pane +Login Items+ tab (in your normal account) and review the processes that start up automatically at login.
If there is no change, the cause is likely to be related to the overall system installation or to hardware. Backing up your data, erasing the hard drive, and re-installing will serve to either resolve the problem, or rule out a software-related cause (pointing to a hardware-related cause).
If you have questions about doing an erase and re-install, please post back. -
I am trying to capture Wifi signals beyond what the built-in Wifi radio of my T61 can receive. I have a Alfa 500 which uses a Realtek 8187 driver. I would like to continue to use Access Connections instead of another utility. I noticed that under tools in Access Connections, a wireless USB selection is greyed out. Is there a way to activate this optional tool and use a USB Wifi adapter?

Not at this time. It seems to be a feature which is not yet enabled. Presumably Lenovo has some plan for its use in the future, but I suspect that use may be related to USB connected WWAN devices, not WiFi devices.
Tell me more about these WiFi signal you can't access with your T61 internal WiFi?
Cheers,

How can I add Qualcom Atheros USB wifi adapter?
I need to add a Qualcom USB wifi adapter to my 2014 Macbook Pro retina, running latest Yosemite. I need to do this in order for a Parallels virtual machine to use wifi connection, rather than a bridged ethernet connection (the guest VM cannot 'see' the Macbook wifi adapter)
The wifi chipset is Atheros AR9271, but I can't find any Mac OS X drivers. Has anyone added this type of USB wifi adapter?
When I run the command system_profiler SBUSBData_Type the following information is shown, which tells me that the Macbook can see the device, I just don't know how to configure it
Product ID: 0x3327
Vendor ID: 0x13d3 (AzureWave Technologies, Inc.)
Version: 1.08
Serial Number: 12345
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: ATHEROS
Location ID: 0x14100000 / 7
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): Unknown (Device has not been configured)
thanks in advance!Considering the different options that PC could have been ordered with, it might be there is not an empty slot to mount a PCI add-on card to add a USB 3.0 card. It would be advisable to open the case to see if there is an empty slot. If there is, then THIS is a choice to add USB 3.0

Can I charge an iPod Classic 3G with the Apple USB power adapter?
I have just buy an iPod Classic 3G with 15 GB (SN JQ4239GQQQF) from ebay.
I have read that it's posible to sync it with my PC with Windows 7, but, It is not possible
to charge it by usb.
I could charge it with the Apple USB power adapter?
ThanksWith that particular model, only the Firewire cable and connection will provide power to the device. The USB cable is only for syncing.

COMPATIBLE USB WiFi ADAPTER/DONGLES FOR HP 470 MOBILE PRINTERS???
I've misplaced the HP USB WIFI dongle/adapter (HP Q6274A) to my H470 mobile printer and was wondering if another (Non HP) usb wifi adapter/dongle will work...until I find my original HP Q6274A dongle? Incidentally, I happened to notice Non-HP WiFi USB adapter/dongles are every where, they are very inexpensive and also offer the latest WiFi technology enhancements, ie: b/g/n & 300 Mbp/s, etc. I'm hopeful HP customer support will offer a few suggestions regarding other compatible H470 WiFi dongles... however, I doubt they'll suggest anything other than their hard to find/obsolete HP Q6274A ... any thoughts would be greatly appreciated =)
Hi xxwildbilxx,
Are you still experiencing issues? The adaptors may or may not work. If you have a spare, it is certainly worth a try, however I cannot guarantee compatibility. The specific adaptor for this model is readily available through online ordering systems. You can also contact HP technical support to compare best pricing options for these adaptors. Global contact information can be accessed Here.
Hope this helps!

ITunes Library set up on NetGear R6100 router with ReadyShare from USB port?
Can the iTunes Library be set up on a NetGear R6100 router with it's NetGear ReadyShare feature. from a USB thumb drive or USB hard drive attached to the one available R6100 router's USB 2.0 port?
I have read the Apple forum post about a similar question for the more advanced NetGear R7000 router, which says it can work there. Unlike some of the other sibling Netgear routers that do not have ReadyShare, my R6100 does, which leads me to believe that it should work, since its the same technology (they both have a router USB port with ReadyShare). It just appears that the documentation is very limited. The other post said to format the USB drive to the Apple format (HFS+), rather than Fat32, get the Mac or Apple to see the iTunes directory located on the router's USB port.
I'd like to know if anyone has had any luck using the ReadyShare.feature on their R6100 for sharing their iTunes library to the same iTunes account on different devices (laptop, PC, AppleTV, iPod, etc). My Apple TV has recently acquired a problem of not being able to detect the iTunes library on my PC, aftert a recent iTunes update, but that's another problem that the forums show a lot of people having. So I figured that since my R6100 router has the ability to share media over the network, I would try to move my iTunes library there, hopefully to make it easier to access by my Apple TV, and make it unnecessary to have my PC running when I watch my purchased iTunes movies, that are stored in that library. Interestingly, my movie and TV show files are stored in my iTunes Music folder under the "Movies" and "TV Shows" subdirectories (folders). The way it is set up now, if I'm watching a HD movie purchased from iTunes with my Apple TV, the movie stops playing as soon as my PC is shut down, which confirms to me that the large movie files are being pulled from there to my Apple TV.Oh groan, not another conspiracy theory. No, it's a lot more likely Apple and Netgear and the dozens of other manufacturers haven't gotten together with the thousands users who have come up with hundreds of thousands of ways of rigging things up and tested each and every one of them. I am confident if Apple were out to mess things up for you they could have come up with something a lot more devious.
Did you do a web search for this? With a Google search specifying Netgear with this error I found:
ReadySHARE USB Hard drive access issue from a Mac Computer (Time Machine or iTunes not working properly)
- Able to see USB hard drive content but unable to write to USB hard drive connected to router's Readyshare port from Mac computer.
- Error that says "The iTunes application could not be opened. Unknown error 13008"
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22763/~/readyshare-usb-hard-drive- access-issue-from-a-mac-computer-%28time-machine-or
In fact it is almost certain that it is an issue of that particular model router and the drive formats it can use. -

USB Wifi Adapter troubleshooting
Hello everybody,
As many people I confront a lot of problems related to wifi on my macbook after upgrading to lion. Tryed many ways to fix it but it just keeps coming back so I found an USB dongle wich I had for a while. It has a Realtek RTL8188CUS Chipset and looks similar to the one in the picture. It suppose to work on the MAC.
Problem:
I have no provided CD for drivers, but found them on the realtek website http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=48&Level=5& Conn=4&ProdID=274&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true .
Basicly what should happen:
1. I install the drivers
2. Restart the macbook
3. After booting up I insert the donge
4. Widow pops up for configuring new network adapter and installs rquired client software.
But after rebooting my mashine and inserting donge nothing happens. I tried to look up in system prefrences, network diagnostics. Doesnt look that it even recognises something here.
In System Information under USB I can see this:
Composite Device:
Product ID: 0x8176
Vendor ID: 0x0bda (Realtek Semiconductor Corp.)
Version: 2.00
Serial Number: 00e04c000001
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: RR
Location ID: 0xfd100000 / 3
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 500
I have two macs at home, one runs lion second runs snow leopard. Both act the same. Tried many different drivers, watched some videos on youtube even found the manual online which was not helpful at all.
Maybe there is someone who had this issue before or maybe just has some ideas about it?
Thank you for the support!James,
I have been getting exactly the same problem on my Oct-2011 macbook pro. OSX Lion 10.7.3.
I have been searching various websites for solutions. There are various stories about upgrades, reboots, drivers, OS versions. Everytime someone says one of them works 5 others reply, "It didn't for me".
The most frequent and plausible explanation seemed to be the macbook pro aluminium frame blocked radio signals. Mine works perfectly if i'm in the same rooom or the next room to the router. But elsewhere I've got a 50/50 shot that it will connect or be fast enough to browse the web. My old Dell had a good connection every single time from anywhere in the house.
I eventually decided to bypass the problem by installing a usb wifi dongle. I went to my apple supplier. Peats of Parnell St. Dublin. They recommended edimax ew-7622UMn. I just plugged it in and to see what would happen, which was nothing.
I loaded the mac driver from the cd. rebooted, plugged it in again; still nothing... It couldn't even tell if there was something attached.
I downloaded the latest mac driver from the edimax website; still nothing.
So I decided to-****-with-it. I brought them both back to where I got them. They could do no better. The USB dongle wroked perfectly in every PC in the store and saw their wifi network. my Macbook pro and every apple machine they had couldn't even see the thing. Then they tried another MAC compatible wifi dongle; they got the same results on my machine and others.They suggested I call Edimax support.
Edimax said it should work fine and that they never saw this problem before!!!
The reason I bought a macbook is because I don't have time for this stuff. I just wanted a machine that works. That's exactly what it does 50% of the time. The other 50% I get a slow or no wifi connection
If you or anyone figures out how to make USB wifi work with a MacBookPro please post the answer. I just want reliable wifi from my Home office. -
Need WiFi for Touch. Have wired connection. Is there a usb wifi adapter?

You can use an Airport Express or simply replace your wired router with one that supports both wired and wireless.
