WRT600N - Lost Wireless Access

I tried a search and found nothing similar.  1st, everything had been working well, then, for some reason, I lost wireless access to the internet.  I can still access my local network wirelessly (printer and a couple of other local items) but no internet.  I can access the internet normally using a wired connection into the router (plus all the local items).  I have check all my sttings and have "booted" everything a handfull of times.
Any suggestions?
Jim

As you have mentioned in your post, you are able to go online when you hardwire your computers to the router, but you are not able to go online wirelessly through router.Here are some settings which you can changed on your router, and i believe that this might solve your problem and you will be able to go online wirelessly..
This if for 5GHz Wireless Settings :
Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network.Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to159 and Standard Channel to 161-5.805GHz...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
 This is for 2.4GHz Wireless Settings :
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
-Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bits.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
Note : Before you connect to your wireless network, remove all the prefered network list from your computers and after this you can try connecting to your wireless network.

  • Lost wireless access

    I have an unusual problem. Have new MBP and has been working on the wireless network fine till three days ago. I have a Linksys Router and two AP's with 4pc's (3 wireless 1 via jacks) 1 Imac, 2 laptops wireless and the new MBP.
    The MBP will get on my network but will not take a DHCP or function with a hard IP config. On the MBP, I have under network port configuration unchecked all but the wireless card and still no luck. I have remove and rebuilt the airport and still the same as above.
    The Linksys I have set max DHCP to 50. I have the wireless access restricted to MAC address only and no SID broadcast and WPA TKIP.
    Any ideas????????????

    I'm having the same problem too. Periodicaly the MBP connects to the router (or so it seems) but configures an arbitrary DCHP lease. I have a Netgear router where I have specified to the router to only assign two specific address to the two computer that are hooked, everytime. This problem existed even before I did this, which is what prompted me to do it in the first place.
    I think the problem is with the Airport extreme card on the MBP.
    As of right this second I'm not able to connect to the internet with my MBP, I'm on my Windows machine.

  • Wireless Access to iMac DVD Drive from MacBook Air

    Help please? Could access the IMac drive and DVDs from my MacBook Air until recently. Drive is no longer accessible. Have also lost ability to print remotely to printer attached to iMac (have tried re-setting permissions etc). Can also no longer access the HD on the iMac using wireless access from the MacBook Air. Also have a Mac Book (one of my offspring's) which has same problems. Tried re-pairing with Bluetooth etc. and checking sharing in sys prefs, but to no avail. Anyone got any ideas?!? Probably something dead simple, but I've been trying to get it going for so long - I give up!

    Thank you. This one has very mixed feedback, that's why i thought i will ask. Have you used or heard about Asus BW-12D1S-U External Blu-ray Writer - Black? I am tempted to buy this one
    thank you

  • No wireless access with Windows XP Pro (SP2) on Macbook Pro

    Hello,
    Just installed Windows XP Pro (SP2) on my new Macbook Pro using Bootcamp Beta. The installation has gone fine with the exception of wireless access to the internet through my Airport home network.
    I've tried all the other configuraton wizards on XP...no joy.
    The three other macs in the house (2 wireless, 1 ethernet) and one Windows laptop (wireless) are all fine and dandy.
    Any suggestions on what to do?
    Thanks

    Right Click on My Computer
    Select Manage
    Click on Device Manager
    Make sure that your Ethernet Adapters are working properly
    If there is an red X or a yellow ! next to any ethernet adapter then try to reinstall the drivers.
    (you can reinstall the drivers via the installation cd or double click on the hardware device under device manager. there should be a reinstall drivers button in there. point it to the CD that you burned from bootcamp)
    (there will be a couple of devices that are not working properly.)

  • An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point"

    Hi,
    I've been using wireless access for a year and never had a problem connecting.
    But starting yesterday I get a +*An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point", Please try again.+* Message.
    I have 2 Mac's and have no problem connecting with the other one. It’s just the IMac.
    I tried everything including resetting router, changing password, adding a $ to the password, accessing without password, deleting the whole air port and create a new one, but still getting the same message.
    I might need to add, while I was working with the IMac I didn’t use wireless for a few hours, but when I got back to my browser I noticed that I was connected to a different wireless service. (FONFREEINTERNET if it matters) I have no idea why, since I didn’t change it.
    Anyways, I tried to switch back to my access point, but it wouldn’t let me. It’ll just give me the +*An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point", Please try again.+* Message.
    Funny is when I use the FONFREEINTERNET access point the internet seems to work fine.
    I could look up Google without a problem, but when I tried to connect to Facebook for example it won’t let me. Instead a FONFREEINTERNET page will pop up with some options on how to pay! (by minute/or day/or week…)
    I get the strange feeling that they planted some kind of bug/virus!!!
    I don’t know what else to do.
    Anyone knows that problem? What can I do?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    I researched on FONFREEINTERNET, there’s a spot close to my house/guess that’s the one I used…
    http://maps.fon.com/ ZIP CODE 904-0113 and you’ll see a coffee pod, which is about 2 minutes walk from my house.

    Hello Tesserax,
    I get the same error message again...
    I tried the 3 suggested steps again, but unfortunately it did not work.
    After a Restart, Sleep or just the awaking from Screensaver mode I’m disconnected from my wireless Network anymore.
    Even if the Computer was asleep for just a second!
    I am able to fix the problem temporarily with Network Preferences → Assist me → Diagnostics
    Choose Airport → Choose network → Enter Password (Even if I check safe password it’ll ask me every time) → and than usually all lights on the left menu switch from red to green and I get the popup message “A Network Change has been detected. Your Internet seems to work fine.” (similar - I’m at work and don’t remember exactly)
    And it works fine…until the screensaver comes on or it sleeps again
    I have the Problem with my IMac and Mini but the IMac at least remembers my password…
    Any Ideas
    I’m connected through a Buffalo WZR2-G300N wireless router

  • Apple TV 2G (Airplay and Homesharing) can only stream from devices on the same wireless access point range??

    connection:
    40 Mbps Fiber Broadband connection using:
    Devices:
    1. Main Modem/router (AP1): Huawei HG8245 (provided by ISP) - Wireless enabled.
    2. Remote Access point (AP2): Linksys/Cisco E3200 Wireless gigabyte router flashed with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (06/14/11) mini (Cascaded -wired- LAN to LAN from main modem).
    3. Wireless Repeater to cover a dead spot  (AP3): Linksys/Cisco E1000 wireless repeater.
    4. Apple Tv (AT2G) with home sharing/airplay enabled.
    5.( Ipad) with home sharing on itunes enabled.
    6. Win7 (PC) using iTunes with Home sharing enabled.
    all devices are updated to their latest firmware.
    In order to cover a large 3 story house with Wifi. I had (AP1) is located on the first floor, while (AP2) is located in the basement floor directly wired by LAN to LAN with (AP1). (AP3) is located on the Ground floor away from the living room to repeat wireless network into the back yard. While (AT2G) is located in the living room on the ground floor right in the middle of both (AP1) + (AP2) while connected via Wifi.
    Network SSID, security, passphrase and wireless settings of (AP2) are identical to (AP1) to create a single big LAN/WLAN roaming network where all devices connected to both wireless access points can find/share the others. As understood, it's refered to as bridging.
    I have noticed that my iphone/ipad does not show the airplay button anywhere within the wireless network. it seems that the apple TV randomly choses to connect to the AP with stronger signal, or switch to the other in case of a reboot to one of them.
    to elaborate further, if i was sitting in the living room (groundfloor), trying to airplay some you tube contents via Wifi to my Apple TV, i may not find the airplay button available all the time, i found out the reason is while i'm wirelessly connected to AP1, the Apple TV was connected to AP2 and both deviced cannot detect each others to enable my purpose. that goes the same for Home Sharing. only if my Ipad/PC and Apple Tv are on the same wireless AP. they would detect each others immediately.
    although, the second AP (AP2) is suppose to extend my wireless network of the same subnet in which any device connected can be found.
    After all sorts of trial and error tweaking my router/access point, I thought the problem would be due to the Linksys 3200 capability of bridging WLAN and lacks few protocols that enables my purpose. i have flashed the firmware to a DD-WRT, but again, problem was not solved.
    I have not tried having my Apple Tv wired to either router/AP, but i assume it may work well if i do so. i still need to solve this wireless connection issue though.
    Am i the only one with this problem, would there be something wrong with my setup? 
    Your feedback is highly appreciated.

    You may or may not already have your network set up correctly, it's just that I can't tell from what you have said.
    I have a main router provided by my ISP, I have several other Airport Extremes and Airport expresses connected by Ethernet, all set up to bridge the network created by the main router.
    Each maker has their own settings, but bridging should be reasonably obvious. In simple terms my main router distributes IP addresses to all devices, the Airports bridge that network by passing these addresses to the devices from the main router. A base station that isn't in bridging mode will distribute its own addresses to the devices connected to it.
    I don't really follow your next point.
    instruction for configuration vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, the best course of action here is to refer to the manual. If everything is set up properly the addresses of everything on your network will have identical sets of numbers for the first 3 of 4 groups of numbers that make up an address, the last set must always be different. I think the part you are referring to with your DD-WRT is the option to have Ethernet and wifi bridged or not.
    Some routers may be easier to configure than others, but generally speaking they should all work with the Apple TV. 5Ghz is less likely to suffer interference but it is much more likely to be blocked by solid objects, it may or may not be an advantage.

  • How to set-up Guest Client Wireless Access "PIN" with Restricted Access ???

    This is my first time, and, I am not familiar with the rules.
    Is it possible for someone to answer a slightly different question...
    I just bought a TC and hooked it up to my cable modem. I have 3 computers that I want to configure, with the following requirements: WPA/WPA2 security all around, only the 3 computers I have to be allowed use of the TC, and, no listing of the network should appear on remote computers (i.e., a "closed network"). With these basic needs, the three computers I want to be in this network are listed below --- subject to the following ACCESS limitations:
    1. A G4 iMAC (10.5.5), wired to the TC via an Ethernet cable: FULL ACCESS; i.e., shared file access, TM back-ups, HP printer access, internet access;
    2. A MacBook (10.5.5), airport wireless access to the TC: FULL ACCESS, as the iMAC.
    3. A (new generation) PC laptop: VERY LIMITED access --- access only to the internet, so that the TC looks only like a "wireless router." Internet access available at any time of the day or week. It would be good if this client did not have to use any of my passwords, just a "PIN." Also, I do NOT want this PC client to see my printer, and, also, to NOT see my TC base station and NOT have access to my TC/TM disks. To set this up, I entered the PC laptop name and the "MAC" address using the Airport Utility. Then, I selected the "PIN" choice for access, so that this client need not have to ever use or know of any of my passwords. After I selected the "PIN" option, the utility asked me to enter the PC client's PIN. How do I obtain the PC's PIN? This is very confusing to me, so, I apologize to you all (I'm very new at this).
    Hopefully, this TC-only network concern is within the guidelines to be answered.
    Thanks,
    David.

    Dear Smokerz,
    Well, this is where I'm confused. I did use the Airport Utility. I went to the place where it asks for the PIN number. So, I made up an 8-digit number and entered it. I assumed that after I entered the number, it would prompt me to do something with the PC. But, the "Continue" button did not become highlighted. Hence, my confusion. Can you please be more specific as to exactly what I should do using the Airport Utility? The detailed instructions are vague to me, unfortunately.
    Also, with respect to the PC Laptop: I only want it to have access to the internet via the TC (so that the TC acts as a wireless router). And, I want to set up restrictions for limited use of the PC: NO ACCESS to the HP printer, and NO ACCESS to the TM/TC (other than as a wireless router). As before, can you please be more specific as to exactly what I should do using the Airport Utility?
    I must be missing a trivial menu item, so, again, I apologize.
    Thank you,
    David.

  • How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

    The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
    If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.

  • Is it possible to remove the iphone history of wireless access points to which you've connected?

    So.... I work in a place where there is a lot of security and snooping.  There are folks specifically assigned to track down phones in unauthorized places.  Their enthusiasm is sometimes annoying.
    I leave my phone in a locker outside of the restricted area.  However, I recently overheard some of the "snoops" discussing a phone that they had found.  They were discussing a specific wireless access point that was in that phone's history, that caused some discussion.  Although the phone was located in the locker area, they had apparently discovered it and examined it.
    It was my phone.
    One obvious course of action is to make sure the phone is always turned off (which I will do), but they have now identified my phone by the APs to which I connect, and I'd like to erase that history.
    Is it possible?
    Thank you.

  • IOS 6.0.1 - Problems with certificate based authentication on wireless access point

    Hi all
    We are using iPad 2 as order terminals in our shops for about 5 months. Some of the iPads (the first who entered the field) started to cause problems now. These iPads are no longer able to keep long-term connection to the wireless access point in our stores. After selecting the SSID a successful authentication using the stored EAP-TLS certificate is performed (this can be seen in the log files of our wireless controller and by the IP adress that is given by DHCP). But within seconds the affected iPads opening up a captive portal page (empty, without contents) and separates the connection to the SSID after a short time again.
    Affected are currently only iPads 2 with iOS 6.0.1, which were staged about 5 months ago. The newer devices with iOS 6.1+ connect without problems and open no captive portal page. The first cases occurred on the last Wednesday. Before that everything worked without difficulty. No modifications took place on the security structure.  The numbers of affected devices increased until all iOS 6.0.1 were affected.
    Access to other SSIDs (without use of certificates, by entering a key) for the devices is still possible (the devices does not open an captive portal page). The DHCP scope is not used up, so there are enough IP addresses available.
    "Newer iPads" with an iOS of 6.1+ are are showing no problems on the same wireless access point, where the older devices are rejected. New and old devices use the same certificates and authentication mechanisms.
    In the analysis of the issue, it turned out that  the problem can be solved by an update to iOS 6.1.3. Subsequently, the iPads will be able to rebuild a connection with the access point, without a captive portal page.
    Since the bandwidth is very narrow dimensioned in our stores, the communication of the iPads was severely restricted. Thus, the iPads are for exampleare accessible for the APNS but can not find iOS updates or check for their availability.
    A comprehensive update to iOS 6.1.3 is currently excluded.
    Does anyone knows this issue? What else can be done (except from updating)?

    I will answer my own question in case it helps anyone else.
    It would "seem" the ios 6 devices try the proxy and if that is not working they resort to the def gateway.
    To Fix I did the following:
    Brocade WIFI network has IPS and Advanced Firewall rules that seemed to be tthwarting some traffic, the iphones would then try the default gateway and be blocked at the FW. 
    I disabled the IPS and the Advanced Firewall Settings on the wifi as they are redundant to our main IPS and firewall that all traffic flows through anyway.  I will tune it later, but when the CEO is demanding a fix "**** the security, full speed ahead"
    Created some rues on the firewall to allow...
    - IMAP-SSL (port993) outbound
    - SMTPS (port 465) to yahoo servers outbound
    - tcp port 587 to yahoo servers outbound
    - https to akamai servers
    Most http and https goes through the proxy as it should, BUT...
    It seems that the akamai traffic allways ignores the wifi proxy settings and just heads straight for the default gateway.  I suspect there is a bug in the icloud app? 
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • N800 no longer detecting any wireless access point

    The device is working fine couple days ago, then today when I turn it on, the "connection manager" can no longer see any wireless access point. Not only my home network, also
    my neighbor's wlan. My laptop can detect 10 networks
    around my house. I try upgrad my os to the latest version and it is still not working. Is anyone has similar experience ? Is it a hardware problem ? Any advice will be
    welcome.

    It happened to my N800 too just a couple of days ago after I installed a number of applications. I have already removed those applications but the N800 still would not detect the access points that it usually detects with no problem.
    It could not detect the WLAN inside our house even if the N800 was physically sitting on top of the router. It would intermittently detect my neighbor's WLAN (the one which I usually use) but it would not log on to it.
    I tried removing the battery hoping to reset it but nothing changed.
    It also would not connect to my PC via USB. The computer could not detect it. This one happened even before I installed those applications.
    Help!!!!

  • Can I disable my Verizon Fios Router Wireless radio, connect it to a switch and use my airport express as my wireless access point connected to an in wall ethernet port?

    Here's the deal.  I have a Verizon Fios MI424WR router.  My house has CAT5 throughout the house.  The media panel is located in the garage.  I want to take the Verizon Fios Router and cannot it in the media panel so I can connect a switch to it, that way, all my CAT5 can fire throughout the house. Verizon being Verizon decided to connect the router directly in the office. 
    Can I go this route (Router in media panel, switch cross connect to it) and use Airport Express, connected to one of the in-wall CAT5 ports in my house and then set it up as my wireless access point to provide wifi to my portable devices (iPad, iPhone, Macbook)?  Is this possible? Will Airport Express comminicate with my verizon router via ethernet in-wall? Do I have to turn off the wireless radio in the Verizon router?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    That is right, by hard wired I was just making clear wired vs wireless attachment.  AirPort family of devices will only act in a repeater mode with their own family members, not FiOS routers.  they have to be wired to work.
    There are some useful docs you can download from Apple, Support, Manuals, Peripherals, AirPort (just follow thos links from the Support button on the top bar):

    The last has a diagram of what you are trying to do, though without the house wiring, etc., but the basic principle.

  • USB Wireless Access Point

    My Touch works great from home where I can access my wireless network. However, we don't have a public wireless network. We do have a dozen machines connected to the internet that are outside the company firewall available for personal use. I'm wondering if there is a USB dongle type device that would allow me to wirelessly access the computer's internet access. Anyone aware of such a device and have suggestions for make and model?
    Thanks.

    You could buy an Airport Express and hook it up to the Ethernet cable connected to one of these PCs.

  • I can't get my macbook to access shared files on a windows computer when it's connected through a wireless access point.

    I recently bought a Netgear Wireless Access Point to use in the office so we can have a wireless network.  I configured the wireless network, and I am currently connected to the internet.  However, I no longer can access the shared files on the Windows computers like I could when I was hardwired in with an ethernet cable.  I've disabled all of the internal firewalls on all of the computers (and there's no firewall built into the WAP), all the computers are on the same workgroup, and I've tried accessing the computer with the shared files directly via the IP address using the instructions found here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8849.html. 
    My computer sees that the other computers on the network are there.  They show up in the network view from the finder.  However, when I try to connect to them, it tells me the connection failed.  When I click connect as, it says:
    "Connection Failed
    "The server “PC-ASSISTANT” may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    When I try to connect via the "connect to server" on the finder, I type in "smb://10.0.0.103/Word Processing"  It tells me:
    "There was an error connecting to the server “10.0.0.103”. Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.
    If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator."
    I have no clue what the problem is. I'm not really an IT person or a networking guru.  Can someone please help?
