10.4.10 connectivity with secure network, 2wire router

It's obvious in the forums that the 10.4.10 update is causing some wireless connectivity problems in secure networks like my SBC DSL connection that uses a 2Wire modem/router combo. Kernel panic every 5 minutes or so with multi-lingual message prompting for hard restart by pushing the power button displayed enormously on-screen about the size of a can lid. Pretty outrageous I'd say!
So I decided to go with a clean install of OS X and decline upgrade to 10.4.10 and now it seems to be working fine again.
My question: Has mac released any kind of statement regarding this because I am yet to witness one. Should we expect mac to make the appropriate changes or should we seek our ISPs for support?

would it just be possible to use my 2wire as a regular DSL modem with some other router? Would that help? Should I find a new ISP? Should I hope for an update from apple? It appears to only be affecting 2wire routers, or possibly other secure gateways...

Impossible connecting with wireless network Netgear WNR 2000

I can not log on to my wireless network (Netgear WNR 2000) with my macbook. My other PC:s work fine and connect always. My Macbook only connect after I have restarted the router. When I use my Macbook in other places I can connect with wireless network. What is the problem?

I'm assuming that you're using the right network password! After that, the most common causes of difficulty are:
- The router not set up for DHCP and so cannot allocate an IP address to the MacBook
- The router has "MAC" Address Authentication (a security feature - don't mistake MAC for Mac[intosh]) turned on and the AirPort MAC address isn't in the pass list.
- The default "Automatic" location in System Preferences > Networks has been modified so that it no longer works.

Very poor connection with wifi network with mini iPad.

I recently bought à new mini iPad. The connection with wifi network is lost very often and therefor not Stable. I tried the tips such as forgetting the network and connecting again, but that doesn't help. What can I do?

Do #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

No connection with mobile network

My phone (which was bought only 2 days ago) has suddenly lost connection with mobile network. "Emergency calls only" is written on lock screen, near signal power bar there is a small red 'x'. I tried turning it off and on, tacking sim card out and putting it back in, trying to connect to mobile network manually through the settings "Service providers" (it says "Could not connect to network now. Please try again later." when I try to connect manually), changing network mode (to all possible modes). Still no luck. I can't send an sms or make a call.
What should I do?

I got similar issue but the only thing is phones randomly disconnects itself from the mobile network in some days. Then no matter you manually search for the network and try registering, it simply wont connect to any network.Your only solution is to reset the phone or turn off and on and it again auto catches your operator.

K210 will not connect to secured network

My Lenovo K210 system running Vista will not connect to a secured wireless network. I added a Tenda, and Netgear USB wifi stick as well as a Rosewell PCI card (removing each before proceeding to the next element.). It will see the secured network, and will allow for input of the PSK key, but it will not connect saying "Windows cannot connec tto <SSID>" with "Diagnose the problem" or "connect to another network". Diagnose the problem results the same. I end up connecting to an unsecured router I have set up on an old broadband connection. The PCI adapter will handle WEP, WPA and WPA2.
Is there something that could be changed to allow for connection to a secured network?
Thank you,
WIlliam

It sees the network, there is no error message just showing the circular emblem and not the check next to the network. I do not know about other networks since I am at home and just started this morning. I can connect to my MacBook Pro with Bluetooth.

Connecting with secure wireless

Hi, this is my 1st venture with an apple computer but I seem to have hit a wall already.
I am using a wireless G unbranded router that is secured by a 10 digit WEP passcode, it can also be set up to use WPA but I had trouble with the vista laptop that connects to the network using WPA, there is also an XP laptop which will connect using either. I believe the WEP is only 64 bit so I'll try upping it to 128 and see what happens. For information there are 3 laptops that need to connect all with different operating systems, OSX, XP & Vista.
The problem is my MBP doesn't like the secured connection, it will connect wirelessly if the connection is unsecured or it will connect via ethernet so I know it can communicate with the router.
If I secure the connection by WEP then it says connection failed or if I do it by WPA then it says connection timed out, at no time does it have trouble seeing the network.
Does anyone know what i need to do to get it working. I believe the WEP is only 64 bit so I'll try upping it to 128 and see what happens but does anyone else have any other ideas?
Many thanks
James

Right I am very pleased to say that I am typing this on my secured wireless connection, I could go on about how much I'm loving the laptop but I'm sure you already know.
I have noticed that when I reboot or put it to sleep that when it comes back on it won't connect again, it says that none of my prefered networks are available but when I click connect it remembers the key but states login failed. In order to connect I use the assist function then diagnostics, select airport, select my network, it then asks if my network is PPPoE or DHCP, I select DHCP, then it scans and states that the connection appears to be working correctly and I'm able to use the net.
I have to do this everytime, I have updated to the latest software available for everything but it's made no difference. Is there anything that I am doing wrong?
Thanks again

Netgear router won't let me connect with a network my new roomates use

I have had this problem before connecting to wireless networks, although not all of them. I just moved in with a friend who gave me the network name and password. Although my powerbook G4 sees her network, it shows an error message when i try to connect with the password. She set up the Netgear (WGT624 v3) router using her DELL and everyone else in the house (using PC's) don't have this problem. I'm wondering if we need to go through what she has set up on her computer, because I must have tried everything on mine! Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Hi tracie,
thats OK I know how hard wi-fi is to setup, I've spent many hours in the past trying to figure out how to set mine up! Its usually the simplest of things.
Your MAC address or Airport ID (as Apple call it) is a string of a series of 6 two digit numbers/letters separated by a colon e.g. 00:2b:35:18:af:32
This identifies your Airport card on a network & your address can be viewed in System Pref.s/Network, then from the drop down "Show" menu choose "Airport" & then click the Airport tab that appears in the row of buttons & you should see your Airport card's MAC address (Airport ID). But if you cant find that option don't worry about it.
While your in Network Sys Pref click show port config. & drag the Airport entry to the top of the list.
If you do try WEP again, go to router's
Wireless Settings > Wireless network
& insure the Mode is set to "g and b" just incase.
Then > Security Options & click WEP.
Then in > Security Encryption > Authentication type
set to Shared key
Also > Encryption Strength
set 128bit
After that go down to > Security Encryption (WEP) Key
in Passphrase enter your new password & click the Generate button on the right - this will bring up your HEX key in the checked "Key" box below.
write this new generated key down & click Apply & log out.
Now on your PB open the Airport network entry window, change top box from "WEP Password" to "WEP 40/128-bit HEX"
Then enter the generated key you wrote down into the box below, & click ok/join.
Keep 'em crossed & you "should" join.

Loose wireless connection with security turned on

I am able to get a wireless connection when the wireless network has no security enabled. But when the security is turned on - using WEP or WPA (TKIP) - I can no longer get a connection. The error message says that the password is not correct (however it is).
Of note: I have another G4 (aluminum 1.33 GHz) running the same version of OS X that does not have a problem connecting with the security turned on.
I have the same problem at home or with other wireless networks that require passwords.
At home I have a linksys wireless router.
Thanks!
1 GHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

i have a very similar situation to yours... my airport cannont get an IP address from any wireless network with security enabled. if it is completely open, it will lock in and get an IP address and everything is fine, but with ANY kind of security enabled, it wont get an IP and gives me the standard "169...." addresses. If i turn off security on a given base station, the machine will suddenly get an IP address, so I know this is a problem with the machine and not the router as other wifi devices connect to the router fine.
I've tried using standard WEP, WPA, and also MAC-address security and i get the same problem across all of them. Ive tried this with about 5 different routers, 3 linksys, 1 netgear and one dLink.

For a LAN network in my office, all laptops are Windows based and the internet is through LAN and other computer get connected with adhoc without the router. My Apple computer nor my iPhone 5 get connected. How do I connect to this Internet?

In the office, All my colleges use Windows laptops. The Internet connection is out of LAN wire installed in one of the computers. Others use Internet by creating adhoc connection. However none of the apple products are being able to connect to this connection.How can i connect my MacBook Pro or iPhone 5 to this Internet network?

Just how is the one computer connecting to the internet? What type of connection does the office have, DSL, Cable or is it a Data connection through a Cell phone provider.
I doubt all other computer are doing Ad-Hoc but are probably Sharing the Internet connection with Internet Connection Sharing from that one Windows base PC.
All you khave to do is Connect to that same WiFi SSID name and have the correct password for it.

Connectivity with TMobile Network- 9110 Communicat...

I have an old Nokia 9110 which once l charged the batteries works. However when l did a network search it only recognised O2 and Vodaphone. Here is a challenge to all you boffins out there - why is this? Is their a fix?
If so how do l achieve connectivity?
Richard

I used to have one of these.
The Nokia 9110 only supports GSM 900mhz networks, not 1800/1900mhz.
Internet access is via dailup at 9600/14400bps (CSD/ISDN v110/v120 was added with the 9210) - check the internet dailup number with your network service provider.
9110's can have the memory corrupted if a reboot or power less occuring during file updates.
This is fixed by a format and restore from Backup.
Install a 'reboot' program if needed, otherwise you will end up removing the battery.
A common fault is the battery block falling off - so do not remove it unless it's essential.
9110 used it's own version of PC Suite.

Mac not connecting with PC network

I'm attempting to connect my Mac to a wireless internet network through a PC. The PC is connected through Qwest with a D-link router. The PC connection is working fine.
The Mac sees the network and requests a password. I type the password, but nothing happens.
I don't know what other information to provide here.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forums Lewis!
Try putting a dollar sign in front of the Password, and make sure its 5 or 13 digits if WEP.

Can't establish internet connection with NAT network in Oracle virtualbox

Hi all,
I am new to Oracle virtualbox. I have created a new virtual machine with Oracle linux 5.5 (64bit). I have enabled the NAT networking adaptor so as to access internet connection from the VM. But I am not able to do so.
Here are the network settings in the VM
1. Automatically obtain IP address settings with DHCP
2. Firewalls are disabled.
The 'eth0' device shows active status. The #ifconfig command lists "inet address" as 10.0.2.15.
Please let me know if any additional configuration is required for establishing the internet connection in the VM.

The NAT engine of Virtualbox automatically provides a router between the network interface of your host system and the virtual network interface of your guest OS and offers the same DNS servers to the guest that are configured on the host.
For more information how it works, see http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_nat.
The problem you are experiencing is most likely with the network configuration of your host system.

IPad will not connect with extended network and/or guest network

I have extended my main network (AP Extreme) with an AP Express and uses a guest network too, all Macs, PC's, iPhones, game consoles, mediaplayers can connect to the internet with both networks. Only one device does not work with the main network and that is the iPad (1st gen). It can connect to the guest network, though. If i disconnect the Express, the iPad can connect with the main network or if I set the guest network to off it will too. But I want to connect to the main network (remote access).
Device.                          Network.          iPad internetconnection
Extreme.                        Main.               Yes
Extreme + Express.       Main.               Yes
Extreme.                        Main + guest    Yes both
Extreme + Express.       Main + guest.   NO
I have reset the network configurations on the iPad and it works for only one time, if the iPad goes into sleep mode and restarts, the connections is lost. The iPad seems to be connected with the router/AP but no internet access.
Fyi
- all devices have a fixed IP address dedicated by the Airport. i tried to use DHCP, but no difference
- radio channels on automatic
- all on 2,4 GHz band
IS THIS A IPAD 1 ISSUE and do I have to accept the fact that Apple does not support the iPad 1 anymore?
Any suggestions how to fix this? Thank you.

Thank you for the suggestion.
The name of my home wifi network is automatically found by the iPad and after I select it the iPad asks for a password. I have typed in my password that I use with my laptop, but it does not work.
I also tried the two alpha numeric 13 digit strings on my router. It is actually a Belkin. Neither of those worked either.
finally, I went into general as I could not find settings to tell the iPad to forget network settings?

Losing connection when securing network

I'm running vista on desktop and xp on wireless laptop. Wireless works fine until I try making network secure. When I secure it, i can no longer access it from my laptop. Should I be doing special in my laptop??

Make sure that you have WEP Security on your router if you have XP on Wireless Laptop as sometimes WPA does not work on XP...
