10.4.7 wireless connect problem with wep security

I can no longer connect either my powerbook or powermac to either of my wireless access points if wep security is used. One router runs wpa, the other has to run wep because that's all the print server can do. To pin this down, I found that both computers can connect to an access point configured wpa. And both can connect if security disabled. But neither can connect with access point setup with wep. System preferences says connected to the internet, but it's not. Before 10.4.7 I could connect with no problems. Have two PCs running XP that continue to access wireless router using wep security. Anybody having this problem? And any suggestions??
Thanks

Assuming you have 3rd party wireless routers, have you checked the router manufacturer's website to see if a firmware update is available for the router models targeted at OS X users?
I'm using WPA2 personal with my AEBS at Home and my girlfriend uses WEP with her AEBS at her house and I've had no problems connecting to her wireless network and accessing the internet with 10.4.7.
She also uses WEP with a 3rd party wireless router at her condo on the coast and I've had no problems connecting there either.

  • Wireless connection problems with iTunes

    After installing iTunes for my PC(using Windows Vista if that matters). Directly after installing iTunes my wireless connection works. Once I start importing my music into iTunes I lose my wireless connection. I can still see the wireless networks but I can no longer connect to any of them.
    Does anyone know whats causing this problem. Once I deleted iTunes from my computer my networks started working properly again after rebooting. I tried to download it again and the same thing happened yet again. After deleting agin I am still unable to connect to my wireless conection.

    I just saw your post and I resolved this on mine for my wired connection. I'm willing to bet that the issue is the same for wireless. Here's what I found.
    Issue:
    During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
    Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
    Resolution:
    After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
    The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
    1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
    2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
    3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
    4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
    5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Reboot.
    Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot.

  • Problems with WEP Security?

    If you are having difficulty making a wireless connection to your home network, check whether you are using the WEP security method with Shared Key authentication. These HP wireless printers do not support this security method, which is the least secure of the methods available. If you are unable to connect for this reason, the printer will indicate that the problem may be caused by MAC address filtering, which is misleading. To correct this problem, configure your wireless router to use one of the following supported security methods, all of which are superior to WEP/Shared:
    ·  WEP key encryption using either Auto or Open authentication
    ·  WPA
    ·  WPA2
    Changing your router configuration from WEP/Shared to either WEP/Auto or WEP/Open while using the same WEP key, will allow most other wireless devices on your network to connect without your having to change their configurations. However, you might take this opportunity to update your security to WPA or WPA2 which are both far more secure than WEP. If you change your security type from WEP to WPA or WPA2, you will need to reconfigure all other wireless devices that connect to your network with the new settings. 
    After changing your router's security method, before attempting to connect your HP printer wirelessly, we recommend that you either restore network defaults from the printer’s control panel or turn the printer power off and then on again.

  • Wireless Connection Problem with Laserjet Pro MFP M126nw (HELP) :(

    I have Laserjet Pro MFP M126nw just bought it last day.
    Everthing working fine but i can't able to connect it to my wireless router via WPS PushButton or PIN tried both many times but failed.
    I also reset my Router even changed the security level to 
    ·  WEP key encryption using either Auto or Open authentication
    ·  WPA and
    ·  WPA2
    Tried many times but it says connection failed on the LCD Display.
    I have Linksys WRT120N wireless router.
    Please help its urgent!

    Hi @AjayKareer, 
    I understand that you are unable to setup the printer on the wireless network. I can help you with this.
    Make sure the network name doesn't have any spaces or special characters. The printer won't recognize it.
    Restore the printer defaults.
    On the printer control panel, press the Setup button.
    Press the Right Arrow, to select the Network Setup, and then press OK.
    Press the Right Arrow, to select the Restore Defaults, and then press OK.
    I have provided a document with some steps for setting the printer up on the network.
    Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network.
    Configure the wireless by a Ethernet connection if the issue persists.
    Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address.
    Printing a Configuration Report.
    Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page.
    Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
    Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in the password and type of Encryption if you have this setup or Open for no password. Apply settings.
    Then disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    Then wait a minute to see if you get a wireless light on the printer, print the configuration page and check the IP address again. Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page. That way you will know that the printer is now networked.
    Then run the installation.

  • Satellite P100-434: Wireless connection problem with Vista

    Just purchased this laptop with Vista and so far have been unable to get the wireless to connect, I have 3 other computers and they will all connect, I have reset the router and set new accounts on all the other computers with no problem, but unable to do this on the P100.
    Tried the new RADAR feature and this will not pick any networks up, but when trying to establish new connection it shows that a wireless network is available but is unnamed, although my network is named, I have taken the passkey off the network so that it is open but still will not connect into it, LAN via ethernet works fine.
    Wireless switch is on, but when I slide it to off wireless switch status says ON

    Hi
    I cannot give you an exactly answer why you cannot connect to you WLan with the Vista because there are so many options which must be checked.
    But I think you will find the solution yourself with a little help from Microsoft website.

  • Pixma MX430 Wireless Connectivity Problems with Mac OSX 10.9.4

    My Pixma MX430 suddenly refuses to connect wirelessly to my Mac running OSX v 10.9.4. I was able to fiddle with settings and nudge it to work but it now steadfastly refuses to play ball. I have no CD drive incidentally. I would be grateful for any suggestions as I need to print and scan documents urgently.
    Many thanks for your help. 
    Jenny

    USB 3.0 is an international standard. Yes, it's compatible with OS X 10.9.x
    Reviews on Amazon from other iMac users have been positive.
    Just like with USB 2 hubs, some devices aren't happy sharing.
    I can't tell for sure it's the hub's fault. You need to try other combinations of connection.

  • Wireless Connectivity Problem with B210A

    I've got a B210A and I'm having some issues trying to get either my PC or laptop to connect wirelessly to the printer.
    Both have been set up wirelessly before and now neither want to connect.
    My PC is running Windows 7 64-bit and the laptop is Window 7 32-bit.
    The wireless network test report shows no problems but when I try to connect using the HP installation program, the printer cannot be found. Even when it asks to enter the IP address manually on the installation, the printer still can't be found.
    Has anyone got any ideas as to what I can do to solve this?

    Disable AVG altogether and try again.  Was AVG in place and active when you installed the HP software (it should have been so the installer could configure it).

  • Wireless connectivity problems using IOS 6.0.2?

    After installing IOS 6.0.2 on my iPhone 5 I can no longer connect to known wireless sites.  I've been through troubleshooting with both Apple and my ISP and no luck.  I'm thinking there's wireless connectivity problems with this latest update (my iPad 3 is still running 6.0.1 and is fine on my wireless network). Are others having this issue as well?

    I am not guaranteeing this fix , but it worked for me , so far. I have an iphone 5 and it had ios 6.0.1 . Worked fine. Upgraded to 6.0.2 and it wouldn't connect with home router most of the time. My son in law an IT guy for the Government came up with a solution. The problem seemed most likely with routers that are bought and not configured and retain the original factory settings. Therefore my phone considers my home network a generic one and I have to manually connect to it. To distinguish the network we did the following.
    1) went to settings on my iphone
    2) choose "my home network" by pushing the arrow on the right
    3) This brought up the network info page. (it says "forget this network " at the top)
    4)DHCP will probably be highlighted.
    5) touch "static"
    6) This will bring up the manual settings
    7) We entered the following.
    For Ip Address 192.168.1.15
    Subnet Mask  255.255.255.0
    Router 192.168.1.1
    DNS 4.2.2.1,4.2.2.2,8.8.8.8
    Leave the HTTP Proxy to off
    This will assign a static Ip address not a dynamic one and should work.
    If it doesn't , go back to step 3 and select DHCP and return to the dynamic state .

  • Connecting Wirelessly to Internet with WEP

    I have gone through the forum but can't really tell if any of the answers will solve my problem. My roommate has a wireless network set up with his PC, Airport finds it and I entered the WEP password and it connects to the network but the internet doesn't connect. I can connect an ethernet cable and the internet works fine. How do I get the wireless internet to work? I have had similiar problems with WEP passwords at other locations as well, like unable to connect or error. WPA works fine.
    Thanks

    Hello PGmacrookie. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.

  • My Telus wireless only works with WEP, but if I switch to WEP the wireless goes down on the other Windows computer being used in the same house.  Is there a way for both of us to get wireless internet or do one of us have to be connected by the ethernet?

    My Telus wireless only works with WEP, but if I switch to WEP, the wireless on the other computers in the house (which is Windows and WPA) stops working. My computer works with the ethernet cord but I want to be wireless too!  Do one of us have to sacrifice our wireless?

  • Wireless connection problems - Airport extreme card

    Hi, I've just fitted an Airport extreme card to my PB 15" Aluminium and, in order to connect to the net via my third party wireless modem / router. The modem is provided by my ISP - T-Net, (Germany) and is a Speedport W501V and am having major dramas trying to connect wirelessly! I can connect via the built in ethernet port. but for can't with the airport card. The instructions for the modem are all in german, which is fair enough since I've just moved here, but isn't helping me try to sort out the connectivity problems 'cos I dont speak the language. I suspect that there are password issues or that the network settings are incorrect, the modem is definately 802.11 b/g compliant and i've been given a password that is 8 figures long - not the 5, 13, 10 or 26 figures that the apple support articles state for ASCII / HEX passwords respectively. After 3 days of trying I'm going mad! has anyone got any solutions / suggestions please.

    It sounds like a WEP issue.
    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • Connectivity problems with Windows 7

    I have connectivity problems with a Windows 7 machine. It's just lose the wireless connection from time to time, usualy "forgeting" Default Gateway. Any ideas? Please not the same machine did work very well on previus router: the problems did start after I installed Time Capsule as the main gateway. Thanks a lot.

    Make sure you setup the TC with SMB compliant names.. short .. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
    Use fixed channels.. not auto. Set a different name for 5ghz so it doesn't get mixed up between bands.
    Check you have the latest drivers for the particular wireless card in the PC.. eg if a laptop don't download drivers from the laptop manufacturer.. get the ones from the wireless card.

    Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.
    Bought my girlfriend the newest Macbook Pro 13" and began experiencing problems with my wifi the moment we got home. Her Macbook would not connect to our home Wi-Fi while my old Macbook Late 2008 running Snow Leopard connected without a problem. Airport would say that it had a Self-Assigned IP address (168.x.x.x). Did not realize it was a Lion problem until after using her Macbook Pro and becoming jealous of the new OSX, I upgraded. Soon after I was unable to go online. Luckily I had my iPad 2 and I began to scoure the net for help. Ran into allot of suggestions but it was not until I tried the following all together was I able to share the good new, from my Macbook. Hope this works:
    First go to Preferences > Network and click on the cog next to the + and - on the sidebar and click Set Service Order
         - Move Wi-Fi to the top and click ok.
         - Set location to Automatic
         - Click Apply
         - Click Advanced
         - Click the "-" on the selected Wi-Fi router you wish to connect to
         - Click Apply
         - Click Lock to Prevent Further Changes
    Go to your Mac's harddrive, (Macintosh)
         - Go to Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration >
         - Delete "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" file
    Turn off your computer
         - push and hold Option+Command+R+P
         - turn on computer
         - when the grey screen turns on you will hear the OS X "ON" sound (for lack of a proper term) and it will momentarily restart.
         - you will once again hear the "ON" sound, let go of all keys.
         - this resets your PRAM
    Go to Preferences > Network > Advanced > + sign
         - click Choose a Network
         - Select your network and enter password
    Viola!!! I tried this on my Macbook Late 2008 and my girlfriends new Macbook Pro 2010

         No you are clearly mistaken. The Self-Assigned IP address problem exists on many Macbook Pro models, including the current model, which I mentioned as being the original computer with the problem. While my 2008 Macbook is older it was working perfectly on Snow Leopard and didn't suffer issues until switching to Lion. So clearly the problem exists on the operating system and not so much the hardware.
         I called Apple Support  and they had no fix for the problem and told me that this would hopefully be addressed in a subsequent update. It wasn't until I came accross the answer after trying many different methods that I got both of the Macbooks to connect to my router. Otherwise I wouldn't or could not have been surfing the internet for the last 4 months.
    Cheers.
