10.5.3 Update Wireless Issues (WiFi, Wireless)

Hi there,
I see several posts regarding networking issues with the +Mac OS 10.5.3 Update+, but have not seen one describing my exact issue.
After updating my 15" MacBook Pro (2.33GHz) with the +Mac OS 10.5.3 Update+ via +Software Update+, I had no problem connecting to and using my home and office networks (AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme, respectively).
At a third location however, I connect to a Netgear MR814v2 802.11g router which shares a Comcast Cable Modem. Wired into the router are two computers, an X-Box (or some sort of gaming console) and a Vonage VoIP box. Wirelessly connected are generally 1 - 4 Macs. Two are running Mac OS 10.4.11 and two are running Mac OS 10.5.2.
After performing the +Mac OS 10.5.3 Update+, all devices on the network loose their connection to the internet whenever my machine attempts to connect to the router. On my machine, I'll see that I'm connected to the router but I'll have a self assigned IP address.
Resetting only the router does not solve the problem.
Resetting the Comcast Cable Modem solves the problem of the other devices on the network loosing their internet connection (at least until I attempt another connection), but still does not allow me to successfully connect.
Deleting AirPort as a type of network connection and re-adding it in the Network pane of the +System Preferences+did not solve the problem
Thanks!

is what makes me think the issue is in your Netgear or Comcast router, not with Mac OS X 10.5.3.
But more to the point, Comcast's routers generally will only issue four IP addresses via DHCP, and if you want to connect more devices than that you need to have your home router setup to create a NAT network locally. That's where your router receives an IP address from your Comcast router, but then the Netgear creates its own network via ethernet and wireless and all packets are translated to and from the Internet through it.
I presume you've also tried the various suggestions at the Netgear MR814v2 troubleshooting page?
Also, you state you have a "MR814v2 802.11g" router, but the MR814v2 is 802.11b only

Broadcom 4328 Wireless Issues

Heres my specs. Windows XP SP3, using boot camp, newest boot camp update.
Issue: My wireless has not performed properly since my purchase. My connection is intermitant, constantly disconnecting. Sometimes I'll be fine for days, other times I disconnect 4 - 5 times within a minute. I thought it was my router or something but my OSX side works perfect, along with other hardware. I also started getting Blue Screens of Death related directly to the driver for my Broadcom 4238 wireless adapter. This seems to be a common unsolved problem, and I have searched the internet for a possible fix. I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a solution or Apple has done anything about this. I've called Apple but they seem to not know boot camp even exists.

I have had wireless issues sense Leapord, any fixes yet? its a shame that my wife has to sit in front of our 27 inch imac on a $300 Windows computer to use the web effectively. I have tried all fixes and some work while others don't but all temporary

This Lion wireless issue has become more than just an irritation, so much so, my wife has resorted to sitting in front of a 27 inch imac with a 300 dollar Walmart Windows computer to get the bills paid and use the web. And yes, there is not a fix out there I haven't tried over the last year or so, some worked and some didn't, but all were temporary at best. Same issue with my Macair, I wonder if its a hardware issue, like the video card in my 2006 MBP, it went out after the warrenty and then I found out there was a calss action suit going on over it, unfortunately Apple wouldn't cover it and wanted 7oo bucks to fix it, sold that as parts.
While i really like me Macs, I own three, I may have to bow out and stick with LINUX, that has yet to let me down, anyone know if Mountain will fix this issue? or are we all just waiting for defective WiFi cards to fail at our own expense, PS, got three Macs for sale.

Sounds like you're getting kernel panics, which are usually, but not always, caused by hardware problems, with memory being one of the regular culprits.
First thing I would do is to get our your original OS X disks, insert the first one (should say 'AHT version x.x' in small print on the label - if not, find the one that does), and reboot holding the Alt key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted, choose the extended test. If you have either of the TechTool programs, they can do similar testing. Does that identify any hardware issues?
Next, I'd download rember from http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/ . This is a memory testing program that you can set to run overnight. Does it come up with any errors? If so, try resetting your memory card(s) by removing and putting back into the computer. Rerun memory test.

Latest Maverick update issues for wireless connection

I just did the update and now my wireless network won't connect and my mouse is skipping around some. Anyone having this problem and if so, how do you correct it?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Wireless issues continue after the (I assume 10.9.2. update).
There are a variety of actions that seem to help for different users... AFAIK no "sure fire" fix. You don't have to try them all at once. Try a few things and see if there's any change.

Wireless Issues after 10.4.7 update

Hi all,
My wireless connection was solid since the day I bought my Macbook Pro. I had profiles connecting to my wireless router at home and my work wireless points at work. When I recently updated my system to 10.4.7, I have had some issues with my wireless.
Sometimes when I start my mac up, login, etc, the wireless icon in the system tray will flicker, and I have no connection to my wireless. If I disable and enable the Airport device, sometimes it just starts working. Sometimes I have to reboot the system to make it work. If the icon does not flicker, it works fine, when it gets into that state where it doesn't work, the icon flickers.
Anyone else having these issues?
Macbook Pro 15" 1.83GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1Gb RAM

I also had some dropped connections over my wireless
router at home (Linksys router) after the 10.4.7
install. I have a MBP 15" W8617xxxx. Connection was
good for a few minutes at a time. Then I had to
restart AirPort.
For me, I had installed some other apps about the
same time as 10.4.7, so I uninstalled them, repaired
permissions, installed the Combo 10.4.7 and now
everything seems okay.
I don't know if it was the new apps, or the Combo
install, or repair permissions, or ?
Hope that helps. Good luck.
=================
SDDave,
i have been reading a lot of postings regarding the issues with wireless after the 10.4.7 update.
i also have a linksys wireless router and have identical problems with you. i am sure many of us do as well.
you said you managed to install the 10.4.7 combo and everything seems to work properly now? if so, would you be kind enough to give me detail steps on how to install the 10.4.7 combo file
1. do we get the combo 10.4.7 from the apple site?
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosxupdate1047comboppc.html
2. what steps do we need to install this file?
please please help us out to provide detail steps to do this. i know some of us here are not as comfortable doing it without some help.
i would appreciate if anyone else would help out beside sddave.
thank you in advance. i can't wait to install this combo update to resolve this connection issue.

Wireless Issue

Hi, I'm having what is turning out to be a common issue for iPod Touch users after the 3.1.1 update. I have a 1G 32gb iPod Touch that is no longer able to sustain connections to any wireless network since I updated to 3.1.1. I didn't want to post earlier (because I wanted to try all the solutions I have seen posted here and elsewhere first) but I'm hoping the intelligensia here can help me with this problem.
Wireless issue: When I try to log on to any network with my touch, it will either not connect automatically at all (although it can certainly see the network - the SSID is broadcast at least in my home), or it will automatically appear to be connected, but no data can be downloaded from the network - there is only the "cannot download from server" message (in Mail) and a neverending "connecting..." circle (in Safari and most other apps).
I have my router running a mixed network, with WPA encryption, with the latest firmware and still nothing but the impression that the touch has detected the network but can't log on. Sometimes there seems to be a short period where it is able to download something (i.e. I will get an email in my inbox that consists of a title only, with the message "content not downloaded from server") but this is fleeting (less than 5-10 seconds at a time).
I have cycled, restarted, restored and upgraded the firmware on my router (both with and without security) and nothing seems to have helped on this end, and other computers, both Mac and PC, are able to log on to this network.
I have renewed the lease of the network, reset the network settings, disabled-enabled the WiFi, restored the iPod and performed every trick on the touch that I can think of or read about here. Nothing helps. I am not having the problem in terms of sensing reduced sensitivity to networks that some people here are mentioning, but I am not able to log on to any network I've tried (so far, 3 private, 5 commercial).
I don't want to assume its some kind of technical problem with update 3.1.1, but that's the only thing I can think of, with all of the similar complaints posted around the net and the fact that this wasn't an issue a few weeks ago.
Does anyone wiser than I am have any useful suggestions?

THis Wireless Issue is a Head Scratcher

As some know, I bought 2 Macbooks in Dec '06 and was experiencing all sorts of wireless issues early on. Dropped connections, SLOW transfer speeds while networked to my Imac, etc.
At some point Netgear released new firmware for the 824, and all seemed right in the wireless world for at least 2 months.
No issues with OS updates or airport updates, it seemed.
Al of a sudden last week, I went back to the extremely slow speed when networked from the macbook (wireless) to the iMac G4 800 (wired) and nothing so far will fix it.
The wireless transfer happens in 500K packets and a 4 meg file takes 4 minutes to transfer. Yet if I plug in the ethernet cable to the macbook - it works as it should.
What I can't figure out is what happened to make this annoying issue return out of the blue.
I am also back to slow page loads via Safari and page hangs.
Of course I have rebooted the router -
I can't figure out why for at least 2 months everything worked perfectly after months of sub par wireless performance and then back to **** - with everything back to sub par except not dropping connection anymore.
Thoughts?

I think the first thing I'd check for is if some source of interference returned after a few months of absence. I have a 2.4 GHz cordless phone that will nuke my 2.4 GHz WiFi connections - but only sometimes - when the phone happens to pick a channel that coincides with my WiFi. It could well be that a phone in your neighbor's house gets on your channel, and if the the phone doesn't experience any trouble may sit on your WiFi channel for a long time. In my case, my Panasonic phone bothers the WiFi, but the WiFi never bothers the phone.
The other thing you might want to look for is how many IP packets are being discarded by your Mac's network interface. You can do that my opening a terminal window and doing "netstat -s | more" The -s option gets you a rather extensive list of Ethernet statistics. What you want to look for is anything related to retransmitted packets. If you are experiencing more than a 1% IP packet loss, Ethernet performance can degrade rather ungracefully. (Note, I'm talking about layer 3 and above IP packets). It isn't unusual for 15-20% frame loss at layer 2 in the WiFi connecdtion.
There are a lot of variables here, and it is difficult to give you an answer that would be a one-step magic pill. There could be several problems at once. The best test would be: does one computer have lousy web page load times over WiFi, but the other computer has quick web access.
If both computers are having problems loading web pages, then there is something wrong with the router and/or WiFi interference. If just one computer has poor performance, then you need to look at the software on that computer.
Best wishes for finding it.

If you have a Blue Screen / Error due to Wireless issues (B110a), fix in here.

For the original thread created by somebody else, please see here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-and/B110a-network-connection-problem/m-p/319...
Here's a youtube video of what happened to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adE1kq36ld4
I'm reposting it here so it can hopefully help some of you guys if anybody else stumbles across this. In short, my printer was fresh out of the box and I attempted to connect it to the wireless network. It would throw a blue screen on the LCD with an error of B8126AD6.
I narrowed it down to an issue with DHCP. For some reason the printer connects to the wireless access point but as soon as it tries to get an IP address from the DHCP server it crashes with that blue screen and the error code in the first post above. This look like a massive bug in the printers firmware! For reference my router is a Billion 7401VGPR3 which is acting as my default gateway and DHCP server. I have a Linksys WRT54G as my Access Point for the house.
To solve it, I turned DHCP off on my router and then tried connecting the printer to the wireless network. This time it connects fine but you still can't talk to it because it doesn't have a proper IP address. If it still doesn't connect properly, try turning WPA/WPA2/WEP off on your Access Point. Leave it completely open for a moment until you can reach the web interface (as below).
To fix the IP issue, I then went into the Settings menu on the printer and printed the "HP Network Configuration Page". Note that under the Wireless menu option there are a couple of different "Print Network Test Page" options. I believe it's the 2nd one that I selected. You'll know you have the right one when it prints out the page with the following info:
IPv4 IP Address
Subnet Mask
Hostname
Default Gateway
Primary DNS
etc, etc.
Take note of the IP Address from the printout above and the Subnet Mask. My IP was 169.254.73.5 and subnet mask 255.255.0.0. Now I manually configured my computers IP address to be similar (within the same subnet): 169.254.73.10 with the same subnet mask.
Now you can load up the web interface of the printer using http://169.254.73.5 in my case. (You should also be able to ping the printer at this point too). In here you have a Network tab where you can now manually set the IP Address of the printer. Set the address you want it to be in your network (in my case 192.168.0.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.0.1 and dns server 192.168.0.1).
Once I clicked OK I changed my PC's IP back to normal, and I can now reach the printer on its IP address set above. YAY!
The great thing is, in the web interface you get a million more options to play with. You can manually set the IP address, gateway, DNS, wireless settings such as WPA1/WPA2 AES/TKIP Encryption, WPA Passkey, etc. So if you had to set the Access Point to completely Open, setup the encryption again and put the passkey in here. When I did this I had to go back into the Settings menu on the printer LCD and select "Disable Wireless" then "Enable Wireless" to force it to re-join the network.
Finally I went into the Settings menu again and Updated the software on the printer. I don't know if the new software fixes the bug or not - I haven't tested it (can't be bothered!).
Hopefully this will help some of you guys out there too!
EDIT: I've just stumbled across another couple of posts with similar results to mine:
- http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/How-to-install-Photosmart-B109n-z-on-a-...

Many thanks to gardz for an exhaustive overview on this critical problem with the B110a printer!
I am happy to report that I have managed to set the printer to a static IP and am now able to connect to it wirelessly from my home computers, and also able to use the web apps and ePrint features on the printer. The printer shows the IP address and I am able to use the EWS (Embedded Web Server) to connect to its IP address from my PC's internet browser. The Wireless Network Test Report also showed no problems. I have also completed the Product Update on the printer, and there are no more pending updates now.
However, the core wireless problem is still not satisfactorily resolved.
I get the BSOD and blinking-lights error ("Please turn off printer and then on"), only if I start the printer when Wireless is enabled on the printer. If wireless is disabled prior to printer boot, there is no error.
The workaround I have adopted for now, is to always switch off the printer's wireless, before switching off the printer, and enabling the wireless setting only when I need to print/scan.
Is this happening with anyone else? Why would the printer crash if it boots with wireless enabled? If it is already set to a static IP, why would it still conflict with the DHCP on the router?
My router is perfectly working, it is in the same room as the printer, so the signal strength is good. The printer itself is quite stable except for this crash-after-boot-if-wireless-was-enabled issue on the printer.
I made the mistake of connecting the USB cable to my primary computer before installing the printer drivers, so even the USB option is not working (Windows recognizes the printer as an unknown USB device). If anyone can point me to the printer drivers (inf files), I would be grateful. The CD does not have the driver files in a convenient location. It seems to be embedded within the setup package somewhere.
Gardz and PrintDoc, I hope you can help us out on this one. I know many B110a users are struggling with the wireless issues, so HP needs to release a firmware fix and driver update soon. Wireless ought to work out-of-the-box, as this product is aimed at the SOHO users.

How can I set up mhy Airport Express to extend my Time Capsule wifi wirelessly

I want to extend my wifi off my Time Capsule with an Airport Experess in a part of my house that has no data cable ran to it. How do I do this?
Thanks

How can I set up mhy Airport Express to extend my Time Capsule wifi wirelessly
Assuming that you have the model A1264 or A1392 version of the Express, it must be located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the Time Capsule to be able to extend it correctly.
A good general location would be a point that is about half way between the Time Capsule and other area that needs more wireless coverage.
You will use AirPort Utility on your computer to configure the Express. An iPhone or iPad could be used as well.
We can provide more help....if you need it....but we'll need to know what version of AirPort Utility that you are using on your computer....or whether you want to use an iPhone or iPad to setup the Express.

Can you help resolve a "Go Wireless" and Verizon Wireless issue?

How do you file a complaint against "Go Wireless" and Verizon wireless? It was partially my mistake because I didn't realize that Go Wireless charges a premium for their service. That said, I was informed by the sales person that I could get the $150 bill credit per phone line I ported over, and a $200 visa card for each smart phone I turned in. That's $350 for each phone in credits.. This seemed like a great deal, so I purchased 3 phones, samsung galaxy 5. I paid a $50 premium per phone to buy them from the store (note..there are NO PRICES listed, you have to rely on what the sales persons quotes you). I also paid a $20 per phone "set up" fee and a $10 sim card fee. Again, I take responsibility for not asking if other verizon stores charged these additional fees. HOWEVER, when I was told to go to the corporate verizon store to get the envelopes for to turn in the smart phones for the $200 per phone credit - this was not my lack of research. I did go to the corporate office and was told that the $200 offer had ended 7 days ago. I went back to "Go Wireless" and the store manager told me that the employee was misinformed and was working off a quote sheet that was out dated. Ok, now you'd think they'd offer something to fix their "mis-informed" employees mistake. No, they said there was nothing they could do. I could return each phone for an additional stocking fee of $35, and cancel my plan. So, here I am...paid a premium for the phones, was "misinformed" by a store agent who was working off an outdated specials sheet, and my only recourse is to pay $105 to return the 3 phones. Something isn't right here. Verizon won't do anything, Go Wireless won't do anything. Any suggestions?

My girlfriend had a similar issue because her new device was not updated to IOS7 when she turned it on, but her backup point was created using IOS7. Check to be sure the restore point was created and then factory reset the phone after you have updated to 7.

This is a workaround for the MBP wireless issue

There have been many topics on the MBP wireless issues already, but I thought some people might find this workaround helpful.
Firstly, my system is a 2.2Ghz MBP, running 10.4.10, and also airport extreme update 2007-04. I am using an airport express base station. My previous Powerbook never had any wireless problems, so I really couldn't blame the basestation for the MBPs poor wireless.
Warning - The workaround requires a little bit of work in the terminal. A little bit of understanding of how networks work is assumed here as well. So it is probably not for everyone ...
What I have observed - whenever the MBP loses connection, the airport basestation IP and MAC addresses are missing from the ARP table.
- To view the ARP table, type (in a terminal window) arp -a.
So, when the MBP wireless hangs, open up the terminal and type that in.
Do a Cntrl-C if the arp command is hanging and not returning anything.
In normal situations, a list of IP addresses and MAC addresses will show up.
As others have already noted, clicking on the airport icon in the menubar, will magically bring the wireless back to life. When this happens, the ARP table also gets magically populated correctly. Coincidence? I think not!
So, the workaround is to store a PERMANENT entry in the ARP table for the airport basestation IP and MAC address. In my case, I can use the Airport Utility software to confirm what the basestation IP and MAC addresses are (note MAC address = Airport ID in Airport Utility). I found the basestation IP=10.0.1.1 and the MAC=0:11:24:07:d7:f
To create a permanent ARP table entry for my airport basestation, I opened up a terminal window, and did the following -
1) login to my administrator account
2) type in the following command sudo arp -s 10.0.1.1 0:11:24:7:d7:f
3) type in my administrator password to authorise the change
4) type in (to confirm the changes have been made) arp -a
5) logout of my administrator account (from the terminal)
Ever since I did this, my MBP wireless performance has been flawless.
Note, if you shutdown or restart your computer, the arp entry disappears. This is ok for me as I hardly ever power down my MBP. As insurance I have added an account startup item to remind me to do the arp table entry.
This workaround is great for me because I don't have a need to use multiple wireless networks. It might not be practical for people who roam around onto different networks.
Give it a go and see if it works for you.

OK, after some further experimenting, I changed the multicast rate on my airport express. It was set at 6Mbps, and I changed it to 2Mbps.
I have read that the default multicast rate for previous 802.11g versions of Airport basestations is actually 2mbps. Excellent results so far !! I have set up a terminal command to continuously ping my airport router address every 15 sec, and there have been virtually no dropped packets so far over many hours.
ping -i 15 10.0.1.1
Interestingly, in Apple's Airport Admin software in my MBP there is no option to set the rate at less than 6Mbps (!!!!), so I had to use the Windows XP version of Airport admin software to make this change using a windows machine. Using the XP software you can set the muticast rate as low as 1Mbps.
If you are using Apples airport admin software (Tiger and Leopard) and you commit any sort of change in settings, the multicast rate will be re-set at a minimum of 6Mbps. My understanding of the multicast rate is that setting it too high is similar to shrinking the coverage area of the basestation, and limiting access only to clients who can transmit at the required multicast rate.
So my new theory is that the dropouts are caused by the MBP dropping off the airport due to not being able to achieve the set multicast rate. (this could be due to factors such as low signal strength, excessive interference or noise).
If you are using Apples more recent Airport admin software, you are having a minimum 6mbps muticast rate set, and this might be too high for your particular environment.
Just a theory.
(oh yeah, I enabled interference robustness on the MBP and the basestation just for good measure)

Macbook Pro (Late 2008) - Windows 7 64-bit, Bootcamp 3.1 - Wireless Issue

Hi Everyone,
I have a Macbook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) model with Snow Leopard and Windows 7 64-bit dual boot. I have done a search and cannot find any reference to this problem on my hardware.
I have had no issues in Windows 7 when using Bootcamp v3.0. In the last week I have upgraded to Bootcamp v3.1. (completed twice, rolled back in between to prove that the issues was related to the Apple Update)
After I update to v3.1, I have issues with my wireless network. The network cannot resolve the name for any internet address. I can connect to wireless networks (tried multiple networks), all the DHCP settings seem to be retrieved correctly (Gateway, DNS etc) and I can ping local and machines outside my network without an issue provided I use the IP address. (Skype works - which uses direct IPs rather than names I have found over time)
As soon as I use a name for a destination for Web traffic, Mail, pinging (any application), my Macbook Pro cannot resolve the address and just bombs out.
If I connect to a wired network, the machine works perfectly and name resolution on that interface works. If I rollback (using Windows 7 rollback capability) to before the v3.1 Bootcamp is installed, the wireless networking also works perfectly.
I noticed this in the support area at apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3196
But this refers to wireless issues in Bootcamp drivers prior to v3.1 and on 13 inch Macbook. Wonder if this is a similar issue or related?
Anyone else seen this or point me in the direction of a fix?
Thanks,
Thommo

I'm looking into running Windows 7 64bit on the exact same MBP you have, so I'm curious as to whether or not you've found a solution yet outside of the forums.
Do you think it might be that the bootcamp 3.1 update is only for Windows 7 32bit and not for the 64bit version?

Wireless Issues with Apple TV 2nd generation

I have a linksys wireless router using WPA2 wireless security. I have 5 laptops, 2 printers, 3 iPhones, and 2 iTouch's connected to the wireless with no problem. My apple TV (second generation) has wireless issues, it will sit and connect and disconnect then reconnect then disconnect back and forwarth over and over. It is the only device on my network that has issues.
BTW, I have an AppleTV 1st Generation that also has no issues.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes it is wireless and it is right next to my Playstation 3 that has netflix along with several internet games and is also wireless but has no problems.
NEW INFO
Upon further inspection. It appears that my wireless is connected and I am logged into my itunes account but I only see 3 main categories at the top (Internet, Compouters, Settings) instead of (Movies, Tv Shows, Music, Computers, Internet, and settings).
I have confirmed that my photo Stream from my phone is working and updated. However, No YouTube access so no internet. However, I know I am getting to apple because if I enter an incorrect password it tells me and also it stores the username/password.
Not sure what to do. I thought it was the wireless and still might hardwire the connection if I can but this is strange. I have setup many ATV2 and have and ATV1 with no issues.
Thanks for your help!
