2 SSID creation in Wireless AP 1240

Hi,
I need to create the following login creadential in Wireless. I have ACS 4.1
1. Guest user without any authentication, only access internet. Guest SSId is being created for them. it is working fine.
2. Internal user using machine MAC authentication. Here we need to create another SSID. But whenever we broadcast the information we get only 1 SSID. But i need to create 2 SSID.
Please suggest..
Rgds..Partha Acharya

To create two SSID follow the steps:
SECURITY > SSID Manager > create the SSIDs and link users to each SSID (this option is below the SSID field) > Apply
Following links may help you

Wireless Network Management with Multiple SSIDs in one Wireless Profile

Could anybody explain me about how Multiple SSIDs in one Wireless Network Name (Network Profile) ? Configuration will be pushed to Windows 7 Pro from Wins Server 2008 R2.
Objective: Multiple office locations will have different SSIDs and when the laptop user travels one location to another, he/she could connect to wireless networks at any offices without any configuration change but utilizing "Automatically use my Windows
logon name and password (and domain if any.)" setting in EAP MSCHAPv2 properties.
Network Name: Enterprise
SSIDS: SFO-WIFI, LAX-WIFI,CHI-WIFI,NYC-WIFI,
Network Type:Access Point
Security Type: WPA2-Enterprise
Encryption Type: AES
Network Authentication Method: Microsoft:Protect EAP(PEAP)
My question is: (1) Will Windows try all the SSIDs in order to get connected to the Wireless Network at the office? (Let's say, user is in NYC, but will Windows try to find SFO-WIFI SSID first, wait until time out, retry?, and moves on to LAS-WIFI SSID,
wait until time out, retry?, and moves on to CHI-WIFI and finally tries NYC-WIFI SSID and found the SSID in the beacon from Access Point and authenticates through RADIUS?
(2) If the answer is YES, what is the waiting time/timeout setting for one SSID before moves on to another?
(3) If the answer is NO, what is the process to get user connected to NYC-WIFI SSID when he/she is in NYC office within the range of that SSID?

Hello Ninjago_2224,
About the multiple office location have different SSIDs, does the location A has the signal used in
location D?
Please go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
, and then click Manage wireless networks.
The windows will try to connect to these networks in the order listed.
Please check if the four SSID pushed by Windows Server 2008 is listed as mentioned above.
If the location A have the location D SSID and the location D SSID has higher priority, the Windows will connect to
location D SSID.
So about the question 1, the Windows will try the SSID in order.
About the question 2, I can’t find the accurate time that test one SSID and move to another. But based on my test, it is very fast.
For more information, please take a look at the following article.

SSID Creation issues

Hi,
Over the weekend I upgraded a No. of 4402 Wireless LAN controllers to Code 7.0.220.0, the upgrade went smoothly with all Access Points migrating over, the existing SSIDs that were in place prior to the upgrade are functioning as expected today.
However, this morning, I've created a new SSID and set to Broadcast out on all our LAN Controllers, but I'm unable to see the network as expected. I've browsed for the network from a No. of different laptops and smartphones, and none are able to see the new SSID advertised. I've connected to the CLI of the devices in question, and running 'show wlan summary', shows the newly created SSID and confirms that it's in the enable state.
Is there something blatant I've missed with regards creating an SSID on this code version, we were previously on an old Version 4 code, and never had any issues on this firmware when creating SSIDs.
Any help/input much appreciated
TIA
Dan

We have 4 other SSIDs, a mixture of corporate SSIDs and some Guest networks. I've added a link which shows the show wlan information for the new SSID. I've compared this to an existing network, and all appears to be the same across both.
It's almost as though the WLC has accepted the configuration, but has failed to push the configuration to the Access Points. Does this seem a valid point?
Re: the Groups question - Yes, we have 3 additional created for use on our corporate network, we have a group per floor which relate back to the relevant interface. For our Guest networks, these are configured with the management interface/default group.

WRT54G keeps resetting the SSID name and wireless security

Over the past few weeks, my WRT54G (which I've had for about 18 months) has been resetting itself by changing the SSID name back to the default "linksys" and losing wireless security. I have updated the firmware.
Any ideas of what is going on here?
Thanks.

After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Routers seem to be sensitive to electrical surges and noise. This can cause them to loose their settings. You should keep your router plugged into a high quality surge suppressor with EMI/RFI filtering, such as the Belkin SurgeMaster Gold Series. A surge suppressor alone is not enough because surge suppression does not start until the voltage exceeds 330 volts. Alternatively, most UPS devices have both surge suppression and EMI/RFI filtering.
If this does not prevent your router from "forgetting" its settings, then the router is malfunctioning, and it should be replaced. A router that forgets its settings is not secure.

2 ssid on 1811 wireless router

I am plannign ob buying a CISCO1811W-AG-B/K9 for a small setup. I need to setup two SSID. One SSID will give access to our local LAN to the users. Other SSID will give access to internet. I dont see why it cant be done but just need to have an expert opinion. Can someone help.
Regards
Nilesh

Thanks Richard for a prompt reply. I have one more question. Does 1811 have DHCP server capability ? Can it assign IPs to both wired and wireless devices. I am sure it will but if otherwise please advise.

How to change SSID for Linksys wireless switch for PC?

imac-G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Now, let's try to brake this issue down:
I need the Linksys to get a PC (Dell) running wireless. I installed a motorola PCI card for ethernet & the software that came with it in the PC. The switch does not read the network.
This involves a networking issue on a PC running Windows
The last time I spoke with Linksys they suggested http://192.168.1.1/same address, also 192.168.1.225. I get network connection errors.
This is an issue of your network setup
I have my Powerbook hard wired to the Motorola wireless router. My I-Mac is wireless.
So PowerBook & iMac work fine. Right?
You also have a Motorola Wireless Router, is this also your broadband modem?
I hooked up the Linksys switch to the modem with ethernet cat 5 cable. I still get connection errors. Neither computer can access these links. I get Motorola's broadband page with 192.168.1.1. I've done as much as I know but can't change the ssid if I can't access the Linksys switch. HELP Please!
This is a bit confusing:
What do you mean by connection errors? Unable to connect, able to connect but the connection drops?
Try this:
Shutdown your PC and both of your Macs
Turn of the Linksys switch and unplug it from the Motorola Router
Unplug the PowerBook which is wired to the Motorola and directly (with the same ethernet cable) connect it to the Linksys switch
Turn on the Linksys switch
Turn on your PowerBook
Open Safari or any other browser and go to: http://192.168.1.225 or http://192.168.1.225 (or whatever address Linksys told you)
Configure your Linksys switch (Change SSID) and save new settings
now, if everything goes fine, then:
Connect the PowerBook to the Motorola Router (just as it was before)
Connect the Linksys switch to the Motorola Router via an Ethernet Cable
Try to connect (from your PowerBook via Safari) to the Linksys switch@ http://192.168.1.225 or http://192.168.1.225 (or whatever address Linksys told you)
Keep the iMac and the PC shutdown untill you manage to set up the Linksys switch propperly

My photosmart has lost SSID and deactivated wireless without any known reason.

My photosmart has lost SSID and deactivated wireless without any known reason. Diagnotics only hint is that IP addresses, SSID, etc are empty. However it can detect the 802.11 (ethernet address but no IP) home network where it belongs.
I am adviced to do a "wireless installation" but get no hint where to start?? Need USB connection to my Win7 computer?

By creating wireless network with Airport Express, original wireless network stops functioning

I want to use the Airport Express to create a second wireless network downstairs. Upstairs I already have a wireless modem/router (Draytek 2850). The signal downstairs however is to weak. When I create the wireless network on the Airport Express, this works perfectly. However after the creation, the wireless part of the Draytek modem/router stops functioning. The wired part keeps working, but when I connect to the wireless part I access anything. Why is that?
The Express is set to Bridge modus and under TCP/IP I've selected that the IPV4 configurations has to go via DHCP.

I set the Network Name the same as the SSID, security type on the router is Mixed(WPA/WPA2)/PSK, which on the AX is WPA/WPA2 - personal I guess. The password is the same as the DrayTek.
Yes, WPA/WPA2 Personal on the AX is the same as the Draytek's wireless security option.
The radio channel of the Draytek router is 6, the channel of the AX is 11. Do I miss anything here?
No, it looks like you have all of the right settings as far as I can tell ... and you already stated that the AX is in bridge mode, i.e., Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode) ... correct?
If so, I would recommend performing a complete power recycle of your networking components, as follows:
Power-down the DrayTek, and AX. Order is not critical.
Power-up the DrayTek; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it to stablize.
Before powering-up the AX, verify that you can gain Internet access via a wireless connection to the DrayTek. If so, continue.
Power-up (plug-in) the AX; wait at least 5-10 minutes to allow it to stablize. It should have a steady green status light. If not, use the AirPort Utility to determine the reasons why it doesn't from the Status page of the Utility.

My HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 won't connect to my wireless router

This is bizarre. I have had my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 for about 6 months. It has generally worked fine, and we have used it wirelessly only. But now it refuses to connect to the router. It can FIND the router, and it can find other networks in the area, but it won't connect to the router. I ran the Wireless Network Test, and the results say:
Wireless On - Pass // Wireless Working - Pass //
Network Name (SSID) found - Pass // Wireless Networks Detected - 9
Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings - Pass / No Filtering - FAIL //
So it recommends solution as follows: "1 If MAC Address filtering is enabled, and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the Mac address of your printer to the list of permitted devices for your router before continuing."
Except, guess what, I don't have MAC Address filtering enabled. I wouldn't know how to do that, much less check for it.
Also, before today, this was never a problem. HELP!
Thanks....
If you are interested, here's more detail and background.
Before today, the only problem we have had is that frequently our Apple laptop (OS X 10.6) has trouble connecting to the printer. This has been odd because the printer is connected to the network, and so is the laptop, but the laptop can't find the printer - it thinks the printer is "offline" (even though it's not). Usually, if I wait a while, it will find the printer, and it will resolve itself work fine. If not, we sometimes have found that it can fix itself if you restart the laptop -- restarting the printer does not make a difference. In fact, I did exactly that today, and it resolved itself. And I printed. Fine, right?
But then I wanted to do more printing, and the problem of the laptop not finding the printer came up again, so I decided to really "get to the bottom of this." I don't remember exactly what I did, but somehow I was persuaded by the online help, that the correct solution would be to go into my System Preferences / Print and Fax, and click on the "-", which de-installs the printer, with the idea of re-installing the printer. But then when I tried to re-install the printer, it could not find the printer. Ugh! Wierdly, it found an 8600 Scanner, but not an 8600 printers. After installing and de-installing the 8600 scanner a few times, I eventually deinstalled everything, and I decided to start from scratch. I got my HP disk, and installed all the software again from the beginning (even though it was already there), and then it looked for my printer, but couldn't find it. So then I got a USB cord, and plugged that in.
So, now I have a situation where I do have a working printer via the USB cord, but no wireless connection at all. In particular, since the Office Jet Pro 8600 won't connect to the router, I don't know what else to do. My Apple MacBook pro is 2 feet away from the printer, and it is connected to the router just fine (as is my blackberry), and I have never before had a problem connecting to the wireless router by the printer.
Any suggestions?

There are two things that can trip the mac filtering test to fail: actual MAC address filtering setup (sounds like this is not the case) and using wireless channel 6 or automatic for wireless channel in the wireless network settings (in the router). Since it does show failed for MAC filtering and you do not use this option, try changing the wireless channel in the router to 1 or 11. Those two channels provide the best compatibility with printers due to less interference. Almost everything defaults to auto or 6 for the channel and this causes a lot of interference. This change should not affect anything at all. To do this, you may need to contact the router manufacturer as the process differs from router to router.
What brand and model is the router?
Has anything in the network settings changed at all?
What version is the Mac OS X? There may be additional steps to take as it sounds like there are two separate issues involved and this could be revisited later.

Random wireless crashes ( need help urgently)

Hi, I'm using a WRT54GSv4 router and I have two computer connected to it. One pc is connected by wire and the other computer ( IBM t60p labtop, integrated Intel Pro/wireless 3945abg, running MS Vista OS ) by wireless. the wired one is working flawlessly, although the laptop has some serious connectivity issues. The thing is, that the laptop sometimes ( well, rather often ) looses the wireless connection and cannot connect unless I restart the router, but after 3 minutes or so, it disconnects again and again. I'm not sure if this is the issue, but it seems as if the wireless starts crashing if the wired computer starts to eat up more or the internet connection. I had the same problem with my previous laptop ( IBM T41 ( I think ) too. And if i disconnect my pc, wireless problems seem to disapear (sometimes). I'm getting kinda desperate.

Give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you use "linksys", your computer might try to connect to your neighbor's network, and this can cause network slowdowns, and sometimes disconnections.
Also, make sure you have the latest driver for your Intel wireless card.
Windows XP has WZC (Windows wireless zero configuration). (I don't know if Vista has this.) You cannot use both WZC and the Intel wireless configuration software at the same time. You must use one or the other. Turn one off, then try the other one. If you try to use both at the same time, you will have connection problems.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
Hope this helps.

All of a sudden, can't connect wirelessly to WRT54G2!!

Hi! I have a WRT54G2 router with a desktop wired to it. The desktop is mine and my roommate wirelessly connects with her laptop and has been doing so no problem for about 6 months (ever since we got the router). On Christmas Eve, she was connected, went out, came home and found she'd lost her wireless connection. Now she can't get it back.
**I can still get online on the desktop.**
I've power cycled to no avail. What is weird is sometimes she will click on the list of available networks (so she can choose which she wants to connect to) and mine WILL be there, other times it will NOT. If she does happen to catch it at a moment when my network is there, and she tries to connect using the passphrase, it says "Trying to connect" or something to that effect, for like 3 minutes and then nothing happens. Also, not that I would need to, but if I go to "connect to" on my PC (as if I were looking to choose a network to connect to), my network name doesn't always show. It is random. Sometimes it does not even show when I go to "Networks" on my desktop.
We are going crazy here and I'm sad to say I am not very technical. I can provide more info if need be. My roommate took her laptop to her parents house and can connect to their wireless network, so I know the problem is the router or something to do with it....Can someone please help me?

Thank you so much for writing back! The ssid is currently set to my name. (I named it that when I first got the router...so, it's not currentlly the Linksys example).
As for security, it is already set to WPA2 Personal and for WPA Algorithms, it is set to TKIP+AES. There is already a passphrase in there (The ones that we've been using all along for her to connect wirelessly.. and that has worked until now...she's been able to use it no problem)...
So, everything "appears" to already be the way you advise it needs to. Am I doing something wrong?
Would it help to rename the router and change the passphrase, or does that not matter? What is weird is she seems it sometimes, but no all, and when she does see it, and enters the passphrase (which has worked before) it just doesn't connect.
Here is some additional info as to the way it is set right now
Under "Basic Wireless Settings"
Wireless Configuration- Manual
Wireless Network Mode- Mixed
Wireless Network Name- Tara
Wireless Channel- 6-2.437GHz
Wireless SSID Broadcast -Enable
Wireless Security
Security Mode- WPA2 Personal
WPA Algorithms- TKIP-AES
Then there is my group shared key
Group Key renewal - 3600 seconds
Wireless Mac Filter- Disable
Advanced Wireless settings
(Most here are set to the default)
Under setup of the router, DHCP server is "enabled"
Under firewall,
3 things are checked
Block anonymous internet requests
Filter muliticast
Filter IDENT
Under Access restrictions, it says "status" and it is set to "disable"
Under administration, where it says "Wireless access web" --"enable" is checked
Under status, in regards to firmware, it says this:
Firmware Version: 1.0.00 build 012, Jan. 24, 2008
Any ideas? What baffles me is that is has been working for her to connect wirelessly for months, using the passphrase and everything...and now, without my making any changes or messing with the router at all, this happens.
Any ideas would be appreciated!!

HP Photosmart Wireless B109n-z will come online but not STAY online!

In a nutshell: I own a HP B109n-z. It will connect on power on as it should to my main wireless access point and print from all computers on the network. After a while the printer will go offline. Web-interface cannot be reached, the printer will not respond to ping.
To remedy the situation, turn of printer, turn on again on front switch. Printer will connect to wireless AP and print in less than a minute. The printer is currently located 30 miles away from me, so hitting on/off is not an option for me. This printer needs to just STAY online as long as access point and power is supplied. I am - as I write this - connected via remote desktop to my Win 2k8 server, and I get no response when I ping the printer - however everything else on the network works, and I actually see the printer in my routers wireless section. It is just if the printer is in some kind of hibernation.
I've read several topics about the HP Photosmart Wireless B109n-z that goes offline and it seems to be a general problem with this printer. It also seems to be a generel answer from HP forum operators to ask what router the user is using - and then stating that that particular brand of router is flawed and the newest firmware should be installed, then try again. That move seems like a stall to me.
Please - dearest HP support - do NOT give me that answer. EVERYTHING else in my network setup works, and works ALL the time, every single day. The problem, whatever it is, clearly resides in the printer itself. All my automated daily network operations with regards to back-up and file distribution and automatic emails, plus remote operations have all been running every day for more than a year without needing maintenance. The frustration with this issue is immense.
Please help me get this solved once and for all. Help me make the printer stay online until I turn it off.
My setup:
1: Main ADSL-modem/router/wireless accesspoint is some kind of Sagem - and I can't do anything about that, it is provided by the only ISP that operates in the area (I live in Denmark). Don't know what box it is - but it uses 'Fast3504_5AD038' firmware. Broadcasts SSID, using 802.11 b + g and WPA/WPA2, running DHCP
HP B109n-z have static IP outside of DHCP range, and is placed ind same subnet as the rest of the network.
2: Attached hardware to entire network:
One Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Dell machine cabled to the Sagem box. Running 24/7/365, controlled externally using MSTSC remote desktop every day.
One Linksys WRT54GL router cabled to the Sagem box, running DD-WRT firmware, used as a secondary wireless acces point with its own SSID. Provides wireless internet acces 24/7/364 for laptops and smartphones in the house.
Three HD digital TVs cabled to the Sagem box, receiving IP-tv signal (individually, not same channel/signal)
2 phonelines (sharing number)
The WRT54GL have a cabled connection to a Windows 7 X64 workstation, providing internet access via cabled onboard LAN from workstation and cabled connection from WRT54GL to Sagem box. Used every day, most of the day.
3 laptops connects wireless to the WRT54GL access point, which in turn - as said before - is cabled to the primary Sagem box, used every day, most of the day
HP B109n-z connects to the wireless access point given by the Sagem box without problems.
All three TVs are connected with CAT-6 cable, all other cables are CAT-5
Best regards,
A danish person

OK, I'll give it a shot, but ISP-supplied routers can cause lots of problems - search these forums and you will see that.
Let's set a static IP at the printer, which includes directing the printer to the DNS server, which is sometimes helpful:
Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). You can find the DHCP range of the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the router's IP address (ends in .1) into a browser.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.
If this does not work, you can add a "standard" router (Linksys, Netgear or such) to your ISP router and turn off the ISP's wireless. I have seen this work well many times. You can turn the ISP's DHCP off as well, but you may have to open a port to the "standard" router. Attach all devices to the "standard" router.

Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.

Hi!
Didn't know exactly where to direct this question in the Apple Community so I chose Airport. To everyone, thanks in advance.
I’m really desperate. I’m a big Apple fan. I have two Apple MacBook Pro laptops with Mountain Lion software. I also have an Apple Airport Extreme. My HP Photosmart C4780 printer was also purchased from Apple. Anyway, my Internet service is AT&T. AT&T just upgraded my service with a new modem/router (AT&T U-Verse). Prior to the conversion, my wireless printer connection was working perfectly.
Now can’t print wirelessly. For your information, everything is connected via Wi-Fi. The AT&T technician stated that I no longer needed my Apple Airport Extreme, so it was removed. Naturally, after the tech leaves, we find out the HP printer wirelessly no longer works. Thinking that removing Airport Extreme may have been the problem, I reconnected it to the AT&T modem/router, however no change.
This appears to be an HP printer problem. I went to HP community support with the information below but I have received no solutions outside of buying a new printer.
“Ran the HP wireless network test report and it states that HP printer can’t find wireless router and to verify that the HP printer network name (SSID) matches the wireless router network name (SSID) exactly. The Diagnostic Summary in brief: Wireless On & Working & Security – Pass; Network Name (SSID) Found – Fail. Nothing else under diagnostic summary ran. Under Configuration Summary: It shows old SSID name and Mac Hardware Address but no IP Address.
Next ran the Network Configuration Page and everything is enabled except the 802.11 Wireless. It shows status – disconnected. Under general information it states the following: Network status - Offline; Active Connection Type - None; URL(s) for Embedded Web Server – http://0.0.0.0.”
To be straightforward, I’m no computer tech so I don’t know what this means or where to find. The AT&T tech provided me the new SSID Name and a wireless key number but that’s it. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled via USB. The HP message states can’t find router. At this point, I’ve tried everything to reconfigure without success. If I need to make these changes via Airport Extreme Utility 6.0 not easy to find not that I know what I’m doing.
Most importantly if I ever get wireless working again, do I still need Airport Extreme connection or is the AT&T U-Verse modem/router sufficient?
Any direction or help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for listening.

Thank you for your prompt response. I'll be honest I'm a retiree and a newbie to all of this stuff. I don't even know how to do a thread. (Embarassing) This is my first ever contact with the Apple Community so I'm slowly trying to figure this out as well.
As to your thread request, I'm assuming you want to read my post with HP. Not knowing how to thread, I've copied it below.

Next ran the Network Configuration Page and everything is enabled except the 802.11 Wireless. It shows status – disconnected. Under general information it states the following: Network status - Offline; Active Connection Type - None; URL(s) for Embedded Web Server – http://0.0.0.0
To be honest, don’t know what this means or where to find. The AT&T tech provided me the new SSID Name and a wireless key number but that’s it. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled via USB. The HP message states can’t find router. At this point, I’ve read your forum and tried everything to reconfigure without success. Any direction or help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I finally figured it out! (Sorry that I'm replying to my own posts btw, but I want to post the solution for anybody else with the SigmaplusEOL1 problem). If you have the SigmaplusEOL1 as your SSID when you print the "Wireless Network Test Report", you do NOT need to return it (I know that's hassle for people). To fix the problem, follow these steps.
1) Unplug your printer.
2) Go to your router's IP address (like 192.168.1.1 or whatever it is for your router).
3) Change the SSID of your wirelss network to "SigmaplusEOL1".
4) For the Security option for your wireless network select none (so that a password is not required to access your wireless network).
5) Power your printer back on and reprint "Wireless Network Test Repor". It should say "No problem found..."
6) The report should also have a the IP Address of the printer (under Configuration Summary at the bottom). Type that IP Address in your browser to get to the printer's settings page.
7) Click the "Network" Tab at the top.
8) Under the "Connections" header in the left pane, click "Wireless (802.11).
9) Click "Start Wizard" at the bottom right.
10) In the wizard, change the SSID and encryption (wep or wpsk) password to whatever you want your wireless network to be. So probably whatever it started out as before you changed the SSID to SigmaplusEOL1
11) Click "Finish" at the end. The page will probably try to keep loading but it won't because you changed the network settings of the printer. Just ignore that
12) Go back to your router's IP address and change the SSID and encryption password to whatever you changed the printer's SSID and password to.
13). Reprint the Wireless Network Test Report. It should say the SSID is the same as your wireless, and everything is good.
That's it. You should be good to go now.
Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Thank you for your prompt response. This has been a totally frustrating experience. I’ve spent at least 8 hours trying to fix this. My HP problems and your initial steps were identical to mine. I am by no means a tech person and my computer tech knowledge is minimal. However I followed your steps to the best of my ability.
I did get the SigmaplusEOL1 message. I was able to get to Step 6 where the wireless network test report now reads – “HP printer settings do not match your wireless router settings.” So I guess this is a step in the right direction. However unfortunately the Configuration summary message for the IP Address reads – “Not Applicable”. (Note: changing SigmaplusEOL1 to network name knocked out my Internet access. Had to switch back to regular network name to regain access.)
I’m at a loss as to what to do next.   Without the IP Address is it possible to move forward? As I stated earlier, I’m not a tech person. As to your steps 7, 8 and 9, I can’t find them on my computer or maybe I’m looking in the wrong places. In System Preferences - Network, I have none of these steps. If you’re referring to Airport Utility, with the changes in Mountain Lion, these steps are no longer there. If you’re talking about Safari, Firefox or HP, now I’m really lost.
Finally, I don’t know if you can answer this or not. If I ever get wireless working, do I still need Airport Extreme or is the AT&T U-Verse modem/router sufficient?
Again thank you for your time and patience.
Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Unfortunately I am unable to offer any further advice as I only followed the instructions listed on the other page.
Finally, as to having WEP enabled, I don't know. Don't even know where to look. The best that I could determine is that my security is WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I'm truly sorry about all of this. Thank you for your time and patience. After reading all of this and you change your mind, I would understand.

WRT54GS v6 Firmware Wireless keeps going up/down

I've read a similar thread and wondering if anyone has found a resolution to this issue. Seems like others are experiencing this issue with 7.x firmware also.
I've had this issue for a year and cannot accept this. I've found the solution.
" Apple Airport Extreme "
I would like to keep my linksys but if no one knows how to solve this issue I will throw it in the garbage.

Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok.
Change the MTU Size to 1300.
Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode
should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID
broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>Now
Click on the Sub tab under wireless > "Wireless Security" Change the
Wireless security mode to "WEP"...and put a 10 have a note of the key ... click save settings ...
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"

Wrt54g laptop wireless modem connected to router but will not access in any browsers.

I started a friends laptop at my house put in the security key and it connected to my network with excellent strength. When I opened IE or Safari it said unable to access page not connected to the internet.
I went into the properties of the wireless modem and checked to see if it matched my wireless laptop. It was slightly different with not all the same options. I changed something and now I can not get it to connect at all.
I hooked the friends laptop to my lan line and it works perfectly of course, so I know it has to be in the settings.
Any answers to the first problem of browsers not connecting, And anyway you can help me get the friends laptop settings back to where they were?
Thanks

Connect a computer to the Router, Open the Setuppage by 192.168.1.1 , password "admin"
Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode
should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID
broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>
Now Click on the Sub tab under wireless > "Wireless Security" Change the
Wireless security mode to "WEP"...and put a 10 digit key in key1 and keep a note of the key and click save settings ...
Then on your laptop try to connect to the netwok with the key.
