2Wire + Airport Connection issue (Help wanted)

Hello All,
I use a 2Wire HomePortal router to connect to my DSL service, and it works very well with our old PC and my iMac G5 (both ethernet and wireless). I purchased my new MacBook in August, and It connected well to the 2wire network, until two days ago. Right now, all I can connect to with the HomePortal router is via ethernet, which works fine. When I attempt to connect by wireless, I recieve the message "There was an error connecting to 2wire*" It's WEP passcoded, but I already know that I need to put a $ in front of the passkey, so I doubt that's the problem. Also, I can connect to other wireless networks, so I know it isn't a general AirPort problem.
Thanks so much for your help!

I'm not sure how helpful this may be, but I also use a 2WIRE router/modem for my DSL connection. I initially had problems with it and here are the thide ngs that I did to get the connection to work:
1. Reset the router (I unplugged it and plugged it back in after about 30 seconds)
2. Made sure that I used the right version of WEP on the AirPort. I had to use the hex key choice to get it to connect.
After that all was well.
Good luck...

Persistent WiFi/AirPort connectivity issues

If anyone has any input that could help me or perhaps reduce my ignorance, it would be much appreciated.
My Black MacBook has had persistent wireless connectivity issues since I purchased it almost 2 years ago. Even when it shows 3 or 4 bars in my AirPort preferences, it has rather slow page-loading abilities.
For some reason, if I keep selecting my preferred network from my AirPort menu (even when it has NOT dropped the network), that tends to speed up my page load rapidly, but only for a couple of seconds.
It fares a little better when connected directly with Ethernet, but still pretty poor, to the point that I am often mocked by my PC-using friends.
Is there a software update I need? Or a network accessory I can purchase? Or can I replace my built-in wireless card? I am open to anything at this point. Thanks in advance,
K.

Have you tried connecting directly to your router with an Ethernet cable to see if wired performance is significantly better than wireless? I don't see any other inexpensive solutions.
Spending several hundred dollars or more to upgrade your home router and adding RAM and a new hard drive two-year-old computer is certainly cheaper than buying a new computer outright, but it DOES NOT give you any guarantee of the faster online and video performance you seek.
An 802.11 'n' router (with a gigabit wired connections) would probably help connection speed, IF you have a high-speed internet provider with one of the faster DSL or cable services. The fastest 'n' routers provide up to 300Mbit/sec transfer rates, compared with 54Mbit rates for most of the 'b/g' routers, and some higher-end routers (like the Apple AirPort Extreme) support dual band MIMO for multiple simultaneous connections by the same computer, which provides a potential for greater performance. Stop by an Apple store and ask for a demonstration _with your MacBook_ to see if you experience a enough difference to justify the expenditure.
You have to click the "triangle" after the Intel ICH8-M AHCI to see the detailed drive information dropdown. You seem to have plenty of hard drive space available, but I'm guessing you have a 5400 rpm drive. Upgrading to a 7200 rpm drive would help overall system performance some with faster read and write times, but you really don't need extra space at the moment.
Upgrading to 4Gb RAM could also help if you run lots of programs simultaneously, but might not provide noticeable gains for browsing and online video, since you're already at 2Gb.
Of course there is not an upgrade to the GMA 3100 chipset and 144Mb of video ram. It is better than my GMA 950 with 64Mb, but not as good as newer/faster/better MacBook and MacBook Pro models with faster microprocessors and more sophisticated nVidia video chipsets from Apple.

Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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

Connection issue help

I have intermittent connection issues. I have been calling and calling..... We did finally get someone who spoke English. A "technician" came to the house and found nothing wrong with the connections, other than to tell me that in our apartment we have copper wiring and that there is nothing that they can do. Although, my neighbor, who has Charter, has never had an issue.
I overlooked the fact that the "technician" that I'm paying the service for, only glanced at my computer and told me that there was nothing wrong. Now I still left with a connection that constantly drops, is still an issue.
I called again, only to reach someone I can barely understand, who tells me to disconnect the connection that goes from the modem to the computer and switch them. Uhm, okay. Just for fun, i switched the cords (spun em around) . I asked what purpose this would serve as I'm using the same cable? Obviously, this did not change anything.
I have called several times and am left on hold.
I called once again to inquire why my Verizon in Home Agent would not connect to the internet. Although, I did have internet service. The agent said that the In Home Agent would come on only if I had a connection issue...This makes absolutely no sense.
Lastly, after being so frustrated, I managed to spill a drink (fortunately, I had not yet reached for the bottle of liquor). This brings us to a new dilemma, the computer now does not turn on. (using the laptop)... I have the insurance for a replacement/repair of my computer. I again called Verizon, no one has heard of this service, but yet I pay a monthly fee. "It's not something they handle" but they are willing to TRANSFER me AGAIN.
{edited for privacy}

This is DSL-101 - but make sure your phone cord is no longer than 12 feet long ... and not one of those cheap "ribbon" phones cords. It's not the ability of the signal to reach the modem - rather the ability of your modem to transmit through the length of the phone cord. (You would be amazed how many people how 50' phones cords going to their modems). The shorter the phone cord, the better.

Airport Extreme / Apple TV Connectivity issue -HELP!!

I am able to enter my WEP password on the Apple TV, and it connects to my wireless network. But, the next day, it doesn't show up in my list of devices on iTunes. I look at the setings on the apple TV, and it says I am not connected to network, and I have to enter password again. What setting do I need to adjust on the Airport Extreme or the Apple TV?

I have the same issue. Wish I could help.... It is ridiculously annoying to have to put in the password every day, yet it is all I can do!
I dont understand... even if it drops the connection to the TC, why cant it reconnect on its own like computers do?

RADIUS \ NPS - Connection Issues - Help greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I have been banging my head on this issue, and would greatly appreciate some assistance getting this worked out. My goal here is to authenticate both domain & non-domain devices (laptops, smart phones, tablets, etc) to my network. I'll followed
several tutorials without much luck - and I feel my lack of knowledge on this particular topic weighing on me.
I am currently working in a lab environment, which consists of a Server 2012 VM with Active Directory installed and configure. I've also setup and configured my Wireless Access Point, which i've confirmed works just fine using WPA-Personal. I've
installed NPS, as well as AD CS using all of the defaults.
I'd like to know the opinions of anyone here as to the best way to set up this environment for my needs. As mentioned above, I want to be authenticating both Domain and non-domain devices. Should I have to be setting up certificates of some sort
for this goal? Or can I stick with just plain AD user/pw access?
I've configured my WAP for WPA-Enterprise, specified the RADIUS server IP, and entered the shared secret. I've configured NPS w/ my RADIUS client (that being my WAP). My Wireless Policy consists of the following:
Overview:
Policy Enabled
Grant Access
Ignore User account dial-in properties checked.
Type of network access server: Unspecified.
Conditions:
NAS Port Type - Wireless - Other OR wireless - IEEE 802.11
Windows Group - DomainName\Wireless Users (I created the Wireless Users security group and added one newly created user to the group)
Constraints:
EAP Types: Microsoft: Secured Password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)
Less Secure Auth. methods selected: MS-CHAP-V2, MS-CHAP
Everything else in the network policy is set as its default, and i've registered the NPS server in AD.
My attempts to connect fail, and the only relevant Event Log that is being processed is in the Network Policy and Server Log is what i've copied below. Please ask for any information that may help me work this out, i'm all ears!
Thank you.

Hi,
You receive this message when there is an incompatibility in authentication between the client and server.
Check the authentication protocol on the client and verify if its the same as the authentication protocol configured in your network policy.
Besides, secure password EAP-MS-CHAP v2 is an EAP type that can be used with PEAP, for password-based network authentication. EAP-MsCHAPv2 can also be used as a standalone method for VPN, but only as a PEAP inner method for wireless.
For detailed information about EAP-MSCHAPv2, please view the link below,
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh945104.aspx#BKMK_LAN_SecPWD
Therefore, we recommend that you need to change your authentication method on both of server and client.
Moreover, if you change the authentication method to PEAP, you need to implement ADCS in your environment.
Hope this helps.

Airport Connection issue

Hi,
I have a 24" iMac (2.8 C2D), just recently i'm getting an issue with the airport failing to connect to the wireless router when the machine is first booted up. If i then turn the Airport off and back on again it connects straight away and I have no more problems till the next time I reboot.
I only have the one router listed in the connection list.
Can anyone shed any light as to why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Kam

Sometimes my iPad or iPhone just don't see the network but I restart them. That was just something I wanted to share but do you have any other wireless devices such as your home phone? Disconnect all of them and see if your Mac can connect automatically. If it works then see if can change the frequency of the other devices or if you can't do that or you don't have a clue what I am on about use the Airport utility and find the option which will fix although you do get slower connection as a consequence

Wi-Fi Connections issues: HELP NEEDED!

I've been running my iPhone mostly on the EDGE network the past few weeks. Some hair might have gone grey while I was waiting for it to laod, but it loaded after sometime.
Anyways, I have a linksys wireless router and everytime I try and use my Wi-Fi with the iPhone it says "Safari can't open the page because it could not connect to the server."
Does anyone have a solution for me to change settings through network settings, or anything eles that might be quick and easy?

Here is a quick check list you can take a look at and try. As well as a couple questions. It sounds like possible interference of some kind.
1. Has Firmware on the router been updated?
2. Have you updated iPhone Software to 1.0.1?
3. Have you done a restore on the iPhone and tested the network again?
4. You may wish to inquire to your router provider about changing the channel on your router, To see if it is stopping the iPhone from grabbing a stable connection.
Test your iPhone on another Wireless Network, If other Wireless Networks work, Then it could just be a compatibility issue with your router, But please inquire to your Router Provider about how your wireless device will not hold the information of the Router IP and other information, They may be able to change a setting in the router to help stabilize the connection.

Speed connections Issues Help?

Hi,
New to the forum and looking to receive any help with my problem.
Background Info:
I was on sky broadband and receiving a steady 4mbs D/L (Up to MB +Unlimited Broadband) at £12 per month.
A BT Representative cold called me and persuaded me to switch the broadband to BT (Already have the Phone with BT).
I was informed that i would get at least MB d/l and up to MB - so signed for the option 1.
Then I realized that my household is a heavy user,so changed the package to option 3 (Unlimited Broadband Usage)
costing me an instant £21.80 bill for adjustments.Fair enough.
The Problem:
After the 10 day period I am only getting 2.MB D/l at best.
I have been on the phone with BTU+their team of specialists and have still not resolved the issues as of yet.
I have to call back on Saturday after leaving the router on for a further 48 hours without powering down.
So Basically:
Paying twice as much for only half of what i was getting with sky?
If I could cancel the lot and switch back to sky .I would!
Rant Over (for now)
Thanks
Paul

welcome to the forum
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com or http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9354/c/346,4740,5520 and post the results .
are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Do you have any phone extension sockets in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus connection issue - HELP!

I have a strange issue: after some hours, the communication link is dropped between the computer and printer. When this happens, IE becomes unusable and will not connect to anything. This is replicated on three XP home machines. The fourth, a vista ultimate machine, does not seem to be affected (yet). I get the "scan to computer is disabled" error. It cannot be re-enabled. At this point I cannot print either. I can reach the embedded web server on the printer via firefox and can still surf using firefox. I can ping the printer, but again once the connection is dropped, no printing or scanning to the computer. The only thing I've found that resolves the issue (temporarily) is to reboot the computer, which just starts the cycle again.
last night I installed the software on an XP machine and the laptop to test when the connection dropped. They lasted from 7pm Monday until I got home at 5pm Tues. The machines were not used. Once I started using them (firefox only), then they dropped the connection within a half hour of each other around 7pm. The other XP machine lasted from 7pm Mon until 7am tues, when my wife started using it and then noticed it dropped sometime that tues between 7 and 9AM. An 11am tues reboot ran OK until 10 pm tues when connection was lost again (and IE is now dead). The Vista machine has been running since 7pm monday until now (930pm tues) and still seems to be holding.
printer hardwired, to router, static IP, 100-full link speed (also tried 10-half)
router dlink di-655
two XP machines are hardwired, vista is hardwired, and last xp machine is a laptop on wireless.
I've swapped cables rebooted and reinstalled multiple times. I must have a file a mile long on the support phone line. They were unable to fix it. I asked this to be escalated, but who knows when I'll get a response.
I've toggled firewalls - XP built in
I've uninstalled anti virus software
I've even put up with crazy suggestions from tech support like changing the router channel (uhh, it is wired!)
one xp machine had an AIO 4215 hooked via USB and the others printed to it via network, but the printer has been deleted from the networked machines.
I can ping 127.0.0.1 which is supposed to indicate the tcp service is OK.
I have not reset winsock .. I can see one machine being bad, but three????
malware / virus scan shows no issues. Again one maybe, but three??
The only thing I can think of is that there is something in the XP networking stack that conflicts with the new 8600 software as hours pass. Perhaps there is some polling operation that goes on then dies after some time, then it kills IE as it dies.
When the printer works it is great, but rebooting is not a permanent solution to this.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!!! I am stumped and so is tech support. They are sending it to engineering, but who knows when they will respond.
thanks in advance.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

well it looks like I have a working solution ... I downloaded a freeware file called process.exe . I made a cmd file via notepad with the following contents:
rem this is to keep the HP network printer communicating with the desktops
rem
process -k "hpnetworkcommunicator.exe"
rem
process -k "scantopcactivationapp.exe"
rem
"C:\Program Files\HP\HP Officejet Pro 8600\Bin\HPNetworkcommunicator.exe"
rem
Start "" "C:\Program Files\HP\HP Officejet Pro 8600\Bin\ScanToPCActivationApp.exe" -deviceID CNXXXX:NW -scfn "HP Officejet Pro 8600 (Network)"
the XXXX is your printer serial number with an extra character or two. Pull that number from the port tab after you pull up "properties" for the 8600 printer.
This cmd file basically restarts the printer link. It opens a command window that launches the program to re-establish the link.. then it closes the command window. The launched program shows that the communication link is dead (just for a few seconds), but then it makes the connection... THEN you hit the close button and coninue your work until it dies again.
I may have it autorun every X hours if I can narrow down a good time. Until then I have a shortcut on the desktop to "FIX HP LINK" ... I only had to do this for my XP machines, as the vista one seemed OK.
What ticks me off is that I shouldn't have to do all of this diagnosis. It would be nice if there is a fix in the pipeline so the link stays stable al the time. I've spent hours trying to figure this crap out.
Anyhow, I hope the time I spent helps someone. PS, thanks to the OJ6500 thread that had the info for the scantopcactivationapp.exe program.
PS ... I'm still waiting for an engineer to contact me, if any HP employees are reading this.
PSS I haven't tried this without killing and restarting the hpnetworkcommunicator stuff, but it works for now.

WRT54G Version 3.1 Connection Issues - Help Please

Good Morning,
We have a WRT54G Version 3.1. Our existing network is wired and functions fine, I am adding the WRT54G for a few wireless clients.
During testing I have connected the wireless to my computer via CAT5 cable to port 1. I have connected another CAT5 cable to the internet port of the router from a known good wall jack.
When I first open the default address 192.168.1.1 and enter the password, all seems well. Due to having servers that hand out IP addresses, I disable the routers DHCP capability.
I enter the following information for example:
Local IP: 81.0.0.90
Gateway: 81.0.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DHCP disabled
etc.
After changing the the local IP and receiving a confirmation that my changes were saved and I will be going back to the previous page, the page won't display with the address changed to 81.0.0.90 and it is blank.
I release my IP address through cmd, clear my dns cache and reboot the computer. After restart, I am presented with the stock MS address of 169.254.X.X.
I cannot connect to the local IP I established at 81.0.0.90 and nothing appears to work. The only thing I can do is reset the router and start from scratch...again.
Any ideas on what keeps happening and how it can be resolved once and for all?
Thanks in advance
Message Edited by T1Tech on 10-23-200603:49 PM

even if you have two DHCP enabled on both routers in your network, you will not get an IP adress conflict (exception of course if you're cascading two wireless routers).
a LAN port (ethernet router) to WAN port (wireless router) connection can be established allowing you to have both DHCP server enabled on your routers.
by doing the LAN to WAN connection, you will have two networks in a network.. both network won't meet cuz they will have different IP adress... router 1: could be 81.0.0.90, then router 2 could be 81.0.0.91.
if you want your two routers to meet and be in the network together, you just need to follow QUAK's suggestion to assign a static IP adress on your PC. or better yet, you can just connect the router you're disabling the DHCP server with to it's LAN port from a LAN port as well of your DHCP server (router 1). this is a LAN to LAN connection... by doing that, you will be able to open up the interface of your router 2(DHCP disabled) since your PC connected to it will get an IP adress...

Airport connectivity issue

Not sure if this is the best place for this, but I'm having an odd issue.
My airport seems stuck on a set IPv4 address.
Here's what happened.
I'm on the road, yesterday I connect wirelessly in an airport (a physical airport, you know, with airplanes and bad food, etc.). Everything is fine.
Last night I arrive in a new town and at two different locations today, I cannot connect via Airport/wirelessly.
I believe I've narrowed it down to a specific problem. Which is that I can't get my TCP/IP setting off a certain IPv4 address.
I think this is part of the problem because I've found when I directly plug into a router, via ethernet I'm OK (though I tried that last night and it didn't work at a different location).
But the bottom line is, other Macs at this location work just fine, mine can't connect and I'm having trouble figuring out why.
I've tried to change the IPv4 address manually, but that still doesn't seem to get it done either.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I have found that the one wireless server does not give my Powerbook the DNS servers. When I put in the DNS servers from my ipod touch it works just fine.
My New question is why does my Powerbook not get the DNS servers while my ipod touch does?

Have Airport Connectivity issue

Hi peoples,
Picked up my 17" back in September, no real issues. For about 5 months i've had a wireless network in my house and no problems to report either.
That was until a couple days ago. For the past few days, my PB has trouble connecting to the network. It keeps telling me "None of your trusted .... would you like to connect to the network known as ..."
I click "YES" and it just tells me 'TRY AGAIN"
I'll keep clicking try again, to no avail...and sometimes it just won't connect at all..and other times, if I leave the PB open after about 5 minutes it detects it.
I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. Obviously the PB is detecting the signal, it just can't always connect.
Anyone have any clue as to why it would be doing this?
Thanks
P.S...i've tried clearing the ram, shutting down, etc... and sometimes it works, other times it doesn't, and i've also used macjanitor to clean things up and I have 50 gigs free space, although I doubt any of that would be of issue.

Have you unplugged your airport from power and let it come back to the steady green light?
Also, when airport has its steady green light, try . . .
Go to System Preferences, then select "network," then select "airport" if needed to get to the airport screen with the "trusted networks." Select your network if it's not on your "trusted" list. You'll need to remember what kind of security you used (if any) as well as your password.
Good luck!

Jetpack LTE and older imac w/airport connection issue

Hello,
I get an error message when trying to login to jetpack lte with an older imac G4 OSX 10.4.11 via the airpot card. Can I disable WEB security on this unit to bypass the WEP security password issue? I can login onto this unit with my Macbook Pro no problem.
This is my mom's computer and I am trying to help her out. It is her only means of internet where she lives.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Marten

Marten,
If you disable WEP from the MiFi you will disable security for everyone and leave your device open and vulnerable to moochers. I do not suggest opening your connection up to the world as anyone who connects without your consent will hold you liable for thier data usage.
Instead, a better technique would be to change the password type from WEP to WPA or preferrably WPA2. The newer security types will be more secure than WEP anyways and should always be used whenever possible.
Regardless, the steps to change your password to disabled or another type are all the same. Test them out and choose which ever option will work the best for you. See the MiFi 890L User Guide for more details:
http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/vzw_890_jetpack/eufi_890_manual.pdf
To change the MiFi 890L Security Type:
1. Connect a computer to the MiFi
