802.1X Connection

Can the iPhone connect to an 802.1X wifi connection cause that is what I have at work and on my college campus.

I think people are a bit confused here. I think Packey023 is referring to 802.1X authentication. We have the same setup at the University of Texas at Houston Medical School as well. It has nothing to do with Wifi but access control. When 802.1X is available and properly set up, there should be a prompt for the username and password. WPA and WPA2 authentication that come with iPhone will only ask for a password. Thus, there is no way for iPhone users to access the wireless network at this point because the device lacks the interface for 802.1X authentication. Many users are demanding a software update from Apple on this issue and hopefully Apple will answer to the calls.

802.1x connection fails on wake

In my college we have wifi that requires a 802.1x connection. When i make the connection it all goes well, untill i sleep and wake my MacBook with Tiger: The reconnection hangs on verification. I then have tot open Internet Connect, go to the 802.1x tab, click on Disconnect, and click on connect then.
Is there a fix for this? Or is there a applescript makeable that automizes this?

Might try one of these commands in Terminal, and if they work, then make a Script...
sudo ipconfig set en1 BOOTP;sudo ipconfig set en1 DHCP
sudo ifconfig en1 down;sudo ifconfig en1 up
There's also an old bug still floating around, not sure if it works on/for 802.1x connections, but one thing that can work, please ignore the exact symptoms and connection and Hardware types, it's worked for many others than the stated...

Unable to create a new 802.1 connection

When connecting to the internet I need to create a new 802.1 connection. This should easily be done by clicking file on internet connect and then clicking "create new 802.1...." My problem is that this link is grey (not black) and therefore not an option for me. This is extremely frustrating as it is the only thing in my way to a wonderful internet connection (I do get acess to the network with an IP-adress, but I can't get authenticated to use the internet). I have been able to use this network before and have previously successfully authenticated myself through the 802.1....
Does anyone know how I could change some settings to be able to create a new 802.1 connection??
Or have I downloaded some new upgrade for internet connect so that it is no longer possible to use the 802.1... ?
please help me....

Hi,
It seems to me that your genesys cti gplus adpater is of the registration type.
And from the error file, it could not contact the SAP gateway to register.
It is so logical that the connection test from SM59 fails.
Check the hostname of your SAP gateway. Is it really in capital letters ?
Are you able to ping it from your adapter host ?
Is the system number of your SAP system 00 ?
You are not supposed to ask for information at your email address.

How to automatically connect to a 802.1x connection at login?

I want to set a time for the computer to start up, and automatically connect to the internet at login.
I connect to the internet using the 802.1x connection via enthernet. So regularly, i have to open the System Preferences and choose Network, and click the connect in the 802.1x section.
Is there anyway to let the mac do the things for me?
Thanks!

This depends on what the exact problem is:
If it is general access to the network, then you can try doing a factory reset of the Router/Base Stations. This is relatively simple and instructions are given in the manual or at the apple support website.
If its a location problem, i.e. automatic selection of the correct network connection, then if you create a new 'Location' in Location->Network Preferences -> Location -> Edit Location under the Apple Menu (top left) and only add the 802.1x connection to it (or rather delete the other network connections) and are using this location at shutdown, then this should be chosen as the primary network connection when you reboot.
The removal of the other network connections under the specified Location does not remove them from the computer, only prevents automatic access to them at that location.
Hope this helps

Apple Airport 802-11n connection problems with Windows 7

I'm basically a MAC user, but my son is trying to get his Windows 7 Toshiba laptop to connect to my Apple 802-11n wifi. It will see the wifi, but when clicked on my network the connection fails before I get to input the password. Yet neighborhood 802-11n connections get to the password screen. The lap[top is a Toshibe satellite L755-S5107 running Windows 7.
I'm not very savvy on PCs, so I don't know where to look for versions of his software et al.
Anyone familiar with such problems?

Toshiba may be doing something different than other manufacturers, so your best bet might be a Toshiba support site.

Another source that may of some help is the Windows troubleshooting guide for WiFi connections:
Wired and wireless network connection problems in Windows ...
Not sure how much more help that we can provide on an Apple support site for Apple wireless routers.

802.1x connection problems at school

I am having some problems connecting my Macbook Pro to my wireless school network. My school is using a 802.1x network where i can login succesfully to the network using my username and password, i am getting this screen when im succesfully logged in (just logging in, no valid ip)
http://upload.roysterken.nl/files/images/1507802.1X.png
I'm using DHCP as you can see here,
http://upload.roysterken.nl/files/images/6694network.png
Tried renewing the ip several times. I dont seem to get a valid ip adress (only 169.x.x.x) i also tried manually entering but no help there.
I have been searching on google for any solutions for this problem and the only topic about this manner was found on this forum.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=376871
I installed all the updates so i could not find a solution there.
Some system information about my wifi card:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x87)
Wireless Card Locale: Worldwide
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.1.9.3
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advanced.
Roy Sterken
Note: My wifi card is working perfectly using WPA / WPA2 or WEP at home.

hey roysterken,
to the begin of last week i suffered a similar problem. During three days my MBP was not able to connect to the wlan of my university. As you, I did not get any valid ip adress just the standard 169.x.x.x.
The only valid IP address the book received was after a restart, unfortunately after the next releasing it was not valid anymore. When the book had to release its ip address (every 5min in our net) it did not accept any offer from the dhcp server.
Perhaps you could capture the network traffic between the dhcp server and client(your book). For such a scan you need wireshark.
Since thursday morning I have no problem to connect to the network. Unfortunately I do not know what has changed. All the time i sufferd that problem I was in contact with our network support and as far as I know I was the only one at our university who suffered that issue.
I found something else on the net, perhaps it will help you. It describes the same error as I had.

Can Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g Connect To Park's Free WiFi?

The RV resort where I'm staying has free WiFi for Internet connections. It shows up on my iBook's Airport list of possible networks in the menu bar, along with my own local network which is an older Airport Extreme Base Station (white dome 802.11g) which has my HP printer plugged into it via an ethernet cable.
However, when I am connected to the park's WiFi via the laptop's Airport network choices, I am NOT connected to my AEBS, and therefore cannot print to the printer wirelesslessly. Is there a way for the AEBS to make the connection to the park's WiFi so I can use both Internet and printer from my iBook G4 without having to switch from one network to use the other?

Is there a way for the AEBS to make the connection to the park's WiFi so I can use both Internet and printer from my iBook G4 without having to switch from one network to use the other?
Sorry, but no. You cannot connect your iBook's AirPort to more than one wireless network at a time. Since it will be highly unlikely that you will be able to create a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) between your RV resort's Wi-Fi and the 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), you won't be able to extend it to meet your needs.

802.11n connection comes and goes with 10.5.2 update

Running 10.5.2 with Mac Pro Quad Core and Airport Extreme base station on latest firmware.
802.11n loses signal randomly (airport icon goes grey), all I have to do to get it back is act like I'm going to choose a new network (click on airport icon in the menu bar) and then let go of the menu without choosing anything and voila, back.
802.11g works fine... if I switch the base station to b/g compatible no drop outs. This however, is not a solution in my book.
No problems prior to 10.5.2

I tried everything (and believe me my job is to sort out stuff like this). If someone brought back a machine like this to where I work I would tick a box on a form that says 'pre-loaded software fault' and send it back.
I have gone back to Tiger as I cannot maintain a wireless connection or stop all my applications from randomly quitting etc etc etc. Of course a small minority have given me excessive grief for daring to state that this is apple's fault but hay ho.
PS you are lucky if it always comes back as you have described. Imagine you had to reboot several times an hour. Windows 95 anyone?

Airport express 802.11g connection problems

I own both an intel mac mini and a macbook, both running Leopard. I also own an Airport Express, which until about 4 months ago worked flawlessly. Since about Jan or Feb, my internet connection (via AT&T DSL) has gotten so flaky that I wind up using a neighbor's unprotected wireless connection (as I am now), even though my router is literally 3 feet away from me! I can't even connect to my router! I live in a condo, and have been told the signals from other wireless routers are "stomping" on my own wireless signal.
I have been told to move the router away from any electronic devices, but before this whole thing happened, my router was even closer to my computer than it is now, and worked without a hitch.
What do I do with this? A guy at a local Apple reseller suggests I upgrade to the latest Airport Express (802.11n), but I want to make sure I explore ALL options before spending the bucks.
PLEASE advise...

I had the same problem with my AirPort Express. After much trouble shooting on the phone with Apple, they told me the same - that electronics were interfering and we needed to turn off all electronics. Did that and problem continued. They stayed their argument. I took the Airport Express router to a remote location where there was no chance of any interference. Problem continued. Again I called Apple - they stayed their argument. I convinced them to send me a new one. Fixed the problem. That one died about 1 week later. Called Apple again (and repeated the process). I asked them to send yet another new one. They said no because it was obviously MY problem - or something with the area where I was using it (even though I tried it in different locations). I took it to the Apple Store - they ran a diagnostic and yep, it was a problem with the router. So, I'm on my 3rd one -it's been working for a few years now.
My diagnosis is a bad Airport Express. Don't let Apple tell you it's a problem with "electronic interference" because likely its a faulty device and they don't want to take the flack for it.

WRT160NL and AirPort Express 802.11n Connection

I have a Linksys WRT160NL that is currently connected to 2 Apple AirPort Express 802.11n via WiFi.
The connections are Cable Model via ethernet to WRT160NL
WRT160NL ethernet to PCs running XP and Vista
WRT160NL WiFi to laptops at 802.11g
WRT160NL ethernet to DirecTV HD Box
WRT160NL WiFi to Airport Express to ethernet connection of DirecTV HD Boxes (2 connections) (802.11g)
This current setup works. The hard wired components work as expected and the wifi to the AirPort Expresses work as well. The only issue I have is that the AirPort Expresses are only connecting to the the WRT160NL via WiFi at 802.11g speeds. I want to be able to conenct the AirPort Expresses at 802.11n speeds as I am having some streamin issues for High Def video. I verfied in the DHCP Client Table of the router that the AirPort Exresses are connected via "Wireless-G" to the routers. The AirPort Expresses are running the lastest firmware from Apple and I am running Firmware Version: 1.00.01 B17 on the router.
Any help/ideas on how I can connect the Apple Airport Express to the WRT160NL at 802.11n speeds? Are these 2 devices just not compatible with each other?

Thanks for the reply Scrooge. I have verified that the Apple Airport Express is 802.11n complaint:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB321LL/A/AirPort-Express-AirTunes?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco=MTA4NTc4MTE
I have also checked to make sure tha the router is set to Mixed mode:
Mode:     Mixed
Network Name (SSID):     xxxxxxxxx
Channel Width:    Standard - 20MHz Channel
Wide Channel:    N/A
Standard Channel:    2
Security:    WPA2 Personal
SSID Broadcast:    Enabled
The airport expresses are still connected at 802.11g according to the DHCP Client Table from the router. Is there any way to force the Airport Expresses to connect at 802.11n?
TIA

802.11n connection with Apple Macbook Pro

Hi,
I have a 2009 Mac book pro notebook. I would like to purchase a router that would allow me to create a wireless network to which I can connect at 802.11n speed.
My understanding was that, at least until recently, Apple had their own version of 802.11n that was not guaranteed to connect to non-Apple routers.
Can any/all recent current 802.11n Linksys routers connect with Mac Pros using 802.11n?
Thanks

You can go for Linksys "N" Routers..Some good model no are WRT160N,WRT320N,WRT610N...

Force 802.11ac Connection To Time Capsule Rather Than Airport Express

I have a new Time Capsule and a new retina Macbook Pro, both with 802.11ac.
The Time Capsule is in my main room and my rMBP is in my offce. In between my office is the kitchen which has an Airport Express. The reason I have the Airport Express in the kitchen is because some devices such as iPads and iPhones have a hard time connecting to the Time Capsule, so the Airport Express extends the network.
The rMBP has no such problems. However, because the AE is closer, it stays connected to the AE rather than the TC. This of course means I don't get any 802.11ac advantages.
How can I force the rMBP to connect to the TC and ignore the AE?

LaPastenague had good advice for you. All that you need to do is use AirPort Utility to enable the option to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band on the Time Capsule.
Then, move your MBP close to the Time Capsule and "point" your MBP to that network. Then, check to insure that you have the MBP configured to connect to the 5 GHz network first in the connection priority list.
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on WiFi on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
Make sure that the 5 GHz network name is at the top of the connection order list. If it's not, drag it there
Make sure that there is a check mark in the box next to "Remember networks this computer has joined"
No other boxes should be checked
Click OK
Click Apply
Close the windows
Note.....As you know, 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, so 5 GHz works best when wireless devices are in the same room, close proximity, or have line of sight with each other. If there are several walls or other obstructions in the signal path between the Time Capsule and MBP, the Mac may not connect at high speeds.

Airport Extreme 802.11n connectivity issues with Windows Vista

I recently purchased the 802.11n airport exterme base station and set it up using my MacBook Pro laptop. During the configuration process I set the security to be WEP enabled since there are other computers on my network, one of which has only an 802.11b wifi card, that can only accept WEP security protocol. The set up worked great and I was surfing on the internet with my Mac in no time.
When I go to connect to the 802.11n extreme base station with my Windows Vista desktop PC, I cannot get any type of connection. I re-entered the Network SSID to match that on the AE base station and re-entered the WEP enabled password.
Is there a compatibility issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and Windows Vista? I realize that the base station works on XP based PCs but not sure why it could not work on a Vista machine. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo

Upon further review I determined the flaw with my earlier attempts to set up the airport exterme base station with my winodws vista desktop pc. I realized that I should not use a WEP key but rather a WPA key since the wireless adpater connected to my desktop is a wireless G enabled adapter that can handles WPA and WPA2 security.
Therefore, no issues with Vista and the airport extreme base station. Works great.

VoIP over Wireless (bridges/802.11b) Connection

Hi,
I have 2 sites with Voice-enabled routers installed. They are connected to PBX in both sites.
These sites are connected to each other via a 2.4Ghz 802.11b wireless connection using Aironet 350 bridges.
The link is currently used to carry voice only (no data traffic transmitted over the link).
Connection is operating at 11Mbps but configured to fallback to lower speed in case it is needed. Statistics show that connection is operating at 11Mbps for the majority of the time.
Same connection had previously been tested with data traffic and no problem was noticed.
The problem is that when more than 5 simultaneous voice calls (Codec is G729) are transmitted over the link, the voice quality gets degraded.
We have also tried to use the same link for Voice and Data at the same time, we have also noticed that at the 6th call, the quality gets degraded (i.e. with and without data being trasmitted on link at the same time as voice, we are getting choppy voice quality starting the 6th call).
Thanx

You can try using a voice codec which consumes less bandwidth or enable cRTP to reduce bandwidth consumption .
