AEGE wireless encryption problem

I recently bought an AE GE wich I received last week. When configured first time it was upgraded with 7.2.1 firmware, also my MBP was upgraded with latest Airport Utility 5.2.1. Connected to my AEGE I have 1 MBP, 1 AppleTV, 2 Fujitsu-Siemens Vista laptops through wireless and 1 sippura, 1 dreambox and one Oki C3200n wired. I also have a USB HD connected. Everything was great until the morning of the 5th day. Waking up my MBP I got connected to my WPA/WPA2 WLAN, but I only got a 169.x.x.x IP address. I checked the Vista computers, the same issue there, no DHCP only a 169.x.x.x address. AppleTV no IP at all. If I manually configure the computers with a IP address, some packets goes through, but the packet loss is huge.
Whatever combination of encryption used and channel selected, the AEGE is unusable. Using no encryption on the wlan gives me normal behaviour. Right now I have downgraded to 7.2 but the issues remains. Hardware error or a software problem?

Panther will work wirelessly using encryption. You are probably just not setting it up right.

As I said, repost your question over in the Airport forum, I don't know enough about the ins and outs of your encryption problem to help you.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

TKIP Wireless encryption problem

Hi,
We have a wireless network with TKIP wireless encryption on it. When I have tried to connect my Macbook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.4.6) to this network it only allows me to type in a WEP key. Obviously this doesn't work and I am unable to connect to the network. what do I need to do to enable a more up to date encryption method on the laptop?
Cheers
Lenny

We have a D-Link DI-524 wireless Router attached to the modem. Most of the laptops on the network are Microsoft XP Pro and 1 MacBook Pro. The wireless encryption on the router is set to TKIP but the Mac only has an option to include a WEP key. I don't want to set the encryption of the router to WEP as we are in a large shared building. 20 laptops (XP Pro) connect just fine. How can I get this Mac to also connect to the network?
Thanks

I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
If that doesn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Wireless connectivity problems using IOS 6.0.2?

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

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

Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.

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

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

Macbook Pro Wireless Connection Problems

I bought my 13 inch macbook pro 1 week ago and I've had wireless connection problems from day 2 (I think after the updates).
Problems include:
- Safari cannot connect to the internet for 5~10 minutes after I turn it on, whether it be from sleep mode or completely off or restart (the fastest connection I got after turning it on was about 40 seconds)
- Loading takes ridiculously long and eventually Safari cannot find the server
- Airport signal (on the top right hand corner) is always full when it is not working
- Sometimes internet works but it is ridiculously slow
However, when the wireless connection stabilizes, Airport Signal is 2~3 bars full and internet works SOOO well and I love it so much when it does. But the problem is that it stabilizes like 30 minutes to never after I turn it on and it makes me so mad I want to explode this piece of crap in the microwave.
So I've called apple support, and they made me try four things:
1. Reset modem, router, and computer
2. Delete caches, reset Safari
3. Putting Airport first on the Service Order and resetting DHCP Lease
4. Connecting with Ethernet Cable then resetting the computer
None of these worked, and I'm suspecting that the cause of the problem is the hardware (not the aluminum body that's just bs) because my router and modem are working fine (my other samsung laptop is working perfectly). I don't think the problem lies in my network settings either because I did exactly what the Apple technicians told me to do. So after Appleguy made me try all 4 of those diagnostics, he told me to contact my router company NETGEAR because he thinks nothing is wrong with the mac hardware, so I did. The NETGEAR lady told me if one laptop is working and another isn't, there is nothing wrong with the router. So if nothing is wrong with my hardware, software, router, modem, ISP... Why do I have wireless issues????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I'm going to return this <edited by host> or get another one with my warranty

Same thing here.
I've got a Macbook Pro 15" bought 6 weeks ago, airport express bought about a year ago. All updated with latest software/firmware, etc. Problems include:
-Sometimes when i pull down the network list, my network isn't even there, yet i'm still connected to it. My airport is appx 10 feet away in an open area.
-usually after opening safari or firefox for the first time upon sleep, restart, or just opening the program after i had quit it, it is miserably slow. it takes about 2 minutes for pages like msn.com to load. finally when they do, its faster than you can imagine. that lasts for about a minute. then its slow again.
-when logged into ichat and i send messages, i would sometimes get a "connection timeout" message. my buddy would end up getting the message about 5 minutes later.
My iphone and dell laptop work fine. i haven't tried running parallels, but if bootcamp works, so should prlls.
I've reset the modem about 20 times. i've reset the airport about 20 times. i even re-installed my OS on the mac and nothing has done it.
Weird thing is that i've had my mac for 6 weeks, and this problem surfaced only 3 days ago.
Clearly its not an issue of any of our ISP's. Due to the fact that this only started for me 3 dyas ago, i'm hopeful that its only a software problem and not something else. Hopefully apple will a) ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM HERE and b) FIX IT.

Encryption problem caused by Adobe?

Dear All,
I am a video editor and exchange files with my collaborator via the cloud, but not via Adobe Cloud which does not allow .mp4 files to be sent due to copyright problems. My cloud service is not allowing my collaborator to view my latest .mp4 file created by Adobe Premiere Pro 2014, stating that the file is encrypted. I think this encryption problem is being caused by my cloud service, but I'm wondering if Adobe Premiere has inadvertently written any copyright encryption into this file that I'm not aware of. This becomes very frustrating when you're trying to collaborate on a video of your own creation! Thanks for your help.

Dear John,
I tried the zip file, but it still could not be opened on the other end -- same error message. Thanks.

A Fix for Wireless Connection Problems

I’ve been struggling with connection problems for a week. Thankfully, I found a fix. Your mileage may vary, but this may be your answer:
Fix for Wireless Connection Problems on MacBook Pro

Yeah BR, please tell me what your cure is. I have the same setup as you, Vista with the same wireless card you have. Cannot stay connected to the internet. Have spent hours on the phone with tech support and they can't fix it. I hate this f....ing computer, will never buy another one. Please let me know what you did. Once I get it running right I'm selling it and will buy a cheap Dell, never have any problems with them. I have keyboard problems, capital letter problems, connection problems, and download can take 1 to 2 days. Pure BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wireless printing problem

I have wireless printing issues. Here is the setup. I have a desktop pc (windows xp) with a wireless router. I had an HP printer connected to the pc and had a pc laptop and mac laptop with wireless cards for internet access and sharing the printer with the desktop pc. All was going well. I bought a new imac intel core duo and got a canon ip4200 for free. I replaced the HP printer with the canon which is now connnected via USB to the desktop pc. The pc desktop prints fine. The new imac connects to the internet wirelessly, no problem, but will not print correctly. At first, after selecting the canon printer on the imac it would print a document in a very small font in the upper left corner of the paper. After downloading new drivers, tech support, etc it will not work at all. Canon says that the ip4200 is not a "network printer". Is there any way to make this work without changing my whole setup? I am a computer novice!

I had similar problems setting up a printer on my iMac that was hung off a windows PC. I ran 'Bonjour' on the PC and set the iMac up again and all worked fine after that.
Worth a try.

Broadband/internet and wireless connection problem...

Towards the end of 2101 I received an email informing me that BT would be upgrading my local line and I could expect a much improved service. Whether this 'upgrade' has been the cause of my problems or is merely coincidental I cannot say. Prior to my experience since this time I could count lost broadband in hours per year (I never had internet or wireless connection problems).
Since the end of 2010 I now regularly lose my broadband completely every six to eight weeks. 'Home Hub cannot connect to broadband.' There is a worsening loss of speed? over a period of two to four days at the end of which I need to phone BT three/four/five, etc. times until they manage to locate the problem and fix it. It is always some problem they find on the line or with their equipment.
I always mention that this is an ongoing problem. Never do they take any action to escalate the issue.
This week things have become considerably worse.
I have started to lose my internet connection now. 'Safari cannot connect to the internet'.
There are now two issues which arise concurrently.
I phoned BT, finally the operative in India (through a very poor BT wireless phone connection) changed the channel of my router for me. He mentioned something about changing the address and password. This seriously exacerbated the situation. My password is not recognised now when I am asked to reconnect by selecting a network.
The next occasion on which I lost my INTERNET connection and tried to reconnect I got the message 'Airport has the self-assigned IP address (...........) and is unable to connect to the internet.
I phoned BT to report this and was told that this indicated an adapter problem and the problem was now out of BT's hands. I Should contact Apple.
I did so. Apple said I should contact BT to change channels. I explained this had caused the problem and they were now refusing to assist me. Apple tried everything that they could think of to resolve the issue (despite not being required to do so). Eventually the only suggestion they could make as BT had refused to help was to reinstall my operating system. Extremely drastic. But I can now connect wirelessly again.
Service is still intermittent requiring constant restarts to regain connections.
BT's response to a formal complaint was more of the usual banal questions, the usual tests, the usual promises of 'something would be done'.
Their systems are not set up to make any sort of accurate diagnosis of customers' issues. They seem to have a set number of 'fixes' into which they try to fit all problems - one would assume simply to save costs - their cost saving exercises are now costing me money.
That's all for starters.
Any suggestions?
Solved!

I have a similar problem, since BT "upgraded my broardband" my home hub looses internet connection at least twice a day and I have to power reset it. the broadband shows as connected but the internet connection is lost, if I try reconnecting it fails and only a power resetr will work. I have a temp solution by fitting a time switch to the mains adaptor and reseting it at 0200 each day. but before the upgrade the home hub had worked for years and no problems. i have also replaced the origonal home hub 1 with a home hub 2 to see if that improves the situation.
welcome to the forum
This subject has been marked as solved by the originator and you will get more response if you start your own subject rather than continue here.
if you start your own subject just cut and paste your post and then in order 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 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

C4580 Wireless Printing Problem

We purchased a C4580 a few months ago and successfully installed it into our home network. We eventually had to replace the printer cartridges and went with the high-capacity HP cartridges - then we noticed a problem. Every time we print out a test page on the printer, it is perfect; however, every time we submit a print job wirelessly the page is a mess! The wireless print jobs are full of gaps, incompletely printed lines, and doubly printed letters. AARRGGHH!!! I am thinking of loading an SD card with a print job, inserting it into the printer and seeing if that will work. I have updated all software and have had no luck so far in overcoming this wireless print problem - any suggestions?

I was going to lead you to this page to download and install the Full Feature driver. I also noticed that there are quite a few updates for the software and printer on the same page.
I still think you should install the full featured driver, but if it persists, try some of the updates?
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Wireless Encryption Help

I set up a 128 WEP encryption on my home wi-fi network using my work PC but my iBook G4 won't let me join. I know the 16 digit code and my password, but can't to a place to enter either. Any help?
Thanks,
TP

tproud78, Welcome to the discussion area!
It is unclear whether your work PC or iBook is having difficulty joining your wireless network.
If your equipment is compatible with WPA2 or WPA, you should change the wireless encryption to that and avoid the incompatibilities caused by WEP. WPA2 and WPA are also extremely strong compared to WEP.
If you must use 128 bit WEP, for better compatibility you should use a 13 ASCII character password or a 26 hexadecimal character password.
