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

  • 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.

  • 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
    2. Navigate to 192.168.1.1 or http://vz.hotspot
    3. Sign into the MiFi with the admin password printed on the back of the device
    4. Navigate to WiFi Settings > Security
    5. Change the Security Type
    6. Confirm and record your wirelss password in the Password field (this will change from type to type)
    7. Click Apply

  • My macbook 10.5.8 is having airport connectivity issues

    I have a macbook 10.5.8 with intel core 2 duo. Everytime i log in, my internet works for 2 seconds, and then i automatically get switched to a guest wifi network from my neighbor. Which doesn't even work. When i try to connect to my network, it continually says connection timeout. This has been happening for over 3 years. I have restored my router AND my modem to factory settings, but it still doesn't work. If i turn off airport, it works again for 2 secs. then goes back to not working. I really need help. please contribute, thank you.

    It depends on your Macbook model how to open the bottom case.
    Anyway you need to open up the buttom case or keyboard panel to access the CPU fan like following.

    If you think you can't do that by yourself, you'd better bring it to Apple Store Genius Bar or Authorized Servce Shop to tell them about the problem.

  • 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!
    -Belril

    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...

  • Wi-Fi Airport Connectivity Issues

    I recently returned back to school this week and my wifi was working properly, i logged into the school network yesterday and i received a message from my Norton Anti-virus software saying "ARP Cache Poisoning." Since yesterday i can no longer access the schools wireless network nor connect to it through a hardline. I have the previous generation MacBook Pro 15" basic configuration running 10.5.8. Any thoughts or suggestions to help me resolve my problem and connect to the network and gain access the the internet would be greatly appreciated.

    Any thoughts or suggestions to help me resolve my problem
    Get rid of Norton before doing further troubleshooting. It's caused more problems that benefits for most Mac users. It's hard to suggest other steps until Norton's madness is out of the picture.
    Check to see it there is an uninstall package in the Norton folder. NAV sticks files in several different places so a manual removal may not get all the minions.
    Once NAV is out of the picture, restart the computer and see if it works.

  • Built in Airport Extreme location:  Where is it?  Connection issues

    I have an iMac G5, the one prior to the iSight release with the built in Airport Extreme. I am having wireless connection issues where I either have an incredibly low signal or no connection at all. I also have an ibook G4 that has full signal strength when placed next to the imac. I have been told the antenna may be loose on the Airport card but alas when I opened the computer, there was no Airport Card to be found. I was e-mailed a diagram of the location of the Airport card and realized it was for the prior version of the imac that came with the Airport as an option. i was informed Airport is "built in". So does this mean there is no antenna that could inadvertently be knocked out? I scoured this forum for solutions and found a handful of people with identical issues but no solution. Just wondering if anyone has an answer to this problem as I am starting to lose hope. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Warren, you have what is referred to as Rev B or ALS (Ambient Light Sensor) Imac and yes the Airport Extreme is integrated on the system board and there is no antenna connection like on the Rev. A Imac. One of the first things to check is in System Preferences => Network => Network Port Configurations make sure Airport is at the top of the list, if not then drag it to the top. Another thing people have found out is Bluetooth devices can cause interferance, I can't comment with this as I don't have any Bluetooth but if you do you could try a wired keyboard and mouse and turn off Bluetooth in System Preferences to see if it changes. Good luck and post back with results, Bob :~))

  • Airport Extreme, PS3 and Netflix connectivity issue.

    Up until a few months ago my setup was working fine to stream Netflix over my PS3, now I am unable to stream netflix on my PS3 when connected to my Airport.  Before you jump to the conclusion that the PSN outage is the root cause of my current issues let me assure you that is not the case.
    1. I am connected via ethernet (not wirelessly, although that does not work either for the record).
    2. I have updated my PSN password and am able to connect and use other services (such as multiplayer games) successfully.
    3. I can use netflix on any of my other computers connected to the same Airport without issues (wired or wireless).
    When I connect the PS3 directly to my modem everything works fine, netflix connects and I can play anything I could before.  As soon as I connect my Airport between my modem and my PS3 the ability to use netflix disappears.
    I have attempted port forwarding (80 and 443).
    I have NAT Port Mapping enabled.
    I have tried setting the PS3 up with a static IP and enabled it as the default host (DMZ).
    I have tried connecting wirelessly.
    I have tried changing the MTU on the PS3 to 1492 (a suggestion from another forum).
    I have tried power cycling all the equipment.
    I have even tried resetting my Airport to factory defaults, all with no luck.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue?  I have seen a few other threads from last year dealing with the Xbox360 but nothing current.  This is driving me crazy as we have been without netflix now for months.  Any help or suggestion that I have not tried???

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Is your Netgear a simple modem (it will have only one ethernet port) or is it a gateway (combination modem & router with 3-4 ethernet ports)?
    If your Netgear is a gateway, as I suspect, have you configured the AirPort Extreme as a "bridge" so that it will function correctly on the network?
    AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Internet icon > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Might be a good idea to check your ethernet cable as well. It should connect from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Netgear gateway to the WAN (circle icon) port on the AirPort Extreme.

  • G4  (10.4.11) airport (9.52) wifi connectivity issue w WPA access point

    I am struggling to resolve a wi-fi connectivity issue between a G4 imac with airport card and a netgear wireless-n access point.
    The set up is as follows - the broadband comes into a Netgear router (DG834Gv5)which my Intel imac connects wirelessly to. Two daughter's den is away downstairs so I run an ethernet cable from the main netgear router to a netgear Pro-safe wireless access point (WNAP210) as an extender (we live on a houseboat so there are metal bulkheads and the like inbetween.
    In the den older daughters G5 wirelessly connects to the Netgear access point easily through a WPA-PSK connection.
    Younger daughters G4 running 10.4.11, with original airport card running firmware 9.52 (airport admin utility 4.2) refuses with the 'wrong password' error (it isn't - I have checked 50x) or sometimes just 'there was an error joining'.
    It can see the network strongly (the airport menubar icon goes full, then cuts, then flashes on, then drops) but refuses any traffic.
    This G4 can however connect, weakly, with my upstairs router which is also WPA-PSK protected (same password)!
    I have read all the forums on this and despite some non-expert posts muddling the issue I believe that this SHOULD be possible. Not WPA2 I know but basic WPA.
    In addition the options in the netgear extender are b&g (like upstairs which works), g or n. So I have selected b&g - no difference.
    Currently I have had to set a separate channel for her and leave it unsecured which isn't a long term option (I am just hoping that even the cleverest war-driver cant sneak in through the extender, back up to the traffic between my Intel and the main router !!?)
    Can anyone suggest what I might be missing in the conjuration (sic, ahem) configuration settings either on the G4 or the Netgear box ?
    Is it enough to turn the broadcasting of the open channel name off and so render it invisible ?
    Thanks in advance for any expert person's attention

    hi kathryn
    did it have to be the Telekom, by all means??
    anyway, first of all a link to a video where a german comedian writes a letter to steve jobs demanding he chose any carrier but the DTAG for the iPhone distribution in germany - really funny!
    http://bit.ly/4B4OdQ
    OK, I´m currently downloading the speedport manual from their website and will look through it, in order to see if there´s something in there..
    as a first guess I´d try looking at the wireless prefs of that speedport box. I guess it supports by default 802.11a/b/g, whereas the G4 only does 802.11b (the "normal" airport). Try selecting only the 802.11b portion from the speedport (that makes networking somewhat slower for airport express computers, but shoudn´t be a problem since it´s still at least as fast as basic DSL service (11MBit vs 2 or 6 MBit)
    cheers

  • Airport Extreme Base Station Internet Connection issue

    I have a connection question for Airport Extreme Base Station.
    I have Comcast cable broadband. I connect that to a Linksys router for
    use with my Vonage phone, and then from the Linksys router I connect
    via Ethernet to my iMac. I like the direct Ethernet connection for
    performance reasons.
    In order to set up a home network to connect my Tivo's (and eventually
    my PC and printer), I have set up an Airport Extreme Base station and
    connected it to the Linksys router from it's ethernet connection to the
    WAN (cable modem) input on the Extreme.
    I have connected to the Airport network with my iMac, but since I am
    connected to the Internet via Ethernet, I cannot tell if my Airport is
    connected to the Internet so that I can use it for my Tivo. My PC is
    still in storage from a move, so I can't check with that.
    My question: How can I tell if my Airport is connected to the Internet
    without disabling my Ethernet connection on my iMac?
    A few more info points/questions in case it helps answer:
    1) I previously used this Airport to connect this iMac wirelessly.
    2) Should I be connecting it to the LAN port since it's coming out of
    the router?
    3) If the connection issue is because I am going through the Linksys
    first, can I connect the modem to the airport and then use the LAN port
    to connect to the Linksys router?
    4) If I have to disable the ethernet connection to test the Airport,
    how do I do it? Just unplug it?
    I appreciate any help as the online and manual help from Apple is not
    quite up to par with such a complex configuration.
    Regards
    Bill

    2) Should I be connecting it to the LAN port since it's coming out of
    the router?
    No, connecting to the WAN port is fine.
    3) If the connection issue is because I am going through the Linksys
    first, can I connect the modem to the airport and then use the LAN port
    to connect to the Linksys router?
    The issue is that you have two routers which effectively creates two networks. Unless this was your original intent, you will want to setup the AEBS as a bridge.
    To set up the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) as a bridge, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, make these settings:
    Network tab
    - Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
    - Apply the new settings.
    - Wait at least 5 minutes.
    4) If I have to disable the ethernet connection to test the Airport,
    how do I do it? Just unplug it?
    Well, that's certainly one way, but an easier way is to temporarily disable the "Built-in Ethernet" in your network configuration.
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Built-in Ethernet (unchecked)

  • Does the recent Airport update help connectivity issues?

    I always have issues with my D-link router, which I haven't been able to test since the update. Are people still having connectivity issues and dropped signals since updating?

    Usually a update is released to fix and improve functionality. This time a lot of users reported the update caused bugs and even connection problems. If you're already in troubles you can install it and see if it fix your issue.
    Consider that your router could be faulty. I replaced mine with a US Robotics after having used my old d-link for 2 years.
    I hope that helps, bye

    It says you have the wrong password.

    Reset the TC to factory and start again.
    But do not be surprised if the v5 utility no longer works to do the setup.

  • Airport Connection

    Hi all - I'm hopeful you might be able to help me diagnose a problem I'm having.
    I have a first generation MacBook Pro. As of this morning I was running 10.5.6 and up until this week was using a linksys router and a comcast cable modem.
    I used to have a great wifi signal throughout the house (always full strength), and around 12-18 months ago noticed the signal would weaken. The best I would get would be minus the top bar on the signal, and usually only if I was directly above or next to the room with the router. There were no new phones or devices added that might adjust the signal. On the other side of the house, I would have no signal at all.
    My wife has a nine year old ibook and has no issues connecting through wifi.
    When I bring my laptop to her parents' house or to the Apple store, where they use Belkin on N or Airport Extreme, I get a full signal.
    I've recently suffered a hard drive failure and had a replacement drive installed. The problem persists despite the software update.
    Not knowing if it was a router issue or an airport card issue or a combination thereof, I went to the Genius Bar. The genius recommended I upgrade my router to Airport Extreme, and if that doesn't work to return it and he'd focus on the airport card or antenna. I could get the flat rate repair (no AppleCare at this point) for $320+ to repair the problem if Extreme didn't work.
    I installed the Airport Extreme router and got a full signal in the basement, far side of the house, upstairs - everywhere. Until around 10pm. The signal died from the basement. If I walked into the room with the Airport Extreme router, I'd get a full signal. If I left the room, I'd get a partial signal. If I walked any distance (10-12 feet), the signal would die. I restarted both the modem and router with no change. I reinstalled the linksys router and got a depreciated connection. I restarted the Airport Extreme again and got a full signal throughout the night, morning, through restarts, and when I returned home from work.
    Last evening after using youtube extensively it died again. Linksys would barely work if I switched back, and no matter how many times I restarted I couldn't get the signal to last outside of the area of the router. I left it in the basement overnight shut down, restarted this morning, and had a full signal.
    I'm looking for any potential guesses as to what may be causing the problem. I don't want to replace the card if it's the antenna or sink too much cash into a machine if it's a heat related issue linked to Generation 1 syndrome.
    During all of this the ten year old ibook works fine. I know a lot of macbook pros have issues with their wireless and don't want to sink in the cash if it's more complex than that. Any advice is much appreciated!

    I am still trying to figure out the best set up to have all my computers on-line. I have my G3 back from the shop. I have a cable modem and a D-Link router and wireless adapter which is 802.11b. The guide says it is for windows software. I have the new G5 and a old Compaq computer with Windows 98SE. The G5 will be on the main floor of the house and the G3 and Windows in the basement. I will have to move the cable since the computer is getting moved to a different room, so I am trying to figure out which Mac gets the cable hooked to it. Sounds like I could run the cable, modem and router to the G3 in the basement and the D-link wireless adapter would get the Windows on-line and then would I have to buy Airport Extreme for the new G5. The G3 has airport stuff, but no card installed. So if I hooked the cable to the upstairs computer G5, how would I get the G3 in the basement on-line? (get card installed + Airport Extreme?) The Netgear router looks great, but are you saying I should buy that and Airport Extreme. I am a little spent out lately with the purchase of the computer, iPods and recent vacation. I hope this wasn't too confusing. Terri
