Airport doesn´t connect automatically to Network with Zyxel

I am the proud owner of a new iMac Intel core duo 2,83Ghz since last wendsday. When I start the computer, Airport doesn´t connect automatically to my Home Network!! I checked all the settings - even them on the Router - severell times!! I use a Zyxell P-335WT Router. Fact is that allready had a Intel core duo based iMac. The automatically connection worked without any problem!!
Yesterday i phoned 1,5 hours with apple support - they couldn´t find the problem.
Has anybody an idea?? Last option is to put a new firmware on the router, and make new settings.

Same thing here. I have a belkin f5d7230 router. Wirelessly, my pc connects and stays connected, my old G4 with a reaktek wireless card connects and stays connected, and my new macbook pro connects and stays connected.
On my new iMac (purchased 3 weeks ago) airport extreme connects at start up and stays connected until the computer goes in a low power state or the screen saver goes on. then the connection drops. I have to click the little wireless "fan" graphic in the bar and select my network to connect again. This is CLEARLY an issue with this computer PERIOD. Apple needs to fix it one way or another preferably with a firmware update or something... I'm not interested in dragging this down to the apple store to have it sit there for a week.

Airport doesn't connect and corrupts network.

Hello,
This problem first started happening about 2 months ago. When I turn my macbook on and try to connect to my network, it connects but doesn't have an internet connection. After that it will corrupt the wireless and everything connected to the network is disconnected. This is fixed by resetting the router.
Before it was giving me an error that there was an IP conflict with another computer. So i manually changed it, but the problem persists.
Thank you,
Tom

Post a complete description of your system and we may be able to help.
What sort of internet connection is it, DSL modem make model other, what sort of wireless system, AirPort Base Station model, how are your network components connected etc.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to. I can't find anywhere in the utility or network preferences that will allow me to choose this router as the default. How do I fix this? BTW I'm using Lion.

Are there any previous networks that you have used that have the same password as Molly? YES
Using System Preferences > Network > AirPort Advanced again, you need to remove any listings of previous networks that used the same password as Molly. Click the name of the network and click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list of connections.
Also delete any other networks (except Molly at the top of the list) that might have used the same name...Molly in the past.
Delete any other networks that you no longer need so that your Mac will search for networks more quickly
Click OK, then click Apply
Open KeyChain Access and look for a listing of any old networks that you no longer need. Click to highlight the name of the network, then click the Delete Key on your computer.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the name Molly in the past and do the same for them.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the same password as the password for your "new" Molly network and delete them in the same way
Click the KeyChain Access menu just next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen
and then click KeyChain First Aid
Enter the main administrator password for the Mac you are using and highlight the Repair button. Then click Start. You will see a message that repairs have been completed
Quit Keychain Access
Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
Power up the modem first, then your main router, the other devices one at a time
Log on to Molly and see if the Mac remembers it after a few tries. If not, I'm afraid that you will need to change the name of the wireless network and password on your router due to corruption issues on the Mac. You have done everything possible without re-installing the complete operating system.

Help!! can't get my airport express to connect to my network

I have set up my airport express to connect to my network so I can play itunes with it but it says that the Airport has been set up but cannot connect To my network. I've tried it on both my computer and my wife's computer and we have the same problem. I have been able to connect in the past with my Airport express that I had for this one but for some reason I can't seem to connect it using this airport express. Any help would be much appreciated.

When joining a non-Apple WEP encrypted wireless network with an AirPort, you must use one of two different styles for password entry depending on whether the network is protected with an ASCII or HEX key.
ASCII password
If using a password that is plain ASCII text, use the double quotation mark (") before and after the password. These are case-sensitive, and they are at least five characters long for 40-bit encrypted networks or at least 13 characters long for 128-bit encrypted networks.
Hexadecimal password
If using a password that uses only the hexadecimal range of characters, add a dollar sign ($) before the password. These passwords are at least 10 characters long for 40-bit encrypted networks or at least 26 characters long for 128-bit encrypted networks.

10.5.5 airport unable to connect to school network

I have a santa roza macbook Pro, and I am now unable to connect to my schools wireless internet. I'm pretty sure this happened after the 10.5.5 update.
Before I was surprised at how solid the connection was; always full connection, no drop out's ever, reconnected in less then 2 seconds after sleep mode, and everything was working great!
Now I am simply unable to find the internet; airport doesn't connect automaticaly, and clicking on the airport menu just says "no networks found" or something like that.
I'm pretty sure my school has a linksys router, but I'm unsure of what model it is… Also, before this update I used to be able to connect to my neighboors wifi, now Airport (usually) can't find that either.
any ideas?

I read a few other threads about internet problems which mentioned resetting PRAM, removing the internets from the auto connect list in system preferences, and repairing permissions. I did everything, NONE OF IT WORKED.
I'm starting to get mad at apple now… what have they done to airport? It worked so beautifully in tiger…

HT1695 Hey, guys! I connected to the wi-fi by my iPhone (5) for 3 weeks. Now my iPhone doesn't connect to the network anymore. And I can't understand why. Will you please help me? It's strange,cause tonight I connected frequently. But now I can't! :(

HT4259 Why won't AirPort Utility let me extend my network with AirPort Express?

I have 2 1st Gen AirPort Express stations. I have my original AirPort wired into my modem with an ethernet cable and it works fine. I have my new AirPort plugged, well within range of the network but it doesn't show up in AirPort Utility making it impossible for me to extend the network.
All of the previous forums I've seen say to reset both routers and "set up manually" and select the box that says "allow this network to be extended". When I go to setup there is no option for either of these.
Am I missing something? What am I doing wrong?

All of the previous forums I've seen say to reset both routers and "set up manually" and select the box that says "allow this network to be extended". When I go to setup there is no option for either of these.
You are looking at instructions that apply to Snow Leopard and earlier operating sysems. You are using Lion or Mountain Lion.
Hold in the reset button on the Express that you want to use to extend for 9-10 seconds and release.
Close AirPort Utility if if it open.
As edex67 notes above, click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen and look for a listing of New AirPort Base Station. Just below that, click directly on AirPort Express.
AirPort Setup will open automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then tell you that the Express will be configured to "extend" the network.
Enter a device name that you want to use for the Express and click Next
AirPort Setup will take a minute to configure things. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
You are done, other than locating the Express approximately half way between your "main" Express and the area that needs more wireless coverage.

Girlfriend's computer can't connect to Express network with password-help!

Hi, first post here so please be gentle with me!
I have an Airport Express router which is working fine with my MBP running Leopard. Last week, my girlfriend got a new white MacBook but this new computer is unable to join my network when it is password-protected - I just keep on getting a message saying 'connection timeout' when I try and join the network. It works fine when I remove the password protection for the network, but this is hardly ideal because my network is then completely unsecured and anyone can join (I live in a block of flats). Also, whilst password protection is in place the problematic computer cannot find the Airport Express using Airport Utility, so I would be unable to make any changes if my computer was unavailable. I would be grateful for any guidance or help to resolve these issues as I want my network secure again!
Finally, I've noticed throughout my experimentation with security settings that my internet speeds are noticably improved when my wireless network is unsecure - has anyone else noticed this, and is the problem fixable?
Many thanks in advance for any advice.

I've downloaded Air Radar and our wireless network is on a separate channel to everyone else's and is apparently mostly running OK (although at one point last night it totally went dead and I just turned everything off in frustration). I've tried to simply put everything back to how it was before the problem started by making the network open and unprotected, which (after unplugging the modem and the Airport Express overnight and starting again this morning) seems to have helped on my computer, even though the internet is running slower than it was last week when everything was fine for both computers.
However, my girlfriends computer still won't connect to the internet. Last night it appeared to be because Airport on her computer had a self-assigned IP address which prevented the computer connecting to the internet - today I have turned off the Firewall and flushed the ipfw cache and although initially I could join the network (although not access the internet) it has just dropped the connection. Network diagnostics won't help because when it scans it doesn't appear to find any networks - just keeps scanning indefinitely.
I'm getting to the point now where I'm thinking of just formatting the hard disk and reinstalling the OS and starting again, unless anyone can offer any better suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help!

AIRPORT doesn't connect at startup/after sleep

Hi All,
I recently had to reconfigure my Airport Express - that worked fine but now my PowerBook doesn't automatically connect to my selected network, either after sleep or at startup. It connects fine manually, but never automatically.
The connection also doesn't stick when switching between users - it used to.
I saw a post here about deleting the keychain entry - I tried that but it didn't work.
I've tried multiple times to re-add the network into the "join this network" area of network prefs, but it won't connect automatically. Also tried copying & renaming the location but NG.
It worked beautifully before and I keep thinking there must be something I'm missing.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
R.Crooke

Hi R.Crooke, and a warm welcome to the forums!
You've done a ggod amount of the thungs that can work so far, but try this...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkConnect.<12 digit number>.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
These last two will need the originals Trashed since moving them actually just copies them to the desktop.
Reboot. Setup again.

Cannot get my new airport express to connect to my network

I just got my new airport express and I am trying to set it up so I can listen to my itunes on my stereo. I first tried to get it to connect wirelessly and then after reading some posts on here I connected it to my router and was able to configure up to the point of it connecting to my network. It keeps telling me that I am tring to connect to a network that doesn't exist and Ive tried many a times with no luck.... Please help!!!

Temporarily connect the AXn, by Ethernet, to the Netgear router. Use the AirPort Utility to configure the AXn as I had suggested earlier. Once configured, relaunch the AirPort Utility and verify that the settings "stuck." Once verified, you can move the AXn to the desired location. (Note: When the AXn is configured to "Join a wireless network," it will not longer be performing as a wireless router. Instead, it will function as a wireless client. Streaming audio, will originate from the iTunes host to the Netgear, and then, wireless to the AXn.)

Can't connect to wireless network with "conflicting" essid

Hello,
My wireless card works perfectly (actually I am using ndiswrapper, but anyway) on Arch and I can connect to my home wireless network. I use iwconfig to connect.
In my office we have a wireless network. It's essid is "default" and it uses WEP. I can connect to it using Windows, but not using Arch. Im running the following commands:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "default" key XXXXXXXXXX
dhcpcd wlan0
and it doesn't connect ("waiting for carrier..." and nothing happens)
I guess the problem is that there is another network with the same essid - "default". I've tried to manually associate my card with my office network AP using iwconfig wlan0 ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, but it didn't work either.
What should I do?

What kind of Wireless card do you have and what does it say when you do a lspci? So for me, I know I have a Broadcom and the way I found it was to do:
lspci | grep BCM4312 (or whatever wireless make/model you have)
or
lspci | grep "Network Controller"
The second option should also get it for you. From there, you can check out this list to see if that might help you with drivers (but then again, you might have known this already so...).
Hope this helps.

Can't connect to wireless network with Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista

I set up a wireless network about a week ago, and have made it with the following security features: WEP, enable only certain MAC addresses to connect, and disabled broadcasting the SSID. I have been able to use it just fine with my Mac computer using airport, but when I have tried to connect my roommates computer, a dell inspiron 1525 with vista, it can't connect. I can locate the network but when I try to connect to the network, I get a message saying that for an Windows cannot connect to the network and that the Wireless association failed due to unknown reasons. It then says to connect with your administrator, but that is me. I have a minimal knowledge of computers just enough to be dangerous and am basically figuring this out as I go along. If anyone has some advice for me, both my roommate and I will be very grateful.
Thanks,

I gather you mean hooking up cables to your computer? If so the answer is yes. My printer is hooked up to my Airport Extreme through its usb port. I can print wireless flawlessly.
