Airport refuses to connect unless I restart

After installing Leopard, my Airport has been having issues with the wireless network at my workplace. Whereas with Tiger, it would connect to the network and everything would work fine, with Leopard, Airport connects, but has a "self-assigned IP address". Nothing short of restarting will get the computer to connect to the internet; after restart, Airport connects, gets an IP address and everything works fine. This issue was NOT fixed in 10.5.1. Any suggestions?
May I add, an "upgrade" that breaks such fundamental aspects of the system is unacceptable.

You may have noticed that your issue is fairly common and no one single solution works. So all I can offer is a few things that I know have worked for me, my friends and colleagues, and my customers.
1) make sure your computer can connect wirelessly elsewhere. There's little worse than struggling with an issue at home only to discover it wasn't fixable.
2) make sure your base station's firmware is up to date
3) try turning off the security on your base temporarily and see if you can connect that way. If so, try a different security method.
4) try changing broadcast channels. You may have a neighbor on the same channel which blocks reception - I know, why this computer and not others? Voodoo
5) open your Network preference tab and select Airport. Delete any preferred networks you find and make sure that ask to join new networks is checked
6) create a new account and see if it has any better luck connecting. Last spring I struggled with a computer for several days and one of my IT students suggested this pointing out that I suggest it for many other troubleshooting issues. Darn smart aleck student! Obviously at some point the admin's network prefs got munged and everything I tried after that was for naught.
Good luck

Airport refuses to connect to dlink router

When I try to connect to dlink (WBR-1310) network, Airport gives me a message "There was an error joining the AirPort network dlink" after I enter my password. I created my password with the help of a dlink technician and they have no clue why it would not work. If I do not password protect my network, it works, but I do not want to go unprotected. Any suggestion? Thanks much.

danycom, Welcome to the discussion area!
When you say "Airport refuses to connect to dlink router", do you mean that you are trying to get an AirPort Express (AX) to connect wirelessly to the router? Or do you mean that you are trying to get your Mac to connect wirelessly to the router?

Airport Refuses all connects..

I had one of the old airports - the dome - and I have a second airport - the one that looks like a macbook powersupply - to extend the dome's range.
The dome finally died. So I retired it and brought the new(er) airport into the house to replace the dome. I have gone through the set-up multiple times, using all the security methods, but I can't get any device to successfully join after entering in my password.
On WEP mode, it tells me that I entered the wrong password....on WPA/WPA2, it just tells me that the device is unable to join.
I've tried entering the password as both "password" and password.
I've hard reset, and factory-reset the airport, only to reach the same end.
I am trying to connect from my iphone and ipad -- both devices were successfully connecting previously to the old airport and can connect to the lan @ work, so I know it's not the devices themselves.
Out of ideas - can anyone suggest something?
Thanks...

I had set-up the airport dhcp address pool that there was overlap with the router address pool which was causing the airport connects to fail...
Just in case someone else has this issue.

Airport refuses to connect to selected "Specific Network"

In Network under System Preference, I have my home wi-fi selected as the "Specific Network" on the Airport panel. About half the time the MBP wakes, it will connect with a neighbor's wi-fi. I've restarted the machine, changed the setting and restored it. Nothing works. This started acting up only a couple weeks ago. I've had this MBP since December.

Thank you, BDAqua. Creating a new network location solved my problem. I would've replied earlier; I wanted to be sure it continued to work over a few days.

Airport refuses to connect to wireless router... most of the time

I'm having a really odd problem with my MacBook Pro trying to connect to the internet via my wireless ZyXEL router. I've had the router for a while and use it to connect a Mac Pro and PC by LAN and a Wii and iPhone wirelessly and It's never given me a headache before.
Airport picks up the local WIFI networks, including mine, no problem. But when it tries to connect, after asking for the WEP Password, it just times out. I have tried creating the network connection manually within the "Network" area under "System Preferences" selecting various security methods (WEP Password, WEP 40/128-bit ASCII and None) but nothing works. And everytime I manually select the ZyXEL network it asks for the WEP password anyway. No matter how many times I put it in, it wont connect.
I also logged into the system preferences of the ZyXEL wireless router and input the MacBook Pro's MAC address and selected "allow access" but it still wont connect. Except just one time, when I simply turned Airport Off and On again it connected fine and didn't ask for the WEP Password?!? But then after I rebooted machine It won't connect again and turning Airport Off and On doesn't work anymore either.
Can anyone shed some light on the problem?
Thanks very much

Airport dropping signal?? can't find it unless I restart

I have an imac, it's only a week old. bought it as a refurb.
I ran some recommended updates, and within the day, the signal from wireless internet drops randomly (? i think) and then my computer won't recognize my server/signal unless I restart, then it works fine for a while til it drops.
?? any ideas would be helpful.
imac efi firmware update 1.1is the update that I suspect, only because shortly after I ran that update, I started having the problem. I don't know what the efi firmware 1.1 is.

I think I'm having a similar problem. My AirPort Extreme base station (802.11g) will "disappear." My airport menu shows that I'm still connected to the network, but when I open the AirPort admin utility, the base station does not appear. I hit the "rescan" button a few time, nothing. The only way I can get it back is to power-cycle the base station. I have 3 macs in the house and when the base station disappears, none of them can find it. My AirPort Express flashes amber indicating it too has lost the connection with the "main" base station. I've gone so far as to do a hard reset of the AirPort Extreme base station. Last night I changed the channel it's operating on, we'll see if that helps. Any clue as to why it would just drop off like that?

My macbook on startup now refuses to connect to my airport express

My macbook refuses to connect to my airport express, but instead auto connects to someone else's, my network preferences seem correct, even after I correct this, and get the mac to connect to my Airport express manualy, if I put my macbook lid down, when I reopen it it is back to the other wireless connection. There is no pasword on the rogue connection. This is driving me mad and have had to turn my macs wireless off, as when I reverted to Ethernet it was still registering as being connect via wireless, i e rogue site and it froze again and again.
Could I have a problem with security here or is it a case of some gulible person failing to password protect? Whatever can someone please advize as we have a number of commuters in the house which cannot now get on line.

Hi,
I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" with SSD 256 Gb and its almost a brand-new (the 4th time to use the device) a while ago i was trying to connect to my home wireless network it said that the connection is timed out so i clicked the airport sign on the top it said that your airport is not configured then I restarted the system but it didn't restarted it showed the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel for more than 10min so I tried the force shutdown by pressing the power button till it switched off I waited for 5min then pressed the power button to start or boot the system and again the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel, I waited for more than 20min nothing changed, any solution please?
Your help is really appreciated"

Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
Thanks really appreciating your help

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.

Airport express loses connection and blinks amber until restarted many times a day.

I have an AirPort Extreme as my,main router with a gen 1 airport express and 2 gen 2 express as range extenders to cover all 3 floors and outdoor area. I have an Insteon HUB connected to one 2nd generation express and an Insteon IP camera that is on the far edge of the WiFi coverage area. About 3-5 times daily, the express will blink amber and lose connection. I need to either restart the network from airport utility or just unplug and restart the specific express. This fixes the problem but only temporarily. Why does this occur? Is it due to the wireless camera losing connection? It seems to occur when I try to access the camera or devices thru the Insteon App. I have purchased the additional express thinking it was a poor connection to the other range extender but this has made no difference. I have been on tech support with Insteon for many hours,and they are unable to help. Any suggestions?

Hello Daniel Epps. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Every few minutes, it seems to temporarily lose its connection to the internet and start flashing amber until it reconnects. It's extremely annoying. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it an airport problem, or a cable modem problem?
It could be either or neither ...
It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing you from getting a good clean signal, and what I would check for first.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:
o MacStumbler, or
o iStumbler

In 10.7 my Airport Disks only connect once...

Here is my setup:
I have a MBP that used to run 10.6.x. I had an AExtBS and two satellite AExpBSes, one of which was hooked up to a very nice stereo. My iTunes library is very very large - several Ts of lossless audio. That library lives on a drive that is connected to a powered USB hub. There are actually two drives connected to that hub, one of which is my iTunes library and one of which is a backup drive. That hub is connected into the back of my AExtBS.
Under 10.6.x I used to two two things successfully. The first thing I used to do was backup to one of the drives connected via that powered hub to my AExtBS. I understand that this is controversial, and that the official line from Apple is that it's not supported (and then it is, and then it isn't again). But, the on-the-ground reality is that it worked wonderfully for years, and successfully data demonstrated no problems. Since I have upgraded to 10.7.x a couple of weeks ago, I have not tried to backup yet. However, more importantly, is problems with my audio.
Under 10.6.x I used to be able to click on my AExtBS, and after a few seconds the drives would appear. Then I would click on my music drive, and once I saw the confirming arrow, then I could choose the remote iTunes library and play music either through my computer or through one of my satellite AExpBSes. Since I have upgraded to 10.7.x, I am seeing an unusual behaviour. I can follow the same steps I just listed once successfully. But, if I close the computer, or go to another network and return, or anything of that sort, when I return the computer to my network I cannot get the AExtBS to respond as a device with remote drives. If I click on the drive, if attemtps to connect for a looooong time and then eventually refuses the connection. In fact, something unusual must be happening to the AExtBS itself, because I cannot even get the settings to open in either version of the Airport Utility. Restarting (unplugging and plugging back in) the AExtBS doesn't even work. The only way I can get the AExtBS to respond is if I walk down to it and depress the reset button - not for five second, but just for one tap. That does something, and once it goes green again I can get back into it via Airport Utility and I can access my msuci again... until my computer leaves the network or goes to sleep.
This never ever happened under 10.6.x, so my initial thought is that it is an OS issue - something about how the OS is interacting with the AExtBS as a file source is confusing to the router. Any thoughts?

So, I tried resetting the AEBS and that worked for a day. Then it went back to the error. I was booted and I still cannot connect to my Airdisk. Never had this problem in 10.6.x. Any thoughts?
This problem is just for connection to the directory, not for backing up.

Airport (MacBook) cannot connect to 2wire's router

I'm using MacBook and has been trying to connect to my 2wire's wireless router but to no avail. Read a few posts, and have tried including a '$' before the WEP password, still it refused to connect.
The router works fine when I connect it using an Ethernet cable, and airport works fine when I'm outside connecting to my school's wireless network (though I'm not sure what router it is.)
Can anyone suggest anything to help? Do I need to update my router's firmware or anything?
MacBook 13" - White Mac OS X (10.4.7) iWorks '06, Office:mac, iLife '06, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, Adobe CS

I just did a quick google search with your 2Wire model and problems with connections to Airport cards, didn't find a whole lot, but after reading some of the posts in various forums and answers or possible solutions, I realized just how easy it is to have a connection not work because of one small detail (a setting as random as having both router and laptop set to always connect on a certain channel number (6 usually being default), but if one was 6 and the other was 11 (which I personally like a lot more and is better in my surroundings with too many other WiFi signals using channel 6).
This is also a big problem (more likely to occur) if using a router that is part of a Windows Network (like mine is) and then having the laptop (being a MacBook) trying to use Mac stuff to connect itself into the mix. Normally, this shouldn't be too bad, or like for me, it was easier than setting up WiFi on my windows laptop (and it starts more quickly than my windows which takes a couple minutes to find the router and totally connect to it).
When I first turned on my MacBook, and it started up and did it's thing for the first time, with me entering info and getting the registration done, at whatever point either before all that or soon after, it asked if I wanted it to find my internet connection (I didn't have an Ethernet cable plugged in at that time) and when I hit the button for yes, it immediately found it and had it configured perfectly. This may not be the case for others, so you would want to check through some of the basic details that you can usually find on both sides of the connection (router and wireless card).
First, start off by seeing if your MacBook is showing it's MAC Address, and see if it has an IP Address listed for your machine as well. Also, check what you have it set up for: Automatic DCHP retrieval (from the router) or Manual (where you then enter in the info yourself in the available boxes). You need to try and see if you have your Airport doing anything at all (which might mean it is connected to it's own network and not to any internet connection or other computers). With this case, you should be able to "find" other WiFi signals in the area and even join those networks if they are "open" and you don't need a password. If you can't do that, then I think it is more in the settings (is wifi listed as your top choice of internet connection, is it enabled, and all that "you have to ask yourself just because you don't want to miss anything, even though you are pretty sure you weren't being stupid and trying to use the wireless with it disabled"). Heh. Sorry, stupid questions need to be asked.
You will also want to check all the things (like mentioned earlier) the Channel # that you are using (both on the router and laptop, need to match), as well as signal strength (if you have more WiFi activity around you or possible interference from inside your apartment/house then you will generally want to turn it up to about 10 for strongest signal without buying an extender/booster thing, the default can be very low like anywhere from 3-5 only.
Match up the Encryption formats and types (WEP or WPA) and then the other parts like PSK (and) TKIP... This is what I use and is the most common (best) for home users: Set it as WPA using PSK-TKIP and since you have a 2Wire gateway, there should be a sticker on the bottom of it that has a serial number with bar code, and a set of numbers underneath it - which is your gateway's default WPA password. Stick to this for now, and when you get things working, then later on you can always go and change it (and change it in your connection settings on your laptop too), but this is not needed really.
Also, to make it easier to see your connection, start off by turning on the SSID broadcast and *Change your Network Name*. This is not needed for any real purpose other than making it easier to see your's in a list (as all 2Wire routers show up as 2WIRExxx with the last 3 x's being the last 3 numbers of your router's serial number). More than half of the wifi spots that show up around me are other 2Wire systems...
After you test whether your MacBook can find (show in the list) your (now uniquely named) Network, you have more info to go on. Either it sees it and you can connect which means you can possibly setup a connection to use *just your router* if that's what you want to do, and also hide/disable the SSID Broadcast, OR, you still don't see the router listed and you know you have more looking and tweaking to do.
I don't know how much work you want to put into trying to test this all out etc, I just wanted to throw out some starting points for you and if you try them and they don't work and want to give up, that's your decision, but if you try stuff and it works or not and still need some possible help (even just brainstorming suggestions of what might be wrong and what's causing it - maybe even how to fix it finally) then I'll try to help you out as much as I can. It's usually easier for me to figure out stuff like this by "testing" and playing around with the items in question myself compared to asking questions and getting you to tell me what worked, what didn't etc, but while it might not be all nice and quick, we may end up coming up with a solution to it after a while (or at least know what it most likely isn't).
And this will give you a good chance at exploring your system a bit more with settings and hardware (will make you more comfortable over time with these types of things if you do small little "explorations" every now and then, if you don't already have much experience). I did also read at the macosxhints forums (I think it was there) that Macs Airport products do have some random problems working cooperatively with certain routers (I have seen many posts with people using a Linksys WiFi Router and having the same sort of issues, whether it was only after the wireless update or not I am not totally sure of).
I actually only just did my update (with the other update, was it for iTunes?) and I haven't been at home for more than a little bit since I restarted my MacBook (haven't used it yet, I'm in another room) and so I hope that it didn't do anything to my WiFi connection at all... Heh.

Installed 10.8.4 and now my wifi refuses to connect to any WPA2 network!

Installed 10.8.4 update yesterday in the office. After restart my wifi refused to connect to the network although it was connecting to it fine before the update. Used ethernet and downloaded the Combo update. No improvement. It connects to the public wifi but not to the WPA2. Went home and opened my MBA and found that it does not connect to my peronal WPA2! Removed security from my Guest network and it connects fine. Put the WPA2 back, and it refuses to connect. Any ideas?

seems the problem is that the 10.8.4 didn't install properly. here is the install log:

My airport will not connect to the Internet

I am trying to set up my airport express. I have set the Internet connection to Ethernet to reflect my satellite modem and dhcp. The airport express connects to devices in my home but not to the modem. I have tried to adjust the settings but it refuses to connect to the Internet. I have no idea what to do and there doesn't appear to be anyone who can help. I have two apple mobile devices and a desktop and laptop computer running windows seven.

Sorry, I found the error, FIXED

Airport refuses to connect unless I restart
