Airport / Wifi settings???

I recently set-up a wireless internet system, but it's not working correctly. Half the time, I need to search for the network even when the wireless modem is just 12 feet away. Are there any settings I should be changing in preferences to get this sucker up and running correctly. I have an airport extreme, but I don't have the antennae installed ... could this small thing cause such a big problem?

I have an airport extreme, but I don't have the antennae installed...
Most AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) do not have an antenna port. Even the models with an antenna port have a built-in antenna so the external antenna is not required for most people.
OR do you have a Power Mac G5 which requires the external antenna to be installed? If so, then yes you need to connect that antenna.
Are you using the AEBS or "wireless modem" to create the wireless network?
Have you tried changing the channel used by the device creating the wireless network? It could be that the channel you are using has a lot of RF interference and is causing you problems.

    what is the trick with getting connected to airport WiFi?  It takes forever to go from the settings portion then to the browser to "accept" terms.  Am I missing something to speed the process?

    OK, I figured out from the various postings on here and way too many hours overnight how to pretty much make the Yoga do what it is supposed to do. I've written up a step by step at this link that may help some of you with your problems as well
    Let me know if this helps!

  • Can't access Time Machine settings when AirPort (WiFi) is on.

    Problem:
    My iMac (2.66 MHz Inter Core Duo) with 10.5.8 needs an upgrade to Maverick...it is connected to my home network with AirPort
    I have a NAS on my home network (Verbatim MediaShare 2TB) wired connected, which I have had working as a drive for TM-backups. It stopped working with TM about 1,5 year ago, did never figure out why, backups just failed.
    Now I want to get it going again for a fresh backup prior to the OS upgrade.
    The issue I am facing now is that I cant access the settings for the backup drive in TM settings as the AirPort is on.
    I need AirPort on to be able to mount the drive of the NAS, but then I cant access TM-settings. If I switch of AirPort temporarly to access TM-settings the drive which I need to select is dismounted.
    I am kind of stuck. Why is this happening?

    the NAS Volume for backup "COMPUTERSBACKUP$" can be mounetd as it should when AirPort is on.
    Hi, label explains the problem pretty much...
    That is: The dialog in TM where the disk for TM to put backuped data is not accessable when the iMac has connection to my home network. The button is there, but when i press it notheing happends. If i deactivate the network interface, the dialog opens.
    I hope this claryfy my problem.

  • Airport wifi problems with uverse and gigabit switch resolved

    I think there is a bug in airport firmware 7.6 with how spanning tree works in addition to problems with the Uverse router. Having an Airport with a uverse 2wire 3801 and gigabit switch will not work. Putting the extreme in NAT mode with DMZ plus behind the uverse resolved the problem.
    Network configuration:
    Uverse 2wire 3801 router
        3801 provides prioritization for upstream traffic so skype and VoIP work better when doing a lot of stuff on Internet
    Airport extreme firmware 7.6
    two airport express 802.11n hardwired to extreme. Set up in bridge mode. All access points have same SSID "create a network" to enable roaming. Ignore anything to do with extending a network.  firmware 7.6
    two gigabit switches
        Netgear GS608 - 8 port gigabit switch
        Trendnet TEG-S80g - 8 port gigabit switch
        100BT 5 port switch - did not figure into problem
    Three Uverse set top boxes wired on Ethernet. They have to be wire directly to the 2wire box to work correctly. See: http://forums.att.com/t5/Features-and-How-To/At-amp-t-U-Verse-modem-setup-Airpor t-Extreme/td-p/2300785
    However, you need to be careful to place your own PCs and other internet devices on the network created by your gear (airport extreme in your case), but keep AT&T's set top boxes for the IPTV services IN FRONT of your own router - so they remain on AT&T's provided network.
    So it would work like this ...
    Network 1: 2wire RG (4 lan ports) ->  Any Set tops, and to the WAN port on your AirportExtreme
    Network 2: Airport Extreme LAN ports -> to any computers or internet devices (but not AT&T set top boxes).
    The RG prioritizes the traffic for your Uverse Voice and your Uverse TV ahead of internet data traffic, as it rationalizes data heading out of your home.  If you place your own equipment in that equation (like putting AT&T set top boxes behind your Airport Extreme) the performance and function of your AT&T set top boxes could really flake out on you.
    Symptom:
        Everything would be working fine, then intermittently all my wifi access points would stop working. ~6,000 ms latency, dropped packets. Ethernet worked fine. Here is an example of my macbook pinging the extreme when associated with the extreme over wifi with a strong signal.

    64 bytes from 192.168.1.64: icmp_seq=36 ttl=255 time=39.828 ms
    Root cause:
        It looks like the 2wire 2801 router has a problem with spanning tree when interoperating with gigabit switches and airports. There is interplay with the airport.
    I did not have this problem until the 7.6 airport firmware. I had been using the Netgear hub for about a year with the extreme in bridge mode. I added the Trendnet hub and upgraded airport firmware at the same time which made fault isolation difficult.
    Problem recreation:
    Set up airport expresses hard wired to extreme
    Connect gigabit switch anywhere to network
    Everything OK
    Dettach one computer from wifi then reattach, then all wifi stops working. It takes a few seconds for the problem to propagate.
    Ethernet still works fine
    Problem Resolution:
    Connect to 2wire with ethernet
    Set 2wire route to have subnet as 192.168.2.x
    Set extreme in NAT mode behind 2wire. It will complain about double NAT. Override the warning. Set the subnet to 192.168.1.x so you don't have to change any static IP addresses. Note that 2wire uses 192.168.1.254 as default route whereas airport uses 192.168.1.1.
    I set DHCP to start at .10 to leave the lower addresses for assigning static IP addresses to computers I want to expose outside the firewall.
    Go into firewall settings. Select airport extreme. Select the bottom setting which is "DMZ Plus". When you go into the airport extreme settings, you will now see that it has the uverse public IP address on its WAN port. NAT port mappings work fine on the extreme behind the 2wire router.

    Keeping this very short here is a summary of the actual problem and solution to allow your Apple Airport Extreme to run in Bridge mode on the same subnet as your uVerse settop boxes (if your Layer 2 switch is configurable). 
    Devices: Uverse, Cisco SG300, and Airport Extreme
    uVerse uses Multicast to broadcast video streams between the uVerse network to the settop box, and from settop box to settop box.
    X number of Multicast Groups are created based on X number of settop boxes you have.  You can see the multicast definitions by logging into the webinterface of the iNid. Each settop box is a member and can choose to display a broadcasted TV stream or not.
    Multicast membership is setup by the use of ICMP messages for IPv4 (MLD for IPv6).  Each of the settop boxes become members of each others multicast group by reporting up to the iNid (MultiCast Proxy).
    In an ideal world a layer 2 switch will track these memberships and only forward a broadcast packet to the ports on the switch to which the settop boxes are connected to.  The switch would do these via snooping on the ICMP packets.  Most switches by default do not do this by default and simply forward the broadcast packett out every one of it's switch ports.
    Here in lies the problem.  Problem is that the Apple AES doesn’t do ICMP snooping / filtering and floods the wireless network with these broadcast streams.
    In order to fix this you must turn on ICMP snooping and filtering on the switch (or buy a switch that does this).  I have a Cisco SG300 and list out the configuration below.
    Other notes:
    Ensure that all Media renderers (settop boxes) and servers are wired directly off the switch and not attached to any of the Airport Express ports.  This way no media transverses the Airport (only control point traffic goes through the WiFi - which is fine).  Obviously if the IGMP snooping switch sees any client requesting Multicast streaming traffic on the same port as the WAP, it will add that Multicast address to the forwarding table for that port, and then, yes it could get flooded.
    Remember, you need to allow some Multicast traffic through your WAP to allow UPnP discovery to work (assuming that you will be using Wireless control points.)
    Read the Multicast chapter in the SG 300 switch Admin Guide as it explains things very well.
    Setting up multicast on the SG300s using the WebUI:
    1. Multicast/Properties/
    Tick enable Bridge Multicast Filtering Status for VLAN 1, and
    set the Forwarding Method to IP Group Address for both IPv4 & IPv6.
    2. Multicast/ IGMP snooping/
    Tick enable IGMP snooping status then select and edit the entry and ensure that IGMP querier status is ticked.
    It's essential for IGMP snooping to work that there must be at least one active IGMP querier on the network - if more than one is enabled, they will carry out an "election" to decide which one should be active (normally the one with the lowest IP address.)
    3. Multicast Router Port
    Set whichever port that is connected to the uVerse iNid to Status which means that it the uVerse router connected to this port is the Multicast Router
    4. Multicast/ Unregistered Multicast
    set all ports to Filtering. (The default is Forwarding.)
    There are a lot of other variables within all the above - the defaults are OK, you should probably leave them alone!
    In the config file you would then expect to see the above appearing as something like this:
    ip igmp snooping
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1 immediate-leave
    interface vlan 1
    bridge multicast mode ipv4-group
    bridge multicast ipv6 mode ip-group
    interface range gi1-10
    bridge multicast unregistered filtering
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1 querier
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1 querier address <IP-Addr>

  • Password input and save WiFi Settings

    Hi @all,
    I've got 2 Q's:
    #1: Is there another way to enter the WiFi password, other than with the remote? My WiFi pwd is 64 characters long including special chars. Hence, entering this pwd with the remote is a bit cumbersome.
    #2: how do I save different WiFi settings on AppleTV (second gen)? when I switch known networks, I've to re-enter the pwds. The iPhone or OS X saves those settings - how can I instruct AppleTV to do that?
    i tried to configure AppleTV using iTunes or AirPort Utility, but I could not connect to ATV...
    TIA,
    JC

    i guess the only time this would be needed is if you take the appletv to different locations on a regular basis.
    the reason for my 2 different networks: I connected all my devices to the first one and the other one is a MiFi hotspot w/ access to the internet. I don't have DSL, and for my browsing needs 3G is fast enough even for renting movies from iTunes. Although I could "merge" the 2 WiFi into one, I'd like to keep them separate; especially as the "work WiFi" has much longer password and I don't want to punch that into ATV using the remote
    Thanx @all for the help, I appreciate it! JC

  • Connected to airport wifi but not connected to internet

    I am using an airport wifi - time capsule.  The internet works on my Mac which is wired in; however when I try the wifi I can connect to the airport network I made and have used for years but a the network does not connect to the internet.  I have powered down/ restarted and all that typical stuff.  Thoughts?
    I am running Snow Leopard if that matters 

    Ok, this is clear and simple.
    Your TC is wrongly configured. I am not sure if it has been like this for years and you are now adding a computer but the reason it is failing is because you have captured the public IP on the imac which is wired so the wireless computer cannot get an IP address.
    You need to
    1. Power off your cable modem.. I am assuming it is cable service .. if not tell me.
    It needs to go off for 20min or so for the imac to drop the captured public IP.
    2. Reset the TC to factory.. this will not harm your backups.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    3. Since you are using snow leopard you must be on v5 airport utility.
    The main things to do in the setup is to ensure you set the right settings for internet.
    You are going to share a public IP .. at the moment you are bridged.
    Then just check that the actual connection is set to dhcp.
    Yours will look different ... don't worry about the actual numbers it is the using dhcp that is key.
    Setup the base station name and wireless to create a wireless network.
    eg.. I suggest all names that are short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Just tell us if you run into troubles.

  • My MBA indicates my connection is timing out. My wifi on other laptops work in the house. Diagnostics indicate wifi settings failed, network settings failed, ISP failed, Internet failed, and server failed. What can I do?

    My MBA indicates my connection is timing out. My wifi on other laptops work in the house. Diagnostics indicate wifi settings failed, network settings failed, ISP failed, Internet failed, and server failed. What can I do?

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 9
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • TS1398 I am traveling tomorrow and I have had trouble connecting to airport wifi...why?

    I was at the airport in Atlanta and could not connect to the public wifi.  I chose that one and the next page had no other info or entry...help!

    Airport wifi sometimes requires you to sign up/create an account and then usage is sometimes limited for a certian amount of time. Its also not always free, even though it may be listed as public. If directs you to another page, then there should be other instructions on how to procede.

    Had problems with my broadband going down at weekend, since it came back on unable to join wifi BT say it is because my wifi settings are missing on my iPad can anyone tell me where to find seething details IP address etc

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Create MSI to configure the Wifi settings

    I have a scenario where multiple users must have their Windows 7 laptop Wifi settings configured as per a specified configuration. We don't have a AD environment, hence the configuration cannot be done through GPOs. 
    I tried playing around with the "netsh" command and found that the Wifi profile can be exported and imported to the wireless adapters, using the following commands:
    Export:
    netsh wlan export profile name="CorpSSID" folder=c:\
    Import:
    wlan add profile filename="c:\wlanconf.xml" 
    A simple batch file can create this profile on any machine, provided the xml is shared and is located in the right folder. The intension is to make this easier for the end user. So was looking around to see if there are any easy ways to create a .msi that
    would contain the xml file, and on clicking it would create the Wifi profile on the system. May be there are other better options, suggestions welcome.

    Might ask them over here.

  • How to disconnect airport wifi option on timecapsule? can s.o. walk me thru the process?

    Need to disonnect airport wifi option from timecapsule, keeping timecapsule as back-up. How to route from modem to iMac, to include timecapsule and printer?

    All you need to do is bridge the TC.. you don't need to turn off the wireless as once in bridge it will direct wifi to the modem correctly.
    If you are really on Leopard as your profile there suggests.. just open the airport utility. Manual setup.
    Go to the internet tab.
    Down the bottom .. connection sharing.
    Select off, bridge mode.
    Update the TC.
    Then you can go to the wireless tab in the main airport section and change it to off.. or simply set it to a different channel manually and that will give you 5ghz access for other clients which the present modem is unlikely to do.
