Airport Wireless and MacBook Pro Security with Verizon DSL

My Airport wireless network connects my MacBook Pro mid-2009 model and iPhone 4S via TimeCapsule (1st gen) to a Verizon DSL D-Link DSL-2750B modem/router. Lately, I've been having problems with slow speeds (since the spring it's gone from a very nice 3.8 to 2.7 to an almost halved 2.1 mpbs download speed). I tinkered around with the modem settings from the webpage control panel and reset to the factory settings to no avail as far as increasing my speed but I did get all my connections back and running again.
However, my question is this: the Macbook's wi-fi drop down menu shows the name of  my own user created wi-fi network name, along with some others throughout the neighborhood, along with my networks SSID number that everything all links up to. My Macbook connects in bridge mode via Ethernet and wi-fi with WPA2 security and is "Automatic" for the location. Is this safe to have the SSID ID listed there in plain view to the neighborhood and if not what should I do? Thank you.

I seem to be having the same basic problem-except the wireless connection works fine when I am in the basement (where the Airport Extreme is located) but when I go up flight of stairs, i get "invalid password". Of course, the password is the correct one for the wireless.
THoughts on whether it might help if I by boosters for the wireless for each floor of my house?
Oh, one other thing, my macbook pros never did this before today, my macpro desktop is on an upper floor and it connects wirelessly easily, as does my iMac on an upper floor. I've had the macbook pros working just fine for at least a year each and I didn't change any settings on any of the computers.
Thanks

  • WEP working with Windows and Macbook Pro - NOT with G4 laptop

    In order to get a Windows laptop connected to my home network, I changed over to WEP Encryption and have gotten the Windows laptop, my Macbook Pro, and another Powerbook G4 to connect - however, when I try to connect the other remaining G4 laptop, a 400mhz PowerPC running an Airport card with firmware v.9.52 doesn't give me the pulldown option for WEP (only WPA) and I am, therefore, unable to input the password that is working on my other computers.
    Thoughts? Solutions?
    Thanks.

    Hi Don,
    Thanks for your response. The articles were informative, but here's what's odd about my situation:
    I understand passwords, etc. I've been running WPA/WPA2 encryption on my all-Apple Network. It worked great. When I brought home the WindowsXP laptop, I changed the network over to WEP and not only did the Windows laptop get signal, but 2 of my 3 Macs did as well. When I started up the "upstairs" G4 Powerbook and sought out my network the Airport Internet Connect did not give me a WEP option in the pulldown menu, so I was unable to log in. All I really need to do is determine how to get the older G4 Powerbook to see WEP where it only sees WPA. (Ultimately, I switched back so my wife could use her computer. It may just be easier for me to try to configure the Windows Laptop to a WPA/WPA2 network.
    Thanks again for your thoughts on this.

  • Airport Express and MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    My MacBook Pro is about 2 years old or so. It has only been today when my MacBook stopped receiving wireless (my airport express is right under my laptop, under the desk). The airport signal bar in the upper right corner reads strong. However, when i open Safari 3.2.1, it refuses to load any page. I know my Airport Express works as I am using it on my iPhone.
    Is there a solution to help my macbook pro recognize the Airport signal again? I've tried restarting / resetting my Airport Express and cycling my cable modem. None seem to be the solution.
    I open to my Airport Admin Utility and there seems to be negative noise and signal for my laptop... is there a reason for this? Here's a screenie of it.. the top is my laptop while the second one is my iphone: http://twitpic.com/wyz2/full
    thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I'm having exactly the same problem. My iPhone is perfect but my Macbook receives the wifi conection intermitantly. It usally works for a few minutes then drops out completely. I used iStumbler to confirm the Express signal is constant. Also, to check that other WiFi connections in the area weren't interferring by changing the channel. But it has to be the Macbook which incidentally works absolutely fine on every other Wifi connection I've connected to.
    Some little setting on the Express perhaps? Did you have any joy?

  • Uverse - Airport Extreme and MacBook Pro assigned same IP address

    Ok, so I have a Uverse RG -> Airport Extreme -> bunch of computers. For some reason, everytime my MacBook Pro sleeps and then I wake it up, it says it can't connect to the internet because there is another device with the same IP address. None of my other Macs (iMac, Powerbook, iPad, iPhones) ever exhibit this behavior. I'm not sure what's going on here. It's almost like the AE takes on the IP address of the MacBook Pro every time it sleeps (or maybe its the other way around). If I go to advanced settings on my MBP and try and renew the DHCP lease, it won't renew and continues to give me the same error message. If I log on to the AE and renew the DHCP lease, it comes back just perfect. This has to be an issue with my RG since it's assigning the IP addresses right? I tried manually setting the IP address of my AE. That seemed to fix it for awhile, but then the MBP again started reporting the same IP address as another device on the network. I didn't discover which device it was, but I did determine it was not the AE since it was configured with a manual IP address. This is getting pretty frustrating as I have to log on to the AE and reset the DHCP lease every time I leave and come back to my MBP. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

    I had the same problem with an Airport-enabled iMac.
    Here's what I did that fixed the problem:
    Log into the Uverse Admin Tool through your browser.
    Click on the Settings tab.
    Click on the LAN link in the grey bar
    Click the circle in front of "Configure Manually"
    Set the "Router Address" to 192.168.1.254
    Set "Subnet Mask" to 255.255.255.0
    Set "First DHCP Address" to 192.168.1.100
    Set "Last DHCP Address" to 192.168.1.199
    Click the "Save" button. (You'll probably have to enter your password.)
    Now open the Airport Utility.
    Choose your Airport Express on the left and click the "Manual Setup" button.
    Click the "Internet" icon in the top bar.
    Click on "TCP/IP"
    Select "Manually"
    Set "IP Address" to 192.168.1.42
    Set "Subnet Mask" to 255.255.255.0
    Set "Router Address" to "192.168.1.254"
    Set "DNS Server" to "192.168.1.254"
    Click the "Update" button.
    This sets your Uverse router, which is handing out the IPs, to only give IPs out that number between 100 and 199. It reserves the rest for you to enter manually. So your laptop, your iPhone, etc, will get the DHCP addresses between 100 and 199 but your Airport Express will *always* have 42.
    You may have to reboot everything to make sure each device gets the new IPs.
    Also, there is no significance to the 42 number. It can be anything between 1 and 99.

  • Help setting up wireless network with Verizon DSL

    I bought a MacBook Pro and an Air Port Extreme yesterday. I have an iMAC G5 from October 2004. I have Verizon DSL service and a Westell Series 6100 modem.
    Bottom line --> I can't get the wireless connection to work.
    I have successfully used a wired dsl connection with my iMAC G5. But, I tried to just disconnect the ethernet cable from my computer and put it into the Airport Extreme and that didn't work. I used the utility to set up the base station and the network, but I'm not sure if I did it properly.
    I know a PPPoE is involved but I'm not sure of how to configure the system properly. I'm also not sure if the problem is with the configuration of the AirPort extreme or with my Verizon modem.
    All I know is that I want to see a green light on that thing and not a flashing orange one.
    Does any one have some instructions for setting up your AirPort Extreme using Verizon DSL? Has anyone else had similar problems? Thanks in advance!
    MacBook Pro & iMAC G%   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Just finished solving this problem. I am not a strong tech guy, but I know that since it works for others it is just a question of poking and pushing. Anyway it was nine hours in the making...
    My snow airport working with an airport express had been bullet proof with verizon dsl for a couple of years. I wanted to upgrade since I am now Intel mac and hit the blinking amber light.
    I am only going to be able to give the big picture... The AEBS found and worked with all my computers from the beginning, so the problem became that the default IP Address and Subnet Mask were wrong and never automatically adjusted by the assistants.
    Take your working plug-in ethernet connections or the working snow connections from the Airport Utility Internet Connect page. I used the manual configure process to access the info screens.
    I copied all the numbers down, but I believe you only have to insert the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router Address and DNS servers. I put "dsl.verizon.net" in the domain search box.
    Go up to the IPv4 pull down menu and select manual and put in the numbers you copied. Then click Update. When the software returns control, the AEBS will still be orange.
    Toggle the IPv4 to "using DHCP" Click Update.
    This should bring the green light.
    I think I then updated the Network Preference Pane, probably had to manually put in my wireless password again. Browser and mail program worked.
    I think that was all. I may have had to repeat the toggle to make it stick, but I am operational for the last several hours, including the airport express, a G4 laptop and a Sony PC.
    Hope this helps.

  • OS 10.10 Yosemite and Macbook Pro battery life

    Greetings,
    I have a mid-2012 Macbook Pro 15" that was getting 6-7 hours of battery life before installing Yosemite a few weeks ago during the initial public release.
    Within the last week or so, if I am lucky, I now get maybe 3 hours before I'm down to less than 30%.
    Twice this week, I have intentionally gone down to less than 5% before letting the laptop recharge for at least 12 hours before using it again, thinking maybe some sort of memory was being created; and it still drains power quickly.  And with the new formatting of the "about this Mac", I have not been able to locate how many cycles the battery has on record.
    I'm not watching movies or gaming.  E-mail, Facebook, and web surfing.
    If anyone has constructive ideas, I would be very appreciative.
    Thank you for your time.

  • Airport extreme loses internet connection all the time with imac and macbook pro

    I keep losing the internet connection with airport extreme on my imac and macbook pro but NOT with my pc

    Ok, so when you say you lose internet connection, is it disconnecting from your wireless network so there are no bars?
    And are there usually full bars?

  • Airport, 10.5.8, and MacBook and MacBook Pros and slow internet

    Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
    If you have Macbook or MacBook Pro, and have upgraded to 10.5.8, you may experience slower than normal airport connection due to a bug found in the original 10.5.8 installer. Apple has released this update for MacBooks and MacBook Pros to address the issue:
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortClient_Update_for_MacBook_and_MacBookPro
    To amend what Apple has stated, the System Profiler will indicate you have one of these three MacBook/Pro CPUs:
    o MacBook3,1
    o MacBook4,1
    o MacBookPro4,1
    If you have certain third party routers the update above will not help. In which case, it is recommended that you contact the third party router manufacturer for a firmware update, and find out also if others have your exact same router, and have found a resolution with your issue.
    Wireless issues can be caused by the following:
    1. Interference on the same wireless channel.
    2. Single channel connection from some third party routers not being strong enough to deal with interference. Apple Airport Express, Extreme, and Time capsule wireless routers all support dual channel connections, and also support networking with Windows as well as Mac.
    3. Bad router tables in your router.
    4. Power surges.
    5. Interference from microwaves, or 2.4 Ghz non-cell wireless phones, whose signal is not tempered with channel hopping.
    6. Distances less than 2 feet may have many overlapping wireless waves causing interference from the wireless router.
    7. Distances greater than 150 feet from the wireless router.
    8. Walls with numerous pipes, improper ground wiring, file cabinets with numerous papers between the computer and the router.
    9. Run the hardware test that came with your computer, it may indicate an issue on the logicboard which could also impact your wireless card.
    10. Improper security on your wireless connection. Setting up a WPA2 connection is preferred over WEP, which is preferred over no password.
    11. 802.11n is a draft standard, meaning not all routers support it the same way.
    12. Data corruption in the wireless cache settings, caused by improper system maintenance:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1772235
    13. Migrating wireless settings with the Migration Assistant from a PowerPC to Intel Mac, or vice versa. It is better to follow these tips to avoid those problems:

  • Connecting a macbook pro to a verizon wireless network

    how do i connect a macbook pro to a verizon wireless network? Wi-Fi connection automatically assigns an IP address and indicates that the Mac won't be able to connect to the internet. Two other MacBook Pros connect to the network without any problems. These Macs travel from home to school and back again and automatically reconnect when they are brought into the house.

    I have read a few corporate IT policies and they are all PC-centric.
    Unless your mac runs any windows tools such as Bootcamp Wine, Crossover, or a VM in parallels or VMware then your mac has no virus implications.
    A few years ago word documents could be infected with macro viruses and although did not affect a mac a mac could pass them on. Up to date versions of Microsoft Word documents are not vulnerable to this flaw.
    You could install ClamAV its a free anti virus app for the mac that would keep your IT dept happy.
    Maybe I can find out what the WEP key is with a utility of some kind.
    If you had a compatible usb wifi dongle and kismac you could crack their WEP key but this would be probably illegal in your country so I dont condone this activity but if you got written permission from your employer to give them a free penetration test, something that normally involves hiring a security company this would save them money and highlight the insecurity on their network.
    Or use an Ethernet connection.

  • HT5268 Just purchased Imac and Macbook pro and upgrades to Mountain Lion. Java will not run with one important site where my Grandson is in Kindergarten out of state with in room camera. What to do. This is very disappointing and non of apple geniuses kno

    My new IMac and Macbook Pro are each loaded with Mountain Lion. Have Office for Mac also
    When I try to see my Grandson on webcam out of state the login will not activate. For PC use I needed Java and Active X to let it run. My Java is checked as ready to go but nothing happens. Otherwise these are great computers. Please help me through the process. The Geniuses at my apple store can't understand what to do.

    By default, OS X does NOT come with Java installed nowadays. You need to open the Java Preferences app found in Utilities; when you do that the first time, it will inform you of the fact and offer to install the product for you.
    Afterwards, due to a major security issue we had back in the first quarter of the year, the plugin is disabled by default. You need to revisit the Preferences and enable manually. It will auto-disable if unused in awhile.
    Lastly, you may have to adjust which Java instance is being used, the 32-bit or the 64-bit. Default is 64-bit, but some applets crash & burn or outright refuse to run in such a platform. You can prioritize which version you prefer by dragging on top in the Preferences.
