Airport won't renew DHCP on Wireless Networks (After 10.5.6 update?)

I have tested my macbook on two wireless networks (1 belkin, 1 linksys) and it connects fine to the router, but it won't assign a DHCP. When I connect it directly to the router via ethernet or to the cable modem then the internet works fine.
When I connect to a wireless network, I tried going to pref>network>advanced>tcp/ip and selecting "DHCP" and hitting renew. But it doesn't work and automatically kicks back to "DHCP with Manual IP". I have tried assigning it an IP manually on the network, 192.168.5.3 and subnet mask and all that. But that doesn't work either.
I've done power cycles on both my macbook and router. I always keep the firmwares on both routers up-to-date.
I recently updated my Leopard to 10.5.6, which apparently has an Airport update, maybe that's affecting it?

ive found that the firmwire updates screw things up. "if it aint' broke dont fix it"
_i had all kind of trouble with my airport/network settings not saving come to find out i was correct that the airport card.

  • Unable to connect to wireless network after 10.4.8 update

    Hi Guys,
    I use Macbook which I have just updated to 10.4.8. After doing the update I can no longer connect to my wireless network. On 1st boot Airport asked to update the keychain. I said yes.
    Selecting my network, and entering the WPA key results in "Password for this network is incorrect" which is a load of rubbish as I can connect a PC Laptop to it perfectly. I have restarted the router, put in the key in caps and lower case, and still always the same error message.
    Has anybody else experienced this? If so, does anyone know how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Paul.

    I just brought home a new Macbook with the 10.4.8
    system software. I had to reconfigure my wireless
    router to "open system" - it still required the WEP
    key code, but when it was configured as an open
    system instead of an automatic system it allowed the
    Mac to connect.
    My other computers still work fine with the new
    router configuration.
    Macbook   Mac OS X
    (10.0.x)  
    10.4.8 came with your new macbook? or did you update?
    the only reason i ask is this was a question from a day or two ago, people were wondering if it were abnormal that new macbooks were still shipping with 10.4.6 even though 10.4.7 was out, and some predicted that once it went to 10.4.8 the shipping software would be updated to the new update

  • Any plans to fix wireless networking after the 40S51U Firmware Update 2.2.5 broke it?

    After the 40S51U Firmware Update 2.2.5 wireless passwords must be re-entered every time the device is powered on. It's been almost 4 months since the untested patch was released – is a fix coming?

    You're the only person I can remember having that issue. You should call customer support.

  • Airport Express doesn't connect to wireless network after firmware update

    Hi,
    I just updated the firmware on my Airport Express to 6.3 and now it will no longer join the network. I have tried reseting to the factory defaults and Airport Utility accepts all the information and shows the unit with a green dot next too it. However, the unit is still flashing amber and in the final step where the Utility tries to save the configuration the update fails and I get the following error message:
    An error occurred while reading the configuration.
    Please make sure your AirPort base station is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6753).
    I am using an old style AirPort Extreme as a base station.
    Can anyone help?

    Wow, really no suggestions yet? This is a first for me, on the Apple Discussion boards!
    Can anyone help?

  • Can I use airport express to create a local wireless network that my apple tv can connect to for AirPlay/mirroring in student halls/dorm without Internet connection

    Hi I was wondering :
    Would I be able to make a local wireless network using airport express that my apple tv can connect to which in turn is connected to a projector with hdmi in so that I can mirror/AirPlay from iPhone pad and mac

    will the Airport Express allow you to log onto a hotel wireless network, and broadcast a secure wireless network in your room for your wireless devices, like the Ipad, Iphone, etc.?
    The bottom line with a single AirPort Express is no.
    The AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless network when the network is being provided by another Apple router.
    As you might imagine, it is extremely unlikely that that the hotel network....which no doubt uses professional wireless access points provided by a manufacturer of commercial systems.....would be compatible with an AirPort Express.
    In many years of travel domestically and internationally, I cannot recall a time when a single AirPort Express would "extend" the signal provided by a hotel's wireless network.
    However, if you had two AirPort Express devices handy, you might be able to configure one to "join" the hotel network and provide an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort Express, which would be configured to "create" your own "private"  wireless network.

  • Using the AirPort Express to Join an existing Wireless Network

    Hello,
    I am hoping you can provide me with some help on this... I recelty acquired a PowerMac G4 with a 450 MHz processor, CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, Zip Drive, 1 GB RAM, and two 40 GB HD... The system has OS 10.4 installed, and it is has built-in Ethernet...
    I was told I could use the Airport Express to connect to an existing wireless network, so I purchased an Airport Express base Station... Thing is, to e honest, I am having a bit of a problem getting started...
    - First, to connect from the AirPort Express to my G4, do I need a special kind of Ethernet cable, or will the usual kind do?
    - Second do I need to istall the software first, or have the Airport express connected to the G4 before I do?
    How would I go about setting this up, step-by-step?
    Any information would be appreciated...
    Thanks for your time...

    OK, thanks. Hopefully, the Netgear is creating a wireless network using WPA/WPA2 security. That will make it much easier for the AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network. It can join networks with using WEP security, but password issues almost always arise using WEP.
    Since you must enter the exact security settings and password for the wireless network, it would help tremendously to know this in advance. Otherwise, it's going to be a series of "trial and errors" and likely frustration, later on.
    When you have a moment, check the security settings on the Netgear router.
    It might be one of the following: WPA2 Personal, WPA/WPA2 Personal, WEP 128, WEP 40.

  • Touch won't connect to my wireless network

    Sometimes my touch won't connect to my wireless network even though settings show it connected with good signal strength.  When I go to the main screen the signal strength icon (upper left) doesn't appear.  Any ideas?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing will be lost,
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Powering off and then back on the router.

  • ATV2 won't connect to my wireless network.

    My ATV2 won't connect to my wireless network, although the network shows up in the list of networks and I'm using the correct password.  A laptop approximately 1 foot away connects wirelessly to the network.  ATV has worked in the past - haven't tried it recently.  Tried reset - didn't help.  Any suggestions?

    If your wireless router is setup to use WPA or WPA2 security then you need to make sure you match this within your Apple TV device.
    You probably already know to match case sensitivity in your password.

  • Can I use the Airport Express to create a secure wireless network in a wireless-only hotel?

    Can I use the Airport Express to log onto an unsecured hotel wireless network, without an ethernet cable, to create a secure wireless network for my MacbookAir, IPad, IPhone, etc.? If so, how is that done?

  • MacBook fails to connect to wireless network after sleep mode

    My MacBook fails to reconnect to my wireless network after waking up.
    After turning on my MacBook it establishes a decent connection to whatever wireless network I choose (mostly at home). When I close the lid and open it again the network connection is lost and is only reestablished after reboot.
    Hopefully someone has a solution as this is very annoying.

    Instead of a reboot go to your Wireless Menu icon and select "Turn Airport Off".
    Wait a second and "Turn Airport On."
    For me this has been a problem for about 2 years. This is much faster than a reboot!

  • MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

    After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

    It appears an SMC reset was required:

    Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
    If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

    My apple TV disconnects the wireless network after it logs on

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Do you actually see a weak signal shown on the Apple TV when it is connected to your network. The problem may not be a weak signal, it may be interference from other networks or electrical devices.
