Airport, WPA2 and Titanium PowerBook wont connect

I have a friend who visits my place occasionally with a Titanium PowerBook. I have an airport network running WPA2 encryption, but the Titanium PowerBook wont connect to my network.
If I downgrade my network to WPA it will connect fine. This is despite the fact that I have set the airport to allow connections with either WPA or WPA2.
Does anybody have any suggestions on what I should do?
Thanks
Charlie

But you need to make sure your friend has the latest AirPort 4.2 update on the Titanium to get WPA support."
I replied to the wrong person, but...
The statement above is not true... WPA Support is available in AirPort 3.2/3.3 and later (depending on whether you have an Extreme or non-Extreme card respectively according to a quick Internet search). WPA2 Support requires AirPort 4.2. If you set the base station to support both WPA and WPA2 then any wireless client that supports WPA or WPA2 should be able to access the network. Your mileage may vary.

Airport Extreme and Titanium PowerBook

My Titanium PowerBook with 10.3 doesn't connect to my new Airport Extreme automatically. I have to enter the password every time I start up. I'm using WEP. How can I get it to connect automatically?
thanks.

Unfortunately I can't follow these instructions. I don't have a list of preferred networks, I guess because I have 10.3.
Sorry, I don't have 10.3, so I can't confirm "preferred networks" availability before 10.4.
I changed the base station to WPA2, but when I try to connect with the PowerBook with 10.3, it says that the base station does not support WPA2. So I guess I have to use WEP.
Here are the minimum requirements for either WPA or WPA2...
Minumum Requirements for WPA
o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) w/firmware 5.5, or
o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) w/firmware 7.0, or
o AirPort Express Base Station (AX) w/firmware 6.1
o AirPort Extreme or AirPort clients running Mac OS X 10.3 or later
o AirPort for Mac or AirPort for Windows 3.3
Minimum Requirements for WPA2
o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) w/firmware 5.7, or
o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) w/firmware 7.0, or
o AirPort Express Base Station (AX) w/firmware 6.3
o AirPort Extreme clients running Mac OS X 10.3 or later

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

TS1398 just updated my iPhone to 6..1.3 (10B329) and wi-fi wont connect

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

For your work email, do you use a well known server or do you use their own server? Their server IMAP and SMTP addresses might of changed or you entered them in wrong. It might be something with your router but unless you blocked every incoming connection, then it should work. I would talk to your tech guys at work to see if it is on their end.
Hope this helped a bit, Sean

I changed the channels mine was set on 6 when I went into setup. My internet connection is set to PPPoE It didnt say anything that said " beacon interval" or "RTS and Fragmentation threshold" where would I find that at??
Anyway my wireless computer can connect online with excellent strength but my desktop will not connect. I disconnected the router and pluged the computer into the modemn and I had internet access although my signal was not great. All my lights are solid.
Should I bite the bullet and just go get a new router??

The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download iOS7 at the same time.
There is a chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day.

HT1145 I have an older plug in version of Airport Express and am trying to connect it to my wifi network to boost coverage but it is not connecting to my network.

What is the make & model of the wireless router that you are trying to "boost" with the AirPort Express? Is your Express an 802.11g or 802.11n model? Is the connection between routers going to be a wired or wireless one?

Solved: AirPort Express and AirTunes Audio Distortion Connected to a Stereo

*The problem*: Terrible sound distortion while using AirPort Express AirTunes features. Even when nothing was plugged in, there would be a buzzing noise.
*The setup*: AirPort Express connected via 3.5mm stereo jack to a pair of computer stereo speakers. Note: This post does not apply to you if you are using an optical Toslink between the AirPort Express and your speakers. iTunes installed on a Mac. AirTunes setup to allow music to stream wirelessly to AirPort Express and speakers.
*The solution*: The AirPort Express needs to be grounded. The included AC tip is only two prong. In the US, the third prong (round) is used for grounding.
Therefore you just need to attach the three prong AC tip. This is not included with the AirPort Express. What you need is the Apple Power Extension Cord which has a 3 prong tip.
Example:
http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Extension-Apple-PowerBook-Notebook/dp/B002V4XKRS
This is the same extension cord that comes with most Apple notebooks.
Hope this helps!

Bob,
This is really simple so no instructions are necessary.
Plug in the new Express when you get it and have it "Join the existing network"...
Give the iTunes Music section a name like "Front Room Stereo" and that's it...
Plug the stereo into the Express and select it in iTunes for playing music.

Imac and d-link wont connect

hi all...
i have trouble trying to connect my mac to my d-link wireless router. it will connect when my network is unsecured but when i enable wep encryption, it wont connect. =[ when i try connecting, it asks for my password, i enter it and says there was an error and wont connect.
any thoughts???

Try not using WEP and use WPA2 instead. It's more secure and more compatible. Also, check the DLink web site for any possible firmware updates for you router.
Note that if you must use WEP that all passwords must be preceded with a "$" sign. See the section on third-party routers in this article.
