Apple script to join wireless network

Hi,
i was wondering if anyone had a resource or an actual script that they know of that would allow me to join a wireles network.
the network name is "earth", and the ssid is hidden.
the security is wep 40/128 - bit ACSII
thank you

You need "Little Snitch"
I believe there's a trial version available... It's good for like 30 days.
A script to do what you're looking for would be really really complicated.

HT1595 Trying to connect my new apple tv to the wireless network. When I try to use the remote, the Apple TV doesn't respond (doesn't go to the next screen). Could this be caused by a weak wireless signal?

It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

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.

Trouble with internet connection when using extreme to join wireless network

I have an airport extreme that I want to use as an ethernet hub. I have successfully connected it to my wireless modem, and I have a solid green light; however, when I connected the ethernet to my tv/computer/anything there is no internet connection. I tried powering down everything in order and rebooting as appropriate modem then router then computer, but still not internet connection. Any suggestions.

The AirPort Extreme does not provide any routing functions when it is configured to "join a wireless network", so the Ethernet ports are not active in this type of setup. The only thing that really functions is the USB port, which could be used for a remote printer or hard drive.
If you have another Apple "n" wireless router acting as your main base station, you can configure the AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network". The Ethernet ports are enabled in this type of setup....and the Extreme will provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located.

Join wireless network

Ever since updating to 10.7 my Macbook Pro no longer automaticaally connects to my wireless network -- most of the time at least..... It does connect on some occassions but I can find no reason as to why it only works some of the time. Most complaints I've read about wirless and 10.7 involve losing connections and that happens rarely. But not joining the netwrok automatically is a real blunder Apple. This OS does not seem ready for Prime time.

I have the same issue. If you ever figured a way around this, please let me know.

Problem joinning wireless networks (software bug?)

After the last software update (some 15 days ago), provided by Apple via download, my iPhone can not anymore connect to wireless networks. It always displays the message "Unable to join the network "....". I have gone to an Apple store and they reinstalled the basic system software but the problem was not solved. I think it may be a "bug" in this last software updating... How can I proceed?

I've tried all I could, but it isn't working yet... How can we demand Apple some attitude?
Call the Applecare support line in your local area.
Apple will continue ignoring this problem? We can see this bug (?) is affecting maybe some thousands of people...
Unles the thousands of people you can see call Apple, then nothing is likely to happen.
Can we users of this product take some active position to defend our customer rights? Apple will not give us at least some explanation? Apple is acting as it is not their responsibility!!!
Unless you call them, they are not likely to know - they don't read these forums, and millions of users don't have the problems you have.

Airport Time Capsule to join wireless network

Hi there,
I just bought a new Airport Time Capsule 2 TB because my old one suddenly died. I just can't join my existing wlan network, it won't find it in the settings. I use a Macbook pro with the latest OS, a D Link router/modem AC1750, a Windows laptop and Iphone 6. All are connected to the D link router without problem but I can't get the Time capsule to work with it. Any help and advice would be appreciated!
Thank you
Michael

It used to be possible to configure the Time Capsule to "join" an existing wireless network, but Apple took away that feature several years ago when the Lion operating system was introduced.
The only exception to this would be if the Time Capsule is extending an existing network provided by another Apple router.
You will need to connect the Time Capsule to one of the Ethernet ports on your D-Link router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, as the Setup Guide illustrates.

Time Capsule - Join Wireless Network - DHCP

So I have a Apple 1TB Time Capsule here. I have it joined to the wireless network that's existing using a Linksys WRT300n v1.1 as the router to the DSL line. The Time Capsule receives an IP address giving to it from the Linksys which is acting as a DHCP server. However, if I plug-in my printer or laptop to one of the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule, they do not receive a DHCP address.
If I check the setup of the Time Capsule in the AirPort Utility, on the Internet tab, then Internet Connection tab, the Connection Sharing is set to "Off (Bridge Mode)", which seems like it should pass the DHCP request from the printer or laptop to the Linksys and receive an IP back, but that doesn't seem to happen. Not sure why, wondering if anyone else has a suggestion.
Also noticed that the Time Machine backups over the wireless are painfully slow. It took 12 hours to do a 2GB backup, no idea why, never been slow like this in the past before I was connected to the Linksys device.

I have a similar setup (1st Generation Time Capsule). The TC is wirelessly connected to a Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual Band Router.
I have no problem seeing the TC on my network, or backing up to the TC. I however have a couple of devices in the same location as the TC in which I would like to connect via ethernet to the TC, but it is not assigning out an IP address via the wired connection(s).
Any help would be appreciated.

TS2972 Using more than one Apple TV on same wireless network

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I have an Apple TV for the main home TV, and now want to add another Apple TV for elsewhere in my house.
Can I have two or more Apple TVs using home sharing on the same home wireless network? I'm assuming that I can, but don't want to buy another Apple TV and have to return it. Thanks. RB

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can have more than one, but be aware this will place more demand on your network, generally speaking this shouldn't be a problem for 2 Apple TV's on a reasonable network, but if your network is flakey or you add many more Apple TV's, it may become a problem.
We have 7 and have installed additional base stations for the network to cope with the bandwidth required.

Airport Express Join Wireless Network Disables Ethernet

I have one of the the older Airport Express (firmware 6.3) and I'm trying to use it to connect a non-wireless machine to an existing network.
Act as a single Wi-Fi interface to any computer or almost any other devices such as game consoles that has an Ethernet port but doesn't itself have built-in Wi-Fi
If I choose "join a wireless network" it appears to disable the ethenet port. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong.
My Setup
ADSL Modem ------ Time Capsule ---[wireless-g]--- Airport Express ---[ethernet]---Computer

Unfortunately, the Ethernet port is disabled when you configure the older AirPort Express version that you have to "join a wireless network"
It can be enabled in the newer 802.11n version, which uses firmware 7.x.x. Sorry, not possible up update the Express that you have since hardware changes were made in the 802.11n model.

Apple Devices Dropping Off Wireless Network

Hello, I have recently deployed a wireless network using a WLC 2504 with 21 Light APs. All seems fine except that
Apple Devices drop their connections every 15 minutes or so. A couple of minutes later they can reconnect but
obviously something is wrong.
Many Thanks

Only Apple device exhibit this kind of behaviour?
What kind of Apple devices? Mac laptops? iPad, iTouch, iPhone?
Have you seen this behaviour from, say, non-Apple devices? Android? Windows laptops?
What are the signal strengths when this happens?
Do you have Aironet IE enabled?
How far are the clients from the WAP(s)?

Where did "Join wireless network" go ?!

I've previously gotten my Time Capsule to work with the following setup: Cable Modem -> Ethernet Cable -> Airport Express -> Wireless network -> Time Capsule & MacBook Pr.
Yesterday I wanted to do some faster file copying to the Time Capsule so I connected it to my laptop by ethernet cable. For some reason I thought it was a good idea to set TC's wireless mode to "OFF".
Now I want to go back to my old setup but can't seem to get it to work. I've tried replicating all the same settings as before, but it just doesn't work.
The only difference in the setups i see is that what in Airport Utilitys Wireless page previously was "Join a wireless network" has disappeared and replaced by "Extend a wireless network". I'm guessing this is the problem.. Where did "Join a wireless network" go?

Thanks, but let me clarify. My Airport Express settings are the same as before and I don't want to change them since everything has worked fine. It's some solution to how to get the Time Capsule to join the existing network I'm loking for. Going through the default setup only results in Amber blinking and the Airport Utility not finding the Time Capsule wirelessly anymore..

I am having trouble connecting my new apple tv to my wireless network

I am running a Linksys wireless - N ADSL2+ Gateway attached to a PC running Vista and the apple tv detects my home network but will not accept any password. I have tried turning off all security but end up with the same result, although it does bypass the password screen. I end up with -6 error telling me to check settings.....can someone please give me some guidance?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Are you entering the password correctly, it will be case sensitive. Have you tried using another wifi channel.

TS1398 Can't join wireless network. Get message saying "unable to join the network". My wife's phone is connected so problem must be my phone - any ideas?

When trying to access my wireless network, get a message "unable to join the network". I tried turning everything off and back on, reset phone, etc. (all of the suggestions under troubleshooting guide). It was working until last night - it suddenly wasn't on anymore and then I couldn't get back on. Any suggestions?

1- try updating your phone (If you can)
2- try reebooting
3- (I know this sounds crazy but) put it in the freezer for a few hours.

Mac Pro "error joining wireless network", G5 and iBook OK?

Trying to connect to internet via wireless. The airport recognizes my WPA Personal password but still show "Error joining network", the airport bar is full but cannot connect to internet. The Network Panel says:
"Airport is connected to the network. Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet"
Here's my setup, every firmware is up-to-date:
Mac Pro 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon
OSX 10.4.10
Linksys BEFW11S4 V.4 (firmware 1.52.02)
Airport Extreme card (update to 2007-003)
In Network panel:
Airport- Automatic
TCP/IP- Using DHCP
PPPoE- no click
Appletalk- active
Proxies- manually
In Sharing panel:
Firewall- On
Internet Sharing- Off
I am 100% sure that the router is working because we have a G5 (10.4.1) and a iBook (10.4.9) in the house and there's no problem for both devices, both takes the password and connect to the wireless network no problem.
And one thing, when I go to the setup page of the router (192.168.1.1) and disable the WPA password security, the Mac Pro works perfectly. So whats the problem? It doesn't recognize the WPA?
Mac Pro 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.10)
Mac Pro 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.10)

First question: Is there a wireless card installed? It was optional on a 3,1.
Go to System Preferences - Network and see if you have AirPort listed on the left. It also may be turned off which you can fix there.
