Apple tv and a local wireless network

i'm trying to set up my apple tv and my macbook pro, but i have no internet connection where i'm at currently. i assumed you could simply set up a local wireless network, so i hooked up my netgear router and my macbook recognizes and well...the apple tv kinda freak out when the wireless router is on. it doesn't always respond to the remote. when it does find the wireless signal, it frequently resets itself and then stalls out again....when i turn the router off, the apple tv functions normally....with no content from my macbook though of course......
any thoughts?

is there a better router to go with when trying to set up a local wireless network with no internet?
I use the Apple Airport Extreme. I love it, but many others like D-Link, Netgear..... I would look for an N router if your Netgear isn't. What is your Netgear hooked up to? That might be the problem. I also think that you might want to hook up the ATV2 wired and then restore it, and reenter all of the user and setup info afterward. It may not be the Netgear at all. If you restore the ATV2 and it still does it, then you can look at the Netgear and what it's hooked up to. No sense spending money if what you have works well. If you don't have Internet (I just noticed that statement above), I think you'll have issues with the ATV2. It has to have a way of connecting and phoning home to Apple, etc.

I bought an Apple TV but my HDTV has only one HDMI outlet. What do I need to operate the Apple TV and my Uverse wireless network. I bought a four outlet hub at Best Buy but I can't't figure it out. Do I need something else?

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.

Check Point VPN and local wireless network

I need to use Check Point VPN to access a client's remote network. Now I cannot access my wireless printer or AirPort base station, even when I have disconnected and shutdown the Check Point client. I have removed the Check Point startup items from LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons in order to restart without Check Point loading at start up.
When I start in Safe Boot I can access the printer, but not with a normal start up. How can I find the other startup items that are interfering with my local wireless network?
Am running Mountain Lion.

Thanks for the reply.
I found an installer in the Library as suggested.
The installer did not install successfully.
I trashed the installer, repaired permissions, downloaded the software again and was able to install successfully.
I will not be able to test the connection until I am off the network but I am better off.

How to view channels used by other local wireless networks?

I use a wireless airport network in my office, with my Airport Express (802.11g) base station about 10 feet from my iMac. I get a lot of interference (from other networks or cordless phones) and despite interference robustness being on, my airport signal gets dropped fairly often -- and with it, I lose my Internet access and wireless printer.
There are about 15 other local wireless networks (owned by other businesses). I thought I might improve my interference robustness by switching my wireless channel to a channel used by the least number of other networks.
Now, I seem to remember running into an (Apple) app somewhere that showed these local wireless networks with their channels. But now I can't find it again, so I can't tell which channel is least used. I hope someone can help me find that app or functionality again!
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion; I checked it out and found some questionable reviews on VersionTracker for iStumbler so I'm hesitant to jump right in (does it still fill up the Console log?)
In any case, I seem to remember finding channel information using some other application or preferences pane or something already on my system, but now I can't remember where. Is there any app that comes with OS X that shows channels on local wireless networks? I can't find this feature in Airport Utility.
Thanks for any assistance.

Your home network must have a wireless router somewhere in the house. All of your wireless devices use the same router password to connect to the network. That's where the password is stored and used. Log into your wireless network router and look under the wireless menu section. You should find your password there. If you have other wireless devices connected to your network maybe one of those will display the password. If your router is also password protected and you can't remember that either then your only solution is to reset the router to factory defaults and start over to rebuild your network. With security becoming more and more important these days most passwords are encrypted and not displayed in the open on any devices, including routers. It's extremely important that you remember or have the password written down somewhere and locked away for just such an occasion. Good luck.

Can I extend both a 2.4Ghz and a 5Ghz wireless network at the same time with a second Timecapsule / Extreme ?

Can I extend both a 2.4Ghz and a 5Ghz wireless network coming from a Timecapsule with a second Timecapsule / Extreme at the same time?

I am currently extending my 5Ghz network via an Express without any problems, but the Express can only extend either / or. I just want full coverage for both networks in the whole house.
If you can extend 5 GHz now with an AirPort Express and get satisfactory results, then the AirPort Extreme will work to extend both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands in the same location.
However, your computer is going to connect to the band with the strongest signal, so it may....or may not....connect to 5 GHz given a choice of two signals.

My internet works fine with my wired cable modem, but when i connect to my extreme base station and setup my wireless network the internet no longer works and my apple tv by default

my cable modem works fine, but when I hook it up to my extreme base station and run through the prompts and set up my wireless network it doesnt work and neither does my apple tv by default. I am unsure how to correct this problem. It will come up saying that I dont have an IP address when I have it set to DCHP so I dont know what the problem is.

Push the reset button on the modem and power the modem off
Power off everything else....all devices....order is not important
Wait 15-20 minutes or longer
Connect the Ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme
Power up the modem and let it run for 5 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for 5 minutes
Power up each other device one at a time a few minutes apart
Check the network

Apple Airport Express and PC Laptops - Wireless Network Help

Hello all,
I have two Wi-Fi enabled laptops running Windows XP, an Apple Airport Express unit and a Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router.
At present the DG-632 is running in modem mode and is connected to one laptop using the ethernet connection. The Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router has one ethernet connection and one USB connection.
My understanding is that if i run one laptop off the USB connection on the Modem/Router and connect the the DG-632 to the ethernet connection then the laptop on USB has to be turned on for the second laptop to access the wireless network.
Assuming the above is true (i am very likely wrong), it would be nice if both laptops were able to access the internet wirelessly via the Airpot Express Unit.
However, being a complete novice at networking, i am little confused about how to do this?
Any help, tutorials or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'm new. I have a Dell Laptop XP and my wife has a
dell desktop XP . I have DSL with a Linksys wireless
router. After many hours on the phone I was able to
get the ineternet set up for me and my wife.
After all this I found that my Airport Express system
couldn't connect to my stereo. It seems that the
router wireless connection pays no attention to
Airport. Apple says that they could set up another
wireless system to work for Itunes by using my
wireless card in the Laptop.
But... I can't listen to the music and surf the net
at the same time. A linksys person has tried to allow
Linksys to accept and proper installation to the
router. I tried is but it didn't work.

Sort of new here and to the AE, but have a Dell Desktop and Tosbiba laptop both running XPHome SP2, and on dialup
The Linksys router is hooked to the desktop with an ethernet cable. In the office.
The AE is in the living room and works great for surfing and ITunes.
The only way I could get my AE to work as an access point for dialup and stream ITunes from the laptop to the home theater was to use the setup found here.

The only problem I had with the setup was do not use the $ when entering the password. And had to use a proxy server on the desktop for sharing the dialup. LOL no hope of any broadband here.

Airport Ext. 4th Gen. and our Home Wireless Network in chaos?

Hi,
In the past 10-12 days (started the week prior to last) approx (May 20th to May 24th ) was the "beginning" of out of the blue random and various (as far as which laptop computer or desktop computer would connect to our home network. Time Warner in N.East Ohio is our ISP provider and have been out three times. We have a mixture of computers (iMac 800 mGZ running OSX 10.3.9 via ethernet from rear of Airport Extreme ( Airport Utility=V 5.6.1)

I read over in User Tips (Airport-Complete Power Recycle last modified 4.21.2012 in Apple Support Communities
I am going to do that (reset to default settings out of the box ) * We also purchased at the same time as The Airport Extreme (4th Gen) a 1st Generation Airport Express (802.11n 2.4-5.0) (not the second generation dual band Airport Express currently sold in the Apple Store (but ? am considering (based on outcome of complete Recyle adding it to extend our network as prior some users got 3-4 bars etc ) we had a 802.11b/g airport express
but never utilized it for some reason (we started with a Netgear 802.11b it lasted a month (they sent out a new one ) bought a white dome Airport 802.11b(or ) then a D-Link 802.11b/g that failed constantly (I do not recall the model) then in late 2009 bought a MacBook Pro, and also The 4th Generation Airport Extreme and as we added devices (computers Mac or Windows) iOS devices iPod Touch 2nd generation and most recent a iPad
all had worked without connectivity issues until date above
oddly (the Cable Modem=all lights including activity(blinked as supposed to or were solid as designed

I isolated the Motorola Surfboard Modem (ethernet out to a older imac and it got online (with A-Port Extreme ethernet connection disconnected-then did a recycle and wired in the Airport Extreme (WAN) to Cable Modem Docis II and then ethernet from rear of Airport Extreme (and the iMac (2004 with a Airport Card in it) went online

Hi There,
I appear to be having the same issue. I have been using my provided time warner router and wifi with all of my Apple devices without an issue until recently. It appears that my macbook pro and twc router will not initiate the "handshake". I get a wrong password was entered or network error message. I contacted twc and they reset my router and renamed it along with a new password. This initially fixed the issue for maybe a day or so. Then the problem began all over again. I have been through he ringer, reinstalled osx, deleted plist...etc contacted apple care and twc. At this point both parties have been no help what so ever... So I connected a new western digital wifi router and all of a sudden I'm getting amazing speed and connectivity. I'm still puzzled as to why all of a sudden my macbook pro or Internet would just quit working... If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears and any help would be great.

How to set up full access and limited access wireless networks to laptops

Dear Apple,
I just received my Apple 1 TB Time Capsule. Can someone please help me with a network configuration I want to set up?
I have a cable modem, and, three computers: a G4 iMAC (system 10.5.5), an Apple MacBook (system 10.5.5), and, a PC laptop.
The Time Capsule is connect directly to the cable modem.
Regarding the computers:
(1) I want the G4 iMAC to connect directly, via an Ethernet cable, to the Time Capsule, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature, and, with allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
(2) I also want the MacBook laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule via the Airport utility on the laptop, and, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature (using WPA/WPA2 security, and, without the network name visible to third parties), and, WITH allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
(3) I want the PC laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule (using WEP security), but WITHOUT ACCESS to the Time Machine, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the iMAC, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the MacBook, and, WITHOUT access to the inkjet printer --- I only want the PC to use the Time Capsule as a WIRELESS ROUTER so that the PC laptop can access the internet.
(4) And, finally, I want to specify (Time-Capsule/Time-Machine/server ) access ONLY to the iMAC and the MacBook, so that others cannot gain any access.
I specifically need help to set up and configure the Time Capsule so that the PC laptop, as stated above, should have limited access to the Time Capsule --- namely, only to access the internet, and, not even be aware of stored data on the Time Capsule, not even be aware of the inkjet printer, and, not even see my WPA network name when the PC scans for wireless devices.
I also want the iMAC and the MacBook to have access to each other’s data stored on the Time Capsule (like a common server).
I have an old D-Link DI-624 wireless router that I used before buying the Time Capsule, which is available, if needed. Hopefully, I can configure the Time Capsule so that I would not need the old D-Link.
Thank you in advance,
David.

The basic method for remote access is not changed.
http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
You have a few issues.
The really big one.. the school firewall should not let you connect to home.
Check the IT admin at your school but if they allow anything but a few protocols like http and https through, they are not doing their job. You cannot afford in a large network to have every Tom Dick and Harry access any open device.. that can introduce viruses and trojans into the network behind the firewall.
The general method for remote access on large networks is vpn and the TC offers no vpn connection.. just AFP.
If you intend using 3G wireless stick or the like then you can get access.
The next issue is static public IP or how to find the TC.. you need some way to find the IP if your ISP does not offer static ip, and the tc has no dyndns client. Since Apple shut down new users for mobileme and will close that service there is no method to find the TC IP without owning your own domain. You would be better placing the TC in bridge behind a router that does offer dyndns and port forward AFP (TCP 548) to it.

HT1595 Apple tv and a secure wireless connection

My daughters wireless connection at her college requires a username to login (a netid). How can I configure the apple tv to use such a network?

When your daughter contacts the IT Dept at her school, she will need to provide the MAC address. Settings, General, Network
Right above the Signal Strength bars you will see a set of letters and numbers.
That is a hardcoded specific address of the device which is unique to it. Each network device has such an address (your smart phone, network printer, modem, your laptop, ...)
If the school allows they will enter the MAC address into their list of allowed devices to bypass the login screen.

Since installing os x and appletv my wireless network changes

my wireless connection worked fine until installed os x and connected my appletv...my orginal setting was configured to linksys....now i can only connect to my network by changing to apple network 3107c. By doing this, I can't connect with my appletv...i use an apple extreme router. Can anyone help me reset my laptop connection to linksys? thks.

So what you have been doing is using your neighbor's internet connection and not your own. That means your neighbor - if they realized what was going on - could have accessed your Apple TV and any computers you have connected to their wireless network if they wanted to.
You need to set up your network properly so that all your computers and your Apple TV connect to your own wireless network currently called "apple network 3107c". You should also implement wireless security on your network - preferably using the WPA or WPA2 protocol and a password.
And finally - you need to try to improve the quality of your own wireless network's signal.

Trying to get my apple laptop to connect to wireless network

I have an Airport Express (AE) and have successfully set up a wireless network in which 3 other computers (my work laptop, my wife's work laptop, mother-in-law's laptop) are all able to connect to this wireless network.
However, I have been unsuccessful in trying to get my apple laptop to connect to the same wireless network.
I'd really like to unchain our apple laptop from my office.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Welcome to the discussions forum EdmundF.
Doesn't your home network name appear in your Airport menulet?

Apple TV is killing my wireless network

I think my Apple TV is shutting down my wireless network. I've owned the Apple TV since April but the problems just began 3 days ago. When the Apple TV is connected to the network, the entire wireless network and internet connection is lost for all clients until I reset the router by unplugging the power supply. This happens every 30 minutes or so. When I unplug the Apple TV, the problems stop and the network is fine.
I own the Linksys WRT54G version 6 router. Firmware v1.02.2 is installed. I have 2 computers and one AppleTV. Computer one is a Dell laptop that is almost never turned on, the other is a Mac G4 Desktop that is connected to the router with a Cat5 cable, not wireless, and it runs 24/7. I have the G4 set to use DHCP to autoconfigure and the router is set up to allow 3 connections. There is no MAC filtering. DHCP server is enabled. SSID is broadcast. I'm using WPA security. The DHCP lease time is one day.
Has anyone else experienced these problems with an Apple TV??? -thanks

If setting your DHCP server to 50 users did not help, then I would suggest you try setting your Apple TV to a fixed LAN IP address, and see if that helps. The reason for this suggestion is that some Apple products have had problems using DHCP assigned addresses from Linksys routers.
Linksys has some special rules for assigning fixed LAN IP addresses:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the Apple TV, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and the "DNS Server" to 192.168.1.1
It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.
If the problem does not resolve with a fixed LAN IP address as described above, then in place of the "DNS server" address of 192.168.1.1 substitute the actual Internet DNS server addresses, as listed in the router on the "Status" tab, "Router" subtab.
Hope this helps.
Since this is a relatively new problem, please let us know if this works or not.
