Apple TV does not find AirportExpress wireless network

Hi all,
this problem is driving me nuts, maybe someone here can help.
At the moment I have an Apple TV in our living room. There is an AirportExpress device in the same room, which is creating a wireless network (WAP/WAP2 Personal, name "BNK") and is connected to a DSL modem.
All computers (my MacBook Pro, my wife's Sony laptop) easily find the wireless network, whether they are in the living room or in any other room of our apartment.
The Apple TV, however, never finds our network - it gives me a list of many other networks from our neighbors, but our own network is never in the list. This even happens when the Apple TV is about 2 meters away from the AirportExpress.
Does anyone have any idea why the Apple TV is not picking up the network signal? Do I need to have a stronger WLAN access point because of potential interferences from the other networks? But why are the computers working fine, then?
Thanks a lot and cheers,
Bastian

I see this post has remained unanswered. But as I have a similar problem I am hoping someone will answer.
I recently bought an Apple TV and hooked it up to my Sony 46" HD LCD TV.
My desktop is an iMac
The internet connection is through the Airport express conected to an ADSL touter.
The wireless network is working and I have access to internet through my iMac or other laptops.
While installing AppleTV it detects my network but seems does not connect to internet.
As a result while it synchronises with iTunes it fails to download from the internet directly. I am unable to upgrade to the latest version or play youTube or images from my mobileMe account.
I have tried figuring out the problem but unable to do so. Thanks for your help.

I have an ipad first generation. I am trying to connect to a linksys router and it is not finding the wireless network. what do i need to do?

I have an ipad first generation. I am trying to connect to a linksys router and the ipad is not finding the wireless network. What do I need to do? Thanks for your help.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Hp6600 does NOT recognize my wireless network IN THE WIZARD

My hp6600 does not recognize my wireless network. It recognizes others in the area but not mine I have tried the network wizard several time and the online help but it's not working. I bought this machine especially so that I can print wirelessly. It would cost me $100 to have someone from Geek come in, that's ridiculous. i should be able to set up my own printer. I set up a hp8600 at home.

Hi @fedup22,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry to hear that your HP Officejet 6600 is not recognizing your wireless network, but I am happy to help!
For further assistance, I will need to know some additional information:
If the printer is able to make copies.
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please see the following:
This printing guide, Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue as it address the fact the printer is offline.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. (Once established this guide will help you maintain the connection.)
This website as a lot of information on wireless printing. Wireless printing center.
Hope this information helps, and have a good day!

Re: Satellite A350D - Does not find any WLAN network

Because the e-mail-support page doesn't works at the moment (after sending a message I only get a blank page) I will ask my question here.
Since maybe 2 or 3 months my connection to WLAN-networks is really bad. I have nothing changed, neither the Windows version (Windows 7) nor drivers, but it does not work as good as it was.
Some examples:
I'm sitting 5 metres away from the wlan router. Only a wall is seperating. The notebook does not find any wlan-network. With my HP notebook the connection is good. I'm sitting on the desk where the router stands. The notebook finds the network, but Windows says connection seems to be only average or bad. My HP notebook has the best connection rating.
Anybody here who can help or can say how I contact the support per e-mail without getting only this blank page?
Greetings Schlachtvieh

Hey,
After WLAN driver update make also sure that power saving mode is disabled for WLAN card. You can do this in Windows Power Management.
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm
Driver update in such cases its always advisable but in my case it was the power saving of WLAN card. :)

Apple TV does not find Itunes library (since Yosemite). Itunes finds apple tv without a problem.

Since Yosemite, my apple tv 3 (latest software) does not find my itunes library anymore (imac 27" late 2013). Vice versa, via Itunes (latest version) I can perfectly stream music and videos to my apple TV. So there is communication between the two devices, but for some reason Apple TV does not find my itunes library. Sometimes rebooting all my devices works.
any solutions for this problem?

I solved this problem in this way:
go to Preferences -- Sharing
change the name of your mac (delete ALL the existing name and choose another one)
close Preferences
restart Mac
open itunes
now check if everything works on apple tv.

Airport Express (1st generation) does not reconnect to wireless network after router is cycled on/off

Operating System: os x 10.9.1
Airport Utility 6.3.2
Airport Express 802.11n (1st generation)
Linkus router: Model WRT310Nv2, Firmware Version 2.0.01
Motorola Cable Modem: Model 2210-02, Firmware 7.7.3r5
The Airport Express (AE) is setup to join my wireless network using Airport Utility. A printer is connected to the AE with a USB cable. After the setup the AE light is green and the printer can be accessed over the wireless network.
The problem starts if the router is cycled off/on. Now the AE will not rejoin the wireless network and there is a non-flashing amber light. If the power to the AE is cycled off/on the AE reconnects to the wireless network.
This is about as handy as a screen door on a submarine.
Is it possible to see the setting of the AE the same way the modem and router settings can be accessed? Can this issue be fixed?

If they send you a replacement printer it will have ink tanks with it. You can store the ink tanks from your current printer and use them later on you "new" printer if you wish. Store them nozzle-up so they do not leak.

HT4259 Airport Utility 6.1 does note show "extend wireless network" option. How do I find the feature

I have an airport extreme and the utility is 6.1. I also have an airport express. I'd like to use the airport express to extend the WiFi. The "extend the wireless network" option does not show up in the Airport Utility 6.1. How do I go about finding that option? Is it something that doesn't need to be checked in Airport Utility 6.1?

I'm having the same issuse, the only work around I have found is by using an older version of airport utility

C309g not finding any wireless networks. Won't print off bluetooth either.

The C309g will not find any networks at all. Even when scanning from the machine and when doing it through the computer setup. Even typed in the SSID but still no link. Bluetooth will connect but will not communicate once I unplug the USB cord.

So when I restart the machine I can get the bluetooth light on and my computer to recognize it, but it still will not print. The device remains unconnected in the bluetooth setting on my computer. After that I will try and play with it again, but this time the only option in bluetooth settings is to activate the bluetooth radio and even though I hit On the blue light still doesn't come on.
As far as the wireless network, is there any tests I can run to test my radio or do I just have to take it back to best buy? Is it a common problem?

My mac can not find any wireless networks, my mac can not find any wireless networks

As of a couple weeks ago my can not find wireless networks even though they exist. I try to refresh the scan with no luck.

Is your router plugged in? Do you have internet?
Come on...
I have the same issue. Yesterday I could connect to my wifi just fine, but today I turned on my wifi and the wheel just spins and spins. I restart my phone and I get the "greyed out" wifi switch. So I restart, and I'm back to square one. The wheel just keeps spinning.
I've updated the router firmware, I've power cycled everything multiple times, and still nothing.
Can anyone give a real solution? Or do we just have to suffer until apple update this **** IOS6?

Suddenly My iphone 4s does not find my wireless printer and sometimes can't find the server.

All of a sudden My iPhone 4s cannot find my wireless printer and cannot connect to the internet all of t he time.

HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw does not connect to wireless network

I recently upgraded my wireless network router. I had my HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw connected to the old wireless network router. The SSID is password protected (WPA2)
I need to connect the printer to the new wireless network router. However, neither the control panel nor blue wireless connection button provide any way for me to do this. The manual has not walked through a way to do this.
There really needs to be a simple, no-nonsense way to just connect the printer to the wireless network. How do I connect this printer to a new wireless network?

Hi @shakayumi ,
I see that you are having issues configuring the printer on the new router. I would like to help.
Restore the printer's network defaults.
Touch the Setup button. (wrench)
Select Network Setup Menu.
Then select Restore Defaults.
Print out a configuration report to make sure the IP address is 0.0.0.0 and the SSID is cleared.
Printing a Configuration Report.
Here are the directions for setting up the printer through the Wireless Direct to configure the printer over the network as Infrastructure.
Turn the Wireless Direct on the printer.
On the printer touch the setup button, (wrench) then select network setup menu, select wireless menu, select wireless direct and turn it on.
On the computer, in the bottom right corner click on the wireless icon and select the printer from the list to connect to. Then open Internet Explorer and type in the IP address (192.168.223.1) for the printer in the address bar.
This will load the embedded web server for the printer.
Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in password and type of encryption. Apply settings.
Click on the wireless icon and connect back to your network name.
Print out a configuration report to make sure the IP address is valid. (192... or 10....)
Now create a new port, this will save you the time, instead of uninstalling and reinstalling the software.
Go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click the printer, go to Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.
Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
Type in the proper IP address for the printer.
Make sure the printer is online.
Test the printer.
If you are still having issues, then try this method:
If you have a Ethernet cable, connect it from the printer to the router.
Wait about a minute, print the configuration page to see if you get a IP address.
Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page.
Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in password and type of encryption. Apply settings.
Then disconnect the Ethernet cable.
Then wait a minute to see if you get a wireless light on the printer, print the configuration page and check the IP address again. Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page.
If the printer is back on the network, create a new port. Steps are listed above.
Make sure the printer is online.
Try and print now.

[SOLVED]Broadcom BCM4313 does not detect all wireless networks

EDIT:
I'm really sorry to the Arch forum users and to the admins for posting such easy problems which i could have fixed myself.
To solve this what i did was to change the channel on the router and its 802.11 mode. I turned my main machine on and it was doing the same as the machine i posted here first so it was two machines and so probably not a problem of the pc but of the router.
I don't know if this means my network cards are just bad or something else but it works now.
Hello,
I'm having a problem with the computer on the title. When i try connect the computer over wifi(to my own network), it doesn't "see" my network. Sees all my neighbours networks but not mine. It was working till a couple of days ago.

I tried changing the encryption on the router from WPA&WPA2 to WEP and to WPA and i from TKIP&AES to simply AES but to no avail.
I also tried loading different modules still related to b43(like the legacy one) and installing the firmware from AUR.
Has this happen to anyone else?
I'm still trying to do this on the live iso so i can try as much stuff as needed and then i can just reboot and then do just what i need:)
thank you

ewaller wrote:It sounds like your regulatory domain is not set correctly. Not all channels are legal to use in all countries. Perhaps your router had been using a channel legally, but your computer is unaware of its location, and was therefore ignoring the channel. Also, I assume you are in the right band. I don't know about your system, but thus ancient laptop does not work in the 5GHz band.
Thank you for shedding some light on the subject, but actually the channels the router permits are through 2.412 to 2.472 (more less, i think that writing here 13 frequencies wont help anyone ), and what i did was look on my working laptop, the channel for the networks around the house and select on my router a channel that wouldn't be the same, but i think the router has a built in tool to do this.

PowerBook G4 12" does not reconnect to wireless network on wake

Since upgrading to Leopard on Friday my PowerBook does not automatically reconnect to my wireless network. I have to manually select the network from the AirPort menu and re-enter my WEP key, however on doing so the dialogue box in which I entered the password reports "Connection Timeout" (after about half a second - so it doesn't look like it waiting for anything to timeout). Despite this the connection to the network is established and if I cancel the dialogue box the connection remains until I put the laptop to sleep.
I'm connecting to a Netgear router and did not experience these problems with Tiger.
I've read some of the other posts on a similar topic, and have already done the following:
1. Installed the Login & Keychain update - has not solved the problem
2. Checked for the file /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirport2.kext - I did an Erase & Install so this file doesn't exist
Is anyone else having this issue? It seems slightly different to other similar problems reported.

there seem to be ubiquitous problems with wireless networking for everyone. I can confirm for my laptop and my dads laptop (both 12" powerbook g4s) that the wireless network dies after loading a couple pages online or downloading a large file. If you press option click on the airport menu it shows you the transmit rate. It steadily drops from 54 to 1 then no connection when its about to die. I just installed the update and it hasn't died on me yet, but I expect it to. I'll post back in 10 minutes to tell you if its still alive.

Windows does not connect to wireless network on startup! Please help!.

Hello. A few days ago i watched a tutorial on youtube on how to remove the red "x" problem over my internet icon, by deleting a file called "Config" in "Network" by opening"Regedit". I know see that I never should
have done that. I did that, and after that every time when I start up my computer it will not automatically connect to my wireless network as it did before i deleted that "Config" file.
Anoyone out there that know how I can fix this?. Thanks.

Hi,
Before we edit the registry, have we performed a backup of the registry files? Do we have any backup available before the changes? If yes, please take use of the backups.
Besides, could you please have a share for which tutorial you have followed? Or please share with the full registry path?
Have you tried to reconfigure the wireless network settings with your laptop?
