Your wireless network will probably just work without any fiddling You could also launch your 'Airport set-up assistant' which should be in your Utilities Folder.

  • Time Capsule slow internet with Linksys router

    I has issues with slow internet page loads. I have a Linksys WAG325N router connect to Telstra ADSL 2 with a Time Capsule. I use two wireless network one broadcasted from Linksys and the other wireless network from the Time Capsule. When i'm connected to the time capsule i had slow internet page loads and the Time Machine backups fail.
    When connected to the wireless network from the Time Capsule i get 10% to 30% packet loss when i pinged the Linksys router and 0% packet loss when i pinged the Time Capsule.
    I then connected to the Linksys router then i has packet loss with i pinged the Time Capsule and 0% loss when i pinged the Linksys.
    I used the Airport Utility and changed the "Ethernet WAN Port" from automatic to "10 Mbps/Full Duplex".
    This seem to fix the problem. I think there is some issue with the port speed negotiation between the Linksys and Time Capsule.
    Time Capsule 7.4.2
    LinkSys V1.00.13(01)

    The same thing is happening to me, exactly. Although my top speed is lower than yours (I'm on FiOS). Unplug it for a second, and you're back to normal. Otherwise, it will slowly and inexorably degrade until you have something worse than dial-up.
    This is completely unacceptable, and it's far too typical of the current state of Apple's quality control and support that there is no official acknowledgment of this screamingly obvious and annoying problem, which happens every single time I use my Time Capsule, which is to say every day, and no recommended fix.
    Sometimes I feel as if I could really hate this company!

  • Issues with macbook and wireless compatibility with netgear router

    my macbook wireless is extremely spotty with my netgear router at home.
    the connection is sometimes very good, but other times, extremely unreliable.
    the wireless connection to the router is perfect, 4 bars. and it is actually within 10ft of the router itself.
    i use my macbook constantly at my college student center, and the connection to the network and internet is perfect...
    is there any way to fix my internet connection in regards to the netgear router?? (all other PC + PC labtops are perfect with it. its just my macbook that has issues)

    I have to agree with you.
    I have a Netgear Cable Router, my iPhone & my wifes iPhone, my Vista PC & my older Vista Laptop connect with out a problem and are rock solid to boot.
    My new MacBook Aluminium seems to be very tempremental at best. Dont get me wrong, i love my new macbook but i am a little unhappy that this is happening. Looking at others on this forum, it seems to be across the board so will happily await a firmware/driver update from apple.
    With any luck, this should be resolved shortly.

  • Problem connecting to internet with linksys router after internet network password reset

    I do not know the model number of the wireless linksys router offhand, but it is one known to have a bug regarding connecting the internet. Others have solved the problem by buying another model number, but the person who owns it does not want to buy a new one since he does not know how to use any other one.
    What happened is our phone company (also the internet provider) was having technical problems so there no internet connection. Then, my computer opened with internet page to reset password to connect.
    Although I am able to get a connection on my wireless laptop, this other person in house is unable to connect to wired computer through linksys.

    Hi. WUSB300N is actually a wireless usb n adapter. A wireless receiver not a wireless access point or a router. You may want to check if you have a wireless Linksys or Cisco router there.

  • Unable to connect Officejet 6500 and Wireless internet simultaneously in Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I am using Mac OS Snow Leopard and Officejet 6500. Before upgrading to Snow Leopard, I was able to connect both my printer and my wireless internet simultaneously (Leopard OS). However, after upgrading to Snow Leopard, I'm able to connect only one of them at a time which is really very inconvenient. Whenever I need to print, I need to manually select "hpsetup" from the Airport drop down and wait for it connect. This disconnects my internet. Then I need to select my wireless internet option in the Airport drop down again once I'm done with the printing.
    This is defeating the entire purpose of a wireless printer. Guessing that its a problem with HP developing the required driver for Snow Leopard. I've already downloaded the driver meant for Snow Leopard but this is not solving the problem.
    Also, would like to know whether its a problem with everyone or specific to me?

    OK, great questions.  I'll try to address them by number:
    2. I do not think this is possible.  I think your printer was initially connected to your router and has recently fallen off (thus broadcasting 'hpsetup').  Sorry, I am not saying you are lying, but I do not think it is possible without two radios.
    3. a.  Yes, you can only talk to one device at a time through your computer's wireless radio.
    3. b.  You can attach your printer wirelessly in case you need to move it, but....see "c" below.
    3. c. I would recommend that you attach your printer via a wired connection (Ethernet cable) to your router if you can.  It is by far easier to set up and more reliable in the long run.  I can help.
    The wired and wireless sides of a router talk to each other.  By the time it gets to the router it really does not care if the connection is by wire or wireless, it treats all "clients" the same.  That is why I recommend to wire your printer to your router and keep a wireless connection between your computer and router.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Ibook and wireless internet

    I have an ibook G4, 466, that I use when the wife and I are out doing our RV thing. I would like to get away from the dial up modem and go to wireless.
    However, I have been told that I can not use wireless internet with the iBook because the wireless internet requires some hardware to be installed.
    Is anyone using the off the shelf ibook and wireless internet?
    Or does anyone know what I need to do to start using wireless?
    Thanks

    You can find the original AirPort card online at the following places:

    These links had them available as of yesterday. They do list them as out of stock sometimes, but have been able to restock them. They are getting rarer and more expensive all the time, so the sooner you buy, the better.
    I had one AirPort card conk out on me, so I recommend paying the $20 or $30 more for a new one. I would not buy a used one if I could avoid it.
    Good luck. Wireless is wonderful.

  • Privacy and Wireless Internet

    My roommate has a Mac and a Time Capsule, and he has set up wireless Internet with and given me the password so I can use it.
    However, I was wondering if there are privacy issues with the Time Capsule. For instance, can he in any way monitor my internet usage, such as what sites I'm visiting? I don't really care if he can see when I was logged in, but can he see that as well?

    Hello GreggBarinski. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    However, I was wondering if there are privacy issues with the Time Capsule. For instance, can he in any way monitor my internet usage, such as what sites I'm visiting?
    No, at least not natively using the Time Capsule/AirPort Utility. However, if his ISP or by using a third-party service/application, he potentially could.

    I have a Linksys Router and Cable Modem.  Plus I have Vonage for my home phone.  I have been having several problems and now, my Vonage phone will not work at all.  I have cable internet and my ISP is Cox Commuication.  I do not know how to connect my Vonage device with my Router and Modem.  People have been giving me advice, but nothing has worked.
    Does anyone know how to intergrate all three of these items together?  Basically which plug goes where.  Currently my phone is not working.  The only thing that is in use right now is my linksys cable modem.  I have the power cord plugged in, the blue cord from the modem plugged into my laptop, and the cable from the modem to the wall jack.  Please help.  Thank-You!

    The router should be online first. Can you get into the router's configuration page?
    The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

  • Linksys and wireless capabilities with Mac

    Hey everybody. I recently started a new job and use wireless internet through my Mac. The problem is that when I try to connect to the linksys router that we have, I see the name and I know the right password but it either tells me it's the wrong password (which it isn't - or is there a way I can find out for sure what the password is??) or it gives me the error message. What can I do to get this thing working???
    Thanks!
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Some suggestions for you...
    Try temporarily removing passwords and encryption from the router. Can you connect like that? Also if you plug an ethernet cable between the 2 do you have any success.
    I'd also go onto the Linksys web site and have a look for any firmware updates for your router. Mine wouldn't work wirelessly until it was patched.

  • Help!  Strange Problem with 23" Apple Cinema Display and Wireless Internet

    For some reason, Safari runs much much slower on my housemates new 23" Apple Cinema Display than just on his new Macbook. He is running Tiger. We use Airport Extreme for house-wide wireless, and he has an Airport Express to connect to his printer. Here is what he wrote:
    "Last night, I was watching videos on ABC.com --- not a problem to watch on my laptop screen (new Macbook) - very fast. Then, after dinner, I plugged in my external screen (Apple Cinema Display), and it was so slow and wouldn't load. I unplugged the screen, and it was lighting fast again, so I watched the videos on my laptop screen. This morning, I was plugged into the external monitor and the Internet was slow to check my email. I unplugged the screen, and it's lightning fast now on my laptop screen.
    Does this make any sense??? Why would my external monitor affect the Internet speed? "

    I am having a similar problem as well. When I attach my 23" cinema display to my MacBook core 2 duo, my connection to the internet immediately stops working. I have tested this several times and it happens every time I connect the Cinema Display to my MacBook. When I disconnect the Cinema Display, my internet connection works perfectly again. I'm stumped as to why this happens.
    I have tried several different searches on the forums, but have found no other threads besides this one. I'm I won't have to suck it up and pay the $50 for the call to AppleCare support.

  • Need Help with Linksys router broadband-b

    I have a Linksys wireless-B broadband router for some reason it just went crazy on me. My wireless card is a wireless - G . Now when i had Verizon DSL  i  got this router and a USB  wireless adaptor from verizon. I had the usb adaptor on my wife computer and the router and modem  on my notebook for six months we had there dsl service until we moved  to a nother city. Once we  had all of our service's transfered  to the new home  we could not get verizon DSL there.
    So for a nother six months we had to use  dial up and being that we run a home business dial up was just not up to the task. Well we got rid of dish network  just to get cable T.V. just to get the cable broadband service. That's when i got a wireless card for my notebook anyway  for six months the network was working  just fine with the router and my wireless card.
    Until  Sept  this year just a few weeks ago the router started going crazy. Before my note book was config for windows to connect  linksys was connecting  and i would see all conection in the site survey,  and my own network  also. Until a few weeks a go  my network would not show .
    So i call linksys the have me download   some up dated firmware that would not install on my notebook or my wife computer after being on the phone for hours with linksys they come to tell me that  the router is ok and working alright after all the test   and steps they took me through with the router. Linksys tells me that there is something wrong with my PCM slot  on my notebook or either  my linksys wireless card. Ok  First of all i can pick up signal  on other networks  and go on line like the Hilton  Hotel  when i go in there parking lot, Second  i can pick up othr networks and get on line that are not secured  sometimes  so this tells me that there is Nothing wrong with my PCMI slot or the wireless card.
    Now i took my router across the street to a friend house and guess what he gets a signal  off the router with his notebook  but i can not and when we plug the router in the AC outlet  the internet light was flashing like crazy and my wireless card was not even in my notebook so that tells me that someone close was pulling signal off my router  but i cant.
    Can someone please explain this to me  i want to get another router wireless - G this time but if there is something that can be done to get this one working like it should that would really help.
    The Notebook has been checked out and config  and that works well when i hook the either net plug in from the modem  the  router was config as well but i just can't get a connected to the router when i use the wireless card.   

    Yes press and hold the reset button in back for 30 seconds and release.  Wait 10 seconds and power cycle the router.  Now connect to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password 'admin'.  Now try.

  • Can't find wireless printer with E2000 router

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 (running Vista Home Premium) that connects to my Linksys E2000 and to a wireless printer, the Canon MX870.  It's been working for months without problems.
    I just got a Toshiba Satellite P770-BT4G22 Laptop (running Window 7 Professional 64 bit) and installed the Cisco Connect software following the instructions where you have already set up the router and just need to install the software to do things like add a device.  I can connect to the router fine using a web browser or the Cisco Connect Software and my Toshiba connects to the Internet through the router without problems.
    The problem is Cisco Connect says it can't find a wireless printer when I run it on my new Toshiba.  I've put the printer within 3 feet of the router with my Toshiba in between but still it can't find it.  My Dell in another room connects to the printer no problem.  And I can print to the Canon if I  select the Shared Canon Printer ( on the Dell) using the Toshiba's Control Panel Add Printer function.  But obviously that means the Dell has to be on so that's not good for much more than troubleshooting.  I've also wired a connection from the printer to the Toshiba and downloaded the latest driver, printed that way so I know that's not the problem.  The problem is that Cisco Connect can't find the printer.  It says there are 6 devices attached to my router so it's seeing something, but I guess not the printer.  I've turned any firewalls off for this testing too.
    I'm stumped as to why it can't find the printer when the Dell did and they are all on the same network. Unless it's not compatible with 64 bit Windows.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have already added the printer to my network using Windows Add Printer prior to assigning the printer a static IP.  But I followed your instructions in making the IP static so if I reset the router I don't have to go through the process again.
    When I ran CC and told it to add a printer, it did not identify any printer for me, it went from the screen where you say to add a printer to one where it asked me to name the printer.  Honestly, I wasn't even sure if it was referring to the Canon because I'd already added it using Windows, albeit without a static IP, just by knowing what IP it had been assigned.  After I gave it the name, it went back to the "home" screen with computers & devices, parental controls, etc.  No errors, but no real way to see or change what I had done. 
    That's why I was asking if there's a way to look at the router and view devices that have a static IP.  I can view the DHCP table but it's not there of course.  I don't really see anywhere using the router software (either by web connection or CC) where the Canon printer is listed.  I see it in Windows Printers, but I saw it there before I reran  CC and it asked me to name it.
    I appreciate your help and I'm glad to be up and running with it.  Especially with having a static IP.  I'm just trying to better understand what happened and how to view my devices connected to the router.
    Thank you very much for your help.
