Blinking amber, "no wireless networks found", rescanning, but internet work

OK - so, everything was fine at home with my airport extreme, hardwired to the modem and my Mac Pro. Wireless worked fine on laptop & iPhone. Today I bought an Airport Express so I can stream music to my stereo. Ran Airport Utility and POOF - blinking amber lights everywhere, utility asking me to rescan over and over because it says I now no longer have any wireless networks - even though the internet works fine. Blinking yellow on base station, blinking yellow on express, yet utility just tells me to rescan, and everything else is grayed out. Banging my head against a wall. Anyone have an idea?

You configure the Express via AirPort Utility. If you cannot see the Express when you open the AU app, click on the AirPort icon (of your Mac) on the upper menu. See if the Express network shows up there. If so, log into that network and open AU again to configure it. If that does not work, get an ethernet cable and connect the Express to your computer. If the Express still does not show up on AU, do a hard reset and try again. Once in AU, you can configure it to try and join or extend your network.

    error(cannot connect app store)

    Any error codes or messages?
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open it.
    Or...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Permissions.
    Re-install if that doesn't work.

  • WRT54G router set up, Wireless network found, but cant connect.

    I've had this router working for over a year but for whatever reason, it stopped working about a week ago. Powering off the router and cable modem usually works but not this time, so I attached a cable from a laptop to the router and tried to run the setupWRT54G setup CD. After step 7, it kept repeating itself in a loop... trying to reconfigure the router and asking for the password. Finally, I exited and the window message box said "Setup is not complete, continue exiting?"  So I accessed the router setup thru IE via the cable:  Http:\\192.168.1.1 and set up the network and gave it a new name, channel 7, etc. My wife can access the network from her work laptop via wireless, so its working for her. As for the other laptop and other desktop in our home, when we search for available networks, we can see out network and click "Connect", ... supply the router password that I issued in the router setup, but it says that it cant connect after a minute of trying. What have I done wrong? One laptop can access the network and two cant. Before last week, all 3 could access the wireless network. FYI - I downloaded and installed ther latest fimware from the LINKSYS website (V8.XX), but no difference. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

    Keep in mind that the router setup password is not the same thing as the encryption key that you use to connect wirelessly to the router.
    If it works normally from your wife's computer, I'd be looking at the settings on your computer first, rather than the router's.
    In network -> TCP/IP -> properties is it set to get an IP address automaticaly?
    If the above aren't the issue, I would do a hardware reset of the router back to factory defaults and enter your settings again from scratch. That's a recommended step after upgrading or reloading the firmware anyway, even if you weren't having this trouble

  • WVC54GCA camera, no wireless network found

    I just purchased a WVC54GCA camera and I am having problems getting it set up.  I have the power plugged in, and the network cable plugged directly into my router, (the solid blue light is on), but when I get to step 2 in the Setup Wizard, no wireless network is found. I know I have a wireless network running, because I have another PC connected, and that PC is also able to find my neighbors wireless network.
    The routher is a SMCWBR14-G2 EU Barricade™ g Wireless Broadband Router set up in 11b/g mixed mode.
    Has anyone solved this problem? Right now I only see one solution - to return it to the shop where I bought it, but I would like to have the camera working in the wireless mode.
    Arne

    I've just been working on the same problem for the past 4 hours...
    I tried so many things, but finally found something that seemed to work.
    Forget about the Linksys set up software. You'll have to work with your web browser to access your modem/network settings and your camera settings. Just manually enter the information into the linksys BASIC SETUP section (SSID, etc). I chose a fixed IP address and set that up with my modem settings too.
    If you can set your camera up manually, ie. through the default http://192.168.1.115 or whatever yours is set at, then pull up your modem/router settings page (mine is a 2wire - http://192.168...etc)
    Find the "device details" for your camera. Copy the hardware address. Something like 
    00:21:29:7f:6c:c2
    Under the wireless settings for your home network, try to find something that says "MAC filtering" or something similar. ENABLE this, if it is not already and see if you can ADD the camera's hardware address to the list of allowed devices.
    After doing this, and powering off and on my camera - Hey Presto! It was working. Don't even know why I tried this - I guess I'd tried everything else and it looked like a good idea...
    Hope it works for you too. I'd love to think that all these hours of my trying to find a solution pays off for someone else!

  • No Wireless networks found (WIFI adapter not visible)

    From 2-3 days , my laptop's wifi adapter was disabled automatically. 
    The wireless network doesn't showing WIFI option. 
    Therefore I am not able to connect to any WIFI network.
    Please help

    Hi @21_95,
    Thank you for your inquiry.
    I grasp that your wireless was automatically disabled and you are unable to enable it.
    If you check Device Manager is there any errors on it?
    You can check this setting also while you are in Device Manager.
    Click on the network adapters to expand the list.
    Right click on the wireless adapter and choose properties.
    Click on the power management tab.
    If allow the computer to turn off this device to save power is checked please remove it .
    Repeat that process for any additional network adapters.
    Here is  link to HP PCs - Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8) that may also help.
    As this is a recent occurrence you could test for a hardware failure of the card.
    HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
    You could also try a HP PCs - Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) which will reinstall your Windows but should not affect your files.  I do suggest that you do a backup of your files just to be on the safe side.
    Good Luck!

  • No wireless networks found

    Last night while browsing ITunes on my Touch the network was disconnected. I checked to see if the router was down, it wasn't. Tried connecting other wireless devices to the network and they got on. I even connected to my network with my wife's Touch. This touch is brand new (as of yesterday) and now I'm not able to find any wireless networks whatsoever. Like I said, I was able to browse the internet and all yesterday until the abrupt disconnect. I tried shutting down and restarting (both the router and my touch). I've done the soft reboot of the Touch. I'm at a loss as to why my Touch won't find any wireless networks...any ideas?

    Same problem with my Intel iMac. When I boot up from an off state ('reboot' doesn't work) I get a perfect connection for a time, about 15 minutes. If I don't use wifi at all during that time, then I lose all 'bars' (in the Airport menu item), and cannot see any networks, my own or otherwise (there are 4-5 in my neighborhood). Turning Airport off and on from the menu item does nothing, nor does a reboot.
    The kicker is that if I use the network aggressively from the start (streaming video, big downloads, network games) it can stay on for hours. But when it gets 'bored' it just quits out on me. I'm about two days away from bringing it in for service.

  • I can get on the internet with my laptop using my wireless network at home but I can not get on the internet using my ipad.  The wi-fi setting show a connection on my ipad but I can not pull up the internet.  Any ideas?

    My laptop connects to the internet via my wireless network at home.  My ipad will not bring up the internet using the same connection.  It shows in the wi-fi settings as connected but when I bring up safari, nothing comes up.  Any ideas?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • Old Wireless Network Found

    First of all, I am a newbie in regard to wireless networks, so please be patient with me!!!
    Here's my problem:
    About a year ago, I set up a wireless network on my computer.  It worked great.  My son was able to access the Internet with his laptop just fine anywhere in our home.
    Recently my son disconnected the wireless router and used it at a party with his friends.  (They connected a couple of XBox gaming systems together to play XBox Live).
    After the party, my son reconnected the router to the computer, but he was not able to get his laptop to connect to the Internet.  In our troubleshooting, we ended up recreating a wireless network on my PC.  My son's laptop finds the wireless signal from my PC, but it finds an old network name -- not the new network name that we recently created.
    We are at a loss on what to do next.  Can anyway give us some direction?
    Thank you very much!

    I think that with some routers you can have multiple networks running at the same time. If you reset the router it will restore to factory defaults and delete all metworks running. From there if you just recreate a network again it will only have the 1 network on it.

  • Airport Extreme Blinking Amber But Internet Working Fine Multiple Status Messages

    I have Airport Extreme 5.6.1.   It started blinking amber showing Airport did not have a valid Internet Address.   I was concerned about with changing anything if I could still connet.   Checked a forum and it suggested to go to sheck status and see the problem.   I did and now I have a new mesage.  No DNS server address.   I am hesitant about doing anything because if I do and lose internet connection I am really up a creek without a paddle.  

    Just to update.   I unplugged my modem for a short time.   When it powered up the light was green on my Airport Extreme.

  • I recently upgraded my OS to Lion 10.7.4.  I also just upgraded from a 1st Generation Time Capsule to a 4th Generation Time Capsule.  I have an Airport Express (Version A1264) that I formerly used to extend my wireless network.  AE no longer works.

    TC first gen was not simultaneous dual band. So.. it's probably best to factory reset your extreme and then tell it to extend again.

  • 2 wireless networks, suddenly one doesn't work!

    I have an odd problem that cropped up yesterday (Tues).
    I have a wireless network at home using a D-Link 624, an iMac G5, and a Powerbook G4 (aluminum). Works great!!!!
    At school/work (I'm a teacher), we have a wireless network in my classroom, where I can just change my "location" on the Powerbook and it automatically connects to the school network. I've been doing this since August 2005. I use DHCP at both locations to assign an IP address.
    Here's the problem: Monday at school, no problem with network. Monday night, I switched locations to "HOME". No problem. TUES morning at school, I switched back to "SCHOOL" location, and got "not connected" messages. When I looked at the TCP/IP settings, it showed me an IP address of 169.254.205.150, INSTEAD OF the 10.159.177.xx I should have had. The subnet was also wrong, and the router didn't show up at all.
    I pulled out one of the laptops assigned to my classroom and checked/compared the setup, and saw where mine was coming up wrong (see above), but even choosing DHCP MANUAL and inputting proper settings didn't help.
    I had the school technician examine my laptop configuration, and he couldn't figure it out. It's obviously NOT the router at school because the other laptops are connecting just fine, only MY personal laptop suddenly won't. The tech suggested maybe there's a problem with the built-in Airport card, but when I went home and changed the setting to "HOME" it worked perfectly.
    Today (Weds) back at school, same problem... I've had to resort to using an Ethernet setting and cable (so much for roaming with my PB!)
    What else can I possibly check that will solve this problem??? The only thing I can think of, I MAY have had a software update (regarding Java?) Monday evening at home.... other than that, I'm STUMPED!!!!!
    Please HELP!! There's a reason I need WIRELESS, I don't have enough ports at my desk to support my use of Ethernet on the laptop.

  • How can I use an Airport Express to join my wireless network and provide an internet signal to my Power Mac g5 via an ethernet cable?

    I have a power mac g5 that does not have a wireless card, and connects to the internet via ethernet cable.
    I want to know how to set up an airport express so that it joins my wireless home network and provides the G5 with an internet signal.
    This via an ethernet cable that is plugged  into the airport express and then into the ethernet port on the g5.
    Please advise as I have configured the airport express in every way possible, the green light is on and when I plug the ethernet cable into the G5 my network cofigurations shows nothing and says that the ethernet cable is not plugged in (It is).
    I get an internet signal if the ethernet cable is plugged directly into my wireless router, so the ethernet port works.
    Please assist. Thanks.

    Two requirements that must be met to do what you want.......
    1) An AirPort Express 802.11n must be used. Check the Model No on the label on the side of the Express. It needs to be A1264. Any other model number will not do what you want.
    2) The Express must be configured to "Join a wireless network" and the option to enable Ethernet Clients must be checked. 
    Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
    The box to "Allow Ethernet Clients" must be checked
    Please check to verify that your AirPort Express meets both requirements

  • Connected to Wireless Network, Not Connected to Internet...

    Hi All
    I recently had my NVIDIA graphics card replaced as it freaked right out the other day.
    I took my MacBook Pro home yesterday and everything was perfect. It connected to my wireless network @ home as normal, and was functional all night.
    I have come to work today, and it automatically joined up with the network here. Only problem is, that whilst it connects to the network here, and obtains an IP address as well, as soon as I try to connect to the internet, it says that I am not connected to the internet!!!
    Now the finer details:
    * I have reset EVERYTHING. Routers, Modems, Computers etc
    * All firmware is still the same as it was pre-nvidia fix up.
    * Distance is not a problem, I am sitting next to the wireless router.
    * An ethernet cable from the router to my computer ALLOWS access to the internet
    * My Iphone can connect wirelessly to the same network and browse the internet.
    * A windows PC can connect wirelessly to the same network and browse the net.
    * I can see that it is connected to the router AND given an IP address.
    Please help!!!

    I had the same problem. I sent my MBP to get a Logic Board/Nvidia fix and when it came back I could no longer connect to networks using DHCP. I have to manually put in my IP, Subnet, etc. for every network I join.
    Randomly about a week in I had some pop-up window show up asking me to allow incoming network connections for something and when i clicked on it I was able to us DHCP again. Just tonight it stopped working and I am once again in the position where i have to manually input IP info, etc.
    Super Frustrating

  • Network connection OK but Internet connection lost on laptop

    I successfully installed 10.6 on my desktop first. Although I was connected to the network, I had no Internet connection. I fiddled around and did something that fixed the problem (not sure what). Then I installed on my laptop (family pack) and had the same problem: network connection OK, Internet connection not OK. Fiddled some more, but no joy. I've spent hours trying to get to the bottom of this, to no avail. Ran disk utility and network utility just for the heck of it. Anyone know what setting must have changed to knock off my lap top Internet connection? (I have Airport and WiFi through AT&T U-verse.)

    In my case the DNS address is greyed out so I cannot select it. What worked for me - occasionally - is changing the Network location to 'Automatic'. I had it set on a custom setting. Unfortunately this is sporadic. It will start to display content then just stops. I can jump-start it by fiddling with location but not always. The Airport range seems to be reduced too but I think that is just the flakiness of the connection.
