C410 wireless connectivity up and down

I am going out of my mind. I am trying to get my new C410 on my wireless network. Sometimes it shows up and sometimes it doesn't. I have been racking my brain all day trying to find some pattern. I have a dlink wbr1310 router, the firmware is current and the filtering is off. I have a laptop and two android phones and a Wii that connect to the network flawlessly. The printer is hooked up to a desktop through a USB. At least that works.
I set up a static IP for the printer outside the dhcs range and that did not help. I downloaded the HP net diagnostic tool and ran it on my laptop. Sometimes it will detect the printer, sometimes not. It doesn't detect any firewalls except for windows which is disabled. I downloaded an HP app for both android phones. After multiple tries, I did get one of them to find the printer and print a photo. Even manually entering the IP address in the browser on both computers and droids will not get the printer setup page every time. Most of the time it gets a server timeout. I powered the printer off a few times and it wouldn't even connect after entering my WPA key, then suddenly it will. I have no idea what is causing this.

Sorry, I meant MAC filter.
The DHCP server is enabled on the dlink. The DHCP IP address range is up to 199 and the printer was set at 239 when it went to a static ip. I saw someone suggested a fix to set the IP address outside the DHCP.
I think I do have everything hooked to the dlink. The dlink has 2 network cables that go to my desktop and PS3. The Laptop, Wii and phones all connect wirelessly.
This evening I tried to print a wordpad doc from my laptop while the printer was "asleep" (The wireless button is lit). The laptop said the printer was offline. I started to run the HP network diagnostic program and the printer suddenly woke up and started to print the wordpad document. After the printer went back to sleep, I tried to print the same doc and the laptop said the printer was offline again. That is where I left it.

Dropping Wireless Connection & Speed Slowing Down

Hi,
Up until a week ago I had two BT lines, I will call them line 1 and line 2. Line 1 (front room) was used purely for phone calls, and line 2 (middle room) had Broadband activated on it. When it came time to renew the yearly line rental I checked and had it confirmed by BT that the available Broadband speed was faster on line 1, so I decided to cancel line 2, and move my Home Hub 4 into room 1 having arranged to activate Broadband on what in theory should be a line that gives a better speed.
My current problem is two-fold. Firstly I am not yet getting the line speed that I was expecting. I have spoken to the Technical Help Line, and understand that following the activation of Broadband on the line in Room 1 I should wait 10 days for the available speed to stabalise. Currently I am 7 days on from line activation.
A few days ago I was getting download speeds around 2.70 Mbps, with upload speeds around 0.38 Mbps. The IP profile for the download speed at that time was set at 2.77 Mbps. The IP profile for the upload speed was set at 0.45 Mbps. Over the past week I have done numerous speed checks and found that the speed did vary, as might be expected, but was generally always around these figures. Because of the line check speeds I was given by BT's own staff I was expecting the available speed to get better, not slow down! I was originally advised to expect line speeds of between 3.5 Mbps - 5.5 Mbps.
Over the last 24 - 36 hours the speed has slowed down, and a few minutes ago these are the figures I observed:
Download speed achieved during the test was - 1.3 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.8 Mbps-2 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 1.33 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.34Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.45 Mbps
Line speed then is one issue, but there is another.
My second, presently very frustrating problem is that even though the Hub 4 is consistently powered, and maintains a steady Blue light showing that Broadband is available, my wireless connection that I receive from the Hub keeps dropping. I should add that the distance from the Hub 4 in Room 1 to where I work with my laptop in Room 2 is only about 15 - 20 feet. I used the old Hub 2 until a few weeks ago, and neither my daughter on her laptop, or myself, had any problems with 'dropping' the wireless signal, whichever room we were in, or even if we used our respective laptops elsewhere in the house. I was convinced enough by the publicity 'blurb' to believe that Hub 4 was more reliable, with fewer drop-outs. So far this has not proven to be the case.
I know that I need to wait a few days more till the 10 days are up, but would really appreciate some kind soul commenting on the above. I have looked at the Logs, but without knowing what segment would be helpful in aiding a diagnosis of my two issues I didn't want to provide unnecessary information. So if any particular element of the Logs would be useful, please let me know.
Yours in hope,
Alan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello again,
With your help I was able to locate the place to change the channel manually, which I did, thanks for that. It only resulted in a marginal improvement, but any improvement is good I guess.
HH4 has now been showing a steady connection for three + days, so, as requested, here are the noise stats:
16:14:16, 26 Nov. ( 76.170000) DSL noise margin: 22.00 dB upstream, 12.20 dB downstream
16:14:16, 26 Nov. ( 76.080000) DSL line rate: 448 Kbps upstream, 3104 Kbps downstream
I have done several speed tests and they all show broadly similar results, namely that my download speed is usually around 2.67, whereas my IP Profile is set at 2.74.
I don't know whether this is worth mentioning but I only have an old style BT socket on my line, not one that has a test socket inside, so I can't do any of the tests using that facility.
Although my broadband connection has been stable and active on the HH4, as far as using wireless to connect my laptop in another room I do still get several dropped connections each day.
Even when I am connected to my HH4 by wireless, and my signal, as now, is only in the four bar bracket, by looking at the other Networks that are active in my street/area I can see, although it is rightly secured, that someone is using a HH3 and the signal on that is powerful enough to register a full five bar (excellent) strength on my laptop. How near or far away from me that user with a HH3 is I do not know, the point is however I can receive a more powerful and consistent signal from their Hub than my own. I must confess to being puzzled by that. What could be the reason?
Is there any further help or guidance that you can give that might assist in raising my IP profile, in the hope that my speed might increase? Or do you have any further suggestions as to how I might reduce the noise on my line to a more acceptable amount, so that my signal might give me a better wireless connection?
Thanks again for any advice or help you are able to give.
Regards,
Alan

Wireless connection drops and doesn't reconnect (netcfg, wpa_actiond)

I use netcfg 2.5.4-1 and wpa_actiond 1.1-1, B43 driver (BCM4318 wireless card) with firmware.
$ uname -a
Linux vekta 2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 15 20:08:25 UTC 2010 i686 Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3100+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Connecting works fine. I can connect using sudo netcfg <profile>, or it automatically connects me on startup.
However, after a few minutes (up to 15 at best, usually 3-5) the connection is dropped. dmesg prints:
"No probe response from AP <macaddress> after 500ms, disconnecting."
However, netcfg isn't notified of this event, and still thinks the profile is connected. So I have to use netcfg -r <profile> to reconnect. Isn't netcfg supposed to notice this connection drop and try to reconnect again automatically?
Also, is there any way to increase the 500ms threshold mentioned in the log? I don't think I ever had this problem when I first installed arch in november/december last year.
Thank you.

LaserJetP2015dn Wireless Connection problems and Windows 8.1

I just purchased a Lenovo laptop with Windows 8.1 touch screen. I didn't have any trouble downlowning printer drivers for the P2015dn and the printer works just fine. However, now I can't get the wireless connection to work so I can print wirelessly. I'd appreciate any help out there - thanks!

Also, on your online "Wireless Printing Center", I am seeing "Windows 8: Launch the Printer Software from the Start screen (using the icon for your printer model) or from the tile named for your printer." However, I do not see this icon on my Start screen. Only the "Wireless Configuration", "HP ePrint", and "HP LaserJet Guide".

Wireless connection stops and starts using Mountain Lion

Since installing ML a few days ago, my wireless connection isn't stable for about the first five minutes after waking from sleep mode ... the process is:
- wake from sleep mode
- wait about 10 seconds for icon to reflect wireless signal
- click on a website to open
- wireless signal starts searching and finds nothing
- click on network diagnostics
- signal returns
- try to open website again
- same problem occurs
This seems to last a few minutes but once the connection finally takes, I'm able to access the website and others ...
This is occurring with a brand new (mid 2012) MacBook Pro 13"

Yup, same here. I see this in multiple locations, so its not the router.

I keep having to turn my wireless connection off and on

This has been happening for the past month or two, and only on my home wireless network. There's no set length of time, sometimes it's if I'm downloading a lot at once, sometimes I open a single website, and my wireless connection freezes up on my MacBook Pro. It's "solved" by turning my wireless connection off on my MBP, then turning it back on. No other devices at my home connected to my Linksys router have this problem; iPad, iPhone 3GS, Xbox 360.
I've tried removing the network from my computer, and reconnecting it. I've reset the router a number of times, too, and no luck. Any suggestions?

There are several threads on WiFi issues. It appears there are a multitude of things that can cause wifi problems. I have been following several threads on this site on the issue. I personally have not had this problem but I became fascinated by this topic.
The other poster suggested you check out the channel broadcast of your router and others your computer can see. Someone could have changed their channel to sit at the same frequency as your router, but this would not appear as a change to you. There is software available to scan your environment. AirRadar is one I have used.
Another thing to try:
Remove plists to reset the wireless system
Go to Macintosh HD -> Library -> Preferences -> SystemConfiguration ->
Delete the following Plists:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.nat.plist
come.apple.network.identification.plist
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
Networkinterfaces.plist
This has worked for some.
In some instances people have resorted to pinging their own router to keep the "alive".
This workaround that works for some:
As soon as you connect to your wireless network, Open Terminal and start a ping going. They use their router IP address; but any local address will do: for example with an Airport basestation at IP addres 10.10.10.1
ping 10.10.10.1 <return>
You'll see a string that looks like:
64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=728 ttl=64 time=1.527 ms
64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=729 ttl=64 time=1.513 ms
64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=730 ttl=64 time=1.203 ms
64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=731 ttl=64 time=1.684 ms
64 bytes from 10.10.10.1: icmp_seq=732 ttl=64 time=1.063 ms
you basically keep this running in Terminal all the time.
From personal experience I have had routers die. So I have two Linksys and one Dlink carcass in my office. Now onto an Airport Base station. Some posters have found success with software upgrades to the routers.
External WiFi adapters that plug into the USB ports to get around any issues with the built in Airport card or router signal strength. My daughter at college got one called the Bear Extender, greatly increased signal strength for her.
Many vehement discussions why this suddenly changes. No conclusions.

Satellite L450D-13x - wireless connection lost and won't register at all

I have a Satellite L450D-13X ,I have been able to use the wireless connection until today when it stopped working. No matter what I do it says the wireless device is disabled.
I have tried updating and diagnostics but they all come back fine.
Can anybody help?

Try to rollback OS to earlier time using system restore tool. Maybe some Microsoft update has screwed up WLAN functionality. Very often WLAN driver is listed as option for update.
Try this as first step.
Try also to restart your router.

Why does my Macbook sign me out of my wireless connection sometimes and ask me to re-enter my password?

It usually happens when I'm streaming live video feeds such as Webcams.
Macbook White 2009 May I believe?
2.13ghz dual core
2 gigs of ram
Operating System: Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Might actually be something to do with your router. If you have a firewall set up and you are streaming constantly your firewall might choose to kick you off the network. Just a thought.

Not the average problem with wireless connection. Please help me..

I've been having wireless connection problems ever since I upgraded to Verizon FiOS from Verizon Wireless. Before upgrading to Verizon FiOS in the fall of 2012, my brother's laptop connected just fine with the connection. After upgrading to Verizon FiOS, my brother's laptop could not connect to the internet. It showed the wireless connection signal as Excellent, but I could not access the internet. Either it would be extremely slow or there would be no connection at all. Also, the router would sometimes restart itself randomly, and it was extremely annoying for me since I am hardwired with my desktop.
This was weird because my iPod Touch connected perfectly fine to the wifi. So I thought it must be the laptop. But I brought the laptop over to my cousin's house, who also happens to have Verizon FiOS, and the laptop connected perfectly fine. I called Verizon and none of the technicians knew what the problem was. We tried disabling and enabling the router, changing the channels, and anything that was on the list. They couldn't help me and I was extremely disappointed because not only am I not accessing the internet with my brother's laptop, but I am also paying for the service too. The last technician I called in 2012 decided to send me a new router. I hoped this would work, but it did not. This router, too, would completely reset itself numerous times before settling down and letting me use the internet.
I gave up after that. But in the spring of 2013, I got really fed up with the service I was receiving and I decided to call Verizon again. Again, Verizon tried to help me fix the laptop with their tools and solution guides. But nothing good came out of it, so I decided to ask for a technician to come to my apartment to fix it. We scheduled a day and I was pretty excited since I was almost positive that the connection for the laptop would be fine by then.
I was wrong. The technician came and only stayed for about 20 minutes. He said it must be the laptop or it must be that the walls are too thick in my apartment. But that can't be it since, in my cousin's house, the router is on the second floor and my brother was using his laptop on the first floor. So it couldn't be the laptop nor the house. So we came to no conclusion. He just attached a mini router to the laptop and hardwired it. I wasn't so content but I was glad my brother could finally use the internet now.
About three months pass by and I decide to get myself a new laptop. I get it and I am hoping the wireless connection works. It did, so I was almost positive that it was my brother's laptop that was the problem, not the wireless signal. I go on vacation for a few days and I connect perfectly fine at my friend's house. When I return home and try to connect to my wireless connection, it didn't work!
At this point, I am extremely frustrated. I decided to call Verizon again to replace my router because it was being extremely annoying. It kept resetting itself and I was tired of it. I replaced the router, and this is the router I currently have, but I STILL have the same problem. It resets itself on its own time and I hate it because I'm always in the middle of something. Wow, just wow. There is nothing they could do to help me fix this. I call up a technician, for the millionth time, and he tells me he can't access my router. This occurred with the previous technician who sent me the new router. He tells me his tools are not working and tells me he'll call me back the next day.
It was the next day and I did not receive any phone call. I am extremely disappointed in Verizon FiOS' service and it's customer service. I leave it alone and I just hardwire my laptop to the router. Of course this works, but what's the point of having a laptop when I have to keep it hardwired on my desk? After a day or two, I decide to check if the wireless connection works, and it did. I was surprised. But every now and then, it would shift on and off. Most of the time, the wireless connection is either EXREMELY SLOW or I get none at all, nonetheless, it still says the connection is Excellent.
Please, if there is anyone who could help or try to help me, I would most appreciate it. If there is more information that you need, ask me and I will try my best to provide it to you.

Admittedly, that IS a strange case. Unfortunately, it sounds like all possible troubleshooting has been done by the tech support agents. you mentioned that you were dissatisfied with your other service, did it have a similar problem? theres a possibility of dirty fiber or a bad ONT port, but the random rebooting of the router would almost exclusively be a bad router. question: is the router in the same location as before?

X100e regularly dropping wireless connection

Had my new x100e (Windows 7 Home Premium, 2GB RAM, 22GB hard drive) about 3 weeks now- trouble is it drops the wireless connection consistently and regularly every three minutes- I've sat and timed it. Then it will immediately start reconnecting. Have used the laptop at home, at a coffeeshop, and at my university campus. Same behavior at each location. I bought this to replace my lenovo S10 netbook- which I absolutely lloved and never had a minute of trouble from with daily heavy use so this is disappointing. Also currently using Word 2007 trial and it goes buggy on me fairly regularly- won't save- claims not enough memory. I copy my text, shut down Word, reopen Word and paste my text back in, and then it will let me save. Again, disappointing given my last experience with a lenovo product was so outstanding. I'm thinking maybe the Word issue has something to do with Windows 7? But my main concern is the wireless dropping- Should I return the computer? Thanks for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

UPDATE- I had already changed my settings to Maximum Performance a few days previous and dropping continued. Since this post I went to Device Manager and Power Management tab on the wireless adapter- I unchecked the box for "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power." Dropping issue appears to have cleared up- still have some seldom drops but nowhere near the regularity and frequency of before! Thought I'd post this in case somebody else has same problem.

IMac suddenly has trouble with wireless connection

This is how it happened:
1. Landlord buys electrically faulty mansion
2. Landlord realizes he cannot keep up with mortgage and property taxes
3. Landlord subleases rooms to renters, including me
4. House has a power outage, iMac shuts down.
5. iMac recognizes wireless network, but shows that it has zero connectivity (which is false, because my two other laptops connect just fine, because their powers obviously weren't cut off abruptly)
6. Verified and fixed the iMac with installation disc, but still the wireless connection comes and goes on its own whim.
7. Tried shutting off nearby computers to see if it would take away any sort of interference. Worked, but after hours of working, iMac yet again fails to connect.
8. Tried assigning it IP ranges and all that - no luck there.
So what now, guys? Am I going to have to send my beloved iMac away for repair? It's the current model, if that helps. Any help would be appreciated...!

Just called apple support. This is what they suggest:
System management control reset:
1. plug out everything that connects to the imac
2. press the power button for 7 seconds
3. don't start the imac yet!
4. as SOON as you start the imac, press command/option/P/R.
If this doesn't work, then you need to pretty much bring it to the store to have it looked at.
This actually worked for me.

My hp top shot laserjet pro m275 cannot find my wireless connection

Hi there,
my printer cannot find any wireless connection available.
and the blue light on the wifi icon is blinking.
how do I solve this problem so i can print again?

The blue wireless light flashing means you are not connected to your routers SSID. You need to go back and connect to your routers SSID with it's password to get the light on solid.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.
If my post resolved your problem, please mark it as an Accepted Solution ...

Can't create a WPA2-Enterprise wireless connection; missing Microsoft: PEAP

OS: Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise
Hardware: Lenovo T410S w/Intel 5300 ABGN Wireless
If I try to build the wireless connection manually and choose WPA2-Enterprise, then click next, I get 'An unexpected error occurred.' and no options to configure; just close.
I then tried to create a Preshared Key WPA2 connection. This worked fine. When I go to edit the connection, I have the ability to select the WPA2-Enterprise options, however in the list of Network Authentication methods (under Security Tab), I don't have
the Microsoft: PEAP or SmartCard options. I only have Cisco: LEAP,PEAP,EAP-FAST and Intel: EAP-SIM,EAP-TTLS,EAP-AKA (6 entries).
It's my theory that because the Microsoft options are missing, the wizard gets the unexpected error. I'm wondering how I get the MS ones back.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums.
Do you have Symantec installed? It is said the issue could be due to conflict with Symantec Endpoint Protection. Please uninstall\reinstall Symantec

Having problem with wireless connection

Hello Everyone,
Ok, just like what the title says.. I had a roomate before that had the acct. and moved out with his account. I used to share Internet service with him using a WRT54G router and everything was fine. Since he moved out I had to get my own one on my name and started using the same router, but this time I decided to put a security on it, I lost my CD, so I decided to go to linksysfix and download the program. I installed it on my lap top and everything is working good, except for the desk top that my brother has. His also connected to the router that I have but cannot connect on the wireless, the desk top used to work before I downloaded from linksysfix. We can see the network name and the signal is high but won't connect and cannot go online. It's kinda weird, wireless used to work before the reset and installing from linksysfix. My lap top is working great, no problem with it, just the desk top. Desk top works using wire, but the wireless function is not working. Called tech support for linksys and dynex for wireless card and did not do the job. Last night I was trying still and was able to connect wireless on some network called STREAM, not sure where it is, but they're homepage shows up. anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks
Ricky

Go to: Start Menu>>Control Panel>>Network and Internet Connections>>Network Connections. In this window look for your wireless connection icon and right click on it, then click on properties. Here you will find the wireless tab to set up your wireless card.
1.security = either WPA or WPA2
2.Encryption = TKIP or AES
3Security Key = whatever you decide to choose =Wwd3Rtt29PlsM =example
***Also you should plug in you wireless computer with the wired Ethernet cable while you are doing this, then dissconnect.
Good Luck,

Hub drops wireless connections when transferring l...

My HH2 is having wireless issues over the last month or so - in that when I either transfer large files across my network or download a large file from t'internet after a while it kicks ALL wireless connections off and then refuses to allow them to re-connect. I have to reset the hub to get access again.
Is it faulty or is there something I should be checking.

The Homehub has a problem with packet fragmentation try changing the MTU values on your Network devices.
The Maximum recommended value on the BT Network is 1458.
