Can't connect to airport network

I have had massive Airport troubles since upgrading to 10.5.2. I recently upgraded to 10.5.3, hoping that would solve my problems, but it has not. It got so bad that I gave up and installed an ethernet network in my home office. But I would like to have the portability of Airport again so I'm hoping I can figure this out.
Right now I cannot even connect at all to my network. I have two computers - a Mac Pro and a MacBook. My network shows up with full strength on both, but if I attempt to connect, I am prompted with a password dialog box. The password is stored in both computers' keychain, so I click "okay" and I then get a "connection timeout" error. The password is correct, but neither computer can connect.
The router is a D-Link DIR-655. I have checked the settings and everything is as it should be. The password is WPA Personal and I have triple-checked it to make sure it's correct. I am getting great signal strength so that's not the problem. I simply cannot connect with my Macs.
Thanks for your help.

Make sure the router is in bridge mode
and both Macs using DHCP

  • Can't connect to airport network (but macs can)

    I have an airport extreme base station that usually provides connections to three computers, an iMac, macBook, and one pc. For a while however I haven't been able to connect the pc to the airport. The network does have security in the form of a WEP password. I don't know much about network security however, and the windows interface for wireless networking has different terms than that for mac. Even stranger, the PC doesn't even see the base station, nor does it see the network in the wireless network connectiosn window, but sometimes it does see the network (with a good signal) but it cannot connect. I have all of the software updated, so I don't think it would be that, but maybe there's something I'm missing? The PC lately has been connecting to other wireless networks around the neighborhood, so I don't think it's the network card either.

  • Wireless printer can't connect to airport network

    I recently installed the new airport extreme (n) to replace my old router. I set up the wireless network with WPA protection and my computers and airport express work fine. However, I have been unable to get my HP all-in-one wireless printer to connect. The printer connects fine if I set up the network without security.
    HP is suggesting that I set up my printer with a "WEP equivalent key" to my WPA password.
    Can anyone tell me where I can get a "WEP equivalent key" to WPA? HP won't say and is suggesting I call Apple.

    Simple answer is - you cannot. There is no such thing as a "WEP equivalent key" to WPA, because WEP and WPA are completely different security protocols.
    Does your printer's wireless interface support WPA? If may be that it only supports WEP, and what HP is actually recommending you do is use WEP (instead of WPA) security on your base station. WEP passwords are typically configured on a computer (or other wireless client device) as either a string of alphanumeric characters, or the hexadecimal equivalent to that alphanumeric string.

  • Kindle can't connect to Airport wireless network

    I've read many other discussions, but I haven't found a solution to my problem.  I just bought a 4th generation Wi-Fi only Kindle, but I can't connect it to my Airport wireless network.  I own a 1TB Dual-Band Time Capsule with firmware version 7.6.  It is configured to connect to my DSL model/router using Ethernet, and Connection Sharing is Off (Bridge mode).  I've tried many different wireless settings without any luck.  Currently, the radio mode is set to "Automatic" (802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n), Radio Channel Selection is "automatic" (149[5 GHz]/10[2.4GHz]), and Wireless Security is turned off.  Originally I was using WPA2 Personal, but I wanted to eliminate security from the possible problems, so I turned it off, but I still can't connect.  In my log I see the following lines several times:
    Dec 21 18:33:21          Severity:5          Disassociated with station f0:a2:25:23:43:dd
    Dec 21 18:33:22          Severity:5          Associated with station f0:a2:25:23:43:dd
    I can successfully connect to my network with a MBP, an iPhone, an iPad, and a Canon wireless printer.  I did have a similar problem with a wireless HP printer, but I thought the problem was with the printer, so I returned it.
    I am able to connect the Kindle to a friend's Linksys wireless network.
    Any suggestions?

    Bridge Mode is probably your problem - at first, I couldn't get my Kindle to connect to my Airport Extreme, which is configured in bridge mode because I have Verizon FIOS internet and have to use the FIOS router.
    However, I found a workaround:
    1. Unplug your Airport router, and enable the wireless on your DSL, cable, or FIOS router (it may be enabled already; I had turned mine off since I didn't see any point in having it broadcast a wireless network that wasn't being used).
    2. Now you should be able to connect from your Kindle - make sure it has the same name and password as the wireless network name you chose for your Airport router
    3. You can now turn your Airport router back on, and because your Kindle will remember the network, it should be able to connect successfully from now on, even if you go back and disable wireless on your DSL/cable/FIOS router.
    Please also tell Amazon about this problem! All my other wifi-enabled devices have no trouble connecting to my network - the Kindle clearly has a bug that makes it handle routers running in bridge mode incorrectly.

  • Upgrading to xcode and can't connect to the network

    Hi! I use a C++ library in my application which connects to the network (I suppose it uses sockets). I've been using it for months and I was using xcode 3.2.4. Now, I just had the great idea of upgrading to xcode 3.2.5, and I found out my application was crashing with the error:
    If you are encountering this problem running a simulator binary within gdb, make sure you 'set start-with-shell off' first. 3.2.5
    Ok, couldn't solve it, so went back to 3.2.4, as suggested somewhere. The application is not crashing anymore, but now the library can't connect anymore to the network. Tried to rebuild it (I didn't write the library but I have the sources) and use the new library, but nothing. Still the library can't connect to the network. I tried with every simulator.
    Any idea what there could be wrong and how I may be able to solve this? Can I somehow delete manually everything related to xcode and the simulator and try to start all over again?
    Thanks!

    I've been able to temporarily solve this problem by removing the entire Development directory and installing again xcode 3.2.4. Even with xcode 3.2.4 however, the same happened, and I had to do this procedure again. Now it seems to be working correctly, but it seems something very strange has happened. Hasn't anyone experienced anything similar?
    Thanks!

  • Can't connect to wireless network with Apple Computers (WRT54G)

    Hi.
    I have had a password protected router (WRT54G) for over two years that any pc will connect to if I give them the password.  However, my roommate has an apple laptop and he can't connect, no matter how many times we try.  I just got an ipod touch, and it can't connect to the network either.  We are inputting our password correctly - why can't apple computers connect to my wireless network??
    Again, my router is a WRT54G.
    Thanks !!!

    Make sure you enter the correct password...To check your Wireless Settings follow this link
    If your Wireless Security is WEP then use WEP Key1 and not the Passphrase, make sure to enter a dollar sign on your Apple Computer when you attempt to connect...If your Wireless Security is WPA/WPA2 then use the WPA Shared key and no dollar sign is required...

    Hello
     I have a Samsung 700T tablet.
     Since I got the latest update 9926 I am having issues with my corporate network access. I have to type in my user name and password on the wireless connection. When I do I get "Can't connect to this network" message.
     I have tried multiple drivers for the network card a "Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6235". I am currently using latest.
     I am able to connect fine with my home Wifi.
     On the "System" event log I get the following error message when I attempt to login no the WiFi.
     "A fatal alert was received from the remote endpoint. The TLS protocol defined fatal alert code is 42"
     Any ideas?
     I have checked and my card is set to use DHCP.
    God bless,
    Bruno
    ---  got this answer ----
    Have you tried talking to your system administrator? We had a fun bug in our Cisco wireless access points and wireless controller that would
    kick Win 8+ machines from even trying to connect. A very long firmware and software update process fixed it. 
    --- answered back ----
    Hello DatAsian,
     Thank you for your response.
     This is a very large wireless network, and as far that I know I am the only one having this issue. My other devices on the same cube work fine. The only difference is of course Windows 10. The other machines are Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.
     In the past this was caused by a driver, but I have gotten about 6 different version of my wireless driver and they all have this issue.
    I read on the troubleshoot about entering the wireless configuration manually by using the "Hidden network" screen. The instructions go:
    2. Tax or click to connect to a network
    3. Tap or click Hidden network tap or click Connect and then enter the network info.
    I cannot find this "Hidden network" text on the "Connect to a network" screen. Am I missing something? Do I need to check something that allows me to connect to Hidden network? 
    One thing that I forgot to mention. I need to enter my user name and password when I enter this wireless network, since this is Employee Own device network.
    Any other ideas?
    God bless,
    Bruno

    Is there a way to set windows to the same type of authentication?

  • Self-assigned ip address -- can't connect to Airport

    I have a 2006 MacBook Pro which recently started exhibiting the exact same behaviour as reported by another poster in 2011:
    For some reason the computer has started self-asigning its IP address and Network Preferences says that, because of the self-assigned IP, i cannot connect to the network.
    I have two other Macs connecting to the same Air Port with no issues and I've tried to duplicate those settings on the MacBook Pro but still get the "self-assigned ip" message
    Tried re-setting SMC and PRAM, no change.
    The only change to my wireless setup was the change from a Verizon-owned modem to an owned Motorola unit (but the MacBook Pro connected successfully, many times, after the change).
    I didn't knowingly change anything on the MacBook Pro -- from one day to the next it just stopped connecting.
    I'm really at a loss to understand what's going on and, of course, not happy that the MacBook Pro can't connect to my network anymore! Help!

    The wifi icon shows no connection with the network -- the "!" mark.
    However the computer sees the network, i.e. when I search in Network Preferences the network is listed.
    So: 1) the computer sees the network but 2) will not connect to the network. The reason given for refusal to connect is "self-assigned IP address".
    Not to be repetitive but two other Mac laptops are connected to the same network and working perfectly. The network preferences, as shown in the "advanced" section, are the same for all machines, i.e. DHCP is selected and IPv6 is Automatic.

  • Can't connect to external network

    Switched from a Netgear router to a Cisco E2500 and now my Samsung blue ray won't connect to internet.

    Before I suggest you for any kind of troubleshooting steps, I would like to ask few questions. Let me know the name of the ISP. Leaving Samsung TV, do you have any computer which can access the internet wired and wireless? If yes, what IP address do you get in the computers?

    Try resetting your modem. Power it down. Wait a moment, then power it up again. While it resets, do not change what is connected to it.
    In another, though unrelated article, Apple recommends the following:
    If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.
    This step really ought not be considered optional for the configuration you propose. If the problem persists after resetting your modem, reset everything else too.

  • Can I connect to wireless networks far away?

    How do I connect to wireless networks further away?
    Is there a way I can improve my laptops wireless range so I can connect to wireless networks further away?

    Hi!
    You can only connect to wireless networks that the notebook recognizes. If the notebook recognizes a wireless network, you can connect to them. If it doesnt recognize (because it is further away) you can not connect.
    Furthermore you can not improve the wireless range from the laptop. You can do this on a WLAN router, not on the notebook.

  • Windows 8, Error: "Can't connect to this network"

    I have wracked my brain, my colleague’s brains, and used my googlefu to no avail.
    I have a Win8 basic (cheapest OS) HP tablet 1000G2 that I am having troubles with. I have a network that requires WPA2-Enterprise with PEAP. It will not connect to this network, it will however connect to a neighboring network without
    any security settings. I have fixed this issue once before and the same fix is not working.
    The kicker... I have another exact same tablet that we got the same day... No issues connecting
    Problem: It does not take the security settings that the server is prompting for. It prompts me for my credentials, but gives this error: "Can't connect to this network"
    I did research last time and the collective reason was that the security settings weren't correct.
    Solution that worked last time:
    Connect to a network with open sec settings.
    Open network and sharing center
    Change adapter settings.
    Right click wireless adapter click status
    Wireless properties.
    Security tab.
    Change my network settings
    Reconnect to my network
    The tablet has been fine until today. These steps above do not resolve the issue anymore.

    Change any properties one at a time that I thought might deal with this.
    Removed all HP bloatware/3rd party connection managers.
    Troubleshooting I tried last time:
    Uninstalled and installed adapter drivers.
    Tried the windows diagnose
    Googlefu "Can't connect to this network" and you come up with a bunch of pages I have clicked on them and none of the solutions have worked.
    Please if you have any solutions let me know! I am at my wits end with this dang thing.

    These are all logical ideas, but alas I have already checked all of this. We do not have any blocking other than credentials(which are not locked and are correct). The amount of connections would be determined by how many IP Addresses that I have(which is
    a ton). Not the wireless router, because we have many other devices that connect to it just fine. No mac filter. No the other pc isn't connected. No it is only connecting to one network.
    I should mention that this is in an enterprise and not an at home network. It is a WAP not Wireless Router.

  • Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update

    Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update.

    This does not work in my case.
    Situation: we have wifi at home using WPA encryption.
    The iPod Touch 8GB connected seamless to this network and anything was ok. After some days i could no longer connect, the iPod told me "connection to network 'networkname here' failed". Deleting the network and reenter the (correct) passphrase was no help, but changing the SSID on the router was helpful: the iPod could connect again ... for several days.
    Now things stopped working again. Resetting network settings did not help either.
    The iPod can see the network, is asking me for the passphrase and after several seconds telling me: can't connect. On the router log i don't even see a dhcp request, but other laptops work fine with the same wifi network.
    That's a mess, i cannot and will not change the SSID every some days just to get the iPod working again.
