Can't connect to Netgear router with WPA enabled (MBP)

I just received a Macbook pro today, everything is wonderful except wireless networking. When it first started up, it detected my wireless network, showed me the SSID, and asked for a password. I entered the password, and it failed to connect. I decided to try later and did the rest of the install.
I connected via cabled ethernet and downloaded all of the updates. For a machine that shipped from the Apple store (custom config) a few days ago, I was surprised at having 13 LARGE updates to download. Grabbed them all, including a Firmware update which required two reboots. One for everything else, and another for the firmware.
I tried again from sysprefs, and asked for the diagnostics. It asks me for my WEP key, and there is no option for WPA. I tried entered the WPA key anyway, despite only three WEP options showing up, and it still fails.
Going through the Airport 'tab' and editing the connection, I get an option for WPA Personal, Enterprise, WPA 2 Personal, and WPA2 Enterprise as well.
I tried using WPA Personal and WPA 2 Personal and entering the key which works on other notebooks, still no joy.

Which Netgear router do you have? I use the Netgear
RangeMax WPN824 and works well with WPA enabled but I
think it may have failed to work the first time.
WGT624 v2. Works fine with other wireless devices from a number of vendors, and is detected by the Mac, but I can't connect. I don't want to disable WPA if I can help it, I have a number of other systems configured for it as is, plus guests that come to visit.
but some how I had to delete the connection,
let airport find it again and re-enter the password
to get it to work. One of those things I kind of did
in the process of troubleshooting and can't remember
exactly how it was I did it
I'll try that and see if it helps. Thanks for following up.
UPDATE: Sure enough, I deleted the network and added it back in by manually specifying the SSID and password, and it works now. No idea why, but there it is... thank you very much.

How can I access my Netgear Router with my iPhone?

I just set up a Netgear router for my home network and my iPhone recognizes my network, but won't let me in to type in my password so I can attach the device to the network.
Can you help?

I would recommend logging in from a PC or using an included software utility (like Linksys provides) to add the phone that way.
Why not just have the iPhone connect to the network and then type in the WEP/WPA password?

Can't connect to netgear wifi with macbook pro

I have a Netgear N900 router and although I can find the signal I cannot connect to the wifi. Each time I clicked on it, it would fail to connect and say to move closer to the router. However the router has already been upgraded to make the signal strong enough to reach my room. I have tried restarting the router and it has not worked. I have gone into the router through my browser and reserved an IP address and changed my network settings on my computer to "using DHCP with manual address" and entered the reserved IP address. I restarted my computer but now my macbook pro says that it is connected but I can't connect to the internet when i open a browser. I'm not sure if I'm not reserving the IP address correctly or if there is another solution to this problem. If anyone has encountered this problem and found a solution that would be amazing. I have been trying for a month now to fix this. Thanks!

Error message when connect to wireless router with wifi enabled phone

Wireless router model WRT54G Ver.2
i would like to seek help on this.
I have been using a wirreless router to access the internet with my computer and it has been working fine. recently i got a handphone with wifi capability (nokia 5800). I managed to connect the phone to connect to the wireless router (it says so in the phone status). but when i tried to open the browser in the phone i got an error message "No Gateway Reply".
Can anyone help me to troubleshoot?
I enable WEP for security.
another thing is, i tried to use the phone to connect to another wireless router at the cafe, it worked well.
thanks

When you connect your handphone to your wireless network, whats the IP address you are getting it on your handphone, if required you can provide a static ip on your handphone i.e IP : 192.168.1.10, Subnet : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1, DNS1: 4.2.2.2, DNS2 : 4.2.2.1 and after this you can restart your handphone and try to check if you are able to go online or not.

Can't connect to Netgear router

I'm trying to connect to my Netgear wgr614 via ethernet cable so i can set it up for wireless.
I put in the ip address 192.168.1.1 in Firefox but it keeps saying
"Not Found
The requested URL /welcome.htm was not found on this server."
The router shows up in my network preferences.
What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried "www.routerlogin.com" instead? That is what the new Netgear routers use to access the settings.
It really shouldn't matter, but give it a shot.

Can i connect my time capsule with my router as a bridge ?

can i connect my time capsule with my router as a bridge ?

I am a bit lost .. did you work this out?? You are running a second thread.. and answered it with this question.
The TC can be bridged.. plug it into the main router by ethernet and run it in bridge mode.. that is router bridge.
Do you mean wireless bridge??
If you mean wireless bridge the answer is maybe but unlikely.
If you setup the TC to join a wireless network.. it becomes a dumb client not a bridge.
So to get it to wireless bridge you need to use another apple router.. that is the only way to get them to work.
If you want specifics ask specific questions.

I can't connect to the router in my home. Things were working fine as usual - I attended school and connected to their WiFi network as usual. When I returned home I could not connect to my own home router. The Ipad seeks the network but nothing happens

I can't connect to the router in my home. The Ipad seeks the network but nothing happens. I went to school and connected to their WiFi network as usual with no problems. When I returned home I could not connect to my home router. The Ipad seeks the router number but nothing happens. I rebooted the Ipad a few times in the school. The numbers identifying the router, etc. on my Ipad no longer appear there.
TThe Ipad guide says to connect to the WiFi use setup but I can't find the setup program in the Ipad.
I reset the network settings to the factory defaults but this doesn't fix the problem.
What can I do to reconnect to my home router?

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

After software Update (2006-07), airport can not connect to the router

Hi,
I installed the software update 2006-07. Afterwards the airport extreme can not connect to the router anymore (NETGEAR). I use a WEP key, but even if I type the WEP Key, the airport does not succeed to the router anymore... I called Apple Care and they wanted that I install the firmware restoration. But even I didn't succeed to install the firmware restoration. On the firmware restoration web page (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/firmwarerestorationcd12.html) is written that I have to turn on the computer and continue holding down the power button until the LED blinks rapidly followed immediately by a successive series of blinks (3 quick blinks, 3 slow blinks, 3 quick blinks). But after the LED blinks, there is not the successive series of blinks...
I know there is 2 questions in one message, but could you please help?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Eric

Can i setup a wifi router with my IPad2 without using a computer ?

Can i setup a wifi router with my IPad2 without using a computer ?

This is going to depend on what wireless router got get. Some want to do all administration functions via a ethernet cable connection for security reasons.
Once the router is configured, you will no longer need a computer.
Try looking for a router that configures through a web browser & allows administration from a wifi connections.
I think the easiest thing will be to have a friend come over & configure with a laptop. I believe that you can configure the router without have a broadband connection. You could configure it at a friends house. Might not want to connect to the friends broadband so not to confuse your friends broadband. ( this is only a worry if the router also includes the broadband model. Just a wireless router without a modem is not worry ).

Moved my laptop and now I can't connect to the router

I'm a novice at this - but that didn't stop me from setting up a wireless network - it was very easy, everything went fine and was working great for months. I took the laptop out of the house and used it at another location. When I brought the laptop home again it asked for a password - which do I use the passphrase or Key 1? Should I expect this to happen everytime I mobilize the laptop? My router is WRT54G. Thanks!

Connect to your router with a cable and name your network different. "linksys" is the default network name of a Linksys wireless router. Anyone you buys a Linksys router and just plugs it without changing it ends up with it. Maybe another neighbor bought a Linksys router as well. Thus, always rename the network name to something unique so that you can be sure that you connect to your network and not to somebody else's. Because the problem is: when your computer searches for wireless networks it only checks the name of the network. It does not show whether there is only one access point with that name or several. It could be a roaming network where several access points must have the same name or it could be just accident like several people running routers with the default name. Therefore: connect to your router with a cable, open http://192.168.1.1/ and reconfigure the wireless network name (SSID) on the wireless tab to something else. Connect to that network...
