Can't connect to netgear wireless internet

I live in close proximity to several people who all share a netgear wireless internet connection. THey all use windows and have netgear hardware to recieve the signal. My mac can detect the network but the password that everyone else uses does not work on my airport. Any help would be great.
I should add that none of my neighbors could really qualify as a network administrator. The network has been inherited from former tennants.

1.If there is a hexadecimal password, no one knows it and it is completely obscured from a common computer user being able to locate it.
To get the hexadecimal password, convert each character in the ASCII string to it's hexadecimal equivalent. For example, using www.lookuptables.com the phrase
TigerNetwork6
converts to
54696765724E6574776F726B36
2. ASCII requires a 5 digit only password including the quotation marks.
It sounds like you are only using 40 bit WEP. That is essentially useless. Use WPA if possible. If not use 128 bit WEP (13 ASCII characters, 26 hexadecimal characters).

  • Hello, my sister her macbook pro cannot connect to our wireless internet. My imac however can, so the problem has to do with her laptop. We were wondering how we could solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance!

    We did that, but it just doesn't seem to be able to connect. So basically we tried to connect to our network and insert the password, but afterwards it does nothing. Weird thing is also that the network symbol (top right of the screen) says that it has been connected, but when I go look at the system preferences --> network, it states that it has not been connected

  • Can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously

    I can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously.  My old AE allowed this but can't make the new one work that way. 

    In your instructions, you say to use the same encryption type as the router has set up. well, I am using the WEP 64 bit encryption and the Airport Utility does not have this...it has 40 bit. Is this a problem, or do I have to be using a the same type of encrytion ?
    WEP is available in either 40 or 104-bit, but is usually "advertised" as either 64- or 128-bit respectively. For example, 64-bit WEP uses a 40 bit key (also known as WEP-40), which is concatenated with a 24-bit initialization vector (IV) to form the 64-bit RC4 traffic key. So, WEP 64 on the Linksys & 40-bit is equivalent.
    What concerns me more is the loss of bandwidth performance you are experiencing when connecting the AX. When the AX is configured as a wireless client it is acting just like any other wireless devices (computer, laptop, printer, etc.) and not like another router. This should cause little or no bandwidth loss. True the more secure the wireless encryption used WPA2 vs. WEP, the more overhead is required for security, but the differences you are seeing seem excessive.
    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing your Linksys from providing a good clean signal.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:
    For Macs:
    o MacStumbler
    o iStumbler, or
    For PCs:
    o NetStumbler

    The Find my iPhone service option is given to you when you first set up the device. If you just reset it, you may have been given that option. So, in other words, the service may have been enabled even if you didn't realize it. You can then go to www.icloud.com and click on Find my iPhone, and have it play a sound. Or, you can use the Find my iPhone app on your mom's iPhone, but the service would still need to be turned on on your iPod.
    Unlike Compukid said, Apple will not assist in locating a lost device without the Find my iPhone service.
    I found that out 2 years ago, it's just that I thought Apple might have changed that.

  • Connecting to new wireless internet makes macbook stop functioning?

    Hi adamtreff!
    I have a couple of articles that can help you isolate this issue a little further. First, you will want to be sure you are using the correct settings for you Wi-Fi router. These are the recommended settings on your router for best compatibility with iOS and OS X devices:

  • I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet. I keep getting message that my network configuration settings have changed. Ive been advised that i need to change settings to look for dynamic ip address ?

    I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet and am getting the message that my network configuration settings have changed. I have reported it to my provider who advised that they think the Mac is looking for a fixed IP address and they use dynamic addresses. I have had the Mac for months and have not had this problem before. I would appreciate any help please on how to fix this ?

    Then I get a separate pop up that says: Secure Connection Failed. aus3.mozilla:443 uses an invalid security certificate.
    The certificate is only valid for the following names: securelogin.arubanetworks.com, www.securelogin.arubanetworks.com
    (Error code: ssl_error_cert_domain)
    This could be a problem with the server's configuration or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
    If you have connected to this server successfully in the past the error may be temporary and you can try again later.
    I have tried many many times!

  • Trouble connecting to my wireless internet

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble connecting to my wireless internet. We have a linksys wireless router, and I know the MAC filter is turned on, so I've added my computer to the router, and I've put the password in correctly, but it keeps saying there is an error connecting to the network. All my other roommates have PC's, this shouldn't be a problem? My Mac should have no problem connecting to this modem, right?
    Thanks

    Hello jennhie,
    You can download the firmware at your router manufacturer's homepage. Look for download>firmware
    If you are not familiar with the process, download the manual as well. It will be very helpful in the update process.
    Hope this will help
    Good luck

  • Can't connect to any wireless networks

    My macbook pro can't connect to any wireless networks outside of my home router. I've just taken it on holiday and I can't use it in any free wireless coffee shops or hotels.
    Whenever i select a network it shows it's connected with black bars in the radar icon but I cant access the internet or mail. Most frustrating is it's working fine in windows when I use boot camp.
    I hope someone can help

    Sometimes they can be stored in your Router and/or Modem, but having them in your Mac makes it so you don't have to rely on what's in or not in other's Routers.
    I don't understand DNS...
    Simply put.. you type in apple.com, your Browser goes out to a DNS Server somewhere with the request to link to the number of that name, then comes back with 17.254.3.183... if you ever wonder, you could type in that 17.254.3.183 IP, if it doesn't load Apple, then you are not connected to the Internet, yet if it does, and apple.com doesn't... then it's just that nothing is looking up the addy!

  • Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

    Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

    If you have ethernet still on your MBP plug it in by ethernet and tell me if that works.
    Tell me how the Airport is setup.. what broadband modem and router you have.
    What OS on the laptop? Yosemite I guess.. since it is the most troublesome.
    Did it work before whatever change was made? Has it worked in the past? When did it stop and what did you do that coincided with it stopping?
    Upgrade to Yosemite??

  • I can't update my ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server"(despite internet connection being fine). Also, when I try and update software it starts then stops after 2 seconds

    I can't update my Ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server" despite internet connection being fine. When I receive a software update message;I say install and it starts updating then stops after 2 seconds. Help! (It is a 3rd gen IPod touch(I think)). Presumably as a result of this, I have tried to put my library onto my gf's new iPod touch and it just charges it..doesn't download my library onto the touch).

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • HT201335 Can I connect an Ipad wirelessly to a projector?

    Can I connect an Ipad wirelessly to a projector?

    Epson has a bit of software called EasyMP for PC's or Macs - this can be used wired USB / VGA / HDMI - or used wirelessly from either device without too much trouble.
    If you give the Projector an IP Address in its own "Settings" Menu and then connect wirelessly using Epson's iProjection App for the iPad it should work.
