Can't connect via wireless wrt160n ver 1

I am using a wrt160n version 1 with the latest firmware. The internet is via cable modem which works fine and the computer i am writing this message with is connected to the router via ethernet. The problem comes when i try to connect another PC (mine, this is my mum's) via wireless. I am using windows 7 and it says after 2-3 seconds Windows cannot connect to the wireless network. The signal strength is showing excellent with all bars full (and i have checked this by moving the router to within 10 cm of the wireless aerial of the computer that fails to connect and nothing changes). Occasionally it will connect, but the speed is awful and it wont reconnect when windows is restarted. I don't know why it connects occasionally. When i say occasionally i mean after 100 or so attempts, but this is no guarentee. I have tried multiple aerials including one with an insulated cord, so you can put the aerial far away from your computer, so i don't think theres a problem with interference.
I have tried:
resetting and reprogramming the router, including factory reset
re-aplying the latest firmware
deleting the connection profile in windows
resetting my computer and the network adapter (my wireless card)
3 other network cards
moving my computer, the router, the aerial
changing channel
formatting the computer that cant connect, fresh installing windows
cursing and praying.
In the network diagnostic details from windows 7 auto-repair thingy, it seems that pre-association is working, but actual association is failing. The error code given is "0x00038002" next to association. Further down it also says that it failed to recieve a response from the access point or router. The funny thing is, everything was working fine a few weeks ago with the exact same hardware and software. Nothing has changed except my ability to connect.

Well I think (fingers crossed) mine is working properly now... so far so good.... i have a happy teanager again... she has internet.... ha-ha
Default reset on WRT
Firmware update to Version 3 on the WRT (that was a pain in the butt... )
default reset on WRT (AGAIN)
reconfig..../set-up .etc....
Had to adjust the settings on the firewall of the Win7 laptop to allow Cisco Pure networks and Network Magic to enter the wall...
As much as I didnt want to... I also installed Network Magic on both computers and it really walked/guided me through alot of the issues and fixed most of the items by itself... Saved info to USB and uploaded to Win7 laptop... and it is working fine now......
Lets see if it last and works smoothly....

Can't connect via wireless

Hi guys, I'm experiencing difficulties connecting to the internet via a wireless router. For some reason it won't accept the WPA password I'm typing even though it's the right password. I have no problem connecting to internet via a wireless router with my iMac and MacBook but not the G4 Quicksilver. Please help...
Thanks

I have an iPad Air and hp3210. Can I connect via wireless connection

Question as per heading

Hello Cruiser27,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you would like to use your HP Photosmart 3210 with your iPad Air wirelessly. Unfortunately this is an older model printer that does not include the ePrint, AirPrint or wireless feature.
To get a better understanding, take a look here: HP Web-Connected Printers and Supported Cloud Services
If you are interested in a AirPrint supported printer, I suggest calling our technical support at 800-474-6836, to what upgrade options they have available to you.

D-Link wireless + Cable Internet:: can't connect via AirPort

Just got my service changed from DSL to Cable and can't connect via wireless (but can with an Ethernet cable). Have tried the Wi Router settings to no avail. Any ideas? I think I might not be doing some setting in the comp correctly. Please help. Router is D-Link DIR-625.

Did you open Airport and see if you see the wireless router? If you can see it, you can select it and then make sure it is set up properly in networks in the system prefs.

Can't connect to wireless via Airport - Other's on my network can though :/

I woke up this morning to no internet on my mac. I usually use Airport, and it usually automatically connects, but today it made me type in my WEP key again, so I did, and still no internet. I have FiO's so I went on Verizon's chat service and they said it wasn't the Router because my xbox, other pc's, etc - were connected via wireless network, so it had to be my mac. Everytime I try to connect, it picks up the wirless network, I type in my WEP key and the Airport icon get's 5 bars, but then when I open up my browser, an exclamation comes up over the sign and it says "No internet connection". Just a little side note, it said that the airport doesn't have an IP address, and sometimes it say's it does, but because it was automatically assigned, it can't connect. Also, the DNS tab, under System Preferences > Network > Advanced, shows no ip's it's just all blank. I have a 2007 Macbook. I called up Apple and before I could even tell them my name, they told me I was un-eligible for help and hung up on me, great people they are. If I could, I would take this mac back and get my $1150 I paid for it, back. So now this is my last resort. Please post if you have any idea how to fix this. By the way: I am on an ethernet cable, so the internet and wireless obviously works. It has to be my mac, right?

I was having the same problem with the wifi not connecting to our home network on only one of our Macbooks. It kept giving itself a self assigned ip address. Everything else would connect fine to the home network and the computer with the problem connected fine to every other network aside from our home wifi. After reading this thread and trying everything on it, this is what finally fixed it: I didn't have anything under the 802.1x tab either. So I:
Turned the Airport off and completely deleted the Airport in network preferences.
Then I went to keychain access and deleted EVERY wifi network password saved under both Login and System.
I turned the computer off and removed the battery and did the SMC reset by holding down the power button for 5 seconds.
When I restarted the computer, I reset the PRAM by holding down OPTION, COMMAND, P, and R at the same time RIGHT AFTER I pushed the power button to turn it on and before the grey screen appeared.
It reset and when the computer was back on, I added the airport again and joined my home WEP wfi network. It worked perfectly! Now I don't know if all of these steps are required to fix the problem but this is what worked for me. The Macbook with the problem was a black Macbook running 10.6.8. Good luck!

I have an iMac running OS X 10.8.3 and have connected an Epson Workforce 2540 printed that is allegedly Airprint enabled. I can connect and print with a USB cable but can't connect via Airprint. My colleague running 10.7 can. Is this a feature of 10.8?

iOS devices use AirPrint to connect to a supported printer. OS X will use Bonjour to locate and connect to the same printer.
With the Epson connected to your wireless router, when you open Print & Scan and click the plus button to add, does the Epson appear in a small box with a heading of Nearby Printers?
If not and a window appears showing Default, Fax, IP and Windows in the toolbar, do you see the Epson with the Default view selected?

Connecting via wireless & blue square?

hello
I'm connecting to the www via my router and when it's not possible to connect I seem to be connecting via a blue square on the toolbar ,anyway what is this and can it be switched off because I only want to connect via wireless router or hotspot
Thanks

Hey macbookair,
The Blue square means GPRS: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306795
Try the Wi-Fi tips listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
Forgetting the network or resetting network settings will probably take care of it.
If the iPhone still cannot join the Wi-Fi network give us a little more information about the specific wireless router you are connecting to and the security being used. Also Include the number of characters in the network password.

How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse with a brand new Mac mini?

How can i connect a Wireless Keyboard and a Trust mouse to a brand new Mac mini?

Go to the Bluetooth icon on the menu bar and select "Set Up Bluetooth Device". Follow the wizard.
Alternatively, if you haven't yet unboxed and setup the Mini, you can pair the keyboard to the Mini (and possibly the mouse). However, I would set up with a USB keyboard and mouse and pair the Bluetooth devices afterwards.

Can't connect via PPPoE in menu bar

Hello,
After not touching my Network Configuration settings for like three years, a glitch in my Unison 1.8.1 newsreader prompted me to go in to check, but I then encountered the prompt that has been afflicting lots of people: "Network settings have been changed by another application."
So after some research here and via Google, I deleted /Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist and restarted the computer with the file still in the trash.
I then manually reentered my ISP Network Configuration info (TCP/IP and PPPoE, as I use ADSL), but since then, I have only been able to connect via the Internet Connect program, rather than my preferred method that I've always used of connecting by using the PPPoE drop-down menu "Connect" command in the menu bar in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen.
Going back to System Preferences' Network Configuration, showing the Built-in Ethernet's PPPoE panel, the "Show PPPoE status in menu bar" box remains checked, and indeed does display in the menu bar, however, only with a functioning "Disconnect" command -- NOT the "Connect" command, whose functionality I am seeking to restore.
I realize this is more of a cosmetic problem, as I can still connect via the Internet Connect program, but would appreciate any tips for restoring the functionality of the PPPoE drop-down menu "Connect" command in the menu bar. Thanks in advance!

Hi Steve, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkConnect.<12 digit number>.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Then reboot once more.

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.
Bye

Can't connect via webdav to server 4

Since upgrading to Server.app 4, I can't connect via WebDav. I keep getting one of two connection errors:
1., "Unable to connect to the server. Check your internet connection and server name."
2., "Authorization error: Please check your login and password for this server."
I am using the same login and pwd as sftp, which works just fine. Also, I am on the same network as the server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've had similar issues. I haven't completely resolved them, so I went back to Mavericks/Server 3 and I'll wait for an update. For what it's worth:
1. I was able to sign in as a different user. Both users (successful and failed) have the same permissions on the WebDave share, according to Server 4.
2. I never was able to sign in from a Windows 7 machine. The discussion linked below explains why:

Can you connect via thunderbolt a mac book air 13" (2013) and a imac 21" (2013) together, using the iMac 21" as a 2nd screen

Can you connect via thunderbolt a mac book air 13" (2013) and a imac 21" (2013) together, using the iMac 21" as a 2nd screen

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. As both have Thunderbolt, it's as simple as buying a Thunderbolt cable, connect them and press Command and F2 keys on the iMac, so the iMac will be used as an external display for the MacBook Air. If you want more information, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
