Can't disable wireless encryption

Hi, my trial period has ended but the wireless encryption is still enabled and I can't turn it off. I tried to uninstall the program but I was cautioned that the encryption was still enabled and I would be unable to add devices to the network. How do I turn the wireless encrytion off after the trial period has ended. I need to connect anoth printer and computer to my network. Thanks.

Access the routers home page from any browser.

How can I disable wireless admin privileges to the router ?

I am using an Airport Utility for Windows for Airport Extreme. For the sake of better security, how can I disable wireless admin privileges to the router so that the router can only be configured via hardwire connection?

For the sake of better security, how can I disable wireless admin privileges to the router so that the router can only be configured via hardwire connection?
Sorry, but this is not possible.
If you want to limit access to administration of the router, you should change the Base Station password, and only give out that password to those individuals that you want to have access to the administration settings of the router.
The forums have been having problems displaying screenshots, but we will attach one below in the hopes that the problems may be fixed.
Important Note.......even with this, "security" on the AirPort routers is an illusion.......since a one second press on the reset button will give any user 5 minutes of free access to go in and change any settings that they want.
So, you might want to keep any eye on things.

WRT54GL: when I disable wireless, I lost my connections

Hi,
I use WRT54GL and often I disable wireless connection (when I don't use notebook) (in basic wireless mode, I set disable). In that moment, my desktop's connection are losts and resume after some moments.
It's normal?
Thanks in advance

Not with Linksys firmware. With 3rd party firmware there is the option where you can enable/disable wireless by pressing the Cisco button on the front.

Thanks. Can we confirm about the router reset procedure. I have 9100EM15-10 Model router. How can I log in to disable the wireless port on my router. I tried calling Verizon tech support but they were difficult to reach or get in last night.

HT1212 if my iphone is disable can i still take encrypt back up and i remenber the password i can restore it

if my iphone is disable can i still take encrypt back up and if i remenber the password i can restore it

First, you have to un-disabled it: iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong ...
Then, you can restore from a backup, but if the passcode was part of the encrypted backup, the same passcode will go right back on the device.

How can I disable the Wireless Keypad?

The touchscreen tablet chirps all day about a "Communications Failure" with the wireless keypad. The tablet itself and our iPhones are all we use to arm/disarm the system. Plus, the wireless kepad goes through batteries like nuts. How can we either disable the keypad, or disable the notifications?

I think you can remove the wireless keypad with the touchscreen. Go to settings, enter the installer code, find the keypad and remove it. If it burns through battery's it probably is too far away from the touch screen with not enough other devices in between. If you would place some other zigbee devices in between the keypad wouldn't need to increase it's radio signal to communicate.

Airport Utility Disables Wireless Connection - No Connectivity Error

In setting up an AX to stream iTunes to my stereo over my existing wireless network (Netgear access point), it appears that the Airport Utility has somehow disabled wireless access for my laptop, as I now get a "limited or no connectivity" error message and cannot connect to the internet.
Airport Utility detected the AX, I set a password for it, directed it to join my wireless network, selected WPA2 encryption and entered the 26-character key to the network. AU then said the AX couldn't join the network, and wireless connectivity for the whole PC disappeared and I haven't been able to get it back.
It appears that Airport Utility somehow altered some of the network settings on my PC but I can't figure out what. I spent hours trying to figure this out last night and am at a loss. Help!

Welcome to the discussion area, mrdowntown!
When you are setting up the AirPort Express, you are using a default network provided by the Express with a name like +Apple Network xxxxxx+. You need to be on this network to be able to configure the device. Your computer was on this network.
Chances are, your PC may still be trying to access that network, and not the network that you normally use. See if that might be the case.
WPA2 Security would be used on the AirPort Express if that is exactly the setting the Netgear router is using. If the Netgear is using WPA type encryption, try the WPA/WPA Personal setting on the AirPort Express.
Unless the security settings match up exactly, the Express will not be able to join the Netgear wireless network correctly. See if you can find the settings page for the Netgear to see exactly what type of security it is using.
You'll need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to flash more quickly. Then try to reconfigure the Express. Unfortunately, if you don't have the right settings entered on the Express, you'll have to start all over again.

Wireless Encryption Password

I went to the router page that lists my Wireless and then Wireless Security information and I still can't find the encryption 'key'. All I see is "disabled" in the security mode. I am trying to set up a Crane Wifi radio and need the ESSID. I see nothing on the bottom of my router as information. I have no idea where to find this information. Also, when a friend was here recently, he could not get into the wifi due to my security. He said I needed to jot down the password or key so people can get in. Anyone out there that can help me with this? Thanks.

Since I didn't get any responses when I got up this a.m., I went to the Linksys on-line chat for support. 2-hours later...turns out that you are right, I did not have any security, however I did have something that kept bumping everyone out that wanted in (friends visiting). When they had me create the key, the radio got in right away. The only problem is that this created a different problem with my dell laptop which the linksys tech person thought was the basis for the problem. Even though we set up the security with a key, and I logged in properly the 1st time with the laptop, when I 'shut down' and rebooted the laptop didn't recognize anything. So, there is this lengthy process to get the laptop to recognize the network connections. I'm not happy about having to do that everytime I boot up the laptop, but my husband is happy the radio is connected to the router for the internet. So this is problem #1. Problem #2 is that he says the radio comes in and out which the radio brochure says is a bad internet connection probably via the router. So, now I don't know whether the router is bad or my comcast cable isn't working properly.
More information than you wanted, right?! Any thought? Paula

Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.

Hi!
Didn't know exactly where to direct this question in the Apple Community so I chose Airport. To everyone, thanks in advance.
I’m really desperate. I’m a big Apple fan. I have two Apple MacBook Pro laptops with Mountain Lion software. I also have an Apple Airport Extreme. My HP Photosmart C4780 printer was also purchased from Apple. Anyway, my Internet service is AT&T. AT&T just upgraded my service with a new modem/router (AT&T U-Verse). Prior to the conversion, my wireless printer connection was working perfectly.
Now can’t print wirelessly. For your information, everything is connected via Wi-Fi. The AT&T technician stated that I no longer needed my Apple Airport Extreme, so it was removed. Naturally, after the tech leaves, we find out the HP printer wirelessly no longer works. Thinking that removing Airport Extreme may have been the problem, I reconnected it to the AT&T modem/router, however no change.
This appears to be an HP printer problem. I went to HP community support with the information below but I have received no solutions outside of buying a new printer.
“Ran the HP wireless network test report and it states that HP printer can’t find wireless router and to verify that the HP printer network name (SSID) matches the wireless router network name (SSID) exactly. The Diagnostic Summary in brief: Wireless On & Working & Security – Pass; Network Name (SSID) Found – Fail. Nothing else under diagnostic summary ran. Under Configuration Summary: It shows old SSID name and Mac Hardware Address but no IP Address.
Next ran the Network Configuration Page and everything is enabled except the 802.11 Wireless. It shows status – disconnected. Under general information it states the following: Network status - Offline; Active Connection Type - None; URL(s) for Embedded Web Server – http://0.0.0.0.”
To be straightforward, I’m no computer tech so I don’t know what this means or where to find. The AT&T tech provided me the new SSID Name and a wireless key number but that’s it. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled via USB. The HP message states can’t find router. At this point, I’ve tried everything to reconfigure without success. If I need to make these changes via Airport Extreme Utility 6.0 not easy to find not that I know what I’m doing.
Most importantly if I ever get wireless working again, do I still need Airport Extreme connection or is the AT&T U-Verse modem/router sufficient?
Any direction or help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for listening.

Thank you for your prompt response. I'll be honest I'm a retiree and a newbie to all of this stuff. I don't even know how to do a thread. (Embarassing) This is my first ever contact with the Apple Community so I'm slowly trying to figure this out as well.
As to your thread request, I'm assuming you want to read my post with HP. Not knowing how to thread, I've copied it below.

Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
I finally figured it out! (Sorry that I'm replying to my own posts btw, but I want to post the solution for anybody else with the SigmaplusEOL1 problem). If you have the SigmaplusEOL1 as your SSID when you print the "Wireless Network Test Report", you do NOT need to return it (I know that's hassle for people). To fix the problem, follow these steps.
1) Unplug your printer.
2) Go to your router's IP address (like 192.168.1.1 or whatever it is for your router).
3) Change the SSID of your wirelss network to "SigmaplusEOL1".
4) For the Security option for your wireless network select none (so that a password is not required to access your wireless network).
5) Power your printer back on and reprint "Wireless Network Test Repor". It should say "No problem found..."
6) The report should also have a the IP Address of the printer (under Configuration Summary at the bottom). Type that IP Address in your browser to get to the printer's settings page.
7) Click the "Network" Tab at the top.
8) Under the "Connections" header in the left pane, click "Wireless (802.11).
9) Click "Start Wizard" at the bottom right.
10) In the wizard, change the SSID and encryption (wep or wpsk) password to whatever you want your wireless network to be. So probably whatever it started out as before you changed the SSID to SigmaplusEOL1
11) Click "Finish" at the end. The page will probably try to keep loading but it won't because you changed the network settings of the printer. Just ignore that
12) Go back to your router's IP address and change the SSID and encryption password to whatever you changed the printer's SSID and password to.
13). Reprint the Wireless Network Test Report. It should say the SSID is the same as your wireless, and everything is good.
That's it. You should be good to go now.
Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Thank you for your prompt response. This has been a totally frustrating experience. I’ve spent at least 8 hours trying to fix this. My HP problems and your initial steps were identical to mine. I am by no means a tech person and my computer tech knowledge is minimal. However I followed your steps to the best of my ability.
I did get the SigmaplusEOL1 message. I was able to get to Step 6 where the wireless network test report now reads – “HP printer settings do not match your wireless router settings.” So I guess this is a step in the right direction. However unfortunately the Configuration summary message for the IP Address reads – “Not Applicable”. (Note: changing SigmaplusEOL1 to network name knocked out my Internet access. Had to switch back to regular network name to regain access.)
I’m at a loss as to what to do next.   Without the IP Address is it possible to move forward? As I stated earlier, I’m not a tech person. As to your steps 7, 8 and 9, I can’t find them on my computer or maybe I’m looking in the wrong places. In System Preferences - Network, I have none of these steps. If you’re referring to Airport Utility, with the changes in Mountain Lion, these steps are no longer there. If you’re talking about Safari, Firefox or HP, now I’m really lost.
Finally, I don’t know if you can answer this or not. If I ever get wireless working, do I still need Airport Extreme or is the AT&T U-Verse modem/router sufficient?
Again thank you for your time and patience.
Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Unfortunately I am unable to offer any further advice as I only followed the instructions listed on the other page.
Finally, as to having WEP enabled, I don't know. Don't even know where to look. The best that I could determine is that my security is WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I'm truly sorry about all of this. Thank you for your time and patience. After reading all of this and you change your mind, I would understand.

Is there any way I can get a wireless N router?

Okay so I have the old 25/25 connection and with the current modem/router from verizon I got bout 12 down and like 5 up.
I switched to a 3rd party router a long time ago but I wish to use a verizon modem/router that has a wireless N router
since the verizon router can block internet access because I wish to leave my connection open from now on its not open
yet but I wish to do it but I can't do with this router because I don't know how to block people that's why I have it locked still
and my current NETGEAR WNR2000(I get 25/25 wireless or closer like 23/25). I know its the wireless B+G that was
making my connection slow because I had switched between like 5 verizon routers from them and none difference
because they all were B+G but when I purchased my NETGEAR WNR2000 with B+G+N I got full speed because of the N
technology. So is there any way of asking them if I can get a wireless N router mostly for free?

I just purchased the N router and I'm not really happy with it.
The range is pathetic and there is no dual band. Just a heads up. I'm wishing I would have purchased an access point and just bridged them together for the wireless.
I assume you are referring to the Actiontec Rev I router.
I am not really concerned about range with the Rev. I router, but it seems to work fine for me at around 70 feet, at the other end of my house.
Yes it is not dual band, but then again, nothing I have seen would make anybody believe that it was dual band. And dual band routers are typically more expensive, and I am sure you know that Verizon is never going to be the cheapest option for purchasing any hardware.
To the Rev. I router performance: I have 25/25 service and I typically get 30/24 performance wireless. For example, I just did the following test wireless to speedtest.net:
Close enough for me.
I get basically the same speeds when I use the laptop wired.
I don't know about how your router was configured when you received it, but mine was configured for WPA2 but for TKIP/AES encryption, which supports B/G/N speeds, and my N-capable laptop would only connect at G speeds, no matter what I did, and I was unhappy with wireless performance. Eventually I found a topic that talked about changing the encryption to AES only and bingo, my wireless speeds increased dramatically. So you might check to see if you are using AES only and if not changing to that so that you have the "N performance" option.
And one other thing: have you checked for wireless interference? I use inSSIDer (free) to see what other networks are operating around me, and I have found that using Channel 1 works best for me. But if you haven't checked I encourage you to do so, it can make a big difference if you happen to be using a congested channel.

Windows 7 and XP Disable wireless when connected to hot wired

Hello there,
We are facing IP address shortage due to redundant network connections from laptops because every laptop uses two IP address when connected to wireless network and hard wire. Does Windows 7 and XP natively has the options to disable wireless when a laptop
is connected to hard wired? I know the wireless can easily disabled by manual process but problem is user don't have the knowledge or don't bother to do that. So if there is a way to use GPO to configure this would be ideal -- no 3rd party solution please.
Any suggestion is most welcomed.
Thanks,
TL

There are no Fail proof ways for Win 7 or 8 to make sure that AT ALL times Wire is used over WIFI. The metric setting is ignored by MS. I know cause my metric for the wired is 10 and for the WiFi is 9999, but at all times the WiFi is used instead of the
Wired. This is by design as Microsoft being as inept as always did not properly design their operating system. This is a DESIGN DEFECT, which Microsoft will not admit to, despite the fact that it could be caused by no other method EXCEPT incompetent design,
ignored during quality assurance testing etc. The reason there are a million people looking for a fix for this design flaw is that there is NO fix available. MS will not fix it as they got your money and could care less. Being that they are among the most
evil and greedy companies currently in business is why it will never be fixed. I dare them to prove me wrong and fix the obvious design defect. I double dare all who read this to log in to the MS tech net and demand that they fix this DESIGN DEFECT.
Any developer qualified to design an OS should have no problem permanently fixing this and Microsoft has NO EXCUSE for not doing so with an update!!!!!! All they have to do in the code logic is ask the system if the device getting an IP etc is using a "radio"
then it asks all the other devices that are getting or have gotten an IP if it was gotten via a radio, If during any of these quires the answer is I DID NOT get my IP from a radio connection then that IP path gets priority and all the others, IE WiFi gets
disabled. Then if there is a change in the network, loss of connectivity for example, the process is repeated and when everything say's it got its IP from a radio then the WiFi takes over. So in a nut shell every connection is looked at to see if it is from
a radio based device or a hardwired based device, NOT using metrics since that apparently can not be counted on, the prof is in the 500+ PCs I just setup, ALL OF WHICH GIVE A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER METRIC TO THE WIRED, but still choose the WIFi. The order of
the connection establishment should not matter since the test is performed on every connection and as soon as one is found that is not radio based, it is left on and all others are turned off. Common sense really. This is NOT ROCKET science! Just good common
sense programing.
So I challenge everyone who reads this comment to add a demand for MS to fix the DESIGN DEFECT once and for all.
That's all I have to say. If there is a script as some of the suggestions here mention that can do it, if there is a single 3rd party product out there that can do it, then there is NO EXCUSE for MS not to provide a PERMANENT OFFICIAL MICROSOFT CERTIFIED
FREE fix for this DEFECT. And yes it can only be classified as a DESIGN DEFECT as common sense say's you would AT NO time under normal operations EVER want the MUCH slower WiFi, 100 mbps compared to 1000 mbps for wired to be in charge. EVER! Even if
the wired nic is only 100 mbps, some cheep junk laptops have the indecency to come with a 100 mbps nic instead of a Gigabit, the Wired is still better 99.99999% of the time.
And one last thing this IS THE ONLY REAL ACCEPTABLE ANSWER to the original question, and all the others just like it who EXPECT, with GOOD REASON, that COMMON SENSE, would be in charge NOT ignorance and defective designs, and that AT ALL TIME WIRED RULES
OVER WIFI.
Hope this helps, it is time to insist that MS do their job AND FIX THE DESIGN DEFECT!!!!!!!!!
Ralph
PS Not all systems have switches on the outside for disabling the WiFi. My HPs don't and trying to train all the users on how to MANUALLY disable it and when to do so etc is like trying heard flock of sparrows, it's not happening, NOR SHOULD IT NEED TO!

BTW, they ask for the impossible, as anyone can plug in a USB FiFi
adapter - or tether their Blackberry - or ... so hopefflly they will not
be overly picky.
Sort of... there isn't a hardware category for wireless NICs. However
most of the descriptions include the word "wireless" so you can create a
custom report as follows:
Reports-->Inventory Custom Reports-->Hardware Components-->New
Then enter a Name for the report, select Type = Hardware Components,
selecy Focus = LAN Adapter. Hit Continue.
In the Criteria section [+] add a criteria
[Product Name] [contains] wireless
To be more specific, take a look at the descriptions returned without
any critera, and add any oddballs using OR grouping, so if a specific
model or the word "WiFi" appears - whatwever - you can catch it.
Finally select the report columns as needed.
Run.
We notice that on machines where the WLAN can be disabled, the MAC
address is absent ( because at the time of the inventory, there is no
wireless NIC active, but the enumeration of HW show one. ) However, you
will still "know" there is a wireless NIC.
Report looks like:
Atheros Communications Wireless LAN Adapter AR5212 802.11abg FOOUSER
F00F00F00482 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 1
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 3945ABG FOO2USER F00F00F00D6C
192.168.1.41 255.255.255.0 1
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 3945ABG ANOTHERFOO ( no MAC )
( Works, but I would certainly vote for a more easily to get at
category, same for broadband interfaces. )
