Can't get PowerBook/airporte to connect to D-Linke DIR-625

We've set up a D-Link router in the apartment and everyone else (PC users) can connect fine but me. Mine is a Powerbook with Airport Card. It displays the router network. But when I choose it from the Airport pulldown menu and type in the password, I get a spinning beach ball, followed by a "cannot connect due to error" message. This particular D-Link model appears to use only WPA security (not WEP.) The D-Link setup has several WPA options (WPA, WPA2, WPA personal, etc.) but my Airport pulldown menu shows only one -- WPA. So I'm concerned that the issue may be in the security protocol. Anyone have suggestions with this. Have gone through all the Airport/Network settings to see if there are other options to try regarding security but don't see anyting.

Felix -- Yes. Well, it was bought summer 2004 with the airport card. So I don't if that's the "original" card you mean. also, I should have added: If it turn off all security, it connects to the DLink fine.
If it's the card, I assume I can run to my local apple store and buy a new one?
(Did I see some note, by the way, about SHORT network names -- SSID names? My son created the network name and it's kind of long. Perhaps I should shorten it. I notice that when I turn Airport ON, there is some delay before the Mac actually sees the network. )

  • I can't get my Airport Express model A1084 to connect to my Actiontec M1424WR modem/router.  Help?

    I can't get my Airport Express model A1084 to connect to my modem/router model Actiontec M1424WR. The Airport utility on my IMAC says it doesn't find any base stations.  Thelight on the Airport Express blinks amber only.   Any suggestions?

    The  8+ year old Express that you have will require a 5.x version of AirPort Utility to administer the product.
    Might you have an older Mac running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the computer?

  • How can I get the Airport Express to handle all the PPPoE stuff?

    Hi, I’m visiting my family in China, and now trying to help my dad, with his Airport Express and how to set up a PPPoE connection.
    We have currently set up the Airport Express in bridge mode (not distributing IP adresses and selecting DHCP under the Internet tab in admin utility). The Airport settings on our two computers is set up to connect using PPPoE using the given login name and password. (ps! we can not see the Base station in Airport Admin Utility when using these settings, we would have to select a new location from the Apple menu to see it and make condigurations.)
    What we want is to do, is to have the Airport Express connect to the ISP using a PPPoE connection and not through the computer.
    I know there is a 'Connect using PPPoE' option in Airport admin util, letting me input account name and password. If I select this setting instead of DHCP, enable distribution of IP addresses and configure my Airport card to NOT connect using PPPoE, I will see my base station in the Airport admin util with the IP address of 10.0.1.1 (or similar) and my computer will have x.x.x.2. Next to the Airport icon in the menubar, a scrolling message will say 'Looking for PPPoE host' without anything happen. I am sure my account name and password is correct as they've both worked when using this computer to connect to PPPoE (like now)
    How can I get the Airport Express to handle all the PPPoE stuff without using bridge mode?
    Ps! Both me and my dad have iPhones whom we can’t seem to get to connect unless its been distributed an IP address cause there's as fars as I know, no options of inputing a PPPoE user name and password.

    Any solutions to this? I'm in China also, in Beijing, trying to get my Airport Express to work with an ADSL modem.
    Direct ethernet cable connection to my Macbook works fine.
    When I configure the Airport Express with the ID and password that seems to be fine also – Airport Express shows a green light.
    But I cannot figure out the settings to connect wirelessly from my Macbook to the Airport Express. I get a constantly scolling message: "Looking for PPPoEhost..."
    thanks

    Basically the issue is about the iPhone 4's personal hotspot.

    The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
    Hope to get assistance here. Thanks

  • I get a message the message " Can not get mail. Not connected to server" Yet I am connected with Wi-fi and can access all other websites. Can you advise? My iPad is only a month old!

    Has any one experienced not being able to send mail and only receiving some? I get the message " can not get mail. No connection to the server! " Yet I get some mail but can not send out any. My iPad is only 1 month old! It worked perfectly for about 10 days.

    Hey agnesfromcopenhagen k,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail on your iPad. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps. What kind of account are you using? Some internet providers require that you be connected to your home Wi-Fi (or for work accounts, inside your corporate Wi-Fi/firewall). Also, some email accounts require two-step authentication. For more information, see this resource:

    Have you confirmed that the app supports AirPlay? If it doesn't, then you'll have to connect via screen mirroring. See:

    Just got an iPhone and can't get iTunes Match to connect. Keep getting a message that I'm not subscribed, but already did on my pc. Any ideas?

    You must be signed into the mobile iTunes Store using the same Apple ID you used to originally purchase iTunes Match. On the iOS device go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID. Log out, then log in with the correct ID.

  • Can't get bb curve to connect to computer, w/ new USB, downloaded desktop manager................anything I'm missing? Help! Thanks, Holly

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you can't answer the questions, then you leave us to pretty much guess at what could be wrong. Are you sure you don't know what PC OS you are running?
    Given what you are willing to do, there's not much that can be done here. You see, this is free to you, and voluntary by me (and the others who participate here). I get nothing helping you out here. This is not any part of your formal support. As such, there's nothing we can do beyond use the information you provide in order to guide us to what might be going on. But, so far, we have nothing from you at all.
    But, let me continue to try again...can you tell me the steps you attempt? And the results of each step? After all, you say you "can't get bb curve to connect to computer"...so, you must have tried something. What did you try? What happened with each step along the way of what you tried?
    If you can't participate in providing information, free support such as this will be pretty useless to you...fee-based support would be your next step, I'd think. If someone get's paid to help you, they might have tools available that the volunteers here don't have.

  • I have Direct TV with wireless, but a weak wifi signal downstairs. Can I get a Airport (what,kind) that will improve my signal for my Apple TV

    I have Direct TV with wireless, but a weak wifi signal downstairs. Can I get a Airport (what,kind) that will improve my signal so that my Apple TV will work?

    If you have an AirPort Extreme now, an AirPort Express could be added to your network to extend the range of the network.
    See the info about Extend an Existing Wireless Network.........http://www.apple.com/airport-express/
    Install the AirPort Express approximately half way between the AirPort Extreme and the point where the Apple TV will be located. The more that you can eliminate obstructions like walls, a ceiling or heavy furniture in the signal path between the AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express and Apple TV, the better the network will perform.

  • Can not get my MacPro to connect to iCloud

    I can not get my MacPro to connect to iCloud.  It tries periodically but returns the message "This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with [my account]@aim.com."  This aim.com address is one I have not used in years. I have tried to purge all references to this address in my system but must have missed some.  How do I correct this?

    Is it still functional ? iCloud sends a welcome mail to this adress. Look for it.

    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
