Cannot connect Mac ibook to WRT54G router

I have a WRT54G router connected to my desktop. My Dell laptop connects without any problems. Now I am also trying to connect a Mac ibook to the same router. The Airport reads the connection, but it does not accept any passwords. The dropdown of connection options includes Personal WPA, Personal WPA2, Enterprise WPA, and others, but none of them accept my password. I have read some threads about downgrading, but I am concerned that if I make changes to adapt for the Mac, I might lose my Dell connectivity.

Use Firefox or Internet Explorer. Open http://192.168.1.1/ (if you have not changed the LAN IP address of the WRT54G), enter your password (default "admin" ) and you should see the web interface of the router. Click on Wireless. Post the current settings you have there. Then click on Wireless Security and also post the current settings you find there. That will tell us how you have set up the wireless on the router and then we'll see how you correctly set up the iBook for this.

  • Cannot connect IBM Thinkpad to Linksys Router Wirelessly

    I recently moved in with a friend, and my IBM Thinkpad T42, with Windows XP, cannot connect to her Linksys WRT120N router wirelessly. I am able to connect to the internet using an Ethernet cable, and I am able to connect to other public wireless networks.
    I have been told by Cisco helpdesk people that it is because Windows XP does not support WPA2 security, and/or that because they don't know much about IBM computers, I should get rid of the third party internet connection software, IBM Access Connections, that came with my computer.
    I have been having this problem for a week, and I did not even know I had IBM Access Connections until today, so I don't think that's the problem. Also, my friend has been using that application successfully on her computer, Thinkpad T61, Windows XP, to connect to this router, which she has been using for 2 years. So with two almost identical computers, does anybody know why my wireless connection isn't working?

    Answer these questions, I may be able to give you the right solution to your issue: 
    1. Go to your Network Connections folder on your wired computer and check which one is connected:
    a. Local Area Connection
    b. Broadband Connection
    c. 1394 Connection
    2. What is the IP address of your computer?
    3. Who is your internet service provider?
    4. What is the error message when you connect the wireless computer to the network?

  • HT4059 When I go yo purchase a book, I pad says cannot connect to iBook store

    When I go to purchase a book, iPad says cannot connect with iBook store.

    Thanks for responding turingtest2 - I finally worked it out (no thanks to Apple!) - I am in South Africa at the moment and availability of content here is very limited (it seems) according to the bloggers - when I looked there is a tiny faint grey note at the bottom of http://www.apple.com/za/itunes/download ...
    it seems to pick up South Africa and the UK - in fact I have set up an alternative UK apple ID so I suppose it sees my ipad, checks my "accounts" and constructs the note accordingly?  Weird. 
    It would have been REALLY helpful to have a clear indication of content availability when setting up the South African account.  I have found the several places where the experts explain how to work around this problem with fake US addresses and voucher payments.  I don't want to do that. 
    I have to say that my limited experience with iTunes and Apple over three years (previously on PC/Windows) is way below what I would expect from Apple inc ... this incident must have wasted four hours of my life ...

  • Connecting mac ibook to home network

    My Windows 7 laptop is working with my Cisco router.  REPEATEDLY trying to connect a mac ibook, but it asks for password.  I enter the one that is given for windows computers, but it won't work with the mac.  I can only connect if I run wire from router to the mac.

    Can you please try to put a dollar sign before the password? That works most of the time.

  • Mac Pro Cannot Connect to Netopia Cayman 3346 Router

    I have 2 Macs and 2 Windows Machine at home all connected via an ethernet usb hub to a Cayman 3346 Netopia router. None of the Macs or PCs have any trouble connecting to the internet. However, I just got a new Mac Pro and anytime I start up the machine with ethernet plugged in it just hangs. If I start up without ethernet plugged in it starts up fine (it is connecting via DHCP though I have tried it with a fixed IP address, as well - same results). If I then plug in ethernet after the startup, I am able to connect briefly to the internet but then any network action causes the Mac to hang. I'm using 10.4.8. Does anyone else have this happening or any ideas on how to fix this. I have taken the Mac Pro to my office and connected via ethernet with no issues so it does appear it has soemthign to do with my router and the Mac Pro specifically. Grateful for any help.

    Is your system looking for a server on startup?
    Do you have IPv6 off/manual/automatic? I'd turn it off.
    There use to be a problem with not having the primary and secondary domain name servers (which your router picks up) needing to be manually entered in the Network control panel.

  • Connecting NH1005 Hub to WRT54g Router

    Hello, I am trying to add a hub to my existing (working) router setup. The basic setup will be like:
    cable modem -> Router Internet port  -> Router LAN Port 1 -> HUB UPlink port -> HUB Port 1 ->Computer 1
                                                                                                                       -> HUB Port 2 ->Computer2
                                                          -> Router LAN Port 2 -> VOIP Router -> Phone
                                                          -> Router LAN port 3 -> Computer 3
    Computer 1 is in another part of the house from the physical router location and has been working fine with no hub involved via a long ethernet cable run. I now want to add computer 2 to the same room as computer one by adding the hub. This room is on the other side of the house and I didn't want to add another long run of ethernet cable just to hook it up - which is why I borrowed the hub.
    Router is WRT54G V2, running tomato firmware
    Hub is NH1005 v2.0
    VOIP router is RTP300
    It all works fine without the hub but when I add the hun computer 1 and 2 have "limited connectivity". Running windows Xp and windows 7 on the boxes.
    Is there some router settings or netowrk cards settings I need to change? Thanks
    Mike

    You do not have to adjust any settings on your router as your Network is functional...
    It seems to be the Hub, power down the hub, connect the Router LAN Port 1 -> HUB Port #1, Connect both the computer's to the HUB on Port #2 and Port #3, Connect the Poer Cable to the HUB, see if both computer's can access the Internet...

  • IPod Touch cannot connect to my Wi-Fi router.

    I have a 16GB iPod Touch that I got about two months ago. I upgraded it to 2.0, and everything has been going smoothly. Suddenly, my internet just stopped working (Not because of the 2.0 version upgrade). I am using a Netgear router. I was able to go on the internet before fine, but ever since I reseted my iPod I am no longer able to go on the internet. I have looked around and have done many ways of getting it to work again: I've updated my router's firmware, reseted my iPod numerous times, forgetted my network and reconnected, restarted my router, etc, but it did nothing. When I was able to go online on my iPod, in the Wi-Fi settings, a check mark was there, and the little lock symbol disappeared once I inputted my password. However, even with putting in my password, the lock symbol is still there as well as the check mark. I am able to go online in Wi-Fi hotspots such as Starbucks and Coffee Bean.

    Hi,
    The lock symbol stays there even when connected, it does on mine at least.
    It does sound like you have tried most things. Have you tried turning off the security on the router temporarily and then seeing if it will connect, just to see if the security is the problem? Try WPA instead of WEP or vice versa. You could also try changing the broadcast channel, sometimes other routers nearby can use the same channel and cause interference.
    Thats all I can think of at the moment.
    Good luck,
    Dud.

  • Connected to Acess Point but cannot connect to the Internet - WRT54G

    Yes, regrettably I know this is a common problem, but I've spent hours researching adn chatting with Linksys and trying different things, and I can't get anywhere. I have no problems getting on the Internet at the "base computer". Said base computer is on Windows XP. The computer that I am trying to connect to wirelessly is on Windows 2000. As my title suggests, it detects the router, but can't connect to the Internet. I'm using a WUSB54GC there.  Ok, on the Base computer, I have disabled the firewall. My IP config reads as follows: 
    Ethernet Adapter LAN Connection:    
     IP Address  192.168.1.100  
     Subnet Mask  255.255.255.0  
     Default Gway  192.168.1.1 
    PPP Adapter (for my ISP)   
    IP Address  213.178.113.182 
      Subnet      255.255.255.255 
      Default Gway   213.178.113.182
     TCP/IP from control panel, LAN Settings (Static)    
            Exactly as above on the Ethernet Adapter
    DNS Server Addresses     
            Preferred            192.168.1.100     
           Alternate                      4.2.2.2
    However, when I go into Internet Options/Tools/Connections/LAN Settings, the “Automatically detect settings” box is checked off. Is this a problem? Proxy server is not checked. ISP settings have nothing checked off except our username and password
     COMPUTER TRYING TO ACCESS NETWORK (running on Windows 2000)    
            IP Config Readings for the Ethernet Adapter:       
                     IP Address 0.0.0.0  
                          Subnet       0.0.0.0
    (this is strange because earlier I was obtaining digits)    
         TCP/IP, LAN Connection, Static                  
                   IP             192.168.1.10      
                   Sub       255.255.255.0    
                     Default            192.168.1.1       
                    Preferred          192.168.1.1    
                    Alt                     4.2.2.2 Any hints? Thanks very much

    Disconnect the PPP Adapter from Network Connections...
    You should do the steps mentioned earlier, in addition you should remove all static ip addresses entered and then check the IP Address obtained automatically from your router, if you get a valid ip address you should try to ping 4.2.2.2, type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, see if you get 4 replies from 4.2.2.2...
    Then type ping yahoo.com and see if it gives you 4 replies...If you get replies from all pings you should be able to go online...
    You should adjust your browser settings if you get replies and there is no internet...
    Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...

  • Lack of connectivity to iBooks?

    I downloaded Maverick and with it came iBooks. When I click on the icon the iBooks Page opens and when I click on iBooks Store i get the message Cannot connect to iBooks Store. I have connectivity to iTunes and everything else on the internet with full wireless service but cannot connect to the iBooks store. Anyone else have this problem?

    Hi BAMacK,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try these steps if your computer can't connect to the iBookstore:
    Troubleshoot issues on a Mac
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store, a software conflict or your Internet service provider (ISP) may be blocking your access.
    Update iTunes and Safari to the latest version.
    If you have a firewall, your settings may be preventing you from connecting to the iTunes Store. Follow these steps to configure your firewall.
    You may need to reset your keychain. Connection issues are occasionally caused by keychain issues. Learn how to use Keychain First Aid to resolve any issues with your keychain.
    If you're receiving a specific error message, follow these steps.
    If the issue still persists, contact your Internet service provider and confirm that these ports and servers are enabled over your network.

  • Cannot connect to webmail, or popmail

    This problem began about 2/11/15. I didn't notice it right away because access from work is working fine. Access from home is the problem.
    We have had the same setup, FIOS, modem/router/coputers for at keast 2 years. No changes have been made. I still use eudora on my computer, my wife uses incredimail on hers. Both of us have the same exact problem.
    From the email client all attempts to rec or send mail return a "cannot connect to server" response.
    I can access the verizon web site with firefox, scroll to the bottom and select check mail, and the page times out. Entering the address webmail.verizon.net also times out with a page saying auth.verizon.net has timed out.
    On any and all verizon web pages that have any kind of sign in button, I cannot get it to work. It usually comes up with a blank box, or nothing at all.
    I have tried firefox and iexplorer.
    On Sunday, a Verizon tech spent about an hour on my computer, installed chrome with the same result, reset the router and the fios box on the outside of the house. He tried pings to webmail.verizon.net and they timed out. He finally said it must be on their end. This morning I contacted them from work because it still wasn't working at home. They wanted to run me through all of the same steps the first tech did on Sunday.
    I have tried using an alternate DNS with no luck.
    *Everything* else works. My non Verizon email works, all web sites work including secure sites. If anyone has a clue please advise. I don't know what else to do except spend another hour with the Verizon guys and feel we are getting no where.
    Thank you

    I read your post when I got home last night but could not reply. When I click the reply button the page timed out with the message:
    The connection has timed out
    The server at signin.verizon.com is taking too long to respond.
    To answer your question, yes. I cannot access my account or anything requiring a "sign in" on the Verizon site. When I go to verizon.net and click the sign in button at the upper right, a blank box, about 3 inches drops down with a dotted outline and completely blank inside.
    I also did a trace to pop.verizon.net and will post the results. I am not that savey with this stuff so I'm not sure what it means but I believe it shows I cannot connect to it.

    I dusted off a laptop I haven't used in 5 months, fired it up and immediately went to the verizon site and the sign in timed out. Email also did not work. My home computers use Win 7 Pro, but the laptop is Win XP sp3.
    It has been almost a week now that we have not had email service at home and no one at verizon takes this seriously, only wanting to get on my computer, which I did cooperate with, and they found nothing wrong. But there the support stops. I've been a Verizon DSL/Fios customer probably 15 years, but there are alternative services available that work. This is getting frustrating.
    Thank you.

  • Linksys WAG54GS Router - iBook G4 Cannot Connect When Encryption Enabled

    Hi - I have a HP laptop and Apple iBook G4 with a wireless connection transmitted through a Linksys Wireless router. When encryption is disabled, the iBook can pick up a signal and I can browse the internet, when WEP encryption is enabled, it cannot. The HP works fine. I add the WEP key to the iBook but it cannot connect. I've tried the two 128bit encryption options and the standard option, but none of them allow a connection. Is there a specific way to secure your internet connection/router when using an Apple? Any ideas/comments appreciated.

    Flames1977, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Hopefully the information in KB 106250, Mac OS X, AirPort: Connecting to Third-Party Base Stations will help.
    Also if the Linksys has several locations for keys, make sure that your WEP key is in location #1. Apple does not support any other location.
