Cannot connect OSX 10.4 Tiger to wifi WEP personal

I have two old G3's or G4's that can only run OSX 10.4 Tiger. They connect to unsecured routers just fine.
But the problem is they cannot connect to my Q1000 Centurylink wifi router when i put a password on it. I have tried WEP and WPA-personal and used AES and TKIP configurations, but they tell me they are unable to connect. I know there are few of these around but it seems odd that i cannot find this issue on the internet with a Google search.
Can you think of any work around?
A different forum that is more relevant?

Hi, on WEP try Putting a $ in front of the password...
$paswd
If 5 chrs.
Or...
nstead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. Before I went through network diagnostics and all of that stuff in system preferences, and then I tried the "Join Other Network" method, and now it works like a dream.
On WPA personal, the original Airport cards neede a Firmware update to do that, & they cant do WPA2.

    When I press the iTunes button on my ipod touch I get the message 'cannot connect to iTunes store' .  My wifi is working fine, I can connect to safari & you tube, no parental setting in place, and time and date are correct. Can anyone help please? I have restored my ipod to factory settings and rest it.

    I also tried moving the date forward by a year and then moving it back to normal and it still doesn't work.  i can't find an automatic update of time zones on my itouch to turn this off.

    - Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    Do other devices successfully connect to the network?
    Does the iPod successfully connect to other networks?

  • Installed lion on iMac. Now our three iPhones and iPod can browse app store. But when we try to install we get an error that says cannot connect to iTunes. Same on wifi and AT

    I updated my iMac to lion and set up iCloud and icloud email so I could use pages app on my 4s as well as my Mac to work on documents.I was only able to log into my new iCloud mail account once. And never again. Even with security questions.  Purchased pages for Mac and 4s. After I set  up I cloud/ work everything went crazy. My apple Id quit working. My security questions would not accept my answers. So I set up a new apple account. The system allowed me to set it up using the same i.d.since then I have updated everything. The systems on a 4s, two 3gs's and an iPod touch I can browse the app store and iTunes but when I try to download or update anything it accepts my password and then says " Cannot connect to store" this happens all the time on the 3gs's and iPod and about 90 percent of the time on the 4s. It happens using wifi and or 3G data network. Also my Mac and the 3gs's are now super sluggish.

  • Dreaded "cannot connect to youtube" but only over WiFi.  Twitterific bad to

    Okay, so here's the deal... for some reason on my home WiFi, my iPhone (and my wife's) suddenly isn't working right.
    I get the "cannot connect to YouTube" error in the YouTube app. I get a "Twitter API Error - the connection to Twitter failed with 'can't find host'" error in Twitterific. Scrabble won't let me connect to Facebook. I can only assume there are other problems as well.
    Here's the deal - it's only happening while connected to WiFi. I turn it off and use 3G, and it all works fine. Thing is, I want to use my WiFi connection. Any thoughts on why this suddenly started happening? Worked fine yesterday. I've reset both my DSL modem and my wireless router to no avail. Nothing has changed since then.
    (My DSL is through Embarq)
    Any thoughts?

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention that most everything else is working fine on it. My email is coming through, and regular Safari stuff is working.

  • Safari Cannot Connect with Server (mountain lion) on wifi

    I Posted this under Mountain Lion as Safari had no connectivity issues for me when I got my mbp and it had lion installed and ran beautifully-
    NOW my apple (s) run fine on mountain lion
    for a little bit,
    and then I get "Safari Cannot Connect to Server"
    Now during this frequent occurance the  APP store hangs and hangs as well.
    This is most annoying-
    The only way to use my apple products after this happens is to restart them
    and then they work until they go into sleep mode,
    sometimes they screw up before that and then
    "Safari Cannot Connect to Server"
    my Airport utility shows that it is scanning for  networks-
    When I was right in the middle of buying something from amazon-- I had to go to my decrepit old windows xp connected up only for cox email to complete the transaction-
    This is not acceptable. Since it occurs on both of my apple computers and only started when I installed mountain lion.
    This has continually gotten worse to the point I must restart my laptop continually-
    Apple better get the lead out of their butts and fix this glaring fault- or should I install another web browser?
    which I am disinclined to do-
    I spent a fortune on these apple products and I expect them to work properly- I went to apple because I was so sick of microsoft and its endless headaches and updates and freezes lol--
    kind of funny if you think about it.

    Hi BSU1960, 
    I found the solution to my problem on a different forum.  Turns out for some reason the anti-virus software that I run was interferring with my browsers' connecting to the internet.  Once I disabled the web protion of the anti-virus my problem went away.
    I have a question to Kaspersky Security, hopefully will find out what was the root cause.

  • My iPod froze and I reset it to the factory setting and now I cannot connect to the intranet and the WiFi button is blank

    My Ipod froze and a power symbol came on the screen and I couldn't get out if it.  I then connected my Ipod to my MacBook and reset the Ipad to the factory settng.  Now I can't connect to the intranet as the WiFi icon in the settings screen appears washed out and does not allow me to access my WiFi.
    Any suggestions.

    DIM/GRAY
    See:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • AMD CPU with Vista cannot connect to WLAN using MS-PEAP with WEP-128

    We have a notebook "HP Pavilion tx1000 (AMD Turion64 CPU with Vista 32bits)". The notebook is using Broadcom 802.11a/b/g chipset, running AMD and Vista. It cannot associate to WLAN using MS-PEAP and WEP-128. Also, it cannot associate to PEAP and WPA2-AES.
    The AP's log shows:
    Oct 11 15:35:20 CCT: %DOT11-7-AUTH_FAILED: Station xxxx.xxx.xxxx Authentication failed
    The ACS's log shows:
    "EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication failed during SSL handshake"
    We do not validate the certificate in the wireless setup. Vista's WLAN AutoConfig is used to configure the wireless profile. We are running Autonomous AP with Switch-Based WDS (WLSM).
    We have no issue with Intel Centrino on the above authentication and encryption scheme.
    Have checked the CCX program, broadcom 802.11a/b/g chipset is supported only for windows 2000 and xp. There is no mentioning about support for vista. Could this be a compatibility issue?
    Please advise and thks

  • Cannot connect to youtube on my home wifi

    I have no trouble connecting on other WiFi networks and on 3g.  In fact if I am watcvhing a video on 3g and then connect to the home WiFi, it will continue playing.  I cannot find any security or firewall settings that could be blocking it and it is very frustrating.....My ISP just swapped out my wireless router and I have tried all of the varous encryption protocols (WEP, WPA. WPA2, etc) and that has not fixed it.  It is a Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl router.  Any help would be gratly appreciated.

    Contact your ISP. There's some setting on that new router that is blocking YouTube. I'm not familiar with that router so I can't offer instructions for removing the block.

  • Cannot connect 8610 via ethernet, fine on wifi.

    I cannot get the printer to respond using a hard wired ethernet connection. The lights on the printer indicate connection and data. The screen shows connection with the router and shows the IP address. I have run through all the re-installation procedures and IP address suggestions.  It works fine via wifi.

    Hi @polar3,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you are not able to connect your HP Officejet 8610 to your Mac running the Mac 10.7 Operating system using an Ethernet connection.
    1. Do you get any error messages when you try to add the printer?
    2. How many 8610's do you see in the Print and Scan window?
    Let's go ahead and reset the printing system:
    Reset Printing System
    1. Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
    2. In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan  dialog box opens.
    3. Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
    4. Click OK to confirm the reset.
    5. Type the correct Name and Password.
    6. Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol..
    Now continue here: Installing Your HP Printer in Mac Lion Using a Wired or Wireless Network Connection
    Are you now able to see the Ethernet connection?
    I hope to hear from you soon.
    Thanks,

  • Cannot connect my Vizio dvd player through wifi

    OK, I am lost. For about a year, my Vizio DVD player was plugged into my Express via ethernet, and through the Express used as a network extender to my Extreme. I could access all the online content offered through the player with no issues. Then I took a trip and brought the Express with me because my hotel didn't have wifi, only hardline. When I got home, I reconnected the Express (don't get me started on how difficult it was to get THAT connection working again). When I plugged the DVD player in via ethernet, it would not connect to the network. When I check for clients using the Airport utility, it doesn't see the player, though it sees the Express the player is plugged into.
    My network is set for WPA2 access, no MAC filtering. I have tried every setting on the Extreme and the Express, changed ethernet cables, tried manually assigning an IP to teh player - no joy. Thoughts?

    wifi basically means broadband without wires...you can not get into iTunes on the iPhone unless you are in an area that has wifi signal, like mcdonalds....itunes on the phone uses this because it would take forever to download songs over Edge(which is used when not picking up a wifi signal)...if not in a wifi area you can only download songs from itunes on your computer and then sync it to the phone...
    iTunes on the computer is the only place you can get/make ringtones for the iPhone as well, even if you were picking up a wifi signal with the iphone

  • HT201250 cannot connect to my time capsule anymore wifi still works

    Time capsule wont connect for backups anymore worked great for years. The wifi still works, green light was on (not now since i've tried to troubleshoot by erasing the disk and resetting). Any help would be appreciated.

    PC and well every device other than Apple do not like the names that Apple tends to use.
    Reset the TC and redo the naming..
    Names for TC, wireless and hard disk .. should be short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
    It also helps if you lock the wireless channels.. and even set the 5ghz to a different name to 2.4ghz.
    There are only 3 non-overlapping channels on 2.4ghz.. 1, 6, 11, test each in turn and pick the best.
    WPA2 Personal security with 8-12 character passkey.. pure alphanumeric of course is a must.

  • Cannot connect to itunes/App store over Wifi

    Hi,
    My iphone 4 has stopped downloading anything from the App Store or itunes over wifi, it works fine on 3G. Nothing will download or install and just says loading or waiting. I can't sign into my itunes account over wifi either, it just says loading and nothing happens. When I turn wifi off and switch to 3G it works fine. All other wifi features work fine i.e. Safari, viewing apps etc. Has only started doing it this week!! Anybody know how to fix this?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem with my 3GS, but only realized after upgrading to OS4.1. Previously had no issue with WiFi. All aspects, safari, and all apps going out on internet
    I also notice when I connect the wifi on my phone, my apple TV and new iMac also lose connectivity (running 10.6.4). When I turn off wifi on phone, the computer and apple TV work fine
    Also see when wifi is on, 3G is disabled (strange, I don't think that happened with the older software)
    My provider is comcast.

  • My IPad 2 also will not connect to ITunes for  updates and purchased apps.  It shows Waiting for several minutes then says it cannot connect to ITunes.  All other wifi functions are working fine on it.

    I see this is happening to a lot of folks today.  Has anyone found a solution?

    It is not properly connected to the network.
    Make sure location is set correctly
    DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
    Try ethernet
    Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks
