Cannot Connect to Wifi Network with rt61-based PCI Adapter

Hello,
I am having difficulty connecting to my network wirelessly. I get the following error when I try to connect through ArchAssistant:
Network profile 'myNetwork' failed to connect.
REASON:
- Wireless association failed. [FAIL]
I am using an rt61 based PCI adapter.
dmesg returns:
rt61pci 0000:02:08.0: firmware: requesting rt2561s.bin
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
iwconfig returns:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:""

lspci:

My wifi router uses WPA security and a hidden essid.
I have added the rt2561s.bin firmware to /lib/firmware/.
I was able to connect once when I added the below to the WPA Opts field:
PRE_UP='iwconfig wlan0 essid theswamp'
That command is still in the WPA Opts field, however I still cannot connect.
I am using ZMLarch 1.24.2-1 on Arch Linux 2.6.29.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Ideas? Anyone?

HP Officejet 6700 Premium cannot connect to wifi network

Since a few days, our HP Officejet 6700 Premium can no longer connect to wifi network. All our other devices as laptops, smartphones, tablets have no difficulty in connecting to the wifi. reconnecting and entering the WPA password doesn't help.
The printer says the SSID of our wifi network is not unique, it detects multiple access points.
What can I do to solve this issue.

Hello there @karatejan
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I read about the issues you're facing when trying to connect your Officejet 6700 printer to your network recently. I have three suggestions for you, and please let me know the results when you are done.
Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer, and run the set up again.
If you are running a Windows OS, from your PC, perform a Clean Boot, which will turn off the start up programs just in case there is something blocking the installation. Try the USB to wireless set up again.
Check your router settings to match these recommended settings:
1. Network name and password to have no spaces or punctuation.
2. If using WPA2 security, switch to WPA personal.
3. Dual broadcast Wireless b/g/n (printer may only connect to g).
4. Mac filter needs to be turned off.
5. Firewall settings need to be at there default settings, or set to a lower security.
6. Multicasting "on".
7. Following ports need to be un-blocked:
Incoming (UDP) ports : 137, 138, 161, 427
Outgoing (TCP) ports : 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500

With new OS6 I can't connect to wifi network with my iPhone

Ever since I upgraded to the new iOS6, my phone will no longer connect to my wifi networks. It only works on 3G. Tried to reset networks and various other things to no avail. Not happy ...

Hello,
I tried the Apple Support recommendation but nothing works, my Ipad mini still can't connect to wifi network, the wifi function in the setting menu it's not available.
I would like to send my device for technical support in USA. I'm live in Venezuela.
How can I do it?
Thank in advance

I have Trouble Connecting To WiFi Network with My Mac, while the rest of the technology connects to it perfectly...

I have used my Mac for almost a year now, and I've always had no problem connecting to WiFi, but today - suddenly I've lost the connection and now I can't see the WiFi Network in the list... I have 2 WiFi's connected together at home - TP Link and Netgear...
The internet still works on a PC which is connected through Ethernet, and the Mac itself works when it's connected through Ethernet... The first thought I had was the problem with WiFi settings, but my IPhone can connect to internet and work perfectly... So next thought was that it was a problem with my mac, but my dad has the same problem with his Mac (he also used this WiFi Network fine before)... So any thoughts?

Cannot connect to wifi network

I've seen other folks discussing issues with Wifi connectivity in Mavericks, but can't find a specific answer to my problem - hopefully somebody can chime in.
I recently purchased a (refurbished) 15" retina Macbook Pro, Mid-2012 model. It came with Mountain Lion installed, but I immediately updated to Mavericks. My home wifi is secured with WPA2 - Personal, and I was initially able to connect even after the Mavericks update. However, my wifi speeds were terribly slow, so I went and changed the router settings in the hopes of speeding things up (using a separate computer connected directly to the router).
As soon as I made the changes, my Macbook was unable to connect to the network. The name of my network still appeared in the list of available networks, but as soon as I selected it I recieved a message saying "Wifi network "(network name)" could not be joined." It would not even give me a prompt to enter my password, just an option to run diagnostics, which provided no help whatsoever.
I tried reverting the router to the previous settings, but the issue persists. I am able to connect to other nearby WPA2 secured networks (or at least get a prompt to enter a password), but not the one I was using previously. I am able to connect to my network if I disable the security, but as I live in a fairly large apartment building, that's not a permanent solution. Anybody have any insight into what might be causing this issue?

I have an android phone as well and i found an app called "wifi tether" version 3.1-beta. They listed as web address in the about section on the app http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com i am not sure if the address is good but it might give you some insight. The app works for me on my k1. But you are right ad-hoc support would be great.

Cannot connect to WPA network with non-ascii password

In my office somebody thought it would be a good idea to encrypt the wireless network with a WPA password containing a non-ascii character. It is fine by the WPA2 standards, but the airport password prompt doesn't allow me to introduce suche characters.
I have also tried to put the password directly in Keychain but it didn't work either. Besides, I tried the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resourc es/airport utility and it also didn't work.
Any ideas, experiences, comments??
Thanks a lot

Anyway, it seems strange to me this limitation the Apple airport utility and that there is no command line way to overcome this "UI problem".
It appears that OSX is enforcing WPA Personal's "no non-ASCII" rule, whereas Windows isn't.
There may be a command-line fix, but I don't know what it might be.

Cannot connect to home network with iphone via wireless.

wireless home network does not appear in iphone. pc, laptops and iTV work perfect with wireless. I tried everything i can think of. anysuggestions?

If there is no problem with the iPhone seeing any other available wi-fi networks or connecting with any other wi-fi network your iPhone has access to, not sure how it can't be a problem with your wireless router or network regardless if the iPad and iMac have no problem.
No change after resetting network settings on the iPhone and/or after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

Can't connect to WiFi network with a WEP3 password

i have trouble connecting my ipod touch 3G to my Wifi hat home. we are using a WEP3 key, but i can't find a way to tell my ipod to use that.
i guess it is autimaticall yon WEP1 - is there any way to change it?

Suggest to apple to support WEP3 for iOS devices. In my house I control wireless setting, because my parents don't know how, but really check with your dad and tell him how much this messes up your iPod experience.
Suggestions to Apple should go here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html
However, I doubt that Apple (or any other manufacturer) will do much on WEP; it is easily cracked by hackers (in minutes) and has been deprecated by the standards group since 2004. Move to WPA2.

My airport extreme is a little over a year old. All of a sudden, we cannot connect to the network with the password. I am the only administrator and have not changed the password. The signal shows strong but no connection. It is not the modem.

Airport extreme suddenly stopped "accepting" password. The signal appears strong -- just will not accept a log on. No changes have been made. It is not the modem. Have replaced the airport with my old linksys and wifi works fine. Is there a way to "reset" it and start over. We've unplugged it (airport) for 30 minutes and still the same result.

To do a factory reset, unplug the Extreme and push in the small round reset button on the back with a straightened paper clip or point of a pen and hold it in while plugging it back in - when the light starts to blink fast, release the button - then wait for the light to blink slowly - this indicates that the factory reset has completed - you can now re-configure the Extreme from scratch.

TS1398 I did everything you are recommend to do and still cannot connect to the network. "Unable to join network" shows up even that is a university network working for other users - students and staff. I am very unhappy with my new iphone 5 :(

I did everything recommended on apple store support site and still cannot connect to the network with my new iphone 5 but my co-workers and students (I work for the university) can keep connectivity all the time. I am very unhappy with my new phone

Be patient, Apple is coming out with a update soon, its been reported that they have sent the update to the carriers to test, which means it will be soon. And is suppose to address this issue.

IPod Touch will not connect to WiFi network

Hi,
I am getting errors connecting to WiFi networks with my iPod Touch. This had affected a Touch I got a couple months ago. Initially, the WiFi worked perfectly on my WEP network and several others. Then, one day, I couldn't get any WiFi. After standard troubleshooting steps (forget network & re-enter, reset network settings, restart, restore iPod, etc.), it still wouldn't work. I returned the iPod and bought another. At first it also worked perfectly on any WiFi network I joined.
But now I'm affected by the same issue. This time, I went to the router settings and saw that the router (a Linksys) had assigned the iPod Touch an IP address. Yet, in the settings pane on th iPod Touch, the iPod had no IP address. I just ahead and reset all network settings, forget the network, reset the update and still nothing. And this was recently after updating to 1.1.2 firmware.
Given that this has now happened to iPod Touches, I'm concerned that it may be an issue that is affecting others. Any suggestions? The error I get in Safari is "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server."

same problem!it connects to the linksys(not always,but miracles happen),and it can't load any page. it's really anoyingi. actually remember that the first day i bought it could've connect to linksys,but then my dad just helped me to acces our network and i didn'try to use it. but when i was in neighbourhood and wanted to open safari, it found me a link sys,but couldn't load anything. like nothing,even thou the signal was pretty strong...and i tried to do something like this in different places and buildings,the only place where i could actually connect is home with my network,that's it!
i don't want to return my ipod,but it really drives me to it..=/
is there anything that i can do?
tnks.

I have an HP Photosmart 7510 & cannot connect by WiFi, I have tried the support fix with no success.

Hi
I have an HP Photosmart 7510 & cannot connect by WiFi, I have tried the support fix with no success.
I have tried the suggested from below;
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02817031&cc=uk&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=507...
I have not tried to assign the static IP address suggested in step 6 on the web link above, I am not that technical & do not fully understand how to perform this task & am surprised HP expect retail client to follow this, if is a bit technical I think you must agree.
Anyway, the WiFi or Wireless blue led is blinking.
If I try to discover my wireless network, it is not displaye like it used , nor are my neighbors, my mobile Samsung Galaxy S displays my network and my neighbors when the phone in placed by my 7510.
When I try to enter the SSID & key, my 7510 times out without connecting to my router.
My pc is connected directly to my router (Buffalo) and I use a Fujitsu Desktop running Win 7 32bit.
By the way, I have done a "Factory reset" to my 7510 & this did not help at all.
Can anyone help?
Is my 7510 faulty?
Thanks in advance.

I saw your post and forwarded it to the right people for their review. You should hear back from someone shortly via private message on this Forum.
