Cannot connect to wireless network

Hello,
I am trying to connect to my wifi network which is secured using WPA2. I have tried wpa_supplicant and netctl.

The fact that I can find the see the network with iwlist wlan0 scanning leads me to believe that the driver is working fine, but I could be wrong. I am using ndiswrapper with a Windows driver.
I appreciate any suggestions! Thanks.

If you are using the 'Key=\"hexkeyhere' netctl parameter, it would seem taht you apparently think you should be using wep. If it is wep, you could just connect with iwconfig directly.  But from scanning through all that ouput and stuff, I am really not sure if you are using wpa or wep.  I think using "iw dev wlan0 scan" will provide more in depth info than iwlist.

  • Two Issues: Cannot connect to wireless networks; Cannot load certain sites

    Hey everybody,
    I have a MacBook Pro 15".
    In just the past week, I've stumbled upon two sudden problems with my network/internet connectivity.
    First, I can no longer connect to wireless networks, be it an infrastructure point or computer-to-computer ad-hoc networks. I'm not really sure why. I installed the latest AirPort Update (4.2.3, according to System Profiler). I also recently installed both iStumbler and KisMac v.21. When I started having issues, I thought that maybe one of these two programs might be the culprit, so I uninstalled both of them but I still have the same problem.
    Second, I've had issues with not being able to connect to certain websites. I use both Safari and BonEcho as my browsers. The specific sites seem random:
    www.weffriddles.com
    www.macrumors.com
    images.google.com
    sports.yahoo.com
    finance.yahoo.com
    to list a few.
    If you need any diagnostic information, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance for any advice/help you can provide!
    Tommy H.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   browsers: Safari, BonEcho/ Airport Driver Version: 4.2.3

    If you are trying to connect to a third-party router using WPA or WEP, there is a good chance that your Airport card was broken by Apple's 2007-02 Airport Update. There is no fix, and for many of us, our Macbooks and Macbook Pros are useless for wireless connections until Apple fixes the issue. At this point, Apple seems to be denying that there even is an issue, so we may all be in for a long wait indeed.

    Then after a reboot, I wouldn't be able to connect to wireless network anymore.

    So what's the problem here? I searched the forum and google, and it seemed that I connected to a wrong router(for sometimes I only one "carrier lost" then "timed out"), but how was that happened? Things worked quite well before the upgrading as well as in my Windows environment.
    Any reply would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Proofrific, but I believe it's not, for the DHCP server is a built-in module in my wireless router.
    I am now able to connect to my wireless network now. And it seems to be a little kernel bug as I discovered a thread(sorry but I forgot which one) in the forum discussing a similar problem.... Somebody in that post suggested a work-around to change the channel, as their default setting is channel 13 or 12.
    I tried and it did work! Just simply open your router's setting page and then change the channel from auto to 3(in my case), and netcfg worked well now. For the manual configuration, I suppose the "iwconfig wlan0 channel 3" should be issued.
    Thanks everyone in the forum for providing their solutions!

  • [SOLVED] Cannot connect to wireless networks any more after update

    Hello,
    I updated my system some days ago and, after that, I can't connect to wireless networks any more.
    My network card is ath9k and I'm currently using wicd.
    When I try to connect to my wireless network, I get "Veryfing AP association" message, then it fails to connect.
    Here's the dmesg output :

    This particular line caught my attention: " wlan0: de-authenticating from 00:1c:10:57:47:17 by local choice (reason=3)". So I searched for it (without the MAC address) on the internet and found several solutions for it, involving wpa_supplicant, dhcpcd, IPv6 (disable it on /etc/sysctl.d/40-ipv6.conf) and card power management (operation not supported, don't have option on BIOS), but none of them worked for me.

    I've been connecting through wire since then and it's extremely uncomfortable being planted in one place.
    Thanks.

  • IPod Touch cannot connect to wireless network

    I have a 1 TB, dual-band time capsule with a wireless network created to share our broadband internet connection for our main computer (the iMac), a windows PC, an iPhone 3G, and a 2nd gen iPod touch to connect to the internet. Wireless security for this network is WPA/WPA2 Personal. The windows box and the iPhone 3G connect without problem, but the iPod touch does not seem to connect correctly. The device sees the network, prompts for the password, and seems to be connected (wi-fi symbol visible in top left corner of device), but when trying to view a website using the Safari app, the screen dims and an endless "Connecting..." message is visible. Furthermore, when trying to update e-mail, I get a message that the connection to the server failed.
    It is worth noting that the iPod did not always have this problem. It was able to connect to the wi-fi network until a few weeks ago. This may have been due to the upgrade to Snow Leopard, or perhaps due to an incident where the windows PC lost its connection to the network. When this occurred, I had to disable all security on the network, connect the PC to the network, then re-enable security (as I had to do when first installing the Time Capsule; for whatever reason, the windows box had a hard time joining the network with security enabled). Anyway, one of these two events is the likely cause of the iPod suddenly being unable to connect; I'm sorry to say that I'm uncertain as to which one, because my wife uses the device sporadically, so we cannot pinpoint exactly when this difficulty started.
    As for attempted solutions, I tried resetting the iPod back to factory settings, only to have the same connection issues. I also changed the network security settings to None, and attempted to connect the iPod to the network (even though it should have no problem connecting to a secure network), but still no go. I am short on ideas for a fix, and would gladly welcome any advice the community has to offer. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Pretty much the same thing happened to me. My new Touch connects fine to my work wireless network (WEP64) - still does. But my home wireless network is SOL. I can join the router, wireless icon is in upper left corner (although gray, not green). I can even see the Touch from my router (Verizon FIOS). All other laptops in the house including wireless TiVo work flawlessly. I have not undone my security on my router yet - looks like it won't help. I have tried using static IP and I can still see iPod from router. But I cannot browse, go to AppStore, check email (which works great from work network), and have exact same error messages as above post. It has to be a security thing somewhere, I just didn't want to mess with router if I didn't have to. If I figure it out, I will post here........

  • Cannot connect to wireless network from a new HP Officejet Pro 6830

    Just purchased a HP Officejet Pro 6830 wireless printer.
    Set it up connecting my Dell PC and it initially worked.
    THEN something happened.
    ICON on screen on printer indicates "NO WIRELESS NETWORK FOUND"
    Tried rebooting the Cable modem, then the router, then the printer and then the PC.
    Still did not work.
    What should I do?

  • Photosmart C4780 cannot connect to wireless network

    My Photosmart C4780 was working just fine, wirelessly, and now I cannot print unless I connect it to my laptop or desktop via the usb cord.  I am running Mac OSX 10.9 with the Mavricks downloaded on both computers.  I was able to print from my Mac Mini, iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air all without issue but now my Wirless Network Test Report says I fail "Network Name (SSID) Found".  The HP Network Configuration Page says my Netowrk Status is Offline and my Active Connection Type is None but I can see my network listed under Number of 802.11 networks discovered.  I believe I just need to connect or reconnect the printer to the network but I can't find how to do that anywhere on the help site.  Can anyone tell me how to connect my printer to my network now?  When I first installed it onto the network I didn't have OSX 10.9 with Mavricks so the installation CD worked just fine but not it won't work either.  One more thing, when I try using the screen on the printer and go through the WIFI Protected Setup both Push Button and PIN fail.  HELP PLEASE.....

    Hi hisfunbox,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having problems connecting your printer wirelessly.
    I have included a document with steps on how to change the printer from a USB connection to a wireless connection. It has a subsection for Mac OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion/OS X v10.9 Mavericks. The second option in this section is how to change from the an existing USB connection.

  • Brand new macbook pro cannot connect to wireless networks

    The first time I called apple tech, they thought it was a problem with my internet provider. I've called 4 times now, and I'm still getting the runaround.
    I have an old (2001) G4 sitting right next to my macbook pro which can see numerous wireless networks and connect to them all. A strong connection at that. However, my brand new (refurbished) Macbook Pro Intel etc,.... supposedly best computer ever made, . . . . can see the same wireless networks but has never been able to connect. As a student, I saved for a year to buy this notebook so I could work at cafe's & study with my friends. My friends with PC's can all connect to these wireless networks. My friends with older, less expensive notebooks can connect no problem. I have never been able to connect. Bought this peice of junk 2 1/2 months ago - only because I didn't want to be stuck at home anymore with my desktop. Stupid me to trust apple.
    I wish I could get my $ back, but I'm now being told that it's 30 days too late. Before they told me it was a minor thing and some software update could fix it. I did as told. downloaded and installed their 10.4.8 thingy - deleted all the keychain stuff - nothing. same peice of junk.
    Now they are telling me to go back to the genius bar where folks are just rude to me and tell me they can't help me becuase I bought a "refurbished" model that didn't even save me $25. What do you know.
    Anyone having problems like this? Anyone out there who can help me?

    Okay,
    I apologie for calling it a peice of junk. I know you all probably worship this machine. I'm just really frustrated. I noticed that this is a very common problem - though most of the posts identical to mine have dissapeared from apple.com - this well known defect is all over other discussion boards and websites like macdefect, etc,....
    So, can any of you tech gods help me with this very well known, common problem that I haven't been able to fix with 10.4.8 upgrade?
    Thanks for your time and assistance,

  • [SOLVED] cannot connect to wireless networks

    I started this topic some time ago. I no longer have access to the WPA network I was troubleshooting on, but now I have access to an unencrypted wireless network at a library and I still can't get wireless to work. This time it's not dropping my connection, but not connecting period. I'm having to switch between posting here using a library computer and troubleshooting on my laptop, so there is no way I can post long output (unless someone has an idea). It is very important that I get wireless working soon, as I no longer have access to a wired network on my laptop, and I have a few thousand dollars worth of bitcoin sitting in my wallet on my laptop that I can't access because of this wireless problem (and I'm running out of money fast.) So if someone here would be so kind as to try to help me, it's much appreciated.
    I will try to post as much relevant information here as possible. I am working as root. The output of
    ip link
    shows that my wireless interface, named wlp2s0, is up, but just to be sure, I run
    iw dev set wlp2s0 up
    and the output of ip link doesn't change. So the interface is obviously up. So I run
    iw dev wlp2s0 scan | less
    which confirms what I already know, which is that there is an unencrypted network named "central-library-comcast" with a decent signal. So I run
    iw dev wlp2s0 connect "central-library-comcast"
    (I have tried both with and without the double quotes) This command runs without output. Then I run
    dhcpcd wlp2s0
    which outputs
    dhcpcd[509]: sending commands to master dhcpcd process
    and try
    ping google.com
    which outputs
    ping: unknown host google.com
    I also try obtaining an ip address using
    dhclient wlp2s0
    which works for a while, then exits without output. Pinging google.com again fails. I confirm that I do not have a connection by running
    ip dev wlp2s0 link
    which outputs
    Not connected.
    So basically, I know that there is an unencrypted network named "central-library-comcast" with a fair signal, and I have followed the wireless configuration article to the dot (as far as I can tell...), and I'm just not getting a connection. I have tried on another unencrypted network at a coffee shop with the same result. Can anyone help me? Again, I regret that I have no way of posting long output. But if anyone has any suggestions, they are greatly appreciated.

  • Cannot connect to wireless network? please help!!

    I am at my wits end! I don't know what else to do... My airport express just keeps flashing amber.. I have the USB connected from the printer to the airport express - the airport express is plugged into the wall and when i run the assistant i get an error that says it can't restart to connect to my wireless network although the settings were changed successfully.
    HOW do i connect to my wireless network (password protected and I have entered the WEP password etc.) I don't know what any other options are since it tells me its installed correctly but it just doesn't connect to the network???
    any help would be greatly appreciated...
    thanks in advanced...

    A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
    o The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
    o You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
    o One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
    (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
    If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation.
    Use the following instructions to compare against your current setup:
    AirPort Express Base Station Setup (AX) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    o Power-off the Cable modem, AX, & computer(s); Wait at least 30 minutes.
    o Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    Setup the AX
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network, or temporarily, connect directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Utility (in Manual Setup), configure the following settings:
    AirPort - Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter the desired base station administrator password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the base station administrator password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
    o Set time automatically: (optional)
    o Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port: checked
    AirPort - Base Station - Base Station Options
    o Contact: (optional)
    o Location: (optional)
    o Status Light: Always On (Default)
    AirPort - Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
    o Network Name: <enter name or leave default>
    o Radio Mode: 802.11b/g compatible
    o Channel: Automatic

    Internet - Internet Connection
    o Connect Using: Ethernet
    o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    o DNS Server(s): (optional)
    o Domain Name: (optional)
    o DHCP Client ID: (optional)
    o Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
    o Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address
    Internet - DHCP
    o DHCP Range: 10.0.1.x
    o DHCP Beginning Address: 10.0.1.2
    o DHCP Ending Address: 10.0.1.200
    o DHCP Lease: 4 hours
    o DHCP Message: (optional)
    o LDAP Server: (optional)
    Internet - NAT
    o Enable default at: unchecked
    o Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol: checked
    Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    o Wireless Password: <enter your desired wireless network security password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the wireless password>
    o Click on "Update" to save the settings to the AX.

  • [Solved] Netctl - Cannot connect to wireless network

    Hi,
    since I replaced netcfg with netctl a week ago, it worked just fine. Today, however, i wanted to connect to a different wireless network and i couldn't make it work.
    Here's some information about how i connected to my home network (which worked fine):
    I changed the netcfg config files to match netctl syntax (as described in the wiki)
    I activated netctl-auto@wlan0
    The connection to the network was established almost immediately after (re)boot or resume after suspend
    First off: I double-checked the config file for the second network. Both syntax and SSID/passphrase are correct. Also, I don't have special characters in my network/profile names, the names in brackets are placeholders.
    Here's what happens after a fresh reboot (only the second network is in range of my pc, so it doesn't connect to my first - working - network):
    Netctl-auto is active and running, but seems to repeatedly lose connection to the second network:
    # systemctl status netctl-auto@wlan0

    I'm pretty sure everything should theoretically work fine, because it worked before the netctl update. I was even connected to this network today until i had to reboot!
    Now here's what happens if I try to connect manually:

    @silverzhao I use a manual dhcpcd/wpa_supplicant way of setting up my wlan0 using http://git.r-36.net/conn and I have the same problem.
    I have to kill my wireless and restart after seeing a message like:
    May 20 10:12:33 x220 kernel: wlan0: AP a4:b1:e9:55:25:2f changed bandwidth, new config is 2462 MHz, width 2 (2452/0 MHz)

  • Cannot connect to wireless networks

    Hey,
    I'm struggling with my wlan connection. It's not a laptop and there's usually a lan connection, but for now I need it wireless. So I plugged my usb-stick in, checked for drivers being loaded and installed networkmanager in order to have a nice xfce4-plugin so I can configure and switch my connections graphically. However, when I select a wifi network, I enter the password when asked and the connection breaks up almost immediately. I'm quite sure it has something to do with wpa_supplicant as both networks are WPA2 encrypted. I also tried wpa_gui, but it doesn't work either. I definitly used the correct passphrases, other devices connect properly. Below are some outputs, I hope you guys have some advices for me:

  • [SOLVED]Cannot Connect to Wireless Network during Installation

    (Sorry, yet another newbie unable to configure a network connection properly)
    I've been using Ubuntu for a little while now (since 11.10), and finally decided to give Arch a try (for a number of reasons). I thought I was comfortable enough with the CLI to be able to set this up, especially with the help of the Beginners' Guide (and the rest of the internet), but I still ran into issues with setting up my network connection (practically the first step, ugh).
    Following the instructions in the Beginners' Guide, I first brought the interface up with
    # ip link set wlp5s4 up
    and then used
    # wifi-menu wlp5s4
    to try and connect, but it gave me a connection failed error. 
    # systemctl status netctl@wlp5s4\x2dWIN_030.service
    gave me the following:
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]; static)
    Active: inactive (dead)
    (I'll post the output of 'journalctl -xn' if someone can tell me an easy way to move it between computers, or I'll type it manually if there's no easier way)
    I then proceeded to attempt connect without using wifi-menu. I first did
    # wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp3s0 -c <(wpa_passphrase "ssid" "psk")
    (replacing ssid and psk with the right info, of course), and got the output
    Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
    I then did
    # dhcpcd wlp5s4
    but this timed out.
    Following the instructions, I went to the fallback, starting with
    # echo 'ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant' > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    # wpa_passphrase <ssid> <passphrase> >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    The second command resulted in
    zsh: parse error near `<'
    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but that's what I've done so far. I apologize if this seems like information overload, but I felt more info is better than less.
    Anyone have any suggestions as to what my next moves should be? If you want me to post any logs, please let me know.

    Here are the results.
    I went through the initial steps, and started the without wifi-menu steps. When I got to where I had a problem previously, this is what happened:
    # echo 'ctrl_interface=DIR=/run/wpa_supplicant' > /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    # wpa_passphrase <ssid> <passphrase> >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
    # ip link set wlp5s4 up
    I replaced "<ssid>" and "<passphrase>" correctly this time, and all of these commands passed without any output.
    I ran into the next command, though, and wasn't exactly sure about it:
    # wpa_supplicant -B -D n180211 -c /foobar.conf -i wlp5s4
    I assumed I had to replace "/foobar.conf" with "/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf", and this gave me the following output:
    Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
    wlp5s4: Unsupported driver 'n180211'
    The Beginners' Guide doesn't indicate what outputs you should get from these commands, so assuming that this was a good output, I ran
    dhcpcd wlp5s4
    but this just ended up timing out as well.

  • Cannot connect to wireless network - Wlan is sometimes not available

    Hi,
    The usual problem I have is that I can see the wireless adaptor but when I go to connect it informs me that the adaptor is not available and to refresh the list.
    I also - when I can get connected - loose the connection after a period of time.
    Any help please
    Thanks
    Boris
    PS I have un-installed config free

    Hi
    As far as I know ConfigFree has no any influence on WLAN functionality because this utility is created for monitoring and not for configuring. When you want to use WLAN connection be sure that WLAN card is properly enabled. If the connection is loosed from time to time try to update WLAN driver.
