Cannot manually configure wireless

Hey, to connect to the internet, we have to configure our computers and devices manually going through "manage wireless settings". Then we type the name and security type.
When I do this it tells me successfully configured wireless connection. Then when I try to change connection settings or go to the properties of my created profile it gives me this error
Windows has encountered an error saving the wireless profile.
Specific error: The system cannot
find the file specified
Please help

I believe I have a fix for you.
It is caused by a registry problem. To fix it:
1. Make sure you are an Administrator.
2. Win + R. Type "regedt32" and hit enter.
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum
4. Right click on the "Enum" folder and click "permissions..."
5. Click Advanced
6. Check the box next to "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent".
NOTE: If you get an "access is denied" box, download the program RegOwnit and use it to gain ownership of the Enum key.
7. Grant full control to the Administrators group and/or your username.
8. Restart your computer.
Mark as Answer if it's worked. Thanks. Balamurugan_Subramaniyan

How do you remove a manually configured wireless access point on the iphone 4S?

I have manually configured my iPhone 4s to point to a wireless access point that I no longer use. How do I delete it from the list of access points on my iPhone?

You can only "Forget this Network" while actually connected to the network, so ignore iamjeremi's post. Other than restoring your phone as a new device, you can't if you cannot connect to the network anymore.

Urgent - How to configure Wireless manually ?

Gurus,
When I installed Portal and Wireless option, I UNchecked "the automatic configuration of wireless" option.
I'm having a problem with setting up Ultrasearch portlets and a note that I found says that the wireless should be configured, is that true ? If so, how do I configure Wireless option manually ? Which script do I need to run ?
Thanx a bunch.

After the Oracle Universal Installed is closed, you can go to Enterprise Manager tool to configure the wireless component. This configuration step will launch the wireless assistant.

Wireless Print Server (DPR-1260) - Manually Configure Printer Port

I am trying to get my DPR-1260 Wireless Print Server (PS) installed, and need help with manually configuring the printer port (per Dlink).
Status:
A) Before trying to install the PS, I was able to easily install (2) USB printers, see them, and print to them.
B) My new IMAC is hardwired to the router.
*Recent Actions:*
1) I've worked with Dlink and have verified that my network (my new IMAC, and my wife's wireless laptop (OS 10.39) see the PS (hooked directly to the router). It's IP address is 192.168.0.102 .
2) I hooked both printers to the PS, and the address sees both printers as installed, and provide with LPR information (both printers are now hooked to the PS). Dlink does not guarantee printer compatibility, but says that since the site sees the printers, gives me LPRs, that the probability is good that they will be compatiable.
3) My new IMAC sees this address in both OS and in XP (thru VM Fusion). My laptop (10.3x) also sees this address. However, I'm not able to install this printer.
4) Per Dlink, I need to manually configure the printer port to install the PS.
5) Dlink kept sending me to the Print Utility, but from what I see, that does not exist in 10.5.
How do I manually configure the printer port to see the PS?
Now, I am stuck, and help?
Many thanks

As DLink have said, you will have to manually configure a LPR queue to connect to your printers. The print utility in 10.5 is the Print & Fax util in System Preferences. Open this and choose to Add . Select IP and then LPR. Enter the ip address of the PS. Then you will need a queue name for the respective USB ports, such as P1 and P2, or something similar. Hopefully the DLink info mentions this so that you can print to the desired printer.
The final bit of info you will need to know is whether the printer driver for each printer will work in this type of network. If either of them is a Canon then there is a good chance you will not be able to use supplied drivers. These types of connections require a third party driver, like Gutenprint, which is usually installed by default. If you are not sure, then please tell us which brands and models of printer you have.

Airport Extreme - Cannot join a wireless network

I just purchased the Airport Extreme and cannot get it to find a wireless network. In the Airport Utility I receive the following messages, "Joining a wireless network….An error occurred joining the selected wireless network.". I cannot proceed past this point. When I select "manual" configure I get the same error message. I've tried repeatedly disconnecting the cable & power from the modem and the airport extreme and then restarting but nothing happens. Any advice would be appreciated!

If you have a cable modem, you will need to power it off for at least 15-20 minutes and pull the battery if is has one as it is remembering the last device (probably your computer) that is was connected to. Power it back up after 20 minutes and connect the ethernet cable to the WAN port on the AEBS.
Suggest you do a factory default reset to clear the corrupted settings and start over again on the AEBS
Power down the AEBS
Hold in the reset button +and keep holding it in+ as you plug the power back in
Release the reset button after approximately 8-10 seconds
Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AEBS to help AirPort Utility connect with the device.
You will be configuring the AEBS to "Share a public IP address" and "create a wireless network. The guided setup will step you through.

Road Runner Cable - Windows 7, 32 bit - WRT54G v5 (Manually configuring without Linksys CD)

Hello,
My sister recently got a new computer with Windows 7 and has switched from DSL to Cable. How do I go about helping her manually configure the WRT54G v5?  She cannot find the setup CD. Support tells me that this model is no longer under warranty and eligible for chat support. Support also said the setup CD is not compatible with Windows 7; however, the Window 7 compatibility page says "This product installs automatically without extra software."   Any help would be greatly appreciated. I guess there will be two steps: getting the wireless router to work on her new desktop and then how to allow a laptop to connect wirelessly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, John

Welcome to the linksys forum, please follow the instructions below.
1. Make sure that the Cable Modem is connected to the router and computer:
    * Cable Modem >> Linksys Router >> Computer
Step 1
Cable that comes into the home will get connected to the Cable Modem
Step 2
Connect an Ethernet cable to the back of the cable Modem
Step 3
Take the Ethernet cable from the Cable Modem and connect it to the "Internet Port" on back of the Linksys Router.
Step 4
Connect another Ethernet cable to Port #1 on back of the Linksys Router.
Step 5
Now connect the Ethernet Cable from Port #1 to the Ethernet port on back of your computer.
The Physical setup is now complete.
Being that you used the Linksys Router before with the DSL setup, you will need to "Reset" the Linksys Router. Locate the "Reset Button" on back of the Linksys Router and push it in for 30 seconds, this will set the router back to the factory settings. You will need a pen or paper clip to press down on the Reset Button.
Note: This factory reset will erase all previous settings.
Linksys Setup Page:
To access the Setup page, follow the steps below:
1. Open Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1 into the Address Bar at the top of Internet Explorer and press the Enter Key.
2. Once you type in 192.168.1.1 and press the enter key you will get a Linksys pop-up sign-in box.
3. Here are the default sign-in choices:
    A) UserName = Leave this field blank (do not type in anything)
    B) Password = admin
OR
    A) UserName = admin
    B) Password = admin
You should now be at the Linksys Setup Page (Basic Setup)
Below are the settings for the Cable setup.
Internet Connection Type = Automatic Configuration-DHCP is selected.
MTU = AUTO
Router IP = 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Note : Make sure that you now scroll to the bottom or the page and click on "Save settings".
4. Now click on the Mac Address Clone sub tab and:
     A) Choose the Enable setting
     B) Now click on "Clone your PC's MAC Address"
     C) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Save Settings"
Close out of this page and try to connect to the Internet.
Wireless setup: (Access the setup page again by typing 192.168.1.1 into IE and type in the password "admin", Unless you have changed it).
Part 1
1.Click on the Wireless Tab and you will be at "Basic Wireless Settings. Please make sure that you have these 4 settings set-up.
A) Wireless Network Mode: Set this to the mode that your network is using = G, N, or Mixed
B) Wireless Network Name (SSID): Please choose a Name other than Linksys (which is the default), this will allow you to identify your network from your neighbors network.
C) Wireless Channel: Channel's 1, 6, and 11 are best but you can try others to see what works best for you.
D) Wireless SSID Broadcast: Please set this to Enable.
Now go to the bottom of the Linksys Setup Page and click on Save Settings.
Part 2
1. Now click on the sub-tab Wireless Security, here there will be 4 settings to setup as well.
A) Security Mode: WPA Personal = TKIP+AES
                  WPA2 Personal = AES
B) WPA Algorithms: If you choose WPA then choose TKIP+AES
                   If you choose WPA2 then choose AES
C) WPA Shared Key: Choose at least a combination of 8 or more letters/numbers.
D) Group Key Renewal: this will remain at 3600
Now go to the bottom of the Linksys Setup Page and click on Save Settings.
Once the above settings have been set and saved you can close out of the linksys setup page and perform a Power-Cycle:
Power Cycling: (Only if you are having a problem connecting to the Internet)
    Step 1:
    Shutdown the computer.
    Step 2:
    Unplug the router’s power cable.
    Step 3:
    Unplug the ISP modem’s power cable and wait for 30 seconds.
    Step 4:
    Plug in the ISP modem’s power cable and wait for its lights to appear stable.
    Step 5:
    Plug in the router's power cable once the modem’s lights appear stable.
    Step 6:
    Power on the computer and test the wireless Internet connection.
Have a good day and hope all goes well.

How do I manually configure a Timecapsule after having restored it to original settings?

I have been experiencing very slow wifi speeds over my wireless and having done some research on the topic, many suggest that completely eliminating previous settings by restoring the Timecapsule and manually reconfiguring it may help. I have tried to do this, but despite changing the setting to "manually configure" in the hardware settings in the airport utility, every time I restore Timecapsule and begin to configure it, it tells me that it is reading the settings from the base station.
In addition, despite removing the check mark from the "remember previously joined networks" in airport utility, it still lists my previous SSID in the list of networks.
Since the wireless speed hasn't improved at all (in fact, it has deteriorated some) I am afraid the old set ups are still there and slowing things down. How can I completely remove all previous settings from my Timecapsule, my airport express and the airport utility software and start from scratch?
Thanks.

How can I completely remove all previous settings from my Timecapsule, my airport express and the airport utility software and start from scratch?
There are two parts to this answer. The first relates to performing a Factory Default Reset separately on the Time Capsule and AirPort Express. This will erase the current network settings and return them to default values. This will not affect any backups that you may have stored on the Time Capsule disk. ***
Use the information in this Apple support document for that:
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
Part two would be to delete the previous wireless settings on your iMac. Here's how:
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Open Wi-Fi or AirPort
Click Advanced at the lower right of the window
Click on the name of a wireless network that you no longer need to highlight it
Click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list to delete it
Do the same for other networks that you no longer need
Click OK, then click Apply
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
Click on the name of a wireless network that you want to delete to highlight it
Click the Delete key on your keyboard
Do the same for other networks that you no longer need
Close KeyChain Access
*** If you need to erase the Time Capsule disk completely, post back for additional instructions. We need to know which version of AirPort Utility you are using to provide specific details.

Can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac

Hi there. I can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac. I have it installed with USB just fine but I want to use eprint (with ios airplay). I run the setup utility looking for some wireless setup option, but it never appears. When I finish the install it tells me to go to the eprint website to download eprint. At that site it has me download the firmware update, which I do, and then at the end of that it tells me to go to the eprint website again, which then downloads the firmware update again. It's an endless loop.
I know I need to get to the built in web server but the config page tells me I don't have an IP address. Which makes sense to me because it hasn't been set up. I can't for the life of me find how to set up the wireless using the driver software on the Mac OS. I try to follow the manuals instructions, but it looks like it is designed for windows users, and the buttons it tells me to look for just don't exist on the mac HP driver software.
Can you help?

Hi,
The Wireless configuration should be made by using the EWS page, which also accessible from Mac OS over a USB connection through the printer setup.
You may find the steps listed below:
Click the Apple icon, then clickSystem Preferences.
Click Print & Fax.
Select your printer and click Open Print Queue.
Click on Printer Setup
Then select Utility
Click Open Printer Utility
Click HTMLConfig. The EWS opens.
Click the Networking tab
Then click Wireless from the list on the left
Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
In the confirmation box, click OK and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
Once done, allow 3 minutes to fully establish the connection, then unplug the USB.
Enter Print & Fax and remove the existing USB Print Queue.
Click the Plus button and add the printer over the network.
Please let me know of any issue,
Shlomi

I tried the "iwconfig wlan0 channel auto", but that didn't work. Here's the output of "lspci | grep -i net":

03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 1000 Series
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!

New domain, Roaming Profiles, Outlook 2010 gives error 'Your Outlook data file cannot be configured'.

Hi there,
I have recently setup a new domain, with a new domain controller and new exchange 2013 server.
these are running on a cluster of 2 x hyper-v 2012r2 hosts. All VMs are running server 2012 r2.
although I don't think that has any bearing on my issue.
I have migrated all of my existing user machines to the new domain.
We use roaming profiles.
When a user logs into their PC for the first time, all is ok.
when a user logs into a different machine (they log off of their first machine and then log into a second machine),
they get the following error when opening outlook.
'Your Outlook data file cannot be configured. C:\Users\%username%.domain\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\[email protected]'
I can manually resolve this on each machine by doing one of the following.
1. Before the user logs in, I log in as an administrator or browse to the pc from another machine create a folder in users called 'whatevertheuserssusernameis' (please note, I actually put in the user's username, ie OKIRWAN)
when the user then logs in, their profile is created in %username%.domain instead of %username%.
I believe this is the route of the problem, as when we added the new machines to the domain, and they logged in for the first time to their 'usual machine', there was already a folder in users with their username, so when we added to the new domain and logged
in for the first time, it created a new folder called %username%.domain, however when the user logs into a pc they never have logged into before, it creates their profile in %username% but their roaming profile is looking for their OST in C:\Users\%username%.domain\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\[email protected].
2. My second way around this is to go to control panel and mail and remove and recreate the users outlook profile.
As I have 100 users, who move to various different machines, these manual options are not really viable.
I have tried redirecting the OST file to c:\OST via group policy, this did not resolve the issue.
All users are local admins on their machines.
if I open outlook as administrator then it loads ok and creates the OST file in C:\Users\%username%.domain\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\[email protected].
however if I close outlook and open it again without running as administrator I get the following error.
File access is denied. You do not have the permission required to access the file C:\Users\%username%.domain\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\[email protected]. (even administrators on that PC have full access to that folder).
All users are running outlook 2010.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Owen

Hi,
We can try to set up new profiles for users via creating a PRF file using the Office Customization Tool.

I cannot change the wireless LAN encryption WEP settings

Dear all,
I have a WRC-1000 which I did not use for about year and a half. Now I reconnected the unit and during the configuration I cannot change the wireless LAN settings for security (WEP). No matter what I do it keeps stuck on 128 bit WEP.
It also does not show the WEP key settings (so the screen where I should configure the WEP key).
This is what I have done so far: Full reset, reload default configuration, updated to latest firmware. Still no change. I suspect a hardware failure. Is this a memory failure (flash)??
Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Do you speak about the router settings or about the WLan setting on the notebook???
Did you try to use a Wlan connectivity tool like Intel ProSet Utility or Atheros WLan client utility?
Depending on your WLan card I would recommend checking these both tools and try to establish the WLan connection using one of these programs!

Cannot manually backup iPad mini or update iOS 7 over wifi or iTunes.

Hi all,
I delayed updating my ipad mini because I'm lazy but have a lot of app updates so thought it was time. My iPhone 4s went fine but my iPad is frustrating me to no end. I cannot update it wirelessly. When I press General > Software Update, it fails to load any updates after checking for ages and displays the message "unable to check for update" and says an error occurred. When I plug it into my Mac, it tries to set it up as a new ipad or wants to restore it from my backed up iphone data. It gives me no opportunity to back it up manually through itunes. Both my macbook and itunes are up to date. This is a new macbook and my first macbook so my ipad has never been plugged into it before but my iphone worked.
The only thing I can think of that might be a problem is that my mac is plugged into an ethernet cable and I set it to be a hotspot for my ipad.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

You can't go back. Period.
But carefully explain what your issues might be. Someone here will provide assistance. But general statements of "WiFi doesn't work well" doesn't give us enough information to even begin to help you.

Manual configuration - quick question!

The Dutch translation of the Airport extreme (7.1) software has a small mistake in the manual configuration part.
Under the menu "Airport" (button)
The third tab "Wireless"
There's 1 checkbox here below the "network name" text field.
What is it saying?
In Dutch we only get to see a part of the sentence.
Thanks for the help.

Ok guys, found it out, it's "allow this network to be extended".

HT5569 cannot scan for wireless networks

I cannot connect to any wi-fi network. My wif- is working at home, I am connected right now to the wi-fi with my computer, but this phone wont connect to any network at all. I have read the recommended steps posted on this website. I have tried rebooting, resetting the network connections, etc. I tried manually entering the name of the network and the screen says "cannot scan for wireless networks". I have had this problem since upgrading the operating system a few days ago. Nothing is working and this is very frustrating.

After being to the apple store twice, trying various restore attempts and a host of other things. I have found out the phone is screwed because of the apple update. I ended up losing content, losing the ability to connect to wifi, so lost the ability to get my cloud backups, lost my ability to get my work email as well and that is that. I have spent hours dealing with this now. Apple store told me I should just upgrade my phone to a 5 when my contract is up cause there is nothing they can do. If I had known all of this would have happened I would never have updated. The guy at the apple store told me he didnt do the update on his phone because of all the issues with it. Thanks Apple. Thanks for sending out a system upgrade that really downgrades our phones and ****** us off. My time is valuable as is all the data that is lost. I am royally ****** off. You have lost my loyalty. I might just upgrade to some other type of phone instead of an iphone.

HT4259 Why does my Airport utility not have either an option to manually configure, or a box "to extend the network?"

I have Mac with Lion, with an AIrport Extreme wi-fi network. I am trying to configure a Airport (model A1264) to extend the network. I read the Apple article on how to configure an extended network. Unfortunately my Airport Utility seems to have none of the functionality mentioned in the article. The article states to choose manual configuration of the base station. I can find no such option in my Airport Utility. Secondly, it the article states to check "create a wireless network," which I can find, but then says to check box to "allow this network to be extended." No such option appears anywhere in my Airport Utility. Lastly, my Mac is not even recognizing the existence of the Airport Express. It does not even appear as a wireless device, nor does it appear in Airport Utility as an "Other Airport Base Stations. It does however continue to flash amber. Does anyone know what might be the problem?
Thanks,
bmarr

I read the Apple article on how to configure an extended network. Unfortunately my Airport Utility seems to have none of the functionality mentioned in the article.
The article was written a few years ago and Lion 10.7.4 was not around at the time.
I suggest that you download and install the full featured version of AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion . I think you will find that it will track with the article (if it is the one that I think it is) very nicely.
You can keep both AirPort Utility 5.6 and AirPort Utility 6.0 on your Mac.
