Connecting T5 to Netgear WiFi router

I have been trying to connect my T5 using the Palm WiFi card to my Netgear DG834G ADSL WiFi router and have read the very helpful check list provided on your site as well as the other correspondence. I started with the usual problem of the thing disconnecting after trying to download the IP and worked up to manual entry of IPs and DNSs etc.
So far I have :-
Found the T5 MAC and entered it as a trusted device in the router.
From the router itself I have found :-
The two DNS values (these are for the ADSL port?)
The hex 128 bit Key (all 4 are the same) and checked it against a separate key generator using the phrase I entered when I set the router up with the P.C.
The following IP address information:- For the ADSL port:- the IP address and it’s mask, network type (PPPoa), the IP address for the gateway and the two DNS values. I have also found the IP address for the router LAN port.
Loading these in various combinations into the T5 setup in manual causes the unit to seem to log on and display the field strength. But Blazer etc does not work. If I change the WEP key to make it wrong it logs on in the same way, which is very suspicious!
I have managed to get the T5 to download the IP address in auto (after setting it as a trusted device in the router) by switching to ad-hoc and it returns a message saying that it has "connected". Checking the network "info" in prefs/WiFi then shows an IP not found in the router information with it’s mask. However, no DNS info or IP address in the line called "Router" shows up and although the response from Blazer is different (quick connect and URL rejection), nothing works. Manually entering the DNSs with auto IP recovery in ad-hac did not change anything.
I have been through entering the WEP key in hex etc.
Of all the IP address information available, which ones should be entered in the three fields required on the T5? The DNS values relate to the ADSL port. Is this OK.
I would welcome any suggestions. I have yet to try it at a remote site, but I am sure the basic kit is OK, just finger trouble !!!
Thanks in advance

Russel, you haven't mentioned if you have the router's comm. speed set to be compatible with an 802.11/b device.
Do you have this setting correct?

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

  • Printing from iMac using bonjour to a printer connected to netgear wifi router USB port

    Wondering if someone could help provide advice. I have just purchased my first iMac and a new NetGear W600 wifi router. I have connected my Canon multifunction MX310 printer directly to my iMac and it prints and scans perfectly. However when I connect it to the USB port of my new NetGear W600 wifi modem the only thing I can print is the test page on the iMac, ... nothing else prints. I receive the message that my iMac has connected to the printer but nothing prints out, except the basic test page.
    In stark contrast, when I install bonjour on my Dell notebook PC, running Vista, it prints perfectly to the same MX310 printer connected to the NetGear wifi router!

    Hi, Thanks for your help. I am trying to get documents printing to the canon printer in wifi mode, via bonjour, when the printer is connected to the USB port of my NetGear wifi router. I have a wifi internet connection via the same NetGear wifi router so it doesn't seem to be a network connectivity issue. ... any other ideas?
    Many Thanks

  • Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off

    Im Using iPhone 4. i connected to my home WiFi router for browing internet.. Sometimes its automaltically disconnected and must i off and on it again for using.. why its happening?

    Look on the support pages for your WiFi router for a firmware update for the router.
    It's hard to say much more without knowing the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • My Deskjet 3050 J610 will not connect to my Virgin WiFi router for use with Apple Mac laptop.

    I live in the UK and have Broadband access via a Virgin connection and WiFi router. My Apple MacBook laptop connects to the WiFi with no difficulties. However I have an HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer which will not connect to the router. When I try to connect, the blue light just keeps on flashing but a connection is not found. Consequently my MacBook cannot "see" the printer on the network. Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • Connecting fiber modem to wifi router

    I am usually pretty savvy with networking but this one really has got me.  I have searched all over teh Intarwebs with no success solving it.  I need the help of my fellow Mac-o-philes.
    Basically, here's the issue.  I'm in Mexico, and I want to set up a VPN (specifically HideMyAss, HMA) so that I can use my Roku and generally stream things from the United States.
    TELMEX has given me a Alcatel-Lucent I-240w-q router which connects to the fiber line they have run to my house.
    Separately, I bought a ASUS RT-N16 wifi router because that is the one that HMA says can be programmed to be the central "tunnel" into their VPN.  I upgraded the RT-N16 firmware to DD-WRT's most recent build.
    I have access to the config sections of both routers so I can modify their settings at will.
    So what I need to do is connect the Alcatel router to the Asus router in such a way as I can use the Asus router as the primary access to the Internet (I wanted to set this up BEFORE I get the HMA subscription so that I could confirm it worked before I shell out for HMA).
    I would deeply appreciate any assistance at all in setting things up so it goes through.

  • Macbook pro fails to auto connect Internet after rebooting wifi router

    My macbook pro with retina can’t automatically connect to wifi after the wifi router was rebooted.
    There is exclamation mark on wifi sign. As the picture shows, when I clicked the wifi sign, it shows no Internet connection. However, It is strange there is a tick in front of my wifi name. Moreover, in preference set, it shows a confused self-assigned IP address 169.254…(showed in picture). In order to use wifi, I had to turn wifi off, and then turn it on. And the correct IP address for my mac should be 192… (showed in picture).
    I had tried to delete my preferred networks and tested macbook in my friend’s home, but it still failed. This bug happens in my friend’s macbook pro with retina (same to mine) and macbook air. However, the previous version, Macbook pro (not retina), has no this problem.
    This happened just when I reboot the router. It is normal working (connect automatically) when I come back home. Appreciating for any way to solve it!

    I have no clue of what an Airport antenna is either.  I know my Airport Extreme does not have one.
    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.

  • A/ex will not function when connected to a Netgear 3G router.

    For several years my A/EX units operated in Airplay and print server mode (pre OS X Lion).  That configuration used a Netgear DG834 router serving IP addresses (i.e. acting as a DHCP server) to the WLAN.  I then changed to using 3G internet (3 UK) and a Netgear MBR 624GU router again providing DHCP services to the WLAN. 
    Now the A/EX units don't work...  I can configure them to connect to the WLAN and Airport utility "sees" them when they are connected by ethernet but once in wireless mode the connectivity seems to be lost (though the green lights stay on).
    Both A/EX units get very hot when in use and I'm erring towards hardware failure but 2 to lose 2 units at the same time seems less than likely.
    Any thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.

    I also had a power problem .
    I had two cords ... both looked perfectly OK ...no kinks or tears.  Spent a lot of time looking through the manual and software issues.
    When I replaced the CORD I was using  with another Cord ... it worked perfectly.  Try another cord or charger or both ... before you try anything else. 
    We get so involved in the software and hardware that we don't think "simple".
    Check if the cord  or wiring to whatever we are using  is Plugged in, the outlet is live (no fuse blown), the secondary device is working and the cord is "live".

  • Not receiving text messages while connected to a certain WiFi router

    Hello.  When I am connected to my WiFi router at home, I don't receive all texts that people send to me on my iPhone 5S.  When I disable WiFi, texts works just fine and this only happens while connected to my router at home. This also happens to other people who connect to our WiFi network on different versions of iPhones, such as 5C.   I figure it must be the router, so are there any settings I can edit on the router or my phone to solve this issue?

        It's imperative you receive all text messages! Are you only missing out on iMessages? ( text messages between other iPhones ) Does this also happen on other Wi-Fi networks? If you have an opportunity I would suggest resetting network setting,  http://vz.to/1lBMRdc

  • Wireless connection between D-Link WiFi router and Time capsule stopped working

    We have an ISP provided D-Link wireless router (DIR-615) to which we wirelessly connected our 2Tb Time Capsule for back up and to connect a USB printer to out network. This worked perfectly for 3 1/2 years, until about a month ago, when the time capsule suddenly decided to go "off line". ie we could no longer access it or the printer via our wireless network. We had changed nothing - just one day it stopped working.
    We tried to get it back online with no success. As the 2Tb Time Capsule was almost 7 years old and had had some HDD issues in the passed, we figured it had got old and died and that it was time to replace it; so we bought a new 3Tb Time Capsule, thinking this would get everything back to normal.
    However much as we tried, we were also unable to get the new 3Tb Time Capsule to connect wirelessly to the D-Link wireless router. The Airport Utility did not show the D-Link wireless router or its wireless network, although we were (and are) able to see it in Systems Preferences>Networks from all our multiple devises. This in itself seemed odd. No matter what we tried, the Airport Utility would not find the D-Link wireless router and hence we could not add the 3Tb Time Capsule to the existing wireless network.
    At the end of the day we got fed up with trying to add the 3Tb Time Capsule to the D-Link wireless network, and connected it via a LAN cable to the D-Link router instead. We then set it up as its own network. Worked gerat. Having done that we thought maybe the old 2Tb Time Capsule might not have been the problem after all, so we tried extending our new 3Tb Time Capsule wireless network using the 2Tb Time Capsule wirelessly. This worked perfectly! And we are now almost back to what we wanted.
    So although we have a work around, this means now have 2 separate wireless networks as opposed to the original single wireless network where everything talked to everything else.
    Can anyone shed any light on any of the following:-
    1. Why the original wireless network connection between the D-Link router and the 2Tb Time Capsule just stopped working? Was there some software change from Apple that "decided" D-Link wireless routers were no longer secure; and therefore the TCs could no longer connect to them?
    2. Why it was not possible to extend the existing D-Link wireless network using the the new 3Tb Time Capsule?
    3. Is there is anyway that we can get back to a single wireless network based around the D-Link wireless router as the primary router connecting to the modem, where the 2 Time Capsules connect as "wireless satellite base stations"?

    1. Why the original wireless network connection between the D-Link router and the 2Tb Time Capsule just stopped working? Was there some software change from Apple that "decided" D-Link wireless routers were no longer secure; and therefore the TCs could no longer connect to them?
    A firmware update to the TC came along and you agreed to it without perhaps even noticing.. it then smashed your setup because Apple do not recommend the setup you were using and it is very poor.
    2. Why it was not possible to extend the existing D-Link wireless network using the the new 3Tb Time Capsule?
    Because it is such a poor setup that Apple have taken away your ability to choose it unless you know exactly what you are doing.
    3. Is there is anyway that we can get back to a single wireless network based around the D-Link wireless router as the primary router connecting to the modem, where the 2 Time Capsules connect as "wireless satellite base stations"?
    Yes, this I can help you with.
    I have several ways around the problem.. but the first one is.. why use the DIR-615 at all.. it is not a modem.. it is a very ordinary bottom end, poor single band slow wireless router.
    Why don't you simply remove the DIR-615 from the network completely.. plug whatever it is the ISP supplies you.. an ethernet connection from whatever that modem is you mentioned into the WAN port of the Time Capsule. And use the TC in some router mode.. same as the DIR-615 was setup.. dhcp or pppoe or whatever.. I doubt the TC cannot match it.
    If you have issues please post a few screenshots from the DIR-615 to show how it is setup from the WAN side.. and as long as you are given the username and password or whatever the ISP uses to authenticate then chuck out the DIR-615.
    Tell me if that is a goer.. if not we can work out a few other methods..
    eg. Simply turn off the wireless in the DIR-615. It is poor cf the TC and there is no need for it.. with the TC in bridge only use the TC for wireless as well as wireless extend with your old TC.
    Or setup roaming network where everything uses the same SSID.
    Then you will have one wireless network. And it won't matter what as long as it connects.. although IMHO this is not right as the TC is such a superior router now you are wasting your new TC.

  • Does Airport Time capsule needs to be always connected by WAN to wifi router to use as external hard drive?

    Hi,
    I'm getting puzzled.
    I have:
    New Airport Time Capsule
    MBP 15 Retina
    MBP 15 2008y
    ATV3
    Broadband with wifi SkyHub router
    iPhone 5s
    To use the Capsule as wireless external Hard drive does it needs to be always WAN cabled to SkyHub wifi broadband router? Awkward if does.
    If I plug it out I can't see the capsule in the Finder?
    How to set it up?
    How to move files?
    I wish to have on the capsule iTunes & iPhoto libraries, other documents and have acces to them from both MBPs and phones. Not as back up machine but for everyday use.
    Thanks
    Marcin

    I wish to have on the capsule iTunes & iPhoto libraries, other documents and have acces to them from both MBPs and phones.
    That is possible for your MBPs but not for your iPhones. In addition, you are likely to find its performance with iTunes and iPhoto to be unacceptably slow, to the point of uselessness.
    If you really want to, it is possible to configure the Time Capsule join your existing router as a wireless client. In that configuration it will be available to your wireless network as a storage and backup device. It does not strictly need a wired connection to your router. To configure it that way it is best to start with a "hard reset".
    It's not worth the effort though, due to the unacceptably slow transfer speed you are likely to achieve.

  • Lost connection when neighbors start WiFi router

    Am going crazy with this:
    I am in the suburbs and was the only person with WiFi nearby. Recently 2 other people got WiFi as well, and it seems that when they start their WiFi routers, I lose my connection.
    My setup: 10.4.7/PowerBook 17"/Airport Express.
    I can be working, and then suddenly lose connection. I go to the AirPort menu, and suddenly see one or 2 other networks, but mine is gone. The attempts then can take up to 30 minutes to resolve (apparently thru voodoo) but my feeling is that when they go offline and switch off, I can get back online!
    Not good! I have Interference Robustness selected, but am at a loss what to do...
    Anyone with any ideas?
    Thanks
    Peter

    Hi,
    Try to change the channel of your wireless router. If you have the option with your router; preferably set the channel to "automatic".
    If you are in the case that you can no longer connect to your router wirelessly, use an ethernet cable to be able to access to router and change the channel.
    hope this help,

  • IPad will not connect to my Verizon WiFi Router - Keeps saying invalid PW

    My iPad use to connect to my Verizon FIOS Wireless Router (Wireless G) It now will not connect and says invalid PW. I disabled the WEP security and it would still not connect. My iPhone and other computers all connect. I have reset the wireless settings to the factory and it still will not connect. I have firmware 3.2.2 (7B500)on my iPad. I also have a Wireless N router and the iPad connects to that but not the Verizon Wireless G. Has anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

  • After recent updates, my speeds have dropped off. My iTunes pauses and buffers frequently during a song. Apple has kindly replaced my Apple TV, but the problem remains. I have spent big money on the latest WiFi router (Netgear), but no change. What gives?

    I am using Apple TV, linked to my computer network via a NetGear WiFi router. After the latest apple updates, it now takes forever to load my library from my computer. Music pauses frequently to buffer before continuing, and pictures take a long time to load. Apple has replaced my apple tv on warranty, but nothing has improved.

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Help- can't connect airport to Netgear router?

    I posted yesterday then thought I had solved the problem but I hadn't so here goes again:
    I've never used Airport before, so i'm green
    I have a G4 sawtooth tower connected to a Netgear wireless router MR814v2.
    I don't think I have an airport card in the tower unless it came as orig equipment.
    Anyway 2 G4's ( both OS 10.3.9) are connected to the router by ethernet cable and a PC laptop has a Netgear wireless card that also connects it.
    The 2 G4's share internet, file sharing and printer access - no problem.
    The PC laptop shares internet, but I've been unable to figure out how to get it to share printer or files - not too big a deal -
    Now I just bought a 1.5GHz Powerbook that has Airport Extreme in it (running Tiger) (second hand no apple care anymore). I hit the little icon in the upper left corner for airport, and it shows my Network - Good.
    But when I click on the network it asks for a WEP Password - I have no idea what Password to use.
    I've tried everything connected to my router that I can think of, everything related to adminstrative passwords and I always get - "error connecting to network" ( or something like that)
    Do have to set something else up, create a password, or is it another problem?
    I found on the netgear website that I needed to download a firmware update for the router to make it work with airport extreme.
    OK I did that, still doesn't work.
    I can connect fine to my neighbors linksys network that doesnot require a password.
    Also do I need to set up another email address for this machine?
    I can't log into the same email address on 2 machines at the same time can I?

    Open the Netgear configuration page. Go to the wireless settings. On my Netgear, the encryption password is visible.
    If the password isn't visible on yours, simply change the password to something new.
    Also do I need to set up another email address for this machine?
    No
    I can't log into the same email address on 2 machines at the same time can I?
    Sure. If you are using an IMAP account and have the settings to leave the messages on the server everything will work well. If you are using a POP account it can become confusing because the first one to check mail will get messages and remove them from the server. So one may see messages that the other doesn't.
