Connecting to US Robotics wireless router

When the network started up the morning everything worked fine until a tiny powercut outage, when everything restarted the PCs connected OK wirelessly to the US Robotics router but the two Macs (new macbook pro, new macbook) will just not connect. Airport sees the USR modem but simply comes up with a window saying "there was a problem connecting to USR650 cancel or retry". Same on both macs although both connect fine using ethernet cable. Also both were running on battery when the powercut came so they were not affected in any way.
Tried restarting everything, no change.
The US Robotics does not have any wep key nor encryption.
Everything worked fine before the tiny power cut, all the settings on the router are OK and unchanged from previous settings.
  Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

I took a Netgear wi-fi router into the office and that connects fine so the problem is with the US robotics somewhere.
Just so I understand. Are you saying that your Macs can access the Internet when you substituted the Netgear for the US Robotics Wi-Fi router? If so, then it definately sounds like a problem with your US Robotics wireless capability.

  • My iPad will no longer connect to my Linksys wireless router.  Every other electronic device in our house connects just fine.  What can I do?

    I have an iPad (the earliest version) that used to connect to my Linksys wireless router with no difficulty.  One night recently I could not get on the internet through my iPad.  I checked the Wi-Fi information, which said it was not connected.When I go through the process of choosing a network, on which my home system is clearly listed along with a very strong signal strength, I am told that my iPad is unable to join my own network.  All the other electronic devices in our house are connected and functioning fine.  Can anyone walk me through the steps to correct this problem?
    I need to add that I took my iPad to the Appple store, and the clerk there reset something--I don't know what--and my iPad was able to connect to their network.  When I came home, though, I was not able to connect to my home network.

    If everything else is connecting with no issues, I would go into the wifi setting on the iPad and redo the info there, user, password and anything else related to your wifi at your house.
    It is possible whatever he reset may have reset something to default setting which will not allow it to connect. If you need too then verify the wifi setting by comparing it with another device setting that works on your home network.
    Good luck

  • Connecting Airport to Existing Wireless Router

    This is driving me mad.....
    I have a wireless router from my ISP and I can connect to the internet wirelessly with Vista PC, XP PC, iPad and my MacBook Air. I got an airport so I can plug it into a printer and my stereo. When I try to setup the airport to join my existing network it goes off to reset then disapears from the airport utility then is no longer visible when I select my network back to the existing wireless network. I've tried everything and must have et it back to factory default a 100 times. On the last go my wireless network completly stopped working. This should be simple right ?
    The router is using WEP, password is correct, etc. Can I not do what I want with this device and I need to connect it to the wireless router with a cable from the airport ethernet ?
    Please help before I chuck the airport in the bin......

  • Ipod touch 1st generation can't connect to my linksys wireless router wr110. THe signal is strong and there is a check mark beside my network name, but when I try to open safari it says "unable to find server".

    My friends MacBook connected easily to my wireless, but why not the ipod touch? When prompted for "Password" I enter the security key info and nothing, nadda....zip.  The MacBook asks for the "Security Key" info not "Password", like the touch. What's the difference?

    Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.

  • Can't connect 2nd mac to wireless router

    Hello,
    I have a macbook pro set up with airport extreme which runs to my d-link wireless router which is connected to an external modem. I want to set up my second mac to do the same. Do I need to connect it to the network of the first mac? Every time I try I get error message. Or, do I set up an independant network for the second mac, if so how? I can't seem to get anywhere with this.
    thanx

    Hello kagamushu. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Just so I understand your network configuration, is it something like the following?
    Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > D-Link Wireless Router > (wireless) > MacBook Pro
    If so, then you only need to configure the AirPort Extreme card on your second Mac to access the D-Link wirelessly.

  • Dial up connection sharing via WRT54G wireless router

    Can someone help me out?  Here's my issue
    I have an XP based desktop computer that connects to the internet via a dial up 56K modem.  I would like to share the connection with my new XP vista laptop using the wireless adapter on the laptop.  I have a Linsys WRT54G wireless router.  The desktop pc with the connection I want to share is connected to the router via ehternet cable.  How do I go about configuring the laptop wireless & the router to allow for this.   I assigned a static ip 192.168.1.253 to my desktop from the router (192.168.1.100).  When I enable ICS it changes the ethernet to 192.168.0.1.

    Your connection download speed should be about the same 8-9Mbits, whether you are wired directly to your modem, or wired through your router .
    You said you reset the router to factory defaults and that it was working better.  Did the download connection speed through the router go to 8-9Mbits/sec ?  If it is still 5-6 Mbits, then this suggests that something in your modem-router system is not setup quite right.  If you still have this slow speed problem, then please post the following info:
    1)  Your ISP (internet service provider)
    2)  Your modem model number and version.
    3)  Open your router's setup pages, and go to the Setup tab.  List all your settings in the "Basic Setup - Internet Setup"  section.
    4)  List the operating system (Windows XP, Win 98SE, etc.) on the wired computer that you are using for the test.
    After you list this info, hopefully someone in this community will be able to guide you to optimizing your settings, given your ISP and equipment. 

  • Connection problems after installing wireless router: frequent "Server not found"

    I recently got a Linksys wireless router but since then, a lot of webpages show "server not found" frequently. I can eventually open these if I keep refreshing the page or come back to it later. This only happens to my desktop PC connected by a cable but never happens to our 3 laptops with wireless connection. The LAN cable changed but problem persists. Desktop PC swapped but problem still persists. Is this simply a defective router?

    What is the model no of the router...?
    Try changing the MTU size to 1350 on the router and power cycle the router and check..

  • My Macbook Pro doesnt seem to connect to my Belkin wireless router. It is connected but the internet would not work. any suggestions?

    hey guys. I am having trouble with my internet. My MacBook Pro seems to be connected with Belkin wireless router, but the internet would not work. We recently changed the router so its pretty new, and it used to work on my HP laptop. Although there were some problems, it still worked. But now, the internet works and stops suddenly, and then works again.
    I would love to hear some suggestions to get rid of this.
    Thanks
    Kiran

    If you have not already done so, read the troubleshooting section in Belkin's user manual, contact their customer tech support by phone or go to its website.  Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.

  • Very Slow internet connection with WRT150-N Wireless Router

    I have a WRT150-N wireless router hooked up downstairs to the modem and I am upstairs right now with internet that is very slow, it shows it is 18 megabytes/second and the connection says poor (i have a wireless G card in this computer).  I have another computer that is about 10 feet away from the router with a wireless N card and it says that the connection is 160 megabytes/second, but again it is running very very slow.  The third computer is back upstairs by this one and it has a Wireless N USB adapter and is running about 170 megabytes per second.  They are all about the same speed in opening websites but again are very slow to do so.  Any ideas on what is going on or how I can get it faster?

    First of all, the speeds you are quoting all sound like Mbps (megabits per second) connection speeds, not data throughput speeds.  You really need to measure your actual download speed to tell what is actually going on with your system.
    Use speedtest.net and test your system.  Turn off all other computers except the test computer.  Test under the following conditions:
    1)  connect one computer, by wire, directly to your modem
    2)  connect the same computer, by wire, directly to your router
    3)  connect the same computer wireless to your router
    4)  connect your other computers, wirelessly to the router, one at a time
    Also, state the speed that you are paying your ISP for.
    Report your download and upload speeds for all of the above tests.
    Note that the speed that you are paying for should be about the same as your results from test 1 and 2 above.
    After you have done these tests, it will be much easier to tell where the problem is. 

  • Slow initial connection to internet via wireless router

    Hi,
      I have a D-Link Xtreme N 450 wireless router that I used with a MacBook Pro running 10.9.3.  When I first open the computer, the internet quickly connects (I can surf, get email, etc), but after a few seconds it disconnects, searches for a wireless router, and then gives me the exclamation point in the wireless icon.  It stays down for a 1-3 minutes, then mysteriously reconnects.  I've looked everywhere for a solution and cannot seem to find one.  I ran wireless diagnostics and got one error message that may be the problem - it says a nearby wireless router has the wrong country code and could be causing problems.  But has anyone else had this issue or think they know of a potential solution?
    Thanks!

    am in the DFW area using Verizon Fios - I have a D-Link DIR-655 router and a 24" Imac running Mac OS X 10.5.1. I purchased the Apple Airport router thinking the problem with internet speed might be my router. This was not the case - every computer in the house was much slower using the Airport - so I returned it to my Apple store.
    I have now switched off the bluetooth and airport on my Mac - it is hooked straight into the router and every day at about 6:00 it slows down to turtle speed while my other 2 laptops that are wireless in the house and much older - are lightening fast.
    I have called Verizon and had them out - they say there are not enough people on Fios to create any traffic problems at certain times of the day - which I believe being that the Apple Imac is the only computer with the problem.
    I have downloaded Firefox and have the exact same problem.
    There has got to be some solution for this - my speed checks out very fast during this time - T2 speed for download and upload - I'm ready to throw this apple out the window.

  • Booted off Broadband connection with new WRT54g Wireless Router

    I recently moved to a new place with Comcast Broadband.  My boyfriend and I both want to access the Internet so we got a Linksys Wireless Router to connect our computers to the broadband connection.  It's not going very well, however, because almost daily we are booted off the Internet.  I called Comcast and they said the Modem is working fine, which just leaves the Router.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing this?
    Thanks,
    Patricia

    How did Comcast determined that your modem is working fine? When you are connected directly to modem , do you have the same problem? because if you do, then it would have the same problem with the router, no matter what you do with the router. Try isolating problem by checking if the connection would drop when you are connected directly to modem.
    If through isolation process you found out that modem is stable, there might be a problem with router itself or that the router isn't properly configured, is your computer wired or wireless? how about your boyfriend's?
