"Connection Failed" - Belkin access point

When trying to connect wirelessly on my Macbook to my Belkin access point, I enter my WPA and it just comes up with "Connection Failed"....Im running 10.5.5.
Cheers

I use an unprotected belkin point and that use to happen to me, then I realised I just had no signal - as in while its connecting i lifted it up like to get better reception.

  • Forgetting WiFi password, and not connecting to wireless access point automatically??

    I'm using (until tomorrow when I get a MacBook Pro which HOPEFULLY won't have the same problem) a pre 2007 Macbook which is running Mac OS X 10.5.8. It was previously owned by my brother and passed onto me about 4 months ago. Within that time I've had nothing but problems with the WiFi connection!
    The first issue would have to be that if I put the MacBook to "sleep" rather than turning off, it disconnects from WiFi during that process. Fine, that's to be expected. But when I wake it up, it's not only disconnected, but I have to re-enter my WiFi password in order to reconnect. Is there some reason that it will not remember the password through this sleep process? Turning off and on normally works fine, and it connects automatically, but not when it sleeps.
    The second problem is equally confusing to my mind. In my house, we have a wireless access point upstairs (we have 3 floors after having our attic converted). All characteristics (name, password etc) are the same on the access point as on the main router downstairs. Every device in our house, included a couple of android phones, a tablet, and two laptops running various versions of Windows, all connect to this wireless access point with no problem at all. None of them have been "set up" to do so, in that they detect it as part of the same network and join it automatically. But for some reason, my MacBook won't do it? At first I would assume that perhaps it's due to the age of my MacBook and maybe some flaw in the old operation system, but my iPhone 4S running iOS 7 doesn't connect to this access point either. Is this some weird security thing that Apple use in their devices??
    To make things even more frustrating, the MacBook's issue of remembering the WiFi password means that when I come back downstairs and into range of the main router, it's forgotten the password again and I have to re-enter it to reconnect.
    Can some PLEASE offer some kind of assistance? I'm getting a brand new MacBook Pro tomorrow and if it's an OS issue then I assume I won't have it anymore, but I'm desperate to solve this issue one way or another considering this machine will be staying in the family and in this house so will pressumably have the same issues.
    Thanks in advance guys! If I've not given enough info, just ask

  • How do I see the clients that are connected to the access point?

    Hello,
    In Wireless Control System (WCS), how do I see all the clients that are connected to the Access Point? I can do a particular search that if I know the mac address. But what I really like to know is that which clients is connected to the network. That means it sould be able to show me, example, Client A is connected to AP 1. The problem in WCS is that I can't do that. Can some please advice how I am able to do this? Thanks.

    Two ways:
    First:
    Under monitor, go to Access Points, then chose the target AP and click on it to open a menu, go to the Current Associated Clients tab.
    Second:
    User the search tool on your upper right corner, type in the target AP name, execute the search, on the results, click view list, on the list chose you AP and then go to the Current Associated Clients tab.
    Enjoy.
    Phil.

  • The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken.

    At random points throughout my laptop usage, I randomly disconnect from the internet and receive these 2 messages:
    1. The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken.
    2. The default gateway is not available.
    It fixes the issue for a short period of time, but constantly happens. This is really starting to annoy me. I have no problems on any other internet, and other people i live with are connected with no issues to the internet. I have tried a number of solutions
    online that has "worked" for others to no success such as resetting the router, fooling around with command prompt, and changing the performance settings to not drop internet when low on power. Does anyone have a solution for my technical problems?
    I am running Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo ideapad that is less than a year old. I will be honest I am not a very knowledgeable person when it comes to computers, so please use simplified explanations.

  • IPhone 5 only able to connect 1 wifi access point

    My phone will successfully connect to any access point I attempt to connect to. However, if my phone has ever connected to another access point, I must explicitly forget the previous access point in order to connect to another one. If I attempt to connect to a new access point without first forgetting the other access point, it will continually reject my password as invalid for the new access point. As soon as I either forget the other access point (or perform iOS network reset operation), I can connect fine to the new access point.
    This is hugely frustrating. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Has anyone found the issue to this? I'm having the same exact problem and have tried all the resets

  • User unable to connect to new access point AIR-CAP3502P-S-K9

    Hi Guys,
              In my branch there are 8 access points[ AIR-CAP3502I-S-K9 ] connected to Wireless controller which is been working fine since the beginning.. I had to add two more access points to this branch and after the failure, i realised this Access point [ AIR-CAP3502P-S-K9 ] is latest and it needs the minimum image 7.3.101.. So i did a upgrade on WLC 5508 and all 10 access points have joined successfully...
    Issue am facing is when NEW users come under AP 9 and AP 10 get associated successfully, but the old users(Projetc Manager) who been in the branch for very long and able to get associated with other AP's [1 to 8] gets associated successfully with all old AP's but not with the new AP's..
    Could please some one advise, why this strange behaviour... I googled for answer but am not getting any right solution...

    Do you have AP Groups configured? 
    The old wireless clients, are their drivers up to date?

  • Logging devices connected to autonomous access points

    Is there a way to log the devices that connect to a particular SSID of an autonomous access point?  If yes, will you please show me a configuration example that will allow me to send that data to a logging server? If possible I will need to do this on 1250, 1240 and 1140 series access points.
    Thanks!

    I suppose this all depends on "what" excatly you are wanting to log.  I haven't tried this, but you should be able to send SNMP traps to a remote SNMP receiver (client associations or failures, interfaces status, etc).  Take a look at the AP IOS Configuration Guide, see what you think, and whether or not the SNMP traps you can send are of value to you.  I have anchored this to the Configuring System Message Logging section: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4.25d.JA/Configuration/guide/scg12.4.25d.JA-chap21-msg-logging.html#wp1002608
    If you are wanting to capture more granular information, such as session lengths, data traffic, internet usage, etc; for monitoring or reporting, that would probably require an appliance of a higher level.

  • HP photosmart 7520 connects to wrong access point and looses connection

    I recently installed a remote wireless access point in an outbuilding.  I'm using a router with the same SSID and password as my main router with the same security settings.  Only the main router is set to issue IP addresses.  The system works fine with two laptops, a desktop, an Ipad and an Ipod.  It provides continuous connections from my house to the outbuilding.  Only the HP Photosmart seems to be an issue.  At first the system worked fine then after a couple of days it lost its connection.  I tried to the Wireless Setup Wizzard with no success.  The Wireless Network Test results indicated that MAC address filtering may be enabled.  This is not the case, MAC filtering in not enabled on either router.  The next morning the printer was fine and connected again.  I suspect that it is detecting the remote router and trying to connect through it.  During the setup a warning came up indicating that two routers were detected with the same SSID and Password and that the printer might try to connect to the wrong router.  It should not matter since the remote router connects and is issued IP addresses through the main router.  The only difference in the routers is the BSSID.  This uses the same number as the  MAC filtering address, so I suspect this may be the problem.  Any suggestions on a work around.  The only thing I have found that solves the problem is turning off the remote router.

    Hello there -
    Is it possible your new remote access point only supports the 5Ghz band for N connection, or that it's connected to your primary router through a wireless N connection in the 5Ghz band?  The 7520 only supports 2.4Ghz N connections.  If your primary access point supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, that is likely why it's able to connect there while it cannot connect to the new access point.  Many newer laptops and iPad/pods utilize 5Ghz N, which would explain why they can connect and your 7520 cannot.  I'd recommend moving the 7520 closer to the primary router and using AirPrint to send your jobs.

  • Connection between lightweight access point and switch?

    Hello everybody,
    I am a bit confused about cisco 1000 series access point connection. On wireless lan controller and lightweight access point basic configuration example document id 69719 (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_configuration_example09186a0080665cdf.shtml), I understood the access point has two vlans associated with (vlan 3 and 4). Am I correct?
    Why is connection between access point and catalyst port just access port rather 802.1q trunk? How vlan traffic can traverse from the access point to controller?
    Please advice.
    Many thanks,
    Nitass

    Nitass,
    The AP itself does not need to be a trunked port, but the uplink to the controller does. When using a Lightweight enviroment, all the traffic passes thru an encrypted LWAPP tunnel from the AP to the controller, and then gets sent out the correct VLAN interface on the controller.

  • Make airport connect to specific access point?

    Hi. I am at a hotel at the moment. The WiFi here is rubbish. When I'm connected it works fine until I disconnect and come back. The problem is when I connect I get a self assigned IP address. I believe it is something to do with the fact that they have 2 access points and one is configured with DHCP wrong. Anyway one is on channel 11 and one is on channel 2 and I was wondering if there was a way to force airport to connect to the one that works.

    there's many possibilities,you should provide more detailed information about your environment, for example: AP model/firmware version, laptop model/OS/wirless card driver, parameters configured in the AP and laptop.
    Typically there're some possible reasons:
    1. laptop wirless driver bug or compatibility issue with AP
    2. No matter what reasons, if your laptop had already associated to the outside AP(for example, inside AP powered up later; there's some time, the inside AP lost connection to laptop), if the outside AP's signal had not dropped to a very poor strength level(roaming threshold), your laptop will not roam to a better signal inside AP

    I have seen the same issue working with a different vendors wireless solution. When I sniffed the air with OmniPeek and the network the ap was on with WireShark, I see the arp request for the gateway go to the router, the reply from
    the gateway router is sent out to the suspect machine in the air, the PC ack's the packet but never populates the arp cache. I have looked at both arp responses in a working vs failing scenario, both packets are the same. 
    The only way I have been able to resolve it was to disable IP Helper (start up too) from Services, reboot the machine. I was seeing 3 to 4 drops per day but since disabling this Service the machines I have been testing with have not seen the

    IP Helper:

    Dell Latitude E6420
    The ip helper service change was made on 40 laptops, a dozen of which would fail in about an hour. So far 0 out of the 40 has seen the issue since making the change and rebooting (rebooting is key after the disable) the laptops. It's
    been about 5 days.
    Any reason why disabling this Service fixes the issue? With it on I can replicate the issue pretty quickly on a few different machine types so it does not seem to be driver or wireless nic vendor specific. I've checked through the

  • Able to locate wifi but cannot connect to any access point, able to locate wifi but cannot connect to any access point

    IPod touch G3 won't connect to any wireless network. The device can locate and recognize all the networks around including signal strenght and whether or not they are secured. If the networks are secured a password is prompted for as expected. Still the message: "Unable to join the network "[network name]"" is displayed. I've been researching this for a while now with no luck. Here's what I've tried:
    Verified wifi is on
    Verified wifi password
    Reset network settings on IPod
    Reset all settings on IPod
    Updated to latest iOS release
    Restored to the earliest release possible iOS
    Complete wipe and setup as new iPod Touch
    Reset wireless router
    Verified other iDevices can connect to the Wifi (MacBook, second iPod Touch (G3), Iphone, etc.)
    Tested on additional wireless (public) networks around town
    Verified WPA is active and works with iPod Touch
    Manually entered all IP settings for specific wireless network (dns, subnet, ip, etc.)
    None of the above have produced anything than the original error: "Unable to join the network "[network name]""

    You did an excellent job at troubleshooting and telling us what you did.  My only suggestion is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you covered all the items that I wold suggest.

    Hi all
    is it possible to get my wireless clients to connect without a wpa password, for guest logins ?

    Hi There
    how will my wireless connect when using webauth, does that mean the traffic is unencrypted ??
    will my pc automatically connect to the wireless when there is no auth set on the controller ?

  • How many clients can be connected to an Access Point

    Hi friend,
    I want to know how many clients can be connected in Cisco AP 1140.
    Best Regard,
    Marco.

    Hi,
    As Stephen mention the best answer is it depends.
    What you need to keep in mind is that wireless is halfduplex and a shared medium and due to this the bandwith will go down per client.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps430/products_qanda_item09186a008009483e.shtml
    Q. How many clients can associate to the AP?
    A. The AP has the physical capacity to handle 2048 MAC  addresses, but, because the AP is a shared medium and acts as a wireless  hub, the performance of each user decreases as the number of users  increases on an individual AP. Ideally, not more than 24 clients can  associate with the AP because the throughput of the AP is reduced with  each client that associates to the AP.
