Downgraded Firmware in Wireless AP/Router worked for me with iOS6

Update - Got it working.  I have a Netgear wireless access point WG102, it was running the latest firmaware 5.0.3 NA - I then DOWNGRADED it to firmware 5.0.1 and wa-la it works.
Not sure I like running older firmware, but at least iOS6 will connect to my Wi-Fi (WPA2/PSK) AES!

From what I gathered, about the Y2P Limited Wifi issue, this problem is solved by configurating a router to meet the computer needs. Once done, to fully implement this fix, it is adviced  that you carry this configured router and use it every where you go, like a power cord. When you go to Statbuck in the monrining, be sure they hook up your router and return it when you leave. Alternitively, this can be done at other venues like the airport, hotel, school, work, etc. 
I really don't know why people keep wasteing their time. Lenovo has chimed in and said this is a router issue. That said, the aformentioned advice is a formulated fix.  Shall we put an end to thiese topics and get the forum moving again past the wifi issues? Like said many times, this issue has been fixed using the above reccomendation.

  • Non-Wireless Capable Router/Modem for Xfinity???

    Non-Wireless Capable Router/Modem for Xfinity/Comcast???
    Apologies up front since I’m sure I have the terminology wrong, but here’s the situation:
    Currently we have a modem (or router or cable-modem, I don’t know the difference) that we rent from Xfinity/Comcast. It is a Model DHG536C, Thomson RCA. I’m pretty sure (but not 100% sure) that this doesn’t have any wireless signal emanating from it. On one side of this box is a cable TV type connector from the outside world, and on the other is an Ethernet-type cable.
    The Ethernet-type cable goes from this Comcast box to our Apple Airport Extreme. This is the 6th generation model ME918LL/A 802.11AC.  From the Airport Extreme we send internet access to Apple devices through the house, both via wireless and also cables (USB and Ethernet).
    Comcast sent us a “free” replacement modem (we rent the modem from them) a year or two ago so that we could take advantage of some new capabilities they installed on our line (don’t know specifically what they were, but possibly speedier access). However, the install was a bit of a nightmare since the replacement they sent also emitted a wireless signal and there were issues between the wireless emitted between by their new modem versus our Airport Extreme. Comcast is justifiably not renowned for their customer support, and given my lack of computer knowledge, I couldn’t figure it out. So we returned the upgrade modem and stayed with our old one.
    We are now getting requests from Comcast to throw out our old modem and install another new one. So here’s the question: can we get a modem that doesn’t emit a wireless signal, that just converts the cable signal from outside the house into an Ethernet cable that we can plug into our Airport Extreme? That way we shouldn’t run into any of the issues we had last time.
    And two related questions:
    Will this noticeably speed up our internet service? We’re actually happy with what we have right now but perhaps we are just used to it.
    Can I buy this new modem on Amazon or from Apple to bypass Comcast (to get rid of the monthly rental fee, and to get something that may have better customer support)?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    And any teaching/education about the proper name for the Comcast “box” without wireless, and our Airport Extreme would be fun as well (router, modem, cable-modem, etc).
    Thank you!

    So here’s the question: can we get a modem that doesn’t emit a wireless signal, that just converts the cable signal from outside the house into an Ethernet cable that we can plug into our Airport Extreme?
    Simple modems do exist, but the question would be whether one of them would be compatible with the Comcast service.  So, you really have a question for Comcast support here.
    The question would be whether Comcast can provide a simple modem.........like you have now.......and not a modem/router or gateway type of device, which you really don't need, since you already have a router, and just need a simple modem.
    Will this noticeably speed up our internet service? We’re actually happy with what we have right now but perhaps we are just used to it.
    Possibly, if you are already paying for faster service, but your current modem is not capable of working at higher speeds.  Again, a question for Comcast support here.
    Can I buy this new modem on Amazon or from Apple to bypass Comcast (to get rid of the monthly rental fee, and to get something that may have better customer support)?
    Possibly, if Comcast can provide you with a list of modems that will work with their service.  Apple does not make modems, so they would not be able to help on that product.

  • Is there a car charger and fm frequency transmitter for iPhone with IOS6?

    is there a car charger and fm frequency transmitter for iPhone with IOS6?

    Here is something interesting about car chargers and the iPhone 3G:
    From Macworld:
    On to the power adapters. Here’s the story: We learned a while back that iPhone 3G doesn’t support charging “via FireWire.” The thing is, there are lots of devices out there that don’t actually have a FireWire port, but are technically FireWire chargers because they’re sending power on the dock-connector pins that were used for power by the FireWire interface. There are a lot of reasons for this, chief among them the fact that the FireWire spec allows as much a 18 volts, while USB is a 5-volt connection. Since cars provide 12 volts of power, many if not most car-chargers used the FireWire method to send power.
    However, in the interests of space and simplicity (i.e., not having to engineer for two separate power paths), Apple has dropped support for FireWire charging with the iPhone 3G. This means that many accessories won’t charge an iPhone 3G. Borchers said that Apple gave accessory developers a strong hint that this was going to happen a while ago, but he said that some companies have continued to implement FireWire-based chargers despite the warning.
    But there’s some hope in sight: Borchers told me that at least a couple of third parties will be releasing converters that will pass through the dock connection, but convert the power to a USB standard. That adapter may make many of those charging devices come back to life

  • Printer keeps dropping wireless connection after working for a while

    My computer stops being able to communicate with the printer wirelessly even thought the printer says it is connected to the network and both the printer and computer are on the same network. What happens is I connect the printer to the network and print something from my computer. Then, after a short while, half an hour maybe, when the printer shows it is connected to the network, I try to print but my computer can't find the printer. The message say the printer cannot be found. If I go to the printer, and reconnect with the wireless connection wizard I can print. But after a short time, I won't be able to print again and have to do the wireless connection wizard again. Wireless direct is off. Don't know if that matters. 

    These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
    Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual). This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here (Windows solution 4, static IP).
    Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off/Sleep' is disabled.  Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS). Also check your Printers Properties.
    If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer.
    If needed and you assigned a static IP address, try using 8.8.8.8 for the Preferred DNS server and 8.8.4.4 at the Alternate DNS server. 
    In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information) 
    Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest. 
    Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router. 
    Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode. 
    Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
    If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same, they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
    SSID broadcast must be enabled.
    Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins.  Power on router wait 2 mins. 
    Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router. 
    Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?
    Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Center/Advanced sharing settings.
    Under Home or Work (current profile) / Network Discovery.
    Select "Turn on network discovery" and save changes.

  • Does a NETGEAR - Wireless-N Router work with a the dell mini g card?

    I want to purchase a dell laptop with a dell mini g card. Will the Netgear Wireless-N Router Model- WNR2000 work with it? It's extra for the dell mini n card. I don't want to have to pay extra for that if I don't have to. Thanks

    Unless you are transferring a large amount of data between computers or a media device attached to a home theater system, wireless N is merely going to give you better range.

  • Assign Source of supply is not working for contract with material group

    Dear Experts,
    I have searched all the threads and gone through before posting my query. So i would ask moderators to go through the thread properly before rejecting this.
    We have value contracts with respect to a particular material group without material and with item category W in the contract item, Please note that for the materials with this material group, the source determination is not set and source list is also not maintained.
    When we create PR for the material with this contract, and when we click on assign source of supply contracts used to get popped up, but recently from few days, when we click on assign source of supply we are getting an error " no source found for this item ".
    Can anybody help on this.
    Regards

    @ Biju,
    As mentioned earlier, we are not creating PR with reference to contract.
    first we are creating contract with item category W (material group), without material and plant details.
    we create PR with or without material with account assignment K and with the material group in the transaction ME51N, and after inputting all the fields, we click on assign source of supply, it was proposing the existing contracts with respect to material group earlier, but it is not happening for particular material group(it is working for all other material groups)
    Hope it is clear.
    @ Dev Patra,
    we are using DIEN-Service material types and we assign that particular material group to only service material type.
    we have not ticked, source list in the material master, we donot have any source list for the materials under that material group.( please check the note 457110- question number 14.)

  • Mac OSX v10.6.5: How's it working for you with Premiere Pro CS5?

    If you've installed Mac OSX v10.6.5, let us know how it's working for you.
    Please make sure that you're using the most recent update for Premiere Pro CS5 before you report back. We don't want to waste our time disentangling problems that were actually fixed in Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) from issues that still exist.

    So, here is my experience:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/751458?tstart=0
    Basically:
    Premiere Pro does not want to play the timeline (or the source window) anymore.  Sometime it plays for 2 minutes, sometime for 2 seconde and then stops, but most of time, it wont play at all.
    I can scroll over my timeline (no sound scrolling), but when I hit space bar (or clic on the play button) I can see the play button turning into a square (which mean it's now the stop button), but the timecodes doesn't run and the image doesn't play.
    So I suggest people to not being stupid as I was and to wait before to update... And hope a solution to come soon.

  • My iMessage doesn't work for some with iPhones

    WWhy does iMessage not work for some thst have iPhone? For example day 1 text went as iMessage day 2 changed to sms

    Hi,
    1) That iPhone  may not be registered with the iMessages Servers.
    Several variants of that:-
    2) the iPhone has lost power/is out of range and been "de-registered".
    3) Twice my iPhone has become set to Not Receive on the iPhone Number - the User cannot change this - but it has happened. After a while if this is not spotted it loses the link with the Apple ID as well.
    4) It is not entirely clear if you Block someone in iMessages whether the iPhone still gets SMS versions.
    It appears you might have to block them for Phone  (and therefore related services like SMS) as well as iMessages.
    5) iMessages servers having a bad day.

  • What shock/flash wave player might work for me with no hangs

    For about a year I have tried to make adobe flash player/shockwave player work for you tube videos and other links I go to. I have tried all the "download latest flashplayer" stuff. Just did it a few days ago and have 11.9 etc. And you update my FF every time you want to.
    My laptop has no problems. Can I revert to the version of FF on my laptop on this main comp, and the version of Adobe Flash on my laptop, so that I can continue to use FF? Otherwise I am going to Chrome with all of my bookmarks et al.
    I just read a thread where you seemed to blame Adobe for this. Uh, you might want to think again.
    DO NOT tell me to download the latest Adobe. I did that 3 days ago. WHY can't you get your code to work with them? Or why don't they write code that lets FF in?
    Like I said a year of trying to make you work for me and I give up.

    I found a solution to the flash player crashes within Firefox, and have not had a single flash playser crash in 6 months at least. The solution involves creating a task to run at regular intervals to delete certain prefetch files. NOT all of them as it is NOT necessary to delete them all.
    I have wrote a script that will create the folder structer in programdata/scripts/ and place the exe that actually does the deleting, and have successfully imported the task into task scheduler.
    This should resolve all Flash player crashes within Firefox. I posted the information here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968190?page=6#answer-511132
    That script is not 100% Automated in the above link, but will get you started.
    I have one that i have been able to fully automate, You would just need to check task scheduler in Windows 7 to confirm it will successfully import on its own.
    I am looking for testers to confirm this works. This should work on windows 7 64 and 32 bit. Not tested on Windows 8

  • Why EPCM.donavigate doesnt work for Iview with isolation type embedded

    I am using EPCM.donavigate in JavaScript  in portal jspdynpage to navigate to different page. This works fine when my iView  isolation method is URL but it doesnt work when it is embedded. Am I missing something here? some import?
    Regards,

    Hi,
    In Javacript of Portal jsp page, we are calling EPCM.doNavigate method  as below:
       function callfunc(obj,externalLink,rid,portalPageURL,InvalidLink)
                   return EPCM.doNavigate('ROLES://' + obj)     
    Final URL look something like this...

    This Code works only for Iviews with URL Isolation but doesnt work with Embedded Iviews as my Page which contains this Iviews is also Embedded and Desktop is also embedded.

  • IBooks really not available for devices with iOS6 and lower?

    Hi,
    this official article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4059 states that iBooks should be available for "iPhone and iPod touch with iOS 4 or later."
    I've presented my old 3GS to my cousin, she likes reading. After resetting the device and registering with her Apple-ID she is not able to install iBooks. In the app store it surprisingly states that at minimum iOS7 is requried. Really?
    Question: how do we get iBooks on a 3GS with iOS6 when it wasn't loaded there before with a given Apple-ID?
    BR,
    Martin

    Thank you so much for this prompt answer! Will try this out, of course. But anyway, why it needs to be that ugly and complicated? And do we argree that the support article is simply wrong on this?
    Thanks again,

  • What wireless router works for lion 10.7.3

    I need info to for wireless router for lion 10.7.3 but bit air port one

    Well, I've looked at AE too, but as I understand it, unlike most routers, Airport extreme doesn't contain a modem, so you'll still need a modem/router (since as far as I know you can't buy modems that aren't routers anymore, can you?) to connect Airport Extreme to the phone/DSL line.
    This is the principle reason I haven't moved to AE, but I must admit it doesn't make sense to me why Apple wouldn't have put a modem in AE, too.
