Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Why am I getting an error message,"windows can not find(my Yahoo mail launch address)"when accessing Yahoo mail site?

Using WindowsXP, and e-mail via Yahoo,browser is Firefox 4.0.I get the following error message when accessing yahoo mail site:"http://us.f831.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?action=welcome&yy=1782408664&.rand=0qrsdp1o...Windows can not find(the above address is inserted here).make sure you typed the name correctly,and try again". After this message is displayed on my desktop it begins to fade,and the inbox of my yahoo mail is then displayed..I am able to work all functions of the mail without problems.( I might add at this point that i access the mail program via a desktop icon).When I close out of the program the error message box with the error described above is displayed again on my desktop.I must click on the "X" to remove it.I can access my yahoo mail via Internet Explorer with no problem,as well as accessing via my yahoo home page.

Here's an image of the ERROR Message. I'm not sure how this forum works -- if this image is an attachment or if it shows up in the body of this reply.

WRT300N router dropping connection when browsing pages with Adobe Flash 9 content

My router seems to drop my wireless connection frequently when accessing web pages that contain Adobe Flash 9 content? I cannot find any settings or determine if there is anything I can change on the router to affect my performance? I am up on the latest firmware, so that is not the problem? Any help is appreciated.

I have the exact same problem. It's not every flash page ,just some. Power cycling the router gets it back, but it is getting annoying.
Anybody have any ideas?

Fix for Airserver or Reflector ( drops connection when call comes in )

Hey Guys
Today i am using AirServer and it works great to be able to show your IPad on you PC or MAC. The problem is that i am sharing a app that does a voice and video call and when the call connects it drops connection of the sharing on the MAC / PC. Once the Phone / Video connection is ended Airserver comes back up and works like advertised. (I just tried Reflector and they both work the same). Don't know if this a securty thing in IOS or not might be ? Any work arounds ? I already sent emails to both Airserver and Reflector. Open to other products if needed.
Does anyone know a solution which might work to be able to share the IPad / IPhone on PC / Mac and not drop the connection. If solution only works on a Mac that is fine as well.
Device
IPad 2 running IOS 7.0.4
Displaying to the following:
AirServer version 1.9.4.0 Windows on Win 7 32 bit.
AirServier version 4.8.1 on Mavericks on a Mac Book Air.
Thx
Dave

Still have the problem does anyone know a fix for this by chance ?>
Anyone know of a application or way to use a lightning to hdmi into a PC or Mac that would allow to show just half of the of the real estate on your monitor ( Similer to Airserver ?). I assume i need some capture card basically i want to be able to show half the screen with my IPAD and show a browser on the other half of the screen.
BTW I am using a IPad Air now running IOS 7.04 same thing.

Why has Firefox 16.0.2 under Windows 7 started to give "connection was reset" error only when accessing Yahoo Tech Goups, except first access of the day?

On first access of the day to Yahoo technical groups, I can always retrieve the opening screen, but get no further. Almost all subsequent accesses in that day to Yahoo tech groups using this computer return a "connection was reset error", although I have very occasionally seen a successful access. Rebooting the computer makes no difference. No other websites that I visit give this problem.
I am running Windows7 (auto updates) and Firefox 16.0.2. This is a problem that started about 3 weeks ago, possibly directly after a Windows7, Adobe Reader or a Firefox update. I have tried clearing all cookies and the cache in Firefox. The problem is not seen on other computers running different operating system versions or different browsers that are accessing the Yahoo site through the same internet gateway.

Thanks again for your suggestions and links. I have gone through those, and am sorry to say I am not really any further forward. I have also gone systematically through the yahoo cookies, deleting one at a time. The only one that makes any difference is the T cookie, which must retain the login status as deleting it forces a login at the next access. After a login I get up to about a minute of Yahoo tech group activity before the "connection was reset" error pervades. All the Yahoo cookies are back in place when this happens. Using Private Browsing makes no difference to this behaviour.

Router drops connection when another user joins.

I recently moved and am using a new router and internet setup, everything works fine until my roomate tries to connect, it will immediately drop both me and him and I get a limited access warning when trying to reconnect to the router.
The router in question is a WRT 110 linksys model
it works fine if one of us is logged on and it will work fine if after we get booted I unplug it for about 10 seconds but if one of us is using the internet and the other tries to get access we both get dropped. Scratching my head on this one.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Is it working now? Try to enable MAC cloning and clone your PC's MAC address. That should work.

WRT54G2 dropping connection when I use security

I can only get connection that is stable when I eliminate all security. I have gone through both levels of security on multiple computers and still cannot hold a stable connection unless I disable all security. Im looking for any advice I can get.

From your post, I assume that you are able to make a secure wireless connection, and that your Internet connection works through this secured wireless connection, but that you frequently loose your wireless connection --- is that all correct?
If so, then the most likely cause is that you simply have a poor wireless connection. Secured wireless requires a more solid wireless connection than is needed for unsecured wireless. So when you have a poor connection, your secured wireless is more likely to drop your connection. Note that you can have a poor wireless connection even if your computer shows "five bars".
There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions:
First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. If your router has external antenna, they should be vertical.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless adapter.
Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching to WPA encryption.
If you continue to have problems, try the following:
For wireless g routers, try setting the "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Hope this helps.

HP dropping connection when it goes to sleep.

I am running Windows 8 and my new HP Photosmart 7520 keep dropping the wireless conection when it goes to sleep. I see posts all over the net. Has anyone figured out the problem yet. I've tried scan doctor, no help.

Hi Swenn,
I would recommend following the document below - although you can skip the print and scan doctor until later, as you've just tried it.

No camera connected when accessing FaceTime

I used to have a camera connection automatically but, now when I access Face Time it states " no camera connected".

I don't know why, but the fix is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
(Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

Dropped connection when using Desktop and laptop

I have a Motorala cable modem connected to a Linksys 10/100 5-port Work Group Switch. I have my desktop connected to this switch and have a WRT5G Wireless Router connected also. The problem is that when my lap top is connected to the internet, the desktop does not connect and vice versa. When the desktop is connected, the laptop shows that there is a wireless connection, but the browser comes up saying no connection. Any advice?

Why exactly do you have this setup? The normal setup would be cable modem connecting to router. Computers (wired and wireless) connecting to router.
How exactly do you "connect" your desktop or laptop to the internet? What do you do to get a connection?
What you have is two devices connected directly the modem and thus your ISP. Unless the modem is actually a modem/router this won't work if your ISP does not allow more then 1 internet connection at a time.
I suspect this slightly setup is the actual problem. If you use the desktop, the desktop gets the IP address from the ISP. Now the desktop is using internet connection through the modem. Thus, your router cannot connect to the internet nor your laptop.
When your router connects to the internet it gets the IP address from the ISP. Again, the desktop cannot get an IP address anymore because the internet connection is already used.
The normal setup is that the internet port of your router is connected to the modem. The purpose of a router like the WRT is to share a single internet connection among several computers - wired and wireless.
Therefore I would suggest you connect the internet port of the WRT to the modem directly and hook up the desktop to a LAN port of the WRT. You can also connect the switch to a LAN port. Now desktop and laptop share the internet connection established by the WRT.

Iphone wifi dropping connection when locked

all in the title but, when locked it forgets the wi-fi password, and so i have to re enter it.
iphone 4
belkin wireless n router with wpa passphrase.

Are you hiding your network identification (SSID)? If you are doing that, it is a pretty common complaint. In either case, the fix is about the same:
Fix 1
When you are connected to your network, tap Settings > WiFi > and then tap the blue ">" next to the network name with the check mark.
The next screen will give you your connection information. Scroll until you find "Forget this Network" and tap that.
That should return you to the Settings > WiFi page. Tap Other, and then re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
Fix 2
tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Your Network Settings
When the iPhone restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > Other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
Fix 3 - if all else fails
Reboot your router (uun plug it from it's power source).

Mobile hotspot drops connection when call comes in

When my laptop is connect to internet via mobile hotspot on my pre I can't receive calls on the phone without loosing the internet. Is this normal? The hotspot connection stays on, but I can't work on the internet during a phone call.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

It's completely normal.
Sprint and Verizon use the CDMA network. It does not allow for simultaneous voice/data usage.
ATT with its GSM network does however.

Can't attach files in any email AOL, yahoo, or company. Also only shows blank page when accessing yahoo email.

In any web mail program AOL, Yahoo, my companies you can not attach files when composing an email. By the attach button/icon it says "no file selected" (or when you hover over it). This happens in safe mode also. Also browser speed is very slow. After logging in to my yahoo mail I get a blank page. In the title bar it says I have x amount of emails.
I reinstalled Firefox and for about 60 seconds it was fast and yahoo opened fine and I was able to attach emails in yahoo and my company account. After that it reverted back to being slow and not attaching and opening yahoo to a blank page.
I have run spybot and malware and removed all found threats. I believe something is infecting Firefox. IE and Chrome do not have this problem. Any help would be appreciated as I am at a loss.

antivirus was not a problem since there was not one installed. Firewall settings are fine. I did just finally resolve this issue. Spyhunter was able to detect a couple of hijackers that the other programs did not and this fixed the problem. As I stated in the original post I did suspect this was the issue. The lesson learned is to run multiple malware programs until you find one that eliminates the problem if you suspect malware as the problem.

Getting security certificate error message when accessing Yahoo Mail.

Whenever I navigate to the login page for Yahoo Mail I get a "sec_error_expired_certificate" error message. It says the certificate expired today, 11/29/11.
I do not get this error when I try to login through Internet Explorer.
I also recently experienced this issue when trying to login to Facebook.
I use AVG free anti-spyware as well as Spybot Search and Destroy. I run multiple scans daily and have had no negative reports (nothing found).
What do I need to do to resolve this issue? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Wireless phones drop connection when multiples phones on same AP

I'm attempting to find a solution as to why wireless phones drop the calls when there are multiple phones associated with an AP. The BW usage of the phones is a small fraction of the available BW. Call quality is OK with multiple phone associations, and a single phone on an AP does not drop a call.
There doesn't appear to be any pattern associated with the dropped calls. Not every phone drops a call, but this happens frequently.
Thank you.

Are these Cisco APs? If so, can enable QBSS.
For Cisco IOS, enter "dot11 phone". For Airespace is called "AP CAC Limit" in the WLAN config. This will send a Channel Utilization value to the phone for that AP's channel. If 12.3(7)JA or later, this will be CCA based value showing true channel utilization. This is on a 255 scale, where default limit for calls is 105. Can still receive incoming calls though when > 105.
The phone call shouldn't be dropped though even if AP association is lost, unless some device is disconnecting the call due to not receiving any RTP packets (i.e. Cisco CallManager Express). If this is a 7920, go to the 7920 site survey to view the CU value. The last # displayed will be the QBSS / CU value. If this somewhat > 0 (i.e. 30+ or so) without any 802.11 traffic present, then may want to investigate what devices or causing this load on the 802.11 channel. An option could be to move to another channel as well. Ensure non-overlapping channels are used though per 7920 scanning mechanism and to ensure seamless roaming.
If these are 7920s, recommend using 3.01 fw.
