EA3500 drops VPN connections via wireless

I don't have problems with the computer on other wireless connections with using VPN, so its not the laptop. If I am connecting just to the internet and not trying to connect to the VPN i don't have any issues. If I connect a CAT5 cable directly to the laptop I don't have any issues. If I try to connect via the wireless the VPN will connect and then drop, usually every 30 to 60 seconds. I have looked at the settings and can't see any that would make a difference. Any suggestions on what might be happening and what I need to change on the settings?
thanks

Maybe the wireless connection is not enough to handle wireless VPN connection. Try adjusting the wireless settings to improve the signal. Change the wireless channel under the 2.4 GHz to 6, 9, 11, and 1. And use 161 or 157 for the 5 GHz band.

Connecting via wireless & blue square?

hello
I'm connecting to the www via my router and when it's not possible to connect I seem to be connecting via a blue square on the toolbar ,anyway what is this and can it be switched off because I only want to connect via wireless router or hotspot
Thanks

Hey macbookair,
The Blue square means GPRS: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306795
Try the Wi-Fi tips listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
Forgetting the network or resetting network settings will probably take care of it.
If the iPhone still cannot join the Wi-Fi network give us a little more information about the specific wireless router you are connecting to and the security being used. Also Include the number of characters in the network password.

VPN connect via menu extra fails, but works via prefpane - anybody else?

Is anybody out there with the same symptom, getting an error message when trying to establish a VPN connection via VPN menu extra but being able to connect properly via networking prefpane? Would be interesting to know if this could be a bug worth sending a report to Apple...
PB G4, Mac OS X 10.5.5

Tim, you made it. Another example for that famous tricky problems after OS migration. I had the VPN prefs already on Mac OS X 10.4 and trusted them on Mac OS X 10.5 after their automatic
adoption too...
Thx mate!

AnyConnect on Apple iOS - VPN-Connect via HTTP-Proxy

Hi,
is it possible, that the AnyConnect-Client for Apple iOS (i.e. iPAD) automatically uses the configured HTTP-Proxy in the WLAN properties for the establishment of the VPN-Connection (via SSL/TLS)?
I've tested it, but it does not work. In the documentation is stated, that VPN establishment via HTTP-Proxy works only in Windows (AnyConnect uses the IE Proxy settings to connect to the ASA for VPN establishment).
Thanks

->Is this something wrong?

I have two Buildings i need to connect via wireless

I have one Building with The Main Internet Connection. It has 1- wireless-G access point (wap54g v3) and 1-wireless-B ethernet bridge (wet11 v2)
The other Structure i cant run wire cause of a water hazzard between the buildings. Building two has 1- Wireless-N Broadband Router(wrt300n)
With These 3 Products what can i do using what i have to connect, connect building 1 to building 2 via wireless? Or am i in need of another wireless router of sorts?
help and documentation would help. I just was dropped into this and had a day or two to fingure a solution out.
Thank you

The Computers which are connected to WRT300N on Building Two are they able to go online throught the Router? Then i would suggest you to get an Ethernet Bridge, As your ethernet bridge is older B series and it wont communicate with your Router properly, Either you can Get a G Series or N Series Ethernet Bridge ( WET54G , WET600N).
On Building 1 you need to input the wireless settings as you have set on your WRT300N Router. Once you configure all the settings on your Bridge, then you can connect the Bridge to an switch and then connect your Access Point to the Swtich and configure all the settings on your WAP54G. And this will let all your computers go online Wirelessly and Wired as well.

MiFi 4620LE dropping VPN Connection

I am currently having problems with our 4620LE Jetpacks which are deployed in the field. After a few minutes of connection to our VPN the connection is dropped when using the 4620LE. The VPN connection was tested on a wifi without having any drops. Could this be due to the dormant status of the Mifi? If so can the dormant feature be turned off?

VPN disconnections are common while connected to a MiFi. VPN's by nature are picky on small drops that normally do not effect browsers or applications. This is designed to stop external threats from tampering with your connection but end up being a real pain in the field for daily use. I'd suggest looking into an Auto-Reconnect feature on your VPN's if you have one available to try and improve the user experience.
Try going through the usual reset steps (power cycle, pull the SIM, reset button under the back door) to see if the problem is temporary or not. If the problem persists try traveling to a different area to determine if it is location based or isolated to the MiFi hardware.
Comparing WiFi to the MiFi is not really apples to apples. The MiFi broadcasts its own WiFi signal as would any other wireless router. Chances are your disconnections are not in the WiFi area, but instead are related to your MiFi's connection to Verizon. I have seen many instances where a machine is freshly connected and starts to pull numerous updates that overwelm the connection and break the VPN tunnel. The only work around is to try and connect somewhere else temporarily until the updates are done and then migrate back to the MiFi.
Dormancy is not a feature that you can manipulate, it is a status indicator for your connection. All cellular devices go in and out of dormancy through out the day. As soon as your MiFi sends data across or recieves data from the network it will update its dormancy status accordingly.

Unable to connect via wireless, printer is online.

I am using a Photosmart plus 209a via wireless. There are 3 notebooks connected. 2 will print but my Dell Studio (Win 7 Pro) will not. It was previously connected but now unable to connect. I have uninstalled all components using level 3 twice. Have used the Print/Scan tool. Downloaded the full SW package and the Basic driver SW. I process a job and it gets to the spooler and then "print job failed". I can view the control panel via IP address. I can view network settings and print wireless test page through HP Solution Center. Why am I unable to connect? I was able to use via USB but this is not an option.

It sounds like there is something different on the Dell Studio since it works from two other computers on the same network as the Dell Studio. It also sounds like you are able to access the EWS of the printer by using its IP address.
Are there any other errors messages regarding the printer? If so, what are they?
Is there a third party firewall installed (e.g. Norton, Kasperksy, BitDefender, etc.)?
Is this Windows 7 Professional 32bit or 64bit?

Can't connect via wireless wrt160n ver 1

I am using a wrt160n version 1 with the latest firmware. The internet is via cable modem which works fine and the computer i am writing this message with is connected to the router via ethernet. The problem comes when i try to connect another PC (mine, this is my mum's) via wireless. I am using windows 7 and it says after 2-3 seconds Windows cannot connect to the wireless network. The signal strength is showing excellent with all bars full (and i have checked this by moving the router to within 10 cm of the wireless aerial of the computer that fails to connect and nothing changes). Occasionally it will connect, but the speed is awful and it wont reconnect when windows is restarted. I don't know why it connects occasionally. When i say occasionally i mean after 100 or so attempts, but this is no guarentee. I have tried multiple aerials including one with an insulated cord, so you can put the aerial far away from your computer, so i don't think theres a problem with interference.
I have tried:
resetting and reprogramming the router, including factory reset
re-aplying the latest firmware
deleting the connection profile in windows
resetting my computer and the network adapter (my wireless card)
3 other network cards
moving my computer, the router, the aerial
changing channel
formatting the computer that cant connect, fresh installing windows
cursing and praying.
In the network diagnostic details from windows 7 auto-repair thingy, it seems that pre-association is working, but actual association is failing. The error code given is "0x00038002" next to association. Further down it also says that it failed to recieve a response from the access point or router. The funny thing is, everything was working fine a few weeks ago with the exact same hardware and software. Nothing has changed except my ability to connect.

Well I think (fingers crossed) mine is working properly now... so far so good.... i have a happy teanager again... she has internet.... ha-ha

Lets see if it last and works smoothly....

Officejet pro 8500A connected via wireless, but not accessible....

I can t access my officejet pro printer via wifi, after a firmware upgrade last week. I can print however from my iPad, but not from my laptop. Both are connected to the same wireless signal. I can see in my printer and router that both are connected. When I connect the printer via a cable to the router, it works.
As said, I lost this after firmware update.
I tried:
Update the software on my laptop : no Improvement
Switch on/off the router, printer, laptop : no improvement....
Can anybody help? Would a downgrade offirmware help? Anybody familiar with this problem?
Laptop : W7-64

The workgroup shouldn't matter. It's strange that the printer will communicate with the laptop as long as one of them is connected via Ethernet to the router. It shouldn't be doing that at all. It has to be something in the router. I know you mentioned using a different router and it worked just fine. Problem is I'm not sure why this router isn't working right. I'm sure the printer is out of warranty, which is why I'm sure you came to the forums first, but you may need to contact HP tech support. They should be able to remote in and find the setting that's blocking communication. II'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link will take you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it out and it is processed, it will give you the printers warranty information, a case number, and the phone number to call.

Moving events to harddrive connected via wireless network

I cannot move my movie events onto harddrive connected via airport extreme. the harddrive shows up under events but dragging the movie events to it does nothing--and under 'import' and either copy or move it shows up a source but not a destination

imovie doesn't support wireless/NAS drives. There is a workaround. try doing a search on NAS Drives under the imovie search. I don't remember.

HP 2600n not connecting via Wireless

Hi,
I have a HP 2600n Color Laser Printer connected to my airport extreme. I've used it wirelessly for a year. I changed a print cartridge and it stopped functioning. Basically, it sees the printer via Bonjour but "hangs" while I try to actually Add it. This locks up the system.
The printer works fine directly into the USB. I've unistalled / reinstalled all drivers. I used Print Therapy and Disk Utility to check for errors.
I know others have this same issue http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1405299 but, I can't find an answer.
PLEASE help!

I'm shooting in the dark here but how about trying this:
Turn off Airport on your MacBook and connect to the Airport Extreme with an Ethernet cable (I assume your printer is connected via Ethernet as well). Can you add the printer? Can you print when connected like this? Then disconnect the Ethernet cable and turn your MacBook's Airport back on and see if you can still print.
Again, a shot in the dark. My next suggestion would be to do a hard reset of the Airport Extreme. I don't have one so I'm just assuming it can be reset.

I receive an error code:5,157,69 when I try to scan using my MX922. It is connected via wireless

I have my new MX922 connected to my home network via wireless. When I attempt to scan photos I receive an error message stating that the scanning software was unable to communicate with the scanner. Code:5,157,69.
I have no issues when printing or faxing it is only the scanning function. I am using the Canon supplied software - My Image Garden - to do the scan.
Please advise.
Solved!

Why is Firewire connected via wireless??

MBP late 2009 10.6.7 / Airport Extreme. I connect via ethernet cable or wireless.
This is strange...
Network Utility shows the Firewire interface is "Active" and that Airport interface is "Inactive"
This is wrong - Firewire has never been used on the computer.
Network Utility shows Airport Interface- LINK STATUS: Inactive, Model: MCP79-1
Network Utility shows Firewire Interface- LINK STATUS: Active, Model: Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 a/b/g/n)
Why? Anyone any ideas?

Hi there.
So, the wired connection is working.
You just need to check the wireless settings of the router and make sure it's configured correctly. Try this link - www.linksys.com/kb article # 154. Even if its for wrt54g, it has the same User Interface as your router.
Check also if the wireless computer is able to get a valid IP address.
If its XP
1. Start>>Control Panel>>Network Connections>>Wireless Network Connections>>Right click>>Status>>Support.
2. If you're IP address is 192.168.1.100, its good. Then try to go online.
3. If you're getting 169.254.x.x it means that the computer is not able to obtain an IP address from the router
Just let me know what happen. Thanks.

EA3500 dropping internet connection every 2 minutes

Hello! I've recently purchased the EA3500 dual band wireless-N router to replace my old and somewhat tired WRT54GS. The old router worked, I just decided to upgrade to wireless-N since all of my devices are now capable.
My ISP is Comcast and I use a Motorola SB 6120 cable modem.
After an extremely easy setup of the new router last week, I experienced one full day of glorious speedier network and internet traffic. However, roughly 24 hours after installation I started experiencing intermittetent internet connectivity issues. As in - the cable modem is accessible for 2 minutes and then can't be found for 2 minutes, repeat forever.
After multiple different troubleshooting steps, including rebooting both the modem and the router together, separately, and releasing and renewing the router's IP Address through the router's admin page, I finally ended up resetting the router back to factory defaults and letting Windows 7 guide me through the re-installation rather than using the provided "easy setup" CD from Cisco.
This seemed to have helped, but 2 days later, my "every 2 minutes" issue returned.
Something important to note here is that all of my devices - both wired and wireless - are able to communicate with each other without issue. For example - while I have no access to the cable modem, I am able to stream music from a wired desktop through a wireless laptop to a wireless receiver connected to my TV. I am also able to access the router's admin tools during my connectivity issues.
Has anyone here got some ideas for additional troubleshooting steps I can take?

There are many reasons why you experience poor signal or connection. Your slow throughput wireless connection has a relation to the kind of setup that you have in your home or office. Is the connection dropping on all wireless-N computers or just one?
Try to do the following steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1492 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page)
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
