Extended wired network loses wireless connectivity

I have a pre-existing wireless network with a Time Capsule (4th gen) and I want to extend it via a wired connection to an Airport Extreme (5th gen).
I powered up the AE, did a hard reset and after I confirmed it was reset, I plugged the ethernet cable into both the TC & the AE, while they were in the same room. Airport Utility "knew" what I wanted to do, suggested that I wanted to extend the network via a wire and after I agreed, the device was updated.
A short time after the AE was updated, I lost all wireless connectivity to both the TC and the AE, even though the front lights were still green. Once I unplugged the AE and restarted the TC, the network resumed connectivity. If I restarted the AE without a wired connection to the TC, the AE acted as a wireless extender for the network. If I replug it into the TC, the network comes down.
What did I do wrong?
TIA,
Larry Haber

If I restarted the AE without a wired connection to the TC, the AE acted as a wireless extender for the network. If I replug it into the TC, the network comes down.
Something went wrong during the setup and the AirPort Extreme was configured to extend using a wireless connection. So, the AirPort was expecting a wireless connection....and when the Ethernet cable was connected, this created a massive feedback loop, which effectively crashed the network.
I assume that you have tested the Ethernet cable to make sure that it is operating correctly.
Power off the AirPort Extreme and disconnect the Ethernet cable if it is still connected
Perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme. That means that you hold in the reset button on the AirPort first, and keep holding it for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort. Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the AirPort To restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Connect the Ethernet cable from a LAN <--> port on the Time Capsule to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme
Try the setup again. If you are using a 6.x version of AirPort Utility, the initial setup screen will indicate that the AirPort Extreme will be set up to extend the Time Capsule network. Watch the second screen carefully to confirm that the message will change to indicate that the AirPort is being set up to extend using Ethernet.
Strange as it might seem, the setup utility on an iPhone or iPad actually does a better job than AirPort Utility on a Mac, especially a Mac that is running Yosemite, so if you are still having problems, you might want to try the setup on an iPhone or iPad if you have one handy.

  • OJ 8600 Constantly loses wireless connection

    My OfficeJet Pro8600 Plus works great, except when it loses wireless connection.  I have an ATT wireless router/modem.  Frequently, when the printer goes to sleep, it will not print.  The wireless icon on the printer shows good, and says connected.  But then I get the message on my computer that the printer is not connected.  I cancel the print, restart the printer and then it will work.  I also frequently get the message that scanning is also not connected.
    Once I reboot the printer, it works fine.  Any ideas?

    brown7373,
    If you have not done so for a while, I might suggest that you install (reinstall) the Full Feature Software for your printer.  In August of this year (2014) there was an Update to the software that may well help with the situation you are facing. 
    Less clear, due to the usual less than full descriptive qualities of the documentation supplied with these things (in my opinion), is the need for the accompanying firmware Update that is shown for at least those users running the Windows 8.1 Operating System.  Firmware updates, might be installed after software updates are tried -- and only at the user / owner's discretion.
    General Instructions to Install the Printer Software
    Reminder:
    In most cases, the Solution Center has been replaced by the Printer Assistant.
    The Printer Assistant shortcut will be installed on your Desktop during the last part of the installation.
    Windows Operating System:
    Create Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR  Create a restore point Win8
    Open HP Drivers & Downloads
    Enter your Printer Model information
    Select your Printer from the “Results” list
    OR
    Open HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g Drivers
    Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu
    Click NEXT and Scroll down
    Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
    Select the Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software
    Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
    The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
    Be sure to look for Updates as needed for your installation. If available, you may download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other programs from Category – Utilities.
    If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select run as Administrator and install.
    NOTES: 
    Look at the bottom half of the main webpage for your printer for helpful videos to assist with the installation of the printer software!
    Scroll the video list back and forth until you find the video that most closely matches your situation.
    If using a USB connection: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
    Ethernet: Connect the printer to the network and (Optional) assign the printer an IP address at the router. Once the printer is connected to the network, be sure the printer is switched on and then install the printer software.
    After the initial installation is complete and working, check / install Category - Update
    There is valuable information at the support website, including sections for Manuals, Troubleshooting > How-to, Troubleshooting > Solve a Problem, plus alerts and notifications for your printer.  Be sure to take an extended look at what is available.  Bookmark the page.
    ============================================================================
    If you are running the computer wirelessly and using a notebook, you might consider the following:
    Set the wireless adapter to "all on" as suggested in the following Dragon Document:
    Settings to Improve Wireless Connectivity
    See the Section on Page One titled
    Wifi Power Management
    ============================================================================
    What If:  Bummer - Nothing works.  Sad Story and all that.
    If all else fails, you can call HP and politely ask for the printer code to switch off the sleep timeout on your printer model.  This works when everything else fails.   It is not a solution; this is a workaround and maybe not a pretty one -- there may be consequences down the road.  Switching off the sleep timer will keep the printer awake and available.
    Disclaimer:
    There is no guarantee that HP will give you the code.  This is not part of the service.  You can ask the question.

  • New 6500 E709n loses wireless connection when it or laptop sleeps... & other problems!

    Just got this printer and am hoping we can get it to work because we really like it.  I believe we've done everything right - it is connected to PC via USB, and to laptop via wireless network.  Both computers are Dells running XP.  Our wireless router is a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G.  We installed the disk on both.  Immediately after installing on the laptop by plugging in USB and then unplugging, we were able to get it to work.  We printed and scanned from both . . . UNTIL the printer went into power save mode.
    When it sleeps it loses all the network connections (but will still print from PC).  Even the icons disappear from the laptop after it sleeps.  The only way to get it to work with the laptop again is to start all over, plug in the laptop, enter the WPA key again, and so on.  Then it's finebut for just a short while.  Now, when I registered my protection plan, I was on the phone with a techie guy and asked him if it's normal to have to keep entering the key every time you want to print, and he actually said that maybe I shouldn't let the printer sleep - wow! I want to conserve energy, so I may even want to shut it off, okay, and I don't feel I should have to go through this rigamarole every time I want the darn thing to just be available to the network.  Furthermore, what's the sense of having to turn "Wireless Radio" on and off all the time???
    Anyway, there are other problems and the menus in the internal web browser is about as confusing as it can be.  Is the passphrase the same as a WPA key?  There's a passphrase in there which I did not enter, and I don't know what it is because it's been disguised with dots.  When I enter the WPA key on the front panel of the printer, it doesn't stick.  One thing I noticed in the instructions is to keep telephones away from it, so I moved ours (was right next to it) but it's still being ornery.
    In addition, the scan function only works from the software, not as a standalone if I use the front panel.  When using the button on the front panel, sometimes it sees the laptop, sometimes it doesn't, and then it starts to scan, but a menu pops up on the computer asking to update the buttons, and then nothing happens.
    Have we a clunker on our hands that should be returned, or is there a remedy?  All suggestions welcome!

    Let me answer the easy stuff first:
    Yes, the passphrase is the same as the WPA-PSK key.
    No, it's not normal to have to re-enter the wireless security key over and over again.  Politely tell our service agent that he is mistaken on this point.
    There's no sense in having to turn the radio on and off all the time to get the printer to remain on the network.
    When the printer goes into power-save mode, can you still access the printer's internal web page by browsing to it's IP address?  When the printer loses wireless connectivity, can you wake the printer by pressing any of the buttons on the front panel?
    I have a couple more questions:
    What WRT54G HW version do you have (it'll be on the bottom label of the router)?
    What version of FW does your router have?  You'll have to browse to the router's internal web page to find out.
    Finally, change the WPA-PSK group key renewal period to the largest value possible.  Tell if this affects the frequency of printer losing Wi-Fi connectivity?
    One more question.  After you have the printer connected to your wireless network and it's working, if you turn the printer off (via the power button), wait five seconds then unplug it then plug it back in and turn it on, does it connect to your network?

  • Printer loses wireless connection when it goes to sleep?

    My printer loses wireless connection to my router when it goes to sleep and I have to input the WEP key again.  As long as the printer is awake it works fine.  The wireless light remains on.
    Printer is HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus and the router is a Verizon 7500.

    If you mean WPA, that is good.
    Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • Zyxel pk500z router/wireless modem loses wireless connectivity with imac

    My iMac loses wireless connectivity with wirelss internet from my Qwest  ZyXel PK5000Z modem/router intermittently. Have to constantly reboot the router to allow my Imac and other Mac notebooks nto reconnect to wireless internet connection.

    Suggest that you take one or more of Mac laptops down to the coffee place and connect there to check  your performance. If you get a good connection there....as I suspect you will...you know the Macs are functioning correctly.
    If the Macs perform well at the coffee place, you need to contact the ZyXel support folks for ideas on why the PK5000Z device is requiring constant restarts.
    As you might imagine....on an Apple support forum, we are not going to be able to provide much help with a ZyXel product.

  • MacBook loses wireless connection when iPod touch connects to network

    hi
    ever since upgrading to 10.5.5. on my MacBook i've had the "intermittent network connection" problems that have been described and discussed (without any real solution from what i can see) in another thread.
    PROBLEM: every couple of minutes my MacBook loses connectivity to the network - the AirPort icon still says that i'm connected, albeit with one less bar than before, but i can't connect to anywhere, not even to the wireless router - and to re-establish a connection i need to switch off AirPort, switch it back on, it will then reconnect, and after two minutes or so i have to do it all over again because the network connection drops again.
    NOVEL OBSERVATION 1: reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater helped somewhat. i used to get an error in system.log about there being too many state transitions on the wireless network and about network traffic reduction measures being taken to overcome this problem, but after reinstalling the 10.5.5. combo system updater this message never appears in the logs and I get kicked off only sometimes (see what i say in point 2 below)
    NOVEL OBSERVATION 2: now my MacBook will only lose its connection to the net if i switch on my iPod Touch and switch its wireless interface on. in fact, the only way to avoid the MacBook getting constantly disconnected is to make sure that the wireless interface on the Touch is switched off in the Touch's system preferences; if I just sleep the Touch (top button) without switching off its wireless network interface first in its System Preferences, then the MacBook will keep disconnecting even while the Touch is in sleep mode (presumably the Touch keeps polling the network or something, even while it's in sleep mode).
    DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 1: I have another wireless device (my Nokia E51, which has wifi capabilities) and if I connect it to the wireless interface then the MacBook's connection isn't dropped - i.e. the MacBook only loses its wireless connection when my iPod Touch connects to the wireless network.
    DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 2: I have upgraded my wireless router (before I had a Linksys WRT-54GC, now I have a Netgear WGR614v9) but that has made no difference.
    DIAGNOSTIC NOTE 3: I have also tried altering the router's settings (i have played around a_lot with this, trying every combination I could think of - e.g. staple down particular devices to particular ip addresses, use only 802.11g versus automatic b/g, etc) but that has made no difference either.
    RANT:
    The only thing that prevents these disconnections from occurring is to keep the iPod Touch's wireless switched off, which ***** because if I'm in the kitchen I can't have it switched on to monitor my email (yes, I've no life, i hang around waiting for emails), or if I go have a lie down and want to check out stuff on the net, or to browse the iTunes music store or whatever, then I know that my connecting my iPod Touch the computer will be disconnected.
    This obviously *****, right? And a lot of people are having wireless problems with their MacBooks, right? And these problems seem to have been around for over a year, right?
    So why hasn't Apple solved this problem yet? Or am I just being melodramatic?
    Your thoughts on any or all of the above, or flames if that's your preferred method of communicating, are invited. =)
    Cheers

    Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
    For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
    If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

  • HP CP1525nw - Connect via wired network and wireless ad hoc?

    At my job we have our HP 1525nw printer connected into the network printserver via ethernet cable.  The printer has its own IP address setup on the network.   
    With support for XP computers ceasing, a copule of computers will be cut off/blocked from the job's network.  One computer is close enough where we can make a USB connection to print.  Another is located on another bench.  Furthermore, the one that is further away from the printer also can't be upgraded to a compliant Windows OS due to incompatibility with specialized software used to operate equipment hooked up to this computer. 
    Is it at all possible for this wired network printer to also be setup to print wireless via an ad hoc connection?  The idea was perhaps we could install a wireless card on thix XP computer and  print wirelessly via a direct connection to the printer, avoiding having to connect to it via the wired network at all.  But it is sounding like this wouldn't be possible.  Looking for a direct answer before I start shopping around for a wireless PCI card. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    From other posts I have read, I think the CP1525 can be either ethernet or wireless not both at the same time.  That will prevent you from setting up with an adhoc network the way you described.
    You might try an inexpensive wireless router with a build in print server attached to the usb port.  then add wireless USB wireless dongles to the XP computers.  Be sure you make sure that the wireless dongles support XP. Also for security purposes you will want to leave the wireless router disconnected from your network.
    If your fairly tecky and you don't mind playing a bit you could check your local thrift store for a used router with a print server.  For printing you don't need the fastest wireless available.  Just make sure it is a b/g router (not a B only one).

  • All devices on network lose internet connection when Dell laptop connected

    I have successfully setup my AEBS network and am using two wireless clients--HP printer and Xbox access point (both 802.11 G) and a wired iMac that also is connected via Airport (so I can move it around if i want). I tried connecting my Dell Latitude D830 wirelessly and within a few minutes of connecting the AEBS loses internet connectivity. Unplugging and restarting the AEBS restores the internet but it just drops off again in less than 10 minutes. My question is, what might be causing this and what can I do about it? One peculiar thing to me is that I am using the WEP security option since the Xbox doesn't seem to support WAP2. When connecting the Xbox it reports the network as WEP but the HP printer and Dell Laptop but suggested the network was indeed WAP even though I'm clearing using WEP security. Maybe it's nothing but wanted to add for completeness.
    The Dell is running Vista Enterprise edition.
    Thanks for any help.

    I've noticed a similar issue. Any time my HP/Vista laptop is connected to my AEBS it loses the network connection at inconsistant time intervals(~10-15 min).

  • When I connect imac to network via airport all devices on the network lose internet connectivity

    Every device stays connected to the network but the internet stops working. Usually the network will continue to function normally for about five minutes when the imac connects, but then every device loses internet access via the network, NOT just the imac. As soon as I turn off the imac's airport they get internet connectivity back. A wired network connection to the imac seems to work OK.
    The airport is configured as "Using DHCP"
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    As far as I know, no changes have been made to the computer recently (but it is not my machine and the owner isn't here atm)
    I found one other resource with the same problem here:

  • IMac and other Apple devices lose wireless connections

    We have two Apple iMacs, a MacBook Pro, an iPad and iPad2 and they all intermittently lose their Wireless connection to my network.  All of my PC's work just fine and stay connected.  This is funny... the MacBook Pro booted to Windows 7 Pro stays connected, but the MacOS doesn't.
    It appears to be a problem with DNS, because if you ping to a remote host, you get a response back.  Also, if you put an IP address into Safari on the iMac and MacBook then a site will come online.  However, the iPads just say "You are not connected" while in Safari.  I have verified that I'm using the correct DNS addresses provided by my ISP, and I have a Windows Domain server running DHCP/DNS on the inside of my firewall.
    We recently moved and were issued a new wireless router by our ISP.  I was thinking that might be the problem, but then we don't have the problem with any of the Windows PCs.  This router is manufactured by Arris.  My other router was a Cisco that worked like a champ.
    Turning off the Airport feature and turning it back on restores Web Browsing capability.  Interestingly, if I have a remote desktop session running, it never gets disconnected even when the web stops working.  Again, symptoms point to DNS issues.

    If you feel it's DNS related then change the DNS setting to:
    1. System preferences
    2. Network
    3. Click Advanced
    4. Click DNS tab
    5. Click + sign
    6. Add 208.67.222.222

    8. Add 208.67.220.220
    9. Click OK.

  • HP7520 loses wireless connection

    HP7520 prints fine from multiple Macs whether wired to router or wirelessly connected to router.  Frequently scanner function claims it can not find any computer, even after identifying two awake computers on my wireless network and asking me which one I want the scan to go to.  Both Macs run  Mavericks (OS X 10.9.4).  Printed wireless test page and looked at wireless configuration on control panel - network is correct, IP address is correct.
    MFAH

    Hi MFAH,
    I see you are able to print but scanning is often an issue. From your description I gather the printer sees the computers, but when you select one of them it then fails to connect and you get a communication error. I would be happy to help you with this. Please first ensure the printer is connected to a wall outlet and not a surge protector/ power bar.
    Surge protectors may not allow sufficient voltage through to the printer.
    The next step is to disable the IPv6 on the front panel of the printer, having it enabled can often cause problems. One the front screen of the printer touch the little wrench icon in the top right hand corner, then go to the Wireless Menu. In the Wireless Menu navigate to Advanced Settings > IPv6 and turn it off.
    Try to scan now and see if the issue is resovled. If the issue persists, complete the steps in the following document and let me know the result; Communication Error between the Scanner and Your Computer in Mac.  You may notice this doucmnet does not refrence 10.9 but the steps do apply to 10.9.
    I hope this helps.

  • Connect to Win (wired) network from MacBook connecting via AirPort Express

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook (OS 10.4.10) that I was connecting to my Windows network via a Linksys WRK54G Wireless router (configured as a WAP), which in turn was connected to a Netgear FVS318 VPN Firewall Router. The FVS318 connects to my cable modem and 2 Windows XP Pro PCs. The Linksys WRK54G has been flaking out, so I replaced it with an Airport Express. My MacBook and a Windows XP Pro laptop are both able to connect to the internet via the airport express, and they are both able to ping the IP addresses of my (wired network connected) Win XP Pro PCs. However, the PCs no longer show up under "Network" on the MacBook, nor can I connect to the shared directories on the (wired) Windows PCs from the Win XP Pro laptop (via Start Menu => Run => enter IP address). I have not found any answers so far either using Google or Apple Support website. Surely this is possible -- what am I missing? Thanks.
    - Scott

    Hello sborisch. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    If I understand your network configuration, you just need to configure the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge...
    To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility (located in the \Applications\Utilities folder), make these settings:
    Network tab
    o Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
    o Apply the new setting.

  • IMac loses wireless connectivity with Time Capsule

    I'm having a problem with my iMac 24" 3.06ghz losing connectivity with my Time Capsule (1 TB), but my wife has a new Dell laptop running Windows Vista and using the TC for her wireless. She does not lose the connection and keeps trucking everytime I lose it. The TC seems to be transmitting fine, but it's not communicating with the iMac. Any ideas?

    My wireless network works well, using TC as wireless router, but occasionally Safari will lose internet connection from iMac, while iTunes is syncing with ATV. Strange, I will work along with you to solve this.

  • Often lose wireless connection when using HDTV as monitor

    I have an unusual wireless networking problem when using my Samsung HDTV in my living room as a monitor for my MacBook (when watching Internet TV shows, for example). Frequently when I switch URLs, networking freezes, even though the connection appears strong, with the Airport symbol at the top of my screen showing all bars. To re-establish the wireless connection, I have to go through the process of re-joining my network through the “Join Other Network" option. The signal holds as long as I don’t try to change it, as in selecting another URL.
    I connect to my HDTV via HDMI cable, using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter from my Macbook’s video-out port. The audio connection is a mini-plug from the Mac’s headphone out jack to stereo RCA plugs associated with the TV’s HDMI port.
    The wireless connection is through a Lynksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz, 54 Mpbs Broadband router.
    I’d appreciate any solutions the Apple user community has to offer.

    I'd say this has nothing to do with your display. The problem will likely lie in either your router settings, network settings or a simple signal strength issue. Try first changing the broadcast channel on your router, and make sure all settings are correct for your desired network.

  • I lose wireless connectivity when I connect the nano to my PC

    I have a DSL modem connected by ethernet cable to a Linksys wireless router. My PC has USB linksys antenna. The wireless connection works fine except when I plug in the Nano, it takes about two seconds and I lose the connection to the router. If we are in itunes downloading it is suspended. If we are on the internet the next click and the Microsoft "you are not connected to the internet" page comes up. To reestablish the internet connection I have to remove the nano and reboot the PC. Needless to say this is very frustrating.
    If I reboot with the cable attached I get an error unable to run an ____.exe that I believe is the antenna setup because the linksys monitor stays gray in the startup box.
    I have tried to move the antenna to a different USB port on the PC with no luck. Everything else runs fine.
    Does anyone out there have any ideas/fixes? - Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
