FIOS Westell 9100 EM router connection with Mac

I have 3 Macs, two of which run the latest OS, 10.5, the other runs 10.4. The oldest machine always connects flawlessly to the router, while the two newer ones often take repeated attempts to connect after I wake them from sleep, with "Invalid Password" or "Connection Timeout" appearing on the screen. Sometimes, the newer machines do connect right away, other times it takes five or six attempts. The settings seem to be the same on the newer machines as on the 10.4 Mac. Can't figure out why this is so. Any thoughts?

I have a very similar problem. I have an imac and a macbook pro. Both frequently lose internet connection after coming from sleep mode. Often I have to restart my computers in order to restore internet connection. I am on my second westell 911 router and have the same problem.

Changed to secure - can connect with mac but not pc running vista

I changed my wrt54gs from unsecured to secure by changing the wireless > wireless security > to security mode: WPA personal, the wpa algorithms is set to TKIP, i set up a password in the shared key area and the group key is set to 3600. I saved the changes and now i can connect with the password with a macbook pro as well as with a ipod touch but i cant connect with a laptop running windows vista. I would get an error saying unable to connect, funny thing is though i am connect (and it is the correct router, not a neighbors) but it says connected with limited access. I tried to run diagnostics and repair but to no avail. Any thoughts on what to door is limited access ok?
thanks,
Dave

Try this :
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Network and Sharing Center >> Manage Wireless Networks, here remove all the networks present and close the Window...
Click on Connect to a Network and try to re-connect to your Network, it should ask for your Network Key/Password, enter the correct password/network key and click Connect...
It should connect...Once you are connected you should restart the computer, it should connect to Internet...

Can connect with Macs but not PCs - iChat 2.1 OSX 10.3.9

Hi, I am having problems connecting to PCs but can connect to other Macs fine. I have ploughed through as much of the correspondance on here as I can find but with no luck. Would I be right in assuming that if I can connect OK to another Mac (with .mac name or AIM name) my settings should be OK?
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike
Try me and see, defcom1 .mac account.
Has the PC side-up ok, see for set-up http://www.mvldesign.com/videoconferencetutorial.html#xp they must be using AIM5.9 and not AIM Triton

You don't need any software. Just plug and play. The software is for windows pc's. Read the manual to use your browser to set up the router.

Bluetooth connection with Mac Book Pro

How do I set up a Bluetooth connection with my Mac Book Pro?

I'm trying to set up the Blue Tooth connection so I can use internet tethering from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I have already set up the USB option and that works well on my Rogers network. I've achieved Bluetooth paring between the iPhone and MacBook, but I can't get them to connect.
I'm using Snow Leopard, if that makes any difference.
Any ideas?

How to get audio device information connected with MAC system?

I want to know the samplerate (the number of samples per second) supported by the device connected with the MAC system.
I am also pasting the code as below where I need that info.
// Using PCM 44.1 kHz, 16 bit signed,stereo.
          AudioFormat audioFormat = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED, //     the audio encoding technique
          44100.0F,// sampleRate           the number of samples per second
          16,      // sampleSizeInBits the number of bits in each sample
          2,       // channels           the number of channels (1 for mono, 2 for stereo, and so on)
          4,       // frameSize           the number of bytes in each frame
          44100.0F,// frameRate          the number of frames per second
          false); // bigEndian          indicates whether the data for a single sample is stored in big-endian byte order (<code>false</code> means little-endian)

Can you sugget something in that area.That's not an issue that's specific to MAC, it'd be specific to any system with a limited number of supported capture formats.
I've handled this problem in the past by generating an array full of all of the AudioFormat objects I'd consider acceptable, and I just iterate through them until I can find a TargetDataline that supports it.
TargetDataLine tdl = null;
/* Write your own code to get an array of acceptable formats here */
AudioFormat formats[] = JavaSoundFormats.getFormatList();
for (AudioFormat format : formats) {
    DataLine.Info dlinfo = new DataLine.Info(TargetDataLine.class,
                                             format);
        if (AudioSystem.isLineSupported(dlinfo)) {
            try {
                audio_in_format = format;
                tdl = (TargetDataLine)AudioSystem.getLine(dlinfo);
                break;
            catch(LineUnavailableException e) {
                // No need to do anything
/* If we don't have a targetdataoutput object, give up */
if (tdl == null) {
    System.err.println("No TargetDataLines found!");
    System.exit(1);

Verizon Westell 9100 Em router - Citrix Connection

My work requires that I make connection using Citrix. It appears that my Westell router configures the firewall each day and renders me being not able to connect to my work each morning. I have to do a hard reset each morning and only then I can connect. I tried DMZ host for my computer and that does not help. Can anyone help?.

Not sure I understand what you mean by that. The router does not make changes to the firewall configuration by itself on a daily basis.
Are you sure your computer is retaining the same IP address?
As Hubrisnxs pointed out, it's best if the computer has a static IP address, or a DHCP reservation so that it keeps the same IP address so the port forward rule points to the same place. The default DHCP lease for LAN side devices is 1 day (1440 minutes).
Can you post screen shots of your port forwarding rules before and after these supposed changes?

Officejet not able to connect with MAC wirelessly but will connect to W7 PC

I have a 6700 Office jet and have it setup to print wirelessly with a W7 PC. The Mac will not connect to the printer wirelessly but will print via usb connection. Any hints?

Hi jecp,
It sounds like the router is not broadcasting the Bonjour protocol. The Mac uses Bonjour and the Windows uses DHCP. You may need to contact the Internet Service Provider (IPS), but you can try the steps below, I have seen success with a simple reboot.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable
Shut down the Mac, Click the Apple Icon and select Shut Down
Leave the router on and unplug the power cable, do not press any buttons
After one full minute, plug the router back in and wait for the lights to illuminate again and stedily
Plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light to become solid
Turn the computer back on
Now try to add the printer to the Print and Scan in System Preferences.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue. I am happy to provide additional assistance if necessary.

Router troubles with mac

Hello again, this is the second time I'm posting this, but I have a shabby D-link router. On my mac, msn will consistantly log me out and give me various excuses, such as system is unavalible...bla bla bla. I think it's the router doing it, I used to get errors in safari and Internet explorer about not being able to connect to the server and then apon a second click it would snap in, it has stopped doing that, but msn is still logging me out ,ect, ect. My windows computer hooked up to the router via ethernet cable doesn't do this which doesn't make sense but does at the same time. Is there some reason my ibook is doing this? And would someone plese reply to me this time

Hello
First lets find out if it is the router, or the web browzer.
Open a terminal window and use the ping command. Type the following command
ping -c 10 MSN.com
The ping command is use to see if your internet connection is good.
-c 10 means how many times u reach MSN.com
look at the results, if u read 0 lost packets u have a good connection to the internet, Basicly the router is letting access the internet. If u lost some packets check the router settings.
The other thing to check is your web browzer. Does it only logs u out from msn, check other web site and see what happens. Some site are not very user freindly with SAfari. Try Firefox web browzer at firefox.com. I use this browzer, when sites are not Safari freindly and works fine.

Try to upgrade your router's firmware
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in serach tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Please note that I made no judgements as to the quality of your assistance nor did I make any comments or implications regarding your courtesy. My statement was strictly related to your comment in bold face type (quoted in my prior statement) and nothing more.
Re yours: "Everyone wins by learning." I totally agree with you on that point.
Ciao.
Your response is thoughtful and deserves discussion. Moreover, it seems we're in agreement on several issues - but not this one.
Look through my questions and answers. I have no interest in points or "helpful" ratings. But it's perfectly reasonble and consistent with Apple Support criteria to ask if an issue is resolved to the poster's satisfaction, and to encourage further discussion to make sure it's resolved. The original poster's question in this thread wasn't resolved completely, but further dialog encouraged the user to visit the Apple Store, where it will be addessed. The poster was appreciative for the information.
Ultimately, it's up to Apple to discern whether my comments are incongruous with Apple's Support Use Agreement. I don't see any incongruity.

Connectivity with mac book pro

When using my macbook pro to stream music etc/BBC iplayer from the internet the connection fluctuates whereby it keeps reloading. My Imac desktop on the other hand has no problem at all and they are both within the same distance from the router approximately 8 feet. Any suggetions anyone please?

Hey halley.carleton,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the Mac is having connectivity issues. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
