Getting my F4580 to connect to my network thats not broadcasti​ng it's SSID

I'm an Apple Mac user, I'm trying to connect my Deskjet F4580 to connect to my network wirelessly.
I am using a Belkin Pre N1 Wireless Router, which is set not to broadcast it's SSID.
I've tried entering the SSID manually on the setup for the F4580, but it can't see it.  I do want to start broadcasting the SSID due to security issues.
How do I get the two speaking to one another.
Thanks in advance

Broadcast your SSID.  Not broadcasting it is not a security measure.  At all.  There is freeware on the internet that can read your SSID whether you are broadcasting or not.  Read more here.
Use WPA or WPA2 (not WEP which can also be broken with freeware) encryption with a strong password and enjoy more security and less hassle than you have now.

    Hello,
    from the Client where you get this issue, are you able to connect to the DB with DB Methods? Like if you are using an Oracle DB with SQL Plus, or if this is a MS SQL Server via the ODBC connection etc.?

  • WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none receive

    Hi,
    WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
    I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

    The answer to your question is - neither!
    Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

  • I am having trouble connecting to wifi networks that are password secured, even though I know the passwords.

    hey guys,
    Ok so here is the problem. I am having trouble connecting to wifi networks that are password secured. I am able to connect to public wifi with no problem, but when networks have passwords on them I am unable to connect to them, and I know that passwords. I also know that i am putting the correct passwords in because I am able to connect to the networks on my computer. I have tried turning my phone off and then back on, turning the wifi off and then back on and even resetting my network passwords to no avail. The networks that are secure show up in the wifi list for networks but when I go to put the password in, it tells me "incorrect password for the network". It has never connected to it since the passwords have been put on it. I am out of ideas for trouble shooting. Can anyone else help?!

    Try a soft reset by holding in the power button and the home button in at the same time for about 15 seconds until the screen flashes and then goes completely black. Afterwards try and turn the phone back on and see if that works. Also you could try and reset the Network Settings by going to Settings--General--Reset--Reset Network Settings and see if that resolves your problems as well. If all else fails be sure and do a backup through ITunes and then try to restore the device. Hopefully all will be well now.

  • Hello I cannot seem to get my airport to connect to a network

    Hello< the airport in my notebook will not connect to my network.  I just reconfigured the router (a linksys router) and my sisters macbook connects fine but mine does not.  The airport is on and when i try to put in the WPA password i get the color wheel, the window goes up and then down again asking for the wpa password again.  I am not sure what to do.

    OK, I hope you get cable working. I would recommend a origina Nokia CA-53 cable with your phone to ensure best connectivity.
    There is one iportant thing to remember with 6230i and PC + USB cable.
    When you connect the phone to PC via the cable, there will be a question appearing in your phone, something like: "do you allow data transfer?"
    - if you press "YES", your phone's memorycard will be visible in Windows Explorer
    - if you answer "NO"(or reject, don't remember exactly), you will get Nokia PC Suite to install drivers for your cable and then all the functions of PC Suite will work.

  • How can I get airport to automatically connect to a network again?

    Dear helpful ones,
    I connect to the internet and a printer via a wireless router. Previously airport automatically logged in to my network. Recently, I had to reset my router and modem. Since then, airport doesn't automatically log in. I need to manually select my network from the airport menu to join after every time the computer sleeps or is shut down. The password is still in the keychain. I didn't think any of my computer setting had changed or needed to...
    If anyone can offer a suggestion as to how to get airport to once again automatically log in to my wireless network, this would be most appreciated.
    Yours, Jeremy

    There's quite a common problem with OS X and getting it to auto-connect, although there are fairly obvious simple ways to solve it they didn't always work, the procedure below is long winded but does have a fairly high success rate.
    1. Move "System Preferences.app" to "Applications\"
    2. Delete all preferred networks in Network Preferences
    3. Delete all Airport password in Keychain Access
    4. Restart
    5. Choose network from drop-down menu and enter password
    6. Restart

  • SOLVED! HP Officejet 6500A E710 will not stay connected to the network. scanner not connected

    After 5 hours of live remote HP tech support, and 10 more hours of web searching, I am happy to say I have solved the wireless network connection issue with scanning and printing using the HP Officejet 6500A E710n-z.  I notice that there are a lot of people with similar issues with no common, successful fix.  Here is what worked for me.  
    Background Info:
    Upgraded internet service from 9Mbps to 27Mbps...Provider brought out new Arris DG860 modem/router.  Configured network and connected all clients (smart phones, PCs, Tablets, etc) successfully accept the printer.  With this new router/modem the printer/scanner/fax would not connect to my PC at all (Windows 7 64-bit).  The Officejet was always connected to the network, however, anytime I tried to print I would get an error "Unable to connect to the printer...", and when I made an attempt to scan.."Scanner not connected, make sure it is connected to the network..." blah blah blah.  
    Process:  
    After searching the web for solutions with no success, I finally made my first call to HP tech support.  Tech tried numerous fixes: many network changes (channel, static IP, etc.), made changes to Windows system settings and registry, installed new software and drivers, ran the scan doctor, partial, semi, and full reset on the printer.  He changed my wifi channel to 6 (or 11) from AUTO and whola.  That seemed to fix the problem.  After hanging up the phone 10 minutes later "No connection" errors again.  Made a second call to HP Tech Support, and this new tech basically tried all the same fixes as the first tech.  Worked again for 10-15 minutes then disconnected.  Made third call to tech and this individual tried the same fixes as the previous two, but to no avail.  He said he would have to direct me to a more Advanced Technician and would call back tomorrow.  They called back the next day, and this new tech fixed the issue within 20 minutes. 
    Problem/Solution:
    The fourth "more advanced" tech made one change in my network configuration settings.  He changed my network mode from B/G/N to B/G and now the printer/scanner/fax stays connected and works like brand new.  The only problem is that all my devices (including the Officejet) are 802.11N capable.  Setting my network to the old B/G mixed mode slows my speed down just a bit.  Using B/G/N mode or N, my download speed is 27 Mbps.  On B/G mixed my speed is 25Mbps.  Not too big of a deal, though.  All the HP Support Techs were very nice and helpfull.  They refunded my $25 Tech fee [fee charged when product is out of warranty] because the problem is not "technically" solved, even though it does work.  Conclusio:  This seems to be an issue with my the modem/router provided by my ISP.  Could also be that it is an older Officejet and need to upgrade.    To Fix Follow the Steps Below:
    Step 1:  Find your default gateway IP...usuall 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or similar.  Type this IP into your web address bar and hit enter.
    Step 2:  Enter the username and password.  This is normally set at factory default --> username: admin ....passowrd: password .... or .... admin
    Step 3: Go to the "Wireless Setup" tab and under the "Advanced Options" and "Wireless Network Settings" change the "Wireless Mode" to "B/G mixed".  
    Step 4:  Click "Apply" then close the browser.
    You may, or may not, lose your wifi connection for a short period while the new settings are applied and you may, or may not, have to power cycle your modem/router.  That's it.  Worked for me and I hope it works for you too.  If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post. 

    OK, that all sounds right.  Here are a few more router config ideas:
    1. Make sure that 802.11g mode is available, along with others is OK, but 'g' must be present.
    2. Change the channel to 11.
    3. Use WPA or WPA/WPA2 encryption, not WPA2 only.

  • Can connect to wireless network but not to internet

    Ok, so I bought a new AEBS and have finally managed to get it set up with my cable modem, and with security on so that the light is green, and not amber... the only problem now is that although I can connect to the wireless network that i have created using the base station, I cannot connect to the internet through it using my MacBook.
    I don't have problem connecting my iMac to the net wirelessly using the base unit so am confused.
    Anyone got any ideas?

  • I can not update Quick Time.  I get the message "a connection with the server could not be established"  I AM connected to the internet.  I have purchased QuickTime pro but can not get it uploaded.  Help.

    I have purchased Quick Time Pro and received my key.  I am told to go to QuickTime settings to update and I do not have Quick Time in my control panel.
    When I bring up QuickTime and click Help to Update I am told that a connection to the server could not be made due to either the server being down or my computer not having an internet connection.  I am connected to the internet so I know that is not the problem.
    How do I update my Quick Time player from 7.7.2 to QuickTime Pro that I have purchased?

    Launch the QuickTime Player and go "Edit > Preferences > Register", as per the following screenshot:
    ... that should get you through to the Register Tab in your QuickTime Control Panel.

  • My PC is connected to my airport by Ethernet. I can connect to the network, but not the internet. My wireless devices can access the internet

    My PC is connected to AirPort Extreme by ethernet, I can access the network, but not the internet. The wireless devices on the extreme can access the internet

    Hey DM,
    Is the Wireless(WL) router signal coming through the wired-router?
    My ISP requires that my Wireless Router is identified from their end. I use AirPort Express, so they need its MAC address from the router. Without that, my network will show up, but my ISP doesn't recognize it and won't allow it to route he internet. I don't know your exact situation though.
    Can other wireless computers access the internet? If they can through the WL router, then it might be the MacBook. If they can't, then you might want to contact your ISP and ask if they can see your wireless router?
    Let us know.

  • Airport Connects to WAP Network but not to internet

    I have been using the same network and Airport Extreme Base station for about as long as I've had my computer (coming close to three years). It's never had an extended problem with it. Last week or so, it stopped allowing me to connect to the internet. Both the cable modem and base station are working properly to my knowledge and I have not changed any of the settings. I am able to connect to the base station and it tells me that I am connected through my network to the internet (through ethernet). However, when I click on the internet (any application) it just takes forever to load, whereas if I join a different, unsecured network, the internet works just fine.
    Not sure if this is related but I also am having trouble with wired internet connections. I bring my computer to school and plug it into the school connection in my lab and the internet works, but the "built-in ethernet" does not seem to be present at all times and at others it does not detect the network.
    I am not very good with setting up IP addresses and the like so I was unable to use the troubleshooting page to help me with this problem. However, I am competent in fixing other kinds of issues, so if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear.
    G4 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Same issues, worked fine for a year, no sudden changes etc. No no internet IP assigned, strange thing is that the WAN spits out a connection to my VOIP phone.
    What gives?

  • MacBook automaticlly connects to wireless network, but not mine

    At home when I start my MacBook, it sometimes connects to the neighbors wireless network (not protected at all) rather than to ours. It does that all by itself, without me doing anything. Can I tell my computer to only connect to our network, or at least to as for a confirm if it wants to connect somewhere else?

  • Can only connect Airport to networks that don't require passwords?

    Hi,
    I am able to connect my Dual USB 500 iBook to a linksys network that does not require a password, but there is an error trying to join my Airport Extreme network that does require a password. Yes, I have quadruple checked the password. This seems like a software glitch. Should I reinstall the OS? Is there a patch?
    Jav

    WEP or WPA ?
    40/64-bit WEP is extremely fickle with passwords. It stems from the "hashing up" of the 40 bit (5 character) password into 64 bits. Different manufacturers (Apple, Netgear, Linksys, etc) can hash up with different formulas.
    WPA can also be fickle, different manufacturers have different minimum password rules, some 8 chars, some 12 char, some 20 chars.
