Guest network is working but normal network isn't

LAN works but normal Wireless doesn't work, if I connect to my guest Wireless it does work. I have a 50 address DHCP range and 8.8.8.8 as my DNS server. Time Capsule 4th GEN.

Why have you reduced the standard range? And why use 8.8.8.8 as dns server (I presume in the TC itself??)
Reset the TC to factory and start again.. set no guest wireless. Leave everything on default settings as far as possible.
Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. eg TCgen4 base station name. TCwifi as wireless name.
Keep passwords short, no spaces pure alphanumeric mix of case and numbers.. aprox 8-20 characters is plenty.

Guest network isn't encrypted?! Really? (WRT1900AC)

This router just arrived ... and I am disappointed to find that the only way to use the guest network seems to be unencrypted and with a web page authentication.
What I really expected and wanted was WPA where I can give my guests the WPA password and then they'd only ever have to enter it once, AND their traffic wouldn't be snoopable.
Any plans to add this feature?! This could be a deal killer for this router for me.

There are no plans to change this issue with Linksys/Belkin routers. Only this manufacturers has this problem as all others have full use of WPA2-AES on their Guest networks.

Windows 8 reset failed, my laptop seems to work but the performance isn't the same and refresh/reset isn't possible anymore

My problem started when I found a trojan (win32/skeeyah.B!plock) in my computer. Both Windows Defender and Malwarebytes detected it and claimed to remove it, but to be sure it was gone (I read online that it's hard to get rid of that one) I decided to perform a reset. I chose the deep reset option, it took about 5 hours to reach 92%, and then I got a message that the reset had failed. It gave me some options, and I chose to repair windows so I could keep using my machine. I had to set it all up again, like windows was really installed again. It seems to be working fine but it's a bit sluggish, and it bothers me that the reset failure might have left some broken files.
After testing it for a while, my only problem other than sluggishness was that I couldn't install google chrome ("Clickonce_bootstrap.exe - system error" was the message I got when the installation failed) but it bothered me enough to want to perform a refresh, to fix anything that might have been left broken. When I tried to do this, I got a message asking me if I trusted the source of the files that were attempting to perform changes on my computer, and listed my own hard drive as the source. I chose to trust it, and then I got a message telling me that the files needed to perform the refresh weren't in my computer, so I was prompted to insert the install disks. They didn't come with my laptop (Dell Inspiron), but I saved the installation files into a usb stick before doing the reset (Using Dell Recovery and Back Up), so I inserted the usb, and it told me that these weren't the right files. After that, my only option was "Cancel". Same thing happened for both refresh and reset.
Like I said, the computer seems to be functional, but I'm afraid the system might be unstable and crash on me randomly. Is there anything I can do?

Do not reinstall Windows 8, it is obsolete. Instead make installation media for Windows 8.1 with Update 1:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-microsoft-windows-and-office/download-microsoft-windows/download-windows-8-1-retail-and-oem-iso/
The only problem is selecting the correct edition likely Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 Single Language.
Use DISKPART → CLEAN ALL:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/cleaning-up-a-drive-format-vs-secure-wipe-ssd-and-hdd/
Then install Windows 8.1 with update 1 directly:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/a-clean-install-of-windows/a-clean-install-of-windows-8-1/windows-8-1-installation/
You can install with a local account, then install the system drivers in the correct order:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/downloading-drivers-checking-hardware-ids-and-downloading-and-installing-dell-system-drivers-in-the-correct-order/driver-installation/
If you need help identifying variants provide hardware IDs:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/downloading-drivers-checking-hardware-ids-and-downloading-and-installing-dell-system-drivers-in-the-correct-order/checking-hardware-ids-in-the-device-manager/
After installation of the drivers you may then install Dell Backup and Recovery the latest version is here:
http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER02909509M/1/Backup-and-Recovery_Application_64M9D_WN32_1.8.1.71_A00.EXE
This will create a new recovery partition on your system that is Windows 8.1 with Update 1. You may then switch for a Microsoft Account.

Sound over HDMI works, but laptop sound isn't working after...

Hey,
First, sound over HDMI was not working on my laptop, but when I followed this section of Alsa Wiki it worked.
So I created the ~/.asoundrc file containing:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
But now, when I unplug my HDMI cable, and want to listen to music using my laptop built-in speakers/jack speakers, it doesn't work anymore, even if I restart Alsa.
In fact, I need to delete the .asoundrc file AND restart Alsa in order to get it work.
Is there a way to make both sound over HDMI, and built-in speakers works automatically depending on if my laptop is/is not connected to my TV ?
Thanks

You need to restore the card and/or device number to those for your laptop speakers, as determined by:
aplay -l
To do this automatically, you will need to use scripts called by udev, as described a little further down.

ATV Gen 1 - Remote is working but the ATV isn't responding?

my remote for my ATV gen 01, is connecting with the ATV as the light responds on the front when i press a comand, but the ATV isnt responding and wont move accordingly though the menu...?? help..?

Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

EA4500 Guest Network not working

A few days ago I saw there was an upgrade for my router. I clicked on it and away I went. Since updating my guest network isn't working. My android and Kindle HD find the guest network, attach but no prompt for password ever shows up like it did before. The web page will time out and die. Does anyone have a clue why my devices don't prompt for a password anymore?

Trying to set up a wireless guest network using Airport base station. The first network setup was fine but the second one doesn't work. Any suggestions?

I purchased the new Airport base station that allows for a wireless setup of a primary network and a guest network. The primary network installation worked great but I cannot get the guest network to work properly. Any suggestions on how to make it work?

The AirPort base station is designed to connect to a simple modem......not a modem/router or gateway device that is often furnished to users by Internet Service Providers.
So, the first troubleshooting question would be to find out what the make and model of the device that you call your "modem" might be.....to see if you have the right kind of product that will allow the Guest Network to operate correctly.

Airport Extreme Problem. Guest network works, but nothing else!!!

An hour or so ago, my network stopped working. My guest one works, but not my main 2.4 or 5 ghz network. I tried the Airport utility but it can't read the configuration file. HELP!!

Please power down the AirPort Extreme and your computer.
Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Exptreme.
Power up the AirPort Extreme first, then your computer
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the word "Status" and a window will open with information about any errors on the AirPort Extreme.

Yes.
Bluetooth PAN refers to a BT personal area network

I am having problems signing into the network at my school. The PC laptops work but Macs show the fact that the network is being upgraded but the district office insists it isn't.

I can connect to the guest network on my Mac but when I open Firefox, the main authentication page where I type in the user name and password states that the network is being upgraded and will not be available for use. The main district office technician says the network should be fine and can connect with his windows laptop just fine. Are there some things i need to change in the Firefox preferences that would fix this problem for my Mac?

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

My new iphone4 connected to the internet fine at the store today, but will not connect to my wifi at home - it sees the guest network, but does not give me a place to enter the password

I just got a new iphone 4 (my first one) and the internet worked great at the store, as well as in the parking lot at the grocery store on the way home - yes I was playing with it! Anyway, now that I'm home and the store is closed, it won't connect to my home wifi. It sees the guest network, but it doesn't give me place to put in the password, so I'm not sure if that's why it won't work. Also, I don't know what settings to put in for the screen that comes after the network choice screen - it has IP Addresses with DHCP, BootP, and Statis (I don't know what any of these are or mean!) It also has a 'renew lease' button that I have no idea what to do with, and it has a section with HTTP proxy that is highlighted "off" but also has 'manual' and 'auto' options - maybe these are not set correctly?
Very frustrating that there is no manual, and the website doesn't really help with this at all. Thanks so much!

If you look at the top left of your screen you will either see a 3G (or 4G if you have AT&T) or you will see the wi-fi symbol. If you don't see the wi-fi symbol you are connecting to Gmail through your cellular data plan, not via wi-fi.
To answer your question, it doesn't happen often but when it does the steps I mentioned above will normally resolve it. Hopefully you won't have any further problem with this.

Guest network does not work when bridging airport express to extreme

Hello everyone,
i just upgraded my airport extreme 5th gen and airport express (dual band) to 7.6.3 which is supposed to enable guest network extenstion..
my airport extreme is hardwired to airport express (set as bridged mode), eveything works fine with internet connectivity and roaming between the two since both are set with the same ssd name and wpa pass, i have enabled guest network on both to test the new update, which worked fine with airport extreme, then i went downstairs to test airport express guest network which didnt work.. i can see and join the network, IPs are set correctly exactly like airport extreme.
while testing airport express guest network i noticed that i can only browse google website or google search results, youtube website can be accessed too but it will not broadcast youtube videos.. any other website cannot be accessed thru airport express guest network..
since airport express guest network is providing a very limited access i tried enabling vpn on my iphone and managed to get full access with extremely slow speed.. can this be a bug on the firmware, did anyone find a solution???
Thanks

AirPort Extreme is the main base station handlng DHCP and NAT for the network. Normally, I do not use the Guest Network feature of this dual band router, but decided to check out the new firmware.
The AirPort Express is normally connected back to the AirPort Extreme via a wired Ethernet connection so it functions as a separate access point in a roaming network configuration.
I tried out the Guest Network option in the new firmware on the AirPort Express and had no issues. Then, decided to try the Express out as a test connecting using wireless only. I moved it to a location that was about 30 feet and a few rooms away from the AirPort Extreme and enabled the Guest Function with no problems.
I would not expect your setup to work with the Guest Network features, since you do not have an Apple router installed and functioning as the main router for the network. That would be the device that "creates" the Guest Network and other AirPorts "extend" it using either an Ethernet or wireless connection.
Apple used VLAN for the Guest Network feature before and I assume that has been expanded somewhat with the new feature to extend the Guest Network option to other Apple routers on a network.

EA4500 guest network re-authentication doesn't work

I have successfully set up a guest network on my EA4500. Guest laptop associates with guest SSID just fine. Then via IE, it gets prompted for the guest password, which is entered and accepted just fine. At this point guest laptop is on the network. Hooray!
BUT... at some point the guest laptop will need to reauthenticate (I don't know what the timeout is, but maybe one or two days?). Anyway, it's at this point that IE presents the guest network login page. But now after typing in the password, "enter" or clicking on the button does nothing. It looks like the guest web page doesn't get loaded properly or completely, so the reauthentication can't complete, therefore can't get to the internet. So, while in this state, I've also tried Firefox and Chrome, and same thing, no action when trying to submit the guest password. Tried rebooting guest laptop, and still same problem. Only thing I've found so far that works is to reboot the router. So I'm guessing there's a problem with the guest/web server on the router?? It's a real pain to have to reboot the router every day or two, when I've had other Linksys routers run for months without having to touch them.
I was running CCC 2.1.38 when I first noticed the problem. Since then I've downgraded to Classic 2.0.37, but it seems I still have the same problem. Again, I can connect & authenticate just fine initially, but when reprompted after some period of time, it doesn't work.
I've tried contacting Cisco support, but it looks like I'm at 91 days since purchase and thus outside of my 90-day complimentary support, so they happily provided me with the premium support options just to have the honor of talking with them. Guess I shouldn't have spent so much time trying to figure this out myself.
I've searched the forums here,but so far haven't found any answers (I do see posts where the guest web page isn't presented at all, but in my case the page is presented, just can't do anything). Anyone seen this or have any ideas?

jaymay -- I agree there's no harm in a reset; just the time to reconfigure, reenter DHCP reservations, etc. I'll keep this as an option as I troubleshoot, but see next...
TEXXSHARKK -- good news/bad news ... I ended up not yet resetting. Instead, since I had this problem first with CCC firmware 2.1.38 (Build 138828 - the automatically pushed update), I reverted back to Classic 2.0.37. Still same problem with guest re-authentication. Only workaround was to reboot the router. That's when I first posted.
So, since I had the problem with both CCC and Classic firmware, I ended up going back to CCC. To do that, I needed to manually update, which is 2.1.38 (Build 138880 for web manual download only). SInce (re)updating the firmware, I haven't had a repeat of the original problem. It's been about a week now, and the guest laptop has gone through a number of re-authentications, all without problem. For continued troubleshooting, I've been periodically connecting my iPad, BlackBerry, etc, to the guest network, and they get through the authentication page just fine as well. So that's the good news in that the problem "seems" to have gone away.
The bad news is that it's still unexplained:
- There's what I assume is a just a minor build difference between the two CCC firmwares, so it seems unlikely that would make a difference?
- Could be just the fact of reburning the firmware corrected whatever the problem was -- a la doing a reset, even though I didn't reconfigure, just firmware (re)update
- Could be the problem is still there biding its time, waiting for me to think it's forever gone, only to pounce again
If the problem does reappear, I'll update here.

Guest Network Not Working On Airport Time capsule

Whenever I enable the guest network and join it, it joins fine. but it wont load any webpages or the app store, or anything. all the devices im trying to connect, connect to the guest network fine. but they just wontt get wifi signal from the TC.
I can get the normal and 5GHz network to work.
I have the TC router connected to a Tp Link modem and setup as its own network.
If i change the router mode on the TC to DHCP and NAT it works but the amber light flashes on the TC which annoys me. then it stops working and i end up having to change under network in airport utility to off (bridge mode)
Please help somebody???
Any help will be much appreciated

Check the client is getting proper DNS address .. there is a bunch of bugs..
The main bug is that guest network does not actually work when the TC is in off bridge mode.. it looks like it is going to work but it doesn't.
The TC must be the main router of the network..
So bridge your TP-Link and use PPPOE client in the TC if that is allowed by your ISP.
Or simply ignore the double NAT and then the light will go green and not bother you any more..
Or an even better solution.. use the TP-Link wireless for guest.. and use the TC in bridge for main network.. there is nothing wrong with doing that.. and in fact it will work far better since guest network is still sharing the wireless on the TC and slowing it down.

Guest network is working but normal network isn't
