Having trouble connecting to a WPA2 network. [SOLVED]

I decided to dive into Arch today and was amazed at how smooth the installation was, I read the documentation and installed the driver for my Broadcom BCM4313 adapter but I can't seem to figure out how to connect to my WPA2 personal encrypted network or any network for that matter.
I've tried reading some of the methods but none have worked for me, maybe I'm not doing it properly.
If anyone has any suggestions please do give me some and it would be nice if someone told me what to add so it will connect on startup.
Thanks!
EDIT: I downloaded WPA2GUI and it worked perfect.

Try WICD.
Add @wicd to DAEMONS in your /etc/rc.conf, run "/etc/rc.d/wicd start" and put wicd-gtk to your .xinitrc or start-up applications.

  • MacBook 10.6.7. is having trouble connecting to my wireless network.

    Hi all~
    I am basically having trouble with my wireless connection. I know I have  a functioning connection because my girlfriend is able to connect and surf just fine. However, I try to log on and get the usual error messages. I've tried the network diagnostic and the setup assistant to no avail. They tell me to contact my ISP, but my ISP can't find a problem. Any advice out there? Has my airport gone crazy....is this a hardware issue??

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

  • Having trouble connecting Wireless Router to Network

    Hey everyone, I ordered two Encore ENHWI-2AN3 wireless routers and am having trouble configuring the one I want to use as the wireless access point (other one will be used as a repeater.)
    I followed the advice here
    http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Wireless-Router-Doesn-t-Work-After-35ft/m-p/206716/highli...
    I disabled DHCP, and set a new IP on the local network. I disabled WiFi on the verizon router as well. When I run an ethernet cable between the two using LAN ports, and try to use WiFi I get a signal, but it doesn't go load.
    I'm assuming I need to tweak something in the "internet" section of the Encore router, the main options are Dynamic or Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP.
    To clarify, I am not looking to replace the Verizon router, only use the Encore router for Wifi

  • Having trouble connecting to my wireless network

    Hi everyone, my iPad gen 3 can not connect to my wireless network. I have to unplug my router, and repower for it to connect. Even going into settings on the iPad, and putting in the password for the wireless connection, the iPad gives me an error message that the password is incorrect. I was thinking of updating to a new router. My current router is about 3 years old. I am also running Network Magic from Cisco. Can anyone give me any ideas for a solution to this problem? As always, thank you for your help.

  • Having trouble connecting to existing home network

    I have US Robotics Wireless Turbo Access Point & Router. We have a mixture of PCs and Macs that connect without problems. Router is set Mac Filter Disabled and Wep disabled.
    I have a new imac 17inch with Airport Extreme.Using Network Diagnostics the network name is found but then says it needs a network password. Box asking for Wireless Security - Wep Password.
    We have older imac, ibook, a new powerbook all connecting without any problems.
    Help appreciated as I am a convert from pc and excited to get on.
    It may be relevant that during set up when it failed to connect to our network by name, I clicked on 'wireless'. It obviously found a connection of sorts and set up. I was puzzled why access was so slow. I assumed it was connected to out own network. Thank you.
    Imac 17inch   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Using US Robotics Wireless Turbo Access Point & Router

    Hi Duane. Thank you for responding so quickly. On Wednesday I bought a Mac Mini from our new Apple Store here in UK. It was dead-on-arrival. Took it back and decided to go for the imac to avoid any further frustration and go completely mac.
    It is definitely looking at my network. If I turn the router off it disappears from the drop down menu at top of screen. It reappears when I plug the router back on. So it is recognising that the network exists. When I try through System Preferences, Network, it lists my network - when clicked there is no signal level.
    I get 'There wan error joining the AirPort network etc'.
    When I try through Assistance I get message 'Enter AirPort information .........stating my network requires password etc.
    I am logged onto my router via my pc and WEP is definitely disabled. I am thinking I have another faulty machine.

  • 3510 all in one having trouble connecting to new wireless network

    Ok - just to update, at least the drivers are downloadable now ... I'll see if that resolves my issue. 

    Hi guys.  I just switched to a new modem through my ISP (Rogers) that has a built in router and a much faster connection.  (Previously, this 3510 printer was working just fine over my network with a modem and a router that was separate.)  My computer is hooked into the internet via a direct cable and everyone else in the household connects via wireless, which has been set up and works well.  For some reason though, my 3510 refuses to play nice with the modem and connect to the network.   I've tried plugging it in via usb cable, then going into the settings and clicking on the "convert a usb connected printer to wireless" option.  I hit "yes, access the computer or router", then next, it finds my wireless network with no trouble and I type in the required password and "next" - it then takes a while to go through it's "setting up printer on network" .... and then after a while, I get a "MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router" error.  There IS no MAC filtering.  I have "allow all" set on the router.  This shouldn't be an issue.   Has anyone else had this problem?  Is it just a thing with the newer modem/router combos and these older HP printers?  I tried to update the driver, but your website doesn't seem to be letting folks do that at the moment (some error you're fixing, it says?). If you have any suggestions on how I could get past this problem, I'd really appreciate it.  It's driving me NUTS.  Thanks!  All the best, -- Jodi

  • Deskjet 3051A- having trouble connecting to Verizon MiFi network

    I have a Deskjet 3051A wireless printer at home. I am using it with a Macbook Air. Our wireless network has changed, and I need to connect the printer to the new network, which is a Verizon MiFi network. Is there a way to do this? I have tried restarting the printer, to no avail.

    Hi,
    If you already installed teh Full Feature HP Software temporary connect the printer using USB, go to Applications > Hewlett-Packard > Device Utilities and follow the HP Setup Assistant, you will be provided with an option to connect the printer to your network.
    If there is no Hewlett-Packard folder under applications connect the printer using USB, download and install the software below. be sure to select HP REcommended Software and you will be provided with the option to configure the wireless connection during the installation:

  • I'm having trouble connecting to my wireless network/router

    I see my network but when I try to connect automatically is gives me a timeout message.

  • I have a Verizon IPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 and I'm having trouble connecting to an open network called linksys that says I'm connected with the wifi icon in the menu bar but it's a slow to non existing connection? Anyone in similar situation?

    My other questions were anyone in a similar situation? Should I get wifi in my home? What is the best provider in Chicago?

    Since the network obviously doesn't belong to you, we're not going to be able to suggest much you can do to fix it.  As for getting wifi in your home, do you not already have Internet access? Wireless routers are cheap if you already have wired Internet. If you don't, the "best" provider may not be a relevant question. You probably have 2, maybe 3 choices. Your cable company, your phone company and probably one other choice that is actually running piggyback on either the cable or phone company.  If you're in a high rise, the building may have their own service you can buy into.

  • Does anyone have trouble connecting to their wireless network, after being logged on for some time? Mountain Lion.

    I am having trouble connecting to my wireless network.  It works when I startup my computer but, after a while it can't seem to find the wireless network. I have an Airport Extreme and the light is green. The only way to remedy this problem is to restart my computer. Mountain Lion isn't that great after all not to mention it distorts some images when scrolling. I am kindly asking for some advice, I assume a major update will be coming soon.

    You don't by chance have a "invisible" or "hidden" network enabled on the router?
    Because Mac's won't reconnect automatically now to hidden network only upon reboots, it's sort of like advertising the hidden network if you take the computer elsewhere.
    Also hidden networks are no deterrent to hackers, they see all.
    Also check your time and date, make sure they accurate first, then save that, then make sure it's updated via Apple time servers in your general location (System Preferences > Time and Date) If your being kicked off, your DCHP lease might be expiring too early.

  • I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

    I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

    Try this:
    Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
    Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
    Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
    Apply this.

  • Hi, My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network!??

    Hi,
    My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network.  It identifies my wireless connection but then says 'unable to join the network' with the word 'Dismiss' underneath.  Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks!!

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.  I've tried resetting a few times. There is no 'tick' next to the name of my wireless connection so it won't connect at all.  I think I may have to do something with my router as there is an arrow button to press next to my wireless name, this takes me to a screen which asks for IP address, then has options for DHCP   BootP and Static, it asks for Client ID DNS etc - all gobbledegook to me!!   Perhaps my router is blocking the Ipod?
    Thanks anyway!

  • Im having trouble connecting to my old HP 5MP on small network

    Im having trouble connecting to my old (but still a great printer) HP 5MP which is connected (be causes it has no ethernet built in) via an Ansante eternet/localtalk bridge to the ethernet network and ti my old G4 Power PC Quicksilver (using 10.4.11). That is shared both by ethernet and (via my vodafone wireless router to my 21" iMac Macbook Pro. When I bought my new iMac and MBP I kept my old G4 so I could still use by SCSI Scanmaker E3+ scanner and my non-USB, non ethernet printer by sharing it from the G4. Worked OK but now not so over either wi-fi or ethernet. I just updated to Lion on the iMac and am on Snow Leopard on the MBP and they say they can't find suitable drivers. My work around has been to print to "Mail pdf" to myself and pick it up on the G4 and print from there direct to the 5MP. But now I can't even connect to the 5MP from there since downloading a software update which was something about enhancements to Airport.
    Have tried resetting tie printing system, repairing disc permissions and rebuilding the drive using diskwarrior on t he G4 but now I can't get any mac to see and add the 5MP. My old Epson Photo stylus 1200 works OK on USB but I need my 5MP tp work. Can you help on that please?

    Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
    Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.

  • When trying to use Siri I keep getting this message: "Sorry, I am having trouble connecting to the network."

    I am trying to use Siri, and I get the message "Sorry, I am having trouble connecting to the network."  Is this the expected "growing pains" of this new feature/service, or am I doing something wrong?  Are there any settings that I gotta do before I can use Siri?
    Thanks.

    I've had the same issue with my wife's iPhone, the first night it worked great then nothing.  My iPhone 4s has had no issues.  I disabled Siri and shut the iPhone off, waited a minute or so and turned it back on.  Re-enable Siri, her info populated automatically.  Siri has been working for the last 30 minutes with no problems ??  Server problems, too many things open at once, having the phone loaded to the hilt with no free space?  It could be any number of things, or many thing working together to silence Siri.....good luck all, I hope this helps.
