HDHomerun Won't Connect Wirelessly

I bought the HDHomerun Network Dual Tuner for HDTV to broadcast TV on my MacBook Pro.  For some reason I cannot get the MacBook to connect to the device using my AirPort Express Router.  It works if I hook up the HDHomeRun via an ethernet cable. Firewall is off.  Help!!

I just opened a HDHOMERUN. My set up here is a Mac Mini (2012) and XBMC GOTHAM running on it for the media center. My hope is that I will eventually integrate the tuner into XBMC and have one nifty interface for everything media oriented. I forked out some cash for the EyeTV software (Tunes in the channels, gives a gorgeous EPG/DVR for the HDHOMERUN. It's excellent, by the way. However I have the HDHOMERUN setup across a long room, 25 feet from the Mac. It flawlessly, wirelessly transmits the cable signal over my home network to the EyeTV software. Viewing this way is flawless, so far. I have now caused my eyes to glaze over - caused from reading blogs and forum tips an how to EXACTLY integrate the HDHOMERUN into XBMC. Scripts, Python, .STRM files, and holy crap, what are these people talking about? So for now, my cable cutting route has been a little less than perfect, but I am still enjoying the endeavor and the cost savings. More specifically to your question, The HDHOMERUN MUST BE CONNECTED VIA ETHERNET. It says so in the quick start guide mine came with. I have the HDHR4.

  • Macbook won't connect wirelessly on home network

    Hey guys,
    I see that a lot of you are having the same issue I am. I have a Macbook that I got the summer of 2008. Up until Thursday, it would connect wirelessly to my E-wire router and network just fine. Then it quit. Later that night, I went up to school for a class, and it connected just fine to the wireless network up there, but will not connect wirelessly to my home network. I have since gotten a new router (Netgear) and reconfigured everything (again), including security and all updates. Airport shows that I am connected to my network, and I can load web pages when I am plugged into the router via ethernet cable (as I am now) but when I try to launch Mozilla or Safari wirelessly, I get the "Server cannot be found" error message.
    I am connected to my network, I have tried shutting off Airport and restarting it, as well as quitting my browser and reopening it, and rebooting my Macbook all together. And I also went in and manually entered my IP address, which is what allowed me to connect to the network via ethernet cable in the first place.
    Any theories why my Macbook (which is newer) won't connect wirelessly whereas my roommates older Macbook doesn't have any issue connecting wirelessly from right next to me? And I know that it's not an issue of too many people trying to be on the network at once, since it's just the two of us at most, and I'm the only one here right now.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Is your router a model that supports a/b/g/n? If you turn off N will it work? If your N is setup at 40MHz slots it may not work as well. Can you take your wireless router somewhere else for testing? I assume you might have some issue where you are at with your Mac and that router. When you open Apple Menu/About this Mac/More Info../Network/Airport does it show your network there? From a working machine can you see your Mac from your router web interface? FYI if your router was an Apple product(Airport Express or Airport Extreme/Time Capsule) you could see all your wireless clients via the Airport Utility, even signal strength and connection speed...

  • HP Officejet 7612 won't connect wirelessly since Windows 10 update

    Update: I have the IP Address settled. I actually think it isn't a wireless problem... because the blue light is on the wireless symbol on the printer. When I get to the install network printer stage, it takes ages, and then says "unsuccessful network installation" so that is the real problem. Whether that also means the wireless connection between the printer and the computer is not established I am unclear. So hope someone can help  Thanks Selene

    Hi I am stuck. When I first set up my HP Officejet 7612 on the same computer I am using now, everything went fine. I set the printer to print wirelessly and it worked great. I didn't use the printer for a week. Then I upgraded to the free Windows 10. Was running Windows 8. The computer- laptop is only 7 months old. Today, day two of operating Windows 10, the printer won't print wirelessly. The print window came up as if I was sending a fax, and there was no HP Officejet 7612 in the drop down menu of printers, just the Fax HP Officejet 7612. Problem solving done to date:Deleted HP software  off laptop and reinstalled everything. Still on wireless connection.Re-set printer to default settings and re-set up wireless on printer using the wizzard. Still no wireless connection.Rebooted internet. Didn't help.Printed HP Network Configuration Page and noted IPv4 IP Address was different on page one to page two. Tried 'other' IP Address, system told me that definitely was wrong.Retired original IP address - no improvement. In the middle of all this trouble shooting, I realised that the initial IP address that the printer gave me at the very beginning of this problem was one digit different to what it gave me tonight when I sat down to try and fix this issue. I am about to try the this discovered IP address. But if anyone can help, I would really appreciate your assistance. I am just stabing in the dark now. Thank you for your time. Selene

  • Canon MG 31222 won't connect wirelessly to a Mac book Pro.

    Trying to get a Canon MG 31222 to connect wirelessly to a Mac book Pro running OS 10.6.8.   I've turned off and on both printer and router with no success. In the print and fax dialog box, the printer is not listed, nor is it listed when I try to add a printer. Canon's site is useless. Their FAQs are useless. Anyone have any idea how to get this to work? No WPS button on printer. 

    If you are using Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 -10.8 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
    Click on Continue
    Highlight your device on the left pane
    Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click Continue and let it finish
    Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    Restart your Mac.
    Now reset the printing system:
    - Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    - Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    Finally, download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

  • IPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS won't connect wirelessly at home when PCs are off.

    Dear Apple.com,
    I have been using iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS wirelessly at home no problems.
    I use a MAC filter on an unsecured wireless network. Only entered MAC addresses can connect wirelessly.
    However, when I turn off all the PCs at home the iPhone find the wireless network and show connected, but cannot browse websites.
    The router Linksys WRT610N is always on, so the wireless connection and permission for the iPhone MAC addresses to access the wireless connection should work?
    Any ideas?

  • MacBook Pro won't connect wirelessly after 10.5.8 update

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop, which was acquired in 2006. I have used it with my Linksys WRT54G router successfully for years but since I recently updated to 10.5.8, it was able to connect one time, which lasted for a day or so. Now it no longer can connect.
    I am using Automatic DHCP with my wireless router's WPA Personal 2 with password security and yet it appears that Airport gets stuck because it assigns itself a IP number and of course, that appears to be the wrong number. I have tried to go and use manual settings, copying the settings from my iPod Touch and iPad. Ironically, when I tried that, the MBP attempt seemed to "kick' the two other devices off the network and I had to physically shut down the MBP completely and then reset the iPad a few times in order for it to reconnect again. The iPod Touch only had to be shut down and restarted and it was back in business.
    Any ideas? One question: Can I set my network settings manually or do I have to use Automatic DHCP? Oh yeah, I have tried the tips that William Boyd provided in the thread +"MacBook connects, but MacBookPro won't"+ as seen here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10695921&start=1
    Tried them all. Nothing helped.

    I went into my MBP Network settings for Airport and instead of using DHCP, I clicked on Advanced and entered the data for my server, router and DNS manually. I also used an IP number provided by my Linksys router but I adjusted the last three digits so they would not conflict with the last three digits of my iPad and iPod Touch. Once I got all those elements in manually, I was able to connect with all three of my devices at one time with no conflicts.
    What used to be automatic is no more. I have to do it manually. For all three devices...

  • My printer won't connect wirelessly any more

    Since upgrading to the latest software my HP wireless printer won't print from any of my devices. I've rebooted both my iPad &amp; mac but still no joy.

    Turn off everything including the router. Wait thirty seconds.
    Turn on router and wait until it finishes startup and indicates a good connection to the Internet.
    Turn on computer. Wait until it finishes startup.
    Turn on iPad or iPhone.
    Then open iTunes on the computer. Use the menu to check for updates. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
    Connect your iPad using the cable that came with the iPad. Do not use a third part cable.
    Select your iPad in iTunes.
    Click on Summary in iTunes and check the settings for Wi-Fi sync. If Wi-Fi sync is off turn it on. If wifey sync is on turn it off, wait a little but, then turn it back on.

  • Help please! HP 6700 Scanner Won't Connect Wirelessly

    Hi there,
    I recently bought the HP Officejet 6700 and it prints wirelessly without a problem, but will not scan wirelessly.  When I try to "Enable Scan to Computer" I get a "Communication Error" message - unable to communicate with the device.  I have tried unplugging and restarting both the machine and my laptop but no change.  I have also made sure all of the software and firmware are up to date but still no luck.  I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5
    I would really rather not uninstall the software and reinstall it if possible as there are other people in my office who couldn't get their laptop to even print wirelessly on their own printers and I'm worried that could happen to me.  But I am definitely open to any suggestions.  
    Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thank you.

    Hello hpnikki,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having a wireless connectivity issue.
    Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I have located a document that troubleshoots the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
    Thanks for your time.

  • TIme Capsule won't connect wirelessly after restart??  HELP!

    I plug in time capsule and it shows up on Airport Utility. I enter the information it asks for joining an existing wireless network. We have Fios through Verizon and are running a Verizon wireless router. After seeing my wireless network it asks for the Wireless Security choice. It automatically chooses WEP 128bit so I assume this is correct. It also automatically puts in my password (not sure why) but I go ahead and retype the password for our wireless network. Then this is what I get after several minutes:
    "*Airport Utility was unable to find your apple wireless device after restarting.*
    The settings for this Apple wireless device have been successfully updated, but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the Apple wireless device. You may need to select your network from the AirPort menu and try again."
    Then when I run Airport Utility the Time Capsule no longer shows up and the only way to get it back is to push the little pin hole reset button in the back for 5 seconds to completely reset the unit. I have done this no less than 5 times.
    Please advise...any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Jenn

    In case anyone has this same problem and ends up reading my post. I, through the help of a very tech savy friend, was able to solve the problem for the most part.
    Here is, from what I can remember, he did.
    We plugged the TC into one of the LAN ports on the back of my wireless router. We then set the TC up on it's own as a source for connecting to the internet wirelessly. (He had to go into my settings VIA verizon and pull down some codes to make this work.) Once the TC showed up as it's own wireless network on my computer, we were able to do the back up through Time Machine no problem. We ended up just disabling our old verizon wireless router on the server but are keeping it plugged in.
    Hope that helps.

  • G5 won´t connect wirelessly to Airport Extreme

    Have just set up a wireless network with a Time Capsule.
    Wireless connection to two Windows PCs, iPhone and USB printer works fine. But I can only connect my G5 to the Time capsule via ethernet.
    It detects the Air Port when I look at it in System Preferences, I can see the Airport card is active, but when I disconnect the ethernet and try to connect to the Internet via airport, it will not connect.
    How can I make this work?

    Your G5 is not 802.11n capable so make sure that the Time Capsule is configured to work in an 802.11b/g compatible mode.
    If the Time Capsule is operating in an 802.11b/g compatible mode, try setting it to use a channel between 1 and 11. Those are the only channels supported by US based equipment.

  • Mac air won't connect or back up to time machine

    I recently purchased a 3TB Airport Time Capsule.  My Mac Pro happily backs up, but the Mac Air is now refusing to do so using the same set up.  The error message I am getting is:
    There was a problem connecting to the server “Andrew's AirPort Time Capsule”.
    The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    I have tried rebooting the Time Capsule, and also this fix:
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click Renew DHCP lease.
    Not sure what else to do.  I've noticed that others are having this problem

    Thanks Jane, your help is appreciated.  I've updated the firmware as you suggest, but it still won't connect wirelessly.  I've connected the MacAir via thunderbolt and ethernet and can now back up, but don't seem to be able to resolve the fundamental problem.  I thought it could be a password issue, but that is fine.  A trip to the store I think.

  • HELP - Vista won't connect to WRT150N

    I just installed a new WRT150N and have Windows XP, Mac OSX, and Linux boxes connecting just fine. The XP and Mac machine's are wireless, the rest are wired. But I have one Vista machine that won't connect wireless. I think it has to do with the SSID which is not showing up correctly on Vista. The router has the default 'linksys' SSID, but on Vista it shows up as just 'li'. I've tried to create a new connection with the correct SSID but can't seem to get rid of the old one or find a way to correct it. Anyone know if this is a known problem and/or how to fix it? Thanks, Steve

    For the record I got this working by doing two things...not sure which actually fixed it as I did them both and haven't tried to narrow it down. 1) Upgraded the bios (I'm hoping this is what fixed it) 2) In the wireless settings, changed the Network Mode from 'Mixed' to 'BG-Mixed'. This works for me as I only have G wireless cards at the moment. I haven't tried setting this back to Mixed to see if its just the bios that fixed it. Hope this helps someone else... - Steve

  • My HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 won't connect to my wireless router

    This is bizarre.  I have had my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 for about 6 months.  It has generally worked fine, and we have used it wirelessly only.  But now it refuses to connect to the router.  It can FIND the router, and it can find other networks in the area, but it won't connect to the router.  I ran the Wireless Network Test, and the results say:
    Wireless On - Pass // Wireless Working - Pass //
    Network Name (SSID) found - Pass //  Wireless Networks Detected - 9
    Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings - Pass / No Filtering - FAIL //
    So it recommends solution as follows: "1 If MAC Address filtering is enabled, and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the Mac address of your printer to the list of permitted devices for your router before continuing."
    Except, guess what, I don't have MAC Address filtering enabled.  I wouldn't know how to do that, much less check for it.
    Also, before today, this was never a problem.  HELP!
    Thanks....
    If you are interested, here's more detail and background.  
    Before today, the only problem we have had is that frequently our Apple laptop (OS X 10.6) has trouble connecting to the printer.  This has been odd because the printer is connected to the network, and so is the laptop, but the laptop can't find the printer - it thinks the printer is "offline" (even though it's not).  Usually, if I wait a while, it will find the printer, and it will resolve itself work fine.  If not, we sometimes have found that it can fix itself if you restart the laptop -- restarting the printer does not make a difference.   In fact, I did exactly that today, and it resolved itself.  And I printed.  Fine, right?
    But then I wanted to do more printing, and the problem of the laptop not finding the printer came up again, so I decided to really "get to the bottom of this."  I don't remember exactly what I did, but somehow I was persuaded by the online help, that the correct solution would be to go into my System Preferences / Print and Fax, and click on the "-", which de-installs the printer, with the idea of re-installing the printer.  But then when I tried to re-install the printer, it could not find the printer.  Ugh!  Wierdly, it found an 8600 Scanner, but not an 8600 printers.  After installing and de-installing the 8600 scanner a few times, I eventually deinstalled everything, and I decided to start from scratch.  I got my HP disk, and installed all the software again from the beginning (even though it was already there), and then it looked for my printer, but couldn't find it.  So then I got a USB cord, and plugged that in.
    So, now I have a situation where I do have a working printer via the USB cord, but no wireless connection at all.  In particular, since the Office Jet Pro 8600 won't connect to the router, I don't know what else to do.  My Apple MacBook pro is 2 feet away from the printer, and it is connected to the router just fine (as is my blackberry), and I have never before had a problem connecting to the wireless router by the printer.
    Any suggestions?

    There are two things that can trip the mac filtering test to fail:  actual MAC address filtering setup (sounds like this is not the case) and using wireless channel 6 or automatic for wireless channel in the wireless network settings (in the router).  Since it does show failed for MAC filtering and you do not use this option, try changing the wireless channel in the router to 1 or 11.  Those two channels provide the best compatibility with printers due to less interference.  Almost everything defaults to auto or 6 for the channel and this causes a lot of interference.  This change should not affect anything at all.  To do this, you may need to contact the router manufacturer as the process differs from router to router.
    What brand and model is the router?
    Has anything in the network settings changed at all?
    What version is the Mac OS X?  There may be additional steps to take as it sounds like there are two separate issues involved and this could be revisited later.
