Help with 3945ABG Wireless

Hello to the Board
I'd be most grateful is someone could please help me get my wireless connection up and running on my HP dv2000. I have installed network manager which connects fine when using wired connection.
When I click the network manager icon I can even see my Hub but I just cant connect ('Wireless Networks' is grey and says 'Disconected'). I'm sure it's something embarassingly simple but regardless, I am starting to get frustrated !!
Here is some info:

Apologies if I have left something of importance out. This is the Newbie forum !!
Thanks for reading..

How could we know if *your* machine has a hardware switch? Think about it.
Anyway, while a ipw3945 problem was reported for 3.4-rc1, it's possible that backporting stuff to 3.3.1 broke that version too. So try this patch: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=13 … 427374&w=2
Kernel 3.4-rc2 has this patch already applied, so you could also try that. Yert another possibility is using wireless-compat.

Help with my wireless network

On Friday it asked me for my password to my wireless network at my house, so I put it in. Then it said unable to join. I think I got the password wrong. Now when it asks me if I want to join it doesn't ask me for my password it just says unable to join. I can't talk on the phone and go online at the same time anymore. Can someone help with me this so I am able to put in my password for this? Thanks!

Help with wired/wireless solution

Ok.. I just purchased a G5 2.7 .. my old Mac is an iMac G4 1.25.
Both computer are in the same room, and I need both to have internet access.
Based on what I've read in the forums, it would be better to have a wired internet connection for speed, but I have an Airport Card and Airport Express I can use.
I would like to have have the G5 wired, as this would be my main computer, and perhaps use the Airport Card and Express for the iMac.
I don't know if this is a good solution, or if there is an easier way to have both computers with internet access. I don't know how to use both the wired and wireless combo as my DSL box only has one Ethernet connection.
I'd rather not have to spend more money on a router, being I just purchased the Airport Card/Express. Speed and security is the most important issue, especially for the new G5. I won't be using the iMac that often, so speed is not a big issue for it.
Any thoughts, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please keep in mind that I'm not a techie in anyway.. so any help in simple terms would be great

Glad to hear it is working for you.
The reason you may not be seeing any bandwidth difference may be due to what you are measuring. If you are measuring bandwidth of your DSL connection, that is how fast each computer can upload and download to the Internet, you shouldn't see any difference. This is because your internet connection speed is relatively slow (probably somewhere between 340 kbps and 3 mbps), compared to the available bandwidth of a wired Ethernet connection (can be 100 or 1000 Mbps) or wireless ( 54 mbps). With those kind of numbers, you should see no difference in testing bandwidth of your Internet connection from either computer.
Where you would see a difference is if you were measuring how fast your computers could transfer a file between each other. If they were connected by wired Ethernet, the larger available bandwidth of the connection would make file transfer much faster then the speed seen if they were connected via wireless.
Just a note. All the figures I used for Ethernet and Wireless are theoretical maximums, and currently no equipment will actually reach those speeds, but they are easier to use to illustrate a point then trying to adjust the numbers for overhead and performance issues.

Urgent help with WRT110 Wireless connection

i have got this wireless router a few months ago. since i have gotten it, i have only used hard wired to my desktop. I got a laptop recently, running Vista. I am trying to setup using the wireless with WPA2 personal security. However, i am not supposed get it to connect. It told me unidentified network, and it's not going through to the global earth icon under "Network and Sharing Center".
Now, i have searched solution on google, this is not my first experience setting up wireless, i used to have a WRT54G wireless and it works fine.
Now i have tried all these procedure below:
1) Open the setup page of the router and Under the Wireless tab,Click on Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 50,Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Also reduce the MTU to 1400 and click on save settings..Now,check.
2) On all Vista and Win 7 computers, disable IPv6 under the LAN properties for the adapters.
It still doesn't work. Can anybody here help me with this issue? thanks alot

Maybe this will help you but what I do with my adapters when installing is disabling my internet connection, firewall, virus and almost everything. I also turn the internet off then I instal the software. You can try that.cheapest voipcheapest voip callsOSU Beaversfree voip phone calls

Help with T41 wireless driver for Win7

Hi, I have several Tseries (T40, T41, and T43) and I am migrating them to Win7. The T40 went fine, which has a Cisco wireless adapter. I am having trouble with my T41 model 2374-7FG MARG6.
Can you please direct me to the correct driver?
Can you please tell me which adapter I have? The matrix shows it can be three different types and I have tries all drivers, I think.
Thank you,
Rick

Rick, welcome to the forum,
you should have the Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adapter. According to the driver matrice site The Vista driver was available through Windows Update, have you tried running Win. Update to see if it finds it for you?
Hope this helps

Help with the wireless, please.

I am not having a problem with the iPod's wireless, because it seems to work fine at my friend's house on his unprotected wireless.
The problem is my secured, with a WEP key, internet.
It worked for a little while, but after a month it decided to not work. It connects when the network isn't secured, so I know it's an issue with the WEP key. I want to change my security to a WPA key, and I use an Actiontec GT701-WG Wireless router/gateway. I went to change the security to WPA, but it asks for a whole slew of things I don't know. As anybody ever setup a network with this type of router, and if yes, please tel me how to setup a WPA key!
Thanks in advance for any help.

Oh, and just in case this information is useful, my iPod can connect to the network, password and SSID are accepted. The little "wi-fi" icon appears at the top with a full signal.

Any help with a wireless printer setup?

I recently got a Dell, and an wireless printer with it. The set-up seems pretty straight forward, but I get to the point where on my printer's screen, it gives me a PIN number I am supposed to enter on the WPS page. Problem is, I can't find anywhere on the WPS page where I can enter this number... is there an easy way to simply add another device?
THanks in advance!

If it was working then it's something simple. Simple things are usually the hardest to trouble shoot.
Just to begin turn everything off. computer, router, cable modem, everything. relax, take a break and then turn the internet modem on first, then the computer or router, then the computer. I'm hoping your online by then if not...
Then there is something other than simple but fixable.
So I'm thinking... virus software up to date?

Help with a wireless bridge

How do I get the airport extreme to broadcast to a U.S Robotics model 5430 wireless g bridge? I want to hook up the bridge to my directv box for on demand. THANKS!!!

It is possible that your US Robotics wireless bridge is having difficulty connecting to the AEBSn when the AEBSn is operating in the 802.11n radio mode. Again the default mode for the AEBSn is 802.11n (b/g-compatible). Since you are not running wireless encryption that issue would be a mute one. I was just checking because the bridge only supports the WEP standard for encryption.
I suggest that you reconfigure your AEBS for 802.11g only or 802.11b/g compatible radio mode to see if the bridge will connect to it now. Note: In order to access these non-"n" modes, you need to hold down the <Option> (Mac) or <Control> (PC) key before making the radio mode selection in the AirPort Utility.

Where can you reach someone to help with a wireless billing dipute

Have tried multiple 800 numbers with multiple reps and they point to some where else for answers. No one takes ownership of an issue and no one works to resolve a problem. Is there a corporate office that can be contacted that has some authority?

You can file a notice of dispute:
http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/Notice_of_Dispute.pdf

Just switched from verizon to comcast and need help with me wireless.

Im on my basic setup page but i dont know how to configure it to work. if there is a step by step instuction page for this that would be great

You need to configure the router first as per the ISP settings.
Open the set up page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer Browser and type the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin and click on ok.On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone""... Click on enable>>>Click Clone & click save settings ...Check WAN Ip on Status page of router .... If getting Valid Ip .... try going online...If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then again check the WAN Ip address ..... and try to go Online.

Need help with my E2100L Wireless Router

I moved back home with the parents after graduating from college while I'm searching for a job and I noticed my parent's wireless internet connection was really poor. I'm normally pretty decent with computers but I haven’t been able to fix this problem so I am hoping if I explain it to you fine folks and can point me in the right direction to getting everything running properly.
The problem I’m having is with the wireless signal fluctuating frequently when I’m not in the same room with the router. I know the issue is not with Comcast or the modem because when I remove the router and just plug into the modem I get 25 Mbps all day long when I run a test on Speedtest.net.
The setup is Comcast Internet 25 Mbps, SB6120 Modem, and Linksys E2100L Wireless Router with WPA2/WPA security activated.
Before I touched anything the modem and router were originally in my parent’s bedroom. I was getting speeds of less than 1 Mbps if any when I was in my bedroom so I moved them into the living room to be more centrally located. Our house is a one story house with bedrooms divided by the living room. The move seemed to help a little but something was still really wrong so I did a hard reset on the router. I setup up the network manually by going through the settings on 192.168.1.1. which made things work a little better. However I still wasn’t getting close to the speeds I should have been getting and when in my bedroom the connection would sometimes drop out altogether. So I did another hard reset on the router and this time I used the CD that came with it (Cisco Connect) to setup the network. That has got my problem halfway fixed because now if I am in the living room and my laptop is connected wirelessly when I run the speed test I get 25 Mbps.
I thought I have solved everything because in my bedroom the signal was now very good at 20 Mbps… except the 20 Mbps didn’t last. It held around 20 Mbps for the about first 10 minutes but then dropped to about 16 Mbps for a while. A day later when I run the test I now range anywhere from 3 Mbps to 14 Mbps. There seems to be no consistency. I did a hard reset again and setup the network using the CD and the problem persists. I get 20 Mbps in the very beginning and then it lowers from there and fluctuates frequently.
I thought it might be a firmware issue so I successfully updated it today to the latest firmware “1.0.05 build 4 Mar 8, 2012” but the same thing happens. I just don’t get it. Why am I able to get 20 Mbps for the first few min in my bedroom and then it’s a crapshoot thereafter? If it were interference wouldn’t the interference always be there and not be a gradual onset? Why when I’m in the living room with the router is it perfect at 25 Mbps but as soon as I go to my bedroom I get a much much lower connection speed.
I could handle the speed being lower if it was consistent but it’s not. This post has taken me about 20 min to type and while doing so I ran the test a few times at a couple minutes apart and got 3 Mbps, 7 Mbps, and 10 Mbps speeds. Someone please help! This is driving me crazy!!!

When in my bedroom there are only 2 other networks available to join that belong to neighbors but their signal strength is fair at best while my signal dances between being excellent and good. There is no microwave oven, cordless phone, or garage between me and the router. When I'm in my bedroom I'm no more than 10 feet from the actual router and only seperated by a wall and I'm pretty sure its not a brick wall.
Again I don't understand how it could be interference. If there was something interfering wouldn't it always be interfering? Like I said in my first post every time I reset the network I get speeds of 20 Mbps for the first few min in my bedroom and then it gradually lowers and I get a fluctuating speed between 3 and 14 Mbps.
In the settings there is no channel width option of 40 MHz only. I get "20 MHz only" and "Auto(20MHz or 40MHz)" as my options. I have tried them both but don't really notice a difference.
I am going to try the insider program today to see what its results are.

The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet. Are you still using the same wireless router. The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace. For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio. I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

Need Help setting up 2 wireless internet computers with 54g wireless router

I setup the 54g wireless router using the setup disk. It appears to have worked find and the first laptop has wireless internet. I am not familiar with setting up a totally wireless network so I am not sure if I did the rest right. I then setup the 54g wireless internet router on the 2nd computer. It appears to have loaded but will not connect to the internet. I looked at the linksys setup etc... for both computers and all is the same including the WPA key, IP address, and the rest. No differences noted. I have no idea why the 2nd computer does not have wireless internet access. It has wired access only. The 2nd computer shows the wireless network but won't connect to it. I click on it and hit refresh and nothing happens. I am at a loss as to what to do now.
With 2 wireless computers, must there be a main computer and a secondary computer? The 1st computer also doesn't have access to windows network setup for some reason. It tells me to go to the knowledge base at microsoft.com and look up 871122. No idea why the windows network setup is not working. It did work before I got a new cable service provider and modem. However, the windows network setup is working on the 2nd computer. Any help is appreciated.

does the 2nd computer even need the router info loaded into it like the 1st computer or should it be enough that the wireless network was created on the 1st computer? In other words, would having the router info loaded in both computers cause the 2nd one to not connect? I have spent hours on this and I am very confused now.
My router connects fine to the cable modem. the 1st computer connects fine to the router and gets the wireless internet without a problem. Again, the 2nd computer shows the network name but won't connect to it. help please!!
