Home wireless

Just got my new MBP up and running and when I try to use my home wireless network I am prompted for a password. Went a few blocks away to a Starbucks and logged on to my T-Mobile account with no problem.
Now I'm back at home on my old PowerBook and the wireless network works fine. I don't have it set up with any security measures.
But the new MacBook Pro is still being asked for a password.
Help!

You might go to File Cabinet>Utilities>Keychain Access, look up your wireless modem, double click on it and see if somehow a password for it was inadvertently set. If nothing is there you might have to go through resetting you wireless modem via your MBP.

  • Open DNS - For Home Wireless

    Is openDNS be an advantage to my home wireless serving all wireless devices & up internet speed and faster identification?

    There are always pros and cons for everything. If you want to go with OpenDNS consider some of these things:
    Please don’t expect huge gains in browsing speed since OpenDNS only improves the cycle between your computer and the DNS server.
    I got this from this site:
    OpenDNS: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
    " OpenDNS is fast and reliable, more than the service offered by any ISP I have used. In addition, it offers a host of other features: Content Filtering, Phishing Protection, Domain Blocking, Adult Site Blocking, Web Proxy Blocking, Domain Whitelisting, Statistics, Typo Correction, Web Shortcuts.
    When you type in a domain that does not exist, OpenDNS resolves it to it’s own servers and shows search results (powered by Yahoo!) that they hope will help you find the site you were looking for."

  • Home wireless is interrupted by iPad 2?

    I do not have a problem connecting to wireless networks with my iPad 2 anywhere, except my own wireless network.  Every other device, including an iPhone, connects to my home wireless without a problem, but when I select my home network with my ipad, the internet stops working for every device, including my desktop computer and the iPad.  The wireless signal appears to be full, but it doesn't  connect.  I figure it is sharing some signal it shouldn't share with my wireless router, and I've spent several hours trying to remedy this, changing channels on the wireless router, and experimenting with other settings, to no avail.  I haven't been able to find someone else with this exact problem so far, any suggestions?

    I looked to the client list of devices on the router with their IP and MAC addresses, and my iPad was included in that list. So I went to advanced settings and found that IP address was under a static DHCP table, so I removed it from that. It seemed like it was going to work for a moment because the google page loaded while the wireless appeared to be on, (and my speakers buzzed a little when the wireless signal interacted with them) but now I am thinking it was loading using my edge network (I don't pick up 3G where I live) and the "E" just hadn't appeared yet. It switched itself over to edge network, then back to wireless, and now it is isn't loading anything.  It doesn't say "not connected", but just spins on a white screen.  I have reset my router by pulling the power several times while trying to fix this issue in the past, and I reset it again after making these changes just now. I also restarted my ipad.

  • Home Wireless Network & Backup

    Hello-
    Can anyone suggest some helpful resources (e.g., websites) for configuring a home wireless network where different users (e.g., family members) can backup their files via the network instead of having to physically connect their computers to a separate, external drive? Thanks much.

    The new Apple Airport Extreme wireless router provides for this - connecting an external USB drive to the router for saving data and/or for backup purposes by anyone with access to the wireless network.

  • Home wireless connection instable

    Hi,
    I wonder if anybody can suggest me a valid solution:
    I have an IBM thinkpad with an Aironet PCI wireless LAN adapter.
    It worked fine with my home wireless router for months.
    Recently It started to have problems: the connection frequently stops (then after few minutes the software try to reconnect with success).
    The router is ok, as nothing has changed in its cfg and another portable works fine with wireless during stops.
    The only change I've done recently on my thinkpad was enabling a dial-in modem (but I've already disabled it now).
    The SW diagnostics says: "error code 208 - association expired".
    I've checked everytin but I can't solve it...
    Thank you

    I'm going for the long ball here, but you said you are using the Aironet card. Is that Cisco/ Aironet or the way back when aironet?
    Anyway, please check to make sure windows wireless zero configurator is disabled.
    Start/settings/control panel/administrative tools/services/wireless zero configuaration.
    should be stopped and disabled if it is not already. This effectively kills the windows ability to find networks and manage profiles, but if you are already doing that with the PCI card then the other service must be turned off, or they will contend with each other, which usually manifests in a series of drops and reassociations as they fight for control.
    Also, you didn't mention what channel you were on, but it is possible somebody else has cranked up there own utensil nearby and it is interfering with you. Change the channels to see if the issue gets better and since you are probably already on 6, try 1 and 11 (only)!

  • Home wireless router recommendations

    I just bought the HP Touch 600XT PC all in one.   I would like to set my home for wireless regardless where I am in the home to access the printer-HP J4680 all in one printer.  I watch the video on "Know your PC".   What would you recommend for me to purchase what home wireless router system.  I am considering the router range- needing a repeater.   Down the road I will be looking at a lap top to be added to the net work.

  • Home wireless network trouble

    I got a new wireless router, Netgear WPN824 from Newegg, a refurbished product. I set up a home wireless network using the online manual on the Netgear website. The router works well for the wired setup. But I could not connect to wireless.
    My wireless network shows up on the list of available wireless networks. I can connect to other wireless networks such as that of my neighbour's. I tried connecting to my network using both unsecured and secure WEP / WPA modes. Except once, I could never connect. That one time, as soon as I could connect and verify that I was indeed connected I thought the problem was resolved and so shutdown my system to see if i could connect again - alas, same trouble again. I use NetworkManager to connect, and here's the output for two networks - jaydoc which is my home network, and linksys, that of my neighbour's to which i can always connect.

    Is the wireless router i got a dud, being refurbished i took my chances and maybe i wasn't so lucky..! Or is it something wrong in my network settings..? I tried shutting down everything and then turning the modem, then the router and finally the PC without the ethernet cable connected. Still I am unable to connect.
    Any help is deeply appreciated. I am a total newbie in networking...!

    So if its still a DHCP problem, it seems to be affecting only the wireless part. How can I make wireless use the same DHCP servers as the wired..? Or is there something else wrong here..?

  • Home wireless network in China using Airport Express ?

    I am going to be living in China with my Macbook. I will be bringing my Airport Express with me.
    I would like to know whether it is appropriate to connect up my Airport Express to a Chinese cable modem to obtain wireless internet access at home.
    Or is it a very different system used in China for home wireless network.

    Many, but not all of the same wireless channels in the US are allowed in China. See this Wikipedia Document for some information.
    As to whether you will connect using ethernet or PPPoE, etc., that will depend on the provider that you choose.

  • Iphone 4 showing wrong IP address for home wireless

    2 days ago we reset our home wireless password and updated our devices (ipad, laptop, and two cell phones). Now my iphone 4 will no longer connet to the wireless. It accepts the new password to join the network but it never connects. It is showing wrong IP address. How can I change it to the correct IP ? Tried hard rest, forget network, and renew lease all trying to get it to automatically update the info. Out of ideas. Any suggestions?

    I have the exact same router as you, I have Comcast, and I am having the exact same INFURIATING problem.
    Comcast and Apple have no ideas. Linksys tells me I am having a router problem.
    I even went so far as to buy a new router and modem from Linksys (as they claim they no longer make the router/modem combo because it doesn't work well). I still don't buy this... my PC, my PS3, my DS... all of them connect to the router perfectly.
    I have the new modem and router here and planned to give that a whirl tonight but Comcast was being difficult and saying it could take 72 hours to activate my new modem. Totally unsat. I had them reconnect the WCG200 and I am still trouble shooting to no avail...
    If anyone finds a fix (short of a new router and new modem)... please post!

  • MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

    After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

    It appears an SMC reset was required:
    HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
    Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
    If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

  • MacBook Pro Can't find home wireless network

    I've been having some issues getting my macbook pro, running OS 10.7.5, to find my home wireless network. The network doesn't show up when it searches automatically, and when I type the network name in to find it manually, it says no network found. The computer connects to all other networks and finds then with no issues, and other MacBooks are able to find my home network and connect to it again with no issues.
    The computer used to be able to find the network, and then it just stopped working. I have tried all the standard fixes, resetting the router, computer, PRAM, forgetting the network, deleting the key from keychain, but nothing seems to work. I tried googling the issue, but wasn't able to find a problem similar to the one I have.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Still having problems with this.
    I have upgraded to Mavericks, hoping that the problem would be fixed, but it hasn't. I still get all networks completely disappearing - even if I search for them they are not found.
    But I reboot the computer and it works! But when I am in OS or Bootcamp mode and put the Mac to sleep, it does not see the networks again! I have to reboot the computer for it to work.
    I have even got a new router which can receive the b,g and n signals etc. as I was told by a Mac techie here that Macs 'look' for the n signal but can also work with the b and g signals and THAT maybe my old router only transmits b and g or something like that .
    This, to me, sounds like a Mac software problem. I had a similar problem on a previous Mac on my "old router" and a totally different router in a different country's telephone system.
    I now have the same problem with a new MBP on a new router!

  • How do I connect an iPod Touch 4th gen to home wireless?

    I consider myself fairly competent with computers but for the life of me, I can't connect my daughter's new iPod Touch to our home wireless. Her brother's iPod connects just fine. I even tried resetting the network settings, unplugged/replugged our home wireless, entered the IP address and such, nothing works. Last week, it connected fine to a hotel wireless system but won't connect here at home. Suggestions or recommendations?

  • I have 2 macs and 2 PC laptops in my home wireless network.  Can I use the Airport/Time Capsule hard drive to back up all 4 machines?  I know that I will have to use different back up software on the PCs, but is it possible over the wireless network?

    I have 2 macs and 2 PC (Windows 7) laptops in my home wireless network. (The iMac is hardwired via ethernet to the Airport/Time Capsule; the others are wireless connections using Airport).  I want to use the hard disk drive in the Time Capsule as a network backup drive for all 4 computers.  Is this possible?  Could someone help me by telling me how to configure it?  I know I will have to use different backup software in the 2 Windows 7 Laptops?  Do I need to use the Windows backup software, or can I use a third party program like Acronis True Image?  Thanks in advance for the help

    It is your fault, pondini.. all your fault.
    I read of all the things that go wrong restoring Time Machine backups.. particularly stupid things like mail, photo libraries don't go back.. etc. And looking through the incredible number of issues people have here, when their Mac finally takes a dive how hard it is to restore.
    I restored a test hard disk from a TC.. and it takes ages and ages to even make up its mind to start.
    I worked in computer support for ages, but not Macs.. so my experience is ghost.. ghost images.. on large commercial server setups, can stream restore to multiple computers at once.. even doing it computer by computer the image is simple as network boot to restore. But ghost went the way of Symantec.. sigh!! And was destroyed.
    A product like clonezilla, Free linux boot cd.
    http://lifehacker.com/5078397/clonezilla-backs-up-and-restores-your-disks
    Can backup a Hard disk in just about any format.. yet to try it on a Mac to a TC.. but I will. Boot from CD.. instead of your lost Lion partition which no longer exists (because the hard drive had to be replaced) and the DVD they no longer give you, and restore the entire hard disk in a couple of hours .. to the exact image at the point you made the clone.. in any format, with any partitions.
    My bet is that it will kill TM .. but you could be right.
    It is just the prospect of all those permission changes, photos and mail libraries etc that worry me.

  • I would like to add my Deskjet F4480 printer to my home wireless network. How can this done?

    I have a Linksys wireless router that is the hub of my home wireless network.  I have been successful in adding a HP OfficeJet 6500 All-in-one Printer an old HP DeskJet 890C that I purchased in 1997 with a computer running Windows 95.  The HP 890C has been my tireless workhorse throughout my two kids K-12 school as well as printing reams of paper during my MBA...and guess what: it still works.  However, my daughter has just returned home from college and she has a HP DeskJet F4480 printer/scanner that she would like to add it to the home network.  I have been researching the problem, but haven't been successful in finding out if this printer is compatible to add to a wireless network.  Or simply, will a 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter suffice?  I am also adding a new Windows 7 laptop in the network, that will need to print to this F4480.  I patiently await the forum's response.

    My mistake, it seems that price was a deciding factor when I purchased the F4480 in lieu of a more expensive wireless ready printer-scanner.  I will eventually come-up with a solution as I did with the 890C where I have a wireless print server connected directly to the printer serial connection.  It seems that backward compatible is still evident, but I am having some problems coming up with the long-lasting HP49 and HP23 tri-color ink packs. 
    Here is the rub; I don't replace technology because it is out-dated. I upgrade and or repair everything myself. I found warranties not worth the paper their written on and in most cases, the technical support was lacking.  My Win95 desktop went thru several major components until I found that it was becoming harder to find software to run with it.  I finally replaced it in 2007.  Now it seems that there has been a paradigm shift toward utilities that are very hungry for memory, and even if I didn't want to, I am forced to come over to the dark side with a device that has a minimum of 8GB of RAM.

    Hi,
    I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" with SSD 256 Gb and its almost a brand-new (the 4th time to use the device) a while ago i was trying to connect to my home wireless network it said that the connection is timed out so i clicked the airport sign on the top it said that your airport is not configured then I restarted the system but it didn't restarted it showed the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel for more than 10min so I tried the force shutdown by pressing the power button till it switched off I waited for 5min then pressed the power button to start or boot the system and again the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel, I waited for more than 20min nothing changed, any solution please?
    Your help is really appreciated"

    Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
    Thanks really appreciating your help
