How can I get airport to connect automatically to wireless network?

I temporarily switched from a DSL internet provider to a cable provider, and then back to my old DSL Internet provider. My g5 iMac computer connects to the network through a wireless Belkin router.
Since I switched Internet providers, every time I turn on my computer, it no longer automatically connects into the wireless network. Instead, to connect I now have to manually select the network.
I'd really appreciate tips on automating this step. My kids use this computer and due to parental restrictions, they do not have rights to connect to the network.

Hi there,
Strictly speaking changing how the internet is coming into the wireless router should not affect the wireless and how machines connect to it, but however to get you out of a hole I would say create a new Location for your home and start again.
Basically,Disable your wireless first, then in your network settings there is a drop down box at the top of the panel where you can change and create new locations. Create a new one, then select it and click Apply. Now enable your airport and connect to the wireless, once that is done you should be good to go.
Hope that helps,

Airport is connected to my wireless network, but can't connect to internet

I'm a first time mac user. Earlier today our power went out, and when it came back on, our wireless router reset. We currently have 4 computers that we connect to the internet; 2 of them are Macs, 2 of them are PCS. Both of the PCs are connected to the internet with no problems, but both of the macs refuse. I've run diagnostics on both computers, and it says it can't find an error. I've contacted my provider, and my internet service is not the problem.
It keeps saying that AirPort is connected to the wireless router (my wireless router), but cannot connect to the internet. I've been trying to fix this for over 3 hours now. I work nights, and need my computers for work, so as it sands i'm currently losing money over this Can anyone help please?

Welcome!
Can you clarify what model iMacs you have? This forum is for the older G4 iMAcs with the articulated monitor and a hemispherical base. However, due to poor forum labeling, many people with newer iMacs are lured to this area. Reset procedures may vary with model so it's important we know which variant you have. Use "About the Mac" in the Apple menu to find your processor type--that should be enough for now.
Once you you figure out the processor type, append it to the equipment info in you profile, Example: it now says "iMac." If you find yours has a G5 processor, change it to read "iMac G5." That will save you a lot of keystrokes down the road.

How can I set a second Airport Extreme to not allow wireless clients?

I have two Airport Extremes. One is the main, and one is a remote unit used to extend my wireless network. I only want the remote Extreme to be able to use the LAN ports via ethernet to provide connectivity to my home theater gear. I don't want it to allow wireless clients, even though the two Extremes are wirelessly linked. Is this possible? I know it is on the Express, and I'd like to do that here. Thanks.

A simple solution might be.......
Use AirPort Utility 5.6 or earlier and click the Manual Setup option on the extending Extreme.
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode should be set to "Extend a wireless network"
Remove the check mark next to "Allow wireless clients"

Can an AirPort Extreme connect to a wireless router; i.e.: Verizon Jetpack?

I just dumped Comcast in favor of Verizon's Jetpack. Can I configure my Airport to use the Verizon router, or can I connect it (at least) to my two comouters to maintain the Time Machine backups?

Check with Verizon to see if they have a Jetpack with an Ethernet port option....or an adapter that would convert the wireless from the Verizon Jetpack to an Ethernet signal, so the AirPort can connect.
An AirPort Express might be able to "join" the Verizon wireless network and provide an Ethernet signal from the AirPort Extreme.
I say "might" because I do not know if this will work. Better to use an adapter from Verizon to insure compatibility.

Original airport card connection to Belkin Wireless G Plus router

I have an iBook G3 with an original airport card in it. The card works because I can acess the internet at school or the local Wi-Fi hotspots. I cannot however connect to my own network at home. The computer will pick up my network but when I try to connect I am asked for a password. I DO NOT have NEVER HAD a password for my network and my PC will connect wirelessly just fine. I have read the manuals for every thing I have and can not figure out why it wont connect. Any suggestions other than getting a new computer?

Already tried that
Is the Belkin running in 802.11g mode?
It needs to be running in 802.11b or 802.11b/g mixed mode for a Mac with the original Airport card to connect.
Has the Mac been able to connect to any wireless network?

Airport Extreme (4th generation) and "Wireless Client Mode"

Hello All,
I am using an Airport Extreme (4th generation) and I wonder why in "Wireless Client Mode" I am unable to connect my network using the Ethernet connection.
Basically, what I wish to do is a bridge between a Base Station Wireless N <--> Base Station Wireless N (Airport Extreme) distributing the connection via its integrated Ethernet ports.
Thanks,
Sebastian

I wonder why in "Wireless Client Mode" I am unable to connect my network using the Ethernet connection.
The Ethernet ports are not enabled if you configure the AirPort Extreme to "Join a wireless network". Oddly, the USB port is enabled.
If you have another Apple "n" wireless router as your main base station, you could configure the AirPort Extreme to "Extend a wireless network". This would provide more wireless coverage and enable the Ethernet ports on the device.
Ironically, the less expensive AirPort Express 802.11n will do what you want.
When the Express is is manually configured to "Join a wireless network", there is a special feature to "Enable Ethernet clients", which will activate the Ethernet port.

Airport is connected but my wireless devices can not?

Internet and cable had been down for 8 hours. The cable company had to send signals and 'pings' to reset modem, now our wireless devices can not connect?
Airport has green light and reports no problems. iPad keeps searching for service, pc can't connect?

Airport Express connection with my wireless network

Hi
I have tried to install my Airport Express, which was okay, but doing so I had to disconnect my wireless network.
What I would like to do is to connect the airport express to the wireless network (Linksys-router). I tried to choose the "Join an existing wireless network" in the admin utility, but now I have lost contact with my airport express base station.
Please help me....

What I would like to do is to connect the airport express to the wireless network (Linksys-router).
What are you trying to do with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX)? Use it for streaming iTunes and/or share a USB printer, or extend your existing Linksys wireless network?

How can another computer connect to my wireless signal?

I have a great wireless signal running through my time machine, but my friends who visit cannot get into it. They are running off the neighbor's wireless signal which is not as strong. I have set internet sharing to ON but it is not offering WiFi as an option. I have a feeling it is time machine settings somehow but don't know how. Any suggestions?

Assuming your friend is using a Mac.
Go to Apple Menu / System Preferences / Network.
Select Airport on the left, and click on the Network Name that is displayed (which will probably be your neighbour's network).
Select: Join Other Network.
Click on Show Networks.
Select the network you want to join.
Enter the password
Click on Apply.
You only need to do this once. The next time your friend visits, the Mac will remember the network and the password.

G5 with Airport Extreme connecting to Linksys wireless router

OK. I just bought a G5 and I added an Airport Extreme card (I'm a switcher, new to Mac's). I have cable internet connection and if I connect the Cable Modem directly the connection to the Internet is great. I cannot connect through the Linksys router at all. The switch component does not work right, nor do the wireless connection. My Windows PC's work fine, however.
Is there a trick to configuring this wireless connection on the Mac? Is the e2 device the Airport Extreme card?
Any information on this would be helpful.
Thanks one and all.

Thanks for the reply, Duane.
While I am having trouble with the G5, the PC's all seem to connect just fine without the need to restart the cable modem. I should clarify my statement: With the line from the modem directly attached to the hard ethernet connection on the Mac (bypassing the router) the connection to the Internet is great. If I connect through the Linksys router from the same e0 device, it fails to connect. Also, if I turn off all security on the router and try to connect wirelessly, the Mac cannot connect. The system profiler shows the wireless adapter, 802.11g device, and it seems to be running as far as I can tell.

Imac g5 won't connect to internet wirelessly or by ethernet

I have an early 2006 iMac g5. I haven't been able to connect wirelessly for several months now (all other computers will) and this past tuesday we had a power outage and now I cannot connect via ethernet either. My laptop will connect fine through the same ethernet cable but the g5 gets nothing.
Could this be the airport card?

Hello Jwine2011
It could possibly be the AirPort card giving you troubles. To troubleshoot the issue of not being able to connect to Wi-Fi or wired network connection, start with creating a new network location. Check out the first article to go over that. If you are still having issues, then check out the second article with troubleshooting issues connecting to Wi-Fi.

Airport Express wil not extend wireless network via ethernet

I need maximum bandwidth in a area with poor signal. No matter what I do, the AE will not extend my APEBS dual band via ethernet. It will alway connect wirlessly giving me half the speed. I have 1 main network to extend. I have tried to extend the 5 GHz wide channel as a seperate network but this wont work either.(but thats what I want really. Please help. I have been at this a couple days already and I need to figure it out before my return policy wears out. Thanks!

If you are connecting the Airport Express to your AirPort Extreme via ethernet, the AirPort Express should be configured as follows:
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
Wireless Mode should be set to "Create a Wireless Network"
Wireless Network Name would be the exact name of the main network that the Extreme is creating, same security, password.
Radio Mode must be set the same as the main network on the Extreme
Channel should be set to be least 6 channels apart from the channel that the main network is using on the Extreme.
Click the Internet icon above and look for Connection Sharing at the bottom of the page. This should be set to "Off (Bridge Mode)".
Update to save settings.
