Hp 5310 to mac wireless disconnection using aol huawei echolife hg532 router

I have just bought the HP Photosmart 5510 B111a as my original HP printer was not compatible with the LION 10.7.2 Mac OS
The problem im having is that im unable to maintain a connection to my new printer. I have installed the full and latest Software and drivers from HP, I have up-dated my MAC from Apple site but so everything is as it should be.
I spoke to HP on the phone and was advised to use the diagnostic tool but this is only for windows OS so this wouldn't work.
So i am begging for a solution -
Everytime i go through the set up procedure it works wirelessly for the maximum of one print then the next time i try to print (1 MINUTE LATER) It says unable to find printer. I have checked the settings on the printer and it says connected with the correct network name as does the Mac. Im using an AOL Router HUAWEI Echolife HG532.
It works fine if connected with the USB cable
If i swap the router to a Belkin router it works fine wirelessly / eprint etc but other wireless devices don't.
I really want to sort out the Echolife issue. AOL Have said the issue is with the printer but I'm far from convinced as the Belkin works.
I hope someone can help - Please - Neil

Hi There,
I have just read another forum and some one has had the same problems as me, the following is where i am athe the minute and what i type in response to him - still not sure though .....
HI John,
New to the conversation but im having exactly the same problems you have been encountering ! Im ready to through my Mac, router and printer out of the window, thats if the wife doesnt do it for me as shes sick of me going on about it.
Anyway, I have just bought the printer following a OS Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion and this is where i thought the problems started. I have been sent an new router from AOL following the usual frustrating repetable conversations and downloaded the HP 10.72 software but nearly every time i get to the disconnect the USB I get the same fault as you - unable to detect printer. If i go into my router 192.168.1.1. settings and change the channel then open the HP utility page it will open ok and show my supply staus etc but if you close it then re-open, it is unable to find the printer
Everything else seems to work fine, like the ePrint, the printer connects to the internet proving the printer is connected to my network but thats it......!!!!
Basically what im asking is, can you tell me what and where from did you download the fixes Apple helped you with...
Please help or should i also ring Apple ?
Best regards
Neil

Using a Mac wireless keyboard with a MacBook

I just bought a mac wireless keyboard with the intention of using an external monitor and a wireless keyboard with my MacBook (Leopard - 10.5.4.) I have a logitech cordless mouse. I installed the firmware update for the keyboard, it shows connected, and is turned, the light flashed for about 3 seconds,but the wireless keyboard doesn't work - only the laptop keyboard works. Any suggestions? I'm thinking it's beyond my expertise and I just need to return it and use it as a laptop. Do I have to also have a wireless mouse?

Excuse the ring. I finally found the answer. You can't have mouse enabled in Universal Access if you're using a keyboard that doesn't have the number keypad at the right.

Why is my wireless disconnecting frequently when using Safari but not Firefox.

Ever since upgrading to the latest Apple Software on my iMac, I have been experiencing wireless disconnection but just on Safari. Also HTML images in emails are not loading. Firefox works fine.

Hi Sebaz, first try repairing permissions. Go to Applications-->Utilities-->select Disk Utility. Select your drive then select the First Aid button then at the bottom right click Verify Disk and after it verifies your drive click on Verify Disk Permissions on the left. If there any errors click on Repair Disk Permission. Reboot your machine and test your Safari to see if the issue comes back.

My Mac wireless keyboard and mouse won't reconnect

My Mac wireless keyboard and and mouse one day disconnected and I can't reconnect. They have new batteries.

Hi Saint Anne,
Happy Thanksgiving Day! Since both of your wireless input devices are not working at the moment, do you have a wired mouse you can use to straighten this out? Here are some troubleshooting steps to try:
Wireless Connection issue
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on
First, choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > Bluetooth and confirm that Bluetooth is turned ON.
The Bluetooth menu bar icon should turn:
Black if Bluetooth is turned ON and no devices are connected.
Light grey with three dots if Bluetooth is ON and at least one wireless device is connected.
Light grey (or disappear completely) if Bluetooth is turned OFF, or if the iMac is unable to communicate with the Bluetooth module.
Refer to the Bluetooth Menu Icon table below for more information on determining the Bluetooth status. If the Bluetooth icon does not appear, or if the menu bar status continues to indicate that Bluetooth is off, restart your computer and then attempt to turn Bluetooth ON again.
Bluetooth OFF
Bluetooth ON and connected to wireless device
Bluetooth menu icon
Bluetooth status
Bluetooth turned on, but there are no devices connected to the Mac. See the "Make sure the wireless mouse or keyboard is turned on" section of this article.
Bluetooth turned on and at least one wireless device is connected. See the "Make sure the wireless mouse or keyboard is turned on" section of this article.
When this icon flashes, at least one wireless device has a low battery. Click the Bluetooth icon to identify the affected device, then replace the batteries.
Bluetooth is off. Click the Bluetooth icon using a USB mouse and select "Turn Bluetooth On". Note: Mac OS X won’t allow Bluetooth to be turned off unless a USB mouse is connected.
Bluetooth offline. Restart your Mac. If the Bluetooth status doesn’t change, disconnect all USB devices and restart your Mac again.
Make sure the wireless mouse and keyboard are turned on.
Mouse
Slide the On/Off switch on the bottom of your mouse to turn it on. Note: If the battery compartment cover is not installed properly the On/Off switch may not function correctly or may be difficult to operate. Remove the battery compartment cover and carefully reinstall it.
When your mouse is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the indicator light glows steadily.
If your mouse isn’t paired with a Mac, the indicator light will blink, indicating your mouse is in discovery mode and ready to pair.
If the indicator light doesn't illuminate, check to make sure you have two good batteries and that they're installed correctly.
Keyboard
Push and release the On/Off switch to turn on the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
When your keyboard is on and paired, and the batteries are charged, the light will glow steadily for several seconds, then turn off.
If your wireless keyboard isn’t paired with your Mac, the indicator light will begin to blink. This indicates your keyboard is in discovery mode and ready to pair with your Mac.
If the LED doesn't light up, remove the batteries to make sure they're good and that they're installed correctly.
Check preferences
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences, then choose Bluetooth from the View menu. The Bluetooth preferences pane will list the Bluetooth devices paired with the computer, the status of the devices (paired or connected), and whether Bluetooth power is on or not.
Click the gear icon and choose "Connect" to connect a device that is powered on.
To set up a new device, click the + icon and follow the Bluetooth setup assistant.
If the Mouse System Preferences pane is open and no wired or wireless mouse is connected, your Mac will immediately start looking for a wireless mouse (with Mac OS X v10.6. For Mac OS X v10.5, the Setup Assistant should open).
Keyboard or mouse intermittently stops responding
Click the mouse
Click the mouse once to reconnect it with your Mac. It may take a moment for the mouse to respond.
Check the battery level of the mouse. Choose System Preferences from the Apple (), then choose Mouse from the View menu. The battery level indicator is in the lower-left corner. Replace the batteries if they are low. Note: Choose Keyboard & Mouse from the View menu with Mac OS X v10.5. For more information on keyboard and mouse battery levels in Mac OS X v10.5, see Desktop computers: Troubleshooting wireless keyboard and mouse issues.
Press a key on the keyboard
Press a key on the keyboard to reconnect it with your Mac. It may take a moment for the keyboard to respond.
Check the battery level of the keyboard. Choose System Preferences from the Apple (), then choose Keyboard from the View menu and select the Keyboard tab. The battery level indicator is in the lower-left corner. Replace the batteries if they are low.
Check for signal interference
Wireless networks that operate on 2.4GHz may cause interference.
Move cordless phone base stations, microwave ovens, and other 2.4GHz electrical devices away from the Mac if you suspect interference.
Keep wireless devices within 10 meters (33 feet) of the Mac.
Avoid putting metal objects between the device and the Mac.
Mouse doesn't scroll up or down or side to side
For mice that have a scroll ball, refer to How to clean your Mighty Mouse.
Check the Scrolling speed slide-control at the top, and make sure the “Scroll” checkbox is checked.
For scrolling side-to-side, make sure the application you’re using supports side-to-side scrolling.
Remember, scrolling is done with one finger, and navigating is done by swiping side-to-side with two fingers.
Navigating moves from page to page in a document or internet browser unlike scrolling.
Mouse does not track as expected (jittery, jumpy, slow, fast).
The Apple Wireless Mouse can be used on most smooth surfaces, however if tracking issues occur try these options:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Mouse buttons do not work as expected.
The Mouse preference pane allows users to customize the mouse features to meet their needs.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Mouse from the View menu. Set the Tracking slider to adjust how fast the pointer moves as you move the mouse.
Try using a different surface to see if the tracking improves.
Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window. Use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window if dust or debris is present.
If multiple Bluetooth wireless devices are in use nearby, try turning them off one at a time to see if the issue improves. Bandwidth intensive devices could affect tracking.
Keyboard has one or more keys that do not respond.
Use the Keyboard Viewer to test whether the keyboard keys are responding correctly when they are pressed.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Language & Textfrom the View menu (or International from the View menu in Mac OS X v10.5 or earlier).
Select Input Sources.
Select the Keyboard & Character Viewer checkbox.
Enable the input source for the keyboard layout you are testing by selecting the checkbox next to it.
Make sure that "Show Input menu in menu bar" is enabled.
Choose Show Keyboard Viewer from the Input menu in the menu bar, as shown.
The Keyboard Viewer shows the keyboard layout.
Type the key on the keyboard that doesn’t respond and observe whether the corresponding key highlights on the Keyboard Viewer. If it does, that particular key is functioning correctly. In the sample shown above the shift and command keys are being pressed.
If the mouse keys feature in the Universal Access System Preferences pane is enabled, many of the keyboard keys may not respond as expected.
Try starting up into single user mode to determine whether a software issue is causing the issue.
Cheers,
Judy

Wireless disconnection

My Macbook's wireless connection will stop working after some hours of non-interactive use. For instance, last night I was playing an audio book as I went to sleep and when I woke up it was still playing but my wireless connection was gone. I had to manually re-attach to my wireless network.
One interesting entry in the system.log:
Jul 22 05:55:12 Eloise kernel[0]: ATHR: beacon miss causing loss of connection
I have a Linksys 802.11g wireless router. I don't remember seeing this problem with my Powerbook G4. The Macbook/Linksys combo is screaming fast most of the time, and my Macbook seems to have terrific wireless reception (it shows many more wireless networks than the Powerbook or even my wife's iBook can see).
Any ideas?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1 GB RAM, 80 GB HD, Superdrive

Hi Batmensch -
If you can get access to your router's config, try this - set the channel to anything other than the default.
I had the same problem, and it seemed to spread to my wife's PC on the same LAN. PC & Mac with the same problem - sounded fishy!
There are four wireless networks that I can detect from my desk, so I wondered if they were somehow interfering. So I reset the channel on my router from the default 11 to 7, and Hey Presto! no more wireless disconnection.

Often lose wireless connection when using HDTV as monitor

I have an unusual wireless networking problem when using my Samsung HDTV in my living room as a monitor for my MacBook (when watching Internet TV shows, for example). Frequently when I switch URLs, networking freezes, even though the connection appears strong, with the Airport symbol at the top of my screen showing all bars. To re-establish the wireless connection, I have to go through the process of re-joining my network through the “Join Other Network" option. The signal holds as long as I don’t try to change it, as in selecting another URL.
I connect to my HDTV via HDMI cable, using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter from my Macbook’s video-out port. The audio connection is a mini-plug from the Mac’s headphone out jack to stereo RCA plugs associated with the TV’s HDMI port.
The wireless connection is through a Lynksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz, 54 Mpbs Broadband router.
I’d appreciate any solutions the Apple user community has to offer.

I'd say this has nothing to do with your display. The problem will likely lie in either your router settings, network settings or a simple signal strength issue. Try first changing the broadcast channel on your router, and make sure all settings are correct for your desired network.

Using D-Link DI-624 Router for "G" Wireless Purposes

I want to use an old D-link router in another part of the house to provide wireless "G" connectivity to my older devices, so I can use 5 GHz band for "N" connectivity exclusively via my Airport Extreme (Older version, not Gigabit).
I go upstairs, plug the D-Links WAN port to the jack that connects to one of the Airport Extreme's LAN ports downstairs. I shut off dhcp server on the D-Link. I turn on the D-link's wireless capability (unencrypted for now, just for testing).
When I plug a computer in to one of the LAN jacks of the D-Link, I have full connectivity to the internet. And I see the wireless signal from the D-Link which has a unique SSID. Unfortunately, while I can connect to the D-Link wirelessly, I cannot get to the internet.
I'm sure I have something configured wrong.
Questions:
1. I have the Airport Extreme set to hand out ip addresses in the 10. range. Should I set up the D-Link router to get a static IP address from the Airport Extreme? How do I do that. Some sites suggest a 10 series IP address, but outside the range of the DHCP addresses that the Airport Extreme usually hands out.
2. Any ideas on configuring the DI-624? I've shut off DHCP server (everyone says to do that). But Are there any other settings?
3. Some tech help sites suggest not using the WAN Port at all on the D-link, but rather, connect to one of the LAN ports. Does this make any sense? Going from one of the LAN ports on the Airport Extreme to one of the D-Link's LAN ports.
4. Once I get the wireless G network running, I'll fix the encryption.
I think that in order to answer this question you'll need some first hand knowledge of the DI-624. Unfortunately, the DI-624 is now a discontinued product and there is little information available on D-link's web site.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
kenny

If a Mac plugged into a LAN port on the D-Link gets internet access, the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) and D-Link are both configured properly.
The wireless side of the D-Link should also be acting properly since LAN access is working.
The most likely problem is that your Mac has incorrect DNS information in the System Preferences->Network preference pane->AirPort area.

Ichat, AIM, & Adium all frequently disconnect when using Air

Ichat, AIM, & Adium all frequently disconnect when using Airport. I use a Linksys Wireless Router with an Airport extreme card. When directly connected to the router, I have no problem. Using a PC with Windows XP, AIM operates fine. Safari and Firefox work fine, although sometimes I receive errors connecting to pages, when I try again no problem. Using any of the chat programs, I lose connection, but then can reconnect. After a few times, the AOL servers will prevent login.
I use COMCAST Cable internet service. My wireless router uses WEP encryption. I would switch to an AIrport Base station, but doubt it would correct the problem.
I have had this problem previously, but it corrected itself. now it is making chat programs unusable.
Any ideas?

Hi John,
By default Linksys units normally have the IP address of 192.168.1.1
Is this true for both your units or have you changed one of them ?
You may only find this out if you connect directly to the Modem one.
Also you have not said if only one of them is doing DHCP.
Example pic 3 on this page. This shows this device as getting it own contact IP address by DHCP (like from your ISP). Further down the page in the pic it shows the device is also acting as a DHCP server to the local net.
If your router is set up like this it could be getting an IP address usng DHCP like this device shows and that would tend to mean that the Modem is acting as a DHCP server as well.
If both devices still have the default IP addresses you will have conflicts, which probably explians the problems you have.

WRT54G V8.2 Wireless disconnecting

Hello, I have recently updated my firmware for my router and ever since (might be a coincidence or not) my wireless will disconnect and my router's page is also unaccessable at that point. I can still see my wireless network and when I attempt to connect it just stays on connecting for a long time.
I have another computer connected by wire and this computer never loses connection. When my wireless stops working that wired computer can no longer access the router home page either.
The whole problem is quickly fixed by unplugging my router (power cord) and replugging. At that point everything returns to normal for a while (6-7 hours possibly more or less). It starts all over by my wireless disconnecting.
Securities I have setup:
My laptop is quite old so the only wireless protection I can offer is WEP128 (Which is enabled)
I also have MAC filters on the wireless only enabling computers with a MAC address in the list to connect to the router.
Please help not sure what the problem is and it is getting a little annoying.
Thanks

You need to hard reset your router for 1 minute...
Press and hold the reset button for 1 minute...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 1 minute and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...Also do the Advance Wireless Settings...
On the router set-up click on Wireless tab and change the channel to 11 and save the settings...
Click on the subtab "Advanced Wireless settings"
Change the Beacon Interval to 75...
Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304...
Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 and click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...If you still face the same problem you should get your router replaced...

.Mac Mail attempting to use a mail server I no longer have

I use AOL and .Mac mail thru the Mail program. I'm trying to send a couple mp3's to a client, and I get the message that it can't use the server "mail.purdigital.net." This server is something that was in a building I moved out of last month.
My question is, why is .Mac trying to use someone else's server and not uploading thru it's own? I have sent several large files previously this month with no problem but now it seems like a no-go. I'm constantly on different wireless networks due to work so is my only solution to start logging in thru the .Mac/Apple webpage and send from there? I hope not considering that is a bit clunky and takes up my time.
Thanks,
Mark

Mail keeps information about outgoing (SMTP) servers in a separate list independently of any specific mail account. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Deleting an account doesn’t remove from the list the outgoing server that was associated with it. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems.
Go to Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn’t be there. The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.

Getting my partners MacBook onto our wireless home LAN using WPNT834

I don't have much experience with Macs but know a bit about basic networking, well enough to set up a home network based on a cable modem, cable router with both wired and wireless PC clients.
My partner has a MacBook which used to be on the wireless network. I had to reset our router and start again. I can get all the PC's back onto the LAN, but not the MacBook.
We are trying to use AirPort.
Airport is on, but not finding our wireless network. Picking up a neighbours though!
Should pick up ours because this PC laptop I'm typing on is picking it up, and its right beside the MacBook. Both are beside the wireless router!
in the router settings under "Wireless Advanced"
Enable SSID Broadcast = YES
I'm thinking it must be some setting on the router is stopping the mac picking up the network's presence. Now we are right beside the wireless router and its still not picking it up!
Under Wireless settings I have :
Region: Europe (choices are Europe, Asia, Australia)
Channel: 01 (choices are auto, 01, 02 etc to 13)
Mode: g and b (choices are "g and b", "g only", up to 126Mbps, up to 240Mbps)
I tried changing channel from the defaults of auto to 01
and mode from default of 240Mbps to "g and b"
still no joy
seem to remember channels had something to do with it, last time we had this working....
but could be wrong

A few days ago to get the rest of the network going I'd reset the factory defaults on the router. Then I'd upgraded the firmware on the router from 1.041 (i think) to 1.051.
I saw something on the apple forum abut a guy with this router, needing to go back some versions on his firmware to be able to see his wireless network, so I went back to 1.041
Hey presto, now we can see the wireless network!
Joining it is now easy because by now I've disabled security to make it as simple as possible.
I looks like this is why it used to work before I reset & upgraded the router.

Wireless connecion issues using a macbook

Hi,
RE: Wireless connecion issues using a macbook
After doing some google searches, I have come to understand that there is a bug with OSX power management when running on battery which impacts the wireless connection of the macbook, though Apple geniuses are unaware of any such issue. Please see: http://kristopherjohnson.blogspot.com/2006/08/macbook-wireless-connection-drops. html and type in "macbook wireless connection problems" in google for many other discussions on this issue.
For all those who are having wireless connection issues with a macbook:
Plug in the macbook to use mains power (not the battery) to verify that you are impacted by the same bug (I even find sometime unable to connect to the router when on battery so have resorted to starting the machine with mains power plugged in). If that is the problem then here is a work around (taken from above blog):
Open the terminal window and type in the following command: ping -i 5 google.com
(this will ping the google domain every 5 seconds and maintain the wireless activity thus a connection).
I am surprised that Apple are not acknowledging this well known and widely reported bug and fixing the issue. In my case, I dont mind plugging the machine into mains most of the time and that has resolved the problem, otherwise I hope the above pinging works for you.
I discovered the workaround after ditching my old DLink router (though it had done its time) and buying an Airport extreme (£120), a trip to the Apple store (40 miles drive), trying several different people's machine on my network (frustration) and finally google to rescue, more specifically Kristopher Johnson's blog.
NOTE: My macbook worked fine in the Apple store while on battery power which was frustrating but apparently the problem only arises when connecting to consumer grade networks and not commercial ones, which I dont understand technically.
HTH
Regards
Faisal

you can use but you will not get full screen on HDMI output.
Sometimes width or height of the screen was not completely used by ur mac other then that everything would be good.
You need to buy HDMI Output cable for mac something like this

I think my problem has been that in Sytem Preferences>Mouse, my "Double-Click Speed" was set to the SLOWEST setting. After some experimentation, I now have the that setting two notches from the "Fast" end of the scale. In case it's important, the "Primary mouse button" in my Preferences is set to "Left".
This not only solves the text selection issues described, but also seems to eliminate the strange "resolving alias to" problem.
[For the curious, I have a Logitech Performance MX wireless mouse which can be configured with "Logitech Control Center". But the LCC software doesn't control double-click speed; this setting can only be made in the Mouse System Preference pane.]

Lost Bluetooth on mac Wireless Keyboard

Wierd issue
Since the last update I lost the ability to connect my mac wireless keyboaed
On my Imac and MBP. They see it but will not pair.
Now I can pair this keyboard on my iPhone and my iPad
I reset the PRAM and tried all the suggestions on the countless threads that are up for this issue.
The only reason I started my own thread was do to the fact that my mobile devices will pair and maybe I have a different issue.
One more thing. I used to have a bluetooth icon in my tray at the tp and in the system prefs. Now I have to go to etwork connections to access it.
I'm pretty sure it happened on the last update
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 2.44 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB ram
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB ram
Will these two computers work well with MT Lion
Thanks

Try fresh batteries but I suspect a hardware problem with your KB.
You can then try cleaning it. Nothing to lose:

Tx1000, when wireless disconnects, have to restart computer

I have an HP pavillion tx1000 (Windows Vista) that I bought in Dec 07. Every time the wireless disconnects, I have to restart my computer to get it to resconnect to my wireless again. It will disconnect from my wireless whether I'm using my computer or not. I know it is not a problem with my wireless, since I do not have problems with anything else connected to my wireless. I have changed the wireless client. updated the driver and tried disable and enable the wireless, yet nothing works except restarting the computer. The computer does tend to get hot, but I have it on a laptop fan and the wireless disconnects regardless of how long my computer has been on.

i have exact same problem with my tx1000... could you please let me know if you resolved this issue?
