HP d5560 Wireless Issue - No IP Address (Mac OS 10.9)

Hi there,
I recently moved house. In my previous house I had my printer set-up and working wirelessly.
I've moved and now have a new Wireless hub and I can not get my printer to connect with my Virgin Media Super Hub.
I have tried doing the one-touch wirelessly connection.
I have printed several times the Wireless Network Test Report and each time it can see my wireless hub in the list of SSID networks and it reports:
Wireless No - PASS
Wireless Working - PASS
Network Name (SSID) Found) FAIL
Network Name (SSID) ... <I think this is referring to our old wfi name>
IP Addresss - Not applicable
Authentication Type - WPA-PSK
Encryption - Automatic (AES or TKIP)
My Wi-Fi Super Hub has WPA Auto security mode.
Can anyone please assist with advice on how to rectify this problem?
Do I have to un-install and re-install my HP printer software?
Do I have to re-set the printer to factory settings?
Previously in my old flat when I set up the printer, it took forever and I even had to have it replaced with another one to get it set up again. I hope I don't have to go through the same again.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi there,
Thanks for the advice. I have tried the instructions but unfortunately because I am on Mac OS 10.9 there are no drivers and therefore no "Printer Setup & Software" settings in the current HP Utility HP basic software. All other settings are governed by Mac's System Preferences and Printer and Scanner.
Do I have to reset the printer to factory settings? If so, how do I do that?
I can not access an IP address for the printer and so can not access it that way either.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

T40 Wireless Issue - No IP Address Assigned

I am using a T40 in wireless mode and am unable to get automatic assignment of the IP address. Connection to the wireless access point is confirmed but there is no internet connectivity because the IP address assignment is not being completed. The wireless network is working because I have a second laptop which attaches with no issues. This laptop was working but my son was visiting over the holidays and he could not get his laptop to linkup. To make a long story short some wireless setup adjustments were made to my unit to try to determine the problem with his. I don't know what they were. Now neither laptop works. I am confident this is a setup issue but I can't seem to find the setup adjustment that needs to be made. Does anyone have some ideas where I can start?

Hi Dsnyder5516,
Welcome to the forum!
I suggest using System Restore in Windows to the point where your wireless was working fine.
I hope it helps.

Wireless issues when plugging into Mac display

I have noticed that no matter where I am in the house, my Macbook Pro works with my Airport just fine. But when I plug the laptop into a 24" display, my wireless signal does one of two things: it drops a connection, going from full strength to nothing and back again, bouncing back and forth in a slow rhythm, or it will give me a huge drop in strength. Anybody have any idea why this is? Your help is greatly appreciated.

I also have the same issue, specifically similar to that of DimBimbleby, since I am using my MacBook (2008) connected to one of the Apple 24" LED Displays via an Altona converter in the mini-DVI port. The laptop works excellently when not plugged into the display, as do my DVD player (streaming Netflix) and my AppleTV (will never figure out why I bought that) - as soon as the monitor is plugged in, the internet is either extremely sluggish or does not work at all. It took me a bit to figure out that it was only after the display is connected (moved both things all around the house of course). Does anyone at all have ANY idea how to fix it or improve it?? It's really frustrating and I certainly did not pay all that $$ for the display for it not to work with internet. I recently sold an older style 20" ACD Monitor which never had a single issue working with the internet. I have a Linksys Wireless-N router which is not the greatest ever but works well with everything else. Please help!!!!!

C4580 Mac wireless issue

Recently updated to OSX Mavericks on my mac. Now cannot get my C4580 to work with wireless network. Have followed all the support steps/software updates etc but nothing works. When I try to set up network configuration through the setup assistant in device manager it crashes with an error message saying that "HP setup assistant quit unexpectedly". Any ideas how to get the wireless set up again?

Hi Olga, I did figure it out thanks to another user but forgot to post it in this thread! In the end I connected the printer to an old windows XP Laptop that had the HP software on it. I then reconfigured the printer to work wirelessly and reconnected it to the mac. Then ran through the mac setup from the beginning. Apparently you can download HP software for windows but not for Mac OS! All it needed was the HP software to re activate the wireless settings which allowed the mac to then recognise the printer wirelessly. Hope you have an old windows computer somewhere! Good luck, hope it works for you.

C4780 Wireless Issues with Windows 7

Hello,
I've been having some problems keeping my HP C4780 connected to my HPDV8t laptop (running Windows 7). I installed the printer correctly for wireless and currently have three computers wirelessly connected to it (my HP laptop, a Macbook Pro, and an iMac). I've never had any issues printing wirelessly with wither of the Macs.
On the HP, I was printing fine for the first 3-4 days. I see the printer available in all applications, however, it doesn't appear under the device manager (printer and faxes). The only thing that appears is the "My PC" Icon, which prompts me to troubleshoot with the yellow exclamation mark.
When I troubleshoot, it tells me that it cannot find the driver to the printer, and goes into an endless troubleshooting loop trying to "fix" the printer (it won't find it even if I have the original HP installation CD in the drive). When I press cancel, I can no longer print to the printer from any application. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software twice. Each time, the printer works for a few days, then prompts troubleshooting and then loses the printer. (again, I know the printer is established on the network since the Macs can still find it)
Please advise. Thanks much in advance.

My guess is that the printer is changing it's iP address and the SW on your computers are having a difficult time keeping track of the change.
It's not unusual (or wrong) for the printer to be given different IP addresses from your wireless-router. Since the wireless-rotuer "leases" IP addresses to devices on the network, if the lease expires when the printer is off, the wireless-router may assign the printer's old IP address to another device.
For your issue, lets try to fix the IP address assigned to your printer. There are two methods to try. The first print our the C4780 Network Configuration Page and note the printer's IP address.
1) If your wireless-router supports it, make a DHCP reservation for your printer. Depending on your wireless-router (btw -- what kind do you have), this may be easy to do and is the recommended option here.
2) Alternatively, you can make the existing IP address assigned to your printer "static". On the C4780, the easiest way to do this is to open the printer's internal web page by browsing to the C4780's IP address. From the web page, select Networking then Wireless (802.11) then IPv4 Configuration.
Select Manual IP and enter the printer's current IP address in the field plus an offset of plus or minus 20. For example, if the current printer IP address is 192.168.x.100 or lower, then use 192.168.x.120. If the printer's IP address is 192.168.x.200 or higher, then use 192.168.x.180.
For the subnet mask, enter 255.255.255.0. Leave the default gateway IP address empty.
Select Manual DNS Server and leave those entries empty as well.
Now reinstall the SW (hopefully for the last time).

This is a workaround for the MBP wireless issue

There have been many topics on the MBP wireless issues already, but I thought some people might find this workaround helpful.
Firstly, my system is a 2.2Ghz MBP, running 10.4.10, and also airport extreme update 2007-04. I am using an airport express base station. My previous Powerbook never had any wireless problems, so I really couldn't blame the basestation for the MBPs poor wireless.
Warning - The workaround requires a little bit of work in the terminal. A little bit of understanding of how networks work is assumed here as well. So it is probably not for everyone ...
What I have observed - whenever the MBP loses connection, the airport basestation IP and MAC addresses are missing from the ARP table.
- To view the ARP table, type (in a terminal window) arp -a.
So, when the MBP wireless hangs, open up the terminal and type that in.
Do a Cntrl-C if the arp command is hanging and not returning anything.
In normal situations, a list of IP addresses and MAC addresses will show up.
As others have already noted, clicking on the airport icon in the menubar, will magically bring the wireless back to life. When this happens, the ARP table also gets magically populated correctly. Coincidence? I think not!
So, the workaround is to store a PERMANENT entry in the ARP table for the airport basestation IP and MAC address. In my case, I can use the Airport Utility software to confirm what the basestation IP and MAC addresses are (note MAC address = Airport ID in Airport Utility). I found the basestation IP=10.0.1.1 and the MAC=0:11:24:07:d7:f
To create a permanent ARP table entry for my airport basestation, I opened up a terminal window, and did the following -
1) login to my administrator account
2) type in the following command sudo arp -s 10.0.1.1 0:11:24:7:d7:f
3) type in my administrator password to authorise the change
4) type in (to confirm the changes have been made) arp -a
5) logout of my administrator account (from the terminal)
Ever since I did this, my MBP wireless performance has been flawless.
Note, if you shutdown or restart your computer, the arp entry disappears. This is ok for me as I hardly ever power down my MBP. As insurance I have added an account startup item to remind me to do the arp table entry.
This workaround is great for me because I don't have a need to use multiple wireless networks. It might not be practical for people who roam around onto different networks.
Give it a go and see if it works for you.

OK, after some further experimenting, I changed the multicast rate on my airport express. It was set at 6Mbps, and I changed it to 2Mbps.
I have read that the default multicast rate for previous 802.11g versions of Airport basestations is actually 2mbps. Excellent results so far !! I have set up a terminal command to continuously ping my airport router address every 15 sec, and there have been virtually no dropped packets so far over many hours.
ping -i 15 10.0.1.1
Interestingly, in Apple's Airport Admin software in my MBP there is no option to set the rate at less than 6Mbps (!!!!), so I had to use the Windows XP version of Airport admin software to make this change using a windows machine. Using the XP software you can set the muticast rate as low as 1Mbps.
If you are using Apples airport admin software (Tiger and Leopard) and you commit any sort of change in settings, the multicast rate will be re-set at a minimum of 6Mbps. My understanding of the multicast rate is that setting it too high is similar to shrinking the coverage area of the basestation, and limiting access only to clients who can transmit at the required multicast rate.
So my new theory is that the dropouts are caused by the MBP dropping off the airport due to not being able to achieve the set multicast rate. (this could be due to factors such as low signal strength, excessive interference or noise).
If you are using Apples more recent Airport admin software, you are having a minimum 6mbps muticast rate set, and this might be too high for your particular environment.
Just a theory.
(oh yeah, I enabled interference robustness on the MBP and the basestation just for good measure)

10.5.3 Update Wireless Issues (WiFi, Wireless)

Hi there,
I see several posts regarding networking issues with the +Mac OS 10.5.3 Update+, but have not seen one describing my exact issue.
After updating my 15" MacBook Pro (2.33GHz) with the +Mac OS 10.5.3 Update+ via +Software Update+, I had no problem connecting to and using my home and office networks (AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme, respectively).
At a third location however, I connect to a Netgear MR814v2 802.11g router which shares a Comcast Cable Modem. Wired into the router are two computers, an X-Box (or some sort of gaming console) and a Vonage VoIP box. Wirelessly connected are generally 1 - 4 Macs. Two are running Mac OS 10.4.11 and two are running Mac OS 10.5.2.
After performing the +Mac OS 10.5.3 Update+, all devices on the network loose their connection to the internet whenever my machine attempts to connect to the router. On my machine, I'll see that I'm connected to the router but I'll have a self assigned IP address.
Resetting only the router does not solve the problem.
Resetting the Comcast Cable Modem solves the problem of the other devices on the network loosing their internet connection (at least until I attempt another connection), but still does not allow me to successfully connect.
Deleting AirPort as a type of network connection and re-adding it in the Network pane of the +System Preferences+did not solve the problem
Thanks!

is what makes me think the issue is in your Netgear or Comcast router, not with Mac OS X 10.5.3.
But more to the point, Comcast's routers generally will only issue four IP addresses via DHCP, and if you want to connect more devices than that you need to have your home router setup to create a NAT network locally. That's where your router receives an IP address from your Comcast router, but then the Netgear creates its own network via ethernet and wireless and all packets are translated to and from the Internet through it.
I presume you've also tried the various suggestions at the Netgear MR814v2 troubleshooting page?
Also, you state you have a "MR814v2 802.11g" router, but the MR814v2 is 802.11b only

EA6500 - Wireless Issues, Varied possibly tied to leases?

I am switching over from a Netgear WNDR Router, and this EA6500 V1 is really giving me some recurring, very minor wireless issues. I have to assume its tied to some setting I just am not seeing.
My laptop will just lose internet connectivity. The connection to the router is still strong, but I have to follow the Win7 troubleshooting, it reboots the network card in the laptop, and its good again. Then a random amount of time later, it will do that again. Seems to happen much more the further I am from the router, as at night the laptop comes upstairs, I go from 5 bars to 3 (speed is pretty much unchanged) and I'll get 4 or 5 of those occurences.
Wireless printer is really been a pain with this. From the Brother 430W I can find and join the home network easily. From there its been sporadic at best. If I log into the router ( immediately after joining ) I can see the printer, and its Online. Searching on either laptop in the house it won't find it. If I just leave it or do multi reboots it will come up. I add it, print a test page and all is well. The next day, the printer is offline on the router and can't be reached. On the printer itself it thinks its fine. If I remove the device, then reboot the printer and do it all again I can find it, but only for that day.
The laptops and printer are on the 2.4Ghz network, laptop joining on n at 150Mbps. I added the printer to the DMZ and increased the lease time to the maximum the field would allow. Still no success.
Any ideas? With the old router the wireless printer joined the day we bought it, and 2 years later it was still active and had never been rebooted. Same with the laptop. Its about 3 years old and I've never had to reboot the internal card like this.
For now I've gone back to the Netgear but I'd like to get the EA working if I can so I can give my old router to my parents.
Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you have a stable wired connection, this challenge might be due to wireless interference. Try changing the wireless channel to 1, 6 or 11.
If the wired connection is also not stable and provided that you have a stable connection straight to the modem, clone the MAC address of your computer on the router setup page if you have a cable internet connection. For Linksys Smart WiFi, go to Connectivity > Internet Settings > Enable MAC Address Clone > Clone My PC's MAC > Apply. For the classic web interface, check out this link.

How to change the hardware address (MAC) of my printer to match my mac

how to change the hardware address (MAC) of my printer to match my mac

Hello @giomarcondes ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you wish to alter the MAC address on your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 e-All-in-One Printer to match the MAC address of your Mac OS X computer. Unfortunately, what you're requesting is not supported. Just to clarify, "a media access control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment". They are programmed into the device and are not designed to be changed. (Source: MAC address)
Are you experiencing issues configuring your HP Deskjet on your wireless network to communicate with your Mac computer?
If you do actually require support configuring the wifi connection on your printer I would be more than happy to assist you with this. I look forward to hearing from you!

If you have a Blue Screen / Error due to Wireless issues (B110a), fix in here.

For the original thread created by somebody else, please see here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-and/B110a-network-connection-problem/m-p/319...
Here's a youtube video of what happened to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adE1kq36ld4
I'm reposting it here so it can hopefully help some of you guys if anybody else stumbles across this. In short, my printer was fresh out of the box and I attempted to connect it to the wireless network. It would throw a blue screen on the LCD with an error of B8126AD6.
I narrowed it down to an issue with DHCP. For some reason the printer connects to the wireless access point but as soon as it tries to get an IP address from the DHCP server it crashes with that blue screen and the error code in the first post above. This look like a massive bug in the printers firmware! For reference my router is a Billion 7401VGPR3 which is acting as my default gateway and DHCP server. I have a Linksys WRT54G as my Access Point for the house.
To solve it, I turned DHCP off on my router and then tried connecting the printer to the wireless network. This time it connects fine but you still can't talk to it because it doesn't have a proper IP address. If it still doesn't connect properly, try turning WPA/WPA2/WEP off on your Access Point. Leave it completely open for a moment until you can reach the web interface (as below).
To fix the IP issue, I then went into the Settings menu on the printer and printed the "HP Network Configuration Page". Note that under the Wireless menu option there are a couple of different "Print Network Test Page" options. I believe it's the 2nd one that I selected. You'll know you have the right one when it prints out the page with the following info:
IPv4 IP Address
Subnet Mask
Hostname
Default Gateway
Primary DNS
etc, etc.
Take note of the IP Address from the printout above and the Subnet Mask. My IP was 169.254.73.5 and subnet mask 255.255.0.0. Now I manually configured my computers IP address to be similar (within the same subnet): 169.254.73.10 with the same subnet mask.
Now you can load up the web interface of the printer using http://169.254.73.5 in my case. (You should also be able to ping the printer at this point too). In here you have a Network tab where you can now manually set the IP Address of the printer. Set the address you want it to be in your network (in my case 192.168.0.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.0.1 and dns server 192.168.0.1).
Once I clicked OK I changed my PC's IP back to normal, and I can now reach the printer on its IP address set above. YAY!
The great thing is, in the web interface you get a million more options to play with. You can manually set the IP address, gateway, DNS, wireless settings such as WPA1/WPA2 AES/TKIP Encryption, WPA Passkey, etc. So if you had to set the Access Point to completely Open, setup the encryption again and put the passkey in here. When I did this I had to go back into the Settings menu on the printer LCD and select "Disable Wireless" then "Enable Wireless" to force it to re-join the network.
Finally I went into the Settings menu again and Updated the software on the printer. I don't know if the new software fixes the bug or not - I haven't tested it (can't be bothered!).
Hopefully this will help some of you guys out there too!
EDIT: I've just stumbled across another couple of posts with similar results to mine:

Many thanks to gardz for an exhaustive overview on this critical problem with the B110a printer!
I am happy to report that I have managed to set the printer to a static IP and am now able to connect to it wirelessly from my home computers, and also able to use the web apps and ePrint features on the printer. The printer shows the IP address and I am able to use the EWS (Embedded Web Server) to connect to its IP address from my PC's internet browser. The Wireless Network Test Report also showed no problems. I have also completed the Product Update on the printer, and there are no more pending updates now.
However, the core wireless problem is still not satisfactorily resolved.
I get the BSOD and blinking-lights error ("Please turn off printer and then on"), only if I start the printer when Wireless is enabled on the printer. If wireless is disabled prior to printer boot, there is no error.
The workaround I have adopted for now, is to always switch off the printer's wireless, before switching off the printer, and enabling the wireless setting only when I need to print/scan.
Is this happening with anyone else? Why would the printer crash if it boots with wireless enabled? If it is already set to a static IP, why would it still conflict with the DHCP on the router?
My router is perfectly working, it is in the same room as the printer, so the signal strength is good. The printer itself is quite stable except for this crash-after-boot-if-wireless-was-enabled issue on the printer.
I made the mistake of connecting the USB cable to my primary computer before installing the printer drivers, so even the USB option is not working (Windows recognizes the printer as an unknown USB device). If anyone can point me to the printer drivers (inf files), I would be grateful. The CD does not have the driver files in a convenient location. It seems to be embedded within the setup package somewhere.
Gardz and PrintDoc, I hope you can help us out on this one. I know many B110a users are struggling with the wireless issues, so HP needs to release a firmware fix and driver update soon. Wireless ought to work out-of-the-box, as this product is aimed at the SOHO users.

Printing to a Linksys Wireless Print Server with my MAC

have a small home network using an ATT DSL modem-router. I have several PCs hardwired to the router and 1 older MAC wireless. I have a MAC G4 laptop and a Dell laptop (my wife's) also connected wirelessly and all work well. I have added a Linksys wireless print server today and am able to get my wife's laptop to print easily and reliable as does the hardwired Dell. What I need is to get my MAC laptop to print wirelessly as well. I have tried all the options in the printer set-up but it does not see the print server. Linksys does not support MAC and there are no MAC drivers for the print server to download that I know of. Does anyone know of a fix on how I could configure this equipment so I can print wirelessly from my MAC laptop. Or perhaps bypass the print server and print using the modem-router and the same printer. I would appreciate any suggestions one could lend. Thanks much.

I have had wireless issues sense Leapord, any fixes yet? its a shame that my wife has to sit in front of our 27 inch imac on a $300 Windows computer to use the web effectively. I have tried all fixes and some work while others don't but all temporary

This Lion wireless issue has become more than just an irritation, so much so, my wife has resorted to sitting in front of a 27 inch imac with a 300 dollar Walmart Windows computer to get the bills paid and use the web. And yes, there is not a fix out there I haven't tried over the last year or so, some worked and some didn't, but all were temporary at best. Same issue with my Macair, I wonder if its a hardware issue, like the video card in my 2006 MBP, it went out after the warrenty and then I found out there was a calss action suit going on over it, unfortunately Apple wouldn't cover it and wanted 7oo bucks to fix it, sold that as parts.
While i really like me Macs, I own three, I may have to bow out and stick with LINUX, that has yet to let me down, anyone know if Mountain will fix this issue? or are we all just waiting for defective WiFi cards to fail at our own expense, PS, got three Macs for sale.

Sounds like you're getting kernel panics, which are usually, but not always, caused by hardware problems, with memory being one of the regular culprits.
First thing I would do is to get our your original OS X disks, insert the first one (should say 'AHT version x.x' in small print on the label - if not, find the one that does), and reboot holding the Alt key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted, choose the extended test. If you have either of the TechTool programs, they can do similar testing. Does that identify any hardware issues?
Next, I'd download rember from http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/ . This is a memory testing program that you can set to run overnight. Does it come up with any errors? If so, try resetting your memory card(s) by removing and putting back into the computer. Rerun memory test.

Macbook Pro (Late 2008) - Windows 7 64-bit, Bootcamp 3.1 - Wireless Issue

Hi Everyone,
I have a Macbook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) model with Snow Leopard and Windows 7 64-bit dual boot. I have done a search and cannot find any reference to this problem on my hardware.
I have had no issues in Windows 7 when using Bootcamp v3.0. In the last week I have upgraded to Bootcamp v3.1. (completed twice, rolled back in between to prove that the issues was related to the Apple Update)
After I update to v3.1, I have issues with my wireless network. The network cannot resolve the name for any internet address. I can connect to wireless networks (tried multiple networks), all the DHCP settings seem to be retrieved correctly (Gateway, DNS etc) and I can ping local and machines outside my network without an issue provided I use the IP address. (Skype works - which uses direct IPs rather than names I have found over time)
As soon as I use a name for a destination for Web traffic, Mail, pinging (any application), my Macbook Pro cannot resolve the address and just bombs out.
If I connect to a wired network, the machine works perfectly and name resolution on that interface works. If I rollback (using Windows 7 rollback capability) to before the v3.1 Bootcamp is installed, the wireless networking also works perfectly.
I noticed this in the support area at apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3196
But this refers to wireless issues in Bootcamp drivers prior to v3.1 and on 13 inch Macbook. Wonder if this is a similar issue or related?
Anyone else seen this or point me in the direction of a fix?
Thanks,
Thommo

I'm looking into running Windows 7 64bit on the exact same MBP you have, so I'm curious as to whether or not you've found a solution yet outside of the forums.
Do you think it might be that the bootcamp 3.1 update is only for Windows 7 32bit and not for the 64bit version?

MacBook wireless issue (ongoing) & DIY airport card replacement

Hello,
With reference to the ongoing MacBook/OSX (10.5.3) Leopard intermittent wireless issues discussed in this forum has anybody gone ahead and taken matters into their own hands and purchased and installed a new Airport card for their MacBook from www.ifixit.com?
Further details at: http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Core-2-Duo-Santa-Rosa-Penryn-802-11n -Airport-Extreme-Card/IF186-062
If so, did it resolve your intermittent Airport issues?
It seems to me that when the MacBook is running on battery power only the Airport card does not realise that the MacBook has come out of sleep sometimes and therefore does not always function correctly. Maybe the Airport card does not receive sufficient power when the MacBook comes out of sleep mode whilst running on batteries only?
Typically when I run the MacBook connected to power the intermittent wireless problem does not occur.
This issue has been a recurring problem for me for 6 months now and unfortunately I have not seen Apple address this issue.
My MacBook is 6-months old and is a black MacBook using a 2.2GHz processor running Leopard OSX 10.5.3.
Cheers,
treaders

Visit Apple Store and replaced the Airport card.

WRT310N v1 and MacBook Pro wireless issues

Hi all,
I've been having ongoing wireless issues with my WRT310N v1. I have a macbook pro (early 2009) with mac os 10.5.8. I have cable internet, with a DHCP connection. I have a computer and PS3 hardwired through the router, and they work flawlessly. The wireless, however, has never been what it should be. Internet loads slow, even though the connection speed is pretty good (not as fast as hardwired devices, but close).
Here are the wireless settings:
wireless config: manual
network mode: mixed (the Macbook can get wireless-n, by iPhone is only g)
Radio band: standard 20 mhZ
wide channel: 9 (can't change this with this config, unless i go wide channel at 40 mhZ)
standard channel: 11
SSID broadcast: enabled
I've got WPA2 security, with AES encryption. I've set the Beacon interval to 75, and left the Fragmentation and RTS thresholds at default. The firewall is activated, and "filter anonymous internet requests" is disabled.I'm wondering if I'm losing so much speed by broadcasting a mixed signal, instead of just G or just N. I've tried transmitting only in Wireless-N, but there's no noticeable change (and the iPhone can't connect at all).
Any input at all would be really appreciated. I'm hoping I don't have to fork over $30 to linksys just to get tech support. Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Well its not necessary to power cycle your router everytime whenever you make any changes on your Router. But if you re-configure all the settings on your from scratch, then its better to power cycle your router.
