I am having some serious wireless networking issues - please help!

I had a working wireless network setup in my home until the laptop was dropped and the hard drive needed to be replaced.  The network consists of the laptop, desktop and wireless printer.  I am now unable to get my wireless network up and running again.  Is there anybody that can walk me through this.  Right now I have the laptop hardwired to the cable modem so I am able to use the internet.
Please help!!!!!! 

1. Go to Wireless. Set using Manual Config.
    Mode = Mixed
    SSID = Create your own SSID
    Channel = 9
    Broadcast = Enabled
2.Go to Wireless Security
    Security = WPA Personal
    Passphrase = Type your 8 character long password
3. Go to Security. Disable Block/Filter WAN Request
4. Check if you are still online wired.
5. Connect your laptop to the wireless network

  • Cannot connect to wireless network? please help!!

    I am at my wits end! I don't know what else to do... My airport express just keeps flashing amber.. I have the USB connected from the printer to the airport express - the airport express is plugged into the wall and when i run the assistant i get an error that says it can't restart to connect to my wireless network although the settings were changed successfully.
    HOW do i connect to my wireless network (password protected and I have entered the WEP password etc.) I don't know what any other options are since it tells me its installed correctly but it just doesn't connect to the network???
    any help would be greatly appreciated...
    thanks in advanced...

    A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
    o The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
    o You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
    o One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
    (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
    If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation.
    Use the following instructions to compare against your current setup:
    AirPort Express Base Station Setup (AX) w/High-Speed Cable Modem
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    o Power-off the Cable modem, AX, & computer(s); Wait at least 30 minutes.
    o Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    Setup the AX
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network, or temporarily, connect directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Utility (in Manual Setup), configure the following settings:
    AirPort - Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter the desired base station administrator password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the base station administrator password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)

    o Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port: checked
    AirPort - Base Station - Base Station Options
    o Contact: (optional)
    o Location: (optional)

    o DHCP Message: (optional)
    o LDAP Server: (optional)
    Internet - NAT
    o Enable default at: unchecked
    o Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol: checked
    Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    o Wireless Password: <enter your desired wireless network security password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the wireless password>
    o Click on "Update" to save the settings to the AX.

  • Can I join this new older mac in my home wireless network?  Please help!

    I bought an iMac333 computer for my daughter. On the Apple systme profiler page, it says my system is 9.2.1 US, and the machine ID is 406 Processor info is PowerPC G3. Anyway, I am so impressed with this little machine already. I have only ever worked with my pc, and I run windows xp. I am trying to find out if I can hook up her computer to use the internet wirelessly. I have verizon dsl, and we use MSN on our home computer. We have a Belkin Wireless G Router, and a Belkin Wireless G USB network adapter. Will we need all new hardware to hook her up? When I put in the install disk for the Belkin adapter, the iMac can't open it. I was up all night trying to figure it out, but I can't. Thanks if you can help me

    congratulations on getting your iMac. Its a great little machine. You can get it onto a wireless network, but you're going to need a different piece of equipment. USB adaptors are problematic because they require drivers, and they just weren't made for OS 9 (there are few drivers for OS X for these types of devices, and they can be flaky). The drivers that would have come with that device would be windows only.
    So instead, what I recommend is an ethernet based adaptor. Ethernet adpators don't require drivers, and oeprate completely independently of the OS, so they are a far superior choice, though a bit more expensive. I use a linksys wet11 and it works great. linksys also make the WET54 for G networks (the wett11 will also work on a G network, no problem). belking, dlink and others make similar devices, as does macsense.com (whose is interesting because it uses USb for power, whereas the others use a separte power outlet)

I was messing around on my download app in the browser and it closed and then thu problem arises. I have deleted the app even turned on and off my phone several times and turned airplane mode on and off several times.

  • Network Issues Please Help

                       I have been dealing with an ongoing phone issue for the past 7 months . I have a network of 20 users , 17 ip phones with an off site pbx(BounceTel-WhiteLabel Communications) abut 4 network printers and anywhere from 5-10 wireless devices at a time. I have an rv220w and a sg200 managed switch . The problem I am having is one way audio on the network . The problem happens maybe once or twice a week. The caller outside the building can not hear the person inside the building . What I have done so far was set up qos , set up vlans, which took about 3 months as nobody at cisco new how to make them work with our phones and our phone provider would not assist with setting them up ,opened up ports out from lan to wan that span for the ip addresses for my vlan , I tried opening up the ports requested from the provider from wan to lan but can not set the destination of the phone by ip addresses only Dnat server which only on Ip address, I believe this is a limitation of the router . Set up COS and still the issues persist. I have been working with small business engineers and that state I need an onsite pbx , my provider says its my router and I have too many devices on my router ,I have a lan issue cause the packet capture shows that we are hitting there internal ip address , and or there is a DNat issue . But they will not tell me how to fix issue . Neither cisco or the vendor will work with eachother . I will attach packet captures when issues occured .
    Another issue that I have had with this router is when I enabled cisco protect link the router will loose connection for a couple of seconds and then gain connection , that happened about every half hour, I disabled or bypassed overflow control and that helped , but the router started to disconnect maybe 2-3 times a day . So I ended up just turning off every option from the protect link to solve . Can this router or firewall handle my network or is there something else wrong ?
    So I have decided to upgrade my router and switch as the company is aquiring a new building that can hold up to 40 systems . So I would have about 40 systems connected, 40 phones (Connected to the same cat cables as the system) about 5 network printers and anywhere from 5-10 wireless devices conencted at the same time . I can not decide on which router would be good to solve my issue and be sufficient for my future needs . I got recomended and asa 5510 and a catalyst 2960 from compusa when they went through there resource at cisco , I was recommended a 891 or 1900 series router and sg300 managed poe switch from cisco presales team . And 3 access points . Not too sure what exactly is needed. Any help would be great.

    Sounds like a network fault in you area to me.
    It happened to me a couple of weeks ago on orange and they fixed it within 24 hours.
    If you think it's the phone try your sim in another phone.  If you think it's the sim or network fault call t-mobile, from a land line.

  • I keep getting error 10053 when trying to update airport express and connecting to the existing wireless network. Please help.

    can someone assist in setting up my airport express? Im not sure what the error message means...

    Hello Jacquimae,
    The only thing you can buy legitimately is the computer and the basic discs that are necessary to operate it.   All Apple apps over and above this cannot be legally sold on.   The machine should have been completely wiped and the original OS re-installed, bringing the machine to its original factory condition.   iPhoto and Garage band were part of OS 10.6.8. Snow Leopard.
    You must not use the original owner's ID.

  • Having a Serious Iphone 5 problem please help

    Ok, so over the weekend I went to a cabin in michigan for a camping trip. I left my Iphone 5 in the cabin all weekend. 2 days into the trip i tried checking my phone. First thing I noticed is that it was dead. So I plugged it into the charger and nothing happened. A friend told me to reboot and it did come back. However the screen was laced with white lines. I plugged into the charger and immediately things began to fade. so i left in a safe area to charge. When I next looked at  it a day later (yesterday) nothing would function complete black screen nothing lighting up. So i stuck it in rice for a night, not sure if it got wet or anything, but this morning i plugged it back into the charger and the battery charging icon lit up like it was charging, however it has been slowly fading. What can i do to get things going again and what may be going on with the phone 

    Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. That sounds like a hardware failure. Hard to say if it got wet or not, but there's definitely something wrong.

  • I am having some serious issues with firefox, i can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and I can't use any of the drop down menus on any site

    I am having some serious issues with firefox to the point of choosing another search engine. I can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and won't let me change it to my printer when i do try to select my printer it jumps right back to fax. The drop down menus do not work on any of the sites I go to. For example when purchasing clothes and you have to choose a size from a drop down menu I can't do it when I click on the drop down menu it doesn't work at all. I don't have a virus I ran my virus protector and no viruses are present. I don't have any suspicious issues going on with my computer so there has to be something in Firefox that is causing my issues. I tried internet explorer and I don't have any issues there. I hope you can help me because I love Firefox and would really like to continue to use it.

    Lots of issues there, main one getting fcpx going again, try deleting the preferences using the utility deveoped by these guys.

  • Mid 2010 15" MBP i5 A1286 POWER ISSUE-PLEASE HELP-

    The MBP works fine when mains connected but the only issue is every time I take the charger out it shuts down on me!!! So I have checked with a multitester & looks good the only thing i find hard to check for power is the battery itself as its hard to get a good connection, also I took to local Apple store & they checked with a new battery but said its still same issue so the guy disconnected nearly all the connecters off to check if they causing issue & he said now the battery is charging.
    So they still have the laptop to do further tests etc, but I’m not sure what could be the problem hear as maybe there is some component which is bad so the battery’s not charging or what else could be the issue please help & advice as I’m really confused as if it was something to do with the logic board then surely it would not even charge even after checking with the multitester or like Apple genius done by disconnecting other components...
    ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFULL,
    THANKS GUYS

    THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS!!! BEEN AROUND 5 DAYS & NOT ONE PERON HAS HELPED...
    BUT YEAH THANKS AGAIN...
    WASTE OF TIME THIS IS...

  • Nintendo 3DS not connecting during online games to Macbook Pro or Airport Express Network. Please Help.

    I would love to post this question to the Nintendo Support forums, but I'm abroad right now and it seems I am denied from the forums if I try to log in.
    My Nintendo 3DS's internet features all work perfectly fine except when it comes down to directly playing a match with other users. For example, Mario Kart 7 will download Spot pass data like normal every day, but everytime I tray to play a match online, the software gives me an error. Same thing when I try to connect with people on Animal Crossing: New Leaf. My previous linksys router back in the states worked fine. The security was WEP I remember. Now I've got myself an Airport express and neither it nor my Macbook Pro (when sharing is turned on) will permit me direct online access to other users like I stated above. I even disabled security and went with an open network for a few minutes and was faced with the same exact problem.
    I know this is very specific and mainly involves a none apple product, but I'm just curious what is different about the Apple wireless networks I'm setting up that is preventing me from nothing but direct realtime interactions with other users.
    Any advice or knowledge about Apple security or wireless networks would really help me out. There are only so many settings I can tweak in the Airport Express so I'm sure it can't be too difficult, but I don't even know where to start.

    I guess it's a problem with NAT (Network Address Translation). My ISP is Vectant Ltd. so maybe I should get a hold of them. If anyone has any work arounds that maybe they used with other game consoles (Xbox Live, PSN), I could really use the suggestion. I really like the Airport express and assumed it would be compatible, but I guess not.

    Hi Venu,
    We can't add authorisation objects on Individual servers.We need to add authorisations on BWD ie Dev system and transport to BWI QUA system.This is the Process we need to follow as per our rule set.
    So,As the problem mentioned above if i add some auth. objects on BWD DEV system and transport it to BWI QUA system,it is getting transported Successfully to BWI,but the auth.objects what i have added on BW DEV system is not found on BW QUA system.
    What could be the problem for that,Is that the problem with transports like TP error or is it related with some tables of auth.objects...................
    Could u please analyse the problem and tell me the solution for this..........
    Thanks Much
