I am trying to wirelessly connect a smart tv to my laptop

te smart tv isasking for WAP2 passphrase the only one i know is he WAP where do i find the WAP2 passphrase

The free Wireless Key View program will display the wifi password of the network you are currently connected to.
*Some anti-virus program will detect this program as a trojan-virus because it extracts your wifi password from your network manager. It's not a virus and is safe to use provided you download it from a reliable source.
* I think you mean to say you have a WEP password and you are being prompted for a WPA2 password.
WEP is old and WEP passwords are considered very insecure and are easy to crack. You should be using WPA2 security if your router supports it. Your new smart TV may not support the old, less secure WEP standard. Maybe you can choose WEP from your smart TV network setup screen.

Trying to wirelessly connect Macbook pro to Canon MX340 printer

I am really not computer-minded at all, which is why I love my Mac. It just does it for me. Back in November, somehow I wirelessly connected my Macbook pro to our Canon MX 340 printer. We have moved and now I can't get it to work. When I go into printer settings on my macbook pro, it lists the printer, but says it is "offline." The printer is currently hardwired to my husband's HP desktop. The only troubleshooting skill I have is to turn off the printer and turn it back on, and hope somehow that makes it work. I have no idea what to do. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Take a look at McTiVia.

Error while wirelessly connecting Photosmart C5280 to Apple Macbook

I have a Photosmart C5280 All-in-One connected to my PC computer. While trying to wirelessly connect my Apple Macbook to the printer this error occured: Cannot Connect to the Printer Using the Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit Connection Manager in an Infrastructure Network
How do I fix this?

No - it won't work - AppleTV gets it's data via iTunes.
iTunes fetches data from wherever it is be it attached/internal/network drive, then relays it across the network to AppleTV.
Being able to access an iTunes style library on a NAS or similar would be great in principle but it's not possible in practice.

Wireless connectivity issues with Macbook Pro and At&t service HELP!!!!!

I have three Computers two PC's and one Macbook Pro( the latest model).My desktop PC is used by ethernet, my girls laptop is used wirelessly and finally my MBP was being used wirelessly.
I started off with only the two PCs and my internet connection never had a problem and I was doing everything from: on the internet to downloading.
Before I bought my MBP I had also switched from internet and phone bundle to just internet from At&t service. So when I got my first MBP I notice that I was loosing wireless connection with both my girls pc laptop and my MBP so i thought it was because I had just switched service, though they send out a service technician and we came to a conclusion that it was the MBP. (I was loosing signal via wireless and ethernet). So we tried to see if both my girls laptop(wireless) and my PC desktop (ethernet) would run into the same issue which it did not.(MBP was turned off)
So I decided to go my nearest Apple store and let them know what was going on. So I told them what was going on and they said It must be the airport card, and they ended up changing it. When I get home I discover that not only I am having the same issue but other issues too. I went back they ran some diagnostic and they said it was defective and they gave me a new one few days later.
So in the mean time that I waited for my new one to arrive I used my PC desktop and my girl kept using her laptop and guess what no issue what so ever for one whole week. Now I receive my new MBP(they bumped the specs a little), went home set it up and still the same issue though I dont have the issue when Im using via ethernet. Just a view minutes ago I tried removing the ethernet and using the airport/wireless and within a few minutes I lost the signal.
I have the gateway 2WIRE model(2701HG-B) modem/router.
Is there something wrong? what do I have to do to make this work?

Hi Guys, I bough my Mac almost two years ago. All this time I have experienced the same issue. There are tons of discussions re this issue in the internet. Unfortunately, Apple has done nothing to fix it. I have tried a lot of different options, but they work no longer then 1-2 days. The official fix - does not exist so far. It is quit strange, isn't? I can share my experience: if you go to AirPort Utility - Manual Setup - Wireless and then change Channel, it could help you till the moment you restart your computer; next time you need to repeat it again. It takes 2 minutes. Not sure that it would work for you but you could give it a try. Well, not the best option. Anyway Apple must fix it asap! Hello Apple, do you hear us? Good luck.

D600 EA2700won't wireless connect my printers

Hi, newbie here. My old printer and a newly bought one both fail to connect wirelessly to my new router.
My network is Canadian, Rogers internet. Router a Linksys D600 EA2700, brand new, set up and seems to be operating properly.
Usual machines wirelessly connected are a MacBook Pro, iPad2, and iPhone 4. Visiting devices MacBook Air, and iPad 1. Also 2 iPhones 4. All connect ok.
The older Brother 7840W printer would not connect wirelessly. I tried all the options, from WPS (WPS button on the router, enter data into the printer's tiny screen) to search SSID, enter password. In between tries, i reset the printer as recommended, to clear settings. Every option failed to connect the printer.
We bought another laser printer, Brother 7860DW today. Set it up, tried to wireless connect. Failed. Tried every method, failed. Same as the other printer. we had though the network card on the old printer had failed, but now we're wondering.
The printers are 802.11g but the router says it supports a through n so they should be ok.
WPS was enabled on the router through smartlink.
I was able to connect the printer to the router with an ethernet cable, which made it available on the network.
What have I done wrong, anything? I followed the router setup instructions. I followed the printer instructions. I'm mystified as to what flag or switch I left on or off that makes the wireless connect fail.
Since the router was installed a couple of weeks ago, I have noticed a couple of other odd things that didn't happen with the old router.
1. When the Macbook is started up and Mac Mail opened, I have to authorise the Rogers internet connection. Never had to do that before, and it is every time I boot up the Macbook.
2. I have an Elgato Eyetv connected to the Macbook. Everytime I start the program, a msg appears asking if it's ok to accept eyetv connections. This didn't happen before either.
Is my new router paranoid and questioning everything I do?
thanks a bunch for any help. googling hasn't turned up anything to help.
tg

Thanks for the suggestion. We tried it and the printers still didn't connect.
We went through the router smatrwifi gui witha fine tooth comb but nothing stood out as a settign we should change.
We have solved it though, and the other problem of Eyetv video on the iPad 2. We bought a different router.
We'd only bought the Linksys router late last month, and the store took it back. After researching routers and finding a really good router review site, we bought another brand, and also went to D900. Bingo. The two wireless printers connected without a murmur, and Eyetv videos play seemlessly on the iPad2.
So I still don't really know if the problem was just the router capability/speed or something else weird.
Thanks for your help.

After downloading Yosemite, my HP Photosmart D110 printer will no longer work. The wireless connection is fine but says it cannot find my printer when trying to print.

After downloading Yosemite my printer, a HP Photosmart D100 will no longer print. The wireless connection is fine, and a test page printed perfectly directly from my printer. When trying to print from my computer, it says it cannot connect or find the printer. I tried downloading the most updated software from HP website but it doesn't appear to be helping.

Try resetting the printing system.
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
If you have the printers IP address open Terminal (applications/Utilities) and at the prompt type: ping {printerIP}. You will get a reply or failure.

IBook won't boot after broken wireless connection trying to update OS

Trying to help my kid with his iBook via telephone calls. He was updating the OS over a wireless connection, lost the signal which apparently froze the machine. When he rebooted it wouldn't go past the blue start-up screen with a spinning gear. He's used the install disk and disk repair, which said it repaired one volume but not a second one (not sure what that means). But no luck with rebooting back into his machine. He then tried to boot up in "safe mode" but that doesn't work; gets the blue screen and spinning gear again. He's got a lot of stuff on his hard drive and is understandably concerned about the best way to get the machine back to normal and still have the contents of the hard drive. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a new Macbook Air 2012, Apple TV 2 and I have tried wired and wireless connections both result in stuttering during video airplay to the ATV2.

I have a new Macbook Air 2012, Apple TV 2 and I have tried wired and wireless connections both still result in stuttering during video airplay to the ATV2.
I have even bought a new Airport Extreme Router just to confirm it is not the router and it still didn't help.
I have brought all items in the same room with wired connections and still same issue.
I was thinking maybe ATV 3 might help since it has 2 wifi antennas and faster processor.
Have tried everything I could think of.
This was one of the main reasons I bought a Macbook Air for this airplay feature. Very frustrated.
Any thoughts; any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion.
I also disabled Norton Firewall and restarted the Air and Now I'm able to use Air Play.
I know that the Apple remedy said that to do that in the support article, but I totally forgot I had that enabled..
It actually works. I can even stream to the Apple TV now through my MacBook Air.
BTW, Go into setting under the ATV, and click on update...you'll see that there was another update avaialble for the last gen of ATV...
It does have to restart twice..I guess once to download and and nother to apply.

Two years trying to get Toshiba Laptop Wireless Connection to work

I've been trying for the last two years to try and get the wireless connection on my Toshiba Laptop to work without much sucess. I did for a short time manage to establish an ad-hoc wireless connection from the Laptop to a Desktop and share the internet connection that way but then that stopped working.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-15L model no PSU45E-00J005EN. It's the one with the 12.1" screen and running Windows XP Pro sp3.
My Wireless switch on the front of the laptop is turned on. It is also enabled in the software FN F5 Wireless enabled, bluetooth disabled. I don't have Intel ProSet.
Previously when I managed to establish an ad-hoc connection that was using microsofts software. I had to manually enable the Wireless Zero Configuation (WZC) each time though as it always started disabled or stopped even if I set it to start automatically. It was a monumental PITA.
When I try and connect to the home ADSL Wireless Router (Belkin N150) using the Toshiba software I get the error message "another vendor's application is controlling the wireless adaptor".
I get this all the time even if I have disabled Microsofts Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC).
I was thinking Windows was still somehow controlling this even though I have disabled WZC so having read solutions in other posts I have tried going to...
contol panel -> network connections -> wireless connection -> properties -> wireless networks tab -> uncheck "Use Windows to configure...".
But unfortunately there is no "wireless networks tab" in there, all I have is the other two tabs. And since trying to use Toshibas software to establish the wireless connection using their Radar thing, now when I click into the wireless network connection it has the message "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to configure this wireless connection, use that software."
Can anyone on the forum or at Toshiba help please?
Thanks,
John

Two years? Sorry but I cannot believe it.
If everything is Ok and I mean if there is no hardware problem you dont need longer than two minutes for WLAN configuration.
At first you must be sure the WLAN card is installed properly (device manager).
WLAN card must also be enabled properly (switch > check FN+F8 > check ConfigFree tool).
When he WLAN card is enabled properly (check status in ConfigFree) scan the area using option RADAR in ConfigFree.
Can you find this option?
Can you scan the area?
Is some WLAN visible for your notebook?

HT204409 I am trying to log onto my wireless connection but it keeps telling me I'm unable to locate any wireless network. I know there are several networks nearby. Is this a problem with my phone or my router?

I am trying to log onto my wireless connection but it keeps telling me I'm unable to locate any wireless network. I know there are several networks nearby. Is this a problem with my phone or my router?

I found a solution that has worked on both iPhone 4's I have that have had the same issues, and also including not being able to download updates in the App store.
Go to Settings > WiFi and turn it OFF.
Next go to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it OFF
Next go back to Settings > WiFi and turn it ON, (wait a few seconds for it to sync with your network)
Finally go back to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it ON.
I had the same issues on both my wife's phone, and my own, and it fixed it immediately without changing any proxy settings or reboots, (which I did try on my phone and did not work, but did not try on my wife's phone)
Hope this helps!

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of server

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. I have a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of servers and trying to reconnect this way. These methods have worked temporarily, but the same problem keeps coming back. Most of the time my personal wireless connection does not even come up among the list of available networks. My fellow flatmates have PCs and both of them are able to connect to the network without problem.
The router is a d-link model DIR-615. I am not tech savy, so if any other information need to be provided in order to better understand my situation, please let me know.
Please help me!

If I open the list of networks in a window it says "connection timeout," but if I just select it from the drop down it tries for awhile and then stops with no prompt. When I try to run network diagnostics it says "sorry, we can't connect to the internet" (or some solution-free variation of that)

I'm on my iPad, so I don't know if this is the page with an actual download. I don't see a button, but assume that is because I am on an iPad. It is in the DL section of Apple downloads.

Hi..
Delete the app then reinstall.
Hold the app icon down until all the apps jiggle then tap the x then tap Delete. Press the Home button once or twice to stop the jiggling.
Then go to the iTunes store and re download the app.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
That should download the most recent version including whatever update was available.
You won't be charged again.
