I cannot get wireless connection and cannot reconnect too?

I installed Os x Mavericks on my apple MacBook Pro a couple of days back and now the wireless is gone. I tried connecting back to wireless but it does not go through. Just do not know what to do.

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

WRT300N V1.1 - Firmw v1.51.2 - Problems to get wireless connection after long idle time

Hello,
I have a WRT300N, v1.1 with latest firmware available (v1.51.2).
I've been experiencing a strange problem:
1. After long idle time (router is on, no devices are using it wirelessly), no device can get a wireless connection;
2. I have tried using different OSes (Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, and Symbian OS);
3. Wireline connection to a FE port works (if I plug a device using the cable, I can get an IP address and navigate to the internet).
4. If power reset it (WRT300N), I can get wireless connections working again.
Is this a known issue?
Thanks, Gustavo

Well as you are able to go online from your Hardwired Computer, then i think you need to make some changes on the Wireless Part of your Router. Follow this settings on your Router, i think this might solve the problem.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 50 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

I use Time Capsule and Airport for my wireless connection and my speeds stink!

I am getting horrible speeds (250K downloads) any suggestions. I have the time capsule and the Airport for my wireless connection and I have a new MacBook Pro. My download speeds are about 250K. I have turned off my wireless and plugged into my network with a physical connection and I get great speeds so something is wrong wiht my wireless connection /setup......any suggestions?

Yep much better.
I recommend the following ..
Set wireless and TC names to SMB standard.. short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Lock the wireless channels and set a different name for 5ghz and also lock its channel.
Use only WPA2 Personal security with a decent passkey.. generally 8-12 characters is plenty. Still follow the rules.. pure alphanumeric mix of upper lower case and numerals..
If that does not improve things.. how old is the TC.. the wireless output does seem to slide as they age.
A simple WAP connected to the TC can provide far superior wireless for very little money.

WRT350N: Vista cannot get wireless connection

I recently got a laptop to use on a wireless connection to my WRT350N. When I first set it up, it easily got a wireless connection to the WRT350N. After a few weeks of reliable wireless operation, the wireless connection would occasionally disconnect without warning or any apparent reason. I was usually able to reconnect fairly quickly until a couple of days ago. From that point on, reconnection was not assured. I switched the wireless mode on the WRT350N from mixed to one of the other options and got my last successful connection. Soon after that, the wireless connection dropped again and I've never been able to reconnect since, no matter what settings I specify. Windows Vista sees other wireless networks available (from neighbors' homes), but does not see my WRT350N even when sitting right next to it.
I've tried the EasyLink Advisor and it just says: "EasyLink Advisor could not establish a wireless connection to the Router." That's not very helpful. How can I restore a wireless connection from my laptop to the WRT350N?

Thanks, Helm, for your reply. Before seeing your reply, I called Linksys tech support and we got it working again. Basically, they had me clear the list of wireless connections under "manage wireless networks" in Vista. They had me change the security settings from PSK2 Personal and enter a new key. With that, I was able to get a wireless connection again. I told the tech that I preferred to stick with PSK2. So I switched back while he was still on the phone and got a successful wireless connection with PSK2. He suggested that my loss of connection in the first place was caused by the key being changed under PSK2 / AES and it was related to the key renewal period. It wasn't clear how to avoid encountering the trouble again. But at least I know how to recover from it should it happen again.

Urgent! T420 with N6205 keeps dropping wireless connection and cannot recover

Hello everyone,
I bought my T420 model with N6205 network card last December, since then, the wireless connection never functions well. Here's the problem(it happens in my apartment):
Every once in a while (normally within four to five days), my wireless connection drops automatically. It would first appear as no connection and it'll try to reconnect, then it appears as successful connected for 5 to 10 seconds(but definitely no internet access), and it'll drop the connection completely again, then automatically repeat :reconnect, drop,reconnect, drop ... never stops. Though I can still use cable to connect to my router to have internet access.
This problem occurs to none of my smartphones, ipad, ipod touch, my old laptop and my roomates' wireless devices under the same wirless environment. They always have solid wireless connection.
Of course, regular approaches have been taken trying to solve the problem:
1. manually disable wireless functionality on my T420, and enable it again
failed
2. reboot computer
failed
3. go to power manager and turn PCI express off
failed
4. uncheck allow the wireless LAN radio to be turned off when inactive
failed
5.updated to the latest driver through lenovo
failed
6. restart router
successful
So it may be that I've got a bad router? This is why I didn't post my problem in the first place, since I was hoping it may disappear with other routers.
I changed to a new router, the problem persists.
There's no way I can restart the router every time when my laptop looses connection, it'll affect the other users.
Based on the description of my problem, I believe there's a great chance there's something wrong with my T420 rather than with my router.
Is there anybody who can help me with this?
Can lenovo staff see this post?
Any suggestion about who I should turn to?
Thanks a lot.

What security mode are you using.
WPA or WPA2? You could change the router to WPA only and see if that helps. I have see some portable devices that don't negotiate the protcol properly but never a notebook. If you have Bluetooth turn it off. It seems to affect my 1x1.
I have the 1x1 card and it pretty bad connecting at 24 to 48 Mbps only with a good signal. I don't know why Realtek is used in a Business class notebook. Maybe some others can add what they have and is working 100%.

C4580 All-In-One suddenly lost wireless connection and I can't get it back.

I have a replacement C4580 after HP replaced the old one because of their dmaned regionalisation of printers.
It has been working fine through my wireless router, and I have been able to use it wirelessly on 2 different laptops, one running XP and the other running Win 7. both have the printer showing as USB and wirless, normally being used wirelessly. THhe USB is there 'just in case' like now apparently.
It seems that my wireless printer has disappeared from my Printers and Faxes in the XP machine, so I try to add it again. Can't detect any printers, so when it asks to be connected via USB it appears to be going through the setup, then I get Error #201 VSA.
Googled for an answer but haven't found anything useful. Seen a couple which suggest that the router is hiding the SSID (it's not) or that MAC filtering is being used. Again, it's not.
I went to the Win7 machine, and it shows the wireless and USB printers (2 versions of the same thing) but when I attempt to print a test page tot the wireless version, it says that it has been sent, and I can see it in the printer queue, but after a while I get Error-Printing which in typical HP software is as usual bloody useless as it doesn't tell you why it failed, or where to even start looking to correct whatever error there was.
I have altered nothing on any of the computers (knowingly, anyway) and both laptops communicate quite happily with the outside world through the wirless router.
I really am getting rather pi**ed off with HP and their latest software. I had a PSC 1210 prior to this and no problems with it at all. The hardware seems fine but the latest software leaves a lot to be desired.
Any ideas anyone, on what has happened here, and how it can be fixed - or do I just cut my losses and buy another printer, this time anything but HP - unless they're all doing the same sort of stuff.
I have tried turning the wireless function off and then on on the printer, but also no difference.
Additional info. As suggested in another post somewhere, I have done both a Network Configuration and a Wireless Network Test printout. The test report shows PASS against both Wireless On and Wireless Working, and FAIL against Network Name (SSID) Found, but then shows the Network Name (SSID) correctly under Configuration Summary!
The configuration page shows Netwok Status as offline, and under 802.11 Wireless it gives a MAc address then Status as Disabled.
I don't really know what it is trying to tell me?
Oh, accidentally I printed 2 Configuration pages. On one it says that the 802.11 Status is Disabled and on the other it says that it is Disconnected. Unfortunately, I don't know which one was done first. The Disconnected one may have been done when I turned the wireless off. Nope, I just did again with Wireless turned on (at least the light is showing) and it still showing as Disconnected.

Hi there KR,
Sorry to hear the reset is not working for you on your PS C4580. The steps for the reset are all correct and should have worked if the printer is in good functioning order.
I would suggest calling in to HP directly to see what your options are with them.
If you decide to call them, this is their contact info:
If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

Every time my IMAC is unused for a period, then goes to sleep mode, it loses it's wireless connection and when I wake it up, it DOES NOT automatically reconnect. I have to go to systme preferences network and request that it reconnect.

My iMac is set up wireless. Everytime it's allowed to go in sleep mode, it loses wireless connectivity. Then, when I wake it up, I must go to System preferences, Network, and request it to reconnect to my home wireless network. It always does this successfully, but it's quite annoying that it seems unable to achieve this on it's own. My iPad 2 and kindle can do this, why not my iMac?

This appears to be a known issue, there are a couple of things both of you should do, first file a bug report in www.apple.com/feedback.
The next thing is more a work around than a fix. Instead of putting your computer to sleep just put the display to sleep. You will find this in System Preferences - Energy Saver. Set the computer sleep to Never and then set the display sleep to what ever time you prefer.

TC & MBP - complete loss of wireless connection and usage

I apologise in advance if this is a very long winded post! I've been an Apple fan for some 20 years now and it's only in the last three months that my love affair is starting to wane due to (what seems to me) poor hardware releases.
My setup:
1 x PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz with Edimax 802.11n PC Card
1 x MBP 2.4Ghz (purchased April 2008) with AirPort 802.11n
1 x Time Capsule 500Gb
1 x Airport Extreme Base Station Gigabit Ethernet edition
1 x Netgear DG384 v2 (wired only) modem router
1 x standard ADSL connection (8Mbps) from a UK ISP (and yes, 8Mb is about the norm for the UK! Though in reality, it means closer to 4Mb...)
The Netgear router is connected to the ADSL line and is set up as the DHCP server for the network. I have a Fixed IP address from my ISP. The Time Capsule is connected via ethernet to the Netgear router. The TC is set up in Bridge mode as the router serves DHCP. The TC is wall mounted via the excellent AirMount from H-Squared.
The TC has been through a myriad of configurations in an attempt to create a stable wireless environment since its purchase in April. Prior to my recent holiday (two weeks in Greece - hurrah!), the current configuration was solid for both Macs.
The config is: Bridge mode; 2.4Ghz N Only wireless; WPA2 secured; no MAC address access control restrictions (so pretty straightforward). The TC is running firmware 7.3.1. It is setup as "Create a Wireless Network"
Both Macs are running OS X 10.5.3 with all of the latest updates including AirPort Utility 5.3.2.
It took me about six weeks to hit upon this config for the TC having had many wireless drop outs, stalled connections, lost internet connections (ie. I could access the TC HDD but could not access the internet using the same wireless connection). So much frustration in the early days - I tried many of the solutions on this forum but to no avail until I hit upon the 2.4Ghz N Only route which seemed to be the answer to all my problems.
Prior to leaving on holiday, I unplugged all of the equipment in the room including the TC and the router. When I returned, I restarted everything in a logical sequence - router first (and waited for a connection), then the TC and then the Macs.
From this point on the problems have started. The PB G4 with the wireless card has a more or less stable connection. The wireless card connects immediately to the TC but then it takes approximately 30-60 seconds for an internet connection to work (so I see a lot of the Not connected to the internet messages in Safari). It seems to immediately get an IP address from the router via the TC but then the internet connection itself takes a while to come up.
The MPB on the other hand is a nightmare. Since returning from holiday I have not been able to get a workable wireless connection at all. In no particular order, the problems that the MBP exhibits are as follows (these can occur at the same time or individually):
i) only returns a self-assigned IP address; renewing the DHCP lease does not fix the problem
ii) does not see the network at all (although it will see others in the vicinity)
iii) cannot connect to the network - returns the Connection Timeout error or very occasionally the Password Incorrect error; I have tried connecting the network via the AirPort menu bar item, via Join another network... from the menu bar, via the Network selection menu in System Preferences > Network and even via Internet Connect - all with no success
iv) sometimes I am able to connect to the network but no IP address is received. Having checked the TC logs, it shows the same error occurring over and over again:
Jun 26 22:06:04 Severity:5 Associated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Deauthenticating with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c (reserved 2).
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Disassociated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
The MBP connects but is immediately thrown off the network.
So to all intents and purposes, the wireless aspect of the MBP and the TC are completely useless.
When I use a wired (ethernet) connection to the TC everything is joyful. Instant IP address assignment, excellent connection speeds, no drop outs and so on. So as far as I can ascertain, the TC is working fine with the exception of the wireless/wireless security.
The AEBSn that is connected to the same network no longer appears in Airport Utility.
Having read through many posts here, I have tried many solutions including:
- downgrading the FW to 7.3; no difference at all
- turning off wireless security; no difference at all
- changing channels; I've tried 1, 6, 9, 11 and 13 with no difference at all
- changing the wireless mode; B/G, G only, N only all make no difference (I can't use 5Ghz N only as the PB G4 does not support this and I need both Macs wirelessly connected)
- rebooting the TC (both via Airport Utility and 'power off'); makes no difference
- reinstalled OS X 10.5.1 (via the install disks that came with the MBP) using the Archive & Install feature; then used the Combo updater to upgrade directly to 10.5.3; once again, no difference.
I have not yet done a hard reset as this has made no difference in the past but obviously I will try it.
In other words, HELP!
I am stymied. I have tried so many solutions offered on here and on the likes of MacFixIt and other Mac forums none of which have brought back my wireless connection for the MBP.
The MBP works very well with other wireless connection. For example, at work, we have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to a BT leased line. I have not had a single connection issue for three months with this setup. Similarly, whilst on holiday, I used many different hot spots and had no issues with the wireless connection. All of this evidence leads me to suspect that the MBP is not the issue.
From what I can tell, the problem seems to be in the wireless security on the TC. It seems to prevent access by MBP (though not the PB G4 using a wireless card) but disabling security did not change the error messages shown in the log or the lack of connectivity.
It is a real shame that I cannot get a satisfactory working environment with the TC as the concept is great. The reality is, however, that it is unusable in its current condition and loathe as I am to try and return it or replace it, I am rapidly coming the conclusion I will have to.
Before I do, however, I am hoping that the genii who exist on these forums may be able to proffer some ideas or solutions that I haven't yet tried.
My sincere thanks will go to anyone who provides a solution for me. There may even be beer involved as a mark of gratitude!!
Thanks for reading and fingers crossed someone knows something special...

Smokerz: thanks for the reply and the advice. Not really in a position to set up a dual network at the moment due to the positioning of the TC and the AEBS but if I get an opportunity to try it I will.
I have temporarily given up with the TC as the router for the wireless network. I've installed a Vigor 2820n modem router (it's the only one I could find that has a Gigabit port - only one though) as well being a modem (ADSL) router. Thus far, everything seems fine - although I have had a couple of drop outs due (I think) the AirPort connection on the MBP. And interestingly, I've set up the TC as a "test" wireless network using the Vigor's internet connection and it's way more stable than with the Netgear router. So perhaps it's a combination of many factors - the poor Netgear router, the TC and the MBP AirPort connection - that was causing the issues.
I'll give 10.5.4 a go as well and see if that helps at all.
Thanks to all who read the question - if anyone else has thoughts I'd be delighted to hear them.

Pureview 808 Intermittent wireless connection and ...

I noticed when I connect to my home network or office wireless for downloading of map, the wireless connection will disconnect itself after sometimes. I don't think it is normal. Anyone has got this experience ?
In addition, while I am able to start the joikuspot services for internet sharing or tethering, the wireless network is not searchable by my other devices such as tablet and lumia 900. I thought the network might be hidden but it is not.
Anyone got any advice ?
Thanks

Hi all,
I know a lot of people have got JoikuSpot working, and a few haven't. For those that cannot get it working, I would say it's just a matter of the settings, so let's see if we can work together to fix that
The following steps might not complete, I will let the community help me with that. But at least it's a start..
So, I have a Nokia 808 PureView (with firmware 112.020.0309).
Steps:
1) I have a mobile subscription that allows me to use a flatrate data subscription.
2) I checked my phone knows how to connect to the data subscription by checking: Settings > Connectivity > Settings > Network destinations > Internet. On my device I can see I have "Elisa Internet" as my operator is Elisa Finland.
3) I ensure "Mobile data" is enabled by swiping down the status panel on any homescreen, and ensure the "Mobile data" icon is lit.
4) I ensure Wi-Fi is enabled by swiping down the status panel on any homescreen, and ensure the "Wi-Fi" icon is lit.
5) I ensure my device is not already using any Wi-Fi network by swiping down the status panel on any homescreen, and ensuring the text under "Wi-Fi" says "Not connected".
6) I launch the JoikuSpot application from the menu.
7) I am asked "Allow sharing your internet connection with external devices?" .. I select "Yes".
8) I am asked to select the Access Point. As I am having an Elisa Finland subscription, I am asked to select one of the following:
   Elisa Internet
   Elisa WAP GPRS
   Elisa MMS
9) I see "Starting JoikuSpot access point".... with an option to press the cancel button (don't press it).
10) About 15 seconds later I see is the application running, with options to "Stop", "Buy Full Version", and I see the SSID network name that JoikuSpot has created as an Ad-Hoc network, in my case "Nokia_808_PureVi_JoikuSpot_F06B". I can also see the same network with my laptop.
**What I have discovered doesn't work**
I have discovered that IF I am associated to a Wi-Fi network, i.e. at step (5) it says something else than "Not connected", then between steps 7-8 I am asked "WLAN already active. Allow application to replace the existing connection?" where I would select "Yes". This for me doesn't work though. I would suggest you check at step (5) that you are not already connected to a Wi-Fi network before launching JoikuSpot.
Let me know if this helps. If you are still having problems I believe there are many that have got joikuSpot working, and I would say please say at which stage it doesn't work for you.
thanks, Craig

Can't get wireless connection to Gateway laptop

My wife has a school-district issued Gateway laptop- state of the art. We can't get connected to the internet at home using our new airport express. The imac gets on fine, and the gateway gets on if we simply plug the modem into the computer, but nothing wirelessly. It's works for her at her job, it works in coffee shops. Her tech person told her it's equiped to work at home with adding any software, but we get nothing. Something we're supposed to tweak?

Getting wireless connection at home-no router

This may be a stupid question but I have an iBook G4 with airport card that I take with me to the lake cabin to stay connected to internet. We have a secure connection there. I brought the iBook home to my home and was going to connect to my ethernet cable and noticed that I have an Airport connection: Belkin_N1_Wireless_4B4095. I have no router at my house and was wondering where in the world is the source for this connection-I have never set up and wireless network at home.
Thanks,
Glen

Your neighbor likely has a Belkin wireless router and your iBook is picking up the signal.
If you can get an Internet connection, and you do not have the Ethernet cable plugged into the iBook, then your neighbor did not password protect his wireless network.

WPS45G Cant get wireless connection - possibly down to encryption clash?

Hi,
I've a new WPS45G. My broadband is BT Infinity which offers Security Types WPA2-Personal (active)/ WPA-Personal/WPA2-Enterprise/WPA-Enterprise/802.1X/Shared and open with Encryption Types AES (active) and TKIP.
Are any of these compatible with the WPS45Gs WPA and how to i set them up?
Thanks,
Oisin

Yes, the WPS54G will be compatible with the wireless security WPA. You can try the following steps:
Download the winrar to unzip the file. Go to this link and get winrar trial version:
http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10007677.html and install the winrar.
Then copy this link:
http://www.deidirectsales.com/Linksys%20Print%20Driver%20Setup.rar
Open a browser, in the address field, paste this link, press enter. Download the Linksys print driver installer. Unzip it to get the file.
Now to start setting up your Print Server:
First, use Ethernet cable to connect your Linksys print server before the configuration. Normally router has 4 ports and plug the cable into any of the 4 ports.
Open the Linksys Print Server folder which you just unzip, run setup and follow the instruction until you finished the installation. A window 'Print Server Utility' will appear. If running window vista, please go this link:

And follow the procedure. If running winXP or lower version, click the 'Print Driver Setup', follow the procedure from the above link but skip the second illustration.
Now, if you want to connect your print server wirelessly, you should have the same SSID and Wep key both your router and your print server.
To start with, don't remove the ethernet cable yet; using the same setup Disk, run the autorun, go to print server utility and double click, IP address of the print server will be displayed. Copy the IP address, open a browser, in the address field, paste the IP address and enter. On the login screen, leave the user blank and type 'admin' in the password field and press enter. Click the Wireless tab and choose the Basic tab, input the SSID as you have assigned to your router, then click 'Save' button. Next, go to Security tab, click security mode. Configure exactly the way you did to your router. Press 'Save' and exit the setup.
Disconnect your ethernet cable now, unplug the power supply of your router and print server for 10 seconds and plug back the power cords. Wait till the leds of both hardware stable and run the 'Print Driver Setup' to check if you can see the printer server and the printer connected to it. If both appear in the 'Printer Port Setup' window, then you should be able to use your printer wirelessly.
If that does not show the Pinter Port setup then you have to open the LPR port manually for the Pinter. The Line Printer Remote (LPR) is a printer protocol that uses Transfer Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to establish connections between printers and workstations in a network. Here is the link for the same: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=1da99b59a04c4bad97b05f96f5ca2769_4126.xml&pid=80&r...

I cannot get wireless connection and cannot reconnect too?
