Imac i7 unable to connect to router at 270mbs on DGN2000

Hello,
I have a Netgear DGN2000 router and i decided to switch the speed settings from 130Mbs to 270Mbs, but after doing so my imac was unable to connect. I tested my windows based laptop and that was working fine. I switched back to 130Mbs and it connected.
I've checked the Network utility and the Link speed is currently at 54Mbs (not even 130Mbs).
Airport is compatible with Draft N speed but why is my Imac not even connecting to the router when i select 270Mbs, any suggestions?
Many Thanks
S

Wireless connection speeds (or lack thereof) are a bit difficult to figure out; for instance: do you have anything else that is using the network which still only works with the earlier slower "g"? Usually the network will only work as fast as the slowest (weakest) link. How far is the iMac from the router and are there any obstacles in between (walls, ceilings, anything metal, appliances, etc). And, who is your ISP, how old are the cables they are using from their hub to your house, is there a splitter?
After almost 2 years of mediocre speeds with Comcast, it was finally determined that a) their cable from the box to the house was defective and replaced and b) they supplied a new splitter. At the same time, I replaced all the Cat5 cables with Cat6 and got a new router (Netgear WNR3500) and haven't had a problem since.

Unable to connect to router

Last night I was watching some random video on youtube on my laptop when suddenly I lost my signal. This happens often when I stream multiple videos, usually just an unplug and replug of the router's power cord does the trick. Didn't work this time. Annoyed, I tried to reinstall my router for a fix (is usually my last resort) but at the part where it tries to find the router I get this "Unable to connect to router!" message. I can still seem to connect to the internet with the router on the desktop, but my laptop doesn't even read my wireless. Pinging the router I get time outs, IPconfig gives me a 71.59. instead of a 192.168. I can't connect to the router configuration through 192.168.1.1 at all. I tried unplugging absolutely everything and reseting the router but I'm still stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

Hard reset router for 1 minute and reboot it. Check if IP address is 192.168.1.xxx or not.

Imac FaceTime unable to connect to network (safari connected and loading pages).

I have a brand new Imac, I have never been able to get facetime to work. It keeps getting hung up on the log in page, and eventually gives me an error message of unable to connect to network. Safari and other web based programs are working perfectly.
Any Ideas?

How can I get my Mac to join an open 3Com wireless
network? The network is recognised but Mac is unable
to connect...
The 3Com wireless router is connected to a broadband
router through a PC running XP.
Do you have two routers? That may be your issue. You should only be using one router, or configure one of the routers and turn of DHCP.

WRT54 V8 - Unable to connect to router... Help!

Hi Guys!
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'm not able to connect to my router. I'm new to this whole wireless network and have hit a road block.
I put in the CD and followed the instructions. When I get to the point of it detecting my computer settings, I get the following message: "Unable to connect to the router. Check that the router has been connected to the computer and that your ethernet adapter is working."
I was able to connect to the neighbors network from my folks place, so I know it works. I'm guessing if I could get passed that point of the wizard, I'd be able to set up my network...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!

M82 Unable to connect to router

I have recently started up my Thinkcentre M82 tower and it's unable to connect to my home router/modem.
I'm not sure if this is because it lacks the correct drivers or if it's a different problem but it would be wondeful if someone knows the issue.
The only Network Adapter I have is: Intel (R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection

Reboot the router.
Remove the security from the router.
If you're able to connect with no security on the router, re-add the security and try it again. If it won't connect, either use a different type of security that does work, or just get a new router. There have been a number of reports of (especially) older Netgear routers that have compatibility problems with newer devices (both iPhones and Adroid devices). The problem is most likely the router.

Having issues getting Apple TV to connect to comcast wifi. Sees the router' enter password and says unable to connect. Router connected to iPad and pcs with no issues..., thoughts?

At a loss. Have comcast wifi. No issues connecting to iPad and laptop. However, when I try to connect iPhone 5 with OS 7 or applets with latest software I get unable to connect message. I can get the iPhone to connect if right next to modem, but unable to connect one room away. iPads have no issues and connect from any room.

Hello Tvsteven,
Thank you for providing all the details regarding the Wi-Fi connection issue you are experiencing with your Apple TV. I found an article with some steps you can take to troubleshoot an issue like this.
I recommend reviewing the full article, but the section titled "If you can see your Wi-Fi network, but you are unable to connect to it" specifically stands out to me for the situation you described:

EA6500 Unable to connect to router

I just bought the EA6500 last week. Had to RMA it on Monday and got the new one today. The issue still persists. The power light is constantly blinking and my computer is unable to obtain an IP address from it. I contacted tech support and was unable to get the issue resolved so I had it exchanged believing it was defective. The new one does the same thing. When I connect my computer to it, the light on my Ethernet port stays a solid orange instead of green like it does for my usual router. The Cisco light is constantly blinking. I would really like some assistance in this issue as I doubt I would receive two defective routers in a row.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The EA-6500 has many many issues i also bought one awhile back and it was broke right out of the box never could get it to work or connect and i have set up many routers. I would return it get your money back and then research your next router purchase.

Cisco 886 VA initial set up question - unable to connect to router

Hallo,
I am trying to set up my Cisco 886 VA router, but after approx 5sec of "network identification" the network status on my PC is disconnected and I cannot access the router at 10.10.10.1 . The FE port blinks green during this time, then stops and the overall status is green.
I tried 4 different PCs, have DHCP enabled, all directly connected to one of the FE ports vie ethernet cabel. I also tried fixed IP setting (10.10.10.2 with 255.255.255.248, gateway 10.10.10.1), same result. I also tried hardware reset. And tried to connect via the configuration professional client that would just hang up.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Please be gentle if its a stupid question, I am new to networking
Thanks & regards
Helge

Sorry for not responding, I went on vacation
I finally figured it out: the factory setting of the 886 has no IP address assigned and all FE ports are shut down.
This means the only way to connect to it is like Alain suggest via console, then assign the IP address to VLAN1 and open the FE ports.
I realize now that the Cisco 8xx serie is not for retail customers, but requires learning the Cisco IOS CLI - I am gioing through this now step by step, long journey, especially because I have VDSL IPTV with T-online as my goal
The only thing that troubles me: the Cisco documentation that came with the product clearly stated that the router comes with pre-configured IP enabled Fastehternet port and suggested this as a method to do the initial set up. It would be nice to update those docs to reflect that the only way to connect is the console via COM and hypertm.
Thanks for the resoponses, this topic can be closed - I just added this response in case someone searches for the topic.

Unable to connect to the router! (wrt54g v. 2)

I just got a router from a garage sale; it was still in the box and everything.
Well, I tried hooking it up to my modem and computer to get wifi, but I can't get it to work.
This is the setup:
modem -> router -> computer
I can access the internet when the setup is this way, but there's no wifi, and I can't access 192.168.1.1 or set it up using the CD it came with. When I go through the setting up process with the CD, I get this error message that says "Unable to connect to router! Check that the router has been connected to the computer, and that you're ethernet adapter is working."
When I try to go to 192.168.1.1, it says "The connection has timed out." I can't ping it either.
I've also tried resetting it several times, but that doesn't do anything.
Someone please help!

Hi sylentknight and welcome to the forums!
You said that you are able to connect to the internet with this set-up: modem -> router -> computer right? So does that mean that you can ping the router when it is connected directly to your computer? Reason why I'm asking is if it does work, you can try to configure the router for the wireless settings while it is directly connected to the router first then try to go wireless. Please let me know if understood your post correctly.

Unable to connect to Netflix through Apple TV (ATV-ui62)

I can connect to Netflix through my iMac but unable to connect via ATV, any suggestions? I've done both hard and soft resets of ATV to no avail and rebooted router. I have a 3rd Generation ATV.

I have the same issue, but I'm not using a VPN. I can also watch netflix on my Macbook Pro or on my iPad Air. If I try to Airplay netflix from my iPad to the AppleTV (2d gen) it will pop up a message saying an error has occurred, I can though, Airplay through my Macbook but only because I'm using the browser to stream the Netflix content.
Maybe it is the Geographical thing.
Any help is appreciated.

Frustrated - Can't connect to router with laptop after disconnect, other devices work fine.

I have a RevI Actiontec router with dual antennas(not sure of firmware as I am not at home). My wife can be on her laptop all day, then when I come home with my IPad, it make her lose connection to the router. The router still connects to my iPhone 4 and iPad (both with iOS 6.0.1), but she is unable to connect to router at all. Everything continues to function normally on my Apple devices, so we are still connected to the internet. I have a laptop as well, and when this is happening, both of the laptops stop connecting, but the apple devices and our Toshiba TV and BluRay players continue to function normally. As a temp fix, I disconnect internet from my iPad and restart the router. It works until we try to run both at the same time.
I am mildly computer literate, though I know little about network setups beyond security, MAC filtering, and other slightly advanced setup stuff.
This is really frustrating and seems to be getting worse. We used it like this in our new house for several months before this started happening.

Also check to make sure neither of the devices are set to use a static IP address.

Cannot connect to router E1000

Hello,
I own a E1000 router that I use with several wireless machines. I have no problem connecting to the internet.
Unfortunately, I cannot connect to the configuration of the router by typing https://192.168.1.1/ nor http://192.168.1.1/ in a browser, be it wirelessly or wiredly. For example, Firefox displays "Connection has been reinitialized". Furthermore, when I launch Cisco Connect, it only shows the error "Unable to connect to router".
I tried to switch my router off and on, but that doesn't help. Totally resetting the router solves the problem, but not definitely.
Is there a solution that does not require resetting my router?
Thank you very much.

(I don't see anymore how to edit my initial post.)
The message displayed by Firefox is “The connection was reset” and not what I had translated into “Connection has been reinitialized”.
As far as the OSs are concerned, the machines that should be able to access my router are running Ubuntu, Android, Windows and an embed version of Linux. I tried with different webbrowsers, including Firefox and the Android Browser.
Please tell me if I should add any additional information.
I did a lot of search on the web and some say that similar problems come from the option of HTTPS that is selected for accessing the administration page. Is this correct? Should I abandon the idea of wanting a configuration with HTTPS?

I'm having trouble connecting my Intel iMac with the internet using wifi router

I'm having trouble configuring my iMac to accept a connection with my Telstra Elite mobile broadband Wifi router.
The iMac's Wifi is turned on and the elite router is selected in the Wifi list with a tick.
The router is turned on, and connected to the internet.
I'm able to surf the net and collect emails using my MacBook Pro ( what I'm using now) and my iPad with no hassles by connecting them to the Telstra Elite Wifi router. But I'm unable as yet to get a connection using the iMac.
The Telstra router accepts up to 5 simultaneous connections.
At present the display on the router says that three devices are connected. They being the iPad, the MacBook Pro and the iMac.
Can anyone help me out?

Unable to connect to Verizon Fios Router after Snow Leopard upgrade

After upgrading to Snow Leopard on the three-year-old iMac, I am unable to connect wirelessly to the Verizon Fios router, and what's worse, the Fios rep couldn't solve it either. She thought that it was an Apple software issue. Any ideas? My other two Macs are still connecting to the router without a problem and the MacBook is using Snow Leopard also.

You might try resetting your connection settings using the steps listed in this message:

They're not guaranteed to solve the problem, but they'll only take you a minute or so to try.

IMac unable to connect to secured network after 3 years

My iMac appears to be unable to connect to my wireless network even though nothing has changed. Error message reads ' could not join "XXXX" a connection timeout ocurred.
I connected to my new router with no issue and have been for other a month. Had no issue connecting to previous routers.
This afternoon, my iMac prompted me to join a network. I reset my router as this commonly solves most issues however in this instance no joy.
My Sony blu ray connects without issue (wired) my iPhone and iPad also connect (wirelessly)
I have reset my iMac aswell as shut it down and turned it on from cold, no luck. I have also tried to connect to my iPhone's hotspots functionality with no joy.
I am able to join the unsecured 'btcloud' network with seemingly no issue.
As nothing has changed, the only two conclusions that I can draw is either 1. There has been a software update in the background that has a bug 2. The hardware itself has an issue.
In my experience hard tends to be an all or nothing thing. Which leaves me only with hidden software update which I wasn't aware that it was caperable of.
I am running Mountian Lion (10.8) on a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Any ideas?

For the software update it has to be initiated by the user, unless you have it set to update automatically.
Usually a connection timeout is due to the computer not being able to communicate with the router properly. Are your ip setting set up as static or dynamic? Also have you tried deleting the network from your preferences and adding the content in again? As sometimes the issue can be a setting was wrong. If this doesn't solve it you can call in if you are within your complementary ninety days phone support or if you have Apple Care and an Apple employee should be able to assist you.
