IMAC/VERIZON DSL wireless connection

Has anyone been able to connect "wireless" an IMAC-24 (intel) with Verizon's DSL?

Imac 24 - Intel Core 2 Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   XP - 2000 - NT

Thanks Donald, but I should had been more specific.
My equipment:
My Apple is an Imac-24 Intel Core 2 Duo with an Airport Extreme card w/ firmware version 4.80.76.1.
I network a Toshiba laptop w/MS XP using an Atheros AR5001+ wireless card, a couple of generic Intel PC w/MS XP using an Ethernet cable connections, A USB D-link print server using Ethernet cable.
My ISP is Verizon and the connection type is DSL.
Verizon provided me with a modem/router combo to use - a Westell VersaLink model 327W. This device is a specifically made for Verizon by Westell, thus Westell will not even talk to me.
The Problem:
I can not connect wireless my Imac to the network.
My Apple Airport is able to find the network and it makes it available for connection. When I try to connect I get the following message: "There was an error joining the AirPort network 'nameofmynetwork'." Can there be a more useless message?
Background:
All computers, ethernet and wireless, except for the Imac Wireless, connect and function properly. Thus, reasonably, I can eliminate a hardware problem with the possible exception of the Airport Card malfunctioning, but I doubt it since it seems to be recognizing my network. I don't have access to another AP (access Point) device to fully eliminate the AirPort Card from being the problem.
Not that it really matters, but an ethernet connect to my Apple works well.
The Westell only uses the Wire Equivalent Privacy (WEP) scheme. I understand the problem with this scheme in which, unfortunately, it wasn't very standarized and hashing of passwords could occur among devices from different vendors producing non-matching encryption. I have tried all kinds of combinations open, shared, 64, 128, hex, ascii, and I even reconfigured my network to be totally unsecure (Eliminated password, mac table, etc, etc.) but I still can not connect.
I have called Apple, Verizon, Westell and exhausted the capabilities of their "technical support" - that is, we went through their entire "Scripted" Q&A system without a solution, and I could never get them to scalate my problem to a real tech person. - They are all pointing the finger at each other, except for Westell who basically said: "NO MY PROBLEM! We build this device specifically for Verizon and we provide no support"
I went to the local store and spoke with the resident guru but, all he tried to impress on me was how complicated networking was. To that I left, I couldn't take it anymore, I am not looking for a network guru, just someone who knows what are the parameters I should use so that that the Apple's version of the Airport Extreme can communicate with Verizon-Westell VersaLink 327W or that maybe can confirm that this two things will never talk to each other.
To anyone reading the above, I apologize if sounded cranky.

  • Airport Express to Verizon DSL Modem - Connectivity issue

    I have Verizon DSL at home. I have an iMac G4 1.2GHZ w/o internal wireless. I'm trying to use the AX to join the DSL Wireless, and use the Ethernet on the AX to provide internet access to the iMac.
    Setup:
    Verizon DSL modem w/ build in Wireless G
    MAC address authentication
    AX MAC added to the MAC list
    AX Sucessfully added to DSL Wireless (I can see it connected at the DSL modem web page
    AX Status light is green (confirmed its getting an IP from the DSL Wireless)
    iMac plugged into the AX via ethernet (confirmed its getting an IP from the AX)
    No internet access on the iMac however.
    I did notice in the Airport Utility that sometimes the AX is logging:
    Connected to: <insert mac address here>
    Disconnected from: <insert mac address here>
    over and over at times....
    The AX and the Wireless router are approx 15ft from each other.
    I've also powered everything down, fired up DSL Router 1st, then AX, then Computer. Still no dice on internet to the iMac.
    Any suggestions? I shouldn't have to add the iMac MAC address to the filtering...but maybe....didn't have time to try that lastnight/thismorning.
    Thanks for any help!

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Couple of thoughts here:
    Check AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just below the icons
    Make sure there is a check mark next to "Enable ethernet clients"
    You are trying to use the AirPort Express in a configuration known as a ProxySTA.
    The modem/router will need to be compatible with this function, so you should check with your ISP to see how this could be enabled on your modem/router.

  • Can I use BOTH Verizon DSL Wireless AND DISHnet Wireless at the same time?

    Waiting for Dishnet contract to die and rot away but about 2 months to go.  Want to get with Verison Standard DSL Wireless as no data cap tho slower.
    I can just wait till Dishnet dies and keep bumping into data caps with the Dish service OR can I get the DSL setup and use one connex for the iMac and one for the iPad without any conflicts?
    I am so ignorant of technology that I see a Swing-a-Way hand crank can opener as a marvel of industrial magic,....so please talk simple words to me, :-) 
    Thanks
    DH

    Sign up for the fastest DSL package that you can. Even if the overall speed is slower, the fact that you won't be going over a satellite connection anymore should make the Internet *that* much faster. The Wireless Gateway should come included.
    You can use both services at once, although note that determining how you plan to use both at the same time is going to be another story. Some people use Dual WAN routers (as in, routers that accept two Internet connections and can balance between the two). Others will use the connections separately, by moving devices between the two connections as needed.

  • IMac-stereo system wireless connection?

    Suggestions wanted, please, for wireless connection of IMac with Airport Extreme card and/or Bluetooth to older stereo system in other room to play ITunes/Internet-accessed radio stations.

    Do you know whether it can be used simultaneously with other tasks, such as printing wirelessly via Airport and browsing? I could never print without switching off Internet access in order to connect to my printer.
    Yes, the AX can be configured in several ways, including a remote base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). In a WDS, the AX would both extend your current AEBSn's wireless network and provide a means to stream iTunes and/or share a USB printer concurrently.
    Where is a good guide to all these connectivity issues?
    There are several good ones at the following link: Apple Manuals

  • My iMac loses its wireless connection repeatedly

    My iMac loses it's wireless connection repeatedly. The only solution seems to be deleteing the wireless network from the Network Preferences, and then deleting the network password from Keychain. But I have to do this five or six times nightly. Help!

    Softwre Update would bring you up to 10.7.4 and there have been updates involving WiFi. Also here are some links to potential fixes:

    Wireless Improvements
    Move the Base Station If interference is particularly bad in one part of your house or office, move the base station to another location. But this can be tricky if your AirPort base station has to connect to the broadband feed coming into the house and that feed happens to enter at a particularly interference-prone spot.
    Use the 5GHz Band Compared with the 2.4GHz band, the 5GHz band is practically empty. The newest AirPort Extreme Base Station is one of the few Wi-Fi base stations designed for home use that work in that 5GHz band. All of Apple’s Core 2 Duo laptops and iMacs (except the discontinued 17-inch 1.87GHz model) can also use the 5GHz band; with the build-to-order wireless option, so can the Mac Pro.
    To switch to the 5GHz band, launch AirPort Utility, select your base station, and switch to Manual Setup. Click on the AirPort button and select the Wireless tab. Select 802.11n Only (5 GHz) from the Radio Mode pop-up menu. Click on the Wireless Options button and select Use Wide Channels. Click on Update to restart the base station.
    Currently, no Mac-compatible adapters enable you to use the 5GHz band in older Macs or with older versions of OS X.
    These Firmware updates may or may not apply to your system, but may help with your particular problem.

  • Verizon DSL - Intermittent Connectivity Issues - Westell 7500

    Hello guys! I'm hoping you can help me out.  I can't even count the number of problems I have had over the past 9 years, and each time Verizon decides to blow me off like always.  Getting to be the last straw.
    Anyways - I'll have a solid (slow, like always) connection, and then all of a sudden my DSL Light on the Modem starts blinking.  It'll blink.. then solid.  Repeat. It does it randomly.  I've tried to recreate it on my own, but haven't been able to.  Just seems to be random. Sometimes I'll go 30 minutes without a disconnect, sometimes only 2 minutes, if that.  At first I thought it must just be rough weather or some outage.  Today is day 4, and I'm sick of it because a lot of what I do is internet based.
    My plan is the 3.1-7Mbps.  I had the one below that plan, but speeds of <1Mbps were killing me.  My usual speed with this is roughly 5Mbps. Modem is set to bridge due to me using a separate router for my network. 
    I have tried with no success:
    -power cycle the modem
    -turned off all devices on the network
    -new RJ11 cable
    Here are my Trans Stats:

    Here is the log.  The light was solid.  I cleared the log.  I refreshed, gave it about 1-2 minutes and it disconnected. (flashing light.) I let it establish the connection again, and then went to pull the log. (All)  I think while I was doing this, it disconnected again, but I'm not sure if it'll show.

  • G5 iMac keeps dropping wireless connection

    I've tried all the steps in this discussion -
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10695921&start=1
    - and I keep getting an intermittent network connection.
    This is from connecting to a LinkSys WRT54G router to which a desktop running Windows 7 is connected and to which the following devices connect flawlessly:
    - a 1.0 GHz eMac running 10.4.11
    - an HP nw8440 notebook running Windows 7 x64 (used to type this post)
    - another HP notebook running Windows XP SP3
    - a Dell notebook running Windows 7
    - an iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.1
    - a second-generation iPod Touch running iOS 4.1
    - a 2.0 GHz MacBook running 10.6
    This machine connected flawlessly when I ran Tiger, but upgrading to Leopard recently seemed to kill my AirPort card.
    Anyone have any ideas that don't involve selling the iMac on eBay and getting a new iMac?

    Well, it pays to question your assumptions.
    Despite the fact every other device can connect to the router with no issues, it turns out that moving the router to a different location made a huge difference for the G5 iMac.
    There is still the issue that I didn't have this problem until I installed Leopard, but whatever: it's an older machine, it's working great now, and I'll ignore my engineering instincts which really, really want to understand exactly what changed and why it was failing.

  • IMac bELKIN n1 Wireless connection impossible in WEP or WPA! Help

    I bought a Belkin N1 wireless router and it works fine with my old PowerBook G4 but not with my new iMac in WEP or WPA mode (without password it is OK). I’ve been told to put a $ before the password but it still does not work!
    Do you have any idea?
    Thanks

    Hi Dave,
    I haven't seen anybody able to use WPA with ICS yet, Mac to Mac anyway, and only WEP as of recent.
    ASCII passwords may need to be enclosed in quote marks, (or maybe that's been fixed!?

  • Cannot connect airport express to existing Verizon DSL Network

    Hi all,
    I have just purchased a 802.11n Airport Express. The purpose was to extend my current wireless network and to rock tunes. I currently have a wireless DSL modem connected to Verizon via ethernet. The modem is a GT704WG verizon dsl wireless modem. When I try to use the airport utility and go through the set up I am told that the AE cannot connect to the network. During the setup it does see my current wireless network and asks for the password which I provided. But still it doesn't work. Is there a compatibility issue here? Will a 802.11n AE work with an existing modem?

    Hello ferrjerr. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Which wireless encryption standard are you using on the Actiontec GT704-WG Gateway? WEP or WPA? If using WEP, I strongly suggest switching to WPA as WEP is no longer considered secure. If you are already using WPA, please try temporarily disabling it to see if the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) can now join the Actiontec's wireless network.

  • Is the new imac compatible with the dell v313w printer for wireless connection?

    Is the new iMac compatible via wireless connection with the Dell V313W printer?

    Hi Sara!
    I got an email refering me to your post.  Ok, www.MacMall.com is a US website that sells Apple products.  I bought my iMac&printer through their website and worked with their customer service department to get my iMac communicating with the Dell V313W printer.  They have people that will take calls any time-any day at phone number 1-800-622-6255.  The other option since you are in France would be to contact a local Apple dealer...or see if they have an authorized dealer in Europe that could help.  I purchased the Apple Care Support contract with the iMac but they were unable to help since they weren't familiar with the Dell printer.
    As I mentioned in my previous post the things we tried were: 1) If I remember right... I downloaded the Dell V313W printer driver from the Dell website then connected the iMac to the printer via the USB cable and established communication. I then disconnected the cable and 2) I moved the iMac and printer closer to my wireless router then 3) I turned on "Printer Sharing" on the iMac - I think this is a critical step...to do this go to System Preferences > Hardware > Print&Scan.  In the window that opens make sure the box is checked that says "Share this printer on the network" then go to the "Sharing Preferences..." box and check the "Printer Sharing" and "Scanner Sharing" boxes in the window that opens.  When I did all this the iMac went through it's routine to find the printer and the connection was finally established! 
    One more thing, make sure if your wireless router is locked for security that you enter the correct password when prompted...this might have been one of my problems also!
    Hope this helps.
    All the best,
    mw

  • Using iMac as a wireless base station.

    Is it possible to have my iMac broadcast a wireless connection through airport to allow computers to join AND to get online, basically using the iMac as a wireless router. The iMac is currently connected through a LAN line.

    Yes. It's a built-in function.
    Open System Preferences Sharing pane. With Tiger, click on the Internet tab. Set things there so that you:
    +Share your connection from+ *Built-in Ethernet*
    +To computer using+ Airport
    Click the +Airport Options+ button to set up the wireless network. Note (or change) the name of the network. OK out of that dialog.
    Click the Start button.
    On the computers using this service, look for the network name you noted above.

  • Verizon DSL and wrt54g

    Having problems installing my linksys wrt54g v8 router with my verizon DSL internet connection. On the step where the computer checks the internet connection I get an error message saying. Unable to detect internet connection or something like that. I tried going into command prompt and typing ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew then ipconfig/all and tried again but still same message. I also tried powering down the modem and restarting it. And restarting the whole entire computer but it still isn't working. Was just wondering if anyone else is having a problem with verzion and linksys router. Also if you have experienced this problem how have you fixed it? Should I try setting up a static ip or would that just be a waste of time? If you have any other suggestions then please feel free to give me any and all information you can. I'm not a beginner on computers so I fully know what I'm doing though I'm not a complete expert so I'm a little stumped on this particular issue. Thanks for reading.
    Solved!

  • File transfer EXTREMELY slow over wireless connection

    Hi there,
    I have recently been transfering some files from my TiVo to my iMac via a wireless connection. I don't know if the files are going through my router first, and then coming to my iMac or what, but the transfer rate is really slow; about 50 - 100 KBps. That's Bytes, not bits. I know that 802.11g is 54 mbps, which translates to about 7 MBps, but I'm getting about 1/70th that speed.
    I recently moved my computer to a part of my house that has better wireless reception. I have an AirPort extreme card that is 802.11g compatible, an 802.11g Linksys wireless router, and a D-Link 802.11g wireless USB adapter hooked up to my TiVo. 2 dashboard widgets that I have tell me that the connection strength to my iMac is excellent (>75%), and that the speed is full (54 mbps). My iMac discovered the TiVo with the "Bonjour" technology built into Mac OS X. It doesn't make any sense to me. Even if the files are going through the router, everything is operating at 7 MBps, so why am i getting 50-100 MBps? Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Trevor

    Here's what I did:
    I moved my computer to a place where I could connect to my wireless router through an ethernet cable. I tried to transfer files from the TiVo again using the same application, and the download speed was no faster. I tried having both Airport and Ethernet on, and it was slower. I tried just Airport, and it was no faster than before. So I found a new way to download the shows using Safari and Bonjour. I tried, and it was downloading at (according to the downloads window)... 0B/s. I thought "Great". I can't even download it at all this way. So in desparation, I moved my computer right next to the USB device that the signal is coming from, and I get the same download speeds using the application. I try with Safari, and this time it actually starts downloading faster than 0B/s. The top speed I've seen it at is what it's hovering at right now: 129 KB/s. Now here comes the interesting part:
    My internet connection (loading webpages with Safari) was lightning quick everywhere my computer was. That indicates that the issue is with the USB device on the TiVo, and not my router or mac. I looked for an ethernet pot in the back of my TiVo, but I could not find one. I found a phone jack (for connecting to the TiVo service via the phone), and my iMac has a phone jack too, but then I realized that the application I was using and Safari needed to use either the Ethernet port, or AirPort, so that wouldn't have worked. I guess that the TiVo cannot process and export the info at faster than 100-150 KBps. Oh well.

  • Help setting up wireless network with Verizon DSL

    I bought a MacBook Pro and an Air Port Extreme yesterday. I have an iMAC G5 from October 2004. I have Verizon DSL service and a Westell Series 6100 modem.
    Bottom line --> I can't get the wireless connection to work.
    I have successfully used a wired dsl connection with my iMAC G5. But, I tried to just disconnect the ethernet cable from my computer and put it into the Airport Extreme and that didn't work. I used the utility to set up the base station and the network, but I'm not sure if I did it properly.
    I know a PPPoE is involved but I'm not sure of how to configure the system properly. I'm also not sure if the problem is with the configuration of the AirPort extreme or with my Verizon modem.
    All I know is that I want to see a green light on that thing and not a flashing orange one.
    Does any one have some instructions for setting up your AirPort Extreme using Verizon DSL? Has anyone else had similar problems? Thanks in advance!
    MacBook Pro & iMAC G%   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Just finished solving this problem. I am not a strong tech guy, but I know that since it works for others it is just a question of poking and pushing. Anyway it was nine hours in the making...
    My snow airport working with an airport express had been bullet proof with verizon dsl for a couple of years. I wanted to upgrade since I am now Intel mac and hit the blinking amber light.
    I am only going to be able to give the big picture... The AEBS found and worked with all my computers from the beginning, so the problem became that the default IP Address and Subnet Mask were wrong and never automatically adjusted by the assistants.
    Take your working plug-in ethernet connections or the working snow connections from the Airport Utility Internet Connect page. I used the manual configure process to access the info screens.
    I copied all the numbers down, but I believe you only have to insert the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router Address and DNS servers. I put "dsl.verizon.net" in the domain search box.
    Go up to the IPv4 pull down menu and select manual and put in the numbers you copied. Then click Update. When the software returns control, the AEBS will still be orange.
    Toggle the IPv4 to "using DHCP" Click Update.
    This should bring the green light.
    I think I then updated the Network Preference Pane, probably had to manually put in my wireless password again. Browser and mail program worked.
    I think that was all. I may have had to repeat the toggle to make it stick, but I am operational for the last several hours, including the airport express, a G4 laptop and a Sony PC.
    Hope this helps.

  • Airport Wireless and MacBook Pro Security with Verizon DSL

    My Airport wireless network connects my MacBook Pro mid-2009 model and iPhone 4S via TimeCapsule (1st gen) to a Verizon DSL D-Link DSL-2750B modem/router. Lately, I've been having problems with slow speeds (since the spring it's gone from a very nice 3.8 to 2.7 to an almost halved 2.1 mpbs download speed). I tinkered around with the modem settings from the webpage control panel and reset to the factory settings to no avail as far as increasing my speed but I did get all my connections back and running again.
    However, my question is this: the Macbook's wi-fi drop down menu shows the name of  my own user created wi-fi network name, along with some others throughout the neighborhood, along with my networks SSID number that everything all links up to. My Macbook connects in bridge mode via Ethernet and wi-fi with WPA2 security and is "Automatic" for the location. Is this safe to have the SSID ID listed there in plain view to the neighborhood and if not what should I do? Thank you.

    I seem to be having the same basic problem-except the wireless connection works fine when I am in the basement (where the Airport Extreme is located) but when I go up flight of stairs, i get "invalid password". Of course, the password is the correct one for the wireless.
    THoughts on whether it might help if I by boosters for the wireless for each floor of my house?
    Oh, one other thing, my macbook pros never did this before today, my macpro desktop is on an upper floor and it connects wirelessly easily, as does my iMac on an upper floor. I've had the macbook pros working just fine for at least a year each and I didn't change any settings on any of the computers.
    Thanks
