"INVALID PASSWORD" when trying to connect to Linksys Wireless Router

MacBook would connect to neighbors unsecured network, as well as network at local restaurant, but would not connect to my WPA Personal protected network.
Here is what I finally did to gain access:
1-Obtained the mac address for all 3 wireless computers.
2-Accessed the router, then went to the wireless tab>wireless mac filter.
3-Enabled mac address filtering, then entered the mac addresses of the three computers.
4-Selected the option to only allow these mac addresses to access the router.
5-Turn off the wireless security. 6-change the wireless security setting on each computer to none. Even with broadcast ssid disabled, all were able to detect and connect to the router.
As I think I understand it....to access my router, you'd have to know the hidden (ssid broadcast disabled) network name, but since I am allowing access only to the mac addresses listed, you can't access my network....so this should be pretty secure.
I'm a network (and Mac) novice, so if I'm wrong, please correct me (nicely).

Found my problem....When connecting to your network, and you're asked for your password (WPA in my case), make sure you enter your WPA Shared Key, and not your Router password. I think I win the dumb mistake of the year award.

Invalid Password when trying to connect wirelessly

Hey all,
For some reason my wife's laptop has decided to not recognize my wireless password. I have tried changing the router's security from WEP to WPA and back. Different passes, everything.
Network Setup Assistant sees the network but gives "The password you entered is invalid". Her new MacBook sees and logs in fine. I have been extremely careful in putting in the password and have tried both my password (13 characters) and long 26 hex.
The only thing out of the ordinary is I recently upgraded my DLink (DIR-615) firmware. I can't imagine why that would cause these problems though.
I am completely stumped. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Well it is definitely the router. I went to Panera Bread and got on without a problem.
I checked D-Link's troubleshooting site and that wasn't much help. I am using Hardware Version B2 FW 2.25. The closest was:
"To use encryption with the 2 products, you must use a HEX key instead of using a passphrase. To enter a HEX key on the Apple product, enter a dollar sign ($) before the key. For example:
For 64-bit encryption, enter $1234567890."
But the thing is I am trying to connect with security turned OFF!
So if this is a firmware problem without solution I was wondering if it might be possible to set up my old Netgear MR314 in conjunction with the D-Link. Is this possible or too problematic?
Thanks for the help.

Invalid password when trying to connect to wireless internet

I have just bought a 20 inch iMac and am having troubling connecting to the wireless internet in this house. My mac address has been added to the administrators network and she has given me the password but it comes back invalid. I am putting it in in lower case, exactly as it is written. I have gone thru network diagnostics etc. but still does not work. I went into Airport Utility but it couldn't find anything and asked me to rescan.
Is there anyone out there that had a similar problem, or can anyone help. At the moment I am using the internet via their ethernet cable in someone else's room, but would like to use wireless in my own room.

If you are entering the correct password, then I can only assume that your MAC is incorrect in the router.
Your Mac has two MAC addresses - one for Ethernet and a different one for WiFI. Be sure that your WiFI MAC is the one added to the router for WiFi

Telnet error when trying to connect to linksys wag120n router

typing in cmd "telnet 192.168.1.1" gives me this error "could not open connection to the host on port 23". I tried this same command on my old router and it worked just fine. so it has to be the router right? what settings should I change on my pc or router to fix this?

It is almost certainly an issue on the router and not on your PC. Since we do not know how the router is configured we can not know what you need to change. But my guess is that it is configured with a restriction that does not allow telnet from the subnet where your PC is located.

Error: Invalid Password when trying to sign in on any wireless devise

Error: Invalid Password when trying to sign in on any wireless devise
I even reinstalled my WRT110 to be sure of the Network Name and Password but I still get this error. I have never been able to log in to the wireless network. I can see it - Ienter my password and still "Invalid Password"

I don't understand this: Connect directly to the router. Is this the http://192.168.1.1?
I HAVE changed the network name, I HAVE changed the password.
I still get invalid password!!!
I am extremely frustrated by all this. I need simple instructions. I followed them when I set the friggin thing up, I reinstalled. I know what my friggin password is - why why why?

I'm trying to install a Linksys wireless router. Went through the installation software and all appears to be in order. Except that the message that I'm getting is that my router is not signed into my internet connection. Yet it is--I'm writing this aren't I?
The 4 green lights are on and I've reviewed the installation instructions. Any help?

You need to make sure that you have an active internet connection from your ISP (Internet Service Provider). What connection are you using, CABLE or DSL ?

Since last update (today) I get invalid password when trying to use back to my MAC, password works everywhere else

since last update (today) I get invalid Apple ID password when trying to use back to my MAC in Icloud app on my MAC, password works on all my other devices. GLITCH ?

Try going to the Apple ID page on your web browser
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
and try to either retrieve or reset your password
(obviously you had to be able to successfully log in to be able to post here)
I was finally able to log in through my system preferences after about three or four hours. I ran a disk utility to repair permissions and restarted and it seemed to work ok.

'invalid password' resonse when trying to connect to a wireless network

I purchased a macbook air a few days ago. I have used pc for years, although during college (1990 - 1996) i used apple almost exclusively. I have a wireless network at home which 3 other pc laptops are connected to. I am however unable to connect my MBA to this network in spite of many attempts. the tech guys in my office tell me to reinstall the mac OS that came with my MBA. Am not sure what to do? has anyone had this experience before? I have my suspicions that the keychain utility is part of the problem.....am clutching at straws here though....HELP!

Walidjam, A few questions, Are you on 10.5.8 or Snow Leopard. Have you ever successfully hooked to this network?
Is the network WEP or WPA2 Personal. Does the encryption type on your MBair definition match that of your wireless router?

Why does my time capsule not recognize the password when trying to connect Apple TV, iPhone 4s or Canon printer

I have tried to set up my wireless as before but the Time Capsule only recognizes my Macbook. I have used the correct password but nothing is happening except an error message. This should have been simple so what is the glitch.

Not sure.. but I strongly recommend you start over.
Use all names that comply with new Apple standard protocol .. ie SMB.. which means the names recommended in the airport utility are WRONG.. do not use them.
That is especially important for the printer.
SHORT.. names should be 10characters or less.. if you can manage it.. 20 at most.
NO SPACES..
PURE ALPHANUMERIC... no apostrophe, no other illegal characters.
So call the TC .. TCgenx (x I replace with the actual generation of the product).
Wireless name.. TCwifi
Use only wireless passwords that also comply.. only a bit longer is ok.. 10-20 characters is usually plenty.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
No luck.. do some more.
Set wireless names for the two bands to different values.. eg.. TC24ghz and TC5ghz
Leave off the security..
Test 2.4ghz band at channels 11, 6, 1
Once it works put the security back on.

Maximum length of cable when I connect a Linksys Wireless router to another Linksys Wireless router?

HI,
I have 2 router
1. Main router for connect to internet with ADSL connection.
2. seccond router for client in another room/floor.
I try to connect both router together with UTP cable CAT5e length 40m. so seccond router client can not to receive IP address form DHCP of main router but when I bring seccound router near main router it can do, then i want to know how long of cable can do when conect routers together?
thank you

That mean 100ft * 12inc * 2.54cm / 100cm = 30.48m. right, so that mean my cable length is so longer then I can not receive DHCP IP information from main router.
I understand correct or not?
thank you

Error message "not connected via PPPoE" when trying to connect using airport wireless

I cannot connect to my wireless internet connection using my ibook laptop. Using airport, I keep getting the message "host cannot find the PPPoE" or something like that. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi, Bob. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it? ("iBook" covers a lot of different Mac models, each with different capabilities.)
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Which version of the operating system is it running now?
What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)

Manually trying to set up Linksys wireless router.

To make a long story short I hit something on my macbook so that whenever I put a new application into the system it never loads the cd with the right program. I am trying to manually connect my wireless router. I know the default address for most Linksys routers is 192.168.1.1 and the login in is Admin and password is Admin. I am on the internet connection and I do not know how to find my server address? Iam pretty lost in this process. Any help as to where to get the server address or what I could do to fix my mac so that when I load a cd it opens the right application...

I have since reinstalled the 11gR2 database after noticing that I was missing some library paths (/lib and /usr/lib) in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var.
The database that I reinstalled at this point seems to be working fine but all the clients on the other VIPs are installed with those same paths missing from the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. We are in the process of updating the paths on those boxes and then will try reinstalling the clients with the hopes that this will help.
