Issue in wireless connectivity

helo SIR    I have purchased  Pavilion 15-p030ne Notebook PC and after installing windows 8.1, my wireless is not working properly. The problem is that my PC is only connected to the wifi device when it is placed just right infront of the device (Even at that point, it shows only two signals of wifi). Otherwise, when i move a little bit farther from the wifi device, it is disconnected and at the same time, all other laptops of my friends are working properly at a point which is  little bit away from the wifi router/device.  Please help me as this situation is very hectic for me. Regards

No Solution but.........same boat
There is something between OS 10.9 and the wireless printing environment.  Lots of post on both Apple and HP sights with no fix......Many of us have done all of the items you have done and end up at the same power up and power down solution set.
I can verify that I am running a macbook on 10.6 and having no issues with my Lasderjet 1320nw.  I have trouble shot this from multiple angles and are reasonably sure that the drivers need to be updated to the 10.9 environmnet which is way about our pay grades.  HP indicates all drivers are included in the upgrade but they don't work.  Reloading all the driver package has no long term effect.  The secret i believe rest in holding the" ip lease" connectivity in the volatile wireless world of connectivity.  
Here's hoping HP and Apple get together on this one

  • Satellite L500 and issues with wireless connection

    Hello people
    Ill just throw my problem out there.
    First of all my details and info which may help you help me!
    Satellite L500 running windows 7 (note: same issues when Vista was installed)
    Latest wireless drivers as well as latest drivers for everything else.
    My wireless router is a billion voip enabled router 7000 series its quite a good one for when I got it about 2 yrs ago and works fine.
    Basically the problem is the wireless on my Satellite L500 keeps dropping out. Im no more than 20m away at most, right now Im 10m away with 1 wall in the way. I tried to get to a website and it says connection dropped out or unable to find host.
    However the other laptops in the same room same spot at the same time has no issues at all. Never has.
    As soon as I go into the same room as my router it works again. Sometimes works if I just stand on the opposite wall.
    So basically Im thinking my wireless card in my laptop is either faulty or just no good?
    Can u replace the wireless card with a different one? Maybe the Toshiba ones are just no good? Ive read so many problems with these wireless cards in Toshibas...
    Anyone have any ideas? Have I missed any info u need? Ill repost again in a day or so with the types of wireless devices in each laptop.

    Hi
    At the moment I doubt that your WLAN card is faulty. Before you exchange it you should also update your BIOS and not only the WLAN card driver. Both updates you should download from the Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
    I had a similar issue with my Toshiba notebook and WLAN connection. The problem was the WLAN power saving mode in Windows Power Management. There you can also choose a power saving mode for the WLAN card. Disable it and choose Maximum Performance.

  • Latest Maverick update issues for wireless connection

    I just did the update and now my wireless network won't connect and my mouse is skipping around some. Anyone having this problem and if so, how do you correct it?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Wireless issues continue after the (I assume 10.9.2. update).
    There are a variety of actions that seem to help for different users... AFAIK no "sure fire" fix. You don't have to try them all at once. Try a few things and see if there's any change.

  • Sporadic issues with wireless connection (dhcpcd times out)

    I'm using a wireless usb adaptor Dlink DWA 110 (chipset rt73). It can connect fine some times, but many times it times out on dhcpcd. Raising the time out time causes it to hold indefinitely on the message "offered 192.168.0.132 from 192.168.0.1". Analyzing the dmesg, I see

    I've tried googling, but no suggestion seems to work. Any help?

    This is basically a workaround, but still. You can try hold_connect script to automatically watch connection status. It can be found here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103139. Just add "iwconfig wlan0 power off" string in function connect under "sudo netcfg down ..." line.

  • Dropping wireless connection with Apple Wireless Keyboard

    I've got a new bluetooth chip in my iMac from support at my location, a new wireless keyboard and I'm still having issues. Wireless connection dropped 6 times typing this one sentence. Aaargh. I've been busy with this ever since I bought the computer. On irregular intervals (absolutely no regularity whatsoever) the computer loses connection with my Apple Wireless Keyboard. So if I have a new iMac, with a new bluetooth chip and a new keyboard how come this issue is still an issue? It's driving me mad. And possibly the guys at the centre as well.

    Hi mvoltage
    Do you have any appliances with motors or other mobil telephone devices setup near the iMac?
    Both motor flux fields and Cordless Phone Base Stations can and will interfere with the operation of the iMac's wifi and airport signals.

  • How can I resolve the issues connecting to my wireless connection with my Apple tv?

         Ive had my Apple tv for about a month now & I still have not even used it for what I actually got it for. It allows me to use the airplay feature with my ipad2. But when I try to use the home sharing feature it never connects with my apple ID. At first I thought that maybe I'm just typing it the wrong way, but then I used the same ID and password to purchase an app on my iphone & it works. It's not my wireless connection because multiple devices connect to it just fine, without any issues. I tried reseting it, that obviously didnt work. I really just dont know what else to do.

    you can't rely on airplay mirror some apps support the old in app airtune audio only option if the video app in question does you can do it from the apps settings somehow
    if not then you need a airport express which does pretty much what airplay mirror on the Apple TV does but it's a audio only

  • WRT54G No longer available as Wireless Connection, Cat5 connect without issue

    Without changing a single setting I can only appear to go wireless on the neighbors unsecured network OR plug in the old Cat5 leash.  My network no longer appears as an option when attempting to connect wireless.  It's consistent across two laptops.  Any ideas?

    This appears to be similiar to my problem.  The router worked fine via wired connections but the wireless connections failed.  The real problem was that the router was not issuing IP addresses to any clients connected via wireless.
    The clients recognized the router and connected utilizing WEP 128 bit encryption.  However, the DHCP in the router never issued an IP address thus no connection to the internet.
    As it turned out it appears to be related to the latest firmware update issued by Linksys.  In my case 201.13 for the WRT54G3G-ST sold by Sprint.  I ended up at one point with 2 routers from Spring and both of them had the same problem after upgrading the router firmaware.
    To get around the problem I had to perform a hard reset and restore the router to factory defaults.  I can change the router name without issue as long as the name is 8 characters or less.  I was utilizing the name of spiderweb and that causes the problem.  The client PC's would see spiderweb and connect but never got an IP address.  Also activating WEP in either 64 or 128 bit encryption causes the same problem so I am currently running the system in "open" mode.
    Hopefully the next firmware update release will have these issues addressed.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 wireless connectivity issues?

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 and It was working fine. I got a new router and it was still working fine. Second night of having everything set up it stops working and  shows as offline on my computer. It will print information about the printer from thecomputor but will not print out any other documents.

    I'm having the same issues. In my case, first I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X 10 Mavericks. A few days ago, the Actiontec gateway router provided by my ISP Frontier Communications ceased to function. Frontier sent a Netgear 7550 gateway router to replace it. I installed it according to directions. My email capability and home network went down. Frontier helped to restore the email but the techs I worked with couldn't figure out what to do to restore my wireless network. The router's setup would not allow me to replace the WPA Shared Key with the wireless network password I used previously. So, I updated the ASUS range extender and all the wireless devices that were on my home network with the new WPA key. Both printers, the Officejet Pro 8500A 910 and a Brother wireless laser, will not network. The Officejet blue wireless icon no longer lights up. I uninstalled the Officejet's software and then downloaded and installed the latest software and drivers for the Officejet Pro 8500A 910.  The HP  Network Configuration printout indicates that its network status is ready and the active connection type is wireless. I had it connected to my Mac with a USB cable so I could reinstall the software and drivers. When I disconnected the cable, I lost connection to the Officejet and couldn't print. the HP utility could not establish a wireless connection even though I did input all the new router settings. The Officejet thinks it's wireless but it isn't. I can only conclude that my Officjet is delusional. It's not all that old, but could it be ready for the all-in-one graveyard?

  • HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-O​ne Wireless connection issue.

    We are using the HP 6600 now for 6 months and sice a few weeks we have some issues with the printer.
    situation:
    1 - HP 6600 printer
    1 - Wireless Router
    3 - Computers connected to the router
    What we did:
    Updated the firmware
    Manual IP
    Put channel from router to 11
    Put it closer to the router (1 meter instead of 3)
    HP docter, everything is fine (if connection is lost, answer "No network connection to your device"
    But all above is not the solution.
    When the printer is offline we just switch it off and on and it will work again for a couple of hours. It looks that the connection is lost when it is going to sleep/hybernate.
    Also one of my customers has exactly the same problem, also did all above and didnt fix anything. This question is for me quite urgent because i am going on holidays in 2 days, my father in LAW cannot work without the printer and is getting upset this all this.
    Any advices?

    Arjan_NL
    If I understand you correctly the printers blue light is flashing and you cannot see your printer on the network. I recommend that you reset the network defaults to factory settings on the printer.
    To reset the network defaults
    -touch Setup Menu
    -touch Network
    -touch Restore Network Defaults
    Then use the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to the network.
    To run wireless setup
    -touch Setup
    -touch Network
    -touch Wireless Setup Wizard
    follow the on screen instructions to set the printer up on the network. You will need the WPA password or security key for the router to do this.
    Follow the steps in this document Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection to set a static IP address for the printer. This should help you maintain a better wireless connection.
    Keep me posted and let me know if you need further assistance.

  • Dear Steve, will anything be done about this wireless connectivity issue?

    This is no fun whatsoever....
    I am telling you - browsing interenet on iMac is no fun, seriously.
    I prepared a quick research for you:

    People, help me in refining this list - did I leave something out?
    P.S. I was thinking lately, why, after spending so much money, should I spend several days already, in agregate, trying to understand the issue and how it should be resolved? Have I not paid for not having such problems?

    Here is a lot more:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/wirelessnetworking/topic4035.html
    Highly interesting is the post of J.Exby which i reproduce here:
    For months I've not been alone in holding to the notion that the airport client software on Mac OS X 10.4.x has been problematic and unstable in certain (noisy, crowded, channel overlapped) wireless environments. Issues littered around the Internet Mac forums include problems of networks appearing, then disappearing. This is a difficult problem to pin down, given the difficulty of reproducing the conditions that might cause wireless network dropouts.
    A major symptom of the problem was seeing the constant messages of:
    "An error occurred joining the AirPort network" (Try Again) (Cancel)
    when attempting to connect to a wireless network, despite that network being seen, having correct security settings, etc.
    Various temporary fixes/ideas floated around the mac community have included:
    - reseting pram, nvram and PMU
    - installing 10.4 from scratch, instead of 10.3 to 10.4 upgrade process
    - Repairing permissions, run Combo updaters, etc
    - putting system to sleep or reboot for temporary connection fix
    - applying AirPort 2005-001 patch (or not)
    - upgrading (or downgrading!) AirPort basestation firmware
    - changing AirPort channels
    - enabled (or disabling) Interference Robustness
    - disabling Bluetooth and BT peripherals
    - removing WEP/WPA passwords out of Keychain
    - running Keychain First Aid on user/login keychains
    - buying new AirPort extreme cards
    - replacing AirPort base stations with other vendor hardware, etc.
    With the stability of our Windows XP clients now (after driver updates) and the change from Apple base stations to Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router having no appreciable benefit for our Mac notebooks, the OS X AirPort client software suspicions only grew.
    During troubleshooting I always have
    Applications--->Utilities--->Console
    and
    iStumbler (96)
    running, and I watch output as wireless scans are performed.
    From the Terminal I also run:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport -s
    and usually see constant
    AirPortScanner WirelessScan error -2013261821 airpInternalErr
    messages.
    After two days of testing (and fixing?) I am even more convinced there are bugs in the powerpc 10.4.x AirPort Extreme Framework!
    This is what I found:
    Environment at our office:
    - wireless Network A (802.11g channel 1, WPA personal)
    - wireless Network B (802.11b channel 6, WEP 40bit ascii)
    - wireless Network C (802.11g channel 11, WPA personal)
    (WAR-marching around our office exterior shows at least 12 outside wireless networks found at various signal strengths!)
    Test systems used:
    - iBook G4 (10.3.x and 10.4.5)
    - Powerbook G4 (10.4.5)
    - Intel iMac (10.4.5)
    Primary symptom on iBook: networks not displaying long enough under the AirPort icon/menu (or Internet Connect) to connect to ANY network reliably! Perhaps connect to Network A intermittently, never even see Network C.
    iStumbler showing some networks respond to poll, then immediately stagnate/disappear.
    Primary symptom on Powerbook: stable connections to Network C most times, difficulty "switching" to Network B or A once moving closer to source. Usually stable "seeing" networks via AirPort menu icon, but still have occasional dropouts (due to fluctuating signal strength or interference?).
    Primary symptom on Intel iMac: NO PROBLEMS! Can connect to (and steadily "see") all valid Networks A, B, C !
    iStumbler constantly polls all available networks, with no dropouts.
    Steps taken:
    1. Wipe iBook hard drive, install 10.3 from dvd. AirPort signals unreliable.
    1a. Perform all 10.3.x Software updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
    2. Reset PRAM, nvram, PMU. no improvements.
    3. Reseat AirPort Extreme card, ensure antenna is firmly plugged in. AirPort still unreliable.
    4. Wipe iBook, install 10.4.3 "fresh" from Full retail version DVD. AirPort still unreliable.
    4a. Perform all 10.4.5 Software (combo) updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
    5. Hold down the Option key, and click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar.
    select About AirPort...
    pay particular attention to each system showing:
    iBook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
    powerbook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
    intel iMac: AirPort Framework 426.1.0
    Aha! A big difference with the AirPort Framework component version on the Intel iMac!
    6. So, using the Terminal let's get this newer Apple80211.framework onto the iBook.
    First on the intel iMac:
    cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
    sudo tar cf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar Apple80211.framework
    Copy this intelApple80211frame.tar file onto a USB thumb drive, CDR, iPod, scp, etc. to copy it onto the iBook (home directory).
    7. With the tar file copied into the home area on the iBook, turn off iBook's AirPort via the menubar icon.
    Now launch Terminal and:
    mkdir backup-framework
    cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
    sudo mv Apple80211.framework ~/backup-framework/
    sudo tar xvpf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar
    Launch Disk Utility, Repair Permissions on boot drive.
    Reboot iBook.
    8. Turn Airport on via the menubar icon.
    iBook now has HUGE improvements in wireless connectivity! It can "see" all Networks A, B, C reliably and can connect to any of them when in range (having enough signal strength). Switching between networks is successful 90% of the time. Occasional message of:
    "An error occurred joining the AirPort network (Try Again) (Cancel)"
    usually works after clicking (Try Again), whereas before Try Again almost always failed.
    I am unsure how this newer Apple80211.framework will affect future Software Updates on the iBook, but frankly I could care less now that it's able to access all of our wireless networks!
    I am unsure if this is the magic-bullet solution for a majority of people, but I'm stunned that Apple appears to be providing new and improved Apple80211.framework software with the intel iMacs, but many of us have been fighting AirPort problems on PowerPC platforms for months!
    Come on Apple, OS X 10.4.5 should contain the SAME software component versions for ALL CPU platforms!

  • Virgin Broadband wireless connection issues

    Hi guys,
    I have setup a wireless network in my house and have a virgin broadband optical router. I have connected a belkin wireless access point to this router.
    The problem is that my macbook pro refuses to connect to the network. I had this issue when trying to connect via ethernet as well. I cannot seem to get anything to work. I have tried DHCP, DHCP manual, manual connections, with DNS, without DNS, there doesn't seem to be anything that works right now.
    I get four green lights when I run the Network Diagnostics application and cannot get it to budge past that.
    Any thoughts?

    Hey BDAqua,
    Thanks for the welcome. Nice to know someone cares!
    I don't think it is an IP issue as both connect to the WLAN fine and have the address 192.168.2.xxx for each machine. The Wireless Access Point is seperate to the router so there'll be two IP addresses surely?
    As I stated in the initial message I have tried using the DNS settings of the connecting laptop with the one that doesn't connect and it didn't make any difference.
    I've tried to find out the IP address that the router is using but to no avail. Netstat gave me diddly.
    I think it is a connection protocol mismatch which is really annoying.
    Any thoughts on how to find out the router's IP address? That could be a start no?
    Cheers
    Charlie

  • Various wireless connection issue

    Hi, i am Drei. one of the technical support of HP for Mac computers / OS  Let's name the routers that have issues with the connection or even declining the printer to gain connectivity to it 1. Xfinity from comcast2. Arris from time warner3. Linksys, either a personal router (w/ smart access)4. Hitron technologies from canada ISP's Let's begin with xfinity router You have the get the router's IP address first ex: 10.0.0.1 (for mac this is under the network preferences under the advance and TCP/IP tab) Username : adminPassword : password 1. Access the GUI (Graphical user interface) of the router using whatever web browser you have2. Get to the "Gateway"3. Click "Connection"4. Click "WIFI"                Note: You have to check if you see something that says 2.4GHz and 5GHz If does, your router is a dual band router and you will need to change the SSID of the 5GHz to separate the mix band / Frequency in the radio radius.   How to change it? Click the "edit" on the 5GHz channel / Freq Then add other characters on the SSID ex. SSID : "HPTechDrei" to "HPTechDrei-5GHz"Then look for the option that says "SAVE" or "Apply" (This doesnt apply on XFINITY alone, it also applies to the entire routers with dual band capabilities)     If you have a single band router which only has a 2.4GHz freq (XFINITY), Just make sure that the router is on AUTO Channel not on 1, 2,3,4, etc. Why? this is to NOT to exhaust the router and to avoid any problems (in a long period of time)   Next step: Go to "GATEWAY" again and select "FIREWALL" and select "CUSTOM" and again save the settings or apply the settings       Note: Do not put any CHECKS on the check box  Let's move on to the next step: Let's make this short, Bottom line is to get to the wireless settings of the printer and select "RESTORE NETWORK DEFAULTS" (This applies for printers that have front panel guides) This is the time you either connect the printer in so many ways such as via Auto wireless connect using HP utility, USB SOW using USB cable and HP Utility, Stand alone Wireless setup Wizard, or the advance part via Ad-HOC and accessing the Embedded web server of the Printer (Same as a router GUI) Last is just to readd the printer under the system preferrence for Mac  This is it for now. XFINITY Business router, it has a different method to make the printer connected or even for the Mac to see the printer in the NETWORK  If you have problems you can call 1800-474-6836 to get help (You are lucky enough if the agent who gets your call is knowledgeable about router access and configs), if i am available on the floor to help the agent who has gotten your call or email me at [email protected] As much as i want to put all of the tips and tricks here for the router configuration, it would take me days to write it all down. Cheers mates

    Steve,
    Thanks for the quick reply. I have checked the logs on all our devices with AP's connected and found no reference to BPDU/STP messages. Is there a better method to discover a loop situation as this event happened on 12/4, last Thursday.
    My understanding is that since we use a WLC the ports that the AP's are plugged into should have this configuration: 
    interface GigabitEthernet0/1
     description Wireless Access Point
     switchport access vlan XX
     switchport mode access
     mls qos trust dscp
     spanning-tree portfast
    However, I just started a project to refresh our access devices and review configs. I found that some people recommend a config like this:
    interface GigabitEthernet0/1
     description WAP
     switchport access vlan XX
     switchport mode access
     mls qos trust dscp
     spanning-tree portfast
     spanning-tree bpduguard enable
    Wouldn't using the second port config allow me to identify the problem AP and prevent a potential loop being created due to the port being placed in an err-disabled state upon receipt of a BPDU message?
    Could the bridge between the wireless and wired network be caused by a laptop being connected to the wired and wireless networks at the same time? That is a likely scenario here as we have dozens of laptop users in our client base. Any other scenarios that might result in this situation?
    Thanks again.

  • Wireless connection issue, new HH2.0A

    Hi again everyone.
    We've recently upgraded to 'up to 20Mb' BB option 3 and got sent a new HH2.0A to go with it after being on the 1.5 for a few years but i seem to be having trouble with a secondary PC connecting by wireless.
    The other PC is using a BT Voyager 1055 wireless dongle to connect, but it seems that the first time it connects after being turned off, it can't aquire an IP address so we have to keep repairing the connection until it picks one up, then it works fine until it's turned on again the next day.
    I've tried setting the HH to give it a static IP address but the problem still happens.  I've noticed the dongle utility says it's using WPA-PSK security whereas that isn't an option on the HH security page, only 'WPA' or 'WPA & WPA2'.  Would that be causing the issue do you think?
    I'm reluctant to change any hub settings too much as we are still within our 10 day line testing period and aren't up to full speed yet.
    Thanks in advance for any help on this issue

    Hi, thanks for the reply.
    Yes, deleting the old connection was the first thing I tried but it didn't work.  I'm going to try totally reinstalling the 1055 utility from the disk next I think.
    I didn't even check the BTFon thing but the hub page says it's active so I guess it is transmitting.  Would this have any effect on the problem or on my speeds as a whole?
    I'm not sure if reinstalling will solve this, but go for it
    If it says active, then you're part of BTFon - this will use a max' 512Kbps or your total speed when someone connects to it
    It shouldn't affect your wireless connection

  • 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.
