Linksys and wireless capabilities with Mac

Hey everybody. I recently started a new job and use wireless internet through my Mac. The problem is that when I try to connect to the linksys router that we have, I see the name and I know the right password but it either tells me it's the wrong password (which it isn't - or is there a way I can find out for sure what the password is??) or it gives me the error message. What can I do to get this thing working???
Thanks!
MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Some suggestions for you...
Try temporarily removing passwords and encryption from the router. Can you connect like that? Also if you plug an ethernet cable between the 2 do you have any success.
I'd also go onto the Linksys web site and have a look for any firmware updates for your router. Mine wouldn't work wirelessly until it was patched.

  • OK, I'm perplexed.  I've been a mac user for almost 30 years.  My entire ecosystem is Mac and I remained with mac through the dark 90s.  What apple has does in the past 2 years is unbelieveable.  I just upgraded to 10.86, then 10.9, no end of problems

    I can no longer mirror and of my monitors VGA or HDMI, my itunes which supplies iphone and ipad has disabled podcast app so that I can't listen to my favorite programs and I find out after the fact that Office software is not compatible with OSX 8.6.
    Forget about the fact that itunes looks like it was developed by a 1980s MS-DOS programmer.   Its kludgy, limited and generally does not work.
    What does one do?  Frankly, I used to use macs because they were like info appliances that just worked.  Now the time to manage tech glitches from the company has become way too costly.  Sadly, Apple has become Microsoft and Microsoft seems to become Apple.

    "... as do the users who are downloading recent OSXs in record numbers."
    USUALLY YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU DOWNLOAD UNTIL YOU HAVE IT !!!
    APPLE USED TO HAVE GREAT STUFF BUT OBVIOUSLY TRIES TO INVENT FOR THE SAKE OF INVENTING !!!
    THIS IS ACTUALLY A STEP BACKWARDS (TO MS).
    CALENDAR & CONTACTS SYNC VIA ICLOUD ONLY IS AN ABSOLUTE NO GO !!!
    @APPLE: FIX THIS ASAP !!!

  • Help with setting up wireless security with mac

    We have just set up a Linksys WRT54G on a pc, and it connects to the internet fine. the problem is, anyone can connect.
    I do not understand how to set up a password for this so no one can leach off my internet connection.
    I tried to put in a code but it didnt work.
    is there a step by step way to do this?

    FAQs are on the linksys support pages. For wireless security there are a few. One is here:
    http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=759
    However, I would not configure WEP as described there but WPA or better WPA2. New iMacs support WPA2. WEP can be cracked within a few minutes.
    If it still does not work, please post the exact settings you are using in your router (Wireless tab and Wireless Security tab) and the settings you are trying on your mac.

  • Is the Microsoft 5MH-00001 Wired Desktop 400 keyboard and mouse compatible with mac mini?

    Hello, is the Microsoft 5MH-00001 Wired Desktop 400 for Business mouse and keyboard compatible with the mac mini computer? I tried using a generic mouse and the lights of the mouse were on, but I could not click or move the mouse around. Then when I plugged in a dell keyboard, it said the "keyboard is not identified". I could press buttons on the keyboard, but they werent being registered by the mac. I also tried changing my mouse's usb to a different port, but still did not work. So I am worried that the microsoft wired mouse + keyboard I ordered might not work on my mac mini. Is there a way to get my old keyboard and mouse to work at least?

    Were these other ones you tried Wired also? If so that's really strange!?
    Did you try rebooting with them connected?
    I see no reason for the Microsoft 5MH-00001 Wired Desktop 400 for Business to not work, but then any wired Generic KB should work!???

  • How to configure use of Ethernet and wireless simultaneously, with different Windows´s?

    Hello friends,
    My network has two Win XP-laptops connected via ethernet to a Dovado-router, and from the Dovado-router another ethernet cable to a Win 7 PC.
    The Win 7 PC connects to the internet via a D-Link wireless network to my ISP wireless router Huawei E589.
    Problem: the PC refuses to work with both ethernet and wireless at the same time.
    I use the ethernet for tranferring vast amounts of graphical data (astronomy photographs at 3-4 GB each), and I can only access the internet through the wireless. Neither XP nor 7 wizards are able to fix it. Both networks were visable in Network Center,
    now only the wireless is available. Ethernet is gone.
    What do I do, to make it work?

    Hi,
    What's your purpose? My understanding is that you want Windows 7 PC wireless use internet and wired use Lan. If I am misunderstand please point me fault.
    For the situation you can do like this:
    1) Setting for your both routers. 
    Make sure both routers have different Router IP's and SUBNETS, you should try to set the subnet of Dovado-router to 255.255.255.252(this router should be used as local Lan, not connect to internet).
    Set the subnet of D-link to 255.255.255.0
    2) Setting For the LAN adapter. 
    Under the TCP/IP properties(Lan adapter),  please assign a unique IP address (which coincides with the subnet of Dovado-router ), set the subnet to 255.255.255.252 (or whatever you set it to Dovado-router). The very important things is that
    don't assign any GATEWAY to Lan adapter, leave it blank.
    3) Setting For the WIRELESS adapter.
    Under TCP/IP properties(wireless adapter), please assign a unique IP address (that coincides with the wireless router), set the subnet to 255.255.255.0 (or whatever the default is for the wireless router), and make sure to type gateway IP address ( D-link
    IP address).
    Now you can test if they are work normally.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards.

  • Mighty mouse usb and wireless issues with OSX 10.6.1

    Since upgrading to OSX 10.6.1 I have experienced intermittent mighty mouse issues with both the USB and wireless mouse. Essentially the mouse works as a pointer. However, I cannot select anything or use the mouse buttons. I need to re-start the machine in order to get it to work properly again. Anyone else had this issue or have suggestions for fixing it?

    Pushing the power button briefly on my iMac turns off the display and stops the hard drive running (both my internal and external drive). Pushing it briefly again brings everything back up in about 2 seconds - it's not a full startup. That's why I call it "sleep" - cause that's what it seems to be doing.

    Your wireless network will probably just work without any fiddling You could also launch your 'Airport set-up assistant' which should be in your Utilities Folder.

  • Wireless internet with mac and windows

    hi,
    I have a ibookG4 version 10.4.8 and i have a Windows XP computer with AT&T/AOL.
    I am trying to install wireless internet on my IbookG4. I purchase an AirPort Express Base Station (Model # A1084)and try to connect it to my G4 but it did not work.
    Is there something else I need to purchase?
    I appreciate any help/assistance.

    You may just need to turn on the AirPort card that is already in the iBook.

  • How do I connect my HP Laserjet 1102w directly to a Linksys AE3500 wireless router with USB option?

    I am trying to connect an HP Laserjet 1102w directly to an HP desktop model a172n with Windows Vista Home Premium OS (32 bit) through a new Linksys AE3500 dual band wireless router which has a USB port for a direct connection. The desktop can see the wireless router but not the printer.
    Is there a work around, a printer installer update, or some other solution that enables me to connect the desktop to the printer via the USB connection on the wireless router? I need to have one wireless laptop and one non-wireless desk computer able to use the one printer.
    Thanks for any assistance!

  • Using iPad and LogMein app with Mac Mini Server

    Hello everyone, I'm new to the community and I would like to ask your opinions on something I'm considering.
    I'm currently using a MacBook Air beyond its capabilities. I'm running a dual system via Parallels since some of my work programs are Windows based.
    I'm planning to pass the MacBook Air down to one of my employees but I'm stuck on what I will purchase to replace it.
    I like the new MacBook Pro, but I don't like the $2200+ price tag. So what I'm considering is buying a Mac Mini Server ($900) and setting it up in my office with a HDTV as a monitor because I use construction design programs and the laptop screen is just too small for large drawings. The Mac Mini also has 1TB storage vs 256GB on the MacPro. I already have an external disk drive so that's no issue either.
    Also, since I still need mobile convenience, I'm considering downloading the "LogMein Ignition" app ($130) and using this to log in remotely with my iPad for complete access to all of my files and programs.
    What are some pros and cons I should consider before making this move?
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    > If your server is behind NAT, there is almost certainly no need for packet filtering and you should disable it.
    I disagree, Linc. PF is very useful to block known bad IPs and brute force attacks, which are an hourly occurrence, especially on ssh. I use this PF configuration for OS X, which blocks brute force attacks, updates IP blocks from emergingthreats.net, and more. My logs and pf table "bruteforce" are full of attacks and blocked sites (sudo pfctl -t bruteforce -Ts). I also run snort on OS X and can see that the snort alert triggers are greatly reduced by simply blocking all these packets at the network layer.

  • How to use both wired and wireless connection with static addresses

    Now that I have setup my home network with static addresses (router, mini1, mini2 and PC) in the way I want, (big thanks to BDAqua http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1271635&tstart=0) I would like to understand some more advanced network concepts.
    I would like to change the network so that I use both the wireless connection and the built-in ethernet connection at the same time in my Mac mini1. I would like to connect my PC to my Mac mini by using the wired ethernet connection so that I reach the Internet from my PC as well. I would also like to be in control of all the addresses therefore I want to assign the addresses manually.
    The question: What addresses should I use between mini1 and PC? Should I use the same wireless address space as I already use between the wireless router and the other computers (router: 192.168.1.1, mini1: 192.168.1.101, mini2: 192.168.1.103) or should I use something totally different like 10.X.X.X? What should I put in ethernet connection "Router"-field, the same as in Airport (192.168.1.1)? What about DNS, same as in Airport?

    If I understand this correctly, you wish your Mini to perform Internet Sharing for your PC, correct!?
    If so you'll pretty much have to let the Mini handle DHCP & NAT on the Ethernet port. You also want to be sure Airport is dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations, that's what position the Mini will use 1st for Internet itself.
    On the Mini turn on both Web Sharing & Internet Sharing. The PC once connected will have the Mini's Ethernet IP as it's Gateway addy.
