List of available wireless networks

How do I see this list?
thanks.

Greetings schmoel....if I may suggest this forum...since you work with an iMac G5 and are asking a networking question...perhaps better served there

Cant see available wireless networks?

I have two laptops sitting side by side. My computer sees all the available wireless networks broadcasting within range (including my BEFW11S4 4-wired, wireless router). My daughter just turned on her computer for the first time and we are not seeing any "available wireless networks" in range...refresh list doesn't help.
Is there some setting in the computer that I must enable to get her computer to see the wireless networks in range?
thx.

sorry....hit the wrong key and it submitted before finishing....
1. Have linked my daughters computer to WEP enabled wireless signal from Linksys router....that is the good news.
2. bad news is that I still don't see the signal listed on the "view available wireless networks list." The message in the window says:
"Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to manage this wireless connection, use that software. If you want Windows to configure this wireless connection, start the Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) service. For information about starting the WZC service, see article 871122 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base on the microsoft.com Web site."
I did disable the Windows Firewall and the Norton Firewall as you instructed.
The wireless card is the "802.11g Mini Card Wireless Adapter"
So, my only problem existing on my daughters computer now is that one can't see the wireless signals in range as the "view available wireless networks" list doesn't display anything. However, she is able to connect at free WiFi in town, is now able to connect to my WEP enabled signal in the house.....that is good.
just one last thing to fix and we will be golden....but I don't know what to try next....
And I just clicked my wireless icon to display networks in range and found 3: 1. my WEP enabled network-Connected; 2. Linksys from a neighbor in range that is not protected and is available to link to...; and 3. A computer-to-computer signal probably from both of these computers sitting on the desk next to each other....
any suggestions on what to try next???
thx. greg

How can I view all available wireless networks?

So, I recently set up a new wireless network at home. Living in an apartment building means there are lots of other wireless networks floating around, none of which I have any interest in joining. Unfortunately, my phone will only list five or six available networks, with my new network not included. I can't "forget" any of the other networks, as I have never connected to them, and attempting to enter my network and password fails.
Thus, I need to either 1) view every single available network, or 2) find a way to get rid of the networks I'm not interested in

Please link to an example of a page you're having problems with. It should be accessible without a login.

Is there a way to check the strength of available wireless networks from LabVIEW?

I am developing a LabVIEW application that will be used on a large
wireless network and would like to be able to monitor my wireless
signal strength from LabVIEW, similar to the Wireless Network
Connection control panel in Windows XP. Does anyone know of any
.dll or some Windows API call that I could use from LabVIEW to do
this?
Thanks in advance.

There might well be a .NET assembly that addresses this as well. I don't have a wireless card or any wireless drivers installed, so I can't find anything on my machine. Probably the best place to check is www.msdn.com. Best of luck!

Can see all available wireless networks

When I used tiger, if I went to work, there were usually around half a dozen free wireless access points nearby by to use, and they were all visable when I selected the wireless icon near the time at the top right corner of my screen, and if one got weaker, then I'd jump on another. Since I upgraded to leopard, my leopard settings only recognise one of the places while the other places are not visable under the wireless icon thing (at the top right of my screen), not even the numerous locked ones. If I grab my bosses macbook and put it next to my macbook, (she has tiger still), and we each grab the default wireless, we can both surf, yet she has all the other free wireless places visable while I don't. I want my mac to show all of them all of the time. How can I do this. Sorry if this is such an easy question but I've been fiddling for ages and still, my mac only remembers one of them. Please help.

When you installed Leopard did you choose to upgrade ontop of your Tiger installation or did you do an erase install (clean install)?

Can't see airport express in available wireless networks

Looking for assitance in setting up airport express with existing wep encriped linksys router.

There are two options:
1. Create the second profile while on your own network. When you get ready to move the Express, select the profile before disconnecting it from the network.
2. Perform a hard reset on the Express and reconfigure it once you get to your friend's house. If you've already created the profile, you can select the profile after the reset.

Don't see airport in available wireless networks

I got a new internet service, Qwest DSL. I got a new modem router from them and the computer hookup was easy. When I tried to get my airports back up my computer could not see the airport signal at all. Airport Utility only says, Rescan? I am using a dell running vista. Any hints would be appreciated.

Temporarily, move the AirPort Express near your computer and connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the Express. That will normally allow AirPort Utility to "see" the AirPort Express so you can check the configuration settings.
If no luck at first, restart both the computer and the AirPort Express.
If still no luck, you will need to reset the AirPort Express back to factory default settings and then start over on the configuration. To do this:
Power down the AirPort Express
Hold in the reset button and while you continue to hold the reset button in, plug the Express back in to power
Release the reset button after 8-10 seconds

How to Connect a USB-to-Wireless printer to a Wireless Network without a PC

Some printers from HP do not have a Wireless Setup Wizard built into the front panel for connecting to a network. These models install to a computer through a USB connection and the software then sends the wireless information across the USB cable to the printer. However, you may not always have a computer present and still need to connect these printers to a wireless network. You can use a wireless device, such as an iPad, to do this. For the example below I have used an iPad and a Deskjet 3510 series printer.
The first step is to make sure your printer is broadcasting a network (Ad-Hoc). To do this, turn the printer on and press the wireless button or turn wireless off, then on in the Setup menu. Connect the iPad (or other wireless device) to the wireless signal being broadcast by the printer.
Once the iPad is connected to the printer as a network connection, open the Web Browser on the iPad. Type 192.168.223.1 in the address bar and go to that site. The printer's status page should load and look similar to the image below.
Click on the Network tab at the top of the Status page. You may get a prompt warning about being redirected to an HTTPS site. Click Ok on the message box to continue. When you click OK, you may get a warning regarding the certificate or server identity. Select the option that lets you continue. The wording will vary from browser to browser, but there should be an option to continue anyway.
Network status page should now be loaded at this point. Select Wireless Setup Wizard to start the wireless network setup and click Next.
When next is selected, it should list the available wireless networks. Select your network from this list and select next. When the network is selected, it should be highlighted.
Enter the network’s password, if any, and select next.
A message should be received indicating the name and if security is enabled. The message below that should indicate the settings were saved successfully. If it says the settings were saved successfully with an error, the network setup is more than likely functioning. Select Ok at the bottom.
After selecting OK, select Status to verify the printer is connected successfully. It may take a few minutes for the wireless light on the printer to stop flashing. Once it is a solid blue, the printer should be on the network and functioning.
Once this is completed, then you will be able to reconnect to your normal wireless signal (Wireless Router) for internet access. Now both the iPad and printer are on the same Home Network.

Home wireless network trouble

I got a new wireless router, Netgear WPN824 from Newegg, a refurbished product. I set up a home wireless network using the online manual on the Netgear website. The router works well for the wired setup. But I could not connect to wireless.
My wireless network shows up on the list of available wireless networks. I can connect to other wireless networks such as that of my neighbour's. I tried connecting to my network using both unsecured and secure WEP / WPA modes. Except once, I could never connect. That one time, as soon as I could connect and verify that I was indeed connected I thought the problem was resolved and so shutdown my system to see if i could connect again - alas, same trouble again. I use NetworkManager to connect, and here's the output for two networks - jaydoc which is my home network, and linksys, that of my neighbour's to which i can always connect.

Is the wireless router i got a dud, being refurbished i took my chances and maybe i wasn't so lucky..! Or is it something wrong in my network settings..? I tried shutting down everything and then turning the modem, then the router and finally the PC without the ethernet cable connected. Still I am unable to connect.
Any help is deeply appreciated. I am a total newbie in networking...!

So if its still a DHCP problem, it seems to be affecting only the wireless part. How can I make wireless use the same DHCP servers as the wired..? Or is there something else wrong here..?

Really messed up my wireless network

I was trying to secure my wireless network and I made the SSID hidden so that it doesn't show up on the list of available wireless networks and now I cant figure out how to connect to it. Any advice?

You can't downgrade easily unless you made a backup prior to your upgrade. My suggestion is to isolate what is causing your wireless networking issues. As I found out, creating a new location in the Network System Preferences helped isolate my wireless issues. Here's the thread where I solved that issue, and maybe my method pertains to yours:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=313041&tstart=0
In addition ensure both the base station firmware and Airport software are up to date:

Use the About Airport Window (from the Airport menu) in the Airport Admin Utility to verify you don't need this update:

WVC210 Camera selects wrong wireless network ... How to select wireless network? (multiple networks)

I have a WVC210 camera that works fine wired.
But I can not use it wirelessly, because on startup it connects to the wrong wireless network. All of my neighbors have wireless networks, so there are six wireless networks within range of the camera, it is therefore not suprising that the camera might select the wrong one first.
So.. how do I specify the wireless network that I want my camera to connect to?
I have tried various experiments, such as disabling all security on my wirless networks, but the WVC210 camera still selects the wrong wireless network.
I can tell that it is going to the wrong network, because after DHCP completes on my camera, the resolved IP is not from the subnet of the wireless network in my house.
For comparison, I found the PDF for a Linksys WVC54GCA it is possible to select from all available wireless networks... But I can't find a way with my WVC210 to select from all available wireless networks and stop the WVC210 from defaulting to the wrong wireless network.
Is there a way to list the available wireless networks and specify a chosen wireless network with the WVC210
For reference search for "select wireless" in the following PDF to see how this is acomplished with the Linksys Wireless G camera:
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?blobcol=urldata&blobheadername1=Content-Type&blobheadername...
What is the equivalent technique for the WVC210?

Hi,
I bought linksys wireless ip camera wvc210 four years back. I lost camera installation CD. I tried to search it on internet but failed. Can you send me the link from where I can download or email me at [email protected]

Need help here! I'm out of options. Computer can't see the wireless network

Sorry for the novel, but I have to tell you what is going on with my computer. I also need to vent because I’m extremely frustrated. I want to make sure I give as much info as I can we can get this fixed. I’m done with trying to figure this out on my own!!!
I’m having a major issue with the wireless network connection on my desktop. I’ve tried everything and I can’t figure out what it’s doing.
First of all, my wireless router is set up correctly (according to the Sticky), has active security, and works fine. It has nothing to do with the router. I’m sure of it.
Here’s a quick history:
When I was at my first residence in Chicago and bought a Linksys wireless N router in May 2008. My computer was about 30 feet away from the router and everything worked fine. Always found the router and never lost connection.
I moved to a new place in September 2008 and used the same router, computer, etc. at my new place. The computer was only about 7 feet away from the router this time, but I used the wireless connection instead so I wouldn’t have a network cable lying across the floor. At first everything worked fine. No issues. Then, one day out of the blue, my desktop lost connection with the router. My router didn’t even appear as an Available Wireless Network. I rebooted everything and that seemed to fix it. OK, issue fixed, right? Wrong. It did it again the next day. I rebooted everything, but it still couldn’t find my router. It did see lots of other wireless routers in the area though so I know the wireless card was working. It just didn’t see my router.
This went on for a while. Sometimes it would see my router and connect then it would lose it again. I thought maybe it was the router going bad. Well, I have a notebook computer too so I tried it. It has found my router every time and has never lost connection. I had it sitting on top of my desktop even to see if there was some sort of dead spot in my condo, but the notebook found my router just fine.
Sometimes my desktop would see my router, but it wouldn’t be my network name. It would call it “Home” or something. I know it was my network because it was the only network with maximum (Excellent) signal strength. I’m thinking it must be some sort of association issue. For some reason it doesn’t associate my router as an available network. I don’t understand that.
I tried everything: Ad Aware, Live OneCare, registry cleaners, driver updates, restore points, pretty much anything I found in the forums. Nothing worked for long if at all. It’s like my desktop only finds my router when it wants to. Note: The only thing that would work sometimes was if I clicked “Repair.” Sometimes that would work. I finally gave up and connected my desktop via network cable and unhooked my wireless card. I never lost connection as long as it was hard-wired.
The drama continues. I recently moved to Iowa and set up my network here. I’m using the same router, same desktop and wireless card, same notebook computer, etc. I went ahead and tried the wireless card on my desktop again. It worked just fine! No connection issues at all. It connected and stayed connected. I thought, “Well, that’s strange. It must have been something with the condo in Chicago. Oh well!” It worked fine from February 5 until March 10. Now it’s doing it again!!!! The notebook is about 3 feet away and sees the router just fine.
Here are the facts:
I’m using a Linksys WRT300N Wireless-N router.
I’m using a Linksys Wireless-N PCI WMP300N Adapter (about 18 months old).
I’m running Windows XP on the custom built desktop and Windows Vista on the HP notebook.
I built this computer about 5 years ago and have not done any major upgrades for 2-3 years. The only thing I added was the wireless card. I also changed out the HD in January 2009 and did a data migration right before I moved to Iowa in February. All of the networking issues were going on well before I did the data migration though so it has nothing to do with that. In fact, I had my computer hard-wired into my router at the time of the data migration and the wireless worked fine (for a little while) after I moved to Iowa. So if anything, the data migration seemed to help with my wireless connection.
All drivers are up to date.
Using Windows Live OneCare and have run complete scan: nothing found.
Using Ad Aware and have run complete scan: only found cookies and deleted them but didn’t fix issue.
Ran WinsockxpFix but that didn’t help.
Ran TweakNow RegCleaner Standard but that didn’t help.
Right-clicking the wireless icon, I try to view Available Wireless Networks. The window comes up and shows me other wireless networks in the area (2 available right now), but doesn’t show my network at all. I click “Refresh network list” and 1 or 2 of the other networks will come up, but mine is still not shown.
I’ve clicked “Repair” and get this message: “Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed: Connecting to the wireless network.”
If I go to Control Panel, there is a Wireless Configuration Utility program from Broadcom. When I open that here is what I find:
It is not managing my wireless networks.
Under the “Wireless Networks” tab I see my Network with an “X” over the router icon to the left of it and a locked security icon to the right of it.
No information under the “Link Status” or “Statistics” tabs.
The “Site Monitor” tab shows my wireless network and the other 2 networks in the area (although they drop in and out because of signal strength). My network is always present even though the signal strength bounces up and down. This tab shows that my network is secure, 802.11 is g and n, speed is 270 mbps, Channel is 9, and Signal bounces from orange/red to green. Data encryption is (m)TKIP, TKIP, WPA-PSK.
I was going to use my notebook to post this message since it has been connected for 2 days without ever losing connection. It shows Very Good signal strength and is about 3 feet away from my desktop.
Update: My desktop just connected to my network after sitting there for 2 hours. Good to Very Good signal. Broadcom tool shows the connection and now has information in the Link Status and Statistics tabs.
Cancel that. It just lost connection again. It was only connected for about 5 minutes. There is no change in signal strength according to Broadcom though. In fact, Broadcom shows better signal now that I lost connection.
Now, it just connected again (on its own) after sitting there for 10 minutes! I’ve been surfing the web on my desktop for 45 minutes now and I’m using my desktop to post this message. What the heck?!!! This is what it’s like. Aggravating huh?
Well, that’s all I can think to write. What else do you need? Can anybody help me with this?
I’m confused. Please help!
Thanks a lot!!!
Jake

Thanks but it's just my desktop that doesn't see it though. My notebook sees it everytime, even at the same exact time that my desktop doesn't see it. For example yesterday when I was typing up this post, I was typing up the post on my notebook because my desktop didn't see the router. I don't think it has anything to do with the router actually, but I wanted to see if anyone on here has encountered this issue before. Other forums have similar issues but I've tried all of the fixes I found elsewhere and they didn't work.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

[SOLVED] NetworkManager taking long time to show available wireless

I've been using Arch since May. I never had any problems connecting to wifi--my laptop has always connected automatically to my home wireless network within a few seconds of booting to my desktop. I use Network Manager, with the network-manager-applet on my panel.
All of a sudden, for no apparent reason, every time I boot now I cannot connect to the internet for several minutes: When I click on the panel applet there are no available wireless networks listed. It's only after several minutes (it varies slightly, usually after about 2 minutes) that available wireless networks finally show up in the applet.
The physical wifi switch on the laptop is securely in the "on" position. NetworkManager is running as soon as the system boots, and lsmod shows me that iwlwifi module is loaded. There are no errors in the journal. I haven't changed any network settings in a long time. Why is it suddenly taking NetworkManager several minutes to show me the available wireless networks after a reboot?
EDIT: During the time when I have no wireless networks available I get this:
eileen@vaio ~ $ nmcli general status
STATE CONNECTIVITY WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN
disconnected none enabled enabled enabled enabled
eileen@vaio ~ $ iwconfig # notice that wlp2s0 is not listed in the output!

eileen@vaio ~ $ nmcli dev connect wlp2s0
Error: Device 'wlp2s0' not found.
eileen@vaio ~ $ sudo ip link set wlp2s0 up
Cannot find device "wlp2s0"
After wireless networks finally show up in the applet, I get this:
eileen@vaio ~ $ nmcli general status
STATE CONNECTIVITY WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN

eileen@vaio ~ $ iwconfig
enp4s0 no wireless extensions.

Could the problem be that the kernel is taking a long time to detect my wireless card and designate it as wlp2s0 (which needs to happen before NetworkManager can do anything)? If so, how can I tell the kernel to prioritize looking for a wireless card when the system boots?

After I'm finally connected, dmesg gives me this:

Notice the firmware load failures at 15 and 75 seconds after boot, and the fact that it's not until 135 seconds that the firmware for the wireless card is finally loaded.
This suggests to me that the culprit is either the kernel (and/or its iwlwifi module) or the actual firmware. I will try different versions of these packages (linux, linux-lts, and linux-firmware) and will report back.

Wireless network disapears

I'm running a WRT150N.
About once a day or every other day my wireless network disapears.
The network just disapears from the available wireless network list.
The wired PC doesn't have any problem and doesn't appear to ever loose connection.
The only way to get it working is to unplug the power from the router and plug it back in.
Is there a more "permanant" solution?
Thanks for any help!
Mike

Model: WRT54GS
OPSYS Win 7 on a Dual quadHP Pavillion..It is only 3 months old. it runs beautifully, fast, dependable... no complaints EXCEPT THIS!
The secure connection is still in Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections but it has disapeared from the list of connections in the bottom right taskbar. how do I get it back. I have rebooted TOO many times to count and tried everything else including talking to my IP.. No one knows ANYTHING!,,,,GRRRR lol

Widely varying wireless network reception.

Hey there,
This is something which has only cropped up quite recently, having used my iBook wireless with no trouble with a Netgear router for a year and a half.
I seem to be developing a problem with seeing my own wireless network at home, whilst I can see (and join) a neighbour's unprotected network all the time. When I click repeatedly on the Airport signal indicator in the menubar, mine keeps coming and going all the time, and I can hardly ever actually join it successfully. But I'm thinking it's not a problem with the Airport Extreme card as I can see next door's signal all the time.
I hava a widget which shows all available wireless networks and their signal strengths, and when I load this, the list seems to constantly be changing with networks appearing and disappearing at random, mine included, but when it does show up, it always has much higher signal strength than the other networks.
Can anybody shed some light on this, as I'd love to actually be able to use my connection all the time.
Thanks.
iPod mini; iBook G4 14 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I've had the same problem, and usually unplugging the router and modem, waiting a few seconds, then plugging them back in seems to fix the problem. It happens to me every once in a while, so I do that each time. I figure it's my ISP, since I can pick up a signal on several other connections in the area.
