Lost connection to wireless network on Mac Pro

My network infrastructure at home is as follows:
An Airport Extreme links to my DSL modem.
One Mac Pro is connected to the Airport Extreme via Ethernet.
One Airport Express extends the wireless network.
Another Mac Pro connects to the extended wireless network.
One Airport Express is used for Airtunes.
There are also a PS3 and an Xbox 360 in the wireless network.
Since this morning the "wireless" Mac Pro cannot see the wireless network anymore. I did not change any notwork settings and my wireless network is still saved as preferred network. Airport in OSX just cannot see it. However, I can see our neighbors' networks, so I assume Airport is working in the Mac. Upon login I get a dialog box prompting me to select a wireless network. My own network is not listed.
All Airport base stations have a green light and show up as working fine in the Airport Utility on the "wired" Mac.
When I use my iPod touch in the room with the "wireless" I can log into the wireless network without any problems. When I unplug the Airport Express station extending the network, the iPod's connection is much weaker or even breaks off. Thus I assume the network is fine and the base stations are indeed working properly.
I did not change anything in the hardware or software configuration. So I am flabbergasted as to what caused the loss of connectivity.
Any ideas, what I could try to get the "wireless" Mac connected again?
The pearls of wisdom from the Mac community are highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mustrum

I've spent some time with AppleCare on this issue. They had me trash some preferences files, then run the Disk Utility to "Repair Disk Permissions" on my hard drive. They said this should fix it if it's a software issue, but if not then it's an Airport hardware issue, and I should take my MacBook to the Apple Store for repair.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS
1 - Trash these prefs files from your Library:
- com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
- NetworkInterfaces.plist
- preferences.plist
2 - Restart computer.
3 - Go to your Network Preferences and define a new location. Then click on the little gear icon to "Set Service Order" and put Airport at the top. Click Apply.
4 - Open Disk Utility and select your hard drive. Click on the button that says "Repair Disk Permissions". You'll see some warnings etc.
This should work for both Tiger and Leopard. I upgraded over the weekend.

Can't connect to wireless network after Mac OS update

I just bought a mid-2007 Macbook (2x2 GHz, 2 Gb), which came with OS X 10.5.1 installed.
I connected to my wireless network (WPA2 Personal) without any problems and ran Software Update. This worked fine, including updating to 10.5.3.
But now I can no longer connect to the wireless network. It either times out when I enter the password, and/or crashes the Network Preferences.
I tried re-installing the system, but the installer said it couldn't install on this mac. That happened both with the 10.4.6 discs I got with the Macbook and with the 10.5 disk that came with my iMac.
Any suggestions?

Hi tankfield
Sandra has already addressed the reason why you can't use the wrong CD-ROM to re-install OS X.
However, the reason you had problems in the first place is that the 10.5.3 update contains some unacknowledged (by Apple) issues which cause flaky wireless connection. The same problem also appears on the latest update of Tiger. Apparently, not everyone is affected, but if you are then it's a real issue.
There appears to be no single solution, just several suggestions. Off the top of my head, these are:
- In your wireless router, switch off Mixed mode and only use G or N
- Change the wireless channel so it doesn't class with the neighbours router
- Don't use WEP encryption, only WPA or WPA2 (good advice anyway)
- Put AirPort first in Network Preferences, and your home network first in Preferred Networks
- Create a dummy location which is a clone of Automatic
.... and many more - none of which worked for me.
Finally, today I came upon this one which (so far) seems to be working.
- Start up Utilities/Terminal and type this command EXACTLY followed by return:
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0
(It will ask for your password)
In the unlikely event of this working for you, you will need to re-apply each time you reboot.
Good luck

Can I connect screen wireless to the Mac Pro?

Hello,
My name is Ben and I am a frequent Mac user.
I'm looking in to buying a new Mac Pro and I was wondering if it was possible to connect screens wireless? That way I would use the Mac Pro as an external server and instal my screens in different rooms throughout the house.
Thank you.
Dear regards,
Ben

I would like to setup the Mac Pro in one room with a screen attached to it with a cable. In an other room I would like to have just a screen that uses the Mac pro as computer and storage space.
I am talking about Apple 27' inch screens .

IPhone connects to wireless network but MacBook pro won't

All,
I have just relocated to Chicago from London and
my new apartment has wireless Internet through comcast and a linksys wireless router. My iPhone picked up the network straight away and I entered the password and all is good. On the macbook though I completed all the info (802.1x) it picks up the full signal but won't get on the Internet. Am I missing something here ? I wonder whether i need to do something else ? I have tried re booting just can't understand why iPhone works and macbook pro won't
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer
mark

Welcome to Chicago. Everything should be pretty much plug and play. Power everything down; modem, router, MBP. Then power up the modem, wait 30 seconds; power up the router, wait 30 seconds; power up your MBP. Select your network from the pull down list under the Airport icon. If you haven't set up the router at all it probably says linksys. Put in you password if you set one up. You may need to put a $ sign first. Once connected, check System Preferences>Network>Show: Airport>TCP/IP. You should have an IP address like 198.162.1.10x.

Two Issues: Cannot connect to wireless networks; Cannot load certain sites

Hey everybody,
I have a MacBook Pro 15".
In just the past week, I've stumbled upon two sudden problems with my network/internet connectivity.
First, I can no longer connect to wireless networks, be it an infrastructure point or computer-to-computer ad-hoc networks. I'm not really sure why. I installed the latest AirPort Update (4.2.3, according to System Profiler). I also recently installed both iStumbler and KisMac v.21. When I started having issues, I thought that maybe one of these two programs might be the culprit, so I uninstalled both of them but I still have the same problem.
Second, I've had issues with not being able to connect to certain websites. I use both Safari and BonEcho as my browsers. The specific sites seem random:
www.weffriddles.com
www.macrumors.com
images.google.com
sports.yahoo.com
finance.yahoo.com
to list a few.
If you need any diagnostic information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any advice/help you can provide!
Tommy H.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) browsers: Safari, BonEcho/ Airport Driver Version: 4.2.3

If you are trying to connect to a third-party router using WPA or WEP, there is a good chance that your Airport card was broken by Apple's 2007-02 Airport Update. There is no fix, and for many of us, our Macbooks and Macbook Pros are useless for wireless connections until Apple fixes the issue. At this point, Apple seems to be denying that there even is an issue, so we may all be in for a long wait indeed.

Need HELP! connecting to wireless network; IP Address problems!

I am trying to connect to wireless networks using the AirPort built into my MacBook Pro. There are two specific networks I am trying to connect to, both are WEP protected. I know the passwords and can get into each of them but I cannot connect to the internet, which is the main reason for connecting to them in the first place! When I go into System Preferences and click on Network, I see that next to AirPort it says I am connected to the network but may not be able to connect to the internet because my computer has a Self Assigned IP address. I assume this means my computer is not receiving an IP address from the network. I am set on full auto with DHCP. So what's wrong? Please Help!!!

That indicates that the MacBook Pro did not successfully communicate with the DHCP server on the network. Do those networks have access control (MAC address filtering) enabled? If so, the best solution is to reconfigure the base station so that this feature is disabled. This adds no real security since MAC addresses are easily discovered and cloned.
If you can't disable access control, you will need to add the MAC address of the wireless interface of your MacBook Pro to the list of allowed clients.

Slow wireless speeds on Mac Pro, but only downloads???

I have an "early 2009" quad-core Mac Pro. I also have a Macbook Pro that's a couple of years old. I'm running speedtest.net, with the laptop sitting on top of the Pro. My wireless setup is a several-year-old Airport Extreme base station hard-wired to the Verizon router.
My FiOS speed is 25/15, and that is generally what the laptop gets. When I first started this saga, the Mac Pro was getting about 4/12 on wireless (it is just as fast as the laptop if I hard-wire it). The laptop is also able to see about twice as many wireless networks as the Pro.
I have had the Pro in to the Genius Bar 3 times over the last couple of weeks. I give them credit for trying really hard; they say it actually has better wireless speeds in their store than one of their own Mac Pros, so they are chasing a problem they can't reproduce. The main thing they have done so far is replace the Airport card, which improved my results to about 9/17, but here we seem to be stuck. At this point the store has done everything they can think of, and all they can offer is to give me the names of some Apple certified techs who can come out to my home office (for a fee, of course) and try to trouble-shoot it here.
What I find most perplexing about this is that it's only download speed. I would think if there was some sort of interference, which is what they are thinking, it would affect both. And it would affect the laptop too.
I have a brand-new Airport base station that I will try setting up, but I don't have high hopes. I can also try upgrading to Snow Leopard, but that is a big time sink that I'm not quite ready for yet (I like to do a full install when I upgrade).
Does anyone have any other suggestions or tips on where else to research this?
Thanks in advance!

I saw this at a site where they were using DFS with Server 2003. When the few Mac's they had connected to the actual server and uploaded the file it was okay. But when it was sending the file via the \\DFS_node\share_name the Mac took heaps longer for the same file. Watching the Activity Monitor > Network monitor you could see gaps with the data transfer, as if there was some pausing between packets. A pcap showed that there was constant DNS requests coming from the Mac, even after the connection to the share was made. The same wasn't happening when the connection via SMB was directly to the actual file server. As there was only a few Mac on site they left it with the direct connection but were getting an MS specialist in to look at it. Never heard what happened with that one but you may want to try monitoring the packet transfer to see if the data movement is contstant or breaking. I'd also recommend getting Wireshark to monitor the transfer. You can compare upload to download and maybe even the transfer from the Mac to an MS workgroup share.

I tried the "iwconfig wlan0 channel auto", but that didn't work. Here's the output of "lspci | grep -i net":
[root@mzws ~]# lspci | grep -i net

03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 1000 Series
So what's the problem here? I searched the forum and google, and it seemed that I connected to a wrong router(for sometimes I only one "carrier lost" then "timed out"), but how was that happened? Things worked quite well before the upgrading as well as in my Windows environment.
Any reply would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Thanks Proofrific, but I believe it's not, for the DHCP server is a built-in module in my wireless router.
I am now able to connect to my wireless network now. And it seems to be a little kernel bug as I discovered a thread(sorry but I forgot which one) in the forum discussing a similar problem.... Somebody in that post suggested a work-around to change the channel, as their default setting is channel 13 or 12.
I tried and it did work! Just simply open your router's setting page and then change the channel from auto to 3(in my case), and netcfg worked well now. For the manual configuration, I suppose the "iwconfig wlan0 channel 3" should be issued.
Thanks everyone in the forum for providing their solutions!

Impossible connecting with wireless network Netgear WNR 2000

I can not log on to my wireless network (Netgear WNR 2000) with my macbook. My other PC:s work fine and connect always. My Macbook only connect after I have restarted the router. When I use my Macbook in other places I can connect with wireless network. What is the problem?

I'm assuming that you're using the right network password! After that, the most common causes of difficulty are:
- The router not set up for DHCP and so cannot allocate an IP address to the MacBook
- The router has "MAC" Address Authentication (a security feature - don't mistake MAC for Mac[intosh]) turned on and the AirPort MAC address isn't in the pass list.
- The default "Automatic" location in System Preferences > Networks has been modified so that it no longer works.

[SOLVED] Cannot connect to wireless networks any more after update

Hello,
I updated my system some days ago and, after that, I can't connect to wireless networks any more.
My network card is ath9k and I'm currently using wicd.
When I try to connect to my wireless network, I get "Veryfing AP association" message, then it fails to connect.
Here's the dmesg output :

This particular line caught my attention: " wlan0: de-authenticating from 00:1c:10:57:47:17 by local choice (reason=3)". So I searched for it (without the MAC address) on the internet and found several solutions for it, involving wpa_supplicant, dhcpcd, IPv6 (disable it on /etc/sysctl.d/40-ipv6.conf) and card power management (operation not supported, don't have option on BIOS), but none of them worked for me.

I've been connecting through wire since then and it's extremely uncomfortable being planted in one place.
Thanks.

Then, take a look at the output of sudo iw wlan0 scan
and see if you can see your AP. Also, verify that your wireless is called wlan0 by checking the ouput of ip link
Okay

Printer will not connect to wireless network

I have followed all the troubleshooting ideas, but still keep getting the following message... "This computer appears to have a working internet connection, but cannot find "Deskjet 2540 series [CA8F2C]._ipp_tcp.local." You many have typed the address incorrectly." Does anyone have any ideas what to do to fix this problem?

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Deskjet 2540 will not connect to your wireless network on Mac OS X 10.7. I am happy to help! Please try the steps within the following guides: 'Printer Offline' or 'Printer Not Responding' Message (OS X).Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity in OS X Lion or earlier.

Hp C4580 printer won't connect to wireless network, but see network is available.

I've sat through quite a few of the threads here with regard to photsmart C4580 printer not connecting to wireless network.
My issues started with a cartridge issue, which I resolved with a new cartridge, but only after trying out different solution offered on HP forum.
Now printer won't connect to my network which it has been connected to for over 2 years with no issues. The wireless network is working perfectly fine and I even printed out a HP photosmart C4500 series connectivity status and in this report printer can see the network I need to connect to.
I've tried downloading various programs from Scan doctor to complete install of all HP programs and even tried installing printer from Windows 7 "add a printer", but none can see this printer.
lastly I was hoping trying to locate IP address for printer which looks like it may help, but report says IP Address "not applicable".
I believe printer, wireless network and PC are working correctly, this there a way to switch printer to online so it can be seen.
Help would be great.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Cushionman ,

Can I connect to wireless networks far away?

How do I connect to wireless networks further away?
Is there a way I can improve my laptops wireless range so I can connect to wireless networks further away?

Hi!
You can only connect to wireless networks that the notebook recognizes. If the notebook recognizes a wireless network, you can connect to them. If it doesnt recognize (because it is further away) you can not connect.
Furthermore you can not improve the wireless range from the laptop. You can do this on a WLAN router, not on the notebook.
Bye
