Lost wireless connection from WRT54G

I've been using my wireless router for about a year without issue, but now I can no longer connect wirelessly. I'm on a MAC OS 10. I am able to connect wired.
I've used the article "Encountering difficulty connecting a wireless computer/s to the Internet when connected to a Linksys router" and when I try to check the router's settings via IP, I get a 'no results' response.
Thanks!

Thanks for the help. My MAC is not recognizing my wireless router. I can see other wireless routers in my neighborhood, but not mine. I've reset both the moden and router, as well as rebooted my MAC. Even if I hardwire the router to my computer I can't go online. I can if I connect directly through the modem via Ethernet. The IP for the router matches from the device to the settings on my MAC, but still it does not find it.

E60 lost wireless connection to network

my E60 lost wireless connection to network. tried GPS, DUAL, automatic, manual search for network. Same SIM works fine with different phone. Any idea anyone?

Hi Neil
I'm not familiar with HH (I use a third party router) but it looks as though the HH is set to NOT broadcast the SSID. I'm sure that if you go into the HH settings (the address foe the HH should be 192.168.1.254) you should find somewhere a check box or whatever that allows the router to b'cast the SSID or not. Some would argue that you should not b'cast the SSID but IMHO it makes no difference as the SSID is so easy to discover even if it's not being b'cast.
Just another thought is that you might have to set the wireless connection up as a separate connection to the wired connection. I don't know which OS you are using but if Win 7 then go into 'Network and Sharing centre' and then select 'connect to a network' and take it from there. If not on Win 7 then, if I recall correctly, right click on the networking icon in the system tray and there should be an option to connect to a network.
Hope this helps, if not then I'm sure there are other HH users on this forum who will provide advice.

Satellite L500 - Lost wireless connection

My Satellite L500 recently lost wireless connection. I looked up the Realtek wireless device in Device Manager, and it says the device is working properly. I have tried using "ping 192.168.1.1" to reach the router, and I get "Transmit error - general failure".
Any ideas?

Hi buddy,
And now does Windows recognize some WLAN networks in range? Your posting lost wireless connection is not very useful
You should try a WLAN driver update that you can download on official Toshiba page:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
If you still cannot find or connect to WLAN networks disable the WLAN power saving mode in Windows power profiles. You have to set it to maximum performance.

The only way I can use the internet now is through the Ethernet connection out of the Netgear.

No wireless connection on WRT54GS

The wireless connection on my WRT54GS (v6, firmware 1.50.9) seems to have died. The WLAN light still comes on, but neither the downstairs PC nor my PSP can locate the network, even though the router is set to broadcast the SSID. Rebooting makes no difference. Cabled connections (PC and PS3) still work perfectly well. No settings have been changed on any of the equipment, so I suspect that something has gone wrong internally. The router is just about within its warranty period, so is there anything I can try - any diagnostic software, for example - or should I just get it replaced?

You can try to update the firmware of the router, to check if that stops connection dropping. To update the firmware of router try this: 1. Go to www.linksys.com/download and select correct model number and version number. Download the firmware and save it on your computer. 2. Check the file it sould be firmware image file like .bin etc. If it is a compressed zip file extract it to get firmware image file. 3. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 4. Go to administartion tab there 5. Go to fimware update sub-tab there 6. Browse for the firmware image file and click update 7. when update completes turn off modem & router. 8. After 2 minutes turn on modem and after 2 more minutes turn on router. To get network key, connect your computer to one of the four ports on router using ethernet cable. 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Use your password if you have changed it earlier 2. Go to wireless tab. 3. Go to wireless security sub-tab 4. If security mode is wpa or wpa2 note down passphrase/shared key, if security mode is WEP note down wep key number 1. This will be your network key Well you need to input all the wireless settings of your wireless network on Wii. To get these settings: 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 2. Goto wireless tab. Here you will get the wireless network name/SSID. Here make sure wireless SSID broadcast is enabled. 3. Now goto wireless security sub-tab and here you will get the security mode and the security key. If security type is WPA note passphrase/shared key, and if its WEP note down wep encryption level and key 1 from listed 4 keys....& it will definately work!!!

Equium A110 - Lost wireless connection

Hello all,
can you help?
I have lost connection on my Equium A110 and also another laptop (not Toshiba) it askes for or incorrect IP address.
I have an linksys router which has had its filmware up to date

Hello
For me its definitively not a notebook issue because on the other notebook you have a problem with the wireless connection too.
Its not so easy to say what the reason is for this
In your case I would try the command line the command ipconfig /renew
Does it work?
If it doesnt work you should try to disconnect the router from the AC/DC adaptor for at least 5 minutes. Then connect the AC/DC adaptor again and try it.
Good luck!

Lost internet connection with WRT54G

Have had WRT54G router for a few years now and worked perfectly with a cable modem. Went on holiday for 2 weeks and switched the router and cable modem off. When I came back this week and turned them back on I can no longer connect to the internet from either of my laptops via wireless router. Can get local access from laptop to router but not to internet. Can connect OK from laptop to internet via cable modem direct. Have tried lots of things, including upgrading firmware, resetting automatic setup etc, but can't work out why it suddenly stopped working.
Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do not use easy setup. You need a wired connection between your router and computer. Log on to router using 192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer. Leave username blank and use admin for password. You may have to clone your mac address.
Setup your wireless connection. Change the network name from Linksys to something else. Go to wireless security and setup wpa encryption. Write down the settings. You will have to input these settings into your wireless connection.

How do I remove the wireless connection from my Apple TV 2.

I have an Apple TV 2 and I want to sell it. Before selling it, I want to remove my wireless connection which has my home network password from the Apple TV. How do I do it ?
Thanks for helping me.

Put it in DFU and do an update. This will not only update it, but it will remove all settings. DFU = hold menu+play while plugging it in.

Home Hub 3: ethernet & wireless connections from i...

I have a perplexing problem whereby the functionality I get from my Home Hub 3 is different depending on whether my brand new iMac computer running MacOS 10.7.2 is connected wired (i.e. using ethernet) or via wireless.
The functionality difference has shown itself to me in the two scenarios below. It's a problem to me because the problems occur when the iMac is connected via ethernet and I want to use ethernet to connect my iMac. If the wireless connection to the iMac was as reliable as everything else on my network (mac laptops also running 10.7.2, windows 7 laptops, iphones, ipads etc) I would be content to use wireless. However, the iMac frequently drops the signal requiring a wireless on/off to get it back. I'm tending to hold the iMac responsible for this and await an Apple fix, although having changed the security setting on the Home Hub 3 to WPA2 only and set the channel to channel 4, the wireless dropouts are much less frequent, without these changes it drops the signal every few minutes. Any input on this would be gratefully received.
I want wired for connection reliability (and speed), but I have a two situations where I get more functionality out of my network if the iMac is connected via wireless. A classic case of being caught between two stools.
Scenario 1
I have a WD MyBook Live NAS drive attached to the Home Hob 3 via ethernet with the intention of using it as a Time Machine backup disc for the iMac and to be a shared drive for our macbook and windows laptops. All seems fine at first with the iMac connected via ethernet, the browser can see the NAS drive and set it up etc, but Time Machine will only see the WD MyBook Live if wireless is switched on.
Scenario 2
I have an HP 5510 wireless printer and set it up and HP software installed on the iMac. With the iMac connected to the Home Hub 3 via ethernet printing is fine, however, scanning doesn't work, the scanner and iMac cant see each other. With wireless scanning is fine as well as printing.
I haven't wanted to mess with it all any more, Ive spent hours going through the HP software, the WD software, the router as well as the network preferences on the iMac. It's not making make sense. Anybody who knows what's going on here would be a genius in my book!

Hi mja, Apologies but I'm not the expert you're looking for, but a couple of my experiences may be of interest. I've got a WD my book running as a networked back up drive. A while back there was an update for a "USB" connected hard drive (which mine is definitely not) - this confused my PC -- wouldn't let it close down amongst many other symptoms --with great difficuly managed to disable the driver and sanity was restored. The other problem involved a print server that has a static IP address -------- my HH3 sometimes gives that IP address to other items on my network --------- this stops the printer working. Apologies if this post is not formatted correctly, I'm using an iPad --- not by choice,, All the best Michael

Lost wireless connection with mx860

i lost my wireless connection with my mx860 - please help, i have tried it all
thank you

Did you solve your printer connection problem? I have the same issue. When I first turn the system on, it is connected. But after a short time (a few minutes?) it loses connection between Mac and printer, even tho both are connected to my WIFI. I have to turn the printer and and off to reconnect it to the Mac. Very frustrating. I have checked Netgear, Printer and Mac settings and can't find any explanation.

Severity: 3 Administrative access denied, and lost wireless connection

What does that mean? I am currently watching my Logs file update every other second with a new line that looks like someone is trying to access my Airport.
The date is wrong too, says Dec. 31 when it's May 31. Line is as follows:
Dec 31 19:03:15 Severity:3 Administrative access denied to fe80::21e:c2ff:fec0:4f0d%mirror0/49925.
The original reason why I was looking at the Log was because I got bounced off my Airport again. It happens now and then, when there are a bunch of wireless connections in the building, I can see them listed, but when it happens, my own Airport is missing from the list.
The other issue is that I am not interested in paying for someone else's internet access. I have it password protected, but the person I *think might be trying to hack it, is a computer genius/programmer who's built systems, so I'm a bit worried because I don't know anything about this stuff.
Is there any way I can make sure I'm not bounced off my connection again, and that noone else gets to use my connection?
Thanks!

As long as you're passwords are strong, I wouldn't worry about it. There is always someone somewhere trying to gain access to a router, to get internet access or what have you.
More then likely if someone did try and access your routers, and got denied, they just moved on to the next router he could find and try to access that one.
Just make sure you're passwords are strong enough.
If you're concerned that your password isn't strong enough, or to common, check out this website.

Lost ODBC Connection from development environment

Using LV 7.1 and an Active-X based ODBC Connection scheme to a MySQL database which has worked flawlessly up until now. I've just written an application which accesses the database to generate a 'recipe' for our operators to follow. This is poked into a multicolumn listbox, and works perfectly from the compiled version. However, when I'm running the very same program in the development envirnment, I will get an error which indicates I have lost the connection to the database. Never happened from the built versions, and yes, I'm running exactly the same code. This is irritating, as when I'm trying to debug the SQL pieces, the code crashes. Happily, the compiled versions are working, but it makes me nervous when programs crash like this.
I am doing a listbox refresh every 60s or so, which involves accessing the database, reading a large chunk and displaying it. Im' also doing an ODBC conncetion check every 2s, and possibly some other database access depending on the operator input. MySQL is set up so that I can have 100 threads open at once, and I never approach that. I always open, do command, then close and destroy connections.
All I can think of is that there is a difference in the timing and the database access between the developement environment and the compiled versions.
Any thoughts anyone?

Hi,
Yes, that is exactly what I have done. Built the executable which runs without problems.
I've also tried to strip the program down by simply running the piece which polls the database continually. This seemed to run fine until I ran another program which also accessed the same database. So, to summarize:
1. The development environment program with single loop running accessing the database every 2s or so runs fine.
2. The dev. env. app. running multiple loops possibly accessing the db concurrently crashes
3. The same program as 2 but built into an application runs fine.
