Macbook pro can't connect to Dlink wireless router

Hi,
I just bought a new MacBook pro and found it can't connect to my office wireless router Dlink.
I can't get a proper IP address from DHCP. Now I have to go wired.
But some other routers I can connect to.
is this the driver problem? is this a known issue?
Please help!

The dlink router is using latest firmware.
I had once connected to it for couple minutes and failed.

New MacBook Pro can't connect to D-link router

Hi everyone! I just upgraded from an early 2007 MacBook Pro to the latest 15" MacBook Pro with Core i7 chip. Did a full migration with the Migration Assistant. Everything went fine. Could connect effortlessly with my Airport Extreme Base Station at home. However at work, I use a D-link wireless router. And somehow, the computer refuses to connect to it!! I see my office network on the list when I click on the Airport icon in the menu bar but when I attempt to connect to it, I get a connection time out error. The office network is also in my Network pref pane under "Preferred Networks". But somehow, the computer refuses to connect to it. I've already tried turning the Airport off and on again. Re-starting the computer. Re-starting the router. Nothing works.
My old MacBook Pro was fine with the D-link router but this new computer seems to be rather cranky.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Strange thing happened. Today the D-link router suddenly decided to work with my MacBook Pro!! I did not do anything or make any changes to any settings. Multiple re-starts yesterday failed to yield any results. And yet today it is working!! I have absolutely no idea why.
Perhaps the hardware is "shy" and needs multiple "introductions" before it wants to come out and play. Your guess is as good as mine. Anyway, as long as it works and stays working, I'm happy!

Differing connection speeds dlink wireless router

So my router is set up for G+ speeds and my roomates' Dell inspiron and my macbook pro santa rosa connect at 54mbps while my other roommate connects at 108mbps with his toshiba, what can I do? it's the same for me in windows and mac os, so I know it's not mac os doing it. Is there any way to change the speed I connect at? Atheros wireless was supposed to be top notch but I can't get the speeds yet, I'm about to go out and get a new wireless n router to see if I can connect at N speeds if I can't find a solution for this.
Any help would be great.
p.s. I can't get specific model numbers right now, but all firmware and software is up to date

It's not going to be particularly useful to seek help with a D-Link product here. To be sure, some Mac owners use these routers, but without specific knowledge of that particular model, it would really only be possible to give you broad and general advice on it.
You might, therefore, find a better line of assistance at the D-Link site (http://www.dlink.com/) and from the instructions/user guide for your specific device. If you don't have the instruction/user guide for your device, you should be able to access it there.
That said, having used a D-Link 604 for some time, and not had any issue with setting security, I'd be surprised if your unit were not capable of this. In the security screen when you access the router, there should be a button to save or confirm changes which you need to click once you have set the security type (WPA is more secure than WEP) and the required password.
Likewise, with MAC address filtering, though beware that when setting this, you will need to specify the MAC address of your system (specifically the interface you use to connect it, so if wifi, the MAC of the system's wireless card) at the outset, otherwise once set, you won't be allowed access to change it!
D-Link user guides are not the best written in the world, but are reasonably easy to follow.

MacBook Pro can't connect to wireless internet

I have a MacBook Pro that I have had from about 3 years now. It's been great but earlier this week, it wasn't able to connect to the internet here at my school (college). I didn't think too much of it because my schools internet is always spotty and goes down from time to time. Yet when I go on to my computer tonight nothing I do with my airport or computer will get my webpages to say anything other than "Server not found". I tried turning off my airport then back on and reselecting my network because usually that helps. It would say it connected and I would have full bars but still the same error message. I tried again, and when I did it this time, I did it from within the system/network preferences. When I did this, I watched the connection of my airport go red, then I would connect and it would go to yellow saying I had no IP address. I would then sit and wait and eventually it would fully connect giving me the green go-a-head. But, again when I would open up my internet, I would get the "Sever not found" message. I would then quit my firefox all together and tried again that way and still same massage. I restarted my computer and tried again...nothing. I became more concerned because my roommate could get on the internet just fine and I could use the wireless in my room through my phone. I was consered that now this was a matter with my computer and not just the internet, so to make sure I got out my ethernet cable and hooked it up with my connection in my room. This would work!
So my question is...
My roommate brought up the possiblity that this problem is with some sort of chip in my computer that helps me connect wirelessly to the internet and that it has gone bad and needs to be replaced. It this so? or is there something else I need to be doing? (and I have been trying lots of thing) This is vital to me getting my work done because we are in the middle of the semester and I need my wireless!!
Please help!
Thanks!

thats... odd
thats a real world IP address. So that means you dont have an actual router doing NAT.
It's also very unsecure. I HIGHLY advise tweaking your home network very soon. Without alot more info theres not much that I can really advise though.
You said your roommate can get on the wireless fine - what IP address does he/she get?
Also, i think you said if you plug in with a physical wire it works as well - what IP address there?
Do you know if you have an actual router? Or is this simply a cable or dsl modem?

MacBook Pro can't connect to iPod via wireless

Hi,
I have a fresh installed Mac OS X 10.5.5 on my new MacBook Pro.
Nothing was installed on it! no firewall, nothing! But i can't get connection to my iPod touch 2g.
I can see my iPod via bonjour, it has an IP, but i can't successful ping it. When i start the application "Remote" on my iPod, i can see it in iTunes, can't connect to itunes either.
What's wrong? On my other macbook i have no problem at all.
Thank you very much

I am having the same issue. If I plug an Ethernet cable into my Late 2008 MBP, I can connect to my iPod touch using any of the several apps, like Remote, AirSharing, 1Password, etc.
However, I cannot connect to the ipod using the MPB's airport. Like the peter2k, I can't even ping the iPod. Other laptops on the same network can wireless connect and ping my ipod just fine.
This is driving me nuts! Btw, prior to getting this laptop, I had an Early 2008 MBP that I used to connect to my ipod touch. I did a migration to this new MBP, but it has never been able to connect.

Windows XP on MacBook Pro - Can't connect to wireless after bootcamp, why?

1)I just bought MacBook Pro, just did a boot camp with windows xp. With Windows xp installed, it can't detect wireless network. What went wrong?
2)When setting the boot camp, do i need to have the boot camp driver? Why?
3)Can Windows xp on Macbook pro use the same built-in modem, or do i need to get a modem/ adaptor for windows on mac, so the wireless (on window xp on mac) would be able to work.

Did you install Apple's bootcamp drivers after you installed Windows? You should be able to accomplish that by booting into Windows and then inserting the installation disc that came with your MacBook Pro. Without Apple's drivers, Windows may not know how to use the wireless circuitry on your Mac.
3) Can Windows xp on Macbook pro use the same built-in modem, or do i need to get a modem/ adaptor for windows on mac, so the wireless (on window xp on mac) would be able to work.
With the proper drivers Windows should be able to use the wireless equipment that came with your Mac.

I have a new macbook pro hooked up to a belkin wireless router. My HP officejet printer is also connected to the router. I cannont get the printer to work from my computer without restarting my computer evertime I want to print. How do I fix this?

I have a new Macbook Pro hooked up to a new Belkin wireless router. I can connect to the internet without a problem. I have an HP officejet printer hooked up the the router to work wirelessley, The router is reading it as connected. My computer reads it as offline. If I reset my computer it will print whatever the first thing is in the que but nothing else and does not work after that. Is there some sort of setting that I am missing? I am trying to set this printer up to work wirelessly from three mac laptops in my house but I can't even get it to work on one right now. Any help would be awesome

MacBook Pro will not connect to Cisco Wireless Network

I have just bought a brand new MacBook Pro, running Leopard (OSX 10.5.1) and I just cannot get it to connect to the Wireless Network at my workplace.
The MBP connects to wireless network and authenticates just fine, but will not obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.
The wireless network consists of 16 Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Points controlled by a Cisco Wireless Network Controller. It does not broadcast its SSID and is WEP 128-bit hex protected.
Changing the network from WEP to WPA is out of the question for me as this is under the control of my customers IT Department and they do not have any problems with their PCs connecting to the network. It appears to be an Apple issue.
For reference, my old Vaio PC, my Nokia N95 and my iPod Touch ALL connect to the same wireless network without any problems whatsoever, first time, every time!
If I boot into Windows XP from my Boot Camp partition, XP can connect wirelessly to the network without any problems, so it is not MacBook hardware related...
It has to be a bug in Mac OSX... doesn't it?!?
Things I have already tried (following suggestions on many forums):
* Switching Airport off/on
* Deleting various network-related Plist files and rebooting
* Manually assigning an IP Address (not really permitted but doesn't work anyway!)
* Disabling all network adaptors except Airport
AP Grapher shows that the MBP is connected to the wireless network, at good strength, and packets are being sent and received, but Internet Access is not possible as no IP Address has been assigned. Instead, my MBP shows a 169.* IP Address (self-assigned). It should be a 10.1.255.* address.
Can anybody please help? Thank you.

i posted this same reply elsewhere because it worked for me for my Buffalo wireless router: try manually setting your IP address instead of relying on DHCP, which sometimes (I don't know why) doesn't work well with Macs. It's a good get around. I am a happy Mac user but nothing is perfect on earth, and when the Mac gives problems, it does give a lot of frustration. Macs are not as easy to troubleshoot as Win because a Mac is built to be user friendly(and it works most of the time), meaning a lot of the background computing stuff is hidden away from users to avoid user accidentally upsetting some settings.
Unfortunately, the highly automated troubleshooting wizards provided by OS X are not perfect so when these software wizards fail to resolve the problem, like my Network Diagnostics, I have to spend more time tinkering around. There's "Terminal" of course but then most of us, especially PC converts to Macs, don't know how to use it.
You should also try updating your MBP, see if there are any new updates being released.

MacBook Pro - Can't connect to Airport Base Station in XP

I have a new MacBook Pro running 10.4 and Win XP using Boot Camp. I also have an Airport Extreme Base Station. The MacBook finds and can use the base station perfectly when booted to 10.4. When booted into XP, it just keeps saying that it can't see any wireless networks (none available). I've tried rebooting the base station, repairing the connection in windows - Pretty much everything I can think of, but still no joy. It's really starting to stick in my craw. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get this to work I'd appreciate the help, as having to re-boot the Mac to copy stuff across to my G5 constantly is super annoying.....
Thanks

Thank you! It's very difficult for me to even mention the "W" word without somehow belittling it. I truly loathe using that OS, but am sadly forced to since we use Access for writing up orders. Woe is me!

MacBook Pro can't connect to Time Capsule or network drives

I have a MacBook Pro (2.2 GHz, Intel i7, 4 GB RAM) and for some reason it can not connect to either the Time Capsule or any network drives. We were recently out of town on vacation and before the vacation, everything worked fine. Now, that we are back, the MacBook will connect to the wireless network and can access the internet, etc but it can not access either the Time Capsule or any drives I have setup as shared that's connected to the iMac. I go to the Network and it doesn't show anything as available to connect to.
I have restarted both the MacBook and the iMac and even turned off and back on file sharing on the iMac. I have even restarted the Time Capsule but nothing is working. Both the MacBook Pro and iMac are running Lion (10.7.2). All have the latest updates, etc. Also the Time Capsule has all of the latest firmware updates. Again, this was working fine last week. Now this week, nothing.
Can someone please help? I use the Time Capsule for backups and the network drive for iTunes. Without those, the MacBook Pro is missing a lot of functionality.

It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

First time MacBook user can't connect to a wireless network

Just got my first mac (mbpro 15) yesterday and can't seem to connect to my wireless network. I can see my network but when I select it, it doesn't connect. Do I have to do anything with my router since this is my first mac? The connection for my airport is showing as an amber color. What can I do to connect my cmputer to the Internet? Thanks

I just got done dealing with this. It took me 2 days and after 5 hours on the phone with Apple and Belkin they could not help me. I found out what to do after reading the forms. Try turning off the security on your router first. Then reset the router. Open the MacBook network preferences go to advanced setting for the airport. Delete your network connection. Now turn off your airport then turn it back on. Find your network again and connect now that the security if off. When this is done restart your MacBook. You should be able to connect now. This worked for me. I did not want to keep my network open so I then added the WPA2 security if you have it or use WPA pick a password and then start the process again. Reset the router. Open the MacBook network preferences go to advanced setting for the airport. Delete your network connection. Now turn off your airport then turn it back on. Find your network again and connect putting in the password this time. Now restart the MacBook and with some luck you should be good to go. I was ready to throw my MacBook out a window before I figured this out. Please let me know if you need more details than this. Good luck.

1 Macbook Pro can not connect the Airport Disk Others OK!

Have an airport Extreme with 1 Hard drive now installed. I have two Macbooks and a MacPro that can access the sharepoint fine but I have on Macbook Pro which will not connect, it seems that Finder just waits forever for a connection.
What have I screwed up on the mac? Is there a plist or something I need to delete or reset?
Thanks

Problem solved it was the AEBS. Powered it down for 30secs then restarted seemed to solve the problem. Obviously Resetting it from the Airport Utility does not fully "Reset" it.
