MBP 2010 Lion won't connect to DLINK 802.11N

When I go to System Information and Wi-Fi it says PHY Mode: 802.11g.
When I get into my router set up page it set to mixed 802.11n/b/g
So ya the internet works with G and I dont understand why it wont connect to N and I don't know how to make it do that.
Any suggestions?
I'm running Lion and everything on my MBP is updated.

Why Lion won't connect to Non Apple Timemachine servers via AFP...

so far. Take a look at this. It may go a long way to help folk understand why it's broken.
I wholeheartedly atribute this to a chap on trick77.com but I can confirm that my set up...
HP Proliant 4 x 1 TB drives runing Ubuntu 8.04.2 with 4 shares for my Mac stuff under 'afp' and 1 share under 'smb' ,so my wifes Windows work laptop can be backed up. Since update to Lion on main Mini no Time Machine.
I tried adding the line......uams_dhx_2_passwd.so......in Webmin but it did't work. I am sure a fix will be out soon so for time being I just back up important stuff either to good old cheap DVD discs and a USB drive.
==
AFP network connections to many Linux-based NAS units aren’t working in Mac OS X Lion 10.7 developer preview. After hitting the connect button a message pops up saying:
The version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. Please contact your system administrator to resolve the problem.
The Time Machine backup feature present in many NAS obviously isn’t working as well because it’s based on AFP too.
You may say that this is a developer preview, things will change for the final release. That’s obviously true. Source say that this connection problem most likely has to do with Apple discontinuing support for DHCAST128 (or DHX) authentication in Lion because it was considered insecure. Instead, the successor of DHCAST128 should be used: the more secure DHX2 user authentication module. DHX2 is supported since Mac OS X 10.2 and supports up to 256 characters for passwords (**** yeah, that should be enough). It relies on CAST-128 in cipher block chaining mode for encryption.
I checked my QNAP NAS for available afpd/netatalk UAMs and DHX2 isn’t present, so it most likely wouldn’t work with Lion.
Well, if it weren’t for Time Machine, I could always resort to SMB.
[/usr/local/etc/netatalk/uams] # ls -ladrwxr-xr-x
1024 Jan 31 23:08 ./drwxr-xr-x
1024 Feb 25 20:14 ../lrwxrwxrwx
14 Feb 25 2011 uams_clrtxt.so -> uams_passwd.so*lrwxrwxrwx
18 Feb 25 2011 uams_dhx.so -> uams_dhx_passwd.so*-rwxr-xr-x
10959 Jan 31 23:08 uams_dhx_passwd.so*-rwxr-xr-x
5304 Jan 31 23:08 uams_guest.so*-rwxr-xr-x
6996 Jan 31 23:08 uams_passwd.so*
AFP authentication might work if a uams_dhx_2_passwd.so authentication module was present and configured. It may not be a bad idea to raise this issue with your NAS vendor if you plan to use Lion in the near future.
Rumor has it that some NAS vendors intentionally disable DHX2 in netatalk because it’s a lot more CPU intensive. This could lead to longer login times when accessing AFP shares on NAS’ units with slow CPUs.
Update 2-26-2011: It has been verified that Lion is able to connect to a Linux host running netatalk 2.1.2 supporting the DHX2 UAM in afpd.
Update 7-15-2011: See Time Machine support in OS X Lion 10.7.

Now we also have to wait for 'Netatalk' stable release to be outed as that should resolve the Ubuntu via Webmin picture..(we hope).
I tried different work arounds and have reset them all back to what they were and will just have to wait for Apple to address this. Hope this snippet
gives a little clarity
Cheers,
Michael

Hi Slammer,
I don't have a Qnap. The info between both == signs is to give an understanding of what’s going on.
Myself I have a HP Proliant 4 x 1 TB drives running Ubuntu 8.04.2 with 4shares for my Mac stuff under 'afp' and 1 share under 'smb', so my wife’s Windows work laptop can be backed up.
Now I have got all my connectivity back by using the terminal commands whichis now well documented but here is a good place if doing it on Lion as shown byMember 'ctendell'...
http://charlestendell.com/os-x-lion-afp-nas-connection-error-fix/
I can now see my server and everything on it but still no Time Machine backups because you need Netatalk 2.2 to be loaded on the server in my case and millions of others into Ubuntu.
(The version I am sporting at present is Netatalk 2.03). This I can do by using Webmin and will do it after the update to Lion due shortly. I could do it now, but I won't.
I should never have updated to Lion, and do what I have always done, and that was wait until at least 3-4 updates have taken place and review all the discussions on this forum to see if issues have been resolved.
With regards to DH....Things may have been fixed in the next update which has been seeded and a selectable choice option to use the prior DH....over the new version may be on the cards. The Netatalk latest version is still in beta format though it can be used and has been implemented by NAS manufacturers, but as I understand its due to become 'stable' and no longer in 'beta mode'.
I dare say that S.Jobs will not want to alienate a huge group so a fix will be the right thing to do but given the mountain of cash they have and most of the revenue coming from iPhones, iPads etc, they may decide not to and of course that means 3rd party fixes.
Patience is a virtue but Apple sometimes sorely tests it.
Cheers

Macbook Air (Lion) won't connect to Airport Express (and won't remember network)

My new Macbook Air 13, with Lion, will not connect to my Airport Express. It throws the following error: "A connection timeout occured"
This Airport Express is setup as a bridge. So it extends my wireless router.
The new Macbook air sees this setup as 2 seperate WIFI networks. It will connect to one (the router), but will not connect to the other one (the airport). It will then not remember the router, so each time it restarts or wakes from sleep, I have to manually reconnect to the correct one.
For reference. I have 4 other wifi devices in this household. A win 7 laptop, an IPad 2, an iphone, and a Macbook pro with Leopard. All 4 of them are working as intended. They see one wifi network, connect to it (and move between the two points as necessary), and they remember their connections.
Any thoughts or advice?

Glad it's not just me. I have D-Link and TP-Link routers set up in the same or a similar way. My iPads, iPods and Windows laptops all show a single SSID and switch between them happily. My new 13" Air was showing two networks (2 SSIDs) and wireless was patchy at best. I changed one router to be N only and that improved things somewhat, but still loosing the network. In order to see which router was being used I altered the SSID of one. The "N-only" router is giving the best coverage with a strong signal - but then it just drops out and the wireless icon shows "Searching". Turning wifi off then back on fixes the connection.
When it comes to internet browsing my iPad 2 is significantly faster than the Air.
I'm also having trouble keeping or attaining connections to my Windows shares, drop-out, even when I still have internet connectivity.

OSX Lion won't connect to PS3/Xbox - ethernet

My Macbook Pro with Lion isn't connecting to my PS3 or Xbox via ethernet. I want to be able to stream files and share my WiFi connection. I've enabled the appropriate sharing settings.
When hooked to my PS3, when I do a 'test' connection thing the ethernet connection on my Mac displays the ethernet as 'disconnected' and then the PS3 can't assign an IP. On the Xbox, it doesn't seem to disconnect the ethernet, but it always fails during a test.
I know it isn't my consoles as my friend connected his PC to them okay.
I know it should be just plug and play, which is why I'm a bit confused. My Mac is connected to a weird WiFi connection (the university's - 'enterprise', or something) but I don't see why that would make a difference in just making a simple connection.
Any advice, suggestions, anything?

Nothing? This is driving me insane. I've scoured Google and an apparent fix is editing bootpd.plist after sharing is turned on, but no such file is created on my Mac (in etc or tmp).
Someone help, please!

USB 2 HD connected to AirMac 802.11n station

Since I got my AirMac 802.11n base station I had my external HD connected to it and felt it was sort of slow that way.
Today, when I had to copy like 20,000 files over I was getting frustrated and unmounted it wirelessly and connected it directly to the USB 2 port on my MBP.
As suspected, the direct connect transfer speed is approximately 1 jillion times as fast.
So unless you have multiple computers and absolutely need to mount your HD wirelessly I strongly recommend directly connecting it.
doug

This is quite normal. Since you're using a wireless interface, you'll probably get 1/5 the speed as a direct connection with USB.
My setup with a USB disk gets about 80-130mbs wirelessly vs. 350-380 through a direct USB connection.
For bulk file operations, video conversions and backups, I connect directly to the USB. If I'm watching videos or editing files wirelessly through an Airport Disk, it's always on the Airport Extreme.
I guess what I'm saying is that you're right and that what you're seeing is normal.
Best of luck!

TC connects to PC (802.11n) DHCP IP assigned but no DNS lookups

Replaced my Linksys with a Time Capsule. Our iMac works fine. Our MBP works fine.
Just recently our room mates PC is not resolving domain names. Her 802.11n USB wireless connection had been working fine. But now when she connects she is assigned an address via DHCP and her DNS is registered as the TC ( as is ours in Mac land). But her PC is unable to resolve any DNS names.
I hard coded the DNS server of our ISP in her windows configuration and this work-around is working for her. But I would like to understand what went awry.
Ideas?
Warren

One thing I forgot to add. The TC assigns it's own address (10.0.1.1) to Mac's and PC's alike. But in the case of the PC is in unable to resolve domain names...

Problems connecting on Wireless 802.11n with my T61 with Intel Wireless AGN

Hi, I live in Thailand and have a similar problem as others with my Intel Wireless AGN connection as others. I have a D-Link Model DSL-2740B Rangebooster N ADSL2/2+ Modem Router. It is supposed to support 802.11n draft wireless connections of up to a maximum of 270 MBPS versus 54 MBPS for 802-11G wireless. Of course, I don't expect it to reach the maximum transfer speed, particularly here in Thaiand, however I would expect it to produce results better than the 54 MBPS rate for 802-11G. I first tried it on my ThinkPad T61 which incorporates Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. When connected, it shows a speed of 54MBPS (802-11G) instead of higher wireless 802-11n speeds. I've upgraded my router to the latest firmware and have tried different configurations with no improvement in performance. One think I have noted is that when I make an on-line configuration change to my router configuration then select "apply", immediately my ThinkPad rate changes to 150 MBPS momentarily then my connection is lost (to be expected as the router changes are being implemented), followed by reconnection of wireless signal only to return at 54 MBPS again. I also have an older ThinkPad model without built-in wireless capability so I purchased a Belkin wireless 802.11n USB adapter to connect to my router. Again, the maximum connection is at 54 MBPS. When I repeat configuration changes to my router as I did above, my ThinkPad connection momentarily changes to only 1 MBPS instead of 150 MBPS as in my other T61 ThinkPad then reverts back to 54 MBPS once the configuration changes have been completed. Has anyone successfully used wireless 802.11n successfully at the higher transfer rates (above 54 MBPS)? Is it possible that my TOT Goldcyber connection speed is artificially limited? I notice that my rated speed for my desktop computer connected to my same D-Link DSL-2740B only indicates a rated speed of 100 MBPS. I use Vista Home Premium 64-bit on my destop, Vista Home Premium 32-bit on my ThinkPad T61, but us Windows XP Professional on my older ThinkPad. I feel that my problem is either with my ADSL carrier (TOT) or compatibility with my D-Link DSL-2740B Modem Router and my ThinkPad T61 internal wireless card and/or Belkin wireless n USB adapter. IT-City is letting me swap out the Belkin USB for the D-Link Rangebooster n DWA-140 USB adapter next week when they restock. The only other think that I can think of is that wireless n just doesn't work in Thailand and that maybe I should just stick with wireless G and go with a higher powered wireless USB model such as the business rated EmGenius EUB 362 EXT. Has anyone used this model and had good success with it; I've heard that it is a long range model and has the capability of reaching 108 MBPS through some sort of magic? Looking forward to reading your replies and possible solution.
Pattayadavid

Hi!
Intel Wi-Fi cards support full 802.11n speed of 300 Mb/s working at 5 GHz range only. Your D-Link DSL-2740B works only in 2.4 GHz range. So to get 300 Mb/s you have to get another wi-fi router that supports 802.11n in both 2.4 and 5 GHz, for instance Lynksys WRT610N or Apple Airport Extreme or whatever.

Cannot Connect Airport Express 802.11n to WEP 64 Bit Wireless Network

I am currently use a Netgear MR814 who's only built in security is WEP 64bit.
I am attempting to connect my Airport Express 802.11n to it and I see the WEP 40 bit option and use that and it puts in my password for the wireless as 0xPASSWORD.
However it is unable to connect to the network. I scoured these forums and attempted the "$" escape character and the "" option by none of these work.
Is there a way for me to configure my AE to be able to connect to my (older) wiresless router?

I found information indicating that this airport express must be set up by airport utility 5.6.1, but that version is not supported by Lion.
AirPort Utility 5.6.1 is not supported by Lion....it was designed for Snow Leopard.
You need the correct version of AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
Give the correct version a try and then please report on your results.

Laserjet 1505 connected to AEB 802.11n via USB keeps timing out after print

I have a HP Laserjet 1505 connected on my AEB 802.11n via USB and shared on my network, on my network are two macs connected via wifi and 3 WinXP PC connected via wire. I have Bonjour and WinXP laserjet drivers installed on all Win PC. Everytime I print from any of the computers, it will print the first time, but when I try printing again from any of the machines, the macs and winxp pc's cannot detect the printer. When I go to airport utility, the printer cannot be detected anymore. I have to hard reset the AEB for it to detect the laserjet printer again. But the same thing happens again after I print out another document. Has anybody encountered this kind of problem. Can anyone help me resolve this?

Here is what I got from HP support :
The driver for the Laserjet P1006 is not available yet for Os 10.5...we are hoping it will be release in the next week or so...please click on the link below to sign up for an email update as soon as it is available..As a workaround, some people have been able to use the 10.4 driver from the cd, but this is not guaranteed to work in all applications therefore the only solution is to wait and install the 10.5 driver.
So we wait.

Connecting Nintendo Wii - 802.11n AEBS - Broadband Router aint worken?

Hey guys, Ive just bought a new Nintendo Wii which is working a charm, but i cant seam to be able to get it to connect to my wireless network, (my new iPod Touch is also having the same problems (works fine on all networks other than home).
Essentially I've got my broadband modem plugged into a router upstairs and my AirPort Extreme (802.11n) plugged into the aforementioned router upstairs (for some reason AirPort Extreme wouldn't recognize plugging the broadband router straight in rather than through another router) so my setup is:
Broadband Modem -> Wired Router -> AirPort Wireless -> Wii
I think the fact that i have my internet connection coming from another router (whose settings i cant change cause I've forgotten the routers password) and then plugged into my AirPort is whats causing all my troubles??? So ideally if anyones got any suggestions why my AirPort wont accept direct connection from my broadband router i think that might do the trick but making my current setup work for the Wii would be cool.
This is really causing me allot of troubles with heaps of devices so any help is welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Hello kungfuelmosan. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I suggest that you try connecting the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) directly to the broadband modem again, but this time make sure to allow enough time for a complete power recycle of the network components when doing so as follows ...
Try the following, in order, until resolved:
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

Unable to connect to AE 802.11n through airport utility -despite resetting

Hi all,
I do realize that there are a number of threads adressing what seems to be my problem, but none of the solutions have worked for me.
I have a 2 year old AE 802.11n that has given me flawless wireless network for a long time now. I have for some time been unable to connect to it and change settings through the Airport utility, for example I was unable to update to the 7.4.1 firmware, so I am (was) running 7.3.2.
Today I wanted to setup a external hard drive connected to the aiport, so I needed the Airport utiltiy. After numerous tries, including a direct connection through an ethernet cable, I was still unable to connect. I was getting the infamous 'Make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-6728)' error message, despite being able to detect the base fine.
It seemed that resetting the airport had helped a lot of other people, but Alas!! I used soft reset, hard reset and factory reset (presseing the reset button while plugging in the power), and still no luck. The only change is that now my network is no longer working (not surprising), and the base name has changed to factory default. What puzzles me is that Aiport utility states that the base is running the 7.3.2 firmware, while I am certain that it came with version 5.something as factory default. I have just left it without power for a few hours, and still the same.
So, how do I connect to my beloved AE again?
Thanks!
Oh, and I have the same problem on my 3 year old iMac and my brand new MacBook Pro....
Nikolaj 'getting desperate' HTP

I found a workaround:
I removed my new (5.4.1) version of Airport utility, and re installed 5.3.2 (downloaded here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/airportutility53 2forleopard.html)
I could then access the Base, setup my AirDisk, update the firmware, and AFTER the firmware update, reinstall Airport utility 5.4.1. It seems that everything is working now.

Connecting airport express 802.11n to airport extreme

Does anyone know how to connect my express to my extreme? I would like to extend my network and use my express for audio using airtunes.

liliroseruth, Welcome to the discussion area!
If the AirPort Express (AX) and AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) are both 802.11n capable, configure the AEBS to allow the network to be extended. Configure the AX to extend a wireless network.
If either the AX or the AEBS is not 802.11n capable, configure the AEBS to act as a WDS main base station. Configure the AX to act as a WDS remote base station.

MacBook Pro elbows out MacBook from Internet connection on AEB (802.11n)

I have recently setup Airport Express Base Station (802.11n) to connect to Internet via PPPoE. I have the following:
a) MacBook Pro;
b) MacBook;
c) ITouch;
d) Wii
All four hook up to the AEB, and connect to the Intranet individually.
But the two laptops do not connect to the Internet simultaneously.
If the MacBook Pro is already connected, the MacBook does not. When I shutoff the WiFi on the MacBook Pro, I have to go through all the steps in the Airport Utility on the MacBook, to connect to the Internet. It works fine, as long as the WiFi on the MacBook Pro remains switched off. As soon as I connect MacBook Pro to the AE, the Internet on the MacBook drops out. The MacBook does however continues to show the name of my AE network (along with several others in the neighborhood) networks.
Internet Connection from ITouch and the Wii remains unaffected.
My intuitive analysis was that perhaps both laptops are using the same frequency or channel to connect to the AE. So I changed from "Automatic" to "1" on the MacBook Pro and "2" on the MacBook. It did not help despite more combination.
Any suggestion please.
regards ... Ajay

Ajay,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Do me a favor, as so many others are experiencing this as well with multiple Macs on a network. I've suggested so many different things, but this one just came to mind while I read your post. Try this on all the Macs and let us know...
*Can’t Access Certain Web Sites / DNS Server Settings Issue*
I'm wondering if either or both Airport Utility & Network Prefs have proper DNS server settings. Try this
Launch Airport Utility.
Select TC on left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Internet" from the toolbar above.
What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"?
Try putting in these servers from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click "Update".
Your TC will restart with the new settings.
Next, launch System Prefs --> Network Prefs.
Select the service you usually connect with on the left (Airport or Ethernet).
Then click, "Advance..."
Click the "DNS" tab.
What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"?
Usually "10.0.1.1" will be listed first in gray. This refers back to the settings in the Airport Utility.
Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to add the DNS servers noted above here as well.
Click "OK" then click "Apply".
Finally, reboot your Mac.
Now see if you have internet access all around.
Let us know if this resolves your issue.
Cheers!

Wireless Connectivity Issue with 802.11n.

We have a 5508 Controller and sixteen 1142 APs.
Several of our laptops were experiencing connectivity issues over Wireless. Older laptops that do not support 11n are not having any problems.
I disabled 802.11n for both 'a' and 'b/g' in the Controller. Now the newer laptops connect with no issues.
They would in fact connect to the APs while 11n was available, just no Internet Access - (cannot ping DG, etc). Disabling/Enabling the laptop WL adapter would allow brief access (sometimes), but they'd quickly lose Internet Access once again.
Our WLANs are configured for WPA2/AES.
This looks like a 802.11n configuration issue at either the Controller or the Laptops (or both). Both are using the Default settings for 801.11n.
Any recommendations for correcting this? Are there best practice guidelines for configuring 802.11n?
Thanks.
- Jay
