MBPro won't connect to Linksys e3000

I installed a new router, a Linksys E3000.  No connection issues for any device except one MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8.   (Another MacBook Pro connected without issue.
Problem Macbook will not connect by wifi to the network.  Connects fine by ethernet OR to my iphone's personal hotspot.  I've tried going to network settings, selecting the network from the list and entering the password.  I get a connection timeout.  After repeated attempts, it connects perhaps 1 out of 20 times.  What is going on???  Apple wants $60.00 to attempt to help.  That *****.

Hi, Tinto4. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi network issues can be difficult due to various configurations, hardware and settings.  Start with a simple power cycle of your router and test the connection.  I would then recommend going through the article below and make sure all firmware updates have been processed along with the settings adjusted for optimized performance.

    airport express 802.11b doesn't connect to Linksys E3000
    Linksys told tha de the device does not support WPA security
    BUT
    the device has capability to WPA and it was working on Linksys WRT 310n v2
    is out there an solution?

    If you have tried numerous default resets, then the Express is defective. Normally, it displays a solid amber light...or no light.... when an internal component fails, but I've seen the solid green as well.
    If it's in warranty, Apple will replace the device. 
    If it's not....and you want to try a real longshot....carefully saw open the case along the center seam to open up the device.  You might get really lucky and find something obvious like a connector that has come loose, or something similar.

  • Unable to connect to Linksys E3000 when set to 5GHz "N" only Network mode

    I've not been able to connect to my to Linksys E3000 when set to 5GHz "N" only Network mode.  Connections to the 5GHz can only be done in mixed mode.  I do not need to have A-Mode enabled, so I do not wish to use mixed.

  • Toshiba laptop with Atheros AR5008X won't connect to Linksys WRT350N

    Please excuse the level of detail, but I believe you need a reasonably complete picture if you are to understand the problem well enough to give a complete answer.
    SETUP & BACKGROUND
    I have three N-compliant devices and several G-compliant devices on my network. I also have two routers, one being used an an access point. The first is a Linksys WRT350N; the second is a Linksys WRT54G. I have the G router connected as an access point so that I can reserve the N router for the N devices and achieve N speeds.
    N devices:
    Toshiba laptop; network adapter is Intel 4965AGN.
    Toshiba laptop; network adapter is Atheros AR5008X
    Lexmark Wireless printer
    Router settings:
    WRT350N: Security Mode WPA2 Personal; Encryption AES; Network Mode N-only; Radio Band 40MHz.
    WRT54G: Security Mode WPA Personal; Encryption AES; Network Mode Mixed
    The best I can recall, I set the WRT54G to WPA Personal instead of WPA2 Personal because one of the G-compliant devices did not list the WPA2 Personal setting -- but this is based on memory only.
    To reserve the WRT350N for the N devices and achieve N speeds, I set the Wireless Mode to N-only and Radio Band to 40MHz., and each router broadcasts its own unique SSID. Once I set everything up, I saw a substantial increase in the link speed reported by the Toshiba Connectivity Doctor (I realize there are issues about taking these numbers at face value, but let me continue). The Toshiba Connectivity Doctor reported WRT350N link speed at 130 Mbps and everything appeared to be working well.
    PROBLEM
    Until recently, no problems were apparent; the Toshiba Connectivity Doctor indicated the two laptops connected to the WRT350N at 130 Mbps, the printer connected to and printed via the WRT350N, and all G devices connected through the WRT54G. Recently, however, network performance declined and the Toshiba Connectivity Doctor indicated erratic link speeds ranging from 1 Mbps to 130 Mbps.
    I found through a little research that my quest to reserve the WRT350N router for N devices lacked one element: according to Linksys help for the router, setting the N Transmission Rate to anything other than Auto results in denying access to B/G clients.
    I set the N Transmission Rate to 270 Mbps (the highest setting). The Linksys printer works fine and the Toshiba Connectivity Doctor indicates a solid 130 Mbps link speed for the Toshiba laptop with the Intel 4965AGN adapter card.
    The other Toshiba (with the Atheros AR5008X adapter card), however, is now only able to connect to the WRT54G (the Toshiba Connectivity Doctor indicates a solid link speed of 54 Mbps to the G SSID). If I reset the WRT350N N Transmission Rate to Auto, the Toshiba with the Atheros card can once again connect to the N Router -- but the erratic link speeds and the network degradation returns also.
    I have verified that the Atheros AR5008X network adapter is N-compliant. There aren't many settings on the Atheros AR5008X adapter card configuration, but I can find no documentation on the Internet for this card.
    As far as I can determine, all firmware is up to date for both routers and all drivers are up to date for both adapter cards.
    I'd love to know what changed in the first place, but I'm more concerned with fixing this problem. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can get the Atheros adapter card to connect to the WRT350N with the N Transmission Rate set to something other than Auto?

    Atheros adapters using windows drivers wont work with N routers, ive read somewhere
    Download drivers at: http://www.atheros.cz.
    Updating wless adapter sometimes can affect your pc sound quality for some reason.
    Best call atheros for your concern
    or call Toshiba: TOSHIBA: 800-316-0920

  • Safari won't connect to Linksys Range Expander

    Hope some one can end my sleepless nights...
    I have read the posts on this forum for this type of problem and have followed the advice given but still can't get my neighbours Mac laptop to connect to my wireless network
    I have a Desktop PC running windows XP and two laptops running xp and vista. The network is a Belkin ADSL+2 modum and Netgear Wireless Rangemax router WPN824 which is wired by Ethernet to the PC while the Laptops hook into the network wirelessly. I am running WEP encryption on the router.
    I hooked up the Linksys WRE54G Range Expander and finally got it confugured on my network and placed it on the edge of my signal but my neighbour has a Mac and can't piggy back. The airport say it is connected to my network but we can't open a page and get on the web. Interestingly she is able to hook up to my router when in my unit with the Airport using the WEP password and I can take my laptop in her unit and connect automatically to my network thru the RE as the signal is excellent.
    After searching various threads here and forums elsewhere I configured the Mac's IPv4 to "Use DHCP with manual address" I assigned an IP address of 192.168.1.50 (as advised in the posts) , applied and rebooted - no luck! I have searched all types of sites for any information as I am only a novice
    My router is the DHCP Server and has an IP of 192.168.1.1 and subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. It's starting IP address is 192.168.1.2 and ends with 192.168.1.254. The Ip address of the Range expander is 192.168.1.240 and the subnet mask is the same while the gateway is 192.168.1.1 (router IP) It has WEP encryption enabled using the same keys as the router. Didn't know how to ping using the Mac so no info there sorry.
    When we assigned an IP address in the ethernet settings on the mac we configured IPv4 "Using DHCP with manual address" as per advice from other posts. We then only had the option to set an IP address and nothing else.
    When we go to "Network" we have a green light next to AirPort and it says "Airport is connected to the network JLay (my SSID). You are connected to the internet via AirPort".
    We tried various other types of configurations with IPv4 but nothing works
    Any advice is appreciated as I've now hit a brick wall

    Seems that I needed to type in the DNS server address (10.0.0.2) when I configured IPv4 manually. I used an IP address for the MAC 192.168.1.50 (as suggested) and same subnet mask as the router and used the IP address for the router in the router box.
    What a relief!

  • Linksys WRT54G2 V1 won't connect to the internet

    So I had my router all set up for awhile and then the other day my dad reset it and now for some reason it won't connect to the internet. I tried re-doing the setup but there was no luck.

    Welcome to the Cisco Home Community.
    Double check your configuration if you've followed setting up your router with your DSL connection correctly.

  • Connecting Linksys E3000 to DIRECTV DVR

    I want to setup a hardwired connection between my Linksys E3000 router and a DIRECTV DVR.  I have the most recent firmware on my router.  I have checked the ethernet cable and it is good.  The lights on the ethernet port on the DVR light up when I have the DRV and router connecter.  The DVR gives me an error message when I try to connect.  Some other posts have suggest setting a static IP on the DIRECTV DVR using the following settings:
    IP Address : 192.168.1.10
    Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1
    DNS : 192.168.1.1
    I tried this and still get an error message so I am going to call DIRECTV.  Before I do call I would like to know if these are the correct settings for a Static IP?

    This is the screen displayed by the DVR is
         IP Address:           192.168.1.10      OK
         Subnet Mask:        255.255.255.0   OK
         Default Gateway:  192.168.1.1        OK
         DNS:                      75.75.75.75       OK
         Network: Coax not connected (9)
         Internet: Not connected (9)
         Result Code: 86-748
    The DNS number is different than that in my original posting because I typed the wrong value in that posting.  The DNS number here is the actual value I entered when trying to create the static IP.

  • Linksys E3000 Connectivity Problems

    I have a new Linksys E3000, 2 wired disktops (1 windows 7, 1 windows vista), 2 wireless laptops (both windows Vista), whenever the computers power down into sleep mode and are woke up, I have lost my connections to the router and I am forced to restart the computer. I've been told by one person that this is a problem with vista and windows 7, but wouldn't that have been a problem with my old router also?
    any Ideas would be great, thanks.

    At first I was having this problem with all the computers, I went into the Contro Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Wireless Networks > (double clicked the router name) - when (router name Wireless Network properties box opened) > checked boxs Connected automatically when this network is in range (was already checked), Connect even if the network is not broadcasting and Enable intel connection settings (both of which were not already checked but are now).
    After doing this I have not had a problem with the Laptops connecting. Both are running windows vista. I cannot find this setting in my Windows 7 machine so I tried simply setting my desktop to never go to sleep. this didn't fix the problem.
    the adapter for the destop is Intel(R) 82578DC Gigabit Network Connetion.
    I am using the Cisco connection software that came with the router.

  • My iPhone 3GS won't connect to my Linksys WRT160N v3

    I have an iPhone 3GS and figured what a great idea it would be to have a wireless network in my house!  So i bought a Linksys WRT160N v3 wireless router.  And problems galore!  I can connect to my network alright but my iPhone won't switch over to "wireless" mode if you know what i mean.  It remains in "3G" mode. Not sure why it won't switch over.  After doing some research, i may have stumbled upon the problem...maybe?   Looking at the specs of an iPhone 3GS, it appears that it doesn't support "N" routers(i.e. 802.11 b/g - but no "N")  So did i screw up and buy the wrong router?  Is this router backwards compatible?
    Thanks!
    Dave 

    Same problem with Linksys WR160N and WiFi iPhone connection. No matter what you do it won't connect. It DOES for about 3min and then kicks you out, period.
    I just bought this Linksys WR160N and my OLD Linksys G worked 100% better then this.

  • Linksys E2000 Won't Connect

    My sister gave me her E2000. I run the setup program, my laptop sees the router and it shows a strong signal. When I try to connect with it, it won't connect.

    I have a cable modem. No DSL, no FIOS.
    Thanks for staying with me. Please understand that I have absolutely no common sense when it comes to networking, so if you could spell everything out simply and completely, then that would be helpful. Don't assume that I know anything about anything.
    You asked me for the IP address of my desktop computer and when I gave it to you, now you say that that was the address of the modem. I'm confused. Do the modem and the computer both have different IP addresses? If so, then how do I know which is which?
    First of all, if I connect my non wireless capable (NIC card ethernet only) desktop to any ethernet port on the router and connect the modem to any other ethernet port on the router, then I'm able to connect to the internet. After awhile, I lose connectivity and have to shut down the computer and the modem to reset things. I think it has something to do with dynamic IP assignment with the cable modem. Can I eliminate this and assign a static address to my desktop? I know how to do this with TCP/IP.
    If I remove the modem from the ethernet port and connect it to the "internet" port, as it SHOULD BE, then I can't connect to the internet.
    I assume that the router is functioning as a hub when both devices are connected to ethernet ports, although not sure why the computer loses its IP address after awhile.
    Of course, I have not yet spoken about my wireless capable laptop......................the whole reason for this exercise..............

  • Cisco Linksys E3000 - Open DNS Error

    I just purchased a Cisco Linksys E3000 and got it set up pretty much the way I want it. My only remaining problem is I wish to used Open DNS as my DNS server. On Line chat support says,"Please access router set up. Under the set up tab you will see the option for DNS1 and DNS2 please change it to 208.87.222 & 208.67.220 and save settings". I replied"I am on the basic set up page and currently I see Static DNS 1 thru 3 which are currently all zeros is that where you want me to put the new DNS numbers?"
    I made the changes as directed, saved and also flushed the DNS cache in Windows and in Firefox, rebooted and everything worked great.
    The problem is if the computer goes to sleep or is shut down when it restarts it cannot find the DNS server! What am I missing?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your help. This one really has me baffled
    As you can see below the static DNS is set to 3 adddresses for Open DNS and everthing works fine.untill either the computer goes to sllep or is shut down. Then the router can no longer locate a DNS server. The only way I can find to get everything working again is to zero out the address for Open DNS and reboot the router which somehow reestablises the DNS servers as:
    DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . 156.154.119.11
                                           156.154.129.11
                                           192.168.1.1
    You can also this below and I hope you have some idea of what is happening. I never had this problem before with any other routers on this system.
    Thanks,

  • MacBook Pro won't connect to the internet after standby

    Hallo all,
    I have the following strange problem with my macbook pro:
    - after going in stand by and returning in operating mode the mac won't connect to the internet, I have to follow the procedure in order to retry to connect but It does'not work. Go in network preferences, try to change the DNS, use and not use DHCP and so on but nothing change.
    - Mac is working in ethernet, I can see other macs and pcs
    - When I change the network to connect, same problem even if I turn off the mac.
    I have the same problem with Iphone !!!!
    I have linksys router and modem but I think that the reason could be a setting in mac.
    Anyone can help me???

    I tried re-installing Mountain Lion 10.8.3 but it didn´t help.
    Assuming your can access email ok ?
    First, install the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo)
    Then restart your Mac. That will reinstall any missing system files.
    Then try Safari.

  • I can't get to a specific website - Linksys E3000

    Hello,
    I have a Linksys E3000 and everything is working fine...until one day this last week.  A website I go to all the time stopped working.  The website is Martini in the Morning, www.martiniinthemorning.com.  It's a great internet radio station.  I listen to the station via other resoures, but I can't get to the website which has lots of features I use.
    The specifics are that from any of the computers connected to our network, I can't reach the site.  When I plug a computer directly into the Comcast modem, I can reach the site.  I have changed nothing that I am conscious of and everything was working until Monday of this last week.
    I thought it wasn't making it out of the router, but a TRACERT shows that I am.  I have a desktop running Vista, 2 laptops running XP Pro, an iPad and none of them can connect to that site.  My iPhone can't connect when it's on the network, but when it's on 3G, it can.
    I know someone may ask me to attach the TRACERT listings, so here they are.  I appreciate any and all suggestions.
    Regards,
    Irvin Johnson, Vancouver, WA

    brickmonkey,
    Thank you for your help.  1365 in the MTU did resolve the problem.  I had fears my ip address had been banned for eternity ;-)
    I power cycled the router, but did not reset to factory defaults and reconfigure.  I think as long as it holds, I will leave well enough alone.  One thing I don't understand is that I had it set to the default setting of 1500 since I bought the modem and it quit working last Tuesday.  BUT.......... I've been in technology long enough (and retired from it now) that I know that things change and life happens.
    Thank you brickmonkey and everyone else that offered help.  I will mark it closed

  • How do I set-up Linksys E3000 with Actiontec MI424WR

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a Linksys E3000 so that I could use it as my primary router instead of the Actiontec MI424WR. I want to use the Wireless N functionality of the new router since the MI424WR does not support that.
    I've researched many forums and have attempted many changes. But, it seems that the instructions available online are geared towards a different FiOS connection than what I have. There were details about setting up the MI424WR as a bridge, ect, but I could not get any to work.
    My Actiontec MI424WR is connected via a coaxial cable, I know there are others connected via a CAT5 cable. I've also read about VOD or CableTV service being disrupted by changing the settings on the Actiontec MI424WR, but I don't think that is the case with my service. This has been part of my confusion with everything I've read.
    Could someone please explain to me, in simple terms, how I can get my Linksys E3000 set-up to work as my primary wireless router?
    Thank you in advance,
    Solved!

    What revision of the Actiontec do you have?
    Do you have FIOS-TV?  Your post is not clear about that.
    Is it practical for you to run cat5 to the ONT?
    If you want to keep the coax WAN connection, then you must bridge the Actiontec in order for your router to be primary.
    If you can switch to a cat5 WAN connection, then you can connect your router as primary with the Actiontec behind it as a MOCA LAN bridge. You will not lose VOD, guide data or widgets.  Remote DVR and on-screen caller-id will not function properly if your router is primary.
    See this FAQ for different ways you  can connect your router.

  • My iMac won't connect to my network

    My iMac won't connect to the internet anymore. I can only get internet connection through someone elses network.
    It connected okay to my network when I first plugged it in. Everything was coming up roses and such. I'm thinking though it might have something to do with my pc. I gave my mom my pc and cleaned off everything. After re-installing the drivers, programs, and re-installing the wireless info on the pc, my mac won't connect to the network
    There is a password for connecting to the network a wep 128. But my mac keeps telling me the password is wrong. And the only way to connect to the interent for me is via the Dlink connection.
    We have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT54G)
    My mom has windows XP with wireless capability
    My mac has the airport extreme already in the computer
    I'm sure the problem is something really simple and minor and that I will kick myself for not figuring it out. :S
    But any help would be great
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The only other connection I get is through a unsecured dlink.
    I tried using network assistant to get on the linksys network but when I put in the password for it I keep getting a message that says invalid.
