Wireless Router does not work

I am at a university that does not want you to use wireless routers, yet everyone around me still has theirs and when i open my Airport dropdown, i see numerous wireless networks that are run by students.
My router is the ZyXEL HS-100W (a cheap router, but it has always worked for me in the past).
When i turn the wireless on through the router's firmware, it is registered on my airport's list, and when i type in my password (WPA), I get the green light in network prefrences and it says something along the lines of "user assigned IP" I have full bars, and it says I am connected, yet whenever i try to open a webpage, it says that I am not connected to the internet.
I tried to turn the firewall off inside the router, and it did nothing, I tried to use no security to see if that would work, and it did not.
I do know that we have to register MAC addresses with the computer department here, so I am not sure if there is a way to do this within OSX or within the firmware.
I know that this is probably very vague, but I am looking for whatever support I can get.
Thanks
ben

it was a good suggestion, but i cannot find a place to manually set a MAC.
The closest i could find is under the WAN page, there is a tab called WAN MAC.
in that tab is "spoof this computer's MAC Address - IP Address" and then has a spot to input an ip address (the default is in the 192.168.. just generic ip).
i tried to input my computer's ethernet mac address, and it didnt work.
maybe there are futher suggestions based on this?
also, i am not sure if this matters, but when the router is plugged in, and I am wired to the router, i can get internet, but once i switch to wifi, i dont get internet. maybe that will help.
thanks

Windows 7 does not like my Audigy Card at all

Hey guys,
Got too excited and went out and bought Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - fantastic. Problem is, I have no sound - my Asus Rampage Formula motherboard has no onboard sound as it comes with a seperate sound card which won't work and neither will the cheapy Audigy standard one I bought today to try...
7 automatically installs some drivers when it detects I have a sound card installed and sticks it in the Device Manager under 'System Devices' and calls it a 'High Definition Audio Controller'
Now I found the new Win 7 drivers on here and downloaded in the hope of installing and overwriting this 'Hi Def Audio Controller' but when i'm in setup I get the error message "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this Setup Program. Setup will exit" which is completely baffling me as Win7 can detect and install this 'audio controller' - when I hover over the volume icon in the taskbar (which incidentally has a red cross over it) it says 'No audio output is installed"
I'm probably going wrong somewhere, but I don't know if its Win7 or these "Windows 7" drivers don't actually work?
Please can anyone help?!!

Re: Windows 7 does not like my Audigy Card at all^ Perhaps you can try this:
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=0960"]http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=0960[/url]
Yes I know that that is a standard driver from Creative. But try to download the driver. Then right click it, and extract it. You can extract it like this if you have WINRAR, WINACE, or WINZIP on your system. Even the free 7-zip will work great.
Then go to device manager, and then to your unknown device, and then update driver, and then choose "have disk....." and browse to the folder where you unzipped the driver. Then install the driver, allowing it to copy the files over to your system. Reboot. Sound may still not be working at this point. Then try windows update or the Daniel K. pack again. Using this method may seem weird but I am trying to "trick" your system into picking up your Audigy.
This worked for me before with my x-fi Titanim and my Extreme gamer when I switched to Vista 64.

Thinkpad 430u Windows 7 - Public Network - Wireless router is not assigning IP address

Hello,
My computer knowledge is limited, but I have a chronic issue when attempting to connect to public wireless networks, ie a coffee shop:
When I attempt to connect, the laptop identifies the public network as an Unidentified Network and although it "connects" it says No Internet Access. Normally, when I connect, I would be prompted to selected Home, Work, Public and this does NOT happen. In the Network and Sharing Center, under the heading "View your active Networks" it says Unidentified Netowork, Public Network; Access type: No Internet Access, Connections: Wireless Network Connection (name of network). The words "Public Network" is NOT a hyperlink and cannot be clicked on.
When I run run cmd and check ipconfig I find that the wireless router is not assigning an ip address to my laptop. i then input ipconfig/releasei, and ipconfig/renew. I then receive and error saying "An error occurred while renewing interface Wireless Network Connection: The operation was canceled by the user."
I have turned off my firewall.
My smart phone can connect the the internet with no problem and the other laptop users have no problem either. This indicates there is no problem with the wirless router itself, but is some kind of setting or something that needs to be adjusted on my end.
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address: 169.254.86.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default gateway: n/a
Please, any help is appreciate. This is a chronic problem any time I link to public networks.
P.S. I have no problem connecting to the internet in my own home
Thank you!!

Sorry, forgot to include: it's a 2Wire 2701hg-b Residential Gateway. I'm unsure how old the model itself is--it was just given to us by AT&T (it's the model they use for their U-verse service). I checked today and the firmware is up-to-date.
Thanks.

Wireless net does not work after installing SP1 for Vista - Error code 10

After installing Vista SP1 on my computer (T61 - Vista Business 32 bit) my intel 82566mm wireless net does not work.
Windows says "Error code 10" and suggests that I update the driver. I have downloaded the newest driver via another computer, but it does not help. Still error code 10.
Any one else has the same problem?

I fixed the problem. Uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it clean. Looks like upgrading is problematic.

Wireless network does not automatically reconnect after sleep

I have a Belkin wireless G+ mimo modem router network. When I wake the mac from sleep it does not automatically reconnect to my wireless network and i have to manually select the network from the airport icon in the menu bar and then it connects without having to reenter my secure password. How do i set the mac to auto connect to the network after sleep? There are about 6 other wireless networks in range which may be effecting this reconnection.

In may case the network was already at the top of the preferred networks list.
Based of of a hint over at MacOSXhints.com, here's how I fixed this problem:
1. In the Network references pane, delete the Airport connection that does not like to reconnect.
2. Click Apply and Quit the System Prefs app.
3. Put the computer to sleep.
4. Wake the computer.
5. Go back in to the Network pref pane and re-add the Airport connection. Do not try to connect to the network at this time.
6. Click Apply and Quit the System Prefs app.
7. Use the Airport menubar app to connect to your network.
8. Verify connectivity
9. Put the computer to sleep.
10. Wake the computer.
11. Verify connectivity
My machine now consistently reconnects when coming out of sleep or restarting.
God luck!

Router does not answer

My router does not work with my computer but it works with my external driver. Also I have a PC conected to the router and it works...

My router does not work with my computer but it works with my external driver.
I don't understand the second part of that sentence.
As far as your computer is concerned,
1. Change the ethernet cable.
2. Open a browser on your Mac, and enter the router's ip - the manual will tell you what it is. Usually something like 192.168.1.1. You may have to wait for a response. If you do get a response. it will be a log-in window asking for a name and password. This info too should be in the manual.
3. Follow the instructions to set up your Mac to communicate with the router.
If this does not work, post back with a description of what happened.

Internet Connection - Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP.

I just bought an Apple TimeCapsule and set it up normally, following instructions to my Arris cable network on the Videotron provider here in Quebec, Canada. The TimeCapsule did appear as a wireless device on my MacBook Pro (after updating the AirPort software from the provided CD - as was instructed). I went through the whole installation process to obtain at the end this error:
Internet Connection - Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP.
The only provided instructions were to check the cable and then contact your Internet provider. Well it seems clear to me that if I contact my provider and say that the internet connection works fine directly on my computer, also fine through my "normal" wireless router but not with my new TimeCapsule, I won't get much of a response.
After a lot of research, a friend indicated the solution in my case.
You have to really reset the cable modem to convince it to start giving out IPs again.
To do this:
1. Unplug your TimeCapsule (possibly you might have to reset to factory defaults - see the documentation)
2. Unplug your cable modem
3. Reset your cable modem by pressing the reset button with a pen (or something) for several seconds.
4. Plug your cable modem back in and let it reboot/restart - until the lights are back on.
5. Plug in your TimeCapsule
Everything should now work and you can restart your AirPort set-up on your Mac.
Good luck!

My ISP is AOL. The service is DSL via a broadband modem. Somewhere during the setup process there appears to be a communicatiosn issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and the DSL modem. When I hook the DSL modem directly to my iMac I can connect to the internet without any issues.
I tried the factory reset and the DSL modem reboot process described in other posts and seemed very close to success...until the internet setup step. That is where this issue first presented itself.

Wrt610n wireless network does not work after firmeware upgrade

Hi
I just updated my Wrt610n hardware version 1 to the newest firmware, it did finish with sucess, I did factory reset reboot and reconfig. But the wireless network does not work , cant connect computers to it. Did downgrade the firmware to the same it was and restore my settings but still wireless does not work. But router works fine with lan. Any suggestions? maybe the firmware tosted the router?
Regards
Stefan

Update -
After last reset and reupgrade with the newest firmware for hardware version 1 I could config the router and connect 2 computers with wireless - but only for about 15 mín - then they lost connection and could not reconnect.
I did then get the newest update for hardeware version 2 - just to try and upgraded with that and got success, and now I have reset the router again and config it and those 2 computers are connected and have been for 1 hour now. So seems to be working - is it okay to have the firmware for hardware version 2 on my version 1 router?
Any thought what is going on - could it be that the other firmware had not loaded compleytle or?

Itunes does not pass windows logo testing to verify CD/DVDrom drives, Why?

Hello All,
When I try to install Itunes 9.2 on my XP 32bit machine, I get the error message "Itunes does not pass windows logo testing to verify CD/DVD rom drives this software will not be installed. Contact your administrator" I am the owner & my account has administrator rights. When I start itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed if you wish to burn Cds you will need to reinstall itunes" Any ideas what i should do anyone?
Thanks

When I start itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed if you wish to burn Cds you will need to reinstall itunes" Any ideas what i should do anyone?
That sounds like the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing aren't going in properly. (or there's damaged GEAR drivers for an old install stuck on the PC.
Perhaps manually uninstalling and reinstalling the GEAR drivers can get you past this. There's instructions for that on the GEAR wiki:

Does not having windows xp keep your pc from communicating with an apple airport express base station?

Does not having windows xp keep your pc from communication with an apple airport base station?

It say's this on the main Apple Website:
Support for WPA requires Mac OS X v10.3 or later. Use of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) reduces the maximum number of network users. When joining an existing wireless network, AirPort Express supports only WPA-Personal. WPA2 requires a Mac computer with an AirPort Extreme Card and Mac OS X v10.3 or later.
So it has to be on WPA-Personal.
The Airport Utility should tell you what is wrong with it when it is orange.
Also, is it running on the same channel? For instance, are they both running on channel 1? Are you extending a network, or creating a network?
Hope that brain snap just puts everything together.

2509 router does not accept wan ip with subnet

hi i hv 2509, 2501. while configuring wan ip on serial interface its ot allowing me to configure ip with other subnet mask , its allowing only ip with default subnet mask, for eg- if i giv 202.54.10.1 255.255.255.252 on s0 of 1st router then router does not allow me to configure , but if i give 202.54.10.1 255.255.255.0 then it configure smoothly , can any body tel me why?

I am not confident that ip classless will help this issue. ip classless has to do with how we interpret the content of the routing table and not to do with how interfaces are configured. It is more likely that the ip subnet-zero command might be the solution for the symptom described.
I would ask for some clarification from Gulshan. When you attempt to configure the router with 202.54.10.1 does it give error message saying invalid mask? If so it is a symptom of attempting to configure an address that falls into subnet zero (which your example does). If you configure the router with ip subnet-zero and then attempt to configure the interface it should work ok.
Restriction on the use of subnet zero was common many releases of IOS ago. But those restrictions are not common in more recent versions of code. It sounds like your router is running code which enforces this restriction by default.

Photosmart C6180 on wireless network does not respond when attempting to print

Photosmart C6180 successfully installed on wireless network does not respond when attempting to print. All in one is successfully installed on wireless network and SW successfully installed on Windows XP computer yet printer does not print. Get no error message other than document failed to print. HELP!

So gald I'm not the only one. I have been fighting this crappy HP printer for MONTHS also. Everything says a OK goody goody but printer fails to print every two to three weeks.

HT4356 Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

Up photos mart c7100 series wireless printer does not show up as a printer. Anyone found a fix for for use with ipad3?

It sounds like the features are working through the USB connection rather than the wireless connection since it is still not seeing the networks.
Everything points to a hardware failure since the steps provided through the private message did not work and the wireless test showed it had failed. Sorry.
You do have some options at this point.
If it is under warranty, either standard or extended, you can contact HP support at 1-800-474-6836 to have it serviced under warranty.
If it is out of warranty, you can still contact HP support to find out all the options and the cost of each option. However, it is my opinion that this money would be better spend being applied towards a new printer.
