NB550D - WiFi cannot 'see' 11N network, only 11G

Hi
My new laptop cannot "see" the 11N network on my router, only the 11G from any location in the house. Other PCs and XBox in the house have no problems seeing both. The Wireless access control is not switched on.
PC - NB550D
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium
Updated to latest Atheros Wireless LAN Driver 9.2.0.206.0
I have a Netgear Rangemax Wireless N Modem Router
- It has two channels: 11G is 11 and 11N is 36
- Both SSIDs are being broadcast
- Wireless Security is set to WPA2-PSK
Please have a magic answer for me!

I'm guessing the NB550D doesn't support the 5GHz radio band and your router is set to 5GHz for 802.11n
You may need to drop 802.11g and reconfigure 802.11n to use 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz (unless your router can support two 2.4GHz connections simultaneously).

LifeDrive cannot see my network

My network is working, I can use my laptop wirelessly. However, I cannot see my network on my LifeDrive, as though it is not receiveing it, although I seem to be able to see other networks. I have tried setting the router to .11b only, changed the channel all to no avail. Any ideas?
Post relates to: LifeDrive

A few things to try:
Cycle power to your router, soft reset the LD, make sure your router is set to broadcast the SSID (and not "invisible" ).
Your router has a name that is different from any around you, right? (Not all called "Linksys" or "Netgear" for example)

Ipad cannot see wireless network

Hi, I have a wireless network using several Cisco 1131AG wireless access points. I have several Mac computers that see the wireless SSID and connect to the internet wirelessly. However, Ipads and Iphones don't see the wireless network. They cannot see the SSID at all. I have tried ipad 2, iphone 4 and 5. The network is not secured at this point. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

DeskJet F4583 cannot see wireless network

Hi,
I am trying to put my F4583 on the network but it cannot see the router.
I ask the utility to scan and it comes back and sees nothing (there are four or five in my neighbourhood).
I type in the exact SSID name and it still cannot find the network. The blue wireless light just sits a blinks slowly.
Any ideas?

Have you tried unplugging the power cable on the printer and plugging it back and they trying to search for the network?

T430 with Intel Ultimate-N 6300 wireless card cannot see 5Ghz network

I have two machines with the exact same Intel 6300 AGN wireless cards. Both running Widowns 7 64-bit. Both have same versions of Intel drivers installed. The X230 sees and connects to my 5Ghz wireless network. The T430 sees only the 2.4Ghz network. The 5Ghz network is not even displayed in its list of available networks.
The T430 sees other 5Ghz networks in the neighborhood. Using inSSIDer I can see that the wifi card is functioning on the 5Ghz frequency as it displays 3 other nearby networks. But I have no way to test connection since those are not my networks and are secured (as is mine).
Windows also shows those neighboring 5Ghz networks in the list of available connections. Only my own 5Ghz network is absent from both lists.
Both my 2.4 and 5Ghz bands are broadcasing their SSID's. All MAC filtering is correct and both machines are allowed on the networks. The WPA keys are correct.
I have even copied the network settings from the working X230 using the "Copy this network profile to a USB flash drive" option from the wireless network properties window and added the 5Ghz network to the T430 using the USB key. So I know the settings are identical.
I ran Lenovo diagnostics Wireless Quick Test on both machines and got identical successfull results.
The only thing amusing about this issue is that the X230 wifi card was purchased from an eBay seller in China and that is the one that works. The card in T430 came with the laptop direct from Lenovo and that one has trouble. Both cards have Lenovo FRU numbers and clearly are whitelist approved since they both work. Just that the T430 card only sees the 2.4Ghz network.
I have assigned static IP addresses to both machines on the network.
I have rebooted the router.
I have run all Lenovo and Windows updates on both machines.
If anyone has further suggestions I woul really appreciate assistance.
Thank you.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

NI MAX cannot see / looses network instrument

There appears to be a bug with NI MAX where a network instrument which was previously configured suddently dissappears and when we attempt to re-establish the instrument, MAX claims that it cannot find the instrument.
This was seen on 4 different stations, all sharing the similar behavior. This was also seen at a completely different customer where the configuration was setup by a fourth person. At client # 1 there are 4 stations. They were setup by 3 different people using the same instructions. Everything was fine on all 4 stations. All of a sudden, the information dissappears from the network instrument list and it is not possible to re-configure the network instrument within MAX. A similar behavior was reported by another client which is totally different than the first client. NI MAX was configured by a different person than at client 1, possibly using different steps (although it is quite simple to setup a network device within NI MAX).
NI MAX at client #1 are versions 5.40f0 and 14.0.0a2.
NI MAX at client # 2 is version at least 14.0.0a2.
If we copy an exported settings file from another station, the network devices are restored and it is possible to use the network instrument. However, if you attempt to setup the instrument manually, because MAX cannot find it automatically, it is not possible to validate the instrument and complete the setup. Even if you cheat and complete the setup, the PC will not communicate with the instrument via VISA. However, it is possible to communicate with the instrument outside NI MAX. The instrument is seen by the PC and does respond to ping requests.
See image below.
When trying to validate the instrument, NI MAX responds with the fact that it could not open a VISA session via TCPIP.
My first question is: why does the instrument dissappear in the first place?
Rebooting the PC did not help. Basic troubleshooting did not resolve the issue. This is not the first time I work with NI MAX and with network instruments; however, this is the first time I see them dissappear fromNI MAX.
I did not find anything while searching for posts for similar issues, so I do not know if anyone else has seen this. I did encounter a similar description for a bug that was supposidly fixed in MAX 5.4
Does anyone at NI have a clue at how to make NI MAX more solid with respect to network instruments?
Thanks,
RayR

Hello AK2DM,
I was just north of you last week in Sedona. Beautiful place. Our next trip in your area will take us to Phoenix. We'll have to get together.
There are no dependencies on any NI Services that I am aware of. A customer just reported a similar issue at their Penang CM site. They are now in a bit of a panic. I did not work on the code at that site, but 3 sites, 2 customers reporting the same issue??? That's not a coincidence. Something is wrong with MAX. The only way to recover is to import the configuration file within NI MAX. It was impossible to simply scan for the instrument to get MAX to communicate with the instrument, although the PC, that has NI MAX installed, is able to ping the instrument.
I may have seen a similar issue a few years ago with another client where we kept loosing the network communication, but gave up and switched to GPIB. At the time, we thought the network switches were causing issues and blamed it on the network. Today, I may think otherwise... I do not know what to investigate to verify why this is occurring. Strangely enough, these systems ran for a year before we started seeing the symptoms. I thought windoze upgrades was turned off... It may be related to some recent upgrade, because we only started seeing these unusual behaviors since November (?). I can't remember exactly when we first saw it. Late fall / early winter??
It is strange that you started seeing an odd behavior around the same time. Running windoze, right? I never liked windoze... Everyone should move to Linux/Unix/Solaris. LOL!

PC cannot see AE network (but 2 Apple Laptops can)

Hello,
Recently I purchased AE (well today) and MacBook Pro 10.7.3 running Lion. Apple laptops can see network and access internet with no problems, however, PC cannot. I used Aiport Utility assistant for install. Guide mentions using set up assistant to create a new wireless (seemed to create on initial install). What am I mssing? Per set up guide I am to choose "manual set up" from the "base station" menu. This option is not there. Getting frustrated if it is an error between the keyboard and my seat.
I did open base station password and located the 63 hexidecimal WPA security key which I added to the PC and it still didn't work. Kind of hard to tell if the security key is using an "l" or a "1" so maybe I have the wrong security key?
Any help is greatly appreciated as I need to get this going before tomorrow (need wifi for work).
Thank you in advance.

ACE Routed mode - cannot see serverside network

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with the first context I've set up in pure routed mode without NAT. Taking advice from this forum I've defined the interface for the serverside VLAN only in the ACE context. Trouble is this doesn't seem to have propagted into the routing table.
The ACE can see the servers - they are in the ARP cache and can be PINGed from the context.
A show IP route on the 6500 doesn't find the serverside subnet in the routing table.
Am I missing something obvious. I've attached the config if that helps.
Thank you
Cathy

I am not sure what your question is
Are you not seeing the VIPs in 6500 routing table? If its about vip the RHI (Route health injection (loadbalance vip advertise) should take care of it.
Or you want to see the Server vlan in the routing table of 6500?.
If thats the case then that is not going to happen. You will have to add static routes and redistribute them in the network (on upstream router).

Cannot see wired network device in Home Sharing

I have an Apple TV 3, W7 HP Laptop and W7 Desktop.
The ATV3 and HP Laptop both connect to my home network wirelessly through my Linksys WRT610N Router. Home Sharing is enabled on my W7 laptop and the ATV3 can see it and access its Library.
The W7 Desktop is hard wired directly to the WRT610N Router. Home Sharing is enabled (all the same account) yet the ATV3 nor my W7 HP Laptop can see it or its Library contents.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what my problem might be (apart from using Windows )?

Are you sure you're not double natting, creating two separate networks.
To configure the AEBSn as an access point, you need to turn connection sharing off under AirPort Utility>Internet>Internet Connection>Connection Sharing. You also may have to change other settings in this section.

Cannot see uploaded video, only sound

When I upload videos off my video camera, they playback a black screen, but i can hear the sound still. How do I get the video's to show?

Open the file using QuickTime Player and open the Movie Inspector window to tell us more about them.
My guess is AVI container or older codecs.

Macbook Air cannot see Wifi but iPhone, iPad, and boot camp Widnows can

I just started living in an apartment with a shared wifi router. I have no control over this router and i'm fine with that since I'm just with my girlfriend here and don't have a lot of other uses for it other than simply downloading stuff and using a computer.
The problem is that literally every device I have (iPad, iPhone) can see and connect to the wireless network. Oddly, my Macbook Air 2013 cannot see this network. Some days I am actually able to connect and it works fine but then it'll just disappear and I cannot find it again. I have bootcamp installed on the Macbook Air and when I switch to Windows I can see the network and can connect with no problems.
I don't understand why the Mac OS side of things fails to even see the network when this is one of the devices with probably the most powerful network card considering it's 2013 and even has the ability to connect to ac wireless signals.
Any suggestions? I would prefer to use my Mac OS side of things rather than Windows due to battery life at least, among other obvious things.

I FIXED IT!!!!
I reset my airport express (for the umpteenth time) but this time I did a manual setup instead of going through the assistant. Changed the Channel to 10 (I am surrounded by other wifi networks using 1 and 11, so I just picked anything but 1 or 11) and configured it for 802.11g only (it defaults to b/g on the setup assistant).
So far, no problems, and both MBA and MBP connect.
I would guess this has started to happen recently due to one or both of
- recent Lion updates
- additional wifi networks popping up in my apartment building causing some kind of interference
That's my layman conclusion anyway.
Thanks for all your help! I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Locked down computer (means I cannot see network settings) allows IE6 but Firefox always times out.

The tech guys have locked down the computer and I cannot see the network settings and have no access to the registry. Firefox always times out so I am forced to use IE6. How to set up Firefox to get round this?

Presumably, you're talking about your company's administrator. It probably wouldn't be wise to try and circumvent their network policy. It might get you fired even.
A better idea would be to show them how insecure IE6 is - ''it's no longer supported by Microsoft for example and exposes their network to all kinds of attacks'' - and that it's in their own interests to use a secure browser like Firefox 4.0
Maybe they'll even promote you!

Can't see wireless network with Windows Vista

I have the Airport Extreme N and two PCs, one with W XP and one with W Vista. Everything works fine with the XP PC. On the Vista PC, I can connect to the network with LAN, but I can’t see the wireless network.
The W Vista PC can identify other networks around the block, so the Broadcom 802.11g network adapter seems to work fine. The wireless runs on channel 13, which is OK for the XP PC. I have installed the latest update for the Airport Extreme.
Any suggestions to what I can do to get the W Vista PC working on wireless?
Best, Kasper

Hi,
I also have the same problem.
My belkin wirelss router is set to channel 13, therefore my macbook cannot see this network when it search's, for the above reasons.
However unlike the situation above I am unable to change from channel 13 as we have discovered in the past that this is the only channel that is not in use by other networks around our area. The rest gave us interferance troubles.
I have a number of windows laptops in the house and there is a setting that you can change so the laptop will search for channel 13. I was wondering if anyone is aware of a setting on the macbook that will make the airport card search for 1 - 13 not just channels 1 - 10 as it is now.
I thought I would add this question to this topic as it is very similar. I hope I was correct in doing so.
Thanks,
Josh

Wirelss drops out - can no longer see any networks

Hi all, I have searched for other threads with similar problems but I could not find one exactly like mine.
Recently I have had problems where I have been surfing on firefox, and then all of a sudden it has automatically switched to "Work Offline". I then check my airport status and it is not connected to my network. When I turn airport off, and then on again, it then cannot see any network at all. I have to restart my computer.
Any ideas?
