Netgear Macbook Pro

My problem is: I have a Netgear 614 for all home (2 toshiba notbooks, iPhone, xbox) and for Macbook Pro, all other devices works very good, but MacBook Pro connects to wirelles and to the internet, but 5x-10x slow the ohers.
It worked fine for 2 weeks and just starting giving this problem, already reinstalled a fresh installtion os mac os x Snow Leopard and it continue with problem. If I plug the network cable to the Macbook without using the Netgear it works fine as the others.

Macbook Pro 13'' late-2011 not connecting to Virgin Media netgear wi-fi router

Having recently bought myself a shiny new macbook pro 13'' running the very latest Lion OS it was really disappointing when I started experiencing wi-fi issues. A google search from my PC (which was still connecting fine) uncovered a load of threads and posts about Macbooks not playing ball with third party routers. There were loads of workarounds suggested and I didn't know where to start.
My macbook had connected fine for the first couple of weeks but then wi-fi started dropping in and out, internet and iTunes we really slow and kept freezing, macbook said it couldn't connect to network ("connection timeout") and even told me my network password was invalid (which it wasn't).
I called the guys at Apple Care and they were great. After 1/2 hour on the phone I had changed the DNS so the two addresses showed: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. (under advanced network options) then manually logged into my netgear router and changed the channel to 11 (it was on Auto) and it's now all sorted. I'm not a technie by any means but Apple Care talked me through everything. Just give them a call and it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

If the MBP was purchased within the last year take it to the Apple store
or contact Apple. There are few threads in this site dealing with the same issue.
There is no single sure shot step to correct this problem.
May be you can go through those discussions and find a solution.
Best.

Connecting airport extreme, netgear dsl modem, windows 7, and Macbook pro

I'm having a problem connecting my airport extreme to my netgear modem, windows 7 pc and my Macbook Pro. Until a few days ago, I had a Westell wireless dsl modem and everything worked fine. Now, the only way I can connect to the internet is through my desktop pc and the hardwired modem.

If your goal is to extend/boost the range of your Netgear router with either or both of the AirPorts, this will not work wirelessly ... at least, not completely by wireless. That is because, WDS is not standard and each manufacturer has had creative license to implement it as they see fit for their products.
Instead, you have at least two other choices to use the Netgear (as the main Internet router) with the AirPorts:
Connect one AirPort directly to the Netgear by Ethernet, and then, configure both AirPorts for an extended wireless network. In this configuration, you would be running two separate wireless networks; one created by the Netgear, and the second the extended network created by the AirPorts.
Connect both AirPorts directly to the Netgear by Ethernet, and then, configure all of the routers for a roaming network. In this configuration, there would be a "single" wireless network where wireless network clients can literally roam from one router to another and still be on the "same" wireless network.

IMac20" (g) MacBook Pro (n) Netgear (Draft n)

So I have an intel 20" iMac, a 15" MacBook Pro which I have paid the $2 to get the n on, and a Netgear wireless router with a Draft N on it. When I network the two computers together wirelessly and try to transfer files I literally am getting about 1 meg a minute in transfer speed. I would actually be faster for me to upload the files to my idisk from the one computer and download them on the other.
So I'm looking for someone who's smarter than me to give me a suggested place to start. The Netgear site is worthless. I'm thinking it's a router setting.

Netgear DG834GT Wireless Conectivity Issues with MacBook Pro

Just purchased a Macbook Pro (my first MAC !!!) and I can't get it to connect wirelessley to my Netgear Router using any of the encryption options. I connect using WEP to my Windows Notebook and can connect the MAC using the cable but need to connect wirelessly . Help please in words of one sylable

Can it connect with WEP or WPA disabled? Don't worry a band of rogues will not descend on you for the 5 minutes you check that out. Diagnose if it works at all first. If you have then say so.
Try preceding the WEP key (which I presume is F6D3A0C2...etc.) with a $ sign.
Note WEP can be broken in under 5 minutes so you are using really poor security. WPA works on your mac and is so much more secure, and the pass phrase (e.g. my dog spot and cat harry have blue feet) are easy to remember and type in.

Macbook Pro w/retina and Netgear router hurdle

I have a macbook pro w/retina OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 and have been using a NETGEAR router for my home wifi network. Now I find myself having to reset the router which requires an ethernet connection, which of course, my system does not have. Anyone know of a work-around? And please don't simply tell me to get the airporter, and other apple hardware. Sorry but at the moment those items are not affordable and the Netgear Router was a birthday gift and new. All functions have been running smoothly until roommate moved out, changing all passwords and other settings in the router and not bothering to inform anyone of the changes. So I have to reset and reconfigure the router. Both tech support and manuals say to do so requires an ethernet connection, which I don't have...

Can you afford a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter? A bit over $28.50? If so, you could probably use a small inset button on your router to reset to factory settings and then take control of the router via Ethernet.
Just a thought...

Can't connect to netgear wifi with macbook pro

I have a Netgear N900 router and although I can find the signal I cannot connect to the wifi. Each time I clicked on it, it would fail to connect and say to move closer to the router. However the router has already been upgraded to make the signal strong enough to reach my room. I have tried restarting the router and it has not worked. I have gone into the router through my browser and reserved an IP address and changed my network settings on my computer to "using DHCP with manual address" and entered the reserved IP address. I restarted my computer but now my macbook pro says that it is connected but I can't connect to the internet when i open a browser. I'm not sure if I'm not reserving the IP address correctly or if there is another solution to this problem. If anyone has encountered this problem and found a solution that would be amazing. I have been trying for a month now to fix this. Thanks!

Having trouble on setting up a MacBook Pro to a Comcast Netgear router?

Has anyone else had a problem connecting a MacBook Pro laptop to the internet via a Comcast netgear router? Are there step-by-step instructions to do this - thought this should happen automatically, but it is not?

Hi,
As I understand, you would like to add custom refiner to refinement panel in search.
From the screenshot, you intended to add vendor name property to search refiner. I cannot find the crawled property in my environment, is it an crawled property converted from custom site column?
Here is an good article for
adding refiner in SharePoint search 2013, and it seems there is not much difference from your process. However, here are the things you could check:
RefinableString00 is in TEXT type, please make sure it matches your vendor name column.
Please try mapping all crawled properties related to vendor name to RefinableString00 and test the issue again.
Please try make managed property searchable as well.
You could also try your process on other default managed property and see if it works.

Macbook Pro won't operate with Netgear wireless router

In my setup, the macbook pro's physical IP address has to be configured in my router and that seems to be entered OK. However, the macbook won't work wirelessly via the router. The router uses 128bit hex WEP key and the macbook at first seems to accept the key even though it fails to function. When I go back to check the settings however, it seems the macbook is requiring a WEP password, not a key. Could this be the cause of my problem? How can I sort out this problem please? TIA .... Greg

First try with out a password. Then try a 10 digit WEP key.

Officejet Pro 8600 - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air will not print

Products:
HP Officejet Pro 8600
Macbook Pro (Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5)
Macbook Air (OS X, Version 10.8.2)
Question:
Why did my Macs initially print fine, but now will not print at all?
Full Story:
I have a wireless network at my house that consisted of a 30mb cable internet, Netgear 900n, HP Officejet Pro 8600, 2 Dell Laptops with Windows 7, a Lenovo Laptop with Windows 7, and Dell Tower with Windows 7 - All printed just fine.
The HP Officejet 8600 was added to my network about 2 months ago.
I added a Macbook Pro and a Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago. Both Macs printed just fine for about a week. Then suddenly they stopped. I spent about 2 hours on the phone with HP Service, and they finally said it must be my router. So I called Netgear. Netgear was useless! They wanted me to agree to charges for services before they would even discuss the issue.
Due to information provided by HP's service support, and because Netgear will not support their product, I promptly purchased a new router - an Apple Airport Extreme.
The Macs recognize the printer, will print if hardwired via a USB cable, but will not print wirelessly to the Officejet Pro 8600. The PCs print fine.
The frustration that is being felt is compound by the fact that the Macs printed just fine with the Officejet Pro 8600 2 weeks ago, and now the printer just shows "idle"... even with a new router. (see image below)
Please help, I appreciate any support.
As a side note, the HP Service rep was very friendly, and definitely tried to support the HP Product, which is much more than I can say about Netgear.
Thank you,
This question was solved.

Hi,
More likely the issue related with Multicast, which Apple devices relies on to communicate with teh device through the network.
First try unplugging the router for 30 seconds.
Plug it back to the power and wait for 2-3 minutes.
Turn the HP printer Off and back On, then check for any difference.
If the same persists, try changing your router configuration as following
Note: the settings below are not related with the HP product, I provide you the steps as a best effor and those are only based on my own knowledge. you may try modifying the router settings at your own risk:
Open the router configuration page (can be found listed as the Default Gateway by clicking the Wireless icon on the printer, then print a network configuration report.
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the Setup option from the menu, then click on WAN Setup.
Make sure to uncheck the box next to Disable IGMP Proxying and Apply the changes.
Click the LAN Setup on the same Setup menu.
Set the RIP Version as RIP-2 and Apply the changes.
Reboot your router and then check for any change.
I hope you may find that information useful, you may also use the user guide below for further information:

MacBook Pro Cannot Connect to Wireless Router

I have a brand new MBP and it won't connect to any non-apple wireless routers
- my computer is 2 days old (it's awesome and I love it accept that I can't get wireless connection at home)
- wireless router: westell versalink model 327 W
- PROBLEM: my mbp will detect the network just fine, but won't connect to it...just times out, it will connect to a neighbors linksys, but cannot load any internet pages, so still not helpful. When I try to connect to the wirelesss router using the network utility it asks for a WEP password, which it never did before because it's an open wireless router. (I know you should always password protect, but it's not my router...I'm just in the same house)
- I had a powerbook G4 and ibooks that have all connected fine to the same wireless network. My dad has an HP laptop that also connects fine
- it only connects to the apple brand airport wireless routers
- it will connect to the wireless router if I plug in the ethernet cord
- I have tried checking the connections, allowing all connections, repairing my disk permissions (even though my computer is only 2 days out of the box), resetting the router, opening the router so no password is needed...NOTHING WORKS!
- I also tried another wireless router (netgear): doesn't work
I've been reading around in some forums and this seems to be an apple and maybe more specifically a macbook pro issue (just by process of elimination). One forum said that it was because of an airport update that basically "breaks" mbp's airport and makes it not accept any non airport wireless connections, apple supposedly is working on a fix but who knows
I'm feeling disappointed and very upset that this is even a problem, especially with how many people I read are dealing with the same issue wit still no solution. My mbp was far from cheap and this just shouldn't be an issue. I'm planning on contacting apple and getting to bottom of this or at least some kind of answer.

- it will connect to the wireless router if I plug in the ethernet cord
this is because there is an actual physical connection between the router and the machine, so the router allows the connection automatically. i believe ALL wireless routers have a "Wireless Access List" in their config. the owner of the wireless router must add any machine or device seeking to gain access to the wireless router. consult your routers documentation on how to access the router from a web page and add your machine. this is usually done by adding the machine's mac address to the wireless access list. i added my 15"mbp and iphone to my netgear wireless router in about ten minutes and have no problem connecting every time.
also, when making any changes in Network Preferences, be sure to "Apply" after any change or adding any wep key. let me know if you have any questions.

MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S Repeatedly drop WiFi

First off I didn't know what category to put this question in because it really is AirPort, MacBook Pro, and iPhone 4S at once.
So I have a different home network setup than most, I have 2 routers on my network. Now before you start pointing fingers, all other devices work perfectly on it. I have two Netgear WNDR3300s, only one is DHCP, UPnP, NAT, etc... And they have separate channels. My family members' iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPod 4, and iPad Mini, all work perfectly on this network at a blazing 20Mbps (Tested using Ookla's SpeedTest Website and iOS App). My iPhone 4S and MacBook Pro continuously drop the wifi signal at random times and I am no more than 5 feet from the nearest router. Here are the details in a less condensed form...
Network:
Cable Modem Arris TG722
v
Cat 5e Cable
v
Router 1 (DHCP, NAT, UPnP, Channels 6g and 157n) Netgear WNDR3300 DualBand Router
v
Cat 5e Cable (Connected to 1 of the 4 LAN ports on BOTH routers)
v
Router 2 (No DHCP, No NAT, No UPnP, Channels 11g and 149n) Netgear WNDR3300 DualBand Router
v
MacBook Pro
iPhone 4S
MacBook Pro
- Mid 2010
- 13 Inch
- OSX: 10.8.5
- Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- Memory: 8GB 1067MHz DDR3
iPhone 4S
- Bought about 3 months after release
- Condition: Like New
Routers
Netgear WNDR3300
Firmware up to date
Non-interfereing channels
Connected via CAT-5e
DCHP, NAT, UPnP only on one.
Something to note is that I do have AirPlay on my network passing through a first gen AirPort Express and second gen Apple TV on an Ethernet CAT-5e connection. I most often drop wifi when streaming to the AirPort Express, however it also occurs at other times. The devices do drop it randomly however, I was streaming music and it dropped 3 hours in when I did nothing.
I consider myself very tech savvy, of course that is opinionated. At this point I am clueless because of the randomness of the connection refusal and how all other devices are ok.
Not sure if I mentioned it but if I try to recconect to the netowkr after it drops it either says "Timed out" on Mac or "Unable to connect" on iPhone.
I am so confused now... If you have any ideas please let me know!
P.S. The two devices operate much better on my network when it only has one router, but I must have 2 for the range and versatility.
If any more information is needed please let me know.

I upgraded to OSX Mavericks and I am still having the same problem on both devices. It is occuring more and more often to the point where I almost broke something .
Something weird to note is that every time it drops, I will try to reconnect. When I do so, it says failiure still, but the new window on Mavericks has the diagnostics button. As soon as I hit that button the wifi jumps right back, working perfectly. (Of course then I will lose it 5 minutes later).
If anyone has any ideas please let me know!!!

Randomly weak/barely functional wifi on Early 2011 Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7.2, out of ideas. Help?

Hey there, boys and girls!
As of August 2011, I am the proud owner of a brand new 13 inch Macbook Pro! Being a tech geek, I have always wanted the opportunity to play with OS X, and I was pretty thrilled by my purchase. However, mere weeks after getting my shiny new computer, the wifi issues started. For no reason at all, it would seem as if my connection was dropped entirely, but checking activity monitor showed that the signal had simply capped off at about 6 kb/s. This issue has continued to randomly strike when I am trying to do something online, and almost always when it is something important. These issues have continued throughout the Fall of this year, and school has kept me too busy to actually get hardcore on this problem. The time has come.
I have read **** near every stinking article on the internet about this problem, and tried every solution that I have seen.
Here is the info I have:
*When the problem occurs, opening activity monitor and choosing "Network" shows a graph that maxes out at 6kb/s, sometimes less. There are characteristic spikes of activity, which are usually between 0 and 2 kb/s. It happens COMPLETELY at random, and for utterly variant spans of time. Sometimes it happens 8 times a day, for hours each time; other times, I get it once a day for about 15 minutes. There is no rhyme or reason to it.
*It happens most frequently on my home network. I am using a Netgear Wireless N router (a new one, at that) which I have configured to serve as wireless router and DHCP server for my Verizon router (on which I have disabled wireless and left essentially as a modem). However, the problem has also occurred outside of my home network.
*It's just my Mac. Every other device connected to the network continues to function normally when the cap occurs.
*Whatever data IS moving when the cap occurs is not user data; in other words, I cannot discern the source of the weak trickle of data that continues when the problem happens. During the problem, I cannot ping in terminal, or use any Internet-connected applications or browsers.
Here are some solutions I have tried which did absolutely NOTHING to resolve the problem:
*Rebooting (duh). Problem remains directly following reboot if it was happening right before reboot.
*Turning wifi off and on again (duh some more)
*Using other browsers/networked applications (also duh)
*Erasing all setting connection files so that they are forced to rebuild (4 plist files in library/preferences/systemconfiguartion)
*Erasing and re-adding networks from the remembered networks list
*Repair disk permissions and disk volume from recovery.
*Reset PRAM
*Keep a terminal window running that just pings a remote server endlessly. This basically cuts off as well when the problem shows up.
No combination of the following worked (and I tried each separately and in tandem, when applicable):
*Change the network location to a custom one
*Set a static IP
*Renew DHCP lease after location reset
I'm basically at my wit's end here. I am technically savvy enough to try basically any solution, but I seem to have run out of options. Does anyone have any solutions I haven't tried? The only other potentially relevant thing I can think of is that I did clone my original 320GB HDD over to a 500GB HDD near the start, but that shouldn't have anything to do with this... right?
I remember being eager to get this machine, but this network plague has me missing my broken-down heap of an old PC. For all it's various shortcomings, was at least able to connect to the **** internet consistently. I thought 10.7.2 would fix the problem... but nope. No help from Apple either. I'm pretty sick of this issue already.
