Netgear router does not recognise MAC code

MAC code given is 10:60:4B:0C:A2:7A This is not recognised by my netgear dg834gv4 router. I have lates firmware installed. Any ideas? Or is my old router not up to the job?

MAC filtering is totally useless for security.  Just use WPA2-AES and you will have no issues.

  • My netgear router does not recognize my password and i cannot access it with my iphone

    My Netgear DG834PN router does not recognize my user name or password when i try to access WI FI with my iphone.I cannot get wifi on my iphone from this or any router. The router is a wireless and hardwired unit.

    Is your password by any chance in Hex? (all numbers or letters a through f) If so you may be able to translate the hex into ASCII or you could change to an ASCII password. I had to make that kind of change. Good luck.

  • QT does not recognise Key Code

    I have recently suffered a melt down of my whole system and am currently replacing software. I have removed all traces of QT (i think) and downloaded a new free version of QT 7. I have attempted use my key to upgrade to QT7 Pro, but it is not recognised.
    The key was purchased in October 2006. May it now be out of date or could there be another problem?
    To pay another £20.00 for a new key wouldn't be the end of the world!
    TIA, John C

    October, 2006 would be a version 7 registration.
    Name and number must match exactly. Use copy/paste to enter it.

  • My Mac Book pro does not recognise the wi-fi net. How to fix it?

    My Mac Book Pro does not recognise properly the Wi-Fi net at home. I've tried many ways in "preferences", but it realy does not work. When connected in the Ethernet port, it works perfectly.
    Don't have any problems with other computers at home.

    I don't know what you mean by "doing new concessions on DHCP"!!???  Have you tried using a static IP address to see if it works that way?  Have you restricted the range of DHCP addresses available at your router?  If you have maybe the other computers have used up the available range.  Suggest you try a static IP address first, then we'll take it from there.

    Sometimes this happens, because the camera is not properly charged. In that case connect the camera to a charger or use a card reader.

  • Mail on my Mac Does Not Recognise my iCloud Password

    I have transferred to iCloud from MobileMe today.The first problem I have found is that mail is not getting through to my Mac because Mail is not accepting my iCloud ID, I get a message as follows:"The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “mathewson”" I know I have the right password - I have to use it to get onto this site.What can I do?

  • Itunes/app store suddenly does not recognise credit card security codes

    I have been using the same card for my itunes account for as long as i have had an itunes account and a personal credit card, all of a sudden about a week or so ago while trying to update some applications on my iphone it asked me to sign in and confirm my billing information, from that day on it has refused to recognise the security code for my credit card or any other credit card for that matter, has anyone else had a similar issue with billing for their app store/itunes account and if so is this something that can be fixed easily without sending the device out or going to a repair centre
    the most frustrating thing of all is all of the updates i need to install are free updates for applications that were also free :-/
    P.S. I have so far tried re-entering just the security code, the code and the numbers to the left that generally are not required, all the information pertaining to the numerical data on the card, all information in all fields (card and billing address etc.), i even tried using the other phone number for my ATT wireless account as well as my boyfriends mastercard, nothing has worked, it does not recognise the security code even though i know it is correct and has worked for other recent purchases, the odd thing is that unless i enter something wrong it oks all the other information, it's just the security code that always pops a red flag
    the specific error messages i have gotten is "security code is invalid", if my security code is invalid then why has my card worked for every other online purchase i've made recently using that security code exactly as it is printed on my card?

    This also happened to a friend of mine today as well.  Any ideas about what to do about this?

  • Mac does not recognise ipod nano.

    i am using nano for 8 months already.
    it had little problems till this day, and just resetting the nano would help to solve the recognising problems arised in the time being whatsoever.
    but this time i have an exclamation point on a folder on the screen, and it won't go away.
    when i try to connect the nano to my mac, it sees nano as a random hd (namely "apple ipod media"), but does not recognise it as "ipod nano" which we love and cherish when we automatically see it on dt and itunes if it's connected to our macs.
    a pop up comes to my screen when i connect nano to mac, i press initalize, and it opens disc utility. the program doesn't help me for restoring the ipod.
    using ipod updater as a restoring tool doesn't work neither (obviously).
    ...help?

    Try this:
    Windows 8.1, 64bit
    It appears that the 64bit install messed up the device drivers for the Apple mobilie devices connecting as USB.
    I tried many things, I may have missed a step below.  But the following is what I believe was the fix - since it worked on a 2nd PC.
    Make sure you are using an administrator account.  Any of them on your machine will do for the following
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
        - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
        - connect your USB device
        - if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.

  • I recovered my back up via a wired connection. now Time Machine does not recognise older back ups wirelessly and wants to do a first back up

    I recovered a back up from my time machine via a wired connection after getting the 'white screen of death'. Now Time Machine does not recognise any back ups on the time machine when connected wirelessly and wants to do a first back up of the whole machine. How do I get my mac to recognise these older back ups? It connects to the wifi network the time machine creates fine, with the same name and password.

    I recommend the following.
    1. Reset the TC to factory.
    Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
    Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
    Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Note..
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    2. Rename the TC to SMB standard.
    That means short names.. 2-20 characters but less than 10 is excellent. eg TCGenx (use number for x that is actual generation of the TC)
    No spaces.
    Pure alphanumeric. No apostrophe.
    3. Ensure IPv6 is set to link-local..
    Do the same thing for ethernet if that is used.
    4. Manually mount the TC disk in Finder.
    Use Go in the top menu.. connect to server.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname.local (where TCname is your new short name for the TC and local is default domain .. it helps using the domain I found).
    You will then find the computer either can or cannot find the network resource.. if it fails something else is wrong with the actual network and you will need to fix that.
    It will request the password if it is found.. password is public by default unless you changed it.. type in the password and check to keep it in your keychain.
    5. Delete current TM setup and redo it with the newly named TC.
    See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    If your backups cannot be found, try B6 again, now that you actually know that the disk has been properly discovered.
