Netgear router won't let me connect with a network my new roomates use

I have had this problem before connecting to wireless networks, although not all of them. I just moved in with a friend who gave me the network name and password. Although my powerbook G4 sees her network, it shows an error message when i try to connect with the password. She set up the Netgear (WGT624 v3) router using her DELL and everyone else in the house (using PC's) don't have this problem. I'm wondering if we need to go through what she has set up on her computer, because I must have tried everything on mine! Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Hi tracie,
thats OK I know how hard wi-fi is to setup, I've spent many hours in the past trying to figure out how to set mine up! Its usually the simplest of things.
Your MAC address or Airport ID (as Apple call it) is a string of a series of 6 two digit numbers/letters separated by a colon e.g. 00:2b:35:18:af:32
This identifies your Airport card on a network & your address can be viewed in System Pref.s/Network, then from the drop down "Show" menu choose "Airport" & then click the Airport tab that appears in the row of buttons & you should see your Airport card's MAC address (Airport ID). But if you cant find that option don't worry about it.
While your in Network Sys Pref click show port config. & drag the Airport entry to the top of the list.
If you do try WEP again, go to router's
Wireless Settings > Wireless network
& insure the Mode is set to "g and b" just incase.
Then > Security Options & click WEP.
Then in > Security Encryption > Authentication type
set to Shared key
Also > Encryption Strength
set 128bit
After that go down to > Security Encryption (WEP) Key
in Passphrase enter your new password & click the Generate button on the right - this will bring up your HEX key in the checked "Key" box below.
write this new generated key down & click Apply & log out.
Now on your PB open the Airport network entry window, change top box from "WEP Password" to "WEP 40/128-bit HEX"
Then enter the generated key you wrote down into the box below, & click ok/join.
Keep 'em crossed & you "should" join.

Ea3500 won't let me connect with IOS device

When I bought this router, I'm pretty sure I could connect with my ipad. Now, when I try to connect, Safari crashes. So I tried with my iphone - and I get a message saying my browser isn't supported and I must download your frigging APP in order to access the router. READ MY LIPS - I DON"T WANT TO INSTALL YOUR FILTHY APP ON MY DEVICE IN ORDER TO ACCESS A WEB PAGE! Why is it that everyone thinks its ok to dump their lousy app on my device so I can gain simple access to a device? Make it an option if you like but don't force me to install your app. If you don't fix this it'll be the last Linksys device I ever own.

so, I get the usual email from customer service - patronizing and totally ignoring my complaint (included below). I am so tired of first tier responses being TOTALLY DISCONNECTED from the complaint. This one probably was completely automated - which means Linksys/Cisco have a policy of not responding to complaints unless someone really gets irritated.
I won't bore you with details, but I am an electrical and networking engineer that has many years hands on experience with network gear including purchases in the millions from Cisco. I don't need to be told I have to connect my equipment (and my security model) to some discount network company or that I have to give an APP access to my mobile devices in order to access what is literally a web server.
All they have to do is provide a URL for bypassing the mobile check and not put fancy web code in that doesn't run on standard browsers. We don't need MAGIC web pages to manage a router. SIMPLE HTML WILL DO FINE.

E1200 router won't let linux box with static IP access the internet?

I don't believe the linux box is the problem. I can ping it, I can access it through SSH,etc
For the like of me I can't figure out how to get it to access the net.
This is necessary for remote access.
I tried putting the IP address outside the DHCP address pool and setting the IP in reserved IP associated with the MAC address under basic setup. I find this really strange.
Whats the proper way of doing this?

Hi. Are those static IP addresses provided to you by your ISP?
Here's the way to do: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=91dbbf0c772e48b9bebee106abb837c9_3979.xml&pid=80&r...
In the picture below, I placed a yellow mark on the field where you might have typed in your static IP. It should be where it says "Internet Setup". Just click on the drop down arrow and select "Static IP". Just follow the link I provided above and it should be good to go.

Firefox won't let me connect to Dlink page where I can use advance settings for my dlink camera

This is the response I get on Firefox. DLink says the problem is not with their page. I cannot provide you a link for the page because all I have is a tab on my camera software and cannot access the page to see the address. Dlink says there should be an option to proceed anyway but Firefox does not provide that option.
Unable to Connect Securely
Firefox cannot guarantee the safety of your data on 192.168.1.113 because it uses SSLv3, a broken security protocol.
Advanced info: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap

If you click on the details of that page there should be a drop down to add the exception:
* [[Secure Website Certificate]]
*[[What do the SSLv3 error messages mean on Firefox?]]
Disabling blocking ssl3 is not recommended or secure. If you go to about:config and search for ssl3 and ensure all are true this will change that. IF you can find what specific encryption is used in the cert you can choose only one of the ones listed in the about:config page.

My brand new out the box airport extreme won't let anything connect to it.

My brand new out the box 5th gen (2013) airport extreme won't let anything connect to it. I've tried several setups from sratch by the book. multiple resets and restores still nothing. It just keeps telling mt that the password is in correct even though it is 100% right.
My curren set up is as follows. Phone Line -> ADSL2+ router -> Airport extreme. There is also an old airport express running of the router, this was done because the airport extremem was failing to work.
Trying to connect:
2x iPhone 4s
2x macbook air
2x Mac Pro.

You will want the Extreme to be in bridge mode if it is currently disabled. (see image below)
This will allow the ADSL2+ router to perform two important functions for your entire network: 1) Provide both the DHCP & NAT services, and 2) Provide PPPoE support to allow access to your ADSL ISPs network.
If the Extreme is left in its default state, a router, it will conflict with the first item and you will have want is known as a "double NAT" condition. Something you will want to avoid.

HT1338 My iTunes won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I need an updated iTunes, but when I try to download the new iTunes, it says that my Mac software (10.5.8) is too old. However, there are no software updates available. What can I do?

It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

Impossible connecting with wireless network Netgear WNR 2000

I can not log on to my wireless network (Netgear WNR 2000) with my macbook. My other PC:s work fine and connect always. My Macbook only connect after I have restarted the router. When I use my Macbook in other places I can connect with wireless network. What is the problem?

I'm assuming that you're using the right network password! After that, the most common causes of difficulty are:
- The router not set up for DHCP and so cannot allocate an IP address to the MacBook
- The router has "MAC" Address Authentication (a security feature - don't mistake MAC for Mac[intosh]) turned on and the AirPort MAC address isn't in the pass list.
- The default "Automatic" location in System Preferences > Networks has been modified so that it no longer works.

My phone has the correct AppleID in the in settings section but asks me to login with one that isn't mine. I deleted the ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with mine. How do I get my iPhone on the same page?

My iphone4 has the correct Apple ID in the information settings section and asks me to login to my ID most of the time but when I try to update my apps, it asks me to login with an ID that isn't mine. I deleted the wrong ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with my own ID to update apps. How do I get my iphone on the same page?

How did you obtain these apps? All apps are DRM protected & tied forever to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID(account), nor can they be updated using any Apple ID other than the one that was used to originally obtain them.
