[network]-guest appears in list of available networks

the wowway helped set up linksys router after installing internet service today. i've just noticed that, in addition to that network, available networks also shows [network]-guest. this guest network also says unsecured. i am connected to [network] and it's secured. how can i get rid of the guest network? how did this happen? was something done incorrectly?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think your router supports a Guest network. It may appear as an unsecured network because it doesn’t show the protected/locked image, but it’s actually secured using a different security scheme. Disabling the Guest network depends on the router you are using.
For routers using Linksys Connect software:
   Open the Linksys Connect software, click Guest access, select no under Allow guest accessand then click Finish.
For instructions on disabling the Guest network using the web-based setup page:
   Access the web-based setup page, click Wireless then click Guest Access, select no and then click Save Settings.
To disable Guest Access through Linksys Smart Wi-Fi:
   Log in to your Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Account, click the Guest Access Toolthen set the toggle button to OFF under Allow guest access.

Home cable wireless network doesn't show up in available networks

Hi, I've just arrived in a new apartment with an iBook G4. I travel a lot and am able to easily pick up and connect to wireless networks. The apartment I've moved into has Time Warner Cable service, including a cable modem and a Belkin wireless router. The other three roommates all have PCs and connect just fine. I have looked at their computers, and they are connected to "WLAN", an "unsecured" wireless network. Although I am in very close proximity (i.e. 2 feet), I still CANNOT get the network to even show up on my list of available networks. It shows lots of other networks belonging to other apartments in the building, but it won't show the one for this apartment. I have tried all the other names that DO come up and they are not this one. I called TWC and they said I will have to buy an Airport wireless router if I want it to work with my Mac. Is this true? I don't know why the Belkin-based network wouldn't even *show up* in my list! It's not like it shows up and then I can't connect... it's like it's completely invisible. At the moment, the modem/router are unconnected to any other computer; they're just hooked up to the TWC cable. As an intermediate solution, I unplug the ethernet cable that connects the modem to the router, and then plug it into my computer. It works fine with ethernet connection between the modem and my computer, but I can't get my iBook to recognize the Belkin wireless router.

You DO NOT need an Airport Router. That is a tech person that is pretending to know Apple computers.
Your network might be "hidden" so that others (like your neighbors) cannot see it and use it.
I would check the name of the network on your roomates' computers. The when you try to connect use the choose another network option. You will be prompted to type the network name. Type the name exactly as it appears on the other computers (case sensitive).
If it is truly unprotected that should work.
I could also be Mac Address sensitive which is another issue, but try this first.

TS1398 In "Set Up" I try to select our secured WIFi router from the list of available networks. However, it will not allow me to select it. This then prevents me from going to the next step. What do I do?

In "Set Up" I have tried to select our secured WiFi router from the available list shown. It is listed. However, when I try to select it, it will not check off or remain blue when I lift my touch. This then will not allow me to go on to the next step. What do I do to connect to a secure WiFi router? I do know the WEP Key number but there is no place to type then in.

The trial can only be loaded 1 time as far as I know. You could try http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder, and reboot. Then try an install again, but my guess is you will have to purchase Acrobat at this point.

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of server

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. I have a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of servers and trying to reconnect this way. These methods have worked temporarily, but the same problem keeps coming back. Most of the time my personal wireless connection does not even come up among the list of available networks. My fellow flatmates have PCs and both of them are able to connect to the network without problem.
The router is a d-link model DIR-615. I am not tech savy, so if any other information need to be provided in order to better understand my situation, please let me know.
Please help me!

If I open the list of networks in a window it says "connection timeout," but if I just select it from the drop down it tries for awhile and then stops with no prompt. When I try to run network diagnostics it says "sorry, we can't connect to the internet" (or some solution-free variation of that)

I can sometimes connect to my Wi-Fi network, but sometimes the name of the network doesn't even appear when i try to find available networks. Is it possible that my software is too new for the network?

It may be your router is to old. Good read:

Listing of available Wi-Fi networks.

Hi All,
Is it true that an iPhone device(iPhone 4S or 5) does not necesarily list/show available Wi-Fi network in a given location.
Is it that it first scans for available Wi-Fi netwoks and only when the Wi-Fi networks meets some minimum threshold like signal strength (and likewise other criteria) does it actually show up in the networks list.
It makes sense as there is no point in displaying an network which has very low signal strength (below the acceptable threshold value) where the changes of getting connected are very less.
If what I stated above is indeed how iOS handles Wi-Fi networks, can somebody share some technical docs links (from Apple and others) which confirms the above mentioned behavior.
I spent a lot of time searching for the same but could not find any, hence this thread.
thanks in advance for the help.

You need to ask that question in the developers forums:

Limiting available networks listed in airport menu

Where we live there are many many wireless networks. What bothers me is that all these networks are listed in the airport menu bar. Is there any way to get rid of these so I can easily reach the two networks that we use, without doing all that scrolling thru the others?
Thanks a bunch!

I think I misunderstood your post - (and I'm assuming you're not riding piggy-back on someone else's bandwidth).

The short answer is no. However, if you choose a particular network, Airport will remember your selection and automatically join it the next time you boot up and are in range of that network. So the problem of having to choose a network from a long list does not arise.
Of course, if you don't want to join your last connected network then you would have to scroll through the available networks and choose accordingly.

Win7 "Available Networks" list on logon screen???

Hello. I have an A215-S7422 Satellite running Windows 7. A friend of mine just bought a new Toshiba Satellite (not sure what model, but less than two years old).
The other day I was checking out the newer laptop and noticed that the Windows (not a NIC/WNIC adaptor software version) Network Connection Manager (normally visible by left clicking once on the wireless/wired LAN icon in the system tray) displays on the logon screen before logging in as well as when resuming after a display timeout. I thought this was really handy and searched the preferences to try and figure out how to activate this feature, searched Google, searched and asked Microsoft, and am left to come to Toshiba for help as no one seems to have any info on this ability anywhere else.
I have the latest drivers direct from Toshiba installed for my network adaptors and have been all through the standard Network and Sharing Center options in hopes of finding this capability, but am either overlooking it or it does not seem to be there.
I have installed ConfigFree as well as any other software and hardware pack on the Toshiba site for my machine and OS but none of them seem to enable the function.
Can someone please let me know how this feature is turned on or setup so that I can have my available networks and network connections shown on the logon screen? Also please let me know how to disable this same feature, if it is done differently then enabling it, as my friend actually doesn't want it displayed on the logon screen at all.
Thank you for your help.

I understand that this is not "Toshiba" but the site is through the Toshiba site which means that Toshiba users will be here, and that is what I thought was needed but, after seeing your reply and dedicting some new search time, as well as looking into startup scripts and task scheduler settings, it looks as if I need to head back to Microsoft because I now have the command I need but cant get it to work in either gpedit.msc nor task scheduler during startup, but the command does work in "Run..." as well as at the CMD prompt when I am logged in.
I am using W7 Ultimate so I definitely have gpedit.msc.
As for single sign-on, I do not know for sure but it doesn't seem to have any bearing on this particular idea from what I have read so far. I used your reference of the group policy editor to look for more info and after changing a word or two in my seasrch, finally started seeing a couple of results that looked optimistic.
For anyone who views this later in search of the same capability, the command to manually open the Network Status Popup is "rundll32.exe van.dll,RunVAN". If you input this into the run box or a CMD line, the popup will open.
If I find more info, I will post, and Jerry... thank you for pointing me in a better starting direction then I was originally going... much help indeed! If you know how to make this command work at the logon screen, please do tell.

Can not see my Airport in the list of Wifi networks and is blinking organge all the time

Can not see my airport on the list of WiFi networks and is blinking orange all the time. Tried to reset several times.

Do you have a Mac or idevice for setting up the Express? It does require a later utility than is available for windows.
You might be able to setup with the v5 utility in windows but there is no guarantee.
You should use a simple name both for the base and the wireless. eg AEXgen2 base name and AEXwifi for wireless name.. that is if you get access.

I figured I didn't really phrase the question correctly...
I was just wondering why there are so many on the list and the ones that don't have a padlock icon next to them worry me...
I would like to block/disable them.....
The wireless radio picks up and displays all WiFi signals that are openly transmitted. That is to show you the networks available to join. Those that do not have the padlock are unsecure networks, which should not bother you as long as you do not attach to them. Their being open has no affect on your security.
You cannot completely and permanently block their being listed. Just ignore them and don't attach to any unkown networks.

List of Wireless Networks disappear/don't show

I'm having major problems with my Macbook Pro. It has all the latest upgrades for Leopard (just checked again for updates - nothing more available). This was a native installation of Leopard - not an upgrade from Tiger.
When I FIRST start my laptop, it connects to the #1 preferred network. But I have 2 routers at home (and I live in an apartment so there's about 12 networks around me) and I often need to switch depending on which end of my condo I am in (concrete walls suck for signals). Any how this is not a signal issue however, as this problem happens when I am in the same room as my router.
When I click the Airport button on the top, the dropdown menu comes out, and fora split second it displays all the networks. But after about half a second (which is NOT enough for me to find and click another network I need to hook into) the list disappears, and truncates to the one I am already on.
So from there I tried "Join Other Network" and it opens a new window, asking me to enter a Network name and what not. When I click on "Show Networks", it used to display all the available networks, but it displays NOTHING - not even the network I am already connected to, using fast and normal internet.
So basically I need to turn my Airport off, open the preferences, change the order of preferred networks on the list of saved networks, and then turn it on again.
Now here's the killer - 50% of the time, after reconnecting, or after waking up from sleep mode, my laptop will FAIL to find internet connection from any of my two routers (while my roomates are doing fine) even with the proper IP addresses and Subnet masks assigned. it basically looks like a healthy connection but I get no internet browsing, email, MSN, nothing.
So basically every time I move from my living room to my bedroom, there's a 50% chance I need to reboot my computer. And there's a 100% chance I need to stumble around settings to make sure my computer finds the right router.

Try the following:
1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
o Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
o Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
o Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
o Restart, or log out then back in.
3. Add Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
o Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
o Restart or log out then back in.

Network User appearing twice in connection tab under file sharing

I have one of my network users that appears twice under the connected Users tab in the File Sharing service (Lion Server).
It only appears to be happening with one of the users. When they log in they get shown twice with the same IP address although they can have different idle time.
I can not seem to work out what is going on.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.

After a little bit of mucking around I have discovered the duplicate user appears when I mount a network volume (which is also a share) during login using a "mount drive" script. I can disconnect the duplicate user which unmounts the network volume.
Same thing happens when I connect to the server machine through the SHARED listing in Finder as it is set up to use my network account to connect. ONce again I can disconnect which simply umounts the shared access.

Getting the lock symbol to show up in list of wireless networks

Hi all. Whenever I go to the top of my display and click on the airport symbol to see the list of wireless networks available, I always have to click each one individually to see if it is secured or not. I saw a friend's macbook and he has little lock symbols next to each network name in the dropdown list. How do I get this to show up??

I have my own network that's secured and still no lock symbol. My friend's computer shows lock symbols for other random networks he can connect to if he need the passwords. I think there is an option to click somewhere I am not finding?
