New Airport Update no longer works with my Verizon supplied DSL WiFi

While at work today (03-28-08) I allowed the new Airport software update to install. This was done over an ethernet connection. I arrived home, my Macbook will not recognize the Westel DSL modem/WiFi that I've had for some time and was provided by Verizon. It keeps asking for a password and this is a WiFi set up without a password.
I'm writing this on my wife's Macbook of the same vintage but without the Airport update.
Any suggestions on how to move back to the old version of airport so I can get back to work again? Any chance there will be another update to fix this problem? Help, I don't really want to run an ethernet cable across my house to fix this.
I'm fearing that this is the same problem my father had when he visited with his Macbook Pro with Leopard.

Hi Jeff, i had the same issue after i updated the to the latest airport software install this morning(3/29/08).
I think you're going to have to update your Westell Modem.
Give the following a try, it worked for me.
Go to:
http://netservices.verizon.net/portal/site/msa/?epi_menuItemID=c567d167631f69212 4525d7253295c48&bookmark=helpitem&case=VersaLinkFix
Now look at the model number under the modem itself and download the correct upgrade.
If you download using the mac, you will see a .upg file begin to download. Once its downloaded you have to log into the Westell modem by either the IP address or just by going to http://dslrouter/ .
Then you have to look for the upgrade menu and your going to choose local upgrade and select the .upg file. at that point it will take about 4-5 minutes for your Westell to upgrade itself and start working again with you macbook's wireless.
Hope it helps, Good luck and let us know if it worked for you.

  • Iphone 2.0 update no longer working with Chrysler Uconnect Hands Free

    Hello. I recently downloaded the 2.0 update for my original iphone and it will no longer work with the my Uconnect hands free setup in my 2008 Dodge Ram. I am a Chrysler Dealer Parts Manager and have installed and shown many people how to set these uconnect hands free devices up but I have no connection with the 2.0 update. I pair the phone as a new phone and it will pair but will not show up at all and it says "No Phone". Anybody know a fix for this. Help Apple!!!

    I have a new Dodge Nitro. U Connect and iphone were working great. I had no problems until the 2.0 update. I tried calling apple care but gave up quickly when I realized I was going to be waiting forever with everything else they have going on.
    The weird thing was that I was on a call trying to get some help from a friend of mine and all of a sudden the phone started working with the u connect. Then after leaving and returning to the car it stopped working again. Haven't been able to get it working since. I though maybe you had to be on a call for a while before it would transfer over. That wasn't it.
    I tried turning off wireless too. Again no effect.
    The phone shows that it is paired with the u connect. I've tried unpairing and repairing several times still to no effect. They just aren't working. This is a HUGE problem. I love my iPhone but may have to give it up and switch if they don't come up with a fix in the next month or so.
    Anybody who can help me solve this would definitely move to the top of my Christmas Card List!

  • New airport express doesn't work with Nintendo DS

    I just picked up a new Airport Express. The WEP setting doesn't seem to be standard. Instead it is this Transitional Security Network that doesn't work with the Nintendo DS or the Netgear WG511T card I have. Any ideas on how to get it to work?
    15" MacBook Pro 2.16GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   7200 RPM HD

    yeah, the DS just ***** like that. Nintendo should have given it firmware upgradability.

  • My airport express no longer works with my network

    The airport utility does not recognize my airport express. It was suggested to download Airport utility 5.6.1 but that is no longer compatible with my OS X 10.7.4. Even my iphone sees it but then crashes when it trys to do something with it.

    It's an easy mistake to make, but AirPort Utility 5.6.1 will only run on Snow Leopard and Leopard machines.
    If you want to use the previous version of AirPort Utility, you need to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
    It might be a good idea to perform a Factory Default Reset on the Express and then start over to reconfigure the device. To do this....
    Power off the Express for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button first and keep holding it in for an additional 9-10 seconds as you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow it 45 seconds or so to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    The Express provides a default wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. Make sure that your computer is logged on to this network first....no password is required.....then open AirPort Utility and it will have a good chance to recognize the Express.

  • Update no longer works with Outlook 2002

    I recently updated Itunes as suggested by the software and now I can't sync with Outlook 2002. I have no need for 2003 and am wondering if there is any work around so I can continue to sync? It is not a major issue, since I don't use my Ipod to see my calendar or contacts except when I am out of the country, but it is a minor inconvenience, as I have to print out stuff otherwise.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    No problems at all for me. I hace 02 docks: Apple 3G Dock and a Altec Lansing Speaker/Dock combination (T-612). Both work 100% ok as they did before the update.

  • Airport Extreme no longer working with DSL

    I have a Westell B90 DSL modem connected via ethernet to my Airport Extreme (using DHCP) and the two have happily co-existed for four years. About two days ago, it stopped working. It seems the AE can't get an IP address from the modem. The modem still assigns an IP address and works when connected directly to my Macbook Pro (that's how I am connected now). I also have an Airport Express that I use for music and signal relay. I tried to use it as the base station - that also failed to get an IP address. Help!
    thanks

    Thanks. I was suspicious of Verizon, but I spent an hour on the phone with them yesterday and they swore it was not their fault. Anyway...
    The modem is not acting as a router as far as I know. It is a fairly simple box with just a power plug, phone line jack, usb jack (unused) and the ethernet that connects to the AE. The AE is currently set to distribute IP addresses using DHCP and NAT. We have four laptops in the family and I need them all to work. We live out in the country, so there is no need to be secure.
    Thanks again.

  • 3.0 update no longer works with dock!

    Hi
    Since my iphone 3g upgraded to 3.0 I can no longer use my apple usb dock as the computer does nto recognize the device.
    Why must apple be so annoying?
    Does anyone else use a dock and can no longer? Having it plugged into a cable on my work desk is really ugly and scratches the back! :o(

    No problems at all for me. I hace 02 docks: Apple 3G Dock and a Altec Lansing Speaker/Dock combination (T-612). Both work 100% ok as they did before the update.

  • My iMessage no longer works with the new is07 update how do I fix this

    My iMessage and some of my applications no longer work with the new software update. How do I fix this?

    I called Apple Support after trying many fixes suggested online. They directed me to the procedure on the following page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268?viewlocale=en_US
    I did the erase and restore option they suggested since I had tried a pile of ther things suggested on posts and blogs and they did not work. I even waited the obligatory 24 hours, thus the restore from backup option was what they suggested. I have a 64gig iPhone 4S and it took about 1.5 hours to complete the entire operation seeing that I am using about 54 gigs of that capacity.
    Warning: I lost all of my emails and all of the data files from one of my map programs so be sure you have everything that you really need from your phone store elsewhere before wiping your phone. I thought that the backup on my computer would restore everything but obviously NOT.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

    Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
    5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.
