No access point name on E51

i have already configured Access Point named MI. I use it to browse internet and many applications.
Whenever i open Nokia Internet Radio Application it does not show MI Access point but only shows Easy WLAN.
Can you help me to fix this

Big change some other app is using the connection at the same time.

How to change access point name

Need to know how to change access point name for straight talk on iPhone 4

There are several other threads here about doing this, or you can look up the "sim swap" method, documented here: http://www.jgmedia.biz/how-to-get-data-and-mms-working-on-straight-talk-iphone-4 -and-iphone-4s-on-ios-6-updated-sim-swap-method/. This does require temporary access to a T-Mobile or Simple Mobile SIM/Micro-SIM card.

Access point name

Hi. I can't seem to find access point name (apn) on my Nokia Lumia 1520 since the 8.1 upgrade. So I can't access my data. Please help.
Solved!

That option is located in Cellular+SIM as well. If not present, your firmware variant has this feature disabled (and you should be on automatic mode). To determine you firmware variant: In the Nokia Software Recovery Tool, what is your 7-letter code (Nokia Product Code)? No Windows computer or USB: The same code is printed on your phone. That code determines your firmware variant which determines your current version. We can check together whether you have the correct variant, only with that code.

HT5163 where do I find the Access Point Name?

I have a iPhone 4s and changed my sims card, the new provider instructions are to change my "Access Point Name" to get date

Is the device unlocked?
If it is carrier locked, the APN settings are not accessible.

HT201328 Error after unlocking - need to reset data settings Access Point Name

Hi -
AT&T unlocked my phone few months back. I restored the phone and got "iphone unlocked message". After inserting the new SIM card, I cannot get on the cellular network. I think I need to reset the data settings access point name. However I am unable to access this option. Can someone help?
Thanks

I had the same problem and I fixed it as following (See if it's the same case for you) :
1. Goto Tools > Options.
2. Under Advanced, select the Network Tab.
3. Click on Settings in the "Connection" box (open connection settings).
4. Check if "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL" is selected. If it is so, select "No proxy" instead or manually enter your proxy if you are using one.
The option "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL" was the culprit for me and some others as well and selecting "No proxy" instead cured our problems. It is a bug and has already been reported on Bugzilla as you can see here :
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734828

Is Access Point name and cluster name same, if we have only 1 access point ?

if we have only 1 Access Points, will the name of access point be same as the cluster name ? can i create more then 2 cluster on same role ?
sid

Hi sid,
You can not create a role same with your cluster name, it will cause the DNS resource confilect.

Packet Data Access Point Names vs real data server...

I am trying to activate an application that requires GPRS.
I currently can get EGPRS and assume that will do the same but faster. But I have a question that may not pertain to this but as I am new at this I will ask it here. From reading I see that the settings of packet data appear to have more to do with setting up phone as a modem to use. So I don't know truly if this has any bearing on my problem with the software registering to complete the setup of it.
However my web access which is unlimited month to month internet access which allows me to go anywhere on web (not a walled garden) also uses this GPRS or EDGE version of GPRS. I am in the USA with T-Mobile. Phone is set to use GSM. The screen where it concerns connectivity says that I have Access Points which were configured by T-Mobile sms file they sent me twice. I actually have 5 names under Access Points.
1)MMS = wap.voicestream.com
2)T-Mo WEB = Internet.voicestream2.com with small i in settings
3)T-Mo WEB(01) - this from 2nd sms copy same
4)T-Mobile Internet = Internet.voicestream2.com with small i in settings too.
5)t-zones this is their wall garden = wap.voicestream.com
ok since I can browse the web anywhere and download the application I don't know why I cannot register it. But it states it needs an internet connection before activation through authentication, or basically registering it to use.
So I am trying to do this after verifying that I have an internet connection with the too connection arrows symbols on phone screen showing internet connectivity with E over them currently by starting a browser first as the application doesn't seem to do this for me when trying to activate it.
E
--> where the lines are solid. Ok here is my issue here.
The arrows are not coming up correctly in this forum anyway I get what shows I have EGPRS connectivity, I don't know if the application is sensitive to using GPRS only but will find out. I doubt it. The GPRS would show the arrows with an antennae above. I am talking about the indicators from what the pdf and book say.
Below Access Points on the menu in settings for connection is Packet data.
Packet data has to variables
1) when needed , or when available
2) Access point
Access point is blank. Should I enter one of T-Mobiles names in the list above this under Access Points such as
T-Mobile Internet or should I put the server name in specifically internet2.voicestream.com?
I set the Data Call setting to Unlimited to make sure if its using this process it doesn't turn off after the 5 minute default on the next setting.
Any ideas why this gprs app is not activating itself and making the gprs internet connection with the pin I was provided? I had to use the pin just to download it and install it.

that will work. You only need to change if you need to have always on (highly unlikley) or if you are using modem dial up and need to specify access point for that.
If you using Nokia One Touch access then you don't even need to define access point in this menu as that application will take care of it for you.
All other network aware applications will use access point settings as defined in settings menu.

Access-Point Names in Site Survey 7921 / 7925

In some of our facilities, I'm able to see the AP name in my survey tool of my 792x phone. Yet in others, I only see the MAC address. Am I missing a WLC configuration somewhere that allows this to appear on my phone?

Thanks for the reply. Functionally, the phone works throughout the entire building and I'm only referring to 1 internal SSID used by the phones in my scenarios described below.
We have a multi-floor building. One some floors of the building, while using my 7925, I'm able to view the AP name. Yet - on other floors of the same building, I see only the AP MAC address.
We have floors mapped to specific WLCs. So floor 1 will be mapped to WLC 1, floor 2 will be mapped to WLC 2....etc. So it must be a setting with the WLC that publishes the AP name to the phone.

Trouble changing the APN (Access Point Name)

Hi I recently changed the carrier from Vodafone to Digi Mobile (a local provider) and along with it I purchased from a third party vendor a BB Q5. The problem started when I tried to access the internet. While following the instructions I entered the "Mobile Network" menu then "settings" then "APN Settings". I was told that I should change the default line "blackberry.net" with the password provided by the new carrier but the default line is greyed and cannot be changed . Does anyone had experience with this and can help. Much obliged

Are you able to contact the third party vendor for assistance? I'm not too familiar with it but if the phone locked to Vodafone you could call them too to see what the options are (or get the vendor to do it)
Digi Mobile may be able to assist but I would check with the vendor first, then Vodafone.

Newly installed OS 10.3.1.1565 - Where have all my Access Points gone?

I have a 2 access points at home, 1 is my original modem, and the other is my Dual Channel Netgear router. This provides access points on the 2.4Ghz channel and on the 5Ghz channel - all of which you can give different access point names and security passcodes if you wish. On top of this, there's also provision for a guest account on each band, which again can be named anything you want.
Anyway, before my Z10 automatically download and installed OS10.3.1.1565 last week, my phone could see and report all 5 of my access points (via Wifi Analyser). Now, with this O.S., it refuses to report all 5 access points and will only display the AP that's connected. It does however show me all my neighbours AP names. It just hides my 4 idle APs - as presumably it knows they're all part of the same network. I've tried various WIFI analysers but they ALL behave in the same manner. This appears to be a function of the phone's O.S.
As I walk around the house, the phone does drop the weak AP and suddenly discover and report my alternate AP - though It's very cumbersome. I liked being able to see all of my APs on WIFI Analyser as it helped build confidence that I had reasonable coverage around the house. Now with this O.S. I feel like I've lost 4 access points.
I don't understand why my phone now disregards 4 of my access points and doesn't display them through any of the WIFI Analyser tools. My various other devices around the house (all running WIFI Analyser) report the signal strength of all 5 access points. I've tried toggling the 'Inter Access point Handover' setting, as well as enabling IPV6, but to no avail. I hope this isn't the design intent, and that one day I can view all 5 of my APs again.

Completely disappeared. Not listed in the Networks and Connections screen.
This just lists the currently connected Access Point. WIFI Analyser does the same - it appears that 4 of my access points don't exist.
That is until I walk out of range of the connected AP, and the phone suddenly displays the next AP and hides the previous one.
Before this update, I could see all 5 APs from anywhere in the house (albeit at various signal strengths)

AIR-CAP1602E-N-K9 access point

hi,
can any one help me to configure AIR-CAP1602E-N-K9 as standalone acess point.
its a new one with default setting as per my knowledege its a controller based access point so pls help how to convert into standalone access point and which image is compatible with that.

Converting a Lightweight Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode
You can convert an access point from lightweight mode back to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS Release that supports autonomous mode (Cisco IOS release 12.3(7)JA or earlier). If the access point is associated to a controller, you can use the controller to load the Cisco IOS release. If the access point is not associated to a controller, you can load the Cisco IOS release using TFTP.
Note In some LWAPP deployments, the LWAPP controller resides between the access points and the rest of the network. In this topology, all traffic must cross over the controller before communication with network resources, such as a TFTP server, can occur. When converting back to non-LWAPP IOS with an access point that is no longer using the LWAPP protocol, traffic does not cross over the controller to reach the TFTP server.
Note The lightweight 1300 series access points can only be converted back to autonomous mode using a wireless LAN controller.
Using a Wireless LAN Controller to Return to a Previous Release
Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode using a wireless LAN controller:
Step 1 Log into the CLI on the controller to which the access point is associated.
Step 2 Enter this command:
config ap tftp-downgrade tftp-server-ip-address filename access-point-name
Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
Note This section does not apply to Cisco C3201WMIC and Cisco C3201LAP.
Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release using a TFTP server:
Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs should be between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30.
Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated.
Step 3 Set the timeout value on the TFTP server to 30 seconds.
Step 4 On the PC where the TFTP server is located, perform these steps:
a. Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, McAffee firewall, or others.
b. Ensure all Windows files are visible. From Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > View; then uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types check box.
Step 5 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point, and c1250-k9w7-tar.default for a 1250 series access point.
Step 6 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Step 7 Disconnect power from the access point.
Step 8 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 9 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
Step 10 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
Step 11 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.

Showing duplicate wifi access point in N82

Hi,
i have a weird issue with my N82 wifi, hopefully i can explain it correctly..
my problem is when i connect to a new wifi, it will always shown 2 access point in the wifi list.. what's weird is that the duplicate wifi access point name is the last wifi point i connected... and if i remove one of the access point from the list, both will be gone..
so for example in steps:
1) i first connect to 'ABC'
2) i remove 'ABC'
3) i connect to 'CDE'
result is in access point list, it will show
'ABC'
'CDE'
if i selecet 'ABC', it's actually connects to 'CDE'.. and if i delete either one of them, both will be gone.
4) i delete 'CDE' (both are now gone)
5) i connect to 'CDE' again
the result is it will shown:
'CDE'
'CDE (1)'
again, if i delete either one of them, both will be gone.
so any idea? WIFI still works, but a bit agnoring..
thanks in advance

If I understand the situation, with an Ethernet connection for the Airport the wifi component is free to act as an access point. But one Airport device cannot act as a wifi receiver and as an an access point.
That is correct. A single Express in this situation would act as a Wi-Fi "receiver," but will only provide an active Ethernet connection for wired clients. You will need a second one to create the wireless network.
Again, this is because you typically won't have administrator access to the RV park's wireless router AND, most likely if you did, it wouldn't be another Apple router. The option I provided should get you around both of those facts ... and should work at other locations with the same wireless setup.

Scale out file server client access point using public nic

Thoughts on this one.
I have a Scale Out File Server cluster with a Client Access Point. Whenever i talk to the Client Access Point it uses the public nics.
If i talk to the Scale Out File Server directly it uses the private like i want it to. How can i get the Client Access Point using the private nics?

Hi JustusIV,
Could you tell us why you want to modify the CAP use the “private” network, the CAP is used for client access, your clients may can’t access your cluster if modify your CAP
use private network, if you want know how to modify the CAP of a cluster you can refer the following KB:
Modify Network Settings for a Failover Cluster

Error when trying to modifyaccess point name in WCS

When attempting to modify the Access Point name in WCS we receive the following error:
You must correct the following error before proceeding:
Error: Global Username and Password are not configured on the associated controller. Please configure username password on the associated controller before disabling 'Override Global Username Password
Currently we have 4 wisdoms controlled via WCS, above credentials requested in the error are not applied anywhere throughout the system.
WCS version is Version 5.1.64.0

you need to have defined AP access uid/pw credentials. Here are the commands for 4.2 and later, that add an enable secret too. I hope it may help you

[script] create_ap: Create a NATed or Bridged WiFi Access Point

This script use hostapd + dnsmasq + iptables to create a NATed Access Point OR hostapd + brctl + dhclient to create a bridged Access Point.
The default behavior is a NATed Access Point.
updated script will be here: https://github.com/oblique/create_ap and http://git.2f30.org/create_ap/
Examples
No passphrase (open network):
./create_ap wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint
OR
echo -e "MyAccessPoint" | ./create_ap wlan0 eth0
WPA + WPA2 passphrase:
./create_ap wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
OR
echo -e "MyAccessPoint\nMyPassPhrase" | ./create_ap wlan0 eth0
AP without Internet sharing:
./create_ap -n wlan0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
Bridged Internet sharing:
./create_ap -m bridge wlan0 eth0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
Internet sharing from the same WiFi interface:
./create_ap wlan0 wlan0 MyAccessPoint MyPassPhrase
Usage
Usage: create_ap [options] <wifi-interface> [<interface-with-internet>] [<access-point-name> [<passphrase>]]
Options:
-h, --help Show this help
-c <channel> Channel number (default: 1)

Thank, just what I was looking for.
Unfortunately, it seems that currently my Intel 5300 card (using the iwlwifi driver), does not support AP mode.
From what I understand, hostapd can be used in bridge mode as well, which should have no compatibility problems.
Can some one point me in the right direction?
* EDIT *
After more attempts, I think I got it wrong and AP mode is indeed required.
Sorry for the late reply, I didn't noticed your message.. Did you got any errors? I have Intel 6205 and it works.
Also if you use NetworkManager, then you have to say to NetworkManager to stop using your interface.
You can do it by editing the /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file and put the following (without the <>):
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=mac:<interface's mac address here>
and restart your NetworkManager. Ofcourse after you finish, you have to remove it in order to get your wifi back to working with NetworkManager.

No access point name on E51
