No TC in device menu but wireless network working?

Ok, this is weird. I've set up my TC and everything seemed to go well but TC didn't show up and rescanning didn't find it. I followed the troubleshooting directions and reset and reconfigured and it did the same thing. 3rd time worked and I have a lovely green light on the front and my wireless network is up and running and I'm online. BUT there is no time capsule in my devices list in the finder!? I'm not sure what to try now. I also tried a drive in the USB port and even tough the network is working, that's not showing up either.
Any ideas? Many thanks

Yep - It took me THREE attempts to get the TC configured correctly. I also was forced to reset TC back to factory defaults to be able to get it finally configured on the third attempt.
I did all my configuration attempts using the GbE port of the TC and did not use the WAN port at all - although the AirPort Utility kept telling me I should be using it. Go figure.... Weird....

HPM1212nf MFP i can't scan but wireless network works fine for printing

i have the MFP set up fine for printing over a wireless network. Any idea on what more i need to do to get the machine to accept a scan command from the computer using HP Laserjet Scan?

Hi there @bc123!
Thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
I see that your having a communication issue with the HP LaserJet when it comes to scanning to the computer, and I would be happy to provide you with my assistance.
A good place to start when troubleshooting scanning is to ensure the CD was installed correctly on your computer. If the CD is unavailable then I can provide you with a link to the HP driver download: Drivers & Downloads
In the link provided you will want to:
1.enter your printers model number and click GO
2.select your printer model
3.select your operating system and click NEXT
4.Click on Driver - Product Installation Software (‏1)
5.Click DOWNLOAD next to the full feature software
To provide you with a more direct link to your software and to better assist you, would you please provide me with the following information:
1. What operating system version the computer is running (ex. Mac, Windows, etc.).
Bellow are 2 links I located from HP and Macintosh on how to locate your version of operating system.
Which Windows operating system am I running?
Finding the OS X version and build information on your Mac
2. If the computer is running Windows I will need to know what version (ex. 32-bit or 64-bit).
I have provided another link from the HP web site showing you how to check if its 32-bit or 64-bit
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
3. Laserjet model number (ex. P1102w, CP1025, etc.).
Please post back with the requested information, as well as the results of your troubleshooting.

Question about how wireless networks work

Hello,
This is more of a general question rather than one that is specific to the airport. I have a network with an Airport Express with wireless n, a Macbook Pro with a wireless n card, and a printer that has a wireless g card. Someone told me that because I have a wireless g device on my network that I will never get wireless n speeds even when using my computer to do things besides printing because the network is only as fast as its slowest device. Based on this, if there is a computer on my network that has a wireless g card then everyone on the network can only get wireless g speeds even if the others have wireless n cards.
It was always my understanding that I could not get n speeds when using the printer but I thought that if I were using my computer to connect to the internet, download, upload, etc. (things that have nothing to do with printing and don't require the printer) then I should be able to get wireless n speeds.
I was wondering if someone could explain how wireless networks work. Thanks in advance.

The simple answer is that having 802.11g (i.e. 54 Mbit/s) clients on an 802.11n network will NOT slow down the 802.11n clients.
However, 802.11g works only in the 2.4 GHz band, whereas 802.11n also works in the 5 GHz band, which is potentially much faster. So if you require compatibility with g devices on an AirPort Express, it decreases the potential maximum speed of the n devices, because you have to operate in the 2.4 GHz band. But this slowdown occurs whether or not g devices are actually connected to the network.

Why are all my devices acknowledging my wireless network through my time capsule, but only one is able to connect to the internet?

This started when I changed the port for cable modem access. If I shut everything down- router, MacBook, and iPhone and restart the router... the device I turn on first will connect to the internet. The second device will read the wireless network but if you attempt to connect to the internet- it states no internet connection is available. Is this a security feature I enabled unknowingly? Very frustrated.

You are using your TC in the wrong way.. in bridge and it has to be in router mode.
Simply make sure you connect SB5100 to the WAN port of the TC.
Go to the airport utility, manual setup, internet tab on the bottom and choose connection.. ethernet.. and down the bottom connection sharing.. share a public IP.. sorry I don't have the exact wording as my TC is in pieces being fixed.
Update and then shut off everything again, particularly the modem.. start everything in order.. modem.. wait 2min.. then TC.. wait 2min then all the computers .. they will get an IP from the TC. With correct address and gateway.
What was happening is the first device to turn on was capturing the one and only public IP. The rest get local IP without connection.

Wireless devices can see wireless network but not connect

Can anyone please assist? I have a WRT54GS v2. My wired computer accesses the Net fine and I can see MAC address, IP Address, DNS, subnet mask, default gateway in the linksys browser software. The devices can see the network with strong bars but cannot connect.
HELP!
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is possible that the router could have encountered some wireless interference, doughboy17. You may try adjusting the wireless channels of the router. Use channels 6, 3, 1 and 11. Have you tried checking if you still have the correct Wi-Fi password?
If you have the correct network settings, try requesting for the firmware file and perform an update. That might help in resolving this matter. Or, you may proceed on doing a factory reset and configure the router again.
Help, learn and share

I have been using 3 devices with my wireless network, and suddenly none of them work. I've tried turning off the modem and router but that hasn't fixed the problem.

I've been using iPhone, iPad and MacBook with my wireless network, and suddenly, none of them will connect. The first sign I had that there ws a problem was when I was asked multiple times to re-enter the password, but regardless of how many times I did so it wasn't successful. I've tried turning off and on the moden and router but that doesn't help. Suggestions please?

go into the routers setup and redo the setup like it have disabled the whole wifi system
how you set it up depend on the router you own consult the manual or go to the router maker's website

Airport Express wireless network works fine, but won't connect to Internet

I had a power outage and since then my Airport Express doesn't connect to the Internet although everything else seems to work. I can see the AE just fine in the Airport Utility. My computer connects to the wireless network provided via the AE, so does my iPhone, so does my wireless printer, and I can print wirelessly from the computer to the printer, so the AE's wireless networking is working. If I directly connect my computer to the ethernet connection that I use for the AE, it connects to the Internet, so I have wired connectivity to the Internet. But somehow, I can't get to the Internet using the wireless network of the AE. Any suggestions on what I should try next?

Hi there,
Try to reset your Airport Express (AX), y pressing the little dot on the back of device. Keep pressed for some seconds until it flashes. Start then your Airport Utility and go through the setup process again. This will reset your whole wireless network. This may work for you. Good luck.

Apple Devices Dropping Off Wireless Network

Hello, I have recently deployed a wireless network using a WLC 2504 with 21 Light APs. All seems fine except that
Apple Devices drop their connections every 15 minutes or so. A couple of minutes later they can reconnect but
obviously something is wrong.
Many Thanks

Only Apple device exhibit this kind of behaviour?
What kind of Apple devices? Mac laptops? iPad, iTouch, iPhone?
Have you seen this behaviour from, say, non-Apple devices? Android? Windows laptops?
What are the signal strengths when this happens?
Do you have Aironet IE enabled?
How far are the clients from the WAP(s)?

I'm having a problem connecting my BlueRay DVD player and other non-Mac devices to my wireless network. Is there a limit on the number of devices I can connect to my AirPort? I never have a problem connecting an Apple device (AirBook, iPad, etc).

I'm having a problem connecting my BlueRay DVD player and other non-Mac devices to my AirPort Express network. Is there a limit on the number of devices I can connect to the wireless network? I never have a problem connecting a new Apple product (AirBook, iPad) and even a basic laptop. Thanks for your help.

The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) can support up to ten (10) simultaneously connected Wi-Fi clients.

Wireless network working, but airpot setup assistant was not done

hi there!
i was trying to set-up my wireless network using an airport base station.
i have a DSL connection with our PC & AOL is the ISP.
when i was setting the airport setup assistant, it said that i was using a PPPoE, so i entered my ISP, user name & password & finished with my setup. but i cannot connect to the internet & my AOL on the PC signed off & when i try signing on again, it cannot. so, i reset my airport base station. my AOL on the PC worked & so as my wireless network. i also downloaded the AOL for mac OS X since i read at the support page that AOL has difficulty working or connecting with mac OS X. then i tried using the airport admin utility to configure the base station. when i finished with it, everything is still ok.
so is it ok that i did not use my airport setup assistant as long as my network is configured (using airport admin utility) & my wireless network is working?
thanks for your time.

Yes, absolutely! Both utilities access the AirPort base station's settings. You can think of the AirPort Setup Assistant as the "quick & easy" setup method, with the AirPort Admin Utility aimed more at doing "manual" or "fine-tuning" type of setups.

Time capsule disappears from network but wireless still works

Is this a common problem?

you could be suffering from wireless interference.
perhaps one of your neighbor's wireless networks is interfering with yours. download iStumbler and note the channels other networks in the vicinity are broadcasting on.
change the channel your network is using as far away as possible from those.

2. Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections : Under this, when I list all the connection, the Ethernet connection is showing it as Enable.
3. When I unplug the network cable, at Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections, I see the status as Cable Unplugged..
4. I downloaded the latest driver and installed, but didnt change this behavior.
How can I fix this ethernet issue. Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thanks,

Yeah, it is listed under the Device Manager.
I see one potential error under the event viewer. Thank you for that pointer.
The IP address lease 192.168.0.11 for the Network Card with network address 00216A1A24B2 has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.0.1 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).
Any idea why this is coming???
I get that exact same error when I change my MAC address and my computer is trying to connect to my router.
This message is probably just the result of your computer not recognizing your Ethernet Adapter.
I have never had this problem and am just shooting in the dark, but I would say you either have a bad Ethernet card, or your Adapter is not configured correctly.
I keep wanting to go back to your adapter in the Device Manager.
Is the Device Status "This Device is working Properly"?
Under Power Management, is the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" unchecked?
Are you downloading the drivers from Lenovo's website?

Have your tried Uninstalling the adapter, and reboot.
Your system may automatically reinstall the adapter. If not, you can manually reinstall it.

5th generation AEBS not working on 2.4, but 5 network works great.

So...for 3 months, I had a very successfully connected AEBS. I had a working and viable 2.4 GHz network running 2 iphone 4s and 2 wireless printers. The working and viable 5 GHz network was successfully running 5 computers, 2 ipad2s and any other guest computer that would happen to stop by.
Then..one day (3 days ago), the 2.4 GHz network just stopped connecting. The printers wouldn't work and the iphones would say that it was connected, but still operatine on 3G..then just lose the network completely and say that it was 'unable to join the xxxx Network'.
I paid $49 for apple phone support that basically had me completely reset the settings back to factory default and reconfigure..and it worked...for maybe an hour. Then the phones dropped connection, the wireless printers never worked. And on and on.
My genius appointment was today and the apple genius gave me a brand new AEBS..I saw him open the box..it wasn't repair stock..he took it off the shelf. He claimed the 2.4 GHz antenna was bad and a new one would solve the problem.
I reset eveything up today....same problems.
the 5Ghz network is running fine...brilliantly. All ipads and computers work like a charm.
I am connected through a Uverse 2 wire box..but as I said, I had a perfectly working system for about 3 months.
Just for kicks and grins, I rebooted the 2 wire box..stil no luck.
I am hoping that someone here in this vast universe of knowledge has an idea of what may be wrong...it's driving us crazy.
Thanks in advance.

Chances are....about 3 days ago....someone near you added a new Wi-Fi setup at their house, a wireless camera/security system, or even a new cordless phone setup.
One of these devices, or another electronics device like a satellite receiver, television, etc., is interfering with the the 2.4 GHz band on your network. Unfortunately, this is a common problem with the 2.4 GHz band due to severe overcrowding of wireless networks.
For example, a few years ago, my wireless network, which was 2.4 GHz only at the time, started suffering from intermittent sudden slowdowns and complete disconnections. I tried, but could not locate a source of the interference...even changed the cordless phones to other models that did not operate on 2.4 GHz, as most cordless phones do. Changed channels, tried a different router...same problem.
One day as I was working at my desk, I noticed my neighbor....across the street....coming out of his house talking on his cordless phone, when my network speed suddenly dropped to a crawl. By the time he got to the street to his mailbox, my network crashed.
Fortunately, my neighbor is a good friend and he usually remembers to keep his cordless phone inside. When he forgets, I know exactly where he is and what he is doing....without having to even look out the window.
For more information about wireless interference, you might want to read the Apple Support document on the subject:
