No wireless networks found

Last night while browsing ITunes on my Touch the network was disconnected. I checked to see if the router was down, it wasn't. Tried connecting other wireless devices to the network and they got on. I even connected to my network with my wife's Touch. This touch is brand new (as of yesterday) and now I'm not able to find any wireless networks whatsoever. Like I said, I was able to browse the internet and all yesterday until the abrupt disconnect. I tried shutting down and restarting (both the router and my touch). I've done the soft reboot of the Touch. I'm at a loss as to why my Touch won't find any wireless networks...any ideas?

Same problem with my Intel iMac. When I boot up from an off state ('reboot' doesn't work) I get a perfect connection for a time, about 15 minutes. If I don't use wifi at all during that time, then I lose all 'bars' (in the Airport menu item), and cannot see any networks, my own or otherwise (there are 4-5 in my neighborhood). Turning Airport off and on from the menu item does nothing, nor does a reboot.
The kicker is that if I use the network aggressively from the start (streaming video, big downloads, network games) it can stay on for hours. But when it gets 'bored' it just quits out on me. I'm about two days away from bringing it in for service.

WVC54GCA camera, no wireless network found

I just purchased a WVC54GCA camera and I am having problems getting it set up. I have the power plugged in, and the network cable plugged directly into my router, (the solid blue light is on), but when I get to step 2 in the Setup Wizard, no wireless network is found. I know I have a wireless network running, because I have another PC connected, and that PC is also able to find my neighbors wireless network.
The routher is a SMCWBR14-G2 EU Barricade™ g Wireless Broadband Router set up in 11b/g mixed mode.
Has anyone solved this problem? Right now I only see one solution - to return it to the shop where I bought it, but I would like to have the camera working in the wireless mode.

I've just been working on the same problem for the past 4 hours...
I tried so many things, but finally found something that seemed to work.
Forget about the Linksys set up software. You'll have to work with your web browser to access your modem/network settings and your camera settings. Just manually enter the information into the linksys BASIC SETUP section (SSID, etc). I chose a fixed IP address and set that up with my modem settings too.
If you can set your camera up manually, ie. through the default http://192.168.1.115 or whatever yours is set at, then pull up your modem/router settings page (mine is a 2wire - http://192.168...etc)
Find the "device details" for your camera. Copy the hardware address. Something like
00:21:29:7f:6c:c2
Under the wireless settings for your home network, try to find something that says "MAC filtering" or something similar. ENABLE this, if it is not already and see if you can ADD the camera's hardware address to the list of allowed devices.
After doing this, and powering off and on my camera - Hey Presto! It was working. Don't even know why I tried this - I guess I'd tried everything else and it looked like a good idea...
Hope it works for you too. I'd love to think that all these hours of my trying to find a solution pays off for someone else!

No Wireless networks found (WIFI adapter not visible)

From 2-3 days , my laptop's wifi adapter was disabled automatically.
The wireless network doesn't showing WIFI option.
Therefore I am not able to connect to any WIFI network.
Please help

Hi @21_95,
Thank you for your inquiry.
I grasp that your wireless was automatically disabled and you are unable to enable it.
If you check Device Manager is there any errors on it?
You can check this setting also while you are in Device Manager.
Click on the network adapters to expand the list.
Right click on the wireless adapter and choose properties.
Click on the power management tab.
If allow the computer to turn off this device to save power is checked please remove it .
Repeat that process for any additional network adapters.
Here is link to HP PCs - Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8) that may also help.
As this is a recent occurrence you could test for a hardware failure of the card.
HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8)
You could also try a HP PCs - Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) which will reinstall your Windows but should not affect your files. I do suggest that you do a backup of your files just to be on the safe side.
Good Luck!

Blinking amber, "no wireless networks found", rescanning, but internet work

OK - so, everything was fine at home with my airport extreme, hardwired to the modem and my Mac Pro. Wireless worked fine on laptop & iPhone. Today I bought an Airport Express so I can stream music to my stereo. Ran Airport Utility and POOF - blinking amber lights everywhere, utility asking me to rescan over and over because it says I now no longer have any wireless networks - even though the internet works fine. Blinking yellow on base station, blinking yellow on express, yet utility just tells me to rescan, and everything else is grayed out. Banging my head against a wall. Anyone have an idea?

You configure the Express via AirPort Utility. If you cannot see the Express when you open the AU app, click on the AirPort icon (of your Mac) on the upper menu. See if the Express network shows up there. If so, log into that network and open AU again to configure it. If that does not work, get an ethernet cable and connect the Express to your computer. If the Express still does not show up on AU, do a hard reset and try again. Once in AU, you can configure it to try and join or extend your network.

WRT54G router set up, Wireless network found, but cant connect.

I've had this router working for over a year but for whatever reason, it stopped working about a week ago. Powering off the router and cable modem usually works but not this time, so I attached a cable from a laptop to the router and tried to run the setupWRT54G setup CD. After step 7, it kept repeating itself in a loop... trying to reconfigure the router and asking for the password. Finally, I exited and the window message box said "Setup is not complete, continue exiting?" So I accessed the router setup thru IE via the cable: Http:\\192.168.1.1 and set up the network and gave it a new name, channel 7, etc. My wife can access the network from her work laptop via wireless, so its working for her. As for the other laptop and other desktop in our home, when we search for available networks, we can see out network and click "Connect", ... supply the router password that I issued in the router setup, but it says that it cant connect after a minute of trying. What have I done wrong? One laptop can access the network and two cant. Before last week, all 3 could access the wireless network. FYI - I downloaded and installed ther latest fimware from the LINKSYS website (V8.XX), but no difference. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

Keep in mind that the router setup password is not the same thing as the encryption key that you use to connect wirelessly to the router.
If it works normally from your wife's computer, I'd be looking at the settings on your computer first, rather than the router's.
In network -> TCP/IP -> properties is it set to get an IP address automaticaly?
If the above aren't the issue, I would do a hardware reset of the router back to factory defaults and enter your settings again from scratch. That's a recommended step after upgrading or reloading the firmware anyway, even if you weren't having this trouble

Old Wireless Network Found

First of all, I am a newbie in regard to wireless networks, so please be patient with me!!!
Here's my problem:
About a year ago, I set up a wireless network on my computer. It worked great. My son was able to access the Internet with his laptop just fine anywhere in our home.
Recently my son disconnected the wireless router and used it at a party with his friends. (They connected a couple of XBox gaming systems together to play XBox Live).
After the party, my son reconnected the router to the computer, but he was not able to get his laptop to connect to the Internet. In our troubleshooting, we ended up recreating a wireless network on my PC. My son's laptop finds the wireless signal from my PC, but it finds an old network name -- not the new network name that we recently created.
We are at a loss on what to do next. Can anyway give us some direction?
Thank you very much!

I think that with some routers you can have multiple networks running at the same time. If you reset the router it will restore to factory defaults and delete all metworks running. From there if you just recreate a network again it will only have the 1 network on it.

No wireless network found

I cannot find the network of my router, he couldn't find any connections to that network. Other people tried it (with acer=windows)and for them it worked perfect, so they can connect to that network. What should I do, cause I really need that wireless internet for my studies?
Thx

are you wireless? check if your airport card works.. can it see the wireless router at all?
under network setings, make sure it is set up at the default configuration so that your computer automatically searches for networks, connects via DHCP and that both airport and ethernet is tickered to be on.

Wicd intermittantly "No wireless networks found"

Occasionally I lose connection and wicd displays no access points.
$ rfkill list
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
I haven't tried 'sudo rfkill unblock 1' yet, i have to wait for next fail.
What could cause this?

This happens to me too! Happens every once in a while coming back from sleep. Anyone have a solution?

Can't connect to Wireless Network. Officejet 6500a

I just bought an Officejet 6500A and can't seem to have it connect to my wireless network via Ethernet. All the cables are connected, however when I try to install using the network connection I keep gettting an error saying no networks are found.
I have tried the HP Network Diagnostic Utility and even there after it scans it says no wireless networks found. What is the deal? The printout from the printer says it is ready and wired.

Hi Romex,
The HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One (CN557A#B1H) is the only model that offers wireless capability.
The HP Officejet 6500A e-All-in-One (CN555AB1H) only offers wired Ethernet capability.
You can always exchange the product since you didn't know it was Ethernet only.

The most common wireless networks found in use today are the 802.11g and 802.11n networks. Many of the wireless adapters available today support the b/g/n protocols. To ensure that your PC, tablet or phone works with your wireless network, check the specifications for the device and wireless adapter.
Special Considerations for Encryption & Security for Wireless Networks
It is important that you consider the security and encryption to be used for your network. Generally, avoid using WEP encryption unless absolutely required as it is less secure. WPA2 is sufficient for most home networks and is the most common method used today.

You may be interested in netcfg2 which has auto-wireless feature. It is described in ArchWiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_Profiles (see "Automatic Detection" chapter).

5800 automatically looking for Wireless networks p...

my 5800 keeps popping up annoying notifications of "wireless network found" whenever i'm in an area that has a wireless network.
i dont want this.
i have DISABLED wireless scanning.
in settings, "show WLAN availability" is set to "NEVER"
and yet i keep getting these annoying notifications like every 5 minutes! sometimes the problem totally stops on its own. at other times the notifications keep popping up like crazy despite cancelling them repeatedly.

Check settings of apps that need a connection like e-mail, Facebook, etc....

G530 doesn't detect wireless networks

Hi.
I have problem with my lenovo g 530 (4446-12a)
OS is Win XP prof with SP3.
In device maneger all drivers are installed.
It says that wireless adapter is Intel WiFi Link 5100.
Problem is that no wireless networks are found.
I tried on different locations but result is allways the same...no wireless network found.
What could be the problem?
I already installed OS twice, same results.
Thanks for help.

Are you sure wireless is turned on?
Your laptop may use a switch, or a keyboard combination to enable.
Also may be disabled by Intel/Lenovo software.
Lastly, may be disabled in BIOS Setup.

HT2497 I just purchased the 2TB TC and set it up on bridge mode to my att verse which is connected via ethernet cable. The TC is continually blinking amber and an error message states that a wireless network cannot be found but the uverse is functioning

I just purchased the 2TB TC and set it up on bridge mode to my att verse which is connected via ethernet cable. The TC is continually blinking amber and an error message states that a wireless network cannot be found but the uverse is functioning great. The network name I assigned to the TC is also not appearing among available networks. How do I remedy this, please?

What OS on the computer you are using to setup the TC?
Did you turn on ipv6 for wireless to link-local... this is essential for network access now??
Try power cycling the network.. start up in correct order.. uverse.. 2min wait.. TC.. 2min wait.. computer.
No luck factory reset and start over. Use ethernet cable as well to the computer to help it.
No luck I can show you manual method.

None of your trusted wireless networks can be found

Hello there,
We just bought a brand new 20" iMac 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo last night, and we are having temporary Airport problems with it. We have updated the machine to 10.4.7, have run every single update in Software Update including the newest security updates, and have run the iMac SMC firmware update. So we are totally up to date on everything.
But we think we have discovered a bug in how quickly Apple's Airport software locates PROTECTED wireless networks.
We have a wireless router from Comcast, and we are wirelessly surfing the Internet just fine! Our wireless router works, and we're having no problems surfing the Internet. We have a 128-bit WEP security key enabled on our wireless network.
HOWEVER, 100% of the time without fail, we are having TEMPORARY Airport connection problems whenever we:
1. Wake up the machine from sleep.
or
2. Restart the machine.
or
3. Turn on the machine after it has been shut down.
Whenever we do one of these 3 things, we get an error message that says, "None of your trusted wireless networks can be found. Would you like to join the open wireless network 'linksys' instead?" ("Linksys" is our neighbor's unprotected wireless network.)
If we quickly click on the Airport menu at the top of the screen right when this message comes up, we can see that OUR OWN wireless network is NOT listed underneath the Airport menu at the top of the screen.
BUT -- by the time we answer NO to the above question, when we go back to click on the Airport menu at the top of the screen, sure enough our own network is now listed there! It is there, after about a 5-second delay. So we choose the name of our own wireless network from the Airport menu, and then we're connected just fine! It doesn't prompt us for our password or anything, b/c our password is already stored in our keychain.
So there seems to be something like a 5-10 second delay before the Airport software can see protected wireless networks, like our own.
But it's driving us crazy b/c we have to go through this little song & dance routine every single time. Is there any sort of a fix or a workaround for this that anybody knows of?
We've already been inside our Network system preferences and have chosen "Preferred Networks" instead of "Automatic", and have made sure that our network is at the top of the list (in fact, it's the only one listed there right now). Yet still, the problem remains.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Scott

A couple more thoughts. Have you checked with the maker of the router to see if there is a firmware update that the router might be needing? (usually can be found at maker's online support)
WPA2 is a much better encryption method than WEP - check and see if you can set up the router's encryption method as WPA2. Refer to this other thread
Cannot connect with WEP Encryption
I notice you mentioned this problem exists when you "Wake up the machine from sleep." I'm not sure it will help, but I have my iMacs set - at System Preferences>Energy Saver>Sleep uncheck the box "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" as that does you no real good to have it checked, and noticeable delays can occur due to that setting.
This final suggestion will not make a difference to your connection issue, but check System Profiler on its "Hardware Overview" to see if it shows:
Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B03
If not, there is a system firmware update, Firmware Update 1.0.1, available here [the SMC Firmware Update was included in Software Updates, so you undoubtedly already have it installed]:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303903
