PB 10.4.4 + Dlink 624 (wireless) don't like WPA encryption

Hi all,
my PB and my wife's iBook both cannot lock on to the airport signal from our DLink 624 WITH WPA encryption.
everything runs smoothly with the safety features disabled, but just gives me a "couldn't log on to the .... network" message and has no signal bars in the menu bar monitor as soon as I turn it back on.
this is something that worked fine on both machines before we upgraded to Tiger (the problem has been there since 10.4.1), DLink (of course..) says it's something to do with X..
any ideas ?
thanks, for your help, let me know if you need more info on my settings, etc,
Benny

Yes I read that the first time. I just don't follow your logic. Why could it not be a problem of authentication on the laptop? If the router is spending time repeating things for my laptop, and the compliance is not valid in the laptop, is that not an airport issue?
Also, as I stated before, how is it that others are having the same problms with other different routers?

  • Problem iphone 4s with dlink 624s wireless with dhcp

    I heve a iphone 4s which is not stable in my wireless with a router dlink 624s and dhcp. Sometimes iphone runs okay, otherwise it is conect to the router but I cannot surf in the web, the iphone indicates "some problem with the server", even www.google.com doens't open in the safari, but it is connected because the simbol is present in the superior left corner of iphone.
    dhcp 192.168.0.110

    Configure the router to do DHCP automatically, try not to hard code the ip address.
    1. Try rebooting the router.
    2. See if there's a firmware update for your router.

  • DI-624 Wireless Router - Airport Extreme network tips

    I have had problems with my D-Link DI-624 (rev.c) wireless router with WPA encryption ever since the recent AirPort updates, so I decided to post a solution in the hope that this may help someone who is also having the same issue.
    This also might help people having issues with other older D-Link wireless router products. I've been using a couple of 624 models for about 4 years, and they're generally very good routers for their generation.
    *The problem:*
    I was experiencing wireless connection drops using WPA-PSK with the AES cipher on an Intel Mac Mini (late 2006) - Airport Extreme AND a PPC Mini. The minis are about 30 ft away from the router, through several walls.
    I would get a connection drop randomly, maybe once every 15 minutes when the connection wasn't being used. I would have to disable airport, then enable it for a connection to the network to be re-acquired. This really annoyed people on IM, as I'd bounce on and off-line intermittently!
    *The solution:*
    - Use the latest firmware for the router (August 2006 - 2.76)
    - Use WPA-PSK on the router for security (I do not recommend WEP because of the ease and speed of cracking WEP keys)
    - IMPORTANT: Use TKIP cipher, not AES
    - Disable Wireless Super-G (you can experiment later on if you have a "known good configuration")
    - Disable 'extended range mode' (allows connections < 1megabit, useless for me)
    - Change router wireless channel to 1 (for me, to avoid interference with other duelling wireless networks on channel 11)
    I can't use WPA2 because I have a couple of Sony devices which do not support WPA2. I believe that if you don't have these devices, it might be better to use WPA2 with TKIP.
    So, here's my 2 cents - hope it helps someone! If it does, reply to this thread.

    Properly configured, the AirPort should provide both wired and wireless network client with Internet access.
    At this point, I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Safari and wireless don't work unless I am connected to wireless

    safari and my wireless don`t work together, unless the macbook is connected to the wireless

    Take your MacBook to another location where wireless networks are available - a coffee house or public building - and see if it finds wireless networks when it starts up. If so, the problem might be with your router at home. If not, you might check System Preferences > Network and see if Airport is operating/on.
    If by "connected" you mean via ethernet cable, there are a couple things to try: Take a look at your wireless router's settings (router's manual will have instructions for accessing settings) and see what security features are on/off.

  • Sound, USB Ports, and Wireless don't work.

    I installed Windows XP on my MacBook, but when I switch to Windows the sound doesn't work, the USB ports don't read my flash drives, and the built in wireless don't work. I can't connect to the internet to download drivers, if they're needed. Can anyone tell me what to do?

    the drivers are on the DVD that came with your computer.

  • Can't mount D-Link DI-624S Wireless Storage Router Hard Drive

    I have a D-Link DI-624S Wireless Storage Router that has two USB2 ports for adding external hard drives. I have an older iMac, running jaguar, connected to the router via an ethernet cable and I have a MacBook Pro, running tiger, connected to the router wirelessly.
    The iMac mounts the USB drive as it should, but the MacBook Pro can't. I get a dialogue box titled, " SMB/CIFS File System Authentication" with the Workgroup field set to "MYGROUP", the name field set to my name and the password field left blank. But no matter what I type in, the password is not accepted. Nowhere in the router settings can I add users and passwords, yet, when I connect using the iMac, a blank password field mounts the drive. This problem persists even when I plug the MacBook Pro directly to the router. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   D-Link DI-624S Wireless Storage Router

    rootb, Welcome to the discussion area!
    The D-Link router is not compatible with WDS. Therefore you will not be able to use the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to wirelessly extend the network created by the D-Link.

  • I just updated to ios 7.0. I really don't like it! How can I go back to the old iphone software?

    Hello! So I updated my iphone 4s software a few days ago to the ios 7.0. I really don't like it! The calendar is the worst part of it! I used to love the calendar, notes and clock/timer app on my iphone! Now I hate the new layouts and how they work! Is there any way to go back to the older software on my iphone?

    I was in the same situation. Today I went to my wireless carrier's store and upgraded my hardware to iPhone5. It comes with iOS 6.1.4.
    I had backed up my 4S before foolishly installing iOS7, so I was able to recover all the apps, most settings, etc., as usual, in iTunes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Neo2 Platinum discovery - BIOSes above 1.5 don't like internal IDE cards

    I upgraded my BIOS tonight from 1.5 to 1.B only to discover my system wouldn't boot. I thought it was a problem with my SATA drive, so I disconnected all my other drives, and it worked. Because I was having several other problems with this BIOS, even when it was working, I downgraded to 1.9, but the same thing happened: with all my hard drives connected, my system wouldn't boot into Windows. After the DMI prefetch check, it just sat there like a lame goose. I disconnected my hard drives one by one to see which was the culprit, only to discover that the two drives connected to my Promise internal ATA100 IDE card were causing the problem. If those two drives were not connected, the machine booted normally, but when they were connected, the machine hung at start up.
    I proceeded to try this for 1.8 and 1.7 with the same results. Only 1.5 seemed to work with my IDE card. I switched around PCI slots, turned off my ethernet slots (I was intermittently getting a Realtek ethernet jack error, which would also prevent me from loading up. This even happened in 1.5, but disabling that got rid of the problem. I use wireless anyway.)
    Anyone know why this is the case? I suppose that it is not inherently PCI IDE cards that the BIOSes don't like, but the existence of hard drives on external channels. Because if I disconnect the hard drives from the card, there is no problem, and the OS boots normally.
    I have heard of one other person in this forum having this problem, but I don't have the luxury of plugging my extra hard drives in internally.
    Thanks in advance for the help/experience.

    Thanks for that guide :-) Found it
    Changing the agp voltage to 1.60 (From 1.50) had no effect
    The Os is reused (working correctly on any other p.c), any time I try to clean install a new Windows Xp I get "Files not found" errors when it comes to installing any software it extracted to my drive
    So far as I know the Nvidia Ide sw driver is not loaded, however it's one of those things I wouldn't know where to look to check pre-os
    Chnaging to LBA from auto had no effect on my problem
    All in all this has me stumped
    (Edit: Congratulations on hitting the big 5000 posts )
    Sorry nothing seems to work . I'm stumped too since you have had this rig running .
    If you have warranty still valid perhaps you should have the board replaced .
    Didn't notice I rounded the 5K 

  • I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like those special toolbars at all.

    I really would like to know how to totally remove Yahoo toolbar from my Firefox browser as well as my computer. I don't like special toolbars at all. I find it irritating that you included one in the newest version of your browser. In the future I would hope you would leave this or any other out. Firefox used to be my favorite browser to use, now I am not going to want to use it because of the extra toolbar. Please tell me there is a way to remove this, not just hide it.

    You can't move the Yahoo Toolbar from IE to Firefox, they are totally different "behind the scenes". However you can install it, [http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/ http://us.toolbar.yahoo.com/] and I believe if you log in with your Yahoo account it will sync your data.

  • How do I stop firefox from attaching to and using resouces from my external hard drives. Why is it doing this. I don't like it.

    I cannot disconnect from external hard drives because firefox is using the drive. I really don't like this. Aside from being intrusive and inconvenient it seems spywarish or just plain data mining.

    Try the solution here: [[/questions/768100]] Why does firefox want to use different fonts on mounted hard drives
    Move all User fonts in Font Book to Computer fonts.
    # Launch Font Book (/Applications/Utilities/)
    # Open Font Book > Preferences
    # Deselect: "Automatic Font Activation"
    # Set the "Default Install Location" for fonts to "Computer"
    # Select all User fonts
    # Move the selected User fonts to Computer fonts
    # Remove all duplicate fonts in Computer fonts

  • How do I go back to my old version of Firefox. 4 does not allow me to use two finger mousepad control to expand or contract my screen. Also I don't like the lack of a drop-down arrow next to the back/forward buttons.

    I don't like to have to click and drag to see the drop down history of the back/forward buttons - this requires two fingers or a double tap and hold finger motion. MUCH easier to click and release and take my time to pick the screen I want to go back to, then click on that link with a separate motion.
    I especially don't like that I can no longer expand and contract the screen with two finger motion on my mousepad!!!
    Generally, I don't see any advantage to the new layout - and I have a slight preference to having my tabs closer to the screen rather than above the address bar, since I more frequently click on tabs than on the address bar. If you want to improve the view I would recommend combining the very topmost bar which is part of the window surround with the File Edit etc bar (and please keep File, Edit, View History, etc separated instead of putting them into a dropdown). This will allow the viewer one more line of text on a given webpage, and eliminate the wasted space which is only used to identify the window as FF and provide the close window buttons
    PLEASE help me go back to the old version. It was perfect.

    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • My husband and I have the same Apple ID number so that we can both have access to an app we use.  I don't like the fact that our calendar, notes and email is also shared.  Is there a way to separate the things we want separate yet keep access to the cloud

    My husband and I share the same Apple ID number because we both need access to an app that has a subscription and would be expensive for us to do separately.  We don't like that this shared ID number means we also share our calendar, note pages, email, etc....Is there a way to separate the things we don't want to share?

    That would be my suggestion.  Just keep using the common one for purchases in the stores.  Then each get another AppleID using a free gmail, AOL, hotmail, MS Live or whatever email account.
    Delete your current iCloud account and login with the new AppleID, and logout of Messaging and then backin with the new AppleID.  Now you have a shared iTunes/App store account, but completely separate, independent iCloud and iMessage accounts.
    You can still share calendars if you wish to, even across separate accounts - http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2690

  • How can I stop conversations from being linked together in Mail? I don't like that feature.

    I don't like that conversations are linked together in mail. It always scares me that I sent something to someone who it wasn't intended for. Sometimes the conversations are relevant but most of the time one email has absolutely nothing to do with another email so I don't see why they are linked together. I have looked all through the mail preferences but I don't see any options to change it.
    Does anyone has the same thoughts and any solution?

    Yes this worked! Thank you! Also sometimes my mail completely disappears  and then it comes back but I'm not sure why it does that and sometimes the search feature works and sometimes it doesn't.

    Go to iTunes and erase all the songs you don't want from your library or check the "Manually manage music and videos" box, erase all the songs from your iPod and only put the songs you want or check the "Sync only checked songs" box and check every single song in your library (Crtl+Click on a check box (if on PC)) and uncheck the ones you don't want.
