Problem staying connected to my Wireless Network with my HPPhotosmart e-All-in-One Printer - D110a
I just bought a new HP wireless printer replacing my old HP wireless printer which the wireless part worked fine, but the printing died.
New printer HPPhotosmart e-All-in-One Printer - D110a. I have installed and re-installed the software and drivers but can't get my printer to stay connected to my laptop. I have a Linksys "WRT54GL router but have the printer set with a static IP address. When I run tests on the computer and printer everything says it is fine. But every 30 seconds or so.. my printer goes offline on my computer and is especially noticeable when I am using the HP Solution center because it will keep blinking in the windows bar. I have talked to 4 technicians but no one can figure out what the problem is. They keep saying that it is on my end, but the old printer which was also an HP (Wireless 6150) never had any problems and I have not changed anything in my routing. Is anyone else having this kind of problem and has found a successful solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My computer is running Windows XP SP3
Currently my router has WEP encryption, but I tried them all just to see if that had anything to do with it. (WEP works best for me since I have some devices which can only use WEP to communicate).
Thanks.
Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.18.1.100 to .149. Let's use 192.168.1.200 for your printer.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Unable to connect to home wireless network with my iPod touch
I've had my iTouch for several months now and I'm still not able to connect to my wireless network at home. I've tried the resets and other suggestions I've found in the discussion groups but nothing has worked.
I have an older Netgear Router MR814v2 and it is unsecured. It is attached to my old desktop, HP Pavilion running Windows ME, which is not able to run the itunes software. My HP laptop is where my iTouch and iTunes software is installed.
The iTouch displays my network with good signal strength, but when I try to connect I get the "unable to join the network "NETGEAR".
Going to my router, it does not recognize my iTouch as an attached device. Why is that and what am I missing?
Thank you for all suggestions and your help.I tried powering down the router. When it's off the iTouch does not recognize the network and then when it's powered on again, the iTouch recognizes the network. Unlike the public wi-fi spots that my iTouch responds to, where all the info like IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS etc are populated in the settings...my iTouch does not populate these fields at home even though it recognizes the network. I still get the unable to connect to network error. Could it be that my router is antiquated and can not support the iTouch? Like I said earlier, my Router does not recognize the iTouch as being attached to it.

This problem began weeks ago, when I suddenly couldn't browse the Internet at home despite being fully connected to the network. The network was a private, password-protected wireless network set up through a Netgear router.
I have spent hours troubleshooting and have tried multiple fixes including resetting PRAM, deleting and re-creating Airport, deleting and re-creating networks, changing IP and DNS, etc. to no avail. My roommate's PC works perfectly fine on the same wireless network.
This seems to be an issue with networks I use long-term. I can connect fine to networks at Starbucks, etc. for short-term use. Also, while trying to troubleshoot my connection issues on my home network over the last few weeks, I'd been using my apartment complex's public wireless connection (no password) with no issues. All of a sudden, I am having the same exact issue with that network. It's like something just snaps and maybe gets configured wrong after a few weeks or months of use.
I am desperate to find a fix, since now I can't use the internet AT ALL while at home and need it for work.
Thank you in advance for your help!Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) -
I can't update, purchase, or anything… even on the strong internet signal! Is something down??
A simple search of the Internet would have revealed that Apple is reporting issues with iTunes currently.

Problems connecting to BTFON wireless network
Hi all
I have been connecting to the internet through BT FON for almost a month now but without warning I lost access to the network. Whenever I attempt to connect, it says - Limited or no connectivity and I've noticed that when I attempt to repair the connection it hangs as it fails to renew my IP address. The error message is: failed to renew your IP address. For some reason I've lost connection with the server.
Is the problem with my laptop? Is there a way to fix this?
ThanksThanks for your response Riad but my issue is still my issue is still unresolved. I've been trying different locations for the past month without any luck. Everytime I try to connect it returns as "Limited or No Connectivity". I am able to connect to other wireless networks with ease. I am not whether its a settings issue or not.
This bothers me because I still have quite a bit of unused credit in my Fon account. I was browsing happily one minute and the next it just disconnected and hasn't been up since. I checked the map for coverage and it still shows that on my street there are 4 or 5 people with hubs.

How can i extend a wireless network with time capsule
How can i extend an existing wifi verizon wireless network with time capsule? the router is connected on the bottom floor. want to boost the signal to a home office on the top floor, four flights up. connect time capsule via ethernet cable to iMac on 4th floor? Do I have to start a second wifi network or can I set it to just boost the one I have? thank you
How can i extend an existing wifi verizon wireless network with time capsule?
It all depends on what you mean by "extend".
If you plan to "extend" by connecting the Time Capsule to the Verizon router using a wired Ethernet cable, this can be accomplished.
If you were hoping to connect the Time Capsule to the Verizon router using wireless only, unfortunately the Time Capsule and Verizon products are not compatible for that purpose.
Check with Verizon to see if they offer an "extender" or "repeater" that could be located very close to the Time Capsule.
This would provide both more wireless coverage and also allow you to connect the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable from the "extender" or "repeater". -
Problem staying logged into a wifi network
I am having problem staying connected to a wifi network. I logged on a wifi network, enter password, and it says it as connected to the wifi network. Then it kicks me off the wifi network that I am currently logged into. Any advice or comments?

My iMac is not staying connected to the wireless internet. My provider tells me it's a computer issue and not their problems. Any suggestions?
Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Reset the PRAM.
Step 7
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
Step 8
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center. -
Can't connect to wireless network with "conflicting" essid
Hello,
My wireless card works perfectly (actually I am using ndiswrapper, but anyway) on Arch and I can connect to my home wireless network. I use iwconfig to connect.
In my office we have a wireless network. It's essid is "default" and it uses WEP. I can connect to it using Windows, but not using Arch. Im running the following commands:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "default" key XXXXXXXXXX
dhcpcd wlan0
and it doesn't connect ("waiting for carrier..." and nothing happens)
I guess the problem is that there is another network with the same essid - "default". I've tried to manually associate my card with my office network AP using iwconfig wlan0 ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, but it didn't work either.
What should I do?What kind of Wireless card do you have and what does it say when you do a lspci? So for me, I know I have a Broadcom and the way I found it was to do:
lspci | grep BCM4312 (or whatever wireless make/model you have)
or
lspci | grep "Network Controller"
The second option should also get it for you. From there, you can check out this list to see if that might help you with drivers (but then again, you might have known this already so...).
Hope this helps.

Connect to one wireless network when multiple networks with the same name
Hi all,
I'm at a location where there are two networks with the name (e.g.) "wireless". One uses WEP and one uses WPA. The WEP network is weaker than the WPA network, so my Mac tries to connect to the WPA network, even though I have manually setup the wireless network with WEP security (after trying to connect it asks for a WPA password). Is there a way that I can connect to a wireless network by MAC Address, or some way for me to tell the Macbook to ignore the WPA network? The problem is that the SSID is the same, it seems.
Thanks,
NateThe person (the landlord) isn't tech-savvy at all.
That is clearly obvious as
1. They would not be using WEP
2. They would setup a different SSID
WEP is not secure and can be cracked in minutes using tools readily available on the internet. If a hacker gain access to that network they could run other tools and hijack the dns and then you could be visiting sites on your mac that are completely bogus but look real.
Also it is common trick that hackers use is to setup an access point nearby with the sane SSID to capture details from users that join their network thinking they have joined their own network. Again the hacker can hijack the dns and monitor all your browsing and capture details.
The fact that someone has setup an SSID nearby with the same name would make me very suspicious.
I would treat your landlord's network as an untrusted network same as when your using a public wifi like coffebucks. -
Problem connecting laptop to wireless network
Greetings.
I recently installed ArchLinux on my asus N80Vb laptop. I downloaded the .iso for the core installation and burn a CD which I used to install. Checksums were a match. I followed instructions on the installation guide and everything seems to have been a success. I installed all packages which seemed to have anything to
do with wireless networking.
The only problem is that I am having difficulty getting my laptop to connect to the wireless network in the house.
The network wireless interface in the laptop is an Intel WiFi Link 5100. I am assuming the driver is loading properly: output from dmesg | tail is:
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Unable to find TIM Element in beacon
wlan0: Selected IBSS BSSID 2e:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx based on configured SSID
iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Unable to find TIM Element in beacon
(the x's in the second line are because I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to post the actual numbers).
I followed the manual wireless setup process <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup#Part_II:_Wireless_management">here</a> to try to establish a connection and couldn't connect: trying to ping www.google.com gave an unknown host error.
I have netcfg and created a configuration file with the following:
CONNECTION='wireless'
DESCRIPTION='wireless internet connection
INTERFACE='wlan0'
SCAN='yes'
SECURITY='none'
ESSID='mynetwork'
IP='dhcp'
CHANNEL='6'
When trying to use netcfg I get "Wireless network "mynetwork" not present. [FAIL]
Using iwlist doesn't show <i>mynetwork</i> either, but I know its there because all the PCs, a wii and another laptop are all connected to it without any problems.
(I added CHANNEL='6' because my PC running Fedora shows that it is connected to mynetwork on channel 6, so I thought maybe...).
Connecting via a wired connection is also a possibility but would prefer not to.
Any suggestions?

My Power Book G3 Pismo with an Airport wireless card running Mac OS X 10.4.11 will not connect to my new Airport
Extreme Base Station using WPA Personal/WPA 2 Person encryption. The Airport firmware is version 9.52. From
posts I've read online at different places indicates the Airport card should support the WPA encryption. Perhaps the problem
is the Base Station is using a combination setting and the fault is in the base station?
Thanks for any suggestionsPerhaps an inexpensive usb wireless adapter would work as well?
This is probably the simplest way to get the G3 connected to the wireless network.
I'll have to read up on getting an express and using it as a wireless bridge as I am unfamiliar with the concept.
The new AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal.
A new AirPort Express could be located close to the G3. The Express will pick up the wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme, then provide an Ethernet connection to the G3 though a short Ethernet cable.
This can work very well......IF.....you keep the G3 at a fixed location, since it will always be connected to the AriPort Express using an Ethernet cable.
I do have an old Linksys Wireless G router. I wonder if that would work?
In theory, yes. But it would have to use much older WEP "security", which is easily cracked in minutes using free tools available on the Internet. So, anyone who really wanted to get on the network could do so. It's an option, but not a very good one. -
Connecting to Wireless Network with domain name and proxy servers?
Hi,
I'm trying to connect to the wireless network at my college, however it's not as straight forward as usual... The network is hidden, although I know to 'Join other network' and type in the SSID of the network and then set the authentication method to WPA-Enterprise. However, this is where I run into a problem..
To connect, I need to 'configure encryption as AES', which I'm not sure how to do on OS X. Furthermore, after signing in with my college ID I am required to 'Use the domain name [domain name]' and 'configure your browser to use the college proxy servers [example.example.net] on port [123]
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as it's important that I log on to the network for work etc.
Thanks very much for your time.johnthompson1993 wrote:

The encryption should be configured automatically. To use the proxy:
1. Open System Preferences
2. Click on Network
3. Select Airport from the list on the left
4. Click on Advanced, near the bottom right
5. One of the tabs will be called Proxy. Configure your settings there.
