Problems getting my rt2500 wireless card to see the network
hi there,
I have been struggling for a few days now trying to get my rt2500 wireless network card to see the network. I have got to a point where I am now stuck.
here is what /etc/conf.d/wireless
wlan_ra0="ra0 essid BTHomeHub-F288 key xxxxxxxxxx"
WLAN_INTERFACE=(ra0)
here is the network part of /etc/rc.conf
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
ra0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo ra0)
this is from /var/log/messages.log
Aug 4 15:28:00 black-hp dhcpcd[5738]: ra0: dhcpcd 3.0.17 starting
Aug 4 15:28:00 black-hp dhcpcd[5738]: ra0: hardware address = 00:90:4b:d6:30:8a
Aug 4 15:28:00 black-hp dhcpcd[5738]: ra0: broadcasting for a lease
Aug 4 15:28:30 black-hp dhcpcd[5738]: ra0: exiting
this is the output of ifconfig

Appologies if i have done something really stupid, but this is the first time i have used wireless networking.
Thanks for any help offered

Hi 2k,
maybe it's a problem with the association between access point and your wireless card.
from the output of iwconfig the security mode is open, try to change it in restricted;
modify /etc/conf.d/wireless in this way:
wlan_ra0="ra0 essid BTHomeHub-F288 key restricted xxxxxxxxxx"

T430 with Intel Ultimate-N 6300 wireless card cannot see 5Ghz network
I have two machines with the exact same Intel 6300 AGN wireless cards. Both running Widowns 7 64-bit. Both have same versions of Intel drivers installed. The X230 sees and connects to my 5Ghz wireless network. The T430 sees only the 2.4Ghz network. The 5Ghz network is not even displayed in its list of available networks.
The T430 sees other 5Ghz networks in the neighborhood. Using inSSIDer I can see that the wifi card is functioning on the 5Ghz frequency as it displays 3 other nearby networks. But I have no way to test connection since those are not my networks and are secured (as is mine).
Windows also shows those neighboring 5Ghz networks in the list of available connections. Only my own 5Ghz network is absent from both lists.
Both my 2.4 and 5Ghz bands are broadcasing their SSID's. All MAC filtering is correct and both machines are allowed on the networks. The WPA keys are correct.
I have even copied the network settings from the working X230 using the "Copy this network profile to a USB flash drive" option from the wireless network properties window and added the 5Ghz network to the T430 using the USB key. So I know the settings are identical.
I ran Lenovo diagnostics Wireless Quick Test on both machines and got identical successfull results.
The only thing amusing about this issue is that the X230 wifi card was purchased from an eBay seller in China and that is the one that works. The card in T430 came with the laptop direct from Lenovo and that one has trouble. Both cards have Lenovo FRU numbers and clearly are whitelist approved since they both work. Just that the T430 card only sees the 2.4Ghz network.
I have assigned static IP addresses to both machines on the network.
I have rebooted the router.
I have run all Lenovo and Windows updates on both machines.
If anyone has further suggestions I woul really appreciate assistance.
Thank you.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This sign appeared in my account: "Your payment method was declined. Update your biiling info'. After adding new information about my others cards I see the same sign. Can't understand what the problem is and what should I do. Everything used to be good before.
Do anyone know what I supposed to do in that situation?
Really need help!

Problems getting on my wireless network
I am having problems getting on my wireless network. I have never had a problem with it before. I changed the password yesterday. However, I was on it until this morning. I have never had a problem before and I am on it currently with my MacBook Pro. Also, my wife is on it with her iphone. Any suggestions?
I have been having the same issues lately. I have made no changes to any settings on my iPod or router or computer. One minute the iPod connects perfectly and I get 3 bars. 30 minutes later I cannot connect at all to my home network.It asks me for password and then wont accept it, etc., etc.
I unplug the router and plug it back in and it connects. Then 2 or 3 days later I have the same issues.
Got my ipod replaced and still am having same issues. My laptop has no issues whatsoever with the router and staying connected.
Some compatability issue with 3.0+ operating system and home network routers probably. I use Netgear but others are also reporting same issues with other routers. -
Posted the entire text from the error window, when trying to update, using the normal NON-TECHIE way to update any and all Adobe CC products, via the Creative Cloud updater installed when Adobe Creative Cloud subscription was purchased when first offered.
The following occurs, ad nauseam:
There was a problem updating InDesign CC
For more information see the specific error below.
Update Failed
Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)
Here's the crux of my frustration:
(1) Customer Service is NOT contact-able, to receive LIVE help.
(2) There is NO way for me to mitigate this "Download error", being a student learning InDesign, and NOT in any way capable of tweaking folders/files here and there.
Therefore, the real question:
Given that a significant number of subscribers are having the above referenced issue with attempting to download the current update for InDesign, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO, in order to get our contractually paid-for updates to our legally and contractually paid-for Adobe software, specifically in my case, InDesgin's current update?
Please, NO TECHNICAL mumbo-jumbo which most likely will cause the overwhelming majority of users, like me, to seriously corrupt their computer files, but rather an honest, straightforward "what to do" from real CS/Engineers working for Adobe, as to how to FIX this issue, period.
===========================================================
UPDATE:
Here is a way in which I think I was able to "update" my InDesign CC application:
(1) Sign-In to your Adobe Account
https://www.adobe.com/
(2) Click on the MENU icon
(3) Click on the product InDesign icon
Your browser should display the page for Adobe InDesign CC
https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign.html?promoid=KLXLU
(4) Click on the Download icon,
Your browser should now display the page to download InDesign,
https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/indesign
(5) a Pop-Up window should open, and display:
Launch Application
This link needs to be opened with an application.
with the first option to select being the CreativeCloud(URIHandler)
(5) Select this application and click OK.
What happened when I followed steps (1) thorugh (5) is that:
(a) InDesign CC(2014) was installed,
(b) InDesign CC, updated, and then
(c) InDesign CC(2014), also updated.
Why this all worked, is a mystery to me.
Looks like a separate, "new" version of InDesign, InDesign CC(2014), was installed, the existing "old" InDesign was updated, and then the newly installed Indesign CC(2014) was further updated.
A BIT MORE, when I launched my InDesign CC app, and checked to see if there were Updates Available, there in fact was an Adobe InDesign CC 64 bit (9.2.2) update.
I clicked on UPDATE and my "old" InDesign CC app was "successfully updated."
FURTHER INFO: I may have neglected to list some important info ... OS: Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center, 64-bit
Confused, I am able to launch BOTH of these apps, and hopefully I may use one of these versions of the InDesign CC app, to do some InDesign work.
Will keep y'all posted!

I have Comcast Internet and have it connected to a Motorla Surfboard modem and have that running directly to a 2TB Time Capsule. The TC is serving as our time machine as well as our wireless router. We lost power in a storm a week ago and can no longer connect to my wireless network I can see the network and sign into it via password, but cannot connect with any device(iMac, MacBook, iPhones, iPod touches, air tv, etc.). ALL of these devices worked gat before the power went out. I reset both modem and TC and still can't connect. I can connect to the Internet through Ethernet cord directly from the modems dn have confirmation(per Comcast service) that the Internet is working and we have a good connection.
The TC is less than six months old so I'm not sure what is wrong. I have reset settings with TC to no avail. I have reset the TC SEVERAL times and have no idea what could be wrong and what is prohibiting me from connecting. Anyone that has ANY suggestions or ideas as to how to fix this, PLEASE HELP!!! I'm going crazy using iPad 3G and not being able to connect to our wifi. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY!Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this? Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

I have not been able to get the built-in iPhone 4S keyboard dictation to work. I talk into it, then tap "Done", then the phone "thinks" for a few seconds (the purple dots pulse and I see the network icon on the top bar spinning) and then nothing happens.
Siri is wroking fineI am experiencing exactly the same problem, today, and a reset, of all settings, did nothing to correct it. Any suggestions would be welcome. While dictation in all apps is out, Siri is working fine also.

The power went out and when it returned the network name and password was lost. I can see the network in my connections and connect to it. How do I get it back to the orginal name and password? I have an HP laptop.
Chances are, there was a signficant power surge or voltage fluctuation just before the power went out. This type of thing can cause the AirPort Extreme to reset back to default settings.
If this occurs, your only option is re-configure the device again, just as you did originally.
In order to improve your chances this next time this happens, (especially if you live in an area where thunderstorms are severe), a good quality surge suppressor / voltage limiting power strip will really help, and may save you the entire device or a nearby computer next time something like this occurs. -

thanksAw geez, they sure have messed up OSX.
Do you have a backup of 10.8.2?
Maybe...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS. -

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with two Macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network and it's telling me I'm connected but Safari says I'm not connected to the internet. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?
Thank you, I've tried the support tips (resetting the network, checking security settings, etc.) and rebooting the network devices several times to no avail. I've actually been working on this for several days (when I can afford to have the network down).
What I have to determine is what has changed in the setup...from when it WAS working just fine with all devices. -
Hello, I'm trying to connect my new TiVo XL4 box to my home network via an ethernet cable connection to my Airport Express but the TiVo box is not seeing the network. I have a green light emanating from the Airport Express so it is connected. Please advise.
If you have not already done so, I suggest that you temporarily disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express that goes to the Tivo box.
Instead, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop to the Ethernet port on the Express. See if you can get an Internet connection on the laptop.
If you still cannot get an Internet connection on the laptop, try another Ethernet cable that you know is working correctly.
Post back on your results. -
when i try to connect my new ipad to my home wifi i get a message saying unable to join the network BTHub and my only option is to dismiss
If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

PC not seeing the network and not being seen on the network
I set up a WRT54G to use as my network router. I have two pc's hooked up to it via wire, as the software used for the company requires this. 1 is my server, and there are no problems. I can connect to the Internet fine. The number 2 pc can connect to the Internet fine, but it can not see the network. Number 1 pc can not see the number 2 pc on the network. HELP!!! The work groups are the same, and I followed all the instructions hooking up. My laptop even hooks up to the wireless Internet. What do any of you think? Thanks
Check firewalls, and any virus suite that you may be using. Make sure that under trusted IPs you have check trust my network. You should be able to find that under personal firewall tabs in the virus suite.

setting up the i pad for the first time i am stuck on the wi fi page it can see the network but my pc cant see it
Since you have a modem/router, you must continue to use the Beetel modem/router on your network.
The Time Capsule can connect to the Beetel modem/router using a wired Ethernet cable connection and produce a separate wireless network. You would NOT want the Beetel router and Time Capsule to both try to produce the same wireless network if they are located close together, since this will likely create interference problems that may prevent devices from connecting to either the Beetel orTime Capsule wireless network.
The exception to having the Beetel modem/router and Time Capsule produce the same wireless network would be if you can locate the Time Capsule at least a room or two away from the Beetel modem/router. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet or about 100 meters with no signal loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule anywhere you want.
Are you able to consider this option?
Another option.....if you cannot locate the Time Capsule in another room......would be to configure the Time Capsule to use the same wireless network name and password as the Beetel network and turn off the wireless on Bettel modem/router.
Important.....there is no guarantee that the printer will be able to connect to the Time Capsule wireless network, so you should expect to start over and set up the printer again.
Yet another option would be to turn off the wireless service on the Time Capsule and use the Beetel wireless to back up your computers to the Time Capsule, which will act as a wired hard drive for the network. If you select this option, the Time Capsule can be located close to the Beetel modem/router.
