Qosmio G20 - Wireless Connection using Thomson 580 Router

Hi,
I am having trouble using the above Wireless router with my laptop. It all works fine with the 'wire' connected (i.e. the ethernet cable) but not without (using the cable defeats the object of having a wirleless router!) However when I remove the cable it does not recognise a connection - any ideas ? (warning: I'm abit of a novice so please treat me gently i.e. not too technical !) In case it is relevant I am in the UK using AOL (but I have checked compatibility with them and they have said the problem lies with my laptop or the router)
Thanks,
Elijah

Hi
Firstly the WLan configuration is very complex and depends on different settings.
The Qosmio G20 works with both WLan standards: 802.11b and 802.11g.
The g standard is faster.
However, its very important to configure the WLan router. Usually you should receive the router manual together with the router. Check the router installation procedure and the WLan options.
On the unit the Wlan card should be enabled. Check the hardware switch on the notebook side and also the key combination FN+F8.
If you use the Windows to configure the Wlan you should enable the option in the WLan properties under Wireless Networks tab.
If you use the WEP encryption you should configure this. If the MAC address filtering is enabled on the router you have to insert the WLan card MAC address in the router table.
But all this information you should find in the router manual. Check it!!!
Good luck

Encountering Intermittent Wireless Connections Using a Router

NOTE: Before following the steps in this article, check if your wireless computers have stable connection when connected to other wireless networks (hotspots).

I am assuming you have XP wireless computer…ensure that all the firewall and antivirus software’s are disabled…anyways go to control panel >> network connections >> Right click on wireless connection icon and go to properties, wireless n/w tab and remove wireless networks from preferred n/w list and try connecting to wireless n/w again, check whether it works or not…if still it doesn’t work you need to reflash the firmware on router, go to www.linksys.com/download and download the firmware for the router, reflash the firmware and after reflashing firmware reset the router and reconfigure it again according to ISP, edit wireless settings e.g. SSID, channel to 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold should be 2304…let me know the results

Unable to obtain ip with wireless connection to Netgear WGR614 router

Pardon my ignorance, I'm relatively new to the Mac world.
I recently purchased an iMac and at the same time purchased a Netgear wireless router.
When hardwired to the Netgear, I have no issues. I tried connecting via wireless, and keep getting the self-assigned ip address. My wireless network is detected and the Airport card connects...full strength. I also have a laptop running windowsXP, and it connects with no issues.
I have tried some of the suggestions mentioned in the discussions. Power cycled the Netgear. Changed channels...from 11 to 10. That didn't help so I went back to channel 11. I have security disabled...trying to keep the configuration as simple as possible until I can get this working.
If anyone can share some thoughts/ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
-Tim

I had to go into /Library/Preferences and dragged SystemConfiguration to my desktop. I restarted the iMac.
After it booted up, I went into System Preferences => Network; created a new Location and used the "Assist Me" tab at the bottom. It walked me through setting up the Airport again and this time it worked.
For anyone that does this, once you confirm your wireless connection is working, take the SystemConfiguration on the desktop and drag it to the Trash.

Wireless connection lost between my router and printer (hp officejet 4620)

My hp officejet 4620 printer has been working fine but now the wireless connection has been lost and I can't get the wireless connection back. The blue light for the wifi flashes blue. I can't get the connection back between the router and the printer because my wifi is actually working fine with my laptop. Any suggestions about what i can do to get the connection back so I can print again?
Is it something I need to do on the printer screen or laptop to fix the problem?

Have you powered off everything and power up again? Power off printer and router. Power on router and wait 2 mins. Power up printer and see if it connects to your SSID.

Lost wireless connection on a wrt110 router!

Oh HELPPPPP! I lost my wireless connection last week, it just vanished! Called Dell they couldn't figure it out, I worked on it I can't figure it out. It was there then it was just gone!! All drivers are updated, but I keep getting the error message " the network adapter intel(r) wifi link 4965agn is experiencing driver or hardware related issues" ... This is driving me nuts, any suggestions???

Well, this problem is not related with your Linksys router. It is driver error on your computer. I would suggest you check the Device Manager in WIndows to see if your wireless adapter in your computer was installed properly. If it shows a yellow triangle in the device manager you have to reinstall the driver.

Qosmio X70 - Wireless connection issue

Hello Everyone,
I totally had enough of Windows 8.1 on my Qosmio X70-A laptop, so I decided to get rid of Windows 8 and installed Windows 7 Ultimate.
Since installing Win 7 my Wireless NIC connects to my network, then drops every so often and takes ages to reconnect.
I have installed the drivers from Toshiba's website to get them working and the problem started. This then lead me to install Intel Driver Update Utility 2.0, which recommended an update which I have installed. The WLAN is still intermittent. It is not my router as my iPad and other PC's can still access the internet,
*My Toshiba:*
+Part Number:+ PSPLTE-098052EN
+Serial Number:+ YD031932C
+Wireless NIC+: Intel Wireless-N 7260
+Hardware ID:+ Ven_8086 Dev_08B1
+Current Driver:+ 17.13.11.5
I have checked the that power management in Device manager is turned off for this device.
It is driving mad, any help would be much appreciated.

Ave you noticed this issue using AC power supply and using notebook with battery power supply?
Please check advanced power settings in power profile that you use and set options for WLAN card to maximum performance.
Test it please and post some feedback.

MacBook Wireless Connection on a 2Wire Router

Hi everyone,
I just a new MacBook that I'm trying to get connected to the internet with my 2Wire Homeportal 1000SW. It's an older router that I've had for about 3 years.
I'm able to connect directly with an ethernet cable, but it's not working wireless. The MacBook is able to pick up the signal, but it won't authorize the password I'm putting in. My current authorization method is WEP using the default 10-digit code from the bottom of the portal. I've checked the password over and over again and I'm super frustrated that this is not working.
I even went ahead and tried opening up my connection, so that it didn't require a password. Still no luck.
Wireless is working fine with two Dell laptops. I also had a guest with a MacBook Pro that's about 1.5 years old, and that worked fine as well.
Any ideas? Is this a problem with the Mac or with my router?
Thanks for any help!

Well I be.
Exact same for me too right down to the ethernet cable and side by side Dell runnning.
Its the $ all right.
Thank you for remembering and answering and posting.
Brand new refurb MacBook arrived this am and is up and running wirelessly already thanks to you. Updating software as we speak. Looks brand new. No scratches or anything. Wife is happy. The World is good.

Takes a long time to connect using D-Link router

I recently purchased a D-Link 802.11n router to replace my old Airport Snow, which seemed to be failing after many years. Now that I have the D-Link up and going, I have two problems:
1 - When I first start either Mail or Safari, it seems to take the router several minutes before it actually connects to the Internet.
2 - Internet access speeds seem to be slower than they were, on my wired network.
Does anyone know what may be causing these problems, especially the first one? Is there a setting I need to change, or should I just buy an AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule ?
Thanks!

I am getting the same issue, on first starting safari the first page takes an age to load.. once it has everything is fine.
I have tried the 'Reset Safari' function but no difference. This only happens on my Macbook Pro Retina, Using safari on my iphone or ipad is fine. (I connect via ethernet too so its not a wifi problem.)
Any one got an answer to this yet?

Cannot connect using Accessing the Router's Web-Based

I'm trying to update firmware, I have done all the step to access the router's web-based.. I connected DSL to the Ethernet port on the router, from the router I used another Ethernet cable to connect the router to my laptop.. I can't get an internet connection. The reason why I'm doing the update I have been using WRT54G2 V1 with no problems, all at once I can't connect to the internet using the router. I was told that I need to perform a firmware update.
Thank you for the help

What' s the ip address and the default gateway are you getting on the computer ?
Connect the DSL modem to the Internet port of the router then use port number one on the router to connect the computer.
Click on Start > Run > type CMD hit Enter command promt window will appear on the screen.
In the command promt window tupe "ipconfig" hit Enter. Now you will see the ip address and the default gateway on the screen. Use the default gateway to open the setup page of the router.

Getting wireless connection at home-no router

This may be a stupid question but I have an iBook G4 with airport card that I take with me to the lake cabin to stay connected to internet. We have a secure connection there. I brought the iBook home to my home and was going to connect to my ethernet cable and noticed that I have an Airport connection: Belkin_N1_Wireless_4B4095. I have no router at my house and was wondering where in the world is the source for this connection-I have never set up and wireless network at home.
Thanks,
Glen

Your neighbor likely has a Belkin wireless router and your iBook is picking up the signal.
If you can get an Internet connection, and you do not have the Ethernet cable plugged into the iBook, then your neighbor did not password protect his wireless network.

How to connect a printer to a wireless connection using airport/time capsule

How do you connect a Cannon MP620 printer to the wireless network with my time capsule/airport? It was set up before but I've had to redo all the settings with a new Time Capsule and now the printer isn't working. Can't remember how I set it up before. Didn't seem that hard back then.
Thanks!

So you plugedd the printer into the time capsule usb right?
You need to re-add the printer in the system preferences one more time because the location has moved.

IPad2 has slower wireless connection than laptop (netgear router)

I have done numerous speed tests that show my laptop at 5meg and ipad2 always below 1meg. All the similar posts i have read suggest turning off qos on the router but mine doesnt even have that option. Its a netgear 150 and brand new. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me mad!! Thanks

Have you powered off everything and power up again? Power off printer and router. Power on router and wait 2 mins. Power up printer and see if it connects to your SSID.

Question about Load Balancing Wireless connections using WLC- F5- ISE

Hi all,
Can anyone give me some orientation how the radius auth process/handshake between the WLC and ISE changes once the F5 is installed in the middle in order to perform load balancing?
We can do some kind of load balancing by configuring different radius servers on each WLC for which, I must configure the same shared secret in the WLC and ISE so the radius request/accept could be processed.
Now that we have the F5 in the middle, do I need to create/configure the same shared secret in the F5 so radius transactions can be processed by this device?. Based on the following link, I must configure the F5 in the ISE like another NAD device (similar to the WLC) but I do not know if this additional configuration in the ISE includes the Auth parameter to be added in the ISE NAD (F5) configuration.

When you covert the pair into SSO, all the APs will go to the ACTIVE unit. No unit will "live" in the standby unit because this unit will "share" the AP-support license between the two.
This is the first step you need to get sorted. Send an email to [email protected] and give them the exact details of what you want to do (i. e. AP SSO) and then provide the serial number of your nominated active WLC and the serial number of your nominated standby WLC.
