Re: Wireless network, router WRT150N. Recently installed in network.
My son is having trouble with his World of Warcraft latency. It starts off excellent but tanks in about 10 secs after he starts playing. I've concluded it must be something with the router. I've tried most of the WoW fixes for latency, but I get same behaviour.
I note some other message threads of same problem, but no fixes. Anybody help?

Log into 192.168.1.1 on your browser (no username, password is admin). Set the MTU to manual and change the size to 1400. Check WoW documentation for tcp/udp ports that need to be opened on the router.
Keep us posted! (",)
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

Can´t connect to wireless network | unable to proceed installation

Hello everybody!
After using Ubuntu for about two years I´d like to use another Linux distro which suits my requirements better and ArchLinux seems to be the best solution for me. Anyway I got some trouble with the installation.
I´m using the beginners guide from the wiki and this video as a reference while installing but I got stuck at the point when setting up the wireless network.
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ieth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf & >/dev/null
... outputs...
eth1: WPA: Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using TPTK - ignoring TPTK
eth1: WPA: Could not verify EAPOL-Key MIC - dropping packet
(this is the same error message btw)
It shows up this message every two seconds without stopping. The only thing I can then is shutting down my laptop and start from the beginning.
I also tried using netcfg but without real success. There it doesn´t complain but I don´t got a working connection either.
Another odd thing is that if I type
/arch/setup
to begin the actual installation it says "no such file or directory". Any ideas what needs to be configured before or what I am doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated!

Disabled wireless network router with WD World Book

I have recently updated iTunes and now everytime I start it up it says Updating iTunes Library, then after approx 1 minute the wireless network adaptor on my pc is disabled. The only way to re-enable it is to shut down the pc then then restart it. I've tried updating the drivers on the WPN111 USB adaptor but it hasn't made any difference.
I'm using an external WD World book to store my music folders and I'm guessing it's something to do with this and iTunes?
Windows 7
iTunes 10.5
Netgear WPN111 wireless USB adaptor
WD World book 1TB
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks.

Defiantly relevant. I will look around myself some more since N seems to have issues
my iwconfig shows N though and still have same issue, that file does not exist in arch, but i did run modprobe with the 11n_disable=0 flag

Need help to set wireless Linksys Router WRT150N to work with Nettalk Duo

I have Linksys Router WRT150N , connect to it Nettalk Duo but there is no ring tone, the orange light is flashing trying to connect, then i have the green light blinking then go Red.
I thied to call Nettalk but no answer to their phone, chat with customer support at last they said someone from technical support will call back, but that not happen since two weeks.
I make several tickets to them but no reply, service is very bad.
Please any help to configer inside the router to recognise Nettalk, i have cable internet they said there is no blockage from there side.

Hey sam63. Based from what I've read, RED lights means the device has failed to connect to the network. I'd suggest that you perform a powercycle. Unplug the power of the NetTalk Duo and the router for 30 seconds. Once done, power on the NetTalk first then, the router. Also, make sure that it is properly connected to the router's Ethernet port and the router is working online. You may try using another Ethernet cord or plug it into another Ethernet port.
If that won't work still, I found a link that might help you. Here: http://www.nettalk.com/support/customer-support/

I'm having trouble connecting to my wireless network/router

I see my network but when I try to connect automatically is gives me a timeout message.

Can you see the network in the Mac's wireless network list?

Can you set up a wireless network/router using only the iPad?

Can you set up a wireless network/modem/router using only an iPad - if you don't have a computer?

You actually can as most routers come with a web interface that lets you tinker with all things with regard to set up and connection.
You have to choose though as there are other routers that would require you to plug-it in to a computer first, as they have a desktop application to make way for easier set-up.
But for everything else, it is done through a web client which is just like accessing any web site.

Can I access an external hard drive that is attached to my wireless network/router?

Ok, so after a couple deployments and time in the military, my collection of movies and tv shows has grown to crazy amounts. Being married, I want to access all these files on the home tv. I have all my movies onto one hard drive. That hard drive is attached to a Belkin N600 router. The router is then attached to the ATT U-Verse. My question, is how do I access the movies on the hard drive? I plan on playing them through the HDMI adapter on my iPad. I have tried File Browser and File Manager. So what are my options now? I feel like its close, but just barely out of my reach to get it all set up.

First off you will only be able to acess the content on the drive when you are at home where the drive is. To access them you need to add them to iTunes on your computer then access them on the iPad though the Home Sharing service.
I would skip trying to play them though the iPad though. You will make your life a lot eaiser if you spend the $100 and just buy AppleTV. It will make this MUCH eaiser. As well as give you access to your music, photos, etc.
Also as I am writing this I just realized if you have upgraded to iOS7 your iPad will probably not be able to play those movies. iOS apprenlty will only play video purchased from iTunes. It will not even play videos recorded by iOS6.

HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw does not connect to wireless network

I recently upgraded my wireless network router. I had my HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw connected to the old wireless network router. The SSID is password protected (WPA2)
I need to connect the printer to the new wireless network router. However, neither the control panel nor blue wireless connection button provide any way for me to do this. The manual has not walked through a way to do this.
There really needs to be a simple, no-nonsense way to just connect the printer to the wireless network. How do I connect this printer to a new wireless network?

Hi @shakayumi ,
I see that you are having issues configuring the printer on the new router. I would like to help.
Restore the printer's network defaults.
Touch the Setup button. (wrench)
Select Network Setup Menu.
Then select Restore Defaults.
Print out a configuration report to make sure the IP address is 0.0.0.0 and the SSID is cleared.
Printing a Configuration Report.
Here are the directions for setting up the printer through the Wireless Direct to configure the printer over the network as Infrastructure.
Turn the Wireless Direct on the printer.
On the printer touch the setup button, (wrench) then select network setup menu, select wireless menu, select wireless direct and turn it on.
On the computer, in the bottom right corner click on the wireless icon and select the printer from the list to connect to. Then open Internet Explorer and type in the IP address (192.168.223.1) for the printer in the address bar.
This will load the embedded web server for the printer.
Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in password and type of encryption. Apply settings.
Click on the wireless icon and connect back to your network name.
Print out a configuration report to make sure the IP address is valid. (192... or 10....)
Now create a new port, this will save you the time, instead of uninstalling and reinstalling the software.
Go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click the printer, go to Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.
Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
Type in the proper IP address for the printer.
Make sure the printer is online.
Test the printer.
If you are still having issues, then try this method:
If you have a Ethernet cable, connect it from the printer to the router.
Wait about a minute, print the configuration page to see if you get a IP address.
Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page.
Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in password and type of encryption. Apply settings.
Then disconnect the Ethernet cable.
Then wait a minute to see if you get a wireless light on the printer, print the configuration page and check the IP address again. Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page.
If the printer is back on the network, create a new port. Steps are listed above.
Make sure the printer is online.
Try and print now.

Officejet pro 8600 will not connect to wireless network

I have an new Officejet Pro 8600 that I am trying to set up. I have run the the wireless network setup wizard multiple times. It recognizes the wireless network router asks for the WEP code and then thinks for about 5 minutes before returning a message: "Unable to connect to the network"
The wireless network test results suggestes that MAC address filtering may be the problem. There is no MAC filtering function activated on our wireless router.
The wireless router is a Verizon Actiontec MI424-WR 802.11 b & n
We have computers running both Windows XP and MAC OS X.
One of the reasons that we purchased this printer is for the wireless capabilities. If it will not conect to the web then it may be going back.

Hello,
Based on the provided details, I believe the issue have something to do with the wireless security settings of your router.
Please follow the steps below to access the Advanced Security Settings:
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSInternet/Networking/Setup/ActiontecMI424/125511.htm
Below you will see the Network Authentication settings.
Select either Open System Authentication or Both.
Shared Key Authentication is not supported by the printer, and i believe this might be the cause for the connection failure.
Please let me know of any change,
Shlomi

Wireless Network Does Not Always Connect Successfully on HP ENVY 5644

Just purchased a new HP ENVY 5644 device to replace an existing my HP Photosmart C4380. Powered the new device on for the first time and ran through the initial setup using the integrated touchscreen. Everything seemed to go both easily and smoothly, without any errors and even connected to my home wireless network on the first attempt.
I next tested both printing and scanning features, each of which provided extremely pleasing results and good performance over the wireless network.
Unfortunately, this is where my happy story ends and the trouble begins!
Having initially setup the device in a temporary location, I correctly powered down in preparation of relocating it to its final resting position. Although this was to be in a different room of the house, it was in fact closer to the wireless network router itself. In reality, we are talking a very negligible distance as the 2 rooms are actually back to back to one another. So now with it in the new position and connected to a power outlet, I switched the device on once again. The device powers up and the blue LED indicator which signifies the wireless connection status, continuously flashes blue rather than a steady solid blue. The flashing blue indicates that the device cannot establish a wireless network connection. If I use the touchscreen to investigate the issue I find that there appears to be an Authentication Problem and the message details are Incorrect wireless password (WPA) entered.
Why has this happened? Nothing has changed, all I did is move the printer into another room!
Believing what the touchscreen tells me, I decided to run the Wireless Setup Wizard once more to affirm the wireless network settings. As expected, it manages to find my home wireless network without any issues and then requests that the password key is entered. I therefore enter this correctly and press apply. It is at this point that the device attempts to make a connection to the network, which unfortunately fails, returning the above error message. However, I know that I entered the password correctly, in fact there is an option to show the password you have entered prior to attempting the connection, which upon checking confirms that the password I entered is the correct one!
So why does it not connect?
I have tried switching the wireless feature on and off several times via the touchscreen interface but this did not resolve the issue. The only way to get the wireless connection back online is to keep switching the device on and off again until the wireless LED indicator stays on solid blue. For no apparent reason, the wireless connection seems to have a mind of its own, only successfully connecting to my wireless network when it wishes to!
I do not have any issues with the numerous other wireless network devices I have in my home, from multiple manufacturers and even located in other multiple rooms of the home. I know my wireless network is good and I know my wireless password like the back of my own hand, so there is no chance of this being incorrect. This is purely a problem for the HP ENVY 5644 device itself, which can be confirmed by the fact that if I switch it off and on again, it might decide to make a successful connection even though I did nothing to its own network configuration nor to my own wireless network configuration itself.
Wondering whether or not it might be some obscure incompatibility between my wireless router and the HP ENVY 5644, I tested the device with another spare router that I have, which was also from a different manufacturer but sadly the result was the same, the HP ENVY 5644 only connected when it wanted to and would only establish the connection to the wireless network upon switching on the device. If the connection fails, it will never connect to the network unless you switch it off and then back on again, which might even require to be attempted several times before successful. Once connected, it appears to remain connected and then functions really well.
This behaviour is not acceptable and I’m sure this can’t be too healthy for the device itself to be switched on and off again in such short cycles. Otherwise, on the whole, as I said earlier, I am very happy with the product.
Can someone at HP tell me why this is happening or suggest what else I need to look for or consider.

Spoke with HP engineer the other day. I explained what was happening and they suggested doing a factory reset and then setting the IP address manually rather than using the DHCP of my home wireless router.
I wasn't too happy about that as everything was setup nicely and working, with the exception of the WiFi not reconnecting on every power on. I had also gone one better in fact, by adding a DHCP reservation within my router using the MAC address of the printer. This in effect is the best of both worlds as the printer will be given the same IP address by the router every time it requests one.
We agreed to leave things as they stand rather than factory reset the printer and that I would now power off the printer everyday. For the past 4 days, the printer has reconnected to the WiFi upon every power on. This is great news.
I have a call scheduled with HP in a few days time to discuss how things have been going. If all continues as is, it would appear than specifying a DHCP reservation in the wireless router resolves the issue. Whilst I await the next call with HP, I am continuing to power on and off the printer on a daily basis.
Watch this space!

Mac Mini Airport Extreme - Cannot detect any wireless networks

Hello,
Last week my Mac Mini (Power PC)'s hard disk crashed. So I did a DIY replacement. I managed to re-install all the software, and installed all the latest updates.
However, for some reason, the Airport Extreme is not detecting any wireless network after the re-install.
My own wireless network router is a third-party, which has been working well for the last 2 years. My Window PC and laptop still connects to it fine.
I can see the Airport icon but it doesn't how any detected networks (and there are quite a few in my neighbourhood). I did Apple Hardware Test and it shows the Airport card to be working ok.
Any help would be wonderful!
Regards,
Leng
Mac Mini G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

It still may be possible that the antenna wire is not placed properly within the Mini. Here are an excerpt of the DIY instructions for installing the wireless antenna. Hope it helps...
- Make sure that the antenna cables are firmly seated in the mezzanine board.
- Pass the antenna cables through the gap at the rear of the internal frame.
- Carefully lower the internal frame down onto the motherboard. Make sure that the wires are routed to the right of the interconnect board.
- Snap the AirPort antenna onto the black plastic column next to the rear port panel.
- Tape the AirPort antenna wire to the edge of the DVD drive.

Your home network must have a wireless router somewhere in the house. All of your wireless devices use the same router password to connect to the network. That's where the password is stored and used. Log into your wireless network router and look under the wireless menu section. You should find your password there. If you have other wireless devices connected to your network maybe one of those will display the password. If your router is also password protected and you can't remember that either then your only solution is to reset the router to factory defaults and start over to rebuild your network. With security becoming more and more important these days most passwords are encrypted and not displayed in the open on any devices, including routers. It's extremely important that you remember or have the password written down somewhere and locked away for just such an occasion. Good luck.

AirPort no current wireless network

Thinking of purchasing Airport Express, however, I don't currently have a wireless network at home. Do I need one in order to use Airport Express?
For purposes of playing my ITUNES library on home stereo, is the AirPort Express all I need or do I also need the AirPort Express or Extreme Base Unit I've read about?
Thanks

Hello rf90305. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Thinking of purchasing Airport Express, however, I don't currently have a wireless network at home. Do I need one in order to use Airport Express?
You do not need an existing wireless network in order to use the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn). In its default mode, the AXn is a wireless network router and will provide its own wireless network when connected to power.
For your HP to communicate with the AXn's wireless network, it would have to be wireless-capable. The AXn is 802.11a/b/g/n-compatible.
For purposes of playing my ITUNES library on home stereo, is the AirPort Express all I need or do I also need the AirPort Express or Extreme Base Unit I've read about?
To stream iTunes, again, your PC needs to be wireless-capable. Beyond that, you just need to connect the AXn, using an audio cable, to your home stereo.

HP Officejet 6000 E609n stops printing periodically on wireless network

I have a Dell laptop with 64 bit Windows 7 on our wireless network. I recently installed this printer on the network. It will print documents I send to it, and then suddenly subsequent documents pile up in the printer que and have "error" listed beside the document names. When I troubleshoot this problem from the printer window, it cannot resolve the problem. The blue wireless light is not on, and pushing that button does not turn it on; I can fix it, by unplugging the printer and plugging it back in, then the blue wireless light comes on, and it prints all the documents in the que, and will continue printing new docs sent over to it for a while, and then suddenly they pile up in the que, and it will no longer print until I unplug it. Could a firewall be the cause or what? I get no messages from the printer telling me that the document failed to print.

I have thesame problem with my c6180
I have to re download the driver. then it works fine foe a while and quits. i redown load the driver and again it works for a while.
if this keeps up i will never buu an HP again

Add Wireless N Router To Network With An Actiontec Router

Hi everyone, I know this wireless N thing is being beaten to death but I just really need to be pointed in the right direction. I recently built a HTPC setup with a SiliconDust HD Homerun network tuner so I could share three tuners with computers on my network. I've got two PCs wired to the network right now which share them fine. But the problem I'm running into is when I try to set up my laptop to watch something wirelessly, usually a game in HD. The signal is very weak and I constantly lose the tuners because of that, not to mention the picture is very choppy. I saw on a Microsoft Windows Media Center site that they don't recommend streaming HD TV feeds over anything other than a wireless N connection. I currently have the standard Actiontec router that came with FiOS, and it doesn't the N band. Now, that router accesses the internet signal through a coax so I know I can't get rid of it, but I've seen mentioned in a couple of places that you can just add a wireless N router into the network and turn off the wireless on the Actiontec router. This is the router I was thinking of getting:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Cisco+Linksys+-+E1200+Wireless-N+Router+with+4-Port+Ethernet+Switch/2225...
My current network setup is like this: Actiontec router upstairs which carries internet to -> a gigabit switch connected to -> computer, tuners, and printer upstairs, with a line run to -> another gigabit switch downstairs which connects to -> a computer, and an XBox.
So a couple of questions about this:
- Where would this go on the network? Would it go after the router and before the switches, like I run the internet into the new router then out to the switch, or can I just add it to one of the switches?
- Will I need to do any sort of port forwarding or anything, or assiging of IP addresses?
- Anything else I should know or might run into?
I love my FiOS service so hopefully this will help me get even more out of it!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I wanted to upgrade to an N protocol wireless router but since Verizon doesn’t offer the option, I purchased a Netgear N600. Unfortunately, after it arrived, I discovered that it didn’t have a coax connection as did the Verizon Actiontec. I then set out to find out how to daisy chain the routers to leave the Actiontec connected to the coax and connect the two routers via Ethernet cable. To my good fortune, during the time I spent on the phone with Netgear, I learned my way around their router interface and with the help of a co-worker that actually has a solid understanding of router/network configuration, I finally got everything working correctly – my port forwarding for RDC login worked, I could connect devices to either router and everything could once again see each other (e.g. PC, printer via Ethernet, Blu-ray player for Netflix, receiver for streaming Windows Media Player). Hopefully, this post will help you get up and running quickly and avoid the several hours I spent groping in the dark for the correct configuration.
Login to Verizon Actiontec router (type 192.168.1.1 into browser address bar).
No configuration changes are necessary on the Actiontec, you just need to identify an open IP address range in My Network section (I chose 192.168.1.50). This will be used as your static IP address of the Netgear router LAN settings.
Connect you PC via Ethernet cable directly into an Ethernet port (not WAN/Internet) on the Netgear router. No other connections are needed at this point.
Note: Do not use the Netgear wizard CD to setup the router. It will not take you through the necessary steps as you’re not setting it up as a router.
Login to the Netgear router (type routerlogin.net into the browser address bar) using the default login of “admin” and password “password”. Depending on your firmware version, your interface may vary but hopefully you’ll be able to find the same configuration options in either but perhaps not in the same order or placement. For subsequent logins after the router is active, you may need to type the Netgear IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.50) as routerlogin.net may open a search.
At the top of the Netgear genie, click on the Advanced tab.
On the left side, expand Setup, then select Internet Setup.
Select “Get dynamically from ISP”, under Internet IP Address.
Under Domain Name Server (DNS) Address, select “Use These DNS Servers”, and enter the IP Address of your Actiontec router (e.g. 192.168.1.1) in the Primary DNS” field.
Next go down a few options within Setup to Wireless Setup.
In the Wireless Network 2.4GHz section, click Enable SSID broadcast.
Enter a meaningful name in “Name (SSID)” as this is what will be displayed for your wireless connection.
For Channel, select Auto.
For Mode, select “Up to 300 Mbps”.
Security Options, recommend WPK2-PSK[AES] for longer/stronger password options.
Set the password of your choice.
Repeat the same process for Wireless Network 5GHz, except vary the name slightly so you’ll be able to distinguish which band you’ll connect to. You can optionally use the same or different password as your 2.4GHz. The only exception is you’ll have to select a Channel of your choice.
Next go down a couple more options within Setup to the LAN Setup.
In the LAN TCP/IP Setup section, enter the IP Address you chose in step 2 (e.g. 192.168.1.50).
Enter the IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Leave the block for “Use Router as DHCP Server” blank as your IP assignment will be handled by your Actiontec router.
You’re now finished with the configuration and you can connect the Actiontec router to the Netgear router using an Ethernet cable using the LAN ports (Note: do not connect the two routers using the WAN/Internet ports on either). You may connect your devices (PC, printers, A/V devices, etc.) to either router. If you have devices that are gigabit capable, you’ll want to connect them to the Netgear router to take advantage of the higher speed.
To avoid any possible interference between the 2.4GHz range of the two routers, you can optionally turn off the Actiontec wireless capability by logging into the Actiontec router admin (described above), go to the My Router tab, and there should be an option for “Change Wireless Settings” in the Quick Links section. Option 1 allows you to turn On/Off the wireless portion of the router.
