RE2000 No Longer Connected to Network

Hello. I have a Linksys EA4500 wireless router which I purchased a few years ago. I was connected to the internet (Time Warner Cable) using one of their modems (just a modem, not a combination modem/wireless router). My wireless router is located in my basement on the far end of my home. I later purchased the Linksys RE2000 to expand the range of my wi-fi network in my home.
This setup was working fine. I was seeing full signal strength on my wireless devices on the first floor of my home on the opposite end from where my wireless router is located. I did experience periods where the wi-fi signal strength would drop while using my smartphone or iPad in my home farthest away from the wireless router. At those times, I would have to unplug the RE2000, wait a few minutes, plug it back in and the signal strength would go back to full strength.
I was recently experiencing Cable/Internet issues (again) so Time Warner came out and gave me a new modem/wireless router. I am still using my own wireless router. I did have some issues with my browsers not working properly which I rectified by "correcting" the connections from the cable in to the modem/wireless router to my wireless router. They had connected my iMac directly to their modem/wireless router rather than to my wireless router.
Ever since that time, my RE2000 does not seem to be rebroadcasting the wireless signal. I have tried just about everything to fix it including trying to Reset it to factory settings using the Reset button on the RE2000 but, that doesn't even work. I also am unable to access the Web set up page for the RE2000. I am at my wit's end and about to give up. Can anyone help me? Is there anyone from Linksys/Cisco out there listening?
Thank you in advance for your time. I hope I have provided enough information for someone to help me diagnose and correct the problem.

Did the power light flashes slowly after you’ve pressed the Reset button? Make sure to press the Reset button for 8 seconds to reset the range extender to its factory defaults. Once done, you will need to plug a computer to the extender’s Ethernet port. Launch a web browser and enter the Linksys range extender’s IP address. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. A prompt will ask for a username and password. Leave the User Name blank and enter “admin” in the Password field. You should now be able to access the web-based setup page of your Linksys range extender.

Apple TV can no longer connect to network after upgrade.

I had heard that lots of people were affected with this problem with the software upgrade before this one so I deliberately waiting until this one came out before taking a chance. I was wrong.
After updating to 4.4. (3140) I can no longer connect to my network. It says there was a problem and gave the error messaged number: (5) in brackets.
I've had nothing but problems with both Apple TV's that I have owned, version 1 and this new version 2. I've a good signal from my router and I've used three different ones over the time I've had the two apple tvs.
Anyone got any ideas.
I can't connect the apple tv directly because they are too far apart in the house. I can only connect by wifi.
There is nothing wrong with my wifi because I'm connected to it fine though my imac, iphone and ipad and laptop, (not all at the same time)

Ok, here's a solution, courtesy of our friends at AppleCare.
Unplug the router for 90 seconds.
I was running ATV2 with a Time Capsule. The TC thought the ATV was still connected using its former IP address so wouldn't let it reconnect with a new one.
Hope this works for anyone else with same problem.

I recently installed itunes update and can no longer connect to network nor internet

I recently (sept 2013) installed itunes update and can no longer connect to a network nor internet wired /wireless. I know it is not the gateway as other devices work. Please help. I am not very knowledgable so exact instructions will be most helpful.

Try connecting your computer/laptop directly to the base station with an ethernet cable to one of the external ports and install your network settings. If it finds it there, it will find it after you've reloaded your network info to the base via the Apple Utility. Hopefully when you disconnect afterward, all will be fine. Be sure not to select "closed" network although Macs will login with no prolem, PC's have trouble doing so even with the network data stored in the internet settings.
Good luck!

Time Machine will no Longer connect to network drive.. Although the drive is visible and accessible by the system.

Time Machine was working fine, until one day back up was failing due to being unable to delete the old backup. now it will no longer connect to the network drive although the external drive is accessible through the system.. any ideas?

Time Machine is completely unrlable on any networked drive unless that drive is connected to one of the new Airport Extremes. I'm not surprised that you're encountering problems with it if you're using a networked drive. Can you plug the drive into your MacBook Pro and see if it will backup? The backups may - probably are - corrupt.

Mac Pro no longer connects to network via ethernet.

Since coing back from Thanksgiving break and my Mac Pro 1,1 will no longer connect to my router through via ethernet. This means I can neither connect to internet nor connect to devices like my laptop and Apple TV. Strangely, I can still connect to my Mac Pro from these devices to share screen, play audio/video through iTunes, etc. In Network Settings, I still have a green dot, and I still get an IP address assigned (though I usually use a fixed IP). If I go into my router (Netgear WNDR4000), the router tells me that the Mac Pro 1,1 is connected to the network.
I already have tried the following solutions:
· Restarting router, modem, and computer
· Making a new location in Network Settings
· Trying different ethernet ports
Please Help!

Your local LAN runs through your router.
All your ethernet ports, and your modem and router, should be behind and filtered from excess current. That means a UPS generally. And run input line thru UPS (coax) first, then run RJ45 back through UPS again (there can still be excess surge or current on the line).
Modems and routers can be compromised by surge outage or storm. So can ethernet ports.
You have two ethernet ports and you tried with both also.
What you did not do that I would have added is SMC Reset / Reset NVRAM/PRAM.
This is what I have had for the last year, very nice and stronger signals thruout the house.

Configurator, iPads update iOS will no longer connect to network

Managing 30 iPad 4s with Bretford cart, Mac Mini.
On a recent update to iOS 7.0.4, it seems that not all of my iPads took it nicely. Only 3 worked like I expected in fact, and function as they did before. 27 others will no longer connect to the network I had deployed as a package in Configurator. In fact, they went back to the beginning welcome / setup screen for the OS reload.
Is there something that I can try before I just set these all to erase and re-prepare them?

Update: I unplugged all, and manually plugged in one iPad.
I unsupervised, and prepared it again, reloaded all the apps, and got the same result.
Once the iPad shows up in Configurator as prepared, and in my supervised list, it seems good to go: BUT
as soon as I turn it on, it shows me the "Hello" welcome screen, asks to join the network, and seems to freeze. The iPad goes to sleep without it receiving a connection.

Apple tv no longer connected to network

So as of last night I can longer connect my apple tv to the network
I have restarted the apple tv, I have restarted my router, I have moved location of my apple tv and still get "Apple TV isn't connect to the network"
When I go to the network section it says I have no strength and when I try to connect it comes up with "There was a problem connecting to the network"
I have ipad, ipod and laptop that are all connection without any issues.
Does anyone know why it all of a sudden stopped working. We have had it for almost 1 year and none of these issues
Interestingly enough if I stay on the about Apple TV section ... signal strength will come back for 5-6 seconds then disappear again???
Thanks

zfrommelbourne,
Sounds very strange... You can try this solution below:
The list of available networks that displays in the Configure Wi-Fi / Configure Wireless screen does not update automatically when new resources become available in range of your Apple TV. To refresh the list:
Press the Menu button.
Navigate to Settings > General > Network > Configure Wi-Fi (or Configure Wireless on Apple TV 1st generation).
Press Select/Play/Pause to display a refreshed list of available networks.

My old Mac no longer connects to network. ideas?

I have an awesome old cube that I use to connect to the network and play music for the room it's in using the tunes library from another computer. My problem is that since I changed to a static IP on my network, I can no longer see the LAN. It connects fine to the WAN through the cable modem, which it's plugged into via ethernet, but it only uses DHCP for it to work. When I manually enter the modem's ip, (gateway/router), it gives me an error that the address is not on this computer's subnet anywhere and to change the address.
It is a long, long way to the other computer, so wiring directly is not an option. It used to connect fine with the same setup, when I had a dynamic address system. Here's my setup:
Comcast cable modem - coax to the net
Airport express - ethernet to the modem. Only one ethernet port
several wireless computers connect via Airport
Cube is plugged into cable modem via ethernet
Cube is on OS X 10.3.9 and has no wireless capability
I've tried using the subnet comcast gave me and also the basic DHCP subnet mask, but neither work. I've even tried to use the static ip of the airport ex as the router, but no.
What am I missing? I guess I could get an airport extreme, and use the extra ethernet port to connect and that would work, but I kind of think there should be a no cost solution here.
Thanks for any help,
DD

Hi Dennas,
Not sure what numbers you're using, but it sounds as if you might be confusing the Outside IP with the internal Router's IP, not sure.
Generally the one you want to use will start with 192.168.x.y, or 10.0.x.y, then it'd look something like this...
IP: 192.168.0.9
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.0.1
or...
IP: 10.0.0.9
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.0.0.1
All Computers should have the same Router IP & Subnet Mask, but only the 1st 3 numbers of the IP are the same, the 4th number has to be different, & if Static you need to set that 4th number higher than the number of computers connected+1 so DHCP ones won't get duplicate IPs.
Does that get us any closer?

HP 1102W no longer connects to network

After many months of trouble-free use, I can no longer print from my laptop (Toshiba Satellite E 105-S1402). Each job ends with "Error printing." I downloaded the Diagnostic Utility (which told me my printer was not found on the network). The first self test page said I was connected but said the IPv4 address and the Gateway address were the same (not good?). I thought the drivers might need updating. So I tried to a wireless installation of the software but the URL would not load. Then I did a USB installation. But that did not help. I still cannot print. And I must have pressed the wrong buttons, because now the self test shows 0.0.0.0 for both (and the IP configure is now "Manual" instead of AutoIP.) The blue wireless light is NOT illuminated; when I push it I get a fluttering light that eventually disappears. In short, everything is worse. I am running Windows Vista 64 bit with Service Pack 2.
Can anyone help a poor old technoprimitive? Thank you.

The product you have is a commercial printer. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.
You may find the Commercial Laserjet board here.

Core i7 no longer connecting to network

I received my Core i7 a couple of weeks ago. It's wireless connection to the Internet worked fine at first, then after a few days the computer wasn't finding the network and required my password (which worked at first), then a few days/reboots later, the network interface stopped taking my password at all and now I'm not able to connect to the Internet with the i7.
My other two iMacs on the network -- Core Duo's running Tiger -- still connect wirelessly with network fine.
I called AppleCare and the tech told me that the Quest Actiontec DSL modem I'm using has WEP security, which she said is too old and vulnerable for the new i7 technology and that WEP is no longer supported by Apple.
I'm in the process of trying to change the security settings on the Actiontec modem from WEP to WPA (as per AppleCare's recommendation), and at the same time I'm looking into upgrading to a router to interface with the modem.
Considering this, which routers are recommended: Airport Express, Airport Extreme, 3rd parties?
Any feedback to help find a solution to get my i7 reliably reconnected to the Internet would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Whether the problem with your network is being caused by the router or the wireless card I'd still upgrade your wireless security settings. WEP has been mentioned as a problem with several users on this forum in the last year or so.
WEP has been childs-play to crack since about 2003? Anybody can download a free sniffer program and figure out the password in less that a minute. I first saw this done on the old TechTV show with Leo Laporte. They used a high school kid to demonstrate how easy this is...
Just about any currently shipping router supports WPA2-PSK (Password Shared Key), and you can use a long password for added security (no words in the dictionary, throw in some numbers, and the longer the better). Your new Mac will support N speeds and N routers are required to provide that speed. The routers will also support the slower G speed your other Mac's may be limited to. WPA2-PSK has not been cracked and is now supported with even WinXP if you have SP3 installed.
I put in a couple wireless routers or hubs a month. I've been having good luck with Belkin routers (only one has failed in the last 3 or 4 years). They are fairly simple to set up. I just throw away the disk and log into the default gateway address and set them up manually.
http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/belkin-n-wireless-router/4505-3319_7-33361546.ht ml
I usually pick up this kind of item at NewEgg.com
This router also has a neat feature of being able to provide a guest password for wireless for internet access but no access to other machines on the network, or full access to the internet and your other machines with a different password. I've set this up in a couple of coffee house/bars so that they can provide internet access but not open their machines up to visitors.

Can no longer connect to network

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to put this. All of a sudden my iPhone or my daughter's iPod can connect to the network. The router password is correct and up until Saturday night we were all connected. My daughter's boyfriend tried to connect to the network tonight, put in the correct password and he got a message that he could not connect to the network the same message my daughter and I are having. Unfortunately no one at Linksys was able to help me unless I paid $29.99 or updated my modem for $79.99. Thank you in advance.

@LinK0514, is your wireless network using the same name that you were using since the initial setup? If it is using the same name, we can say that the wireless password was changed or due to wireless interference, wireless devices could not connect. Before resetting the router, try to check if the internet is working using computers that are connected wired (via ethernet) to the router. If yes, try accessing the router page (depends on the router model) using it's default IP Address 192.168.1.1. Or you can check the router's IP Address using the steps on this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=8156bfe4bddc4b6ebed5bc250633e036_4760.xml&pid=80&r...
If you acquired the IP Address, you can access the router page using the steps on this link and check your wireless settings: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=476326f36c294e579ba6691a8db5411e_3698.xml&pid=80&r...

OfficeJet 8600 Pro no longer connects to network

I've been using my OfficeJet Pro 8600 on a local network, with a wireless connection to a router. Now the printer will not connect to the router.
I can ping the printer from the router, so the wireless hardware is working. I can print when connected with a USB cable, and scan to a USB memory stick, so the print/scan hardware is working.
WiFi Protected setup does not work. When prompted I press the router's button for 3 seconds, the printer sees that because I get a "Connecting to the Network" roundy-roundy, but it times out instead of completing the connection.
The WiFi Connection Wizard does not work. The scan for available networks finds my network, but when I enter the password, I get a "Trying to Connect to the Network" roundy-roundy, followed by a message "Invalid wireless password (WPA) entered."
The printed report assures me that wireless is on and working, but that the WPA passphrase I entered in the printer does not match the wireless router setting. This is false--it's the same password my computer uses and the computer has no problem connecting. I've changed the passphrase on the router (and the computer) and tried the new passphrase on the printer, but that doesn't work either.
Is there a way to clear the printer memory and restore factory defaults that may help?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Temporarily remove the password and all security off the router. Save settings. Now try to connect the printer to your unsecured SSID with no password. Are you successful? If yes, go back and add WPA2-AES encryption with your password and try to connect again. Do not use WPS.

MBP no longer connects to network via Airport

today my MBP will not connect to my network via airport. Several other apple devices connect to the network no problem. MBP connects to the network OK via ethernet cable.
When I try to connect it just keep prompting for network password & user password, generates spinning wheel but then returns invalid password dialogue box. Tried several times and no success - occasionally there is an additional dialogue box " Apple80211agent......."
Pass word is fine as 5 other devices connect without any issue. What is going on?
Incidentally, just thought to create another Airport connection and hey presto it connects.
Still confused.

Leopard iMac can No Longer Connect to Network Drive

We've had a new iMac in my office for 2 1/2 months and have never had this problem. When we first set it up, we set it up to connect automatically to a shared drive on our corporate network. However, today it suddenly stopped connecting and tells us A) our username and password are bad or B) it can't find the drive. We've tested the username to map the drive on our Windows machines and made sure that the account has the proper permissions, but it still won't allow us to connect. I'm wondering how to correct this issue and prevent it from occurring in the future.
I realize I've been kind of vague in this post - if more information is needed, please let me know.
Thanks.

The problem was identified as a network problem, not one with the iMac.

Can no longer connect to network server after upgrading dsl modem

While I was working on a file that resides on a network server, the router was powered down so on reboot it would communicate with a dsl modem . After the router was power up I could not reconnect to the server.
I have internet access
The mini can see the server in the finder and the server sees the mini
This is not a wireing issue.
When I try to connect I get this message:
"The file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP Protocol. You cannot connect"
The server is an old mac running os 9.1. I've read that 9.1 is not compatible with 10.4.8. But it worked just fine this morning.
There are other macs (cubes) running 9.2 I can connect to them.
I've tried restarting and logging on as a differernt user. no change

Thanks for your help
I made no changes to the mini or the server.
The router was shut down then on restart the new (replaced modem) was configured by using another mac on the network (not the file server)
Once the router and modem were online again, other macs running 9.2 were accessing the file server as usual. The mini was not.
I had been working on a file that resides on the server. I was not warned that the router was going to be shut down. When I saved the file I got the beach ball then error message.
It'll be next week before I'm in the office agin. I'll report back then. Thanks
