RE6500 does not see my network at all

I just purchased the RE6500 to get better range from my Smart rg SR360n DSL wireless router, but when I log into the range expander, it doesn't see my wireless network at all. I have placed it everywhere in the house, including right next to the wireless router. Every other piece of equipment I own sees the network with no problem, even the ones at the extreme end of its range. Did I buy a $100 paperweight?

@Dalvoline, adjusting the wireless settings of the router/Access Point could greatly improve your network's overall wireless performance. I suggest you use tools, like Wifi Analyzer, to determine the best channel for your network. Relocate the extender and other devices to minimize the physical obstruction.

New macbook does not "see" my network, old macbook pro and iphones do...

Yesterday I installed an upgrade to my airport extreme base station, now my macbook pro and the 2 iphones in the household see the wifi network but the other macbook does not. It does see the neighbors wifi networks and will see it when I connect via a cable to the base station by no wireless connection... help!

I am having a similar problem. I have 19 iBooks in a classroom and, suddenly, none of them can see the AirPort Express network when they log on. Instead, the iBooks try to connect to a Windows-based school network. I have designated the AEBS network as the only preferred network but the iBooks NEVER try to connect to it first. However, if you click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar, the AEBS network is clearly visible and clicking on it immediately connects you to the AEBS network.
When I originally set up the network in January, everything worked just fine. After the upgrade to AE Firmware 5.7 and various OS X 10.4.5 updates, everything has gone downhill. I had the dropped signal problem that so many have reported. I downgraded to AE Firmware 5.5.1 and followed J. Exby's procedure to upgrade the AEBS framework. That solved the dropped signal problem. But now my iBooks cannot find the AEBS network when they log in.
I have set the AirPort Network Preferences to connect Automatically or to Preferred Networks with the same result. I have also set the option to "Keep looking for recent networks" and it never finds our AEBS network. Yet, the network can be accessed manually through the AirPort icon.
BTW, I use one of the iBooks myself and it works perfectly and finds my preferred network in 2 other locations with non-AEBS networks. But it cannot see its own preferred network in school.
This is really bugging my students--and me! Any suggestions? THANKS!

Kechain does not show Airport Network in All Categories

I want to find out what my password is for a network so i can hook up another computer. I'm using a mac powerbook G4.
When I go to Keychain Access, firstly, the Network does not show up at all , even though i am connected to Internet. When I type in the name of the network up by the hourglass/search input, then it comes up, but when I chec 'show password' box, it rejects my user password. i have tried to 'show password' for other Airport Networks, by using the exact same user PW, and it works, but not for the actual NW i am on and want to find pwrd for. Any ideas ? Thanks. I have restarted the puter, network still doesn't show up unless i

Hi,
When I go to Keychain Access, firstly, the Network does not show up at all
Open Keychain Access. Select Passwords on the left.
In the search field top right corner of that window type in: airport
Press return or enter on your keyboard. That will highlight your network keychain.

Powerbook does not see home network

Hi, my powerbook has simply stopped seeing ANY networks in my apartment. I have an iMac G5 and a Desktop G4 and they both see my airport express and my neighbors networks no problem. I took the laptop into a store the other day and it saw the store's network immediately and worked fine - i took laptop home and it worked for about 5 mins before shutting off again. Very odd. Can anyone help? All three machines are running 10.4.3
Many thanks,

Can't test this out here at home, but I did some searching and found:

as well as:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1359723&tstart=0
The main thing what seems to be the case here is that you need to identify on your Mac what the Windows workgroup name is you use.
You do this as follow:
System Preferences (under the Apple icon) -> select the network adapter you use to connect to your network, I will assume here because its a laptop that you use wireless, so make sure "Airport" is selected. At the bottom you will also see a small lock (left-bottom corner), make sure it is unlocked and if not click on it to unlock it. Now click on "Advanced" to go to the advanced configuration of your Airport and there click on the WINS tab. For WorkGroup, enter the Workgroup name of your home network. If you don't know what it is, then on your Windows computer right-click on "My computer", click on "Properties" and then go to the "Computer Name" tab. It will tell you there.
So enter that workgroup name on the Mac, click on OK and then on "Apply". Wait for a little while and then in the Finder sidebar (on the left), under Shared you should see your Windows PCs appear.
If you do not see the Shared in the sidebar, go to the Preferences of the Finder (Finder -> Preferences), go the the Sidebar pane and make sure "Connected Servers" and "Bonjour" are selected.
If it works then I would suggest you go and also do this for your Ethernet network adapter as the WINS setting would not be filled in there yet, this will ensure that when you connect your MPB using wired that you will still have the Windows stuff.
Hope this helps, sadly not something I can test here so I hope that my information is accurate.

Airport Extreme card does not see any networks...help!

I have a home network that is working fine - 2 linksys routers with WDS set up... it all works great - an Ibook g4 running 10.3 and has an Airport Extreme card connects flawlessly everyday. As does an old G4 powerbook with an old airport card.
however, I have this dual g4 with 10.4.3 running, and a recently-installed airport extreme card.
When I turn airport "on" it never sees our network. And it doesn't see my neighbors' networks, either, which are also always visible.
I can, howevr, connect via ethernet to the router that is somewhat nearby. that networking is fine...I can get on wired, but not wirelessly.
I've installed the 2005-1 update, and have run Software Update as well to see if there are any other patches/updates necesary. so as far as I can tell, I am up to date.
system profiler says:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 404.2 (3.90.34.0.p16)
Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
and in the extensions section for the airport, it says:

I am at a loss. Is there anything else I can do before writing off the card as a bad card - or perhaps the logic board is faulty?
I hope there is a simple solution to this. I appreciate your expert help.

Go back and recheck the Airport Extreme card installation. Make sure you plugged the connector for the internal Airport antenna into its socket on the Airport Extreme card itself - and make sure the plug is fully seated into its socket (none of the metal sleave should be showing).

Access connections does not see wireless networks but can connect if you know the SSID

Running a Thinkpad x200 using windows 7 and Access Connections 5.42.
A few weeks ago i was traveling and was connecting to a hotel wireless network.
Could receive email but wasn't able to send email due to hotel port restrictions so long-story short version-- IT staff at hotel told me to connect via LAN. Which i did by simply plugging in LAN line to the thinkpad and to the hotel -- port -- no other changes. have done this a million times at home and elsewhere.
All is well....
until....
I get home and i notice that when i use access connections, it doesn't see any wireless connections (no icons in the radar screen). It automatically connects to my home network and i can use the home profile to connect. Same for any connection that i know the SSID for -- i can't see it but i can connect to it.
But it doesn't show any icons during "find" or find again. It only shows the home icon i am connected to. If i disconnect and try to find wireless networks. It doesn't show any.
So i know
1) radio is working
2) can connect via lan
3) can connect to a known wireless if i know the SSID and either manually configure it or if i have the profile saved
4) i have run antivirus, malwarebytes - etc -- all clean
5) have rebooted, turned radio on off
6) system restore doesn't help
7) all wireless networks are now invisible to radar screen. Have tried this at starbucks, around town - etc -- available wireless network icons are invisible
I'm not sure that hooking up LAN in the hotel did anything but it seems too coincidental. Also seem to recall a thread where this has been known to happen.
Help!!!

First off, it sees the networks. That's good. You reset network settings which usually corrects a number of problems. Let's focus on your home network and getting connected to that.
1. Reboot your router (just power it off for 10 secs). Try to connect. If it works, you are done. If not, step 2
2. Reset your network settings again. However, this time log onto your network by tapping Settings > WiFi > Other and re-entering your network name, security settings, and password.
Check your connection by tapping the blue > next to the network name with the checkmark. If your IP starts with 169.x, then you are connected but your router is not issuing you an IP address. This leads to a couple of additional problem areas - WEP encryption and outdated router firmware.
If you continue to have problems, tell us which router/model, security settings used, etc.

Printer does not see new network in Setup Assistant - Photosmart C4385

I changed routers, so have a new network SSID. Have pinter connected to a Mac with USB cable. Want to set up wireless access to printer. In HP Setup Assistant the error message first says "No WiFi Network Discovered". I try the option to type in teh name of teh network but receive error message "Network Unavailable - The selected Wi-Fi network "(my network name)" is not within reach of the device. But the printer is only 25 feet from the touter and immediately next to the Mac which is connected to the Wi-Fi network.
In Wireless menu I selected "Wireless Radio ON". TEst configuration page shows Radio On, Radio Working, but Network Name (SSID) Not applicable.

Welcome to the forums!

Laptop does not see wireless j4680 printer

I have an HP Officejet J4680 printer connected wirelessly to my HP desktop (Windows Vista os). I am attempting to print from my lenovo t500 laptop (Windows XP os) which is using the same wireless network as the desktop. I have set the printer as shared on the desktop and am trying to install the printer on the laptop but am not able to. When I use the 'Ass a Printer' Wizard I have tried both the Network and the local printer options. It does not see the printer at all. Any suggestions? The laptop is for work and I log on to business via VPN - do not know if thisis a factor.
Thanks in advance for any guidance
Jane

I am confused. You say that the printer is connected wirelessly to an HP desktop. Is this through a router? What kind?
While connected via VPN no other network devices can be accessed (like a networked printer) nor can any other device access the computer on a VPN.

G3/OS 10.3 does not recognize the network

I just mounted a new Airport network card into a (WiFi capable slot) iMac G3 (576 Mb RAM) running OSX 10.3. After restart, the Airport icon in the toolbar is present, albeit all gray, as one would expect before connecting.
My network is served by a D-Link 801.11G WiFi router. SSID is not cloaked - it is broadcast and freely accessible: It works, several (non-Apple) laptops recognize the network and connect to it fine.
However, my iMac does not see the network, neither from the Airport icon in the toolbar nor scanned from the Airport Setup Wizard. I located the iMac right next to the WiFi point to eliminate any signal strength/interference issues.
I will bring an Airport iBook G4 as well as an Airport Express wireless point to check if there is something wrong with this iMac's card, and will also bring in a long CAT5 patch cord to hard-connect the G3 (to download any Airport patches or firwmare upgrades), but was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on why a non-cloaked 802.11G network would not be recognized by my iMac.

Ensure that you have the antenna wire properly connected to the AirPort card in the iMac.
Also ensure that your D-Link is configured to work either in 802.11b/g or "802.11b only" mode. Since the original AirPort card in your iMac is 802.11b, your router must be in a 802.11b compatible mode.

IPhoto does not see my camera

iPhoto '09 did see my new Panasonic camera at first, and I could import the images and videos without any issues.
Now - a day later - there is some images and movies on my camera's SDHC card, and it does not see the camera at all. I do see the camera card in the finder. So the card is readable. It is just that all of sudden iPhoto does not see it anymore. I tried hence and forth restarting iPhoto and camera but no luck.
The only thing I did in between was loading of a bunch of images from my camera card (via Camera Connector Kit) to my iPad 3. And removing the images (the iPad 3 does not seem to recognize the videos - which is another issue...) via the Photo app on iPad. I then wanted to load the videos (and some new images I tookl direcfly to iPhoto on my iMac. But htat now does not seem to work.
Any tips are much appreciated!

Try these:
1) Go to Disk Utilities and repair permission -- see if it works. If not go to #2
2) If that doesn't work d/l a program call OnyX. Make sure you get the the specific version for the version of OS X you are running. Run the program and go to Maintenance and run all three options Permissions (reset home directory checked), Scripts (run all, but don't delete logs), and rebuild (check LaunchServices and dyld's shared cache). Then go to Cleaning. In System check Kernal and Extentions and Other components. In User make sure at least Applications and Temporary items are checked. You can check the others if you want - no harm will come, just more time. You will be asked to restart your computer each time, but ignore until you have reached this point. When you have done all of the above reboot
Test again. Your camera shoud show up.
