Resetting and wireless security...

hi there,
last night i got my AEBS and after setting it up it worked fine and dandy. But today within the last hour i realised there is no wireless security when i could have sworn i set it up when i did the airport utility. so i went to set up wireless security and still on system preferences it does not show up that it has wireless security.
Also after resetting the base station after clicking 'update' the base station doesnt usually reappear unless i manually reconnect to it.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
oh and while i'm on here, I have connected my AEBS to my 802.11g/b router i used as it has a built in modem. The wireless network works fine on it and I have set my AEBS to 802.11n only, does this mean i am okay running both wireless networks?

oh can i also just slip in there my macbook doesn't think my router has a wpa2 key even though i set it on my base station. my base station says wireless security is on. regardless of weather its in my keychain or not. i have changed it a fair few times...

  • WRT54G keeps resetting the SSID name and wireless security

    Over the past few weeks, my WRT54G (which I've had for about 18 months) has been resetting itself by changing the SSID name back to the default "linksys" and losing wireless security. I have updated the firmware.
    Any ideas of what is going on here?
    Thanks.

    After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    Routers seem to be sensitive to electrical surges and noise. This can cause them to loose their settings. You should keep your router plugged into a high quality surge suppressor with EMI/RFI filtering, such as the Belkin SurgeMaster Gold Series. A surge suppressor alone is not enough because surge suppression does not start until the voltage exceeds 330 volts. Alternatively, most UPS devices have both surge suppression and EMI/RFI filtering.
    If this does not prevent your router from "forgetting" its settings, then the router is malfunctioning, and it should be replaced. A router that forgets its settings is not secure.

  • Connecting laptop to WRT350N and wireless security

    Hi, I have the following problem. I need to connect a laptop to WRT350N router. Everything works OK if I do NOT use wireless security. If I use PSK (WAP) then at the Preferred Network screen I set the settings to WAP/PSK and enter the shared key. However, this setting is overruled again and again. I can not save it. If I select my network from the networklist, many times the laptop doesn't even ask for the shared key. And if it does then it acts as if I have installed WEP on the router (which isn't the case!). I use Windows XP Home. Does anyone know what the problem is and how to solve it? Many thank, JFX

    I have a second laptop connected to the router which works ok with both the non-secured and the WAP/PSK-secured environment. The one that is not working is a Sony Vaio with LAN-express AS 802.111g card for which I have the latest driver installed. For the WRT350N also the latest firmware installed (WRT350N v2 firmware 2.016) JFX

  • I dont receive password reset and my security questions are wrong

    My account was locked for 'security reasons'. My security questions are always wrong and i have a feeling my alternative email address is one that no longer exists.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • Help with setting up wireless security with mac

    We have just set up a Linksys WRT54G on a pc, and it connects to the internet fine. the problem is, anyone can connect.
    I do not understand how to set up a password for this so no one can leach off my internet connection.
    I tried to put in a code but it didnt work.
    is there a step by step way to do this?

    FAQs are on the linksys support pages. For wireless security there are a few. One is here:
    http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=759
    However, I would not configure WEP as described there but WPA or better WPA2. New iMacs support WPA2. WEP can be cracked within a few minutes.
    If it still does not work, please post the exact settings you are using in your router (Wireless tab and Wireless Security tab) and the settings you are trying on your mac.

    Hi I run the 6.0.2 patch and I stiil have the same problem, no wifi connection even if i change the wireless antenna and the security any ideas??

    There are two steps to the update for an iPhone 5. First you run the patch then you update the iOS. Did you do both? And does iOS 6.0.2 show up in Settings > General > About > Version
    The first thing apple will tell you to do if you bring them the phone is to reset the phone. Try that before going any further.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • WRTN300 wireless security resetting

    I have enabled my routers Wireless Security mode (WEP), configured the clients to use the key and all is well. Then a day or so later the Router mysteriously resets and the SSID goes back to LinkSys_Safexxx and the keys are gone. Clients fail.
    I have downloaded the latest firmware (WRT300N-v1.1_1.51.2) but at 6% it gives a 'Firmware upgrade Failed' message. I have a WRT300N v1, the download only offers 1.1 & 2.0. Non-wireless functionality on the router still works.
    For now I have disabled the Wireless Security but the resetting is still occuring. I have restored to Factory Settings to see if this stops the reset.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance Brent
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Download the router's firmware from here
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...See if this resolves your concern...
