RG No Longer "Sees" Second Network

I have been a Uverse customer since 2012. I have a Pace 3801HGV RG. At the time my service was installed, I had just bought a Linksys EA2700 router. The AT&T installer set up the Linksys router in an upstairs bedroom to serve as a second wireless network. It has worked fine for the past 3 years until a couple of weeks ago. Now none of my wireless devices can find the Linksys. When I log in to the RG, it shows the Linksys as an Active Ethernet connection. I've reset both devices numerous times, but don't know what else to try. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The Linksys is on an Ethernet cable correct?Unplu cable from device and plug a laptop or similar internet device in, can you connect to the internet? If yes no issues with cable or port on the 3801 RG, if no try changing to different port on RG, if good then bad port... If not good most likely your Ethernet cable. If internet device works but Linksys does not, then you need to replace the Linksys, three years for a wireless circuit before failure is not that uncommon.

IPod Touch no longer sees home network

My iPod Touch has been successfully connecting to our home network for years and suddenly no longer even sees it. It can see other networks (neighbors, home office, etc.) but not our home network. Our MacBook Pro still connects just fine to the network, retrieves mail, surfs, downloads, etc., suggesting something is amiss with the Touch.
I've upgraded to Lion as of yesterday,and upgraded to iOS 4.2.1 for the Touch. I was hopping THAT would solve the problem, but nothing. Still no success connecting with the Touch and the MacBook Pro still connects perfectly.
Oh, I've also RESET the iPod Touch Network settings.
Any suggestions for other things to try? Again, NO changes have been made to network hardware, only to software. What do I need to tinker with or adjust on the Touch?

luvlabs elsewhere has answered this same problem with an amazingly simple fix: reboot Time Capsule. That is, unplug it, wait about 15 seconds and plug it back in. It will take 30 seconds or so to get up to speed, discoverable, etc., but then my iPod Touch had NO trouble connecting. I had to type in my password for use of the network, but now it's back to its normal operation. Thank you luvlabs! [I love labs, too, BTW! Big shout out to Grimmy!]

IPod Touch No Longer Sees Home Network - Has Been Fine For The Past Year!

Tried to connect my ipod to the internet this morning and it connected fine, then the signal dropped out and back in again.
It did the hokey cokey for a while before dissconnecting all together, now it wont even see the SSID of my network.
Ive tried reseting the network settings, reseting the ipod, inputting the nework info manualy and deleting recently downloaded apps.
I went through all the info on the apple website and followed the instructions etc.
I havnt changed anything on my router or ipod and all my other devices connect fine (2nd ipod touch, laptop etc).
On a couple of occasions it has seen my network and ive managed to connect only for it to dissapear again seconds later!
Reset my router (Netgear DG834g) and disabled the security, it saw the network so I selected it and the 'tick' came up by its name but the iPod wasnt assigned an IP or DNS etc then it said 'cannot connect to network (network name)'.
Now on a couple of occasions the ipod has lost its mac address and had no wi-fi options what so ever!
Any help would be appreciated.

Exactly the same issue for me, this is a replacement iPod I got 3 days ago due to a battery issue.. it has been working perfectly since I got the replacement iPod touch, but now, it picks up no networks at all even though there are at least 4 nearby which it used to pickup.. If I take my iPod right next to the router I get a single bar signal but get the "could not connect to the internet" error and the network is disconnected. I am taking my iPod to the nearest Apple store tomorrow. It's an iPod touch 1g 8GB by the way..
EDIT: And I have tried it on 3 different networks, at college and at home and doesn't pick up any of them, so I highly doubt it's a router issue..

C7280 Printer no longer sees my network

I was printing just fine from my C7280 printer this morning - but as of this afternoon the printer no longer see's my router. When I go to Network and do the Wireless Setup Wizard it will see routers in neighboring apartments, and even my iPhone, but doesn't see my main router that it's always been connected to. I've rebooted the printer, re-started the router, upgraded the firmware in the router, made sure I was running the latest HP drivers on my laptop, and I even plugged on through USB and the printer worked fine. I also reset the printer by holding down the #3, then #6, and finally #9 as I started it up. In every case - the printer still can't see my router. Any thoughts?
The router is an Airport Extreme running the latest firmware. All of my other devices still see the router just fine.
Also - I printed a network report from the printer. It states the Radio On - Passed, Radio Working - Passed, Network Name (SSID) Found - Fail.
Thanks,
Don

OK, on the front of the printer, in the Network menu, Restore Network Defaults. Try again.
If that does not work, make sure that your Airport is:
1. Broadcasting its SSID.
2. Set to use WPA encryption.
3. Have 802.11g mode enabled (along with others is fine).

Airport no longer sees any networks

PowerBook G4
OS X 10.4.11
This is my music jukebox, and it's been working great until connectivity to wireless networks disappeared.
There are dozens of wireless networks here, yet the "bars" are grayed out, unable to see any networks at all. Other laptops see mine and the others fine.
Is there a way to reinstall just the network software? My installer seems to want to reinstall 10.4 completely at which time I'd have to upgrade to 10.4.11 again, etc. Used to be that one could repair/install selected components.

Well, I took the Airport card out, disconnected the antenna, reattached and reseated the card...still no good.
Then I remembered having an old Lucent WaveLan Silver card. Downloaded the driver from http://www.ioxperts.com/products/80211b_X.html. This worked.
Also, here they suggest you can rip the antenna off a Lucent card and replace the Airport card with it: http://www.schwie.com/brad/?p=15. I think I'll leave it like this until I get a new MacBook and our current MacBook becomes the jukebox server.
Thanks for all your help! This process at least got it running again. I appreciate it.

Photosmart B 209 no longer sees WIFI network since I've moved from WEP to WPA

My HP Photosmart was working well until my ISP has asked me to change the name of my WIFI network (now includes underscore symbols) and the protection type has changed from WEP to WPA....Paswword has not changed, it's just the type of protection
Since then, the printer doesn't see anymore the WIFI network. I've printed a Network report and it says I need to check that SSID network & printers are the same....
My old network SSID was : Freebox and it has moved to : FREEBOX_BRUNO_DH.
Where can this be changed on the printer ???
Thanks for your help
Regards
This question was solved.

Why is your ISP dictating what your SSID name will be??? This is not right. You can make the SSID name anything you want, but I would not use what your ISP has said. It's YOUR network, do what you want. Make the SSID and password for you.

After the Airport update today, Airport Utility no longer sees my new Extreme or my 2 new Airport Express relay stations (same network); however, my internet is working and all Airports are green?

After the Airport update today, Airport Utility 6.0 no longer sees my new Extreme or my 2 new Airport Express relay stations (same network); however, my internet is working and all Airports are green? I'm running Lion on my iMac and updated when Airport Utility prompted me to do so a few hours ago. After applying the updates is when Airport Utility stopped seeing my routers. But they are working? Thoughts?

Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
Check the network

Solaris 11 host no longer sees a ZyXEL wifi network router

This issue is on a Toshiba Tecra M10 running Oracle Solaris 11.1 SRU 0.5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.2
The once functional wifi network iwh0 (net1) no longer sees a ZyXEL NBG-416N wifi network router.
The e1000g (net0) can connect to the router when direct connected via TP ethernet cable from the laptop wired ethernet port.
There are other wifi networks visible from iwh0 (net1) when the command 'dladm scan-wifi' is run.
When attempting to connect with the 'dladm connect-wifi' command (I know the command is good I recall it from the shell command history) .. I get "no wifi networks with the specified criteria are available"
The laptop is able to connect to one of the other wifi routers over this interface however not my own router (which appears to no longer be visible from Solaris 11.1).
I am able to connect to it from an HTC mobile phone and a Windows 7 laptop.
Removed wifi cache file /system/volatile/dladm/network-datalink-management:default.cache.0 and rebooted. No joy.
If I boot from the Solaris 11 DVD, I can still not see the expected wifi router.
At this point I am suspecting the ethernet address of the M10 iwh0 (net1) interface.
'dladm show-phys -m' lists the interface ethernet mac addresses (even if not plumbed).
Connected to the router (from alternative system, over wifi) and looked around. Noted the logs had a messages "possible DNS-rebind attack detected: a-0.19-*8d9zff4tq7njzcj.avts.mcafee.com" that seemed to start about the time I lost sight of the network? Can no longer say for sure as I restarted the router and it seems to have lost those log entries.
Contacted the ISP who provided the ADSL/router for use with their FTTC service offering - they are not aware of any 'protection mechanism' on the router that might mask a misbehaving mac-address.
Tried changing the mac-address on the iwh interface with 'dladm set-linkprop -p mac-address=06:05:04:03:02 net1' and ran 'dladm scan-wifi' without success (then reboot with 'init 5') resets to original but after reconfiguring again -still not available.
If anyone can help .. perhaps having seen something like this and solved it .. or even simply help with better troubleshooting, please advise.

Okay .. I changed the routers 'channel selection' from 13 to 7 and this wifi router network ESSID is again visible to the Solaris 11 instance. I expect the other OS's cater for this a little more elegantly?
~ # dladm show-linkprop net1 | grep -i channel
net1 channel r- 7 -- --
~ #
It seems the channel property wont be visible unless there is a connection (I suppose obviously).
I expect another router has moved into the radius close enough to interfere?

HP 6840 no longer sees the wireless network.

I recently updated the firmware on my Airport Extreme and now my HP 6840 wireless printer nolonger sees the network. I have run and rerun setup, rebooted everything even tried using and older MAC to run the obsolete setup software to no avail. Printer works when plugged in to the ethernet, Airport works but the the printer will nolonger funstion wirelessly.
HP said it was obsolete, Apple said it was an HP firmware issue and I am frustrated.... Any suggestions?
msm

I did have a very long discussion with HP Support but this printer is no longer supported by their phone support. The tech gave me a lot of ideas but none worked. I have determined that one of two things has happened:
1. The recent firmware upgrade to the Airport Extreme has caused the problem, which you think could be resolved with a new driver, but nothing Apple or HP supplies with work, or
2. The radio itself has failed. This I doubt, but every attempt to re-enable it does not work.
I have the printer plugged into the router and it is working but the location is not optimum for our home. No worries, as I mentioned before, I have ordered an inexpensive wireless printer server and should have it back in line by this afternoon and back in my home office where it belongs.
Thanks for the converstaion!

My old PowerPC G4 no longer sees any wireless networks

My old PowerPC G4 no longer sees any wireless networks. The PowerPC and my new iMac was powered off for a week. When I powered them on, the iMac found the usual wireless networks that are seen around here but the PowerPC did not see ANY! Even though they sit next to each other!! The G4 worked fine before and was connected to the internet.
The G4 has an AirPort card in it and IS enabled. Is the problem with the card (how do I verify?) or did something get turned off on the re-boot?
BTW the AirPort card does shows up in the system info and has firmware version 9.52 but states that "wireless network not available" under the Current Wireless Network.
How do I fix this?
Please Help!

As this is an old G4, I presume you have a PCI network card.
I had a similar problem on my son's old G4. After a lot of messing around thinking it was a software problem, I discovered that the antenna was damaged and did not make a good connection to the card. I could get it to work intermittently by pushing it on. The solution was to buy a new card.
So try manipulating the antenna connection at the back of your mac to see if you can get a signal.

My iphone no longer sees my airplay device

i have x-mirage1.06.6 running on my 10.6.8 minimac wired to my lan, and my 10.9.5 macbook pro sees it wirelessly & can display on it just fine.
but my 8.1 iphone 5s no longer sees any airplay devices...it did before i bought x-m (which is why i bought in the 1st place)
there is a fix posting on http://forum.x-mirage.com/t/is-there-still-no-support-for-ios-8-on-the-ipad-air- 2/840/4

MacBook Air No Longer Sees Remote External Drive

I have an iMac with a FW800 connected external hard drive. I use it for Time Machine backups. Also use an Airport Extreme for wireless connection. My MacBook Air at one time was able to "see" that external drive via the Airport and I used it to backup the laptop with Time Machine. Now, all of a sudden, the MBA no longer sees the external drive. What has happened? I use the MBA only occasionally, and told Time Machine to backup only when I tell it to. So, LOTS probably has changed since the last backup. But, what change has broken this connection? My iMac sees it just fine and does Time Machine backups just fine. When I want to share the DVD drive of the iMac, that works as it should. I just can't see that dang external drive any longer. Both machines are at 10.5.6
Can you folks give me some places to start looking to get things working again?

Does the time machine volume meet the requirements?
-internal drive, not start up disk
-XSAN volume
-USB drive
-fire wire drive
-eSATA drive
-network server via AFP (from machines running Leopard), including machines running file sharing
the volume must be formated as Mac OS Extended or Mac OS Extended (case-sensitive)
You can't use:
-Boot Camp partition
-iPod
-disk image
-AirPort Disk
-iDisk

My iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth

my iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth. All it does in Settings is continually search for devices. I've rebooted the phone, as well as the printer. I even sat next to the printer with no luck. It did find the printer when I initially set it up.

Did this work for you in the past?

You need to buy the right printer.
The iPad uses a print technology called AirPrint. Airprint is a particular communication protocol that flows over WiFi. So, having a WiiFi printer isn't sufficient. The printer needs to be of an Airprint variety of WiFi.

After receiving "identical" Time Capsule 3rd gen replacement, my iMac no longer sees my HP LaserJet2420 that my previous Time Capsule enabled seeing

I no longer remember how my USB-connected HP laser printer was seen with my iMac connected through Time Capsule. Oddly enough, my iMac also no longer sees the printer when connected directly to iMac. What the heck happened? They used to work fine together!

A printer that is directly connected has to be recognised to be installed..
I guess the first thing to do is open system profiler and check that the USB is recognising the printer.. If so then the issue is purely drivers.. if not it is bad usb cable.. bad usb port.. bad printer. Plug it into the computer via a powered usb hub.
If the USB does see the printer but the drivers don't work.. I stand by the comment.. delete all printers and start again.. multiple printers can mess things up equally as well as old drivers.. especially if you did an upgrade install.
What a shame you didn't buy the network version.. in the future.. never buy usb.. always buy network printers. Any printer called a workgroup printer without network is a contradiction in terms.
Once you get it working on the computer then you need to start all over again to get it running on the TC again.. man ethernet or wireless printer looks better and better all the time. usb .. shudder.
