Since Infinity installed wireless adaptor settings...

Had Infinity installed 2 days ago (hub 3) and everything worked fine until I tried to logon the next day. It seems my setting are not being saved, i was guided through the complicated process of finding and reconnecting with the hub by BT helpdesk people but as soon as the computer is closed down the problem reappears. Can anyone help, in simple language please as I'm not very computer literate.
Solved!

I'm using Windows XP service pack 2 with a NLink IEEE802. 11G Wireless LAN USB adapter.

Poor Broadband since Infinity installed in my area

I am a very frustrated BT customer!
After years of loyal and relatively trouble free broad usage provision, I am now faced with a dilemma.
Since the announcement that BT has installed Infinity in my area the quality of my broadband connection has dropped considerably. I now experience 2-3 connection drop-outs per day and havd noticed significantly slow download speeds. As I work from home, this is extremely inconvenient and bad for business. The quality of my Skype calls has dropped considerably to the point that I've been forced to end calls and redail in an attempt to get a bit connection. To add insult to injury, BT sales team have called me once, sometimes twice a week asking if I'd like to upgrade to Infinity. What I would like I'd the service I have enjoyed without any issues for many years, reinstating! I would like value for money and not arm twisting tactics to get mr to upgrade to something I don't need. Is there a case for compensation if BT has degraded to service I was receiving? I'd be interested to know if others have experienced similar since Infinity was installed their area. Thank you....

I had the exact same problem as you, I had problems on ADSL broadband for months had it finally sorted 3 weeks connection with no disconnect BT Infinity was installed and I started getting 4/5 disconnects a day. People saying it's entirely seperate when some use the same cabinets, for example my area i believe this is the reason but i don't pin on it.
Good luck to get this resolved

Trouble installing USB wireless adaptor & Network settings.

We have a 17" iMac flat panel, 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. We just upgraded the memory to 1 GB. We're running 10.4.11
Dh wants to use his iPod Touch and share the internet connection with our G4. We purchased the following USB wireless adaptor by MAXPower:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP802NU2C/
We installed the software, but cannot figure out how to set it up from there.
Never mind that for now. Dh says he sees a second computer in the near future and thinks we need a proper wireless network.
I was going to uninstall the MAXPower software and I can't figure that out either. I found the Uninstall icon, but it is asking me for a password. @@
The thing that concerns me is when I go to System Preferences---> Network, a window pops down saying "Your Network Settings Have Been Changed By Another Application". When I click OK, the window goes up, then immediately comes back down. I can't close the window, or close System Preferences without Force Quitting.
Dh is voting for bagging the MAXPower, getting an Airport Extreme Card and an Airport Extreme Base Station.
I want to fix the glitch in Network.
Ideas?

hey there chelap,
had a similar problem w/ an iMac 800 MHz G4. it was caused by me switching a USB printer to an Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11g, from its port on the iMac-- iMac too old, it used 802.11 b. it changed "network settings". try d/c'ing the device & delete the software to see if this eliminates the annoying screen popping off/on.
i'm not familiar w/ this product you're trying to use but, in reading the product page it doesn't create a Wi-Fi network, it lets you use a Mac w/ out a Wi-Fi card to connect to a Wi-Fi network--this product isn't a Wi-Fi router which you need for what it sounds like you're trying to do. i agree w/ Dh about the AE card(can be found fairly lo-$$ on eBay & pretty simple to install), though this device may work once you have established a Wi-Fi network & the AEBS, even an Airport Express will work as a base station to create a Wi-Fi network. also sharing an internet connection isn't quite the same as having a local Wi-Fi network. having a local network provides more options like using the iPod Touch + the Remote app to control iTunes or Front Row(an app) should you run Mac OS X Leopard/Snow Leopard on this &/or a later model Mac(G5 or Intel) as well as stream audio/video, share other kinds of files to the 2nd Mac.
good luck.

Poor wireless signal since Infinity

I have always had a good wireless signal from my HH2 on ADSL.
Since having Infinity installed the signal has decreased considerably, even though the new HH is in exactly the same place. To connect to wireless devices I have to within a few metres of the hub then I can move away but it still drops its connecting regularly. I am using the same devices.
Any ideas?

try change the wireless channel.
Possibility there could be another person on the same channel as you.
Netgear Setup

I use Symbaloo but since I installed FF4 I get no connection when I choose a radiostation. Something with my settings?

I use Symbaloo but since I installed FF4 I get no connection when I choose a radiostation ( i.e. no sound ). Wrong settings?

Each has a p/w but it is input only once at when I set it up. I get no prompts for p/w since they are in prefs. Is this safe?
Yes, as long as the wireless network required you to enter a password the first time that you connected.

Can you do a speedtest here: BT Speedtester
Please do the test wired (not wireless) and do not use the beta test, then post the full results with the IP profile.

Since I installed Nero 2104 I get an error message when I try to start iTunes: registry settings changed probably due to other cd/dvd burning program please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using repair option but the problem persists...?

Since I installed Nero 2014 I get an error message when I start iTunes that registry settings for importing and burning cds/dvds have changed probably due to other burning software installed please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using 'repair' option, but the problem persists. I have been able to import cds to iTunes since I installed Nero, but it won't anymore. Does anyone recognize this problem and have a solution? Thanks for any help. Using Windows 7.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes
If you're still getting the error message (especially when you plug in the Touch), I'd check for a device filter confusion on the PC. (They can affect the connection of USB devices to a PC, as well as burning and importing CDs.) For that one, see:

Can't boot with wireless adaptor installed

Hi all,
I've had a problem for several years with this; I'm finally getting around to dealing with it now.
I have a Pismo G3, OS X 10.4.8, and I've never been able to get the machine to recognize a wireless adaptor (both a RaLink USB one I just bought, and a D-Link DWL-650X before) if the adaptor was plugged into the laptop when it powered up. The only way to make it work is to boot the machine without the adaptor installed, then plug in the device (either the PC card or the USB device) after I'm in the finder. In fact, with the former PC card, if I didn't remove the card at startup, the OS would NEVER see the card; at least with the USB adaptor, I could pull it out and put it back in after startup and it would still work.
There's got to be a way to make this work; because I had the problem with two different cards, and two different drivers, using two different interfaces, I'm thinking it has something to do with the hardware/firmware of the Powerbook itself.
I would even be happy if someone could just give me a script that I could set to run at startup that would just cause the USB port to THINK that it got a device plugged into it (some kind of "re-scan the ports). The device itself is getting power - I can see the light on it, and the other USB devices that are plugged in at startup (like the printer) work fine.
Any suggestions?

BigBoote66,
Welcome to the Discussions.
This is not an uncommon problem with the black G3 powerbooks although I cannot say it is universal; there is just not a large enough base of complaints on these boards to say none of the WiFi cards avoids this problem. My Wallstreet refuses to boot to either 9.x or 10.x with the Buffalo 54Mbps card. Some Pismo owners have to insert the WiFi PC card during a certain phase of the boot to get the card to work. This all appears to be related to the firmware contained on the PC card.
I might suggest this: Call OWC and speak to a technician about the Sonnet Aria Extreme...ask if this particular card avoids your issues. This is a well-regarded, natively-compatible WiFi card which uses the Broadcom chipset. OWC also used to sell the Buffalo AirStation, the card I use, but recent, subtle changes in its firmware introduced the startup problem.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/G54CB/
Possibly someone will also post here with the name of a fully compatible card.

Ever since I installed Lion, I have not been able to print wirelessly

Ever since I installed Lion, I have not been able to print to my Brother MFC-7840W. It shows in System Preferences, and says "Ready", but when I try to print I get a "cannot connect to device" message. Also in the printer utility it says bonjour malfunction. I have installed the most current drivers as well. Also, all other computers (PC's) on the wireless network are not having any problems printing! Help! I hate it when the household PC lovers mock me!

The Bonjour Multifunction entry under Kind simply indicates that both the printer and scanner queues will be created for the single queue, the same that happens when the device is connected to the Mac via USB. I see the same thing with some Canon AIO's and it doesn't stop the Mac from printing.
With you mentioning that a direct connection also fails, then it suggests that there is an issue with the driver or the printing system. A reset of the printing system is a good starting point. This will require you to create the queue again, but not install the printer drivers. And try it first with the USB connected printer before trying it on the network.
If the direct connection still fails after the reset then the drivers could be a cause. Other Brother owners mentioned having problems with printing after a recent Brother update. From memory they found they had to get a CUPS driver from the Brother web site to resolve the symptom.

Ever since I installed Norton 2008, I loose my wireless connection every night. I have to take my internet cable out the router and plug it into my desktop. Once the desktop reads the internet address, I then plug it back into the router and go through easy link advisor to set it up. Can anybody tell me why this is happening and what I can do to prevent this from happening.
Thanks

Might be possible that Antivirus is blocking the wizard to scan the network ......

BT Infinity and Wireless VPN

Since installing BT Infinity 2 days ago my Company VPN connection is lost every 10 minutes or so ("Secure VPN connection terminated locally by the client. Reason 412. The remote peer is no longer responding). No problems have been reported by other Company users and when using an Infinity LAN connection or even my mobile BB dongle I have a continuous, stable connection.
After repeated calls to BT who told me they didn't support VPN queries my VPN suddenly became stable for a while but I then lost the BT Vision On Demand. That has now come back after further calls to BT but so too has my VPN disconnect problem. This is definitely caused by BT's hardware/software settings but I get the feeling that nobody in BT IT Support has the knowledge to deal with the situation.
BT's Home IT Call Service help line was singularly unhelpfull (see also list of complaints on other threads) but most importantly does anybody understand how VPN connections are maintained between the client computer and remote peer in order to help me resolve this issue. Has anybody had a similar problem and more importantly found a soloution?
It is very worrying to see the number of queries regarding BT Infinity and I wish I had found this site before installing Infinity which will certainly be going back if it is not sorted in the 10 day cooling off period.
regards to all and hoping for help
Colin

Thanks for both of those. I tried replacing my HH3 with an HH1 but I think that because my service has now changed to Infinity the HH1 is no longer supported (or vice versa). Either that or the new main box that was fitted is not compatible with HH1
I have just had a 6 hour stable LAN connection to my Company VPN using a Cisco VPN Client v5 and so the router itself is working fine. It is simply the wireless connection to VPN that keeps stalling ever since Infinity and HH3 were installed. Wireless directly to the Internet works fine and so too does my BT Vision.
I am about to try the wireless VPN again now that I have finished work. What I find pretty frustrating is BT's lack of activity in sorting out the problem. I am simply told that after installation there will be a 'Transition Period' during which Line Speeds are being changed but what is the purpose of changing Line Speeds, Settings and Channels with no feedback from the user?
Thanks again for your response.

Voyager 1055 USB Wireless adaptor problems

I have just had a new broadband installation, with a HH3. I am changing over from an old 8Mb broadband on a different line which has a Netgear router on it. I have 3 similar Compaq PCs, 3 Iphone/iPods, and a Mac, and connected my work laptop OK to the HH3.
The 3 PCs, 1 has a Netgear WG111v2 USP wireless adaptor which has connected OK to the HH3. The other 2 have BT Voyager 1055 USB adaptors, neither of which can see the HH3 but connect OK to the Netgear. The PC with the Netgear and one of the Voyagers are in the same room, about 4 feet apart, yet using inSSIDer2, I can see about a dozen wireless networks from all of mine and my neighbours connections, the PC 4 feet away can see only the Netgear and the Openzone from the HH3. I've switched off the Netgear, changed channels on both, reloaded drivers for the Voyager, and it makes no difference.
Is there an issue with the Voyager 1055 that stops it seeing some networks? I've tried everything I can think of, but my last ditch effort will be to switch the routers and put the Netgear on the new broadband. The old broadband will be ceased eventually.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The Voyager 1055 is a bit dated now and was originally intended for use with the BT Voyager wireless routers.
There have not been any driver updates since it was first issued.
I have one, and it does not like WPA2 encryption or mixed b/g/n wireless speeds.
If you set the hub3 to use b/g only and WPA only, it should work.
I have TP-link wireless access point and I had to use those settings to allow the 1055 to connect.
In the end I stopped using the 1055 and used a TP-link TL-WN722N USB adapter, which also does wireless N and has an external detachable aerial.

Satellite A660 - Broadcom internal wireless adaptor is not working

Hi all,
My first post to this board - I have a new Toshiba Satellite A660 notebook - have only had it for about 4 weeks and it has turned out to be a disaster for me...
FIRST - I spend weeks getting everything on and configured the way I want it - then the hard disk starts to die...
I just got it back from the Toshiba service centre and NOW the wifi has stopped working...
The internal broadcom wireless adaptor is not working - but according to windows and the built in diagnostics it IS working...
HOWEVER - when I try to use wireless with the built in adaptor it can't detect any wireless networks...
I then plug in my backup usb netgear wireless adaptor and I can pick up and connect to both of my home wireless networks...
I am going overseas in a few weeks and need to know that my notebook is going to work/be reliable and not have any more problems - if anyone can help me with this it would be much appreciated.
John.

A further update for you all...
Okay - went back to the Toshiba service centre - the first dead hard disk was replaced by them - but the REAL problem not spotted - it looks like my laptop came out of the Toshiba factory with a faulty motherboard - this in turn has now fried the second hard drive - and now - with a new motherboard and THIRD hard drive it looks like the hardware side of things MIGHT just be solved - but NOW I still have the problem that because the motherboard has been screwed since day one (I only bought this laptop in November 2010) it has basically stuffed/corrupted all of my backups - so now the service centre is charging me 60 dollars to get a set of disks so I can re-image the system myself when I have the chance - and then spend a month putting back all the applications and configuration and data the way I had it after the first few weeks of buying it (at that stage I thought I was good to go and had the perfect new laptop and setup for work...)
So - I'm heading off overseas in a couple of weeks - my 3 year extended warranty from Australia will not be of any use to me where I am going - not covered - but am STILL hopeful that I'll get the rest of the problems sorted - still can't run the toshiba hdd protection software for more than a few days without it dying and having to be reinstalled and the toshiba pc health monitor does not work at all - when I go to install it it doesn't recognize the bios or whatever - and on top of that I'm using third party hard disk monitoring software (because the toshiba stuff doesn't work on this toshiba laptop - but the third party stuff does) - well, anyway - the third party software is telling me the hard disk has reallocated sectors count error - and there is a CAUTION showing all the time - which I guess indicates that there is now a hard drive problem with the third hard disk (?)
Anyway - if ANYONE has had a similar run of bad luck to mine with the A660/O7U - I'd really like to know...
John.
