Survey fail even with SSID broadcast

I fail the initial survey every time I try with the WRE54G. No wireless networks show up - and I get over 20 when I try with other devices. I usually have SSID broadcast disabled, but have enabled it on the WRT54G router when setting up the RE. Any advice?Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Just make sure that the range expander is properly configured and well synchronized with the router , and make sure that the ssid broadcast on the range expander is also enabled.

  • No SSID Broadcast (or connect) even when SSID broadcast is enabled on my WRT54GL?

    I own a WRT54GL, Firmware is 4.30.12 (the latest).
    I used to be able to connect with the router just fine, 801.11g, WEP security.  Recently wireless connectivity stopped working (wired ports are working just fine, with both internal network and Internet access [external]).  I just got around to trying again tonight...
    It seems that my notebook computer does not *see* the wireless router.  I tried connecting with SSID broadcast off (like I used to)... didn't connect.
    I turn on SSID broadcast and even changed my SSID name on the router, and saved the config... but my notebook's "wireless networks" dialog still does not show my router (but it does show 5 of my neighbor's routers).
    What would make an SSID not show up on my client "wireless network" dialogs, even though I tell the router to broadcast it?
    Has the wireless portion of my WRT54GL simply died?

    Please don't take this as an arguement, but I don't understand the logic of your troubleshooting steps.
    I have no problems with Internet access, and my wired network works perfectly.  So there seems no point in expanding the problem to include my broadband modem, right?  My problem seems pretty well isolated (for now) to my WRT54GL only, since it is the immediate device that my notebook is unable to connect with (or see).
    My firmware is the latest and was updated before I posted (see version # in my original post).  I has already recycled the power.  I didn't try the reset button... will try that next, but am not very hopeful :-(

  • How to confirm access secure with SSID broadcast disabled?

    I have set up my wireless router with a unique SSID, SSID broadcast disabled, and with WPA enabled. With my PC turned off, the 'WLAN' light remains lit. Is this a 'feature' of the WRT54G wireless router, or is someone else actually using my wireless router?

    the WLAN light will be lit as long as you have the wireless function on the router "enabled" . You may have disable the SSID broadcast....however that does not stop the wireless function on the router.

  • Trackpad Failing even with Multiple "Repairs"

    Hello! I just spend about 25 minutes typing out a detailed email to the apple contact who gave me his contact info personally to follow up with him, but the email failed and said the user did not exist, so I suppose he was either terminated or left the business. Instead of re-hashing everything I am going to literally paste the email I sent him as I don't have much time and i need to finish some class work. Here's the email. (PS. I have tried pretty much everything. and this post is completely sincere and it should fall within apple support guidelines.) This is more of my "story" than anything else.
    Hello Mr. Hartly. I know it has been some time since we last spoke, (5 months to be exact), but I wanted to give you an update on my situation. My Macbook Pro SN: C2*****RJ7 was purchased from you several years ago as a refurbished machine and a Christmas present to me from my parents. I cried. It was the best gift I had ever received. Since that day, the laptop has been the car industry's equivalent of a "lemon". Within the first 2 months of having it, the logic board died. This is before I knew anything of computers (I now am very educated in the subject) and I was glad that I could just get it fixed by replacing it. Once this was done, I almost immediately started having issues with my trackpad on the device. When I would use it for any prolonged period of time it seemed the mouse would freeze somewhere on screen and I couldnt move it. Fastforward a year or so after using a magic mouse, and I am starting college. I would like to have a laptop I can actually use in class without toting a separate mouse that defeats the purpose and convenience of having a laptop, so I take it in again to be worked on. They tell me at Computers Plus in Corridor G in West Virginia ********, the nearest "certified apple repair store" that it is almost definitely a bad trackpad. I fork over more cash to get it replaced. The issue happens within 20 minutes of getting home. I call them back and they say to bring it back in and they would fix it for free, after a week of having my laptop they replace my hard drive and charge me 50 dollars for it and said they "didnt charge me for the labor." like i should be thankful. Fed up at this point, I contact your support team via phone. They were very helpful and I ended up speaking to you ( you can look up my old repair ID: ********.) after speaking to you, you told me to send it to you and you would fix it free of charge. I was so excited at this point. ECSTATIC even. I'm finally going to have an apple macbook pro! I love editing videos and I couldnt wait to install my software onto the laptop and get to work. The fixing process happened extremely quickly. I had it back in less than 2 days which made me nervous considering the fact that the local shop had it for a week. I read what the note in the box said. "1 Replaced Trackpad". So thats 2 trackpads now. I test it out and it still freezes after a couple hours of use. After emailing you, you suggest that I completely reinstall OS X onto the device. Frustrated and put out by the run around and lack of fixes, I put it aside for a while as classes started. About a month and a half ago, I was bored and wanted to do some tinkering, so I made an OS X usb bootable and reinstalled the OS. So excited to see if it worked, I started going through the initial setup and initial menus. about an hour after installing the os and doing some classwork/watching some media, guess what. Freeze. Unresponsive. Frustration. Defeat. I sit the machine aside and tried to forget about everything. No one was going to help me, and I have already spent so much money, that I could have just gotten a NEW MAC TO BEGIN WITH. I could honestly cry when I think about it. Fast-forward a month or so to last week.
    Just the other day, I pull out the machine to let my girlfriend do some classwork on, and she complains that the trackpad is unresponsive and asks for a mouse. Frustrated, I give it to her the magic mouse. With the frustrations and disappointment fresh in my mind, I make a note to find your email address and tell you my whole story from beginning to end. I don't want other people to have the same experience as me. I truly do not want this to be taken as a disgruntled and frustrated boy; I haven't spoken negatively to anyone about the incident and I haven't raged about or talked about it on social media. I WANT apple to succeed. I think you're one of the greatest, if not THE greatest producer of technology on the planet. But right now I'm just a young man taking college classes from his bedroom in need of a working laptop. Thanks for your time and for reading this,
    With all my respect,
    Lukas

    An Iterator.delete() has the spec:
    public void remove()
    Removes from the underlying collection the last element returned by the iterator (optional operation). This method can be called only once per call to next. The behavior of an iterator is unspecified if the underlying collection is modified while the iteration is in progress in any way other than by calling this method.
    So when in your example the second iterator modifies the underlying collection it breaks the first instance iterator behavior which has then an unpredictable result.
    Using a List.iterator() seems to change nothing :
    public Iterator iterator()
    Returns an iterator over the elements in this list in proper sequence.
    Specified by:
    iterator in interface Collection
    Returns:
    an iterator over the elements in this list in proper sequence.
    So you code isn't garanty to run as you quote it running. The i2 is safe not i1 if you use i2.remove().
    I did this test:
         List v1 = new Vector();
         v1.add("1");
         v1.add("2");
         v1.add("3");
         Iterator i1 = v1.iterator();
         while (i1.hasNext()) {
              Object o1 = i1.next(); // At second iteration I got a ConcurrentModificationException here.
              Iterator i2 = v1.iterator();
              while (i2.hasNext()) {
                   i2.next();
                   i2.remove();
              System.out.println(o1);
    That's a typical unexpected results because hasNext() answered true but next() failed.
    Now if your question is why this spec, I dunno, I could only guess that the purpose of Iterator generic interface is to allow to have efficient implementation at price of non concurent modification access.

  • Problems with SSID broadcast

    Hi,
    I have an Cisco Aironet AP1141N en have some problems with the SSID broacasting.
    When turn my laptop on i see the SSID en everything works great. (working 6 meters of the AP)
    When i turn on the desktop PC with integrated PCI wifi card sometime it finds the SSID sometimes it don't show the SSID.
    I have four computers with will working excellent with the Arionet AP en two computers have the problem that the SSID is missing in the connection list of Wireless Windows.
    Kan somebody helping to fix this problem?
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    Are the two non-working PCs having the same wireless NIC/supplicant/drivers for example?
    Did you already test a driver update, or a different supplicant (meaning the SW to manage the wireless NIC)?
    Are these two non-working PCs located in the same area where other PCs can successfully connect?
    Regards,
    Fede

  • Time Machine keeps failing even with new HD

    I recently bought an external HD (Western Digital 1T) that I have been using to keep some files on and back up my Macbook Pro 15" (2010 model). Suddenly it recieved an error message stating that the back up failed. So I restarted my computer and tried it again and this time I the back up would fail because the computer would suddenly eject the HD. Whatever the problem was it rendered my external HD useless and completely unreadable. So I chalked it up to faulty software on the external. I just bough a new one (same as the previous) and on my first backup it go the same message. Now I know that I have a corrupted file if not many of them that are causing this to happen. I have no idea how to fix this problem and have already spent more then enough money on new HD's.
    I copied my log below if this helps anyone. Please help me figure out what I need to fix.

    Time Machine is having trouble with some files on your internal HD, but also writing to the (hidden) log file it keeps on the external HD.
    That looks like a problem with the external HD, or the connection to it.
    First, be sure it's formatted properly; see #C1 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If that doesn't help, see #C3 there.  Start by excluding the files(s) in the messages; if that doesn't help, see the pink box there.

  • App.open(file) fails even with absolute path.

    Hi There,
    I am new to scripting for AE so please go easy on me.  I have these two lines in a script which is a plain text file with .jsx as the extension.
    var project = new File("C:\path\to\my\project.aep");
    app.open(project);
    So then, I go to my command line and enter this.  I should note that I added the directory containing afterfx.exe to my environment path (I am running Windows 7).
    afterfx -s myscript.jsx
    When i hit enter, AE launches, but I get an error that says:
    Unable to execute script at line 1.  After Effects error: Unable to call "open" because of parameter 1.  Path is not valid.  Path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS5\Suppor Files\pathtomyproject.aep
    What?!  Why does it think my aep file is within the Support Files directory?!  Is it because of the path environment variable I setup?  Any tips to force AE to find the file I specified in the new File() method?
    Thank you for any advice and your time!

    Hi,
    You need to use double backslashes in the path, like so:
    var project = new File("C:\\path\\to\\my\\project.aep");
    /Ludde

  • Sudo fails even with seeming correct permissions?

    When I try to sudo from Terminal, I get:
    media:~ frank$ sudo su -
    sudo: unable to stat /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
    sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
    However, I can cat /etc/sudoers and see the content of the file. I'm a member of the admin group.
    Thanks in advance, additional info available if it will help!

    Valid is not the same as a file exists.  The /etc/sudoers file needs to be correct format and permissions.
    /bin/ls -leO@ /etc/sudoers

    Have you edited /etc/sudoers ?
    What tool did you use to modify /etc/sudoers ?
    You are suppose to use /usr/sbin/visudo to edit the /etc/sudoers file which will validate the results before saving the updated version.  See "man visudo".
    While I am still using Mavericks, chances are the /etc/sudoers file still looks the same, so here is what my unmodified /etc/sudoers file looks like:

    I was told to record my chat ID# and contact support today but no one can get me to anyone who can help. Does anyone know how to get to the right people?
    Solved!

    Never heard back so I called the business office today and explained my difficulties in attempting to place my order before the bundle deadline expired. The business office didn't have the same package as the on line offer but they customized and met the offer by providing a monthly credit against their package to meet the on line bundle price. The only issue is that I have to pay the taxes on the package at the full rate before the additional monthly credit.
    Its not right as we pay too much in taxes as it is in general (Not the fault of Verizon) but I can live with the resolution.

  • SSID Broadcasting problem

    Hi,
    until yesterday I used a Linksys WAP4400N access point to connect my MacBook via WLAN to my LAN. When SSID broadcasting was enabled, everything worked fine. However, as soon as I disable SSID broadcasting, my MacBook does not find my WLAN anymore. My WLAN is entered in the list of 'known' WLANs.
    Yesterday, I bought an Apple Time Capsule and with SSID broadcasting everything works fine, but without SSID broadcasting, my MacBook is not able to connect anymore. It thus seems to be a problem of my MacBook instead of a problem with the access points.
    I tested another notebook running Windows XP, and that notebook connects fine (both with and without SSID broadcasting).
    Is this problem known to any of you? If so, does anyone of you know how to fix this problem?

    OK, so it finally happened again. Here are some screenshots:
    Hovering over the network icon, I see the factory SSID:

    Click to open it, it shows two different SSIDs:
    http://www.delorenzo.ca/temp/b.png
    My network scanner only shows one network, no factory SSID:
    http://www.delorenzo.ca/temp/c.png
    This condition persists until I disconnect and reconnect the network.
    Windows 7 only knows one network (Starbuck). Apple Network is not in my network list. When this is happening, Windows 7 thinks I am connected to a public network and so firewall blocks some of my applications.

  • Disabling SSID Broadcast

    I have an Aironet CB21AG 802.11b client adapter installed in an IBM ThinkPad T22 connecting to a Linksys BEFW11S4 802.11b wireless router. One of the security essentials indicated by Linksys is to disable SSID broadcast after all wireless devices have been configured.
    When I do so the link between my laptop and the router is lost. The adapter's user manual indicates that if the SSID is blank on the Available Infrastructure and Ad Hoc Networks page - which it is when SSID broadcast is disabled - you cannot activate the network.
    Is there anyway to ensure the Aironet client adapter is able to communicate w/my wireless router with SSID broadcast disabled?

    Yes, just enter the SSID that your are using on the AP into the wlan config utility you are using on the laptop...
    This way your AP will not accept association requests from any wireless client except those who are configured with the correct SSID.

  • Disabling SSID broadcast sets NAT to strict for XBOX 360, even if wired to WRT160N

    I don't know if this is true with all routers, but with my WRT160N, I found that disabling SSID broadcast causes NAT to go into STRICT mode, and there's no way to get back to OPEN (port forwarding, DMZ, etc, unless you enable it.) Unfortunately I had just upgraded my firmware, which sent me and the Linksys tech down the wrong path. The bummer is that XBOX is wired to my router, so not sure why this would've been affected.  Hopefully this helps, since I've seen several **bleep**!?! threads around this.  I just happened to stumble across this after my NAT opened up when I reset my router to factory settings.  Stepped through the changes I had made from default, and wallah, it was the the stupid disabled SSID broadcasting.

    You are wasting more "cycles" if you disable the broadcast because your wireless devices have to actively search your network instead of simply listening to the list of broadcast SSIDs and connect to the correct one.
    If "normal folk" want to crack your network they will quickly give up if they do it manually (assuming you have a strong WPA2 passphrase set on your router). Those few attempts won't cause you problems. Your router and wireless network will far more affected by other wireless networks and interference then some failing connection attempts.
    Of course, I assume here that you have changed the SSID from "linksys" to something unique. If you still use "linksys" you will probably see quite a few failing connection attempts, not intentionally but because some people had their computer configured to connect to "linksys" before and still use it or did not remove it from their list of preferred networks. And if it is still "linksys" hiding the SSID won't make a change here, too...
    They provide the option because that's what people want to see and buy. It does not matter whether it is really useful or not. Marketing says you can "hide" your router and people believe it. If you take the first computer at hand and look for networks the normal way it won't list it. Great, people believe it's "invisible". Sells good. Just like people need firewalls to "stealth" their computers in the internet which neither hides their computer not makes it any more secure...
    As long as marketing does not mention that a simple network sniffer will immediately show the existence of the router and very soon will also reveal the SSID... It wouldn't sell so good anymore...
    Of course, the setting should not affect port forwarding and your "NAT" level. Could be a firmware bug in the WRT160N.

  • SSID Broadcasting even when disabled

                       I have two 5508 wireless controllers with two WLANS.  One is public and SSID broadcasting is enabled.  The other is our secured network and was configured with broadcasting disable.  When looking at the controlling both through prime and on the controller itself, broadcasting is still not enabled, however the SSID is showing up in the available networks list on our computers.  We haven't changed anything on the wireless network for quite a long time and this is a recent discovery.  Anyone know how to remedy this situation? 

    Id like to add.
    Your PCs that show the SSID mean they are configured for that WLAN. This is why you see it someone configure these clients for this WLAN.
    If you have devices not seeing this its becuase they havent been configure for it.
    As for the 'hidden' you need to mark this if your wlan is not broadcasting the SSID. No checky checky no worky worky ..

  • WRT54G with USB11 v 2.6: Can't automaticaly reconnect after SSID broadcast disabled

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to make my network more secure. I've done all the basics, including disabling the SSID broadcast. The only problem is that after a few hours, I lose connectivity on the USB 11 wireless adapter and have to directly connect to the router via a cat 5 cable and reset the SSID to broadcast, which causes my network to find it and logs in. I reset the SSID broadcast to disable and get a few more hours of conenctivity until it drops again.
    My router is ver 2.0 and my adapter is 2.6. This is the first time in 4 years I've had any probs with my wireless network.
    My PC is brand new and pretty mid-high-end. Intel duo-core, 2 GB ram, etc...
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Best thing is to just enable SSID.  It's a myth that disablling helps with security, it does for the average joe... a bit.  but not really.
    I found a great article about how disabling SSID doesn'treally do much for security at all, but i can't seem to laocte ti right now.  I was googling wireless security stuff about a month or so ago,  guess i should have bookmarked that one.

  • How can I disable SSID broadcast with Time Capsule?

    I have always disabled the SSID broadcast with other devices. It is a big help with securing the networks. Can this be done with Time Capsule? If yes, please tell me how.
    Thanks.

    I have always disabled the SSID broadcast with other devices. It is a big help with securing the networks. Can this be done with Time Capsule? If yes, please tell me how.
    You can by turning on hidden network.
    Open the airport utility .. click on your TC, and then edit.. go to the wireless TAB. Click on wireless options. Click Create hidden network.
    Let me add in modern world.. it is totally useless. A person can see your hidden network using any standard wireless analysis software. It adds no security at all.. and WPA2 Personal with a decent password 10-20 characters mix of upper and lower case plus numbers is still solid.. add more characters if you are paranoid.. but honestly hiding SSID does nothing.

    If you did not know it is not part of the IEEE wireless standard.. it therefore often leads to problems with clients.
    There are many other reasons given in the article above..
