T-42 wireless will not reconnect

MY ( new to me [used])T-42 wireless will not reconnect unless the computer is restarted. I had this issue with the OEM XP pro. I installed XP home complete with new drivers & updates from IBM- same problem. The wireless card is called just IBM in the drivers section at Lenovo, but installs as an Atheros 11 A/B/G card. When attempting to reconnect, the computer will sometimes just keep trying to acquire the address for hours. If I provide the address it will show connected, but IE will not function. This issue occurs: *if you go out of range, *manually disconnect, or *disable the connection. When you enable- or attempt to reconnect- the computer will act as described above. The ONLY way I can reconnect, is to restart the computer. This issue has stayed the same with two different OS's & two different routers. My garage is in a fringe area & I don't want to have to restart every time I loose the signal. Please advise

I've also had this problem and can thicken the plot. I have a 13" Macbook pro with 10.6.5. It has always had this problem. My wife has the IDENTICAL MACHINE and it has never done it. My iPhone never does it, not the mini or iMac we have in the house. We have a Linksys WRT54GL router. My SSID is hidden.

Nokia Lumia 620 will not reconnect to network auto...

If i am in a location without o2 connection for more than 4 or 5 hours, when i move to an area with good o2 coverage the phone will not reconnect automatically, continues to say "no service".I have to turn phone off and on again and re-enter pin for it to reconnect. The sim is old BT cellnet card, but works ok in my old nokia C3 phone.

Hi icepete,
Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
How's your phone now? Are you still having the same network connection issue after changing the SIM card? @hpholm is correct. For network-related issues, one of the first thing to check is the SIM card's functionality. Are you using a standard micro-SIM card, or a cut-up regular one? The Lumia 620 is designed to use a standard micro-SIM card. If your operator provided you a cut up regular SIM, you can request them to give you a standard micro-SIM.
If you're already using a micro-SIM card and are still getting the same issue, try doing the following troubleshooting steps.
1. Reboot the phone by simultaneously pressing and holding the volume down and power keys until it vibrates and restarts. This won't delete anything in your phone but will restore some settings like date and time.
2. Make sure that the phone's software is updated. Check it by going to Settings > Phone update.
3. Verify if all system apps are also updated by scanning the QR codes shown at this link: Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates.
We'll wait for your feedback.

MacBook Pro Will Not Reconnect to 7.3.1

Hello all,
I upgraded to 7.3.1 and now my MacBook Pro (10.4.11) will not reconnect to the network when awakened. If I do a restart it does connect but if I just close the lid and then reopen sometime later I do not connect to the network. The AirPort Utility reports no base stations found. Funny that my Vista and XP boxes reconnect just fine.
I have restarted the AirPort Extreme a couple of times since the upgrade and I have no disks on it (gave up on that months ago). Any suggestions before I downgrade the firmware?

Hello Mr. Smart,
I turned off the AirPort on my MacBook Pro and direct connected via cable to my AirPort Extreme. I ran the Software Update utility under the Apple pull down menu and it reported no updates for me at this time. I then ran the AirPort utility and it prompted me to install 7.3.1. I did.
After everything came back up I re-enabled my AirPort card and tested suspending my MacBook Pro and then reconnecting. Everything seems to be working fine now.
I guess you are Mr. Smart after all... Thanks!

New Galaxy 5s. Trying to connect to a guest wireless that routes browser to a login screen. The wireless will not connect (gives authentication error), so will not pull up browser window. My previous Android did not have this problem (it would connect and immediately reroute to the login screeen).

Would you please try manually set the DNS address on client NIC to the IP of your server, then try run the connector again?

Yoga 10 keyboard will not reconnect

I have a yoga 10 with the lenovo keyboard Bluetooth cover. It worked for a while but now will not reconnect. The yoga does see other Bluetooth devices in the area and will connect, any suggestions?

Sue68, that was only one of my problems, I lost the keyboard charging cable and lenovo could not help me get another cable. I needed the keyboard so I ordered a second keyboard. This one works fine, first one still will not connect. Bad keyboard I think, good luck with yours although it sounds dead too. Love my yoga but not so much the keyboard.

Reinstalled my router and now Airport has gone inactive and will not reconnect

Reinstalled my Linksys router and now Airport has gone inactive and will not reconnect. What am doing wrong?

How did you reinstall the router? Do you mean updated the firmware on the router? Did you change the router settings and if so, what changes did you make? Did you make associated changes in the AirPort card in your iMac?

Update 10.5.8 Wireless will not remember WPA2 Network Name and Password

After updating to 10.5.8 last night my wireless will not remember the WPA2 Personal - Network Name and Password between boots. I have to re-enter it each time I restart my MacBook (Intel Core 2 duo). I am running WiFi 802.11A and never had this problem in the two years I have owned this mac. [Going a different 802.11 frequency is not a fix].
Anyone else having this type of problem?
Comment: These OS X updates are annoying because seems that some standard common feature stops working for awhile (until the next fix).

I was having the exact same problem after the update too, and I tried everything that all of these posts recommended and nothing.
It wasn't until I deselected the option on the network preferences for "Ask to join networks", it mentions that it will connect to known networks, so as long as its saved it should remember it.
And Voila! next time I opened my macbook from sleep it connected to the WPA (which even happened to be a hidden one too).
I hope this helped because sometimes it doesn't have to be so complicated...

I have a macbook air that is not connecting to the internet correctly. I've had it connected for three weeks, it went into sleep mode, and will not reconnect. It will connect to other wireless routers (I've tested it) but not the one at my apartment.

The problem is not happening with any other device that I have. My iPad, iPhone and another laptop all connect fine. In fact, it's not even the connection. The computer will connect to the net. It just will not open any page. It starts to open and then hangs and hangs. It will not move. Weird since it worked great for three weeks and then all of the sudden, nothing. Click on Safari and I have short hope that it will move and NOTHING! Any thoughts why it would hang up like this and only with this specific network?

This is a known Lion issue, hopefully solved in 10.7.3. But may not be solved immediatly after updating, that was my case.
To make it work i followed those steps.
1.- Restart
2.- Lion 10.7.2 Update
3.- Uninstall netwokrs
4.- Shut down
5.- SMC reset
6.- Reinstall networks
I dont know whether all the above steps are necessary, but for me the update didn't work properly before SMC reset. (I am running a MBA mid2011)
Hope it helps,
Cheers

Solution for 'my mac will not reconnect after sleep'

After lots of trial and errors I found the way around the problem of dropped or very poor wireless connection after you put your mac to sleep.
I have no idea what the problem really is but this procedure has stopped me from throwing my brand new MacBook through the window.
1) Go to System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced
2) Remove any network you have there memorized
3) uncheck option 'Remember any network this computer has joined' (leave the other options also unchecked)
4) press ok and switch AirPort off ... then on (make sure you have 'Show AirPort status in menu bar' checked)
Now the only real change we've made is to stop Mac memorizing our network - but here lies the solution.
Put your MacBook to sleep and than wake it up. It will not connect to the network (none are memorized) but all you have to do is choose your network name from the list on the menu bar. It might ask you for the key but in my case it simply asks for permission to use my KeyChain (memorized WPA2 password).
Once I press 'Allow' .... it works as it should! eureka!
Do not check 'Remember this network' when asked for password.
As long as Mac does not store your network details it reconnects without problems, once you allow it to store these details, re-connection after sleep goes pear-shape.... figure it out Apple!
I hope this might help you (as it most certainly works for me)
best regards
ffar

I've run Keychain utility. I also removed (as suggested in various places) any entries referring to my wireless password in KeyChain and allowed them to be memorized again. It doesn't change a thing.
Please understand me correctly. My Airport does re-establish connection automatically (if network details are stored) but connection is extremely flaky, slow and with frequent dropouts. So the Keychain is not to blame here (I think).
If I establish connection 'semi-manually', as described in my previous post, it is perfect, just as it should be. This would indicate to me that the problem lies not with the Keychain, but in the way OS stores network details.
If I do not allow OS to keep network details - re-connection works.

AirPort Express loses network and will not reconnect

Hi all,
I've seen several postings about similar issues but I'm not sure if mine has an answer or not. I have owned and used an Airport Express (A1084) for a number of years and it's always worked flawlessly. I recently acquired a second one and moved my original one up one floor to extend my G network and stream music to a different room. Now the Airport will lose its connection to the network every few days and then just blink amber until the power is cut off to the unit. It seems to always reconnect with no issue after the power has been shut off for a second. It has not moved that far away from it's original location and it is not placed even close to the effective range of the main wireless router, so I don't believe that incoming signal loss is the problem.
All the settings on the Express are the same as they have been for years, so the only variables are the addition of the new Airport Express, which I don't have set up to accept wireless connections, and the new location of the device.
Does anyone have some suggestions on a direction to go to trouble shoot this problem?

You need to remember that most newer routers sold in the last 3-4 years allow their users to "hide" their network. In other words, the network is operating but your computer, or one of the commonly used utilities used to scan and display other networks likely will not be able to "see" these networks.
In general, you should probably assume there are twice as many networks as your utility can "see" and since you can't see them, there's no way to know what channels they are using. So, it becomes a process of experimentation to try to find a a good channel for your wireless network.
It's not just your cordless phone that can cause potential problems for your network. My neighbor....across the street...could drop the speed on my wireless to a crawl if he was in his front yard talking on his cordless phone. Again, there's not much you can do about this, except to know that there are far more forms of interference than most users ever imagine.
Since most cordless phones operate at the 2.4 GHz frequency, same as your wireless network, you may be encountering some of the difficulties that I have with the neighbors cordless phones at least 100 feet away.
I solved my issues by using 5 GHz wireless as there are for the moment, much fewer networks using this frequency band. You may need to look at that possibility as well if your problems continue.

HP Envy 4500 wireless will not print without USB cable

My HP Envy 4500 wireless printer/scan/copier does not seem to be able to work without the USB cable. I followed the instructions provided to change for USB to wireless but it will not work without. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software. I have windows 7 on my laptop and an IPod both of which show that the printer is showing. I made it the default printer. The first time I tried to do it (without the USB cord) I was unable to get passed putting in my wireless password which starts with a capital K and wasn't certain how to make a capital so reread instructions and used the USB but really want to use it wireless. Any suggestions. I turned the firewall off this morning to try but to no avail. If I do need to turn the firewall off would I then put it back on if it gets working? I would so appreciate any suggestions!

@Chaitaishanwelcome to the community,
I understand you're having some difficulties when trying to set your Envy 4500 up on your wireless network. I have looked around and found this guide for you to try out. If you run into any error messages, codes, issues, etc, please let me know the specific details and I will continue to research if need be.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless - will not print green

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless that will not print Green.
I have:
1. Cleaned Printhead using device cleaning command. All steps
2. Alligned Printer - get message 'Alignment failed. Refer to device documentation for details.' I see know documentation
3. Calibrate Linefeed
4. Unplugged device while it was on and then replugged restarted.
5. Unplugged device while it was on and cleaned magenta/cyan printhead (following instructions from your website explictly).
The Alignment failed message persists and it still will not print green. I have done some of the above multiple times.
I hope you can help quickly. I have a home office and this is putting me behind a lot!
If I need a new printhead, get one and it does not fix the problem, can I return it? How can I get a printhead quickly?
THanks! Kathy

How come Verizon Wireless will not give their customers a corporate number, email, or address to send complaints?

I have been with Verizon Wireless for 7 years and I have went through more problems in customer service in the last year then I have in my whole 7 years. Usually if I have a problem they fix it immediately, I tend to call instead of going into a Verizon store because Verizon stores just do not care about their customers. I am beginning to think the same thing about Verizon Wireless customer service.
Problem number 1: Verizon Wireless making changes to my account, aka payment arrangements, without my knowledge or consent. Making my phone shut off because I was 3 days late. Yes THREE DAYS... not months. Then after they turned my phone on because of their error I paid my bill. About a couple weeks later I decide that I want to purchase a new phone and want it billed to my account. They then tell me that no I could not have it billed to my account because my phone was shut off for non-payment. I then explained that it was an error, they then told me that they could not over-ride the system and I would have to wait 6 months to bill to my account. I asked if that meant I could bill to my account even if Iam late a couple days or what. They told me as long as my phone had not shut off because of non-payment I would be able to bill to my account, also that they would write a formal complaint on the person who made a payment arrangement on my account without my consent and they would get back to me. That was in Mar of 2013. I am still waiting for a reply from my complaint.
Problem number 2: In March of 2013 Verizon had an email option on their website where you could email corporate and they will email you back. Since then they have taken it off and will not give their customers email, number, or address where they can reach corporate at.
Problem number 3: Sept of 2013, it has been 6 months. I I then call Verizon to bill to my account a new phone, because I wanted to start a new contract. Well they tell me that because I do not pay on the same day of every month I will not be able to bill to my account and they can not over ride the system. I then tell them that this was not what was told to me in March of this year. The rep tells me that she cant do anything for me except investigate it and get back to me within 4 hours. I say okay and leave my number I wanted to be reached at, I asked if she was sure that she was going to call me back because I have been told in the past by verizon wireless reps that I would receive calls from them and they never bothered to return my call, because basically I was un-important. She stated that she would and she appreciated the business I gave Verizon for the past 7 years. (she was a supervisor by the name of Jeniffer in customer service on the east coast). 5 hours later I still had not received a call so I call back and ask to speak to a supervisor they then tell me that my claim was denied for "unknown" reasons about the call 6 months ago and they were not going to let me bill to my account and they couldnt help me further. I asked for a a corporate number, email, or address and they told me repeatedly that they did not know them and could not give them out if they did know them. That if I had a complaint he could notate it and make sure it was handled. Psssh just like it was handled 6 months ago. I daid thank you but no thanks and ended my call soon thereafter.
It just galls me that Verizon treats their customers who make them money by using their services and phones every year. They do not have any care for the complaints and actions of their workers as well as their customers.
I just want to know it anyone knows they corporate number, email or address??
Or maybe a verizon rep out there (which I pretty much doubt will respond to my question)
If I dont receive an answer soon I believe... no i KNOW I will be taking my $127.33 else where and maybe just maybe I can get better customer service, even if its just a tiny inch better than Verizons.
AT&T here I come.

yesterday i went to verizon with a 8 day old broken phone after 40 mins in line to be helped the sales staff at glenway av in cincinnati turned me around and sent me out the door without solving my problem or returning my less than 14 day old phone. i called corporate at >>removed<< they called the store and made an appointment with the manager to resolve my issue. when i returned to the store i was told i had to wait in line again so i decided to get loud enough for every customer in the store to hear what kind of customer service i was recieving. so then the employee at the door not the manager called the police on me and threw me out of the store so today i am returning my phones and am seeking other service providers but anyhow the corporate number i provided is a good one and the people you reach will solve your problem corporate level is does do a grat job but the customer service level and store level employees i have found to be very unproffessional and extreemly mismanaged.

Disconnecting when computer sleeps- will not reconnect

My grandfathers MacBook disconnects from wireless network whenever the computer goes to sleep/is temporarily shut. When it is opened back up, says it is not connected to the internet even though the Network is reading as working. Mail will not send either. The only way I can get it back in gear is running the Network diagnostics or simply restarting the computer.
Please Help.
OH- "Disconnect from wireless network when logged out" is NOT checked in system preferences

Hello candace171. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
If he's using Preferred Networks, try the following ...
1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
o Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
o Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
o Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
o Restart, or log out then back in.
3. Add Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
o Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
o Restart or log out then back in.
