T40 Wireless works, internet doesnt Xmas tragedy

Have spent the better part of pre and post Xmas getting a new router, broadband, a Wii connected, my husband's new tablet laptop on the network, and one son's T40 all working. My oldest son's T40 simply will not.... (they are both refurbished by USA notebooks). One son's simply took the network settings and worked. Gave up on the other's internal card, it would never connect with more than a 20-second long weak signal although it did recognize by name the family network. Using a Lnksys Wireless G external adapter gets a strong signal on the family network, but Internet Explorer still won't work. Have racked my limited brain, tried everything I can think of (Internet Explorer security settings, three different diagnostic programs, flashing my other son's settings, etc...) The IBM access connection checks everything out as fine except for the Pings. The other thing I notice is that the "Radio On/Off" feature lets me select "On", but doesn't actually turn it on from the taskbar. There also was a taskbar network device "cable unplugged" at first but I disabled that in the control panel. One son is happily on the computer, and dad and mom are on the other one's all day trying to figure this out. Any ideas? (We thought once we made the wireless connection to the family network we were home free : ( Any ideas or theories much appreciated, thank you Robyn

Hi Dsnyder5516,
Welcome to the forum!
I suggest using System Restore in Windows to the point where your wireless was working fine.
I hope it helps.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My apple TV has worked flawlessly since Xmas 2011. Now when I download a new movie, it tells me the movie won't be ready for 6 hours. I haven't changed my internet hardware or provider, or speed. Can anyone help?

Winston is right. If it seems OK though, I would also add that you should make sure to check it at the same day and time you have tried to download the movie. I had the same thing happen to me and it turned out my speed was fine much of the time but was dropping to like a few hundred kbps from about 7-11 evenings (typically when we were trying to order a movie).

HT201299 Verizon signal is strong but get error message "Ipad is not connected to the Internet"   Wireless works but my Verizon account does not

Verizon signal is strong but get error message "Ipad is not connected to the Internet"   When I try to use Safari.
Wireless works but my Verizon account does not

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Wired internet doesnt work

Ive been using a WRT160N for almost a year now, 1 for a wired desktop and another for a wireless laptop.Suddenly the wired desktop cant connect to the internet but the wireless works fine. i tried reseting it and renewing the ip still no avail. is my router broken?

Are you getting an ip address if you wire a computer to the router? Like what was mentioned above, try each port in the router and do a ping test.
1. Connect a computer to port 1 of the router
2. Open command prompt and type in ping 192.168.1.1
3. Check and see if you get any replies
4. Do this for all 4 ethernet ports of the router
If you do not get any response, do a firmware upgrade. You may use a wireless computer in doing this, but you need to be near the router to make sure that the wireless connection will not be interrupted. Once the upgrade is finish, reset and reconfigure the router.

[SOLVED] Can't get ethernet and wireless working on timelineX 3820TG

Hi folks I am new around here, but wanted to try arch for a while now.
So here is my problem and description :
I installed Arch (everything in order there and the guide is great! ), but when I come to the part of connecting to the internet I seem to be left without an option for internet conection. Which is strange because I have Ubuntu installed on the machine and wireless works (propriatary drivers) and ethernet kind of works (atheros driver).
Now from Ubuntu I know that for my wifi I need the wl kernel module (Broadcom wireless card) and that I need the atl1c module for the Ethernet.
So here is some basic info about the machine:
installed image 2010.05 x64 with kernel:
2.6.33-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu May 13 11:32:37 CEST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 450 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
ifconfig -a output :
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Even if I load the atl1c module the output is the same, I tried loading the atl1e instead. I also tried blacklisting atl1c and atl1e and adding them with modprobe command.
here are the two adapters (wireless and lan) :
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8151 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0)
05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4357 (rev 01)
EDIT:
Well...
After a quite extensive research I see that the atl1c and atl1e are quite buggy... so I guess in my case they won't work.
But I am not giving up yet...
all I need is internet conection (wireles or wired), so I did some research on the Broadcom 4357.
It turnes out that I can find it in the AUR repository. And there is also a tar from broadcom.
I also found this guide which describes how to install the driver.
That however presents new problems...
make command output for the broadcom driver :
make: *** /lib/modules/"release"/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
while "makepgk" tells me that makepgk is not installed.
I also searched in the packages section for build-essential, makepgk... but found nothing relevant. Maybe I did something wrong ?
Any Ideas on how to get it all working and compile the driver? (preferably with the files from AUR)
Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks. i found this one: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19514
that's too bad. i was hoping i wouldn't have to use it, but maybe i have no choice.
but now that broadcom has released the driver as open source (see this: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ker … ral/55418), will broadcom-wl become obsolete?

I need a Wireless G Internet Camera for the MAC

I would like to buy a mac compatible Wireless G Internet Camera. Ive found lots of PC/Windoze ones but no mac ones... I would like it to be under $100 street price like all the PC cams...
Any help?
Thanks guys!

The important factor that I found for compatibility is that the camera's web server needs to be Java based, and not rely on any ActiveX Microsoft technologies. It can then be used by any browser in MacOS, Windows, and Linux.
About 4 years ago I bought a D-Link DCS-900W for around $200. It worked well out in the barn while my wife was waiting for a mare to foal. Friends all over the web were able to tune in and check out the situation.
Currently, I've seen that the D-Link DCS-920 Wireless G is available from the usual suspects all over the internet for between $70 to $90.
We found that the camera's work well if they are in a well lighted area. Low light cameras can get pricey. Don't expect real motion high def, especially if you are pushing the wireless distance limit.

My Extreme is not seeing a working internet connection

My airport extreme will not see a working internet. The assist utility tells to recycle the modem, and I did. Then the apple extreme assigns its own iP address and the airport utility is telling me that it has no internet connection. Since my internet connection works fine in ethernet mode, directly hooked up to my Imac, I think that the apple extreme is prehaps fried.
I have reset the apple extreme about 3 times going thru the steps outlined in the utility and it ends up every time assigning itself its own IP address because it can't see the internet.
The only thing that I haven't done is try to set it up with no security, but I don't remember a step for this, unless if you don't give it a password, it will not set up any security.
Any ideas, or is it fried and I should get a new one.

I know that you tried a number of resets, but please give the following a go:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Wireless Live Internet Camera

I am on a Macintosh (OSX) and recently plugged in my wireless camera again. The both the power and wireless lights are illuminated (green). There is not an installer for this product on the Macintosh. Also, the user guide download does not open fro Creative's site.
Anyone have the first steps they can share for me to start using this?
I presume I reset the device and plug it into an active ethernet connection for me to administer it....
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeffster?

Hi Jeffster,
The Wireless Live Internet Camera (Model number: 73VF0800000) is not going to work in your Mac (OSX) nor it would have an installer. Below is the minimum system specs:[*]Minimum system requirements: Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP; 550 MHz or faster processor; 128 MB RAM; 300 MB free disk space; Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, or other Web browser; cable/DSL connection for Internet viewing; Active-X 8.0 or higher; CD-ROM dri've; available USB port; wired or wireless network adapter with TCP/IP protocol installed.<Cheers.

New C310 - Wireless working FAIL - Printer's wireless network seems to be dead

Product: HP Photosmart Premium C310
OS: Windows Vista 64 bit and Windows 7 64 Bit
Error: Wireless working: FAIL
Changes: No changes since this is the first install of this printer ever
Description:
I've just unpacked my new C310 as a replacement for my older HP Inktjet 3845.
But when trying to install the wireless network everything I try seems to fail.
Printer doesn't detect my wireless network (blue wireless led is blinking 1sec on - 1sec off )
HP Network test tool on my laptop (standing next to the printer to test it's location ) gives no issues whatsoever, wireless network is strong and working very well.
Settings of the wifi connection are WPA security, no WPS, Channel 11, ... .
When I run a Wireless Network Test report from the printer menu, the result is (= printout)
* Wireless On => PASS
* Wireless Working => FAIL
* All the other points below are on status NOT RUN so no connection at all ...
Solutions tested:
Tried to reboot printer while waiting 1 minute in between => No result
Reset to factory settings straight on the printer => No result
Tried to run the Wireless network Setup Wizzard several times without merit.
Explanations on the forums seemed to be that this might be a faulty wireless network card in the printer?
Since this is one of the reasons of buying this item, I do need it to work.
Can anyone provide me advice/next steps?
Kind regards,
Raf

We moved and it sat in a box for 2 months, now, when its turned on and I go through set up it doesn't recognize a wireless network. I ran a test page wireless on, wireless working... fail, then all the other tests say not run. I turned it off and on, unplugged and replugged, I'm at a loss, anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
