Telstra wireless modem card wont connect since installed OSX 14.11

I downloaded the 14.11 software upgrade and my Telstra wireless modem no longer connects to the upgraded Big pond software 2.8.10 anyone else having problems or any suggestions on how to resolve

I am familiar with how to add hardware and point to a .msi file under XP, but less so on Windows 7. I ran the add hardware tool, but it finds no new hardware to add. There is no point installing a driver when the hardware can't be found. Besides, I didn't do anything that would have changed or removed the old driver. My WiFi was working perfectly until Sunday.
I also tried rolling back windows to an earlier restore point. Unfortunately, it reports that it is unable to apply any of the prior restore points (even after I temporarily disabled Norton AntiVirus).
How to I initiate getting a replacement WiFi card under warranty?

Since installing OSX 10 my iMac randomly shuts down and restarts. I can not determine why this is happening. Any ideas?

1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandboxing security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know what is safe?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is unsafe.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are outside the safe harbor, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe. For instance, if a web page warns you that Flash is out of date, do not follow an offered link to an update. Go to the Adobe website to download it, if you need it at all.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
"FREE WI-FI !!!" networks in public places are unsafe unless you can verify that the network is not a trap (which you probably can't.) Even then, do not download any software or transmit any private information while connected to such a network, regardless of where it seems to come from or go to.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free anti-virus products in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. Most of the real danger comes from highly targeted "zero-day" attacks that are not yet recognized.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless an institutional policy requires it.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

WRT54G ver 6 and Wireless B Card not connecting....

I am about to literally throw this router out the front door. I bought this one because my other one quit working and now after a very long time trying I STILL cannot get these things to work. I had a Netgear for a long time but it recently stopped working to I bought a Linksys router to go along with my wireless card. I cannot for figure this thing out! Any help would be great!
I am using:
WRT54G version 6
Bellsouth ISP
WPC11 wireless B Card
I have an internet connection when the modem only is plugged to my computer but not when the router is hooked up. I have checked and double checked all the connections and they are correct. My wireless card on my laptop says it has good strength and is connected to the access point but the internet connection cannot be found.
I have read over almost all of these threads and still cannot figure out why my internet will not work with the router. I think it has something to do with the IP addresses but I can't figure it out.....
I have tried to use the IP address 192.168.1.1 instead of the CD with no success. I have deleted any other connections and my dial up connection. I have changed the channell also to 11. I turned off the firewalls too. I even tried the "EasyLink Connect" tool and it could not recognize the router either. What else should I try??
Now when I try the http://192.168.1.1 link it does not work either..... It will not ping either.
Thanks for any help!

1) Remove the modem from the set-up temporarily.
2) Connect ur computer directly to port 1 of the router
3) Press the reset button of the router for 30 seconds
4) Open up internet explorer and type in 192.168.1.1 on the address bar.
5) username leave it blank password: admin
6) Look for the LAN IP Address w/c is set to the default value 192.168.1.1
7) Change this one to 192.168.2.1 then save settings.
8) Exit out of the page
9) Connect the modem to the internet port of the router.
10) turn off the devices in the ff order:
► PC
► router
► modem
11) turn them on in the ff order
►modem
►router
►PC

Disable the wireless network card upon connection.

Has anyone done the following, if so can you provide some insite on how to do it and how well it works....If wireless networking is not being used in the organization, it is possible for CSA to disable
the wireless network card when it is connected to the corporate network. I'm assuming by using the system
state variable with the rule, you can allow laptop users the ability to use wireless when they are
not connected to the corporate network.

I dont' see a system state "ethernet active" do I create this? I'm on CSA version 5.1.0.103. I have a system state called network which has the description of All users who are logged on via a network connection. Is that the same thing you mean? Then how do I create the rule? I get to where I have a NAC rule but I'm not for sure what to choose after that.

Problem with wifi connection since installing Lion OS X

Has anyone had problems since installing Lion OS X with there wifi connection? I keep getting bumped off my connection in multiple different locations ....that i never had a problem before. I installed Lion on my laptop and my Mac and I am having the same problem with both. Is there something i need to change on my settings?

One way to look at this problem is to install a Stumbler program and look at what channels are being used in your immediate area. You may find the channel you are using is very busy, and switching your Router to a channel with less competition, or setting your Router to automatic channel selection, improves the situation.
Another way to address this problem, especially since it seems to correlate with software Upgrade, is to set it up from scratch again:
System Preferences > Network > WiFI/Airport > ( Assist me ) > ( Set Up ) ...
... and re-specify from scratch, especially using a New Location.

Is anyone else losing their internet connection since installing mountain lion?

since installing mountain lion when I come home from work safari won't pick up the internet connection without rebooting. Once rebooting everything works fine until the next day when I incur the same issue. Any thoughts?

Are you on 10.8.2 as ypur profile says? If so, it's worth updating to 10.8.3 which was released last week.

Here's a link to some suggestions that helped some users with similar problems in Lion. May still be relevant to MLion. Also check the links within the article:

Also when I had wifi problems in the past, creating a new network location resolved it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289 (under the heading 'Making New Locations'.
I've also seen threads where users with wifi problems have successfully solved them by changing the channel in the router's wifi settings.

Trouble connecting since installing Lion

Since installing Lion on my Macbook Pro, I'm having trouble acquiring and maintaining connections with my WiFi signal. No such issues with my Snow Leopard/Leopard Macs, PCs, iPhone and iPad.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
JD

JD, I have experienced the same ... losing connection frequently ... what did it for me was to unplug my router (Time Capsule) and network extension (Apple Extreme) for about 15 minutes, then plug back in ... don't know if it will work for you, but it surely is worth trying I'd say

Troubleshooting mail 5.0 since installing OSx Lion

Hi,
We had first snowlepard without troubleshooting and since we installed OSx Lion we got major problems with the sending feature in Mail 5.0 - the system is not connecting to the server when we put mail on sending - almost every time it's ends up with a message where I have to mark which "server" I want to use for sending but I want work out even if I try everything from MobileMe to smtp-address. Sometimes when I restart the computer and delete the account for the mail and set a new up again it can work for a short while.
I would be grateful if someone could respond with ideas how to solve it.
The serienumber is W8848L8M1AQ, version Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 (11B26)
Best regards
John M

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I am having a similar issue on my iMac 27" (2011).
Once the computer goes to sleep, Apple TV is unable to wake it up (I do have the "Wake for network access" Energy Saver option turned on).
I have to specifically login and "wake up" the computer before my Apple TV can see it.
Overall, I find Mount Lion to be much more stable and smoother compared to Lion - but this issue is very annoying

Airport Extreme Card wont connect to D-Link DIR-615 (wireless N router)

Hi, I got an old Mac G5 that has the airport extreme card in it and can't connect to the internet through with my D-Link DIR-615. I tried a couple options on a MAC but didn't work. I have a Laptop running Windows Vista and had no problem connecting. I'm using WPA for security and my password has 31 characters. Do you guys think That I have to change the length of my password to 26 or even less? Is there any guide that you guys may know that cuold help me on this issue?
Thanks a lot.
Masrocha

Password
40-bit hex
40-bit ASCII
128-bit hex
128-bit ASCII
LEAP
This would be telling me that your G5's AirPort is NOT "seeing" the D-Link's wireless network as encrypted with WPA, but with WEP instead. This typically can be caused by either the D-Link's current configuration is incompatible with the AirPort card or that there is something amiss with the AirPort card itself.
BTW, My D-Link has WEP, WAP-Personal and WAP-Enterprise
Ok, we will want to stick with either WEP or WPA-Personal.
We now have two choices: 1) Continue to troubleshoot additional configuration changes to the D-Link to try to get WPA to work with your G5, or 2) Switch to the lower strength encryption: WEP.
Which would you prefer to try?

A1irport card wont connect to Dlink DIR-615

I'm having exactly the same problem as described in this archived thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1690175&tstart=0
In my case, I have an original Airport card installed in an iMac G3 400. I can see my network and attempt to connnect to it but it never connects and says "there was an error joining "network name"". The thread above did not seem to offer any resolution to the problem. Does anyone have any ideas? I have the router set to allow connections to b, g, and n networks (I have a newer iMac to with an n card installed so need that).

Did you try turning OFF security on the router temporarily? Get it working without security, then turn it back ON.
Also, if security is turned ON, are you using the WPA security protocol? Most 802.11b AirPort cards support WPA under Mac OS X, but the earliest ones do not. They all support the earlier WEP protocol.
You may also want to reset the router. They often have a recessed button you can press to reset it. First, get the iMac to connect to router (that is using its default settings). Then, if any special settings are needed for your setup, change them. If the iMac stops connecting at some point, at least you know what setting change caused the issue.

Airport card wont connect

I just recently got this 15 inch G4 Powerbook and the Airport card is acting funny. I can connect to a wireless router but whenever I try to access the net the signal immediately drops and reconnects over and over, and I am unable to get online. It does this even when I am two feet away from the router. All my other computers including other Mac laptops work fine.

My problem is very similar. I need help too.

Keep losing internet connection since installing Yosemite

After installing Yosemite on three Macs I am unable to maintain consistent internet connection on two of them. One with ethernet connection requires repeated rebooting of the router, and the other mac (wi-fi) requires going through systems preferences\network\diagnostics repeatedly. The third mac is operating just fine.
Any ideas would be helpful.

I have exact same issue. Worked perfectly before Yosemite. After Yosemite, connection to Internet and Server drop out continually, every 15 minutes or so. Other MAC works perfectly on the same connection. Have already verified that the cables, router ports, etc are working fine.
Your advice will be greatly appreciated, as the frequency of drop-out makes it unusable.
