Think disabling WMM on G580 solved wifi Limited Access issue

I'm posting this in the hope the hope that it may help someone else. I have a G580, model 20150 with Windows 8.1 and the Broadcom wifi card. Like many of you, I had the limited Access dropout issue. Here's the things I can remember trying previously:
Switching from the Microsoft Broadcom driver to the Broadcom driver.
Turning off power management on the Broadcom driver
Setting IBSS mode to just b/g
Disable Bluetooth collaboration.
Disabling all things power managment I could find.
etc...
The thing I found that seemed to fix it once and for all is going to the Advanced properties of the Broadcom and disabling "WMM". As I understand it, WMM is a QoS feature for prioritizing audio/video port traffic over data. Supposedly, you can't take advantage of wireless N speeds with WMM off, but I'll trade performance for not having to reconnect every 15 minutes.
I'm not going to mess with telling you how to disable WMM since there are tons of instructions and discussions on the interwebs. I also can't guarantee that it wasn't a combination of WMM and other fixes that solved my problem because I'm not willing to experiment on my finally working pc. My system has been constantly connected and going strong for 12 hours.
Good luck and I hope this helps.

Don't these usually work by intercepting the DNS quieries and then redirecting you to the gateway for authentication? Check your DNS settings and try to use theirs for the nameserver. Make sure something else isn't getting specified such as Google Public DNS.

Apple mobile device support install/uninstall sets my wireless to limited access

Dell Pavilion dv7
Windows 7 64 bit.
Current itunes 10.4
When installing itunes 10.5, my wireless connection changed to limited access. I can not connect to the internet with wireless. If I put my ethernet cable in, i can connect to the internet through the ethernet cable.
I found no solutions to fix the limited access issue. So, i had to restore my system. After the restore my wireless connection could connect to the internet again.
But now itunes does not work. One of two messages come up. The latest (i have done several system restores). Either quicktime was not found or something about iTunes Library.itl is out of synch with the current version of itunes.
Now i decide to uninstall all the itunes installed products one at a time. Itunes, quicktime, Apple software update, Apple mobile device support and there it goes, my wireless connection changes to limited access again.
Any help would be great.

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

How to fix Windows 8.1 "limited access" internet?

I have just upgraded to Windows 8.1 (NOT preview) from Windows 8 a few days ago and now the internet completely doesn't work on my Asus X550CC series notebook. It displays "limited access" and sometimes the internet bars has no indication of
a limited access. Internet was fully functional before I upgraded my notebook. Internet broswers, IE, Firefox and Chrome and Windows applications don't work. There's nothing wrong with my wireless internet because it works perfectly on other computers and
internet devices. Please help, this internet problem is really causing inconveniences! What can I do to fix this problem? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply,
I've already read that article and it has not helped me with my problem.
I've done a Windows Connection Diagnostics test and says it has detected problems that were not able to be fixed automatically:
"Problem with wireless adapter or access point" and
"Your computer appears to be currently configured, but the device or resource (www.microsoft.com) is not
responding" What does all this mean anyway?
I was advised to reinstall my laptop NIC driver by AsusTek and hopefully that'll resolve my problem, I'll let you know.
Edited:
When I opened my computer, I realised I had internet access and was so happy, soon finding out it only lasted for 15 mins and then dropped completely and wouldn't come back. The next day, I went on to see if
it'll work again and it did! I quickly checked if there was a Windows Update and there was, updated and internet is back and running smoothly, fixing my "limited access" issue.
Hope this fixes your same problem, goodluck.

My apple id was disabled, and i reset the password but it still says its disabled. Has anyone solved this problem?

my apple id was disabled, and i reset the password but it still says its disabled. Has anyone solved this problem?

I solved that particular problem for myself (although I am running iTunes 11 under Snow Leopard on an iMac) by deselecting one of my Users Admin. privs. You see, I had two users w/admin privs & iTunes now plays nicely when there is only one admin.
Otherwise, I would keep getting stuck in an "infinite loop" of resetting passwords over & over and still iTunes was a mess - albeit on an intermittent basis which was absolutely driving me nuts!
I also think that firing up Safari and signing into my account @ apple first seems to help; providing that an apple cookie gets placed in my machine before I go to the iTunes store and enjoy surfing around there.
Anyways, good luck~

Disabling WMM in Motorola NVG589

I get very choppy video when I try to use IPad mirroring with Apple TV. I have read that turning off WMM on the router can fix this but I can't seem to locate where I would do this in my router. I did find some mention of it in the admin manual for the NVG589 but it looked to be command line stuff. Has anyone else been able to turn off WMM? Can you please provide step by step instructions? Thanks in advance

hello, i have the same problem here and i'm trying to figure out 1) if wmm is disabled or enabled, and 2) how to disable wmm. the default web browser interface does not appear to have the option to enable/disable wmm. from the NVG589 "Administrators Handbook" in the link below, it appears one can telnet into the router (see page 107), view and set the "physical wireless wmm enable" to on or off with these commands (page 156):view physical wireless wmm enableset physical wireless wmm enable off however, the "connection is refused" when i try to telnet into the router @ http://192.168.1.254 (the web browser interface is at that address). so that's where i'm stuck. another option to solve this problem is to connect the uverse gateway to a different wireless router but that seems like a waste to me...especially since i'm not sure disabling wmm or another router will fix the problem i tried contacting uverse about this, and they sent me to their "connect tech" or something group who wants to charge $50 to help (that's a bit frustrating!) http://community.arubanetworks.com/aruba/attachments/aruba/unified-wired-wireless-access/26009/1/Motorola%20NVG589%20VDSL2%20Gateway.pdf

G580 Limited access Wireless problem

Hello,my first post here.
G580 wireless adapter BCM4313
Try different divers,but problem still exist.When i surf on internet everything is OK,but when i put something to downloading my connection get limited access and need to disable wireless card to connect again or restart computer.The problem is not from my router for sure.Appreciate any help.

So far, no solution yet. Do you have a Broadcom wireless N chip in your system?

Your apple id has been disabled . how i can solve this problem

your apple id has been disabled . how i can solve this problem

Depending on why it's been disabled, you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your device then try logging out of your account on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

HT204017 Yosemite update does not solve wifi problems

yosemite update does not solve wifi. Apple are as garbage as Microsoft now, but they have the cheek to charge twice as much!,
Apple, you have lost my future business...might as well buy a cheap windows laptop now.

Hello Chutley,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Depending on what is happing with your Wi-FI connection, the update may or may not resolve your issues. Since updating didn't resolve your issues, you might want to take a look at the following article for additional steps to try:

Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wifi Card - Possible Issues [SOLVED]

Dear Lucky owners of such a card, At least from my experience I realized it is not that bad card, even if most probably many production pieces were faulty or not working properly, and many issues can be resolved. Let me list in order of time the issues I faced and solved about this wifi card: 0) First issue is not about RT3290 card itself but it is related to 802.11w encryption compatibility in between Windows8 and Cisco not allowing 802.11n speed rates so failing to G speeds only. - SOLUTIONS: a. As first test I would recommend trying another router from different brand to see if connecting at 802.11n speed rates b. If you prove point a issue, then try to fix the issue based on following post (in which you can see the reply from myself Emanuele on the 29th of Nov 2014): https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/113836/windows-8-clients-cant-associate-cisco-unified-wireless 1) Signal strenght issue: original wifi card RT3290 installed on my HP laptop was having really bad antenna, with signal fluctuating and sometimes bad even really close to any Router I tried. - SOLUTION: Replace the RT3290 card even with same new card. (In my case as laptop was under warranty, I proved the issue via screenshots and they replaced with new card solving my signal strenght issue). 2) Original issue (1) was actually resolved after HP replaced the wifi card with same model, but with the latest driver installed 5.0.45 seems like wifi rates change too frequently based on high sensitivity of the driver itself, so that suggested me issue was still there, so making me re-testing anything from scratch. - SOLUTION: Install 5.0.37 Driver - frequent rate changes issue (with driver 5.0.45) disappears and sensitivity of signal to rate changes seems to be a really good compromise to have good throughput. 3) To check out 2nd issue above I started again using a third party software inSSIDer free version to check signal while I was doing speedtest on web.
- RESOLUTION:
inSSIDer normally works on Windows7 without any issue but on Windows8 (at least tested with RT3290) I have just discovered somehow this software was slowing down wifi card performance drastically showing a speed up to 0.1Mbps rather than 40Mbps. Simply closing the application issue was not recurring, so uninstalled it and after solving all the other issues above this card works perfectly (at least so far ) Hope this post will be informative and will help other about-to-get-mad guys as me

Hye. After I read up your solutions, I am quite impressive and really want to try out those solutions. However, I am not very computer wise and I really appreciate if you make a video on solving this problem. Up to you if you want to upload it on the youtube (so that others with similar problem can view it and solve the problem too) or you want to direct email to me ( [email protected] ). I really hope you can help me because I am stuck with this problem since last year. Thank you!!!

When is Apple going to release an update to our software that will eliminate a thiefs ability once the phone is stolen to turn off the find my phone option without first entering the security code? I think that this would solve a ton of issues.

It would be a voilation of privete laws of many countries
Every attempt to fight "evil" have a backside likely the reason they have not don so yet
In the country i live in if stolen i repport the imei number of the phone to the police and the have all carriers and carriers they work with in other countries block the phone from ever being used as a phone

Can you help me solve my aspect ratio issue?

Hey guys,
I'm posting this in hopes that someone can help me solve an aspect ratio issue with a project that I have to finish by tomorrow.
I'm trying to avoid having to re-edit the entire thing.
I shot the project with my Nikon D7000 DSLR. in 720p 30p (29.97)
I am running Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 (the trial version). I have the full version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3.
The reason I was working with the trial is that CS3 can't handle the H.264 MOVs that the D7000 records.
You can work with a timeline, but if you try to export anything, it never works. I always have to convert my footage to ProRes MOVs with MPEG Streamclip before I can work with them is CS3. That takes a lot of time and a lot of hard drive space. After much research, I found out that CS5 is the way to go for DSLR footage. I just need to save up my pennies for the upgrade.
So I thought I'd edit this short (1 minute) project with the trial to see how CS5 works with the D7000 footage.
Upon installing the trial program, I found that the project presets were limited. I knew this ahead of time because it's clearly stated on the Adobe's website.
But I wasn't aware how limited they are.
Since "DSLR 1280x720p 30p" is not an option with the trial, I was going to use HDV 720p 30p. But that was not an option either!
So basically, my only option for 16x9 30p was "DV NTSC Widescreen". It's my understanding that this is 864x480 (in square pixel aspect ratio) or 720x480 (in widescreen pixel aspect ratio) I needed the output file to be 864x486. I downsized the footage to 69% in the "Video Effects: Motion" setting so it looked correct in the project. I didn't think about those extra 6 pixels until I outputed the file and saw thin black lines on the top and bottom. My guess is that Premiere is adding black pixels because my project is technically 720x480 (1.2121)
Any thoughts on how I can get a clean 864x486 export? I'd rather not re-edit the whole thing...which I would have to do in CS3 after I spent a few hours converting the original files in MPEG Streamclip. I don't know if there is a way to export something out of CS5 and then open a new project in CS3 to make this work.
Thanks in adavance!

On export, just crop a few pixels off of each side; that'll let the image scale correctly to the output frame size without black bars.
I'm not running the trial, but you should still be able to create a custom sequence preset using the Desktop editing mode. Just switch over to the General tab when you create a new sequence, and choose "Desktop" from the editing modes. Set the rest of the parameters as you need them.
Even easier: once you've imported your footage, just drag a clip to the New Item icon at the bottom of the project panel; a sequence will be created matching your footage parameters. You can edit at full-resolution, and then export to your desired frame size when complete--you'll probably still need to crop a few pixels (in the Export Settings window) to eliminate the black bars.

Lenovo G400s Wireless Connection Limited Access on Windows 7 Ultimate - 32 bit

Just bought Lenovo G400s, install windows 7 ultimate - 32 bit on it.
It turns out the wireless network driver need to install manually, the disc driver that came with laptop was for windows 8.1. So I went to lenovo website, put on the series and download the wirelss network driver which is around 250 MB.
I installed the driver and connect to the wireless network. My office wireless was on security and use static ip. I changed the ipv4 ip static already. It connected for a while, 1-2 second then lost connection. I checked with ping to google, got 2 records of live connection which is very short. After that it try to reconnecting itself again and again with status said "Limited Access"
I search in google, read some forums about problem in different series, so I use another computer go to Intel website to download latest driver. Got it installed, but it's still the same.
I try download broadcom driver, but it's really different and doesn't work at all.
Now I don't know what to do.
Windows 7 Ultimate - 32 bit
Inter(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 135
Driver Provider: Intel
Driver Date: 1/26/2014
Driver Version: 15.11.0.7
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compability Publisher
What makes it weird, although from intel website said the driver date is in 3/21/2014, and the version is 16.11.0, but this information I get from device driver was different.
Here's the intel's website if you're wondering:
_https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+Wi-Fi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Centrino%C2%AE+Wireless-N+135#&OSVersion=Windows%207%20(32-bit)*&DownloadType=Software%20Applications
Can anyone help me?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Today I want to install windows 8.1 on it, because the laptop came with windows 8.1 driver disc.
However, I try the wireless connection once again , one final try before I clean install the OS.
It turns out the internet connection is connected. Ping is quite stable, got a small drop. Nonetheless, IT'S CONNECTED!!!
I don't know what happened, I tried thousand ways yesterday and gave up. Today I don't set anything just try connecting with static IP set the ipv4 just like I did yesterday, and it connects without hassle!! is there a pc fairy or what?
The possible way I can think of is the router's internet connection's got restarted since It's a new day at office.
Despite how it solved still mystery to me, I think I mark this thread as Solved.

Has anyone solved the "garbled characters" issue i...

When I use Nokia Maps on my N95, all streets and towns which contain special characters such as: é, è, ü, ä, ö, etc… do appear garbled. For example,
Zürich appears as: Zã¼rich
München appears as: Mã¼nchen
Liège appears as: Liã"ge
I saw a couple posts on this forum where people suggested to format the memory card, some other suggested to reload the firmware (my N95 has 12.0.013) but nothing has helped. I went as far as using someone's PC whose WinXP is installed in French - I thought that maybe the operating system or regional settings could have some influence, but I was wrong.
Has anyone solved this extremely annoying issue?
Thx

I solved it. It took me one evening. I wonder why Nokia haven't published any comments on this old issue.
Solution can be found below, but before I want to tell about some technical details. Maybe guys at Nokia will read them
As someone on this forum said before the problem is that map names are in UTF-8 format, but phone tries to show them using another encoding. After some googling I found that this issue is well-known because Nokia phones use ISO 8859-1 (which is similar to Windows-1252, Western European) by default but some application assume UTF-8 to be default.
At first, I discovered that when I start Nokia map with empty SD card and allow it to download something from internet, all names were shown correctly. I supposed that the problem sits in that awful Map Loader, but I was wrong: it does absolutely nothing special with data files, just downloading and unzipping. And this super-mega-feature-rich-map-loader require about 40Mb to download for .NET 3.0 plus 10 Mb for itself. Never seen anything worse
So I've started to compare contents of one SD card with incorrect street and city names and another with correct.
After some time I came across Cachedatheader.cdt file in diskcache folder. And what do you think?
The file from correct SD card contains a literal string: "UTF-8". While incorrect one contains a string saying "ISO 8859-1". I've nearly fell out of my chair after seeing that.
I've replaced wrong file with correct one and names became readable on all my 180mb of previously downloaded maps.
Finally, after playing with it some more I found a simple solution which should work for everyone:
***** SOLUTION *****
1. Enable internet access in Nokia Maps application (set it to When Needed).
2. Access memory card from your PC and go to "\PRIVATE\20001f66\diskcache" folder.
3. Delete "CachedatHeader.cdt" file. Perhaps you should backup it somewhere before deleting, but it looks like it can be removed safely without affecting existing maps.
4. Put the card back in the phone if you extracted it and start Nokia Maps.
5. Allow Nokia Maps to access internet and try downloading some new locations (you don't need to download much, just let it access server) or searching for something.
6. Now codepage should be correct and all names become readable.
This effect seems to be permanent and will stay even if you disable internet access later. Also note that you don't have to format card, remove or reinstall any map files. The problem is just in one small file.
Nokia Maps recreates missing CachedatHeader.cdt, but it will recreate it correctly only if internet access is enabled when it starts. Probably the best way to avoid wrong codepage problem is to enable internet access at first start of Nokia Maps and use Map Loader only after downloading some bits of map directly from the phone.
