Trouble connecting multiple computers wirelessly

I have an airport extreme base station and I am having trouble connecting more than one computer wirelessly to the internet. In fact if I do get the other computer connected, it crashes the connection of my main computer that is always connected. Any help? Am I explaining this clearly enough?

Can you tell us what happens if you turn wireless off on the computers and temporarily connect both of them to the AirPort Extreme using ethernet? Same problem?

  • I am having trouble connecting multiple computers to AP Extreme

    I just dumped Verizon for a cable company for internet access. I was able to connect my MacBook Pro via my AP Extreme connected to the cable co modem, but can't seem to connect anything else (iMac, iPod, iPad, etc). What am I doing wrong?

    Hi, I'm trying to accomplish the same thing but I'm running into a problem.  When I attempt these steps listed above, I get an Error message, it says:
    The DHCP range you have entered conflicts with the WAN IP address of your airport wireless device.
    DHCP Beginning address  172.16.4.2  (it only gives me the option to change the last digit)
    DHCP Ending address:  172.16.4.200   (" ")
    My current setup:
    - TimeCapsule connected to ethernet coming out of the wall (I live in a huge apt building with prewired ethernet into each unit)
    - TC is currently in BridgeMode, password protected
    - Mac Mini able to connect to internet and WiFi from TC while in Bridge Mode
    - iPad and iPhone both "see" the network but fail to connect to it.  On each iOS device, the checkmark next to my network name flashes on and off as the devices try unsuccessfully to connect. 
    Steps taken:
    - Factory reset of TC
    - Removal of password on network
    Other info:
    - I had the network and all three devices connected as of last week.  I returned from vacation and my iOs devices no longer want to connect to my wifi.
    Thank you!!

  • I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet. I keep getting message that my network configuration settings have changed. Ive been advised that i need to change settings to look for dynamic ip address ?

    I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet and am getting the message that my network configuration settings have changed. I have reported it to my provider who advised that they think the Mac is looking for a fixed IP address and they use dynamic addresses. I have had the Mac for months and have not had this problem before. I would appreciate any help please on how to fix this ?

    Then I get a separate pop up that says: Secure Connection Failed. aus3.mozilla:443 uses an invalid security certificate.
    The certificate is only valid for the following names: securelogin.arubanetworks.com, www.securelogin.arubanetworks.com
    (Error code: ssl_error_cert_domain)
    This could be a problem with the server's configuration or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
    If you have connected to this server successfully in the past the error may be temporary and you can try again later.
    I have tried many many times!

  • Trouble connecting to my wireless internet

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble connecting to my wireless internet. We have a linksys wireless router, and I know the MAC filter is turned on, so I've added my computer to the router, and I've put the password in correctly, but it keeps saying there is an error connecting to the network. All my other roommates have PC's, this shouldn't be a problem? My Mac should have no problem connecting to this modem, right?
    Thanks

    Hello jennhie,
    You can download the firmware at your router manufacturer's homepage. Look for download>firmware
    If you are not familiar with the process, download the manual as well. It will be very helpful in the update process.
    Hope this will help
    Good luck

  • Does anyone have trouble connecting to their wireless network, after being logged on for some time? Mountain Lion.

    I am having trouble connecting to my wireless network.  It works when I startup my computer but, after a while it can't seem to find the wireless network. I have an Airport Extreme and the light is green. The only way to remedy this problem is to restart my computer. Mountain Lion isn't that great after all not to mention it distorts some images when scrolling. I am kindly asking for some advice, I assume a major update will be coming soon.

    You don't by chance have a "invisible" or "hidden" network enabled on the router?
    Because Mac's won't reconnect automatically now to hidden network only upon reboots, it's sort of like advertising the hidden network if you take the computer elsewhere.
    Also hidden networks are no deterrent to hackers, they see all.
    Also check your time and date, make sure they accurate first, then save that, then make sure it's updated via Apple time servers in your general location (System Preferences > Time and Date) If your being kicked off, your DCHP lease might be expiring too early.

  • I am having trouble connecting IPAD1 to wireless any suggestions?

    I am having trouble connecting my IPad1 to Belkin Wireless Router. It was working fine until a couple of days ago. I can use my IMAC okay via wireless.

  • Issues connecting multiple machines wirelessly to WRT54G router

    I have a WRT54G router and have one wired desktop, two laptops that connect fine and then I have a netbook and another desktop with wireless adapter I am having issues with connecting.  I used the wizard and set each machine up with the downloaded executable, it says it works but when I try to connect I get unable to connect to wireless network message.  ANy ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated

    You have one computer connected with the cable and 2 wireless computers working fine. That means the router is working fine.
    I think you should check the wireless settings of the router first.
    You have one computer connected to the router with the Ethernet cable. Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Check the wireless network name. Go to wireless security sub tab. Check the wireless security mode and make sure that you have the correct password of your wireless network. Go to Wireless MAC address filter sub tab and make sure that it is disabled.
    Try to connect to the wireless network again and see if that works.

  • 3510 all in one having trouble connecting to new wireless network

    Ok - just to update, at least the drivers are downloadable now ... I'll see if that resolves my issue. 

    Hi guys.  I just switched to a new modem through my ISP (Rogers) that has a built in router and a much faster connection.  (Previously, this 3510 printer was working just fine over my network with a modem and a router that was separate.)  My computer is hooked into the internet via a direct cable and everyone else in the household connects via wireless, which has been set up and works well.  For some reason though, my 3510 refuses to play nice with the modem and connect to the network.   I've tried plugging it in via usb cable, then going into the settings and clicking on the "convert a usb connected printer to wireless" option.  I hit "yes, access the computer or router", then next, it finds my wireless network with no trouble and I type in the required password and "next" - it then takes a while to go through it's "setting up printer on network" .... and then after a while, I get a "MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router" error.  There IS no MAC filtering.  I have "allow all" set on the router.  This shouldn't be an issue.   Has anyone else had this problem?  Is it just a thing with the newer modem/router combos and these older HP printers?  I tried to update the driver, but your website doesn't seem to be letting folks do that at the moment (some error you're fixing, it says?). If you have any suggestions on how I could get past this problem, I'd really appreciate it.  It's driving me NUTS.  Thanks!  All the best, -- Jodi

  • Trouble connecting to home wireless router

    I'm using a Belkin wireless router with security mode of WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK).
    My iPod touch 2G used to be able to connect to the wireless network, but it can't now. It gives me incorrect password message. Only thing I've done is update the software to 3.0.

    thank you SOOO much!!! I had been struggling for a couple of hours and this solved it all in under five minutes. it seems to be when you change from WEP (my old router) to WPA2 (new router) and not just 3.0. I have a Touch with 2.0 and it was the same story. thanks again!

  • Trouble connecting C4795 printer wirelessly

    Ok, so here it what I have:
    Photosmart C4795 printer
    Mac Mini w/ OS X 10.9.5
    Cisco DPC3825 router
    I have tried everything under the sun to connect this printer wirelessly to my computer to no avail.  I have searched the internet high and low for a solution, but have found nothing.  Please help me with this issue.

    Hello @Greentarpon,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are experiencing issues when trying to configure your HP Photosmart C4795 All-in-One Printer for wireless printing with your Mac OS X 10.9.5 computer. I would like to work with you today with resolving this network connectivity issue. Now, just so you are aware, HP actually doesn't have a downloadable Full Feature Software and Driver package available for your model of printer on the Mac OS X 10.9 Operating System due to the age of your printer. Therefore, we will be relying on your Apple Updates to load all the software and drivers onto your Mac computer for you printer. Also, because there is no HP downloadable Full Feature Software and Drivers there is no wireless setup for your Mac computer. Therefore, you have two options:
    Option 1: Use a supported Operating System to configure the wireless on your printer. Once the wireless is configured on your printer than you simply add (+) your wireless bonjour printer into your Mac OS X 10.9 computer.
    Supported Operating Systems include:
    Mac OS X 10.4, Mac OS X 10.5, Mac OS X 10.6, and Mac OS X 10.7
    Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1
    Option 2: Run the Push Button or Pin methods of configuring wireless. These options will only work if your router has this capability.
    How to Configure Wireless with Push Button Method:
    1. On the control panel Home screen, touch the button next to Scan.
    2. Touch the button next to Wireless Menu
    3. Touch the button next to WPS.
    4. Touch the button next to Push Button. The printer begins a timer that lasts approximately two minutes to allow time to press the WPS button on the router.
    5. Press the WPS button on the router. The printer connects to the network. 
    6. Touch OK on the printer control panel.
    How to Configure Wireless with Pin Method:
    1. On the control panel Home screen, touch the button next to Scan.
    2. Touch the button next to Wireless Menu.
    3. Touch the button next to WPS.
    4. Touch the button next to PIN. The PIN displays on the control panel. The printer begins a timer that lasts approximately two minutes to allow time to enter the WPS PIN.
    5. Enter the PIN on the router.
    6. Touch Start. The printer displays a PIN.
    7. Touch OK on the printer control panel.
    Once the printer and router are connected, by either the Push Button or Pin Methods, than you simply add (+) your wireless bonjour printer into your Mac.
    How to Install the software
    Click the Apple menu (), and then click System Preferences. The System Preferences window opens.
    Click Print & Scan. The Print & Scan window opens.
    Click the plus sign (). The name of your printer displays.
    Click Add Printer or Scanner.
    Select your printer, and then click Add.
    Click Install, and then click Agree on the software license agreement window to install the software and add the printer to the queue.
    After the installation process completes, verify that your printer displays in the queue.

    Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your connectivity issues. Should you prefer to run through Method 1 on a supported Operating System, please let me know what Operating System you have on the supported computer  (What's my OS?) and I will provide you with detailed wifi configuration instructions. Good luck!

  • Having trouble connecting to my wireless network

    Hi everyone, my iPad gen 3 can not connect to my wireless network. I have to unplug my router, and repower for it to connect. Even going into settings on the iPad, and putting in the password for the wireless connection, the iPad gives me an error message that the password is incorrect. I was thinking of updating to a new router. My current router is about 3 years old. I am also running Network Magic from Cisco. Can anyone give me any ideas for a solution to this problem? As always, thank you for your help.

  • TROUBLE CONNECTING XBOX 360 WIRELESSLY TO MAC AIRPORT EXTREME NETWORK

    Hi, and thanks for looking. Here are the facts in a nutshell.
    1. Xbox 360, set up for wireless connection.
    2. Wireless network, all apple equipment. Main Base station is the new Airport Extreme, hooked to a Cable Modem (Toshiba), with transmission via Comcast Internet.
    3. All wireless connections between Mac computers, and Dell PC's working flawlessly, including multiple printers.
    4.Cannot connect to XBox 360 because when attempting to wireless network not recognized. When editing Wireless connection, by manually typing in the Network Name, and the WPA password, still does not work.
    5. Incidentally, I have had this XBox connected before,until I purchased the new Airport Extreme Station (the rectangular one). What has changed? For one thing I added WPA security, and secondly, I got rid of a Netgear Router that I had been using for better distance, at the end of the Airport extreme chain. So the equipment is slightly different, and the security is definately different.
    So please, someone tell me what I must do to have the XBox connect to a Mac AEx Network, that has WPA security, and then, how do I get XBox to recognize a computer.
    Prior to this, without security, and with a netgear router as an ethernetted remote to an Airport Extreme, the XBox could get on the network, and see a Dell computer for programming. Now it can't do any of that. Sorry to be so long winded.
    I've tried everything including turning the firewall off the Dell. I even tried putting the Netgear back on the network by ethernet, which then allowed the 360 to log on wirelessly, but, still could not see the Dell, even with the firewall off. Thank you
    Several MACs (new, and 2yr old), Airport Extreme   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    You should really search for your question in the Airport forum found here <http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=140>. The forum you've posted in is dedicated to Macintosh and Windows compatibility issues. While XBox 360 and Windows are both Microsoft products they are not the same thing.
    I think you'll find that many folks with the new Airport Extreme base stations are having compatibility issues with many devices when trying to use any security. The best workarounds are to either hide the SSID and restrict access using the network hardware address while using no wireless security, plug the XBox 360 directly into the station with an Ethernet cable or not use the new Airport base station altogether.
    Good luck finding your answer! bill

  • Having trouble connecting Macbook to wireless FIOS

    I tried looking online and can't seem to find an answer that will fit my situation.  I don't have a Pro.  We recently got FIOS installed and have the Actiontech router.  I am able to connect other devices and computers to the wireless signal, but can't get my mac to work correctly.  It will recognize the router signal and say it is connected, but I can't get it to bring up the internet once it is connected.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I went in and changed the password to WPA as that is better and there were several people saying that should help it, of course after I posted this earlier today.  It still doesn't seem to want to work.  Any thoughts?
    yeah, Mac computers like WPA much better. So if your router is set with WPA and your still having an issue. Then it must be something else.
    Do you have other Wireless devices that work? If so, then it is something on the computer itself.
    If not, then try removing the wireless security (turn the wep/wpa off) and see if you can connect that way. If so, then it has something to do with the security on the wireless.
    If still having issues at this point, and you have no other wireless, then I would suspect the router. (try rebooting and resetting the router, always a good idea to try this) Then if still havng an issue, I'd see if I couldnt get Verizon to replace the router.

  • MacBook 10.6.7. is having trouble connecting to my wireless network.

    Hi all~
    I am basically having trouble with my wireless connection. I know I have  a functioning connection because my girlfriend is able to connect and surf just fine. However, I try to log on and get the usual error messages. I've tried the network diagnostic and the setup assistant to no avail. They tell me to contact my ISP, but my ISP can't find a problem. Any advice out there? Has my airport gone crazy....is this a hardware issue??
