HI Paco, a couple of things to try to start with...
Change the Channel on the Router.
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

My sons ipod touch has a lock with a arrow circle around it (next to the battery life) what does this mean

my sons ipod toucj has a lock with a circle arrow around it (next to the battery life) what does this mean?

that would be the rotation lock
it can be activated and deactivated by double clicking the home button (round button at the base of the ipod)
and if you swipe along the bottom from left to right
you should see the same symbol on the left.

I have a 6520 printer and i'm getting a connection server error 403

I have read previous posts and none of the suggestions have worked to fix my error 403, i dont know how to get the scan to email app, i have tried several tests and all come back working fine, i need to scan to email asap

Hello mksmjenn,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I am not sure which suggestions you have taken in an attempt to correct this 403 error on your Photosmart 6520. I do see that you have posted on another Thread regarding this, I was unable to find the correct link for the reset and can only assume that you connected the printer with a Manual I.P address and DNS.
I would like you to try the steps I have given here: Re: Trouble scanning using Photosmart 6520. If you have tried the 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 DNS, skip to the other DNS I suggested.
Let me know the out come of all the steps.
Cheers,
JERENDS

Follow the instructions very carefully.

Wifi is working and accessible on my IPad and IPhone but can not connect with another iPad. I've tried all the listed fixes, forget network reentering password. The iPad sees the network but the wheel keeps spinning. Help thanks.

Wifi working on 1 iPad and iPhone but not on another IPad (same model). All posted fixes tried with no help. The iPad recognizes the network but the wheel keeps spinning. Any help is greatly appreciated.

first step would be reboot
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1 the cure for most ios ills
then I would troubleshoot by taking it to another wifi network to see if it had problems in general with wifi
then if it did not then I would try to update the firmware of my wifi router for better compatability

Only 2 Wi-Fi bars when sitting right next to my router

It goes to 3 bars now and then for a minute but 90% of the time it's only at 2 bars. I'm sitting right next to the router also. My laptop picks up the signal with full bars. What could be the issue? It's an old linksys router, but if it works for my laptop it should give my iphone full connection. Thanks.

This could be my problem as well, as I am having the same issues with my router, works great with my iMac, my girlfriends dell laptop and the PS3, but the Iphone only gets its every once inawhile and only for about 1 min. I thought maybe it was a security issue, a iphone techie helped me upgrade the firmware, but still no luck. But honestly, I suppose if there are things I really truly want to have on my Iphone, it's as simple as putting them on my iMac and synching them.
Thanks for your insight!

My 5G has to be right next to the router to recieve WiFi connectivity.

Okay, so my iPod 5G has to be right next to the WiFi router for it to be able to connect to the WiFi network. If I move away from the router (even about 2 meters) my iPod loses range. Help.

If it does that with all networks then that indicates a hardware problem. Likely a loose/poor internal antenna connection.

Im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound unless i talk right next to the mic. how can i fix this

im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound unless I talk right next to the mic but it sounds low . how can i fix this

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Configuration of third-party router

Hello,
I'm trying to configure a router in place of my BT Home Hub. I am pretty sure it has to be PPPoE because it's ethernet out the back of the Home Hub. I tried what was posted on these forums, I used [email protected] with 'bt' as the password. However, the PPPoE connection just times out.
One place I saw said I needed to configure a VLAN of 101. No luck with or without a VPN.
All I ever get is a timeout. If I plug the ethernet from the modem back into the BT Home Router, it works fine, so I know my line works.
Some of the settings I can change in the third party router are:
PPPoE Username
PPPoE Password
MTU/MRU
VLAN (yes/no) and VLAN ID
Encryption (yes/no)
Mac Address (default or I can enter one)
Do I need to power cycle the VDSL modem and leave it off for a period of time to get it it to forget the BT Home Hub? I did try power cycling for maybe 5-10 seconds but to no avail.
In the PPP log, all I ever see is PPP Timeout.
Anyone have any idea how to get this working?

Connecting to third-party router, but unable to browse or e-mail

I am using an Airport Extreme card in my PowerBook G4 running firmware version 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18). Our office Wi-Fi access is through a third-party router. We used to use MAC address filtering, and I had no problem accessing the network.
Recently, for reasons unclear to me, our IT director ditched the MAC address filtering in favor of the WPA-personal standard. I was able to enter the encryption key and get connected to the network, but I wasn't able to get my browser to access the internet, nor send or receive e-mail traffic.
Our IT folks temporarily disabled all security and restarted the wireless router, but I was still only able to connect to the router, and not use my browser or e-mail, so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the use of WPA per se. I tried temporarily turning off my own firewall, too, but the problem remained.
Oddly, I can open up the Terminal and Ping successfully to an outside address -- only http and e-mail traffic seems to be blocked. The Windows-based PCs seem to be able to connect to the wireless network and use their browsers to access the internet without any problem. Any thoughts as to what else I might try, or have the IT administrators try, to resolve the problem?
Thanks,
Sid

Hello kilgores. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Something to ask your IT staff is if they use a proxy server for Internet access. If so, do they require proxy configuration scripts (.pac) to provide access to the Internet through your company's firewall. This information would normally be added to your browser's settings.

HomeHub2 as Modem with Third Party Router, Securit...

okay i've configured my Homehub to be set as a Router and conencted a Belkin G Plus Mimo router as the third party router, connection and everything is fine but theres on problem...
security, there is no scurity protecting my wireless network which means everyone can access my network which is bad.
when i try accessing the third party router (belkin router) i'm forwarded to the BT home hub control panel page...
any help? i need protection on my wireless!
Kind Regards, Bert

Hi Bert,
What you will need to do is manually change your Network Adaptor to an address in the 192.168.2.2-255 range. Set the gateway to 192.168.2.1 and try and access your third party router again. Then enable the DHCP Server on the LAN interface of your Belkin router.
Don't forget that you have to be connecting through your Belkin router in order to use it properly like Computer - Belkin - Homehub, not Computer - Hub - Belkin otherwise it will just ignore the additional router (Belkin).
You will also need to add a Static Route on the Belkin and set the Destination network to 192.168.1.0/24 and set the gateway to 192.168.1.254 in order to access the internet and Homehub. This will need to be set on the WAN interface.
I hope this helps.

Pairing AX with Third Party Router

Hi,
I try to set a network by connecting AX with thrid party WiFi router (to create a router network). I can not manage to pair it as I wish, but I am aware that not all Third party router are able to connect with Airports and WDS.
I try to pair with a Sitecom (WL-026)
Do someone knows about AX -3rd Party comaptibility?
Thanks
Yann

Since I'm not at home, I can't go into my AX config right now. However, is what you're suggesting quite easy (i.e., setting up my AX to connect to my NON-WDS supporting 3rd party P.O.C. router's network)?
I am currently doing it the brute force way: two separate networks, one (3rd party) connected to the world, one (AX) connected to the stereo. This is all well and good except that I have no internet connectivity when I'm using the stereo. OK... not so well and good.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Connecting the WAP to a Third Party Router

Is it possible to connect the wireless access point for the set top boxes behind a third party router?

Generally will say NO per ATT info. One user posted he got it working, he knew what he was doing. There are certain attributes that have to be on the router for it to work. 802.1p and IGMP snooping were needed on the 3rd party router.
