Unable to Find Address Without Wireless Network Co...

Nokia Maps v.2 on my phone attempts to search for an address on-line every time I enter a destination point. 99% of time it works great but only when I have wireless network coverage (I am using AT&T Wireless). However, we just went to Maine, where ATT's wireless coverage stinks. In the area where we had no wireless coverage the phone was attempting to find the address on-line and after a minute or so would return a message "unable to find the address."
Since I had Maine maps downloaded on the phone, how do I get the phone to use the databased stored on the phone instead?

Yup, an IP of 169.254....is self-assigned when it cannot get one from the router.  The WPS button does not reset the router.
Do this on the printer:   Setup > Network > Wireless Setup WIzard. Follow the instructions.

  • AirPort utility unable to find any AirPort wireless devices

    Hi All,
    I have an issue I have no idea how to resolve. I recently purchased a 2TB Time capsule and after a few teething issues have had it working as both router and external storage. I have spent the last 2 weeks transferring all my media to this for central access from all networked computers.
    Its been running fine the whole time until today. For some reason my internet connection was dropped. I turned off the TC and my Modem, and then restarted in the right order.
    WiFi connection is Excellent. I can connect to my mapped TC drive, but I cannot connect to either the internet (my network is now only allowing 'Local Connection') and the Airport utility is unable to find any Airport wireless devices. I was hoping i'd be able to see an issue through the utility but it cant even recognise the device!
    I am yet to do a hard re-set of the TC as I want to avoid having to go through the network set up again and I assume this is the information that is lost? I'm also concerned I will lose the content of the TC and i really dont have the time or the patience to go through that exercise again.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Thanks for the quick response!
    My Modem is not the issue in this case as I have already connected via network cable directly to it and am using it to connect to the internet now.
    I had issues with IP conflict etc when setting up the network and suspect something similar this time, except I cant even open the TC to check the set up as AirPort utilities cant see it.
    I think I have the TC doing the routing as all periphrals attached to the network were getting a 10.0.1.x  IP address, but I have to confess this is not my forte and neither is pinging things as I dont understand any of the information that comes back!
    I assume the hard re-set option is a last resort? I'm tempted to just do it as I cant see I'll be any worse off than now... but I'll hold off and do the proper diagnosis.
    Unfortunately I'm away for the next 2 days so wont get this resolved before then... I have the internet hard wired so that will keep the wife happy... but i will look into this further and report back with more details on my return.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • Netsh does not work to set IP address of "Wireless Network Connection"

    On Windows 7 Professional
    This set of commands work for configuring the "Local Area Connection"
    netsh interface ip set address name="local area connection" static 74.94.87.157 255.255.255.248 74.94.87.158 1
    netsh interface ip set dns name="local area connection" static 8.8.8.8
    netsh interface ip add dns name="local area connection" 68.87.77.130 index=2
    BUT for the WiFi connection, this command errors with this message "ELEMENT NOT FOUND"
    netsh interface ip set address name="Wireless Network Connection" static 74.94.87.157 255.255.255.248 74.94.87.158 1
    BUT the 2 following dns commands DO work for the Wifi Connection.
    netsh interface ip set dns name="Wireless Network Connection" static 8.8.8.8
    netsh interface ip add dns name="Wireless Network Connection" 68.87.77.130 index=2

    I FOUND A SOLUTION
    I manually renamed the interface from "Wireless Network Connection" to "Wifi"
    Then when I use "WiFi" in the command line, I no longer get the
    ELEMENT NOT FOUND error.
    I have no idea why renaming the interface works . . as shown on original post above, "set dns name" command worked without the name change, but the "IP set Address" did not work.
    Anybody know what this is about ?

  • Macbook air is unable to connect on hidden wireless network

    Dear users and support,
    I have just bought my macbook air with lion os already installed, but I am unable to connect to hidden wireless network. Is there any trick to fix it? even though I am typing the name and password it's unable to login.
    Please advice.
    tks,

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article.  
    Step 2
    If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 3
    This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Reset the System Management Controller.

  • Airport utility was unable to find any airport wireless device

    Installed Airport Extreme connected to my PC running XP Pro. Configured my wireless network successfully. Updated to Aiport Utility for Windows ver 5.5.2 and the Airport Utility shows the 'unable to find an Airport wireless device' message and the 'Rescan' button. I uninstalled the upgraded Utility software, unplugged the Airport Extreme, installed the original software from the supplied disc, held down the reset button while plugging the power back in and waited till I got the amber/green fast flashing lights at which time I released the reset button.  No change. Then upgraded the Airport Utility back to 5.5.2 and still no change.  I can connect to the web from my PC and to an open wireless network named Apple Network f9561d.
    Any help getting access to my Airport Extreme greatly appreciated. Thx

    PC was/is always directly connected to Airport Extreme via ethernet. Windows XP Pro firewall always has been disabled (double checked). No firewall software.  Disabled PC Tools malware protector.  No virus protection or scanning software.
    Only things showing in toolbar are NVidia Settings, Windows Volume Control, Network Connection icon,Safely Remove Hardware Icon and the time.
    Don't have anything running that would block any ports.
    Airport Utility for Windows is version 5.5.2.
    Did another factory(?) reset as described before and pressed 'Rescan' button 15 times with no change. Devices connected via wireless are Nexus smartphone & HP laptop running Vista. All can access Internet, but slowly.
    Tried rebooting PC several times with no difference. Tried plugging the PC ethernet cable into different ports in the Airport Extreme before I realized that I could always access the Internet from the PC so I was wasting my time : )
    Tonite I unhooked my DLink wireless router, hooked up the Airport Extreme, installed the software, configured the network (perfectly) and then checked for and installed the
    Airport Utility software upgrade (no others). As soon as it finished installing, I ran it and ended up with the error. I didn't install anything else or even run any other software. I saved the configuration, checked for and installed the upgrade.  I haven't changed ANY settings on the PC or run any software other than Firefox to create my Apple account to report this problem.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

  • Trying to set up time capsule but keep getting message stating airport utility was unable to find any airport wireless device. What do I do know?

    Trying to set up my time capsule on my imac.
    Keep getting message "Airport utility was unable to find any airport wireless devices."
    What do I do now?
    joglenn

    When having difficulties accessing the Time Capsule (TC) via the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
    Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the TC wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the TC's LAN ports.
    Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
    Perform a "factory default" reset on the base station.
    Finally, if you are attempting to access the TC via an Ethernet connection, be sure that your Ethernet port is NOT configured for Jumbo Frames, i.e., using an MTU of 9000+.

  • "Airport Utility was unable to find your airport wireless device"

    I recently bought an Airport Extreme to replace a D-Link DGL4300. My network is as follows: DSL > Modem > Airport Extreme > Ethernet and Wireless clients (wireless clients include my iMac and my wife's MacBook). This worked fine for about 2 weeks, until my wife's MacBook started having connectivity issues. I did a soft reset on the Airport Extreme, and . . . poof. No internet for anyone. I did a hard reset and used the saved profile that had previously worked (for at least my computer), and after the Airport Extreme restarted, I received the dreaded "Airport Utility was unable to find your airport wireless device". I have repeated this cycle several times with complete power-downs of the modem, the Airport Extreme and all clients, with no change in result.
    What's odd is that even though Airport Utility can't find the Airport Extreme, my home network works fine (i.e., all clients can talk to an internal media server and each other), but there is no internet at all. Any ideas?

    Until you can complete the configuration process, try connecting your Mac to the AirPort Extreme with an Ethernet cable to see if that allows AirPort Utility to see the Extreme.

  • I am unable to join my existing wireless network with new AirPort Express

    I am unable to join my existing wireless network with new AirPort Express.
    I am using a DLink DI-524 Router, Windows 7 (64), and the AirPort Express.
    AirPort Utility will not recognize the AEX wirelessly, it will only recognize it when it is connected by Ethernet. I can then configure the AEX and verify that the settings stick once disconnected and then reconnected. However, even after that, it will not recognize the AEX once disconnected from the Ethernet cable.
    I followed the suggestions of several other threads on these forums. But I am unable to get the AEX to work.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    It's almost always a security setting that causes problems when the Airport Express (AX) tries to join a third party wireless network. The AX usually does not "join" correctly and that's why you can't see it on your wireless network using AirPort Utility.
    Using an ethernet cable is still the more reliable way to configure and adjust the AX, but if you are want to try to configure it using wireless, you must return the AX back to factory defaults as follows:
    Power down the AX
    Hold in the reset button +and keep holding it in+ as you plug the AX back in to power
    Release the reset button after 10 seconds
    When it is set to factory defaults, the AX broadcasts a wireless signal with a network name like "apple network xxxxxx" where the "x's" are either letters or numbers. You must look for this network by clicking on the fan shaped Airport icon at the top of the screen. If you don't see this network, then click Join Other Network to search that way. Unless you connect to this network, you will not be able to configure the AX using wireless.
    Do you know the exact security type that your D-Link router is using? That is the key element in the process.
    Open AirPort utility, click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab to establish a name for the AX, device password and adjust time zone settings
    Click the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode....Join a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name...must exactly match your D-Link wireless network name
    Enable ethernet clients if you want the port to be active (your D-Link must be compatible with ProxySTA for this to work)
    Wireless Security...exact setting of the D-Link network. WEP security causes a lot of issues. Try to use WPA/WPA2 Personal, which is far more secure.
    Wireless Password...must match the D-Link network
    Click the Music icon to enable AirTunes
    Click Update to save settings
    Any luck?

  • I'm unable to connect to my wireless network

    I am unable to connect to my wireless network on my iphone 4.  It worked previously. My husband has no problem with his iphone connecting.

    Same here. Upgraded 2 separate iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and now both get an error that say "incorrect password" when trying to connect. iPad 1 upgraded to iOS5 and all 3 macs connect fine using same password. (Router is Apple Airport base station running 7.5.2)

  • My Windows Vista Computer is unable to find any AirPort wireless devices

    My Windows Vista computer is unable to find any AirPort wireless devices.   I just set this up using another (different) computer and it works fine on that one...

    Per chance was the other computer that was able to "find" the AirPort base station another Win Vista device or another using another OS?

  • Airport Utility unable to find any Airport wireless devices (specifically Time Capsule)

    I have a (2007) MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.8, Airport Utility 5.5.3, and (2011) Time Capsule 7.6. The time capsule is not set up as a wireless station, it only connects to my exisiting wireless network to be used as a backup device with time machine. When I try to scan for wireless devices, the airport utility finds none even though the TC is on and the light is green. My other MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.8 is able to find the TC and run backups just fine - both are on the same wireless network with the same default wireless settings in network preferences. I've looked at about every similar thread in these support forums and tried numerous suggestions, none of which have resolved my issue. I have called Apple tech support, and the only suggestion they gave me was to set up a new network location with default settings - this worked when they gave me the suggestion, and I used it every time airport would lose connection to the TC; however, it no longer works for some reason. Here are some additional details:
    This laptop has connected to the TC and made backups in the past. Every time I've established a connection, it has remained for a period of time (usually about a day), then would randomly drop and not be able to find the TC again. I was previously able to work around this by rebooting everything and setting up a new default network profile on my laptop, per Apple tech support suggestion.
    Suddenly, the previously successful "reboot everything/create new network location" quick fix doesn't work anymore. I've checked all of my router settings, and nothing seems odd - all pretty standard settings. I don't advertise my SSID for security reasons, but the TC is set up to manually connect to the correct SSID, and it's clearly working fine on the other laptop.
    My network preferences are also all standard. TCP/IP is using DHCP with an automatically assigned address. IPv6 is off. DNS servers are the same on all devices. I've tried renewing the DHCP lease many times, but that has no impact.
    In airport utility, when I select File>Configure Other and enter the address/password for the TC, it connects to it just fine - I can see and configure all of the settings on the time capsule. Still, it will not find it when scanning for devices and will not make backups with time machine.
    Incidentally, the same thing happens with my wireless printer and this laptop - will randomly lose connection and be unable to print even though the other laptop can print just fine. This leads me to believe it is a problem with the laptop and not the TC or router.
    Desperate to find a solution.
    Thanks

    Connect to TC by ethernet from any computer. Reset to defaults. ie hold in reset and wait until led flashes rapidly.. about 10sec.
    Then redo the setup. Use manual wireless settings.. set a different name to 5ghz.. so bands cannot swap at the client end. Set channels manually not auto.. pick the clearest ones for your area.. you can just trial and error it using channels 1, 6 and 11 or download a utility for the Mac to scan wireless usage.. !

  • Unable to connect to home wireless network with my iPod touch

    I've had my iTouch for several months now and I'm still not able to connect to my wireless network at home. I've tried the resets and other suggestions I've found in the discussion groups but nothing has worked.
    I have an older Netgear Router MR814v2 and it is unsecured. It is attached to my old desktop, HP Pavilion running Windows ME, which is not able to run the itunes software. My HP laptop is where my iTouch and iTunes software is installed.
    The iTouch displays my network with good signal strength, but when I try to connect I get the "unable to join the network "NETGEAR".
    Going to my router, it does not recognize my iTouch as an attached device. Why is that and what am I missing?
    Thank you for all suggestions and your help.

    I tried powering down the router. When it's off the iTouch does not recognize the network and then when it's powered on again, the iTouch recognizes the network. Unlike the public wi-fi spots that my iTouch responds to, where all the info like IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS etc are populated in the settings...my iTouch does not populate these fields at home even though it recognizes the network. I still get the unable to connect to network error. Could it be that my router is antiquated and can not support the iTouch? Like I said earlier, my Router does not recognize the iTouch as being attached to it.

  • Macbooks unable to get DHCP from Wireless Network

    Our PC Laptops can connect to our Cisco Wireless Network (using wireless controllers and lightweight AP's) without issue.
    However Macbooks and several other devices are able to connect and get an IP address via DHCP.  If I manually put an IP in the Macbooks wireless configuration it can connect without issue, if I don't do this the Macbooks timeout and say using self assigned ip address and will not get on the network. 
    Any thoughts on what is causing this and how to fix?

    Make sure you don't have client load balancing enabled on the WLAN advanced tab.

  • AirPort Utility was unable to find your Apple wireless device after restart

    I keep getting this message when I try to setup my time capsule.
    "The settings for this Apple wireless device have been successfully updated, but there was a problem re-joining the wireless network or finding the Apple wireless device. You may need to select your network from the AirPort menu and try again."
    After this message, the time capsule cannot be seen in the airport utilities at all either, and requires a reset before it becomes visible again. I've tried renaming the network and the time capsule itself to shorter names without punctuation as I'd read sometimes helps, but it doesn't seem to work. I don't have an internet connection set up yet, but that shouldn't be a problem, as I've selected not to connect to the internet for now, and am just wanting to back up my computer for the moment. What is happening here?

    Until you can complete the Time Capsule configuration process, I recommend that you connect it to your Mac with an Ethernet cable instead of depending on a Wi-Fi connection. That would make a lot of sense given the rest of your situation, as it would make your backup process a lot faster.
