  • Laptop can't connect to Internet with new WRT600N

    I just purchased the WRT600N wireless router and companion wireless adapter card for my laptop. The laptop already has a built-in wireless card. I am able to connect to the Internet when the laptop is wired to the router but can only seem to connect occasionally via the wireless connection. Do I need to disable the built-in wireless card on the laptop...could that be causing problems? Any other ideas why this is happening? I have read a few things online about not using the Easylink Advisor to connect which is what I was doing.

  • Vista laptop can't connect to Internet via Time Capsule

    I just setup my brand new 1TB Time Capsule and everything works perfectly with my iMac. Backups work and I can connect to the Internet fine. I'm using the TC as my network router, so everything will connect through the TC. My one-year old Compaq Vista laptop can connect to the Internet if the wireless security is turned off, but once I turn it on..no Internet for the laptop. It can connect and see the network, but can't get to the Internet. I've reset the TC several times trying various setting combinations and I've went through the laptop and tried to update Windows and any drivers that I thought might help, but nothing.
    I have the following Wireless settings on the TIme Capsule:
    - radio mode set to Auto
    - radio channel selection set to Auto
    - wireless security set to WPA/WPA2 Personal
    Am I missing something? I can't figure if this is a settings issue, laptop issue, or a Time Capsule issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Windows Vista and Windows 7 cannot see Time Capsule drive

    This might be your security settings. Open the Local Security Policy utility:
    %windir%\system32\secpol.msc /s
    Navigate to Local Policies folder, Security Options view. Find “Network security: LAN Manager authentication level”. If it is set to “Send NTLMv2 response only” change it to “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”.
    ONE PROBLEM THOUGH. I believe ONLY PROFESSIONAL versions of windows have the local policies acceptable.

  • Can't connect to internet with new wireless n "Extreme" modem

    I've had a D-Link DI-604 router for about 4 years-- and wanted to go wireless with an Apple Extreme but first have borrowed my neighbor's D-Link DIR-635 to just see if this will work in my brick house etc. (3 stories, lots of cement and brick...)
    Well I get as far as the 192.168.0.1 and then "clone" my MAC address (nothing to do with a Macintosh that...). Note: I was using the same computer to connect to the internet as I previously had used with the D-Link DI-604.
    I also give a manual (easy-to-remember) 5-letter password to my wireless connection--
    But although this "reboots" the modem, it does NOT let me connect to the internet...
    So I'm back to my D-Link 604 cable (wired) only...
    One thing the set-up asked for is my HOST name. The only thing I see in the Network System Preferences is an ethernet number: 00:16:cb:cd:6c:3e but I don't find a "HOST" name-- and is that really needed? (In Belgium I'm using an ISP provider "VOO")
    Any comments really appreciated-- I could actually see a fairly strong signal from the wireless router (I named it "SteveHermee" and I could see strong bands even from the top floor, with router in the basement...)-- but I could never connect to the internet via CABLE (wired) or wireless.
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • Can't connect to Internet with new W520

    I have a new ThinkPad W520 (4270).  My ISP is RoadRunner from Time Warner Cable.  The modem is Ubee U10C018.  I am trying to make a direct wired connection using the USB option.  I installed the drivers from the supplied disc, the message says they're installed, but the Device Manager says the USB Cable Modem has no installed drivers.  I tried downloading the driver from the UbeeInteractive web site onto a flash drive using my old computer, which works fine with the aforementioned modem (and which I'm using now to post).  I then reinstalled the driver from the flash drive onto the W520.  Again, the message said the driver had been successfully installed, but the Device Manager says the modem has no installed driver (and "Update Driver" is greyed out).  I spent two hours troubleshooting on the phone with TWC, who then said it wasn't their problem.
    Help, anyone?  Thanks for listening.
    Solved!

    Hi SSDee,
    I wanted to use the USB connection for a couple of reasons: 1) No Ethernet cable was supplied with the modem, and 2) I have the modem connected to a USB hub and want to be able to quickly switch between two different laptops using the one USB cable to the hub, which also has a printer and a mouse receiver attached.  (I did try connecting the modem directly to the new laptop without the hub just in case there was a problem with the hub, but that didn't work, either.  It seems clear that this is a driver issue, since everything works fine on the older laptop.)
    I am frustrated that no 64-bit drivers seem to be available, and the old drivers say they've been installed, but Device Manager begs to differ...
    However, I think at this point I will obtain an Ethernet cable and try it.
    Thanks for the response.

  • Curve 8520 can't connect to internet with new provider

    I bought an 8520 in Egypt a few weeks ago and used all internet services successfully with a provider there (Mobinil).
    I had the PIN freed by Mobinil so I could register it with O2 in the UK, but I'm unable to access internet services although I'm on the correct data plan and my PIN is free to register. The handset works fine for calls and SMS via O2.
    O2 say there is nothing they can do as it's not their handset -- does anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

    under Options go to Advanced Options, select TCP/IP and punch in blakcberry.net on your APN, leave the username and password unmarked. Then restart your phone. you will be good to go

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

  • Time Capsule not connecting to WEP printer.  Time Capsule set up for WPA2.  Can I use both standards with one Time Capsule?

    How do I get a WEP printer to connect wirlessly to the new Time Capsule set for WPA2?  High security is needed do to large Apt Complex.

    Actually, you can but it would require that you reconfigure the Time Capsule (TC) for "WEP (Transitional Security Network)." This Wireless Security option allows for both WEP and WPA clients to connect ... BUT does NOT support the AES/CCMP encryption protocol introduced by WPA2. Note: The WPA2 standard supports both the TKIP (used in WPA & WEP) and AES/CCMP (used only in WPA2) encryption protocols.
    If you require the stronger AES protocol, WEP clients or WPA clients that only support TKIP will not be able to connect.

  • Can I use RAID 1 with a Time Capsule?

    Can I use RAID 1 with a Time Capsule?
    And if yes, how do I do so?

    Don't think that the firmware on the Time Capsule will support a RAID device at the USB port on the Time Capsule, if that is what you are planning to do.
    Even if it might, the connection will be about half the speed of USB on your computer. Better to connect the RAID to your computer and back up that way.
    If you plan to back up using Time Machine, check with the RAID manufacturer to see if that might be supported with the device.

  • Time machine not connecting with new time capsule

    Will someone please help? I have just recently joined the MAC family and purchased a new Macbook along with a new time capsule. It took unbelievably long to get things running (ie wireless access with 2 other PC based desktops and a PC laptop and shared network printing with an USB connected printer to the time capsule)- I thought macs were supposed to be easy?! Anyways, the only thing that I cannot figure out is how to properly set up time machine. I follow the instructions and turn time machine on, choose my backup disc (which is the time capsule), but when I click "use for backup", I keep getting the "connection failed- server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again" What am I supposed to do now? What is there to check when all of the other computers are able to access the internet (including the Macbook) and wirelessly print. The stupid timecapsule router function is working but the backup portion of it is not???!!!! Please help someone who is about to give the mac and the time capsule to the first person walking down the street - it has been a frustrating 2 days.

    First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click
              Renew DHCP lease.
    Try again to back up.
    If you still can't, open the Time Machine preference pane and delete the TC from the list of backup destinations. You may have to unlock the settings by clicking the lock icon in order to do this. Then add it back.

  • WiFi no longer working with new Time Capsule-can you help please?

    Hi all,
    Just received my new Time Capsule (TC). It was a little problematic setting up, but probably due to my now choosing to increase my security from WEP to WPA as the TC set-up assistant suggests. Since then, I have had numerous problems getting my other computers and now my iPhone to connect with WiFi.
    The problem is that despite entering all the new settings and WPA passwords for my connection with the TC, the iPhone will either momentarily recognize and go to wifi or simply stay on Edge.
    On the former, with wifi active, as soon as I go to iTunes, Safari or check email, it reverts to Edge. On the latter, despite resetting, entering password, or tapping Settings and selecting my wifi connection, it will NOT connect and stays on Edge.
    (Now, I'm on Edge! I'm bummed that with new hardware I have new problems that didn't exist before!)
    Can someone who had this same problem tell me how they resolved it.
    Here's the one clue I have, but would rather not resort to: When I first set up the TC, I had it on WEP with a WDS Network, and everything was working great and FAST! Now that I have increased the security—I will be backing up 3 computers to the TC—my iPhone and other computers seem to have intermittent or no wifi connection as a result.)

    Irving Gonzales,
    If your computers are 802.11N capable, you might want to try an advanced setup that might help your Time Machine speeds some. I have not personally tested it, so it is just a personal theory at this point.
    First, in a mixed environment the 802.11N clients all get slowed down.
    First, configure the TC for 802.11N only.
    Second, connect the Airport Express via ethernet to the Time Capsule
    Third, configure the Airport Express for bridged mode (doesn't give out IP addresses), and for its own wireless network with a different name than the Time Capsule.
    Have any 802.11b/g clients like the iPhone join the Airport Express' network.
    Thank you,
    Nathan C.

  • Can't connect iBook (802.11b) to Time Capsule wirelessly

    Hey:
    Just got my new Time Capsule--so far it's very cool; set-up was easy, my backup is progressing, and network set-up went well.
    Only problem is connecting my iBook to it wirelessly. I've had no problems connecting my MacBook or Windows laptop; both use 802.11g.
    I can see the network in the menu bar and in Network control panel; the authentication is set to WPA Personal by default. I'm entering the same password I used on my MacBook and Windows laptop, but I get the error:
    "There was an error joining the AirPort network "<network name>."
    I've tried setting it to WPA Personal and WPA 2 Personal, but no luck.
    Any clues?
    Thx!
    -m-

    Okay this is where I am at so far.
    Time Capsule - wpa personal - sharing IP address:
    Working - PowerBook, daughters old iBook, hubby windows xp laptop, wii, ps3, iPod touch
    Not working - iMac, xbox360
    The iMac doesn't bother me that much because its the first generation flat panel and its slow but I use it for an animal rescue I volunteer for and my banking, so its kind of a good excuse to finally get a new iMac.
    The xbox360 however is annoying me BIG TIME. And I don't think its time capsule. I googled high and low all afternoon and night and from what I can figure out it will only take succesful wpa or wep settings from a router other than anthing not apple. And I am not going back to a non secure hidden network like I was before.
    So tonight the next step is moving my cable modem and time capsule downstairs to the xbox and plugging the xbox directly into an Ethernet port.
    I will post tomorrow if that worked.

  • Can I connect my iTouch to the Time Capsule?

    I am hoping to connect my iTouch to my Time Capsule, so the iTouch will sync with iTunes via the network.  Is this possible?  I have attached the iTouch to the Time Capsule USB port, but when I open iTunes, my iTouch does not appear.
    I contacted Apple Support a few weeks ago about this.  The suprisingly unhelpful fellow said that it was not a Time Capsule issue and that if I wanted help, he could redirect me to the iTouch support contingent.  If he transferred me, though, he warned, I would have to pay a fee because my iTouch was more than 90 days old.
    Honestly, I was miffed!  I would think Apple Support would help me connect other Apple peripherals to an Apple peripheral, for the Time Capsule is only 1 month old and eligible for free support.
    But enough ranting, any advice?

    There are so many ideals in our worlds, aren't there?
    Another question you could perhaps help me with.  I am using my TC as an external hard disk as well.  I will want to purchase another hard disk to back up the data on the TC.  A 500 GB disk will do.  Should I get one with an external power source?  Or a plug-and-play?
    I tried to do this with an older hard disk drive, but the TC would not recognize it.  I was able to do a back-up by connecting the TC by ethernet cable to the computer and the hard drive by USB to the computer.  But I'd like to get a drive that the TC will recognize and use CCCloner to back up automatically my files on the TC to an external hard drive.  I would like to connect the hard disk directly to the TC via an ethernet port or the ideally-and-sensically-free USB port.
    As a test, I just plugged a USB key into the TC, but the TC does not recognize it.  When I plug it into the MacBook, the MacBook does recognize it.  It is formatted as FAT32.  I am nervous about purchasing a disk that the TC won't recognize. 
    Thanks again for your help!

  • Weird PPPoE problem with new Time Capsule

    OK, so this is a long and tedious saga, but I don't know what details are important and what are irrelevant.
    I had an old AirPort Extreme which was giving me problems. I could connect to the internet fine when I connected my MacBook directly to the DSL modem via the Ethernet cable, but when the same cable was plugged into my old AirPort it thought that there was no Ethernet cable connected to the WAN port. The AirPort was over five years old, so I figured that it was just past its time, and I kinda wanted a Time Capsule anyway for wireless backup, so I went to the Apple Store and bought one today.
    I just tried to set it up, and AirPort Utility is telling me, "This Apple wireless device is set up to connect to the Internet using PPPoE but no PPPoE server can be found. Make sure your Internet service provider requires that you use PPPoE, and make sure that the modem is turned on and connected to this Apple wireless device's WAN port and try again. If you still can't connect to the server, contact your service provider."
    Well, I did contact my ISP (AT&T Yahoo!), and they said that if I can connect directly via Ethernet, the problem has to be with the Time Capsule or its settings, so they can't help me. I've tried power cycling the DSL modem and Time Capsule, and I keep getting the same problem. Does anyone have a clue what might be going on? (I'll probably call AppleCare when they're open, but I thought someone here might be able to shed some light on the situation.)
    Thanks!

    I had a similar problem (to name one) and couldn't resolve it... I packed it back up and am returning it tomorrow.
    All these people have all these solutions but none of them should have to do any of it! That is the biggest problem I have with the TC. They give you a small little guide to set everything up and it doesn't deal with any of this. With networks and computers as they are right now.... you should not have to do any of this at all. You should be able to plug it in, answer a few easy to answer questions like it does ask and then it should configure itself just as any other network device I have purchased in the last 2 years. Even my PS3 I bought last week did it by itself by only asking a few questions! (Same as my macbook... so you know they can do it)
    Now.. say you do get it all set up and it works great... hope you don't have kids that like to play their XBox 360 online because guess what.... it isn't compatible with the TC wireless!!! If you want to use your PS3.... you have to buy more stuff.
    No.... do yourself a favor... go buy the D-Link DIR-655 that has a USB storage link... hook it up and be in business in 10 minutes. You can also get a 1TB WD external hard drive for $209.00 and hook it up direct to your mac and use time machine and transfer files faster than a mule walking up hill.
