WEP encryption failure on D-Link 614+ wireless router after 1.1.1 update

My iPhone was connecting to the Internet via WiFi with a D-Link 614+ wireless router, and with 128-bit WEP encryption on, before I updated the iPhone to 1.1.1. Since that update, connectivity through the D-Link router requires that WEP be disabled. All other features seem to be compatible, including a static IP address and a static DNS address. No amount of network resetting and WiFi network forgetting helps. Apple Technical Support said that 128-bit WEP has been found mostly compatible, but it tends to be incompatible when the router's firmware has not been recently updated. This router's latest firmware is from 2005 (though the manufacturer dates it 2006), and the manufacturer has issued an end-of-life notice on it. My conclusion is that the router is obsolete if an iPhone is to be used with it. I have ordered an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station, so if anything goes wrong there's no doubt about which company is responsible. Meanwhile, I have turned off router encryption and turned on MAC filtering so only our own devices can use the router. Has anybody found that WEP encryption on this router actually works on the iPhone post-1.1.1?

Shortly after posting, it occurred to me to search for "614". I found some other people's solutions for this router that involved disabling 4x mode and enabling the long preamble in the D-LINK UI (Advanced > Performance):

Doing this caused my packet loss issue to go away, but now my connection is extremely sluggish and browsing is even slower than before.
I'll keep tweaking settings to see if I can improve things.

  • Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit)

    I can't reinstall Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit).  When I went to Linksys site for solution for new drivers, it asked me for Hardware Version Number.  This model doesn't show one.  Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Sabertooth is right. If you are able to go online from your Router then you don't need to install LELA software on your Computer.

  • Connecting to internet via D-Link airplus wireless router?

    Hi there,
    I bought a macbook pro 17inch yesterday and love it! However, I've tried to set up wireless connection to the home network, which is a D-link wireless router "Airplus G+ 2.4GHZ wireless VPN router"
    How do I go about this with the inbuilt wireless options of the macbook?
    I am waiting on an airport express which came free with apple care, but that could be a couple of weeks away and I'd like internet connection via my mac before that
    Any ideas on what I should be doing, information I might need to get for the router etc?
    BTW - It's secured with a password which I have.

    OK, open System Preferences/Network
    Location: [New Location] and give it a name
    Show: [Network Port Configurations] drag Airport to the top and uncheck all others
    Show: [Airport]
    Airport tab - set [By default join] to Preferred networks
    In the pop-down select the D-Link network (and remove any others if there)
    TCP/IP tab - set [Configure ipV4] to Using DHCP
    Click [Apply Now] bottom right
    You should get an IP number allocated by the router ...

  • Airport Express with D-link 624+ wireless router.

    Have got a D-link wireless router connected. Wireless internet works fine on its own, but I cannot connect the apple airport express to the wireless internet, so I have to keep switching connections and am unable to use the internet at the same time as streming music to my stereo....what am I doing wrong?
    please help me. I thought I knew computer gear, but was SOOOO wrong.

    I had a DL 624+ (and have since abandoned it). I had a lot of instability problems with it, which seemed to be related to the Dlink DHCP implementation. I was watching the log on the router, and I was seeing the dlink constantly re-issuing DHCP addresses to the macs on the network - it would renew the addresses twice a minute.
    I had seen some posts which suggested that there were problems with either long DHPC client names, or client names which had non-alphanumeric characters in them. (Note if your machine name has spaces, this could happen.)
    So, you might want to try:
    -Assigning static IP addresses and see if the problem goes away
    -checking your DHCP client names to make sure they are between 8-12 characters
    Hope this helps!

  • No automatic connection to a wireless router after startup!

    After adding a new wireless router to my home network an iMac G5 does not automatically connect to the wireless network after startup.
    And so the story began: I'm running a wireless network for years without problems at my home. The wireless router is a Orinoco 102.11b with 128-Bit WEP encryption and I have 4 different Mac connected to it.
    Because I wanted to use the higher 54 MBit/s speed and a more secure encryption for my network I've installed a LINKSYS wireless router and configured it for 102.11g and WPA2.
    Everything worked fine except the automatic connection after restart on my iMac G5 running Mac OS 10.4.10. I can connect to the new wireless router but I have to do it manually after each restart. The password is therefore stored in the login keychain. The connection can be established automatically after sleep but not after startup...
    So I switchted the connection back to the old router and got unfortunately the same behaviour. The iMac does not connect any more automatically to the router after startup. I removed the new router from the network, deleted all wireless passwords from the system and login keychains, created new keychains, switched back and forth the preferred vs. automatic network selection, created new locations, changed the root password and so on...
    It seems that the new password entry in the system keychain causes an error in the password encryption of the system keychain which prevents the automatic connection to the network after startup. Replacing the keychains from my backup does not work either after I've once created a the system keychain.
    Is there any log file, which may proof my assumption or can give me some more information of the erroneous login process to the wireless network during startup.

    One thing that can work, try this, *please ignore the exact symptoms and connection and Hardware types*, it's worked for many others than the stated...

  • Unable to connect to wireless network after 10.4.8 update

    Hi Guys,
    I use Macbook which I have just updated to 10.4.8. After doing the update I can no longer connect to my wireless network. On 1st boot Airport asked to update the keychain. I said yes.
    Selecting my network, and entering the WPA key results in "Password for this network is incorrect" which is a load of rubbish as I can connect a PC Laptop to it perfectly. I have restarted the router, put in the key in caps and lower case, and still always the same error message.
    Has anybody else experienced this? If so, does anyone know how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Paul.

    I just brought home a new Macbook with the 10.4.8
    system software. I had to reconfigure my wireless
    router to "open system" - it still required the WEP
    key code, but when it was configured as an open
    system instead of an automatic system it allowed the
    Mac to connect.
    My other computers still work fine with the new
    router configuration.
    Macbook   Mac OS X
    (10.0.x)  
    10.4.8 came with your new macbook? or did you update?
    the only reason i ask is this was a question from a day or two ago, people were wondering if it were abnormal that new macbooks were still shipping with 10.4.6 even though 10.4.7 was out, and some predicted that once it went to 10.4.8 the shipping software would be updated to the new update

  • No wireless Internet after  the lastest security update

    Everything was working fine,but since i did the latest security update,...i noticed my wireless internet connection was getting weaker and weaker and now i can't connect anymore.
    I'm using a Belkin PCcard in my Powerbook G4 Titanium 867 GHZ
    Connected to a Belkin Wireless router.My Belkin Card is recognized as airport express in the system profiler.
    We also have a Ibook G4 800GHZ with an orginal airport extreme card , same problems too, no connection to our Belkin router.
    As i wrote earlier everything was working fine.....
    internet works fine with the standard UTP rj45 cable..
    What i did , Repaired all the permission, restarted the router, removed the airportkext2 file as suggested on some postings etc etc (later put it back ofcourse)... but no solution...
    Must be something with the latest, update I hope Apple solves this issue soon, any help from you Macwizards really appreciated.

  • Problems with Wireless connection AFTER 10.4.2 update

    I have read several topics on wireless problems AFTER the 10.4.2 update and wondering if anyone (or Apple) has found a fix to this problem. I cant get to my network or the internet via airport. I have tried zapping the pram, resetting the permissions, rebooting, checking for more update on a wired connection, reinstalling both 10.4.2 combo and 4.2 update and still nothing. This happened RIGHT after the reboot upon completion of the update. Im stuck and wondering if anyone has a solution or has any one SUCCESSFULLY contacted Apple and have they got a solution to fix the problem??

    I'm having the same problems with accessing my airport base station (first generation snow at 4.0.9) after loading the airport admin 4.2 patch. I loaded the 4.2 patch on my g5 and G4 running 10.3.9. The response/across of the wifi connection is very poor. I can't use chicken of the VNC to manage the G4 from the G5 anymore at all due to the slow response and accessing the internet via either the G4 or the G5 is like a dial up connection. The broadband speed test results are 192mb to 274mb up and similar down.
    I have a 12"powerbook (DVI 1gig version) with 10.3.9 that I have not loaded the 4.2 patch on and I am not having any issues with wifi access to the base station or the internet. broadband logs in right at 2.8mb via DSL. I also have a Dell laptop that I access the internet through the airport base station and I have no issues with speed and the same 2.8mb broadband speed test results.
    Conclusion something in the airport 4.2 patch has changed the airport cards ability to see the base station.
    With all that said, my question is - How do I back out of the 4.2 airport admin patch provided by apple or how do I resolve the slow response times between the airport cards in the G4 and G5 and the base station?
    Any help?

  • Slow wireless connection after 10.4.11 update

    Hi,
    I have a 17-inch iMac (2Ghz cpu) and ever since I updated to 10.4.11 my wireless connection has been very slow. I used to have download speeds between 150 and 200 KB, and now I can’t get past 20 or 30 KB. I have an XP laptop right beside the iMac, using the same wireless router and the connection is a lot faster, achieving the 200 KB I used to have with the iMac.
    I also used to transfer files a lot faster than I do now. I connect to a pc through smb and transferring files is really, really slow. It takes ages just to begin the transfer, and a 5MB file can take up to 15 minutes. It never took this long…
    The connection is quite stable though, it rarely disconnects, so I’m not sure whether I’m having the same problem other users have been posting in the forums. What I do know is that the update messed with my wireless connection.
    I’ve tried running Disk Utility’s repair disk permissions, Applejack’s AUTO repair, trashing plist files that I saw in other posts, nothing works.
    Anyone with the same problem? Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi again,
    I think I found a solution for this. It’s not the best solution, more of a workaround, but it’s been working for me.
    Searching other threads, I found this topic about users who had intermittent connection to the internet (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1027382&tstart=0). I tried changing the settings in my wireless router – not Linksys, it’s an Asus WL-520G, but has similar options – and the speeds were up again! SMB file transfers work at good speed, and the internet connection is back to normal.
    I’m not sure what these settings are for, but anyway all I did was change the “Beacon Interval” to 50, “RTS” to 2304 and “Fragmentation” to 2305 (I didn’t change the MTU because that seemed to be a PPPoE setting, not wireless).
    As I said, it’s not really a fix, because nothing changes in OS X, but anyway it may help some users who’ve been having the same problem.

  • Wireless Issues after 10.4.7 update

    Hi all,
    My wireless connection was solid since the day I bought my Macbook Pro. I had profiles connecting to my wireless router at home and my work wireless points at work. When I recently updated my system to 10.4.7, I have had some issues with my wireless.
    Sometimes when I start my mac up, login, etc, the wireless icon in the system tray will flicker, and I have no connection to my wireless. If I disable and enable the Airport device, sometimes it just starts working. Sometimes I have to reboot the system to make it work. If the icon does not flicker, it works fine, when it gets into that state where it doesn't work, the icon flickers.
    Anyone else having these issues?
    Macbook Pro 15" 1.83GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   1Gb RAM

    I also had some dropped connections over my wireless
    router at home (Linksys router) after the 10.4.7
    install. I have a MBP 15" W8617xxxx. Connection was
    good for a few minutes at a time. Then I had to
    restart AirPort.
    For me, I had installed some other apps about the
    same time as 10.4.7, so I uninstalled them, repaired
    permissions, installed the Combo 10.4.7 and now
    everything seems okay.
    I don't know if it was the new apps, or the Combo
    install, or repair permissions, or ?
    Hope that helps. Good luck.
    =================
    SDDave,
    i have been reading a lot of postings regarding the issues with wireless after the 10.4.7 update.
    i also have a linksys wireless router and have identical problems with you. i am sure many of us do as well.
    you said you managed to install the 10.4.7 combo and everything seems to work properly now? if so, would you be kind enough to give me detail steps on how to install the 10.4.7 combo file
    1. do we get the combo 10.4.7 from the apple site?
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosxupdate1047comboppc.html
    2. what steps do we need to install this file?
    please please help us out to provide detail steps to do this. i know some of us here are not as comfortable doing it without some help.
    i would appreciate if anyone else would help out beside sddave.
    thank you in advance. i can't wait to install this combo update to resolve this connection issue.

  • Any plans to fix wireless networking after the 40S51U Firmware Update 2.2.5 broke it?

    After the 40S51U Firmware Update 2.2.5 wireless passwords must be re-entered every time the device is powered on. It's been almost 4 months since the untested patch was released – is a fix coming?

    You're the only person I can remember having that issue. You should call customer support.

  • Anyone using a D-link 524 wireless router??

    anyone using a dlink 524 ? i can't get this thing to work .. any dlink users out there?

    I've got a 524.
    With my original MBP Core Duo machine, the 10.4.9 update totally put me out of commission. I had to reinstall OSX to get back online. Patching up to 10.4.8 was fine, but wireless update 2007-002 is the one that breaks things.
    But then the machine died... Which allowed me to discover that:
    MBP Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz works flawlessly with the DI-524. No problems at all. The original MBP has a crappy wireless card.

  • Problem with my Macbook Pro and D-Link 615 Wireless Router

    Supposedly other people have had similar issues but the router doesn't seem to "like" my Macbook Pro. If i connect the mac to the modem, it runs beautifully on the internet. When I try to connect via Airport or Ethernet to the router, the internet refuses to work and connections are never completely established. The wireless doesn't work but it will find the wireless internet signal but no matter what, it won't connect. The ethernet cable says that it is connected but "may not be able to access the internet" which it can't. What in the world do I do?

    I am having similar problems. I have updated firmware, set the router to g-only broadcast, have WPA personal security, tried the power down technique. What I'm experiencing is that the macbook will see the network, connect to it, browse web pages, but will only go to a certain point. IE-it will load facebook, let me log into my page, but after that anything I click on(check messages, check friend's pages) it gives me a lost connection to server error after a few minutes. Same thing with my forum group webpage. It'll let me log in and view all the forum posts, but when I try to reply to one it times out. Also cannot connect using MSN messenger for mac.

  • Can no longer connect to wireless router after upgrading to iTunes 9.2

    My wireless connection was fine (using MacBook). After upgrading iTunes, I can not longer connect to router/modem wirelessly - am tethered with an ethernet cable. Spent 1 1/2 hours on phone with AT&T support reseting the passwords, security, etc. A PC laptop accepts password and can connect. My iPhone still can connect. But my MacBook (OS X 10.6) will not recognize my password for the modem/router. Everything has been re-booted and reset to original settings. Also, I received an iPad yesterday and it won't accept the password for our home wireless network. The password is correct because I am using it on other devices that are connecting to the network. Any ideas?

    Yes, but the issue is not with Lion directly; there seems to be something with the upgraded system, perhaps a legacy setting or pref... I've scoured the system to no avail. I'm actually about to reinstall 10.6 - wasted too much time on this issue.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Wireless Connection after 10.4.8 Update

    I want to try and update again to 10.4.8. Has the wireless connection issue been resolved yet? The problem I was having before was when my mac went into sleep mode or I would reboot the wireless connection would be dropped. I tried just about everything I found on this board, but nothing worked. I had to archive and restore my mac back to 10.4.4. Is it safe to update, if not is there a fix for after I update?
    Any help would be great!.

    If I had an IntelMac I'd wait, or certainly not go past 10.4.7, and at that I'd surely use the bigger Combo Updates, not any of the Deltas.
    Yet if I did try 10.4.8... it'd be installed on a seperate FW drive for testing... without messing with the working install.
    All that being said... I still am at 10.3.9 or less on all my important work machines... only have Tiger on 2 machines to help sort out/test all the 10.4 problems!
