Wifi access from my wrk54g router shows as disabled

I've been using my wifi access for years. Suddenly today my laptop and my phone shows my wifi connection as being disabled. How can I re-enable the connection? It works fine wired.
Thanks,
Cedj

Where does it shoe disabled? On router or computer?
What is the operating system on your laptop?
If it is on laptop then go to Network connections. You will find wireless network connection. Right click on it and enable it.
If it is on router then you will need to check the wireless settings of the router.
Connect one computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Open the setup page of the router. Go to wireless tab. The Network mode should be mixed and Wireless SSID broadcast should be enabled.

My iphone wifi data from the consolidated file shows more wifi networks than I have been exposed to. Does the iphone also collect location on wifi networks that are within reach of the wifi networks it has access to?

I took out the wifi location data from the consolidated file and plotted into google maps. Clearly, not all those wifi networks are in areas or really close to areas I've been to, yet somewhat close. Does it mean that if I am within a range of a wifi network my iphone will not only collect location data of that particular wifi network but also all others that are within reach of that wifi network and so forth?

Mi424wr-gen3I no internet access from secondary subnet / router

All,
I am looking to provide internet access to my internal LAN / WLAN devices on another router. I have configured my second router to connect to the 192.168.1.0/24 network on the mi424wr LAN.
Static routes: 192.168.2.0/24 next hop 192.168.1.254 (secondary router interface connected to m1424wr LAN)
Firewall policy filter: Network Home Inbound and outbound allow access sourced and destined to both subnets.
I have layer 3 conectivity between the routers but I am not able to browse the internet from secondary router 192.168.2.0 network. My default router on the 192.168.2.0/24 is the 192.168.1.1 router.
I tried to modifiy the DNS setting for devices on the 192.168.2.0 net but nothing works. Used 192.168.1.1 (mi424wr interface which the setting for the 192.168.1.0 net devices. Even tried using verizon's DNS server 68.237.161.12 but no internet access. The mi424wr does have a dns server setting which I tried to statically add 192.168.2.x host but that did not work.
So I am not sure if the mi424wr DNS server is not allowing any other subnets beside the 192.168.1.0/24 to access its DNS services or some other policy is needed to be created. My secondary router is not NATing and at a loss.
Tried to research other methods of using my secondary router to connect to internet with the mi424wr-gen3I but nothing seems worth trying. Setting the mi424wr-gen3I to bridge mode would be an option but have not seen any configuration for the REV I router vesion. My last setup worked in bridge mode and STB were functional but VOD was always very choppy. Seem there are some QoS setting the mi424wrI has configure to improve traffic priority for video.
Any assistance appreciated.

As STX said. All you need to do is to connect an ethernet cable from a lan port of the Verizon router to the wan port of your own router. Your own router needs to be configured with an address on the 192.168.1 subnet, either dhcp or static, yours is you say at 192.168.1.254 as is mine. Then you should have configured the dhcp side of your router with a subnet other than 192.168.1 which apparently you have done. You do not need static routes or anything else for devices on the 192.168.2 subnet to access the internet, other than valid DNS server addresses - did you set valid dns servers addresses in the static ip internet connection on your router? You could set it to 192.168.1.1 and pick up whatever dns the vz router is using or you could set it dns servers of your choice, personally I set mine to opeDNS server addresses.
What kind of router is the second router?
Your description of your setup sound OK and the only difference I see between your setup and mine is that you say your second router is not NATing

Wifi access point not allow to stream a video between two machnies in LAN

Does some one ever encountered problem like this?
I have a wifi accesspoint runs on my computer . And my computer is in a local area network(10.16.71.26). And I am streaming a video over rtp using JMF from another computer (10.16.71.27). This works fine when the wifi access point in my local machine is disabled. When it is enabled the video streaming not works.
I have tried with many forums but still didn't manage to find an answer. So please be kind enough to put some light on this problem or at least direct me to a place where I can find the answer. Hope at least some of u have faced a problem like this.
Thank You
these are my network configs, do not know whether this helps to make a suggestion

You'd probably get better help with this issue on the networking forum...
Can you ping the other computer via it's 10.x IP when the wifi AP is on?

Showing duplicate wifi access point in N82

Hi,
i have a weird issue with my N82 wifi, hopefully i can explain it correctly..
my problem is when i connect to a new wifi, it will always shown 2 access point in the wifi list.. what's weird is that the duplicate wifi access point name is the last wifi point i connected... and if i remove one of the access point from the list, both will be gone..
so for example in steps:
1) i first connect to 'ABC'
2) i remove 'ABC'
3) i connect to 'CDE'
result is in access point list, it will show
'ABC'
'CDE'
if i selecet 'ABC', it's actually connects to 'CDE'.. and if i delete either one of them, both will be gone.
4) i delete 'CDE' (both are now gone)
5) i connect to 'CDE' again
the result is it will shown:
'CDE'
'CDE (1)'
again, if i delete either one of them, both will be gone.
so any idea? WIFI still works, but a bit agnoring..
thanks in advance

If I understand the situation, with an Ethernet connection for the Airport the wifi component is free to act as an access point. But one Airport device cannot act as a wifi receiver and as an an access point.
That is correct. A single Express in this situation would act as a Wi-Fi "receiver," but will only provide an active Ethernet connection for wired clients. You will need a second one to create the wireless network.
Again, this is because you typically won't have administrator access to the RV park's wireless router AND, most likely if you did, it wouldn't be another Apple router. The option I provided should get you around both of those facts ... and should work at other locations with the same wireless setup.

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!

Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

Please help: Get IP address of a remote device (wifi kit) from DHCP router

Hi ppl,
I am about to get the IP address for the wifi kit which is connected to the same router with my PC.
I need to control my wifi kit through TCP client communication, but DHCP tends to assign new IP address to my wifi kit when connected to router.
Hence, i wish to write a java function to trace the IP address before starts the communication.
I am thinking to get the wifi kit's IP address based on the Hostname (name of the wifi shield):
As below:
InetAddress thatIp = InetAddress.getByName("Wiznet");
System.out.println("IP E:"+thatIp.getHostAddress());
But i don't think this is secure..
I attempt to research for getting IP address with MAC..
But have ambiguity on the result i found.
It stating i have to get the ARP table from router but it is not a good approach.
I have no luck for next finding on how retrieving the table with Java.
Hereby hope to have your advise how can i get the ip address of my wifi kit in a more dynamic and secure method..
is it using Hostname or MAC address or else...
many thanks.

hi... wish to have your advise again.
I tried to retrieve the arp table in java and attempt to extract the IP address based on MAC address for particular devise.
But i stuck with the substring... my code is as below:
Process result = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("arp -a");
     BufferedReader output = new BufferedReader
               (new InputStreamReader(result.getInputStream()));
     String line = output.readLine();
     while(line != null){
          if ( line.startsWith("default") == true ){
               System.out.println("is default");
               break;
     line = output.readLine();
     String ipAdd = line.substring(0, 18);
     String MACAdd = line.substring(24, 42);
     System.out.println(line.length() + " " + line + " " + ipAdd + " " + MACAdd );
i m trying to sub the IP and MAC accordingly.. but i got error saying
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 42
     at java.lang.String.substring(Unknown Source)
     at ExecTest.main(ExecTest.java:22)
i dun understand this! as since the length of LINE is 56 , why STRING INDEX OUT OF RANGE happen?!
please advise!!!

I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad. I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work? Any suggestions?

I'm trying to update iPhoto 7.1.5 on my old iMac (running 10.9.5) to current versions so I can get my photos onto iCloud to access from my iPad. I can't seem to find an upgrade route that will work? Any suggestions?

For Mavericks you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1.
You cannot buy this version from the AppStore, since the current version is iPhoto 9.6, and that requires Yosemite. The easiest route for you would be to upgrade to Yosemite. Then you can simply buy the newest version of iPhoto from the App Store and can use iCloud Photo Library (iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ), once it has been release for the Mac as well early next year.
If you want to stick with Mavericks, you'll have limited iCloud features, only the Photo Streams (iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ), but no iCloud Drive (iCloud Drive FAQ) and iCloud Photo Library. And to upgrade iPhoto you need to buy an iPhoto '11 installer. It comes as part of iLife '11. You can try to buy a boxed version from Amazon or try to find it at eBay. Once installed on Mavericks, download the iPhoto '11 updaters from the apple Support Downloads page.

I'm in the process of creating a WiFi network from my IMac to my LG HDTV. I am incorporating a LG WiFi capable Blu-ray player and will purchase an Apple Express or Apple Extreme router. I need some advise on using this aquipment.

I need help in determining the best way to create a WiFi network from my IMAC to a WiFi capable LG Blu-Ray player that will connect to my LG HDTV. Since I will only need one network I need to know which is the best Apple Airport router to use (Express or Extreme). What is the correct way to connect these units? It seem self explanitory,but I'm checking my thinking. My HDTV is about 20' from where the airport router will be installed with a wall between them. Has anyone created this network? Is this the best way to create a WiFi network?

I HAVE AN IPAD 2 WITH WIFI ONLY, CAN I GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM ANY SMARTPHONE, OR DO I NEED A SPECIFIC PHONE FOR THIS?

i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone

I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features. Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy!

Accessing a server via the Server app from outside a router firewall

So I'm trying to access my server using the Server app on a MacBook Pro outside my server network. I can access it just fine when my client is inside the server network, but I cannot connect when outside the server network.
I've done the following troubleshooting:
- I've turned off the server Firewall option available in the server's Server Admin tool
- I've set up port forwarding on my router
- I've opened up port 311 on the router
- I've placed the server outside the router DMZ zone and the Server app connects just fine
- I've checked the box "Allow remote administration using Server" in the server's Server app Settings tab
- With the router configured correctly, the Server app cannot access the server
There's something in the router that is blocking access by the Server app. Apple Enterprise support says they are sure there is no other port to open up. Is there something else I should be doing to access the server from outside the router using a client Server app?
TIA
ps - this worked fine when I just had the server hanging directly off a cable modem.

I and I suspect a lot of other admins would argue you should not be making your server accessible via Server.app remotely due to security concerns. Saying that, I and again I suspect a lot of other admins also want/need to be able to remotely administer servers. There is a better way however to achieve this.
You should be running a VPN server, perhaps using your same Mac server. You should leave the firewall blocking access directly for Server.app but if your remote Mac first connects via the VPN it will then be connected securely to your internal network and then be able to use Server.app
