WiFi Access via AEBS in 4 Minutes or Less

The average connect time for either my 12" iBook or 17" pBook is 3m40s -- and then the modem in my AEBS resets within a few seconds (rather than the usual half minute or longer).
As of this posting the behaviour is now half a day old. Prior to that, I had no difficulty staying on; indeed, I was on late into the wee hours, shutting down around 4am after being online wirelessly for around five hours.
Am NOT on via cable or DSL -- am still using a modem hookup in the AEBS.
Have changed AEBS password and WEP, just to make sure no one unauthorized was connecting. I unplugged it and waited a few minutes before plugging in, and I've also pressed the reset button a couple of times.
Finally, I know it isn't my ISP, as a direct modem connect without AEBS allows me to stay on indefinitely.

Problem mysteriously solved itself a few days later: have not discovered how it started or why it cured itself.
Am now on DSL; no problems yet.

Ipad wifi access via Macbook Pro?

I do not have a wireless router at the moment to access wifi for my iPad,however I remember using wifi via settings in my Macbook pro.I was able to use the iPad internet through this.Someone helped me with this but it's been a while & I don't remember.Can someone show me the steps to this please.
Thanks.

You need to use Internet Sharing in the System Preferences of the Mac. It is a little bit different depending on which OS X version you are running. I still use it with an iMac running 10.4.11. In fact, I am using it now.
This should get you pretty close.
OS X Mavericks: Share your Internet connection
OS X Mountain Lion: Share your Internet connection
OS X Yosemite: Share your Internet connection

Can only connect one laptop via AEBS wifi

i was able to use my internet service with my Apple Airport Express Base Station (AEBS) for months without any problem and it was capable of simultaneous internet sharing (via wifi) among 3 laptops without the need to enter / directed to the internet provider's portal per connection (to enter account number and service reference number for authorization - works like a username and password for the connection)
not until their so-called "network upgrade" as stated by my internet provider's tech support - I am now only able to connect a single laptop via the AEBS
attempting to connect the other 2 laptops simultaneously with the 1 laptop on wifi connection was unsuccessful
can not connect more than one laptop to my internet service through the AEBS simultaneously
and whenever one laptop tries to connect to my internet service provider (via AEBS), you are immediately directed to the internet service provider's portal to enter your Account Number and Service Ref Number - you have to go through this every time you want to connect
i have already reset the settings of the AEBS and still, the problem persisted
any ideas on how to resolve this issue? is the problem with my internet service provider or my AEBS?
thanks in advance

Sounds like they've done something to stop more than one computer sharing the internet connection. It's possible that they've done this to prevent unauthorised access (by neighbours, etc.), but it's also possible that they've done it to stop people sharing one account - an attempt to get more customers to pay extra?
I'd be tempted to look for a new ISP if they can't help.

When I try to upgrade and install to iOS 5.1, error message prompt "operation stop running". I have tried several time but failed. Also, would like to know why always need to have wifi access in order to upgrade the version of iPad iOS, why not 3G ?

When I try to upgrade and install to iOS 5.1, error message prompt "operation stop running". I have tried several time but failed. Also, would like to know why always need to have wifi access in order to upgrade the version of iPad iOS, what is the purpose of 3G then? This is really nonsense using wifi + 3G iPad. need help ! Thanks.

The file is too large to download via 3G. There is a 20MB limit with 3G. The purpose of having 3G is that you have internet access everywhere and do not need to be near a WiFi hotspot or network.
Not every single thing that you do every single minute of the day on the iPad involves downloading files larger than 20MB. You can surf the internet all day long sitting out in a park somewhere with 3G - but not with a WiFi only iPad - unless you use a hotspot with it.
Try turning off your firewall and anti virus software while you try to download the iOS update.

Can't HP Officejet pro 8100 do wifi access point?

Yesterday my HP Officejet pro 8100 arrived and I try to connect via wifi. I thinked that It need a infrastructure access point to print via wifi.
When I powered on the printer I osserved that It create an access point autonomously with SSID: HP-Setup-7A-Officejet Pro, with IPv4 address server, etc...
I was very happy and I printed a page with my smartphone samsung s4 connected directly with printer access point (not wifi direct but standard wifi).
Today no changed occurred but I can't use printer with its own access point, but only with an external wifi access point.
Someone can help me, please? It could be an hardware problem?
Thanks,
Luca
P.S. in web server I checked that "access point connectivity" (Punto di accesso wireless connettività in Italian) is checked.
This question was solved.

Hello lucait
To print via WiFi you need to have a wireless router setup. Once you have the wireless router setup correctly you will have a SSID and Wepkey that will enable you to add devices to your network. The network will allow all your devices to communicate not just with each other but with the internet. At the moment your printer was not put in a network so instead of broadcasting on a network it is broadcasting on it's own network called HP-Setup-7A-Officejet Pro which is only good for a short period of time to allow you to setup your wireless. I am going to assume you have a wireless network and you are just needing assistance getting the printer setup on that network.
To set your printer up on a network you will need to reset your network defaults so your printer begins to broadcast that HP-Setup-7A-Officejet Pro network again. You can do this buy following the steps on the HP Support document Resetting the Network Settings. Once you have done this you can begin to install the software that came with your printer on your computer. You want to set the printer up wirelessly when the option arrives. The software should configure your printers wireless for you and put it on the network. Once completed you should be able to access your printer from all your devices as long as they are on the network.
I hope this helps resolve your wireless issue. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

AirPort Extreme (5th Gen) WiFi access point disappears but wired ethernet is ok

My AirPort Extreme SSID and access point "disappear" randomly from available WiFi networks. I had a 1st gen AirPort Extreme and never had this problem until earlier this year. I thought it might be a failing radio in the 1st gen unit so I used it as a good excuse to get a 5th gen AirPort extreme about 3 months ago. Same problem has been occuring; unfortunately it is random and I cannot get a handle on what/when/why it is happening.
For example, my iPhone 4S was connected to the network at about 1700 today and when I next checked the phone around 2115, no wifi connection and my network was not listed in the WiFi connections. The base station is away from other wireless devices (mouse, keyboard) and is about 10 feet from the nearest PC and monitor. Both printers are accessed via ethernet, not wifi. The strange and puzzling thing is that the PC, which is connected by ethernet to the AirPort Extreme, is still connected to the internet (I can browse, check email, newsgroups, etc.).
When I run the AirPort Utility, the base station is identified (AirPort Extreme 802.11n 5th Generation), there is an appropriate IP address, Version 7.6 firmware, and MAC address is listed. However, when I attempt to Continue or do a Manual Setup, I'm prompted for the admin password, the progress bar moves during 'reading from the Apple wireless device. Please wait...,' and then the utility reports "An error occured while tryong to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again. Error -6722.
If I unplug, wait, and reattach the power to the base station, WiFi becomes available again. When the WiFi connection "disappears", the LED light is solid green.
Any insights are appreciated; please let me know other helpful information I can provide.

I have the exact same problem and it's driving me nuts.
I bought an airport extreme n last week and plugged it in, hooked it up to my adsl router by Ethernet, configured it to set up a new wifi network and got the green light. I use an iPhone 4, iPad 2, and Windows 7 PC with an N wifi adaptor.
The airport works fine for about 2 hours before the wireless network disappears without a trace. Green light remains on the base station and I can connect fine by Ethernet.
"it just don't make sense"
I hope it's not a windows-7-only thing, Apple.
PS. Updated firmware to the newest version, no difference.
Airport is near to a wireless phone so I set a specific wireless channel and frequency to prevent a clash. No change.

Remote TC access via port forwarding

I have been trying to setup my network for remote TC access via port forwarding. Here's my setup:
Verizon FiOS router (main router, dhcp & nat) -> connected to TC set in bridge mode with a static IP
I can remotely access the TC using Back to my Mac with no problems, and of course locally on the home network via Wifi.
Since the TC has to connect in bridge mode, port forwarding is done on the FiOS router.
If I set a port forwarding rule in the FiOS router TCP,UDP (any) to port 548, it works. However I want to use a specific connection port
so others can't connect unless they know the forwarded port. BTW, I have remote disk sharing set with Use Device Password.
So here's what works:
FiOS Router (TCP any -> 548, UDP any ->548)
What doesn't work:
FiOS router (TCP 8990 -> 548, UDP 8990 -> 548).
Is there any additional setting required for specific port forwarding to work?

You're my hero!
I also have my TC in Bridge Mode to my Verizon FIOS Router. I used to be able to access my TC remotely, but since I upgraded my router (MI424WR GigE), I had forgotten some port forwarding rules I must have established in my old router. Once I re-created these two port forwarding rules (just like yours), I can remote access my TC (with TC password) again.
In addition, I have a static host name aliased to my dynamic IP address through dyndns.org (I have the free version, which I don't think is available anymore, but there are other free providers out there) for easier remote access.
Regarding, Secure Share Disks: with TC password vs a disk password. Is one more secure than the other?
Thanks!

Network camera access via airport extreme ie: i need to assign a port and a

please help me i have a cabin in the mountains that is off the grid... and i use solar power... i have my internet access via wifi and an antenna... it goes to a d-link router in my electric room then from there via a cat 5 cable to a apple airport extreme base station... and i would like to plug the camera into the base station via a cat 5 cable....
i am trying to set up a network camera to via a airport extreme base station.... the tech support on the camera end (airlink 101 skyIP cam500 model aicn500) said to enable port 80 and to assign a IP address (which i have)... apple support has been unable to help me after almost 1 hour with tech support.... here is what the camera tech support page suggests....
You will now need to forward the Second HTTP Port through your router to the IP address of the camera. If you have an AirLink101 router, we have instructions in our knowledge base for port forwarding. If you have a router from another company, you will need to contact them for instructions on port forwarding.
When accessing the camera from a remote location you will need to open a browser and type in the internet IP address of your network (not the ip address of the camera) and the port into a web browser. The address and port will need to be typed in like this:
http://x.x.x.x:port
x.x.x.x = Internet IP address
port = Second HTTP Port
Here is an example of what it would look like: http://123.123.123.123:81
can anyone please help me?

i can not thank you enough for taking the time time to help me!!! i really appreciate it.... i have done the set up with the d link router and am now trying to access the camera from the web.... but i am having trouble logging in and finding it? i am not sure what ip address to enter into my web browser? i think that i need to add the ip addresss folllowed by a forward slash and then the port # 80.... but what ip address should i add? in the device info part of the d link router i have found a number of ip address's... but none of them seem to work? what am i doing wrong? or not doing? my apple base station is set up in the bridge mode with a password to protect it...
thanks again...

Canon 70D, Wifi access point with Android

I bought a Canon 70D this week and I cannot get the Wifi access point option to work with my Nexus 7 2013 or my Samsung Galaxy S3. I was able to connect my 70D to my Wifi network and see the device that way. But when on the road you won't always have access to a local LAN. When I try the access point mode both devices never see the 70D.
I rebooted both Android devices after installing the EOS app. I also get the camera in access point mode first and then launch the EOS app. I let the app sit for several minutes and never finds the 70D.
Any tips?

Hi gquiring!
Thanks for posting.
When you go through the setup process on the camera, are you selecting [Easy Connection] ot [Manual Connection]? If using [Manual Connection], try using the [Easy Connection] instead.
When prompted by the camera to connect to it with your smartphone, do you see the SSID of the camera show up in the list of networks you can connect to on your smartphone?
If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

Cisco 1262 AP cannot access via cosole and GUI

Hi,
I have a Cisco AIR-LAP1262N-E-9 but I cannot access via console and GUI. Also, I noticed that after getting IP address from DHCP server, its IP address will be released after 2minutes. Then after a while, the access point will get another new IP address. And this happens repeatedly.
Hoping for some help out there...
Thanks,
shawn

Hi Manas,
Thanks for your comments.
I have a WLC 5508 controller. I just want to have a basic setup for my upcoming project implementation. On my test bed, I have WLC, 2 sets of AP, and PoE L3 switch. The L3 switch serves as a DHCP server to APs. I manually set the Management Interface IP address of WLC in the same VLAN of the DHCP scope for AP just for basic connectivity. Upon powering up the APs, the WLC detected the APs. However, after 2-3 minutes, the WLC cannot detect anymore the APs. I also notice that the APs are getting their IP address to DHCP server but it will release after sometime..may about 3minutes. Then the APs will get again IP address and will release it. And this happens continuously. I just wish to hard code the IP settings to APs via console but I cannot access it.
Hoping for your help and thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shawn

Z 10 doesn't see WiFi access points

My Z 10 doesn't see some WiFi access points eg at the Apple Store.

dgriffin1 wrote:
I'm going back to the beginning.
Got a Z10 for Christmas. Like it a lot. One problem is that it doesn't see some WiFi access points, particularly one at an Apple store in Troy, Mi and 2 Apple stores in Southern Ontario, where I live. I bought the phone at Staples. Use Speakout from 7 - 11 stores in Canada. Help from Staples was to replace the phone. Speakout will not support phones they don't sell. Speakout rents bandwidth from Rogers and Rogers has no interest in helping.
Blackberry customer service has changed a lot since I bought the playbook, some years ago. I accessed help via Twitter. They had me go through the trouble shooter at http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/48934/rok1377705513159.jsp#rok1377705513... with no success. Then they suggested I access their phone support, which costs $50 with no promise of success. They suggest provider pay the $50. As above, not much chance of this.
Then I found this forum. Thanks for the suggestions. Based on them, I tried opening the browser. No connection.
I learned how to install Android apps and installed Wifi Manager and WiFi Analyzer. Returned to the Apple store yesterday. Neither WiFi Manager or WiFi Analyzer sees the Apple router. Ipod touch, Ipad, Android phone etc. see it with no problems.
Suggestions?
Could be a Radio problem, you could wait for the OS 10.3 upgrade coming out shortly.

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.

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?

I have a new printer which behaves OK except it will not print directly from a web site accessed via Firefox. We do not have this problem if accessed via another browser. Suggestions?

New printer is Brother MFCJ615W. OS is XP. Computer is quite old Dell. Printer also refuses to print pictures from .jpg files - but the fact that I can print direct from web sites accessed via another browser suggests some of the problem is with Firefox. I asked this a few days ago and got an email reply giving me a link to click on - but this only produced an error message.

I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
thanks again

Lost wifi access w/ Yosemite, and now ethernet too?

I 'updated' my mid-2010 Macbook Pro to 10.10.1 from 10.10 and my wifi access went from slow to completely non-existent. My wife couldn't get her mid-2010 Macbook Pro updated to 10.10.1 from 10.10 because of a bug: Video of being unable to install 10.10.1 (13 sec) (how sad that one bug prevented another), but her computer can access the internet via ethernet. However, I can't even do that. Is anyone else 'fortunate' enough to have an ethernet jack having that problem? I restarted a few times, etc.

Hi i have a probpem with my WIFI Disconectting only has been happening since i upgraded to Yosemite before that it was fine sometime it goes 5 10 mins then dis connects have to turn wifi off then have to re turn it back on
I am using a technicolor TG587n V3 Router this was supplied to me by Telstra and had been working fine before up graded to yosemite
i am student who stydying so i live on the internet very very annoying when i have to always keep re booting

Our primary Thunderbird account is working, but the staff who have access via wi fi cannot get it to come up.

Our main office computer's email is working fine, but staff members who access their separate accounts by wi fi can't get Thunderbird to come up. They can, however, access their non-Thunderbird email accounts, so the wifi isn't the problem.

"can't get Thunderbird to come up" - please describe further what you mean by this.
Similarly, "They can, however, access their non-Thunderbird email accounts" doesn't make any immediate sense to me. Can you indicate what it is they are doing that does work?
There's no such thing as a "Thunderbird email account". Most people using this phrase seem to use it to describe an email account provided by their ISP, which they access via an email client such as Thunderbird as opposed to accounts provided by independent providers such as googlemail, yahoo, outlook.com, etc. However I can't infer your intended meaning here.
