WiFi-Automatic network switching with OS 5.0.0.461?

There was a previous version of OS 5 (I don't remember which one) that I was using with the 8900 that seems to connect to known WiFi networks automatically for me. For instance, once I've connected to my home and work WiFi networks (at least once), it would know to automatically connect with these networks when I am in the vicinity. I did not have to change anything on the BB or switch networks manually.
However, since using 5.0.0.461, the 8900 no longer connects to known WiFi signals automatically. Someone has said this has something to do with the option setting of "single profile scanning" in the WiFi setup options screen. But I've tried to turn this option on AND off and it seems to make no difference. In fact, if this option is off, the 8900 does not connect to ANY WiFi networks. If this option is on, it connects with only the network I have to manually choose.
Can anyone tell me what their experience is with automatically connecting with known WiFi networks? Is there a setting or option I am not aware of. It's a pain to always have to manually switch networks when I go back and forth from home to work and back.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Seems like the problem I reported in the opening post is related to 5.0.0.461. I saw yesterday that there was a "leaked OS" for the 8900. This is OS 5.0.0.509. I download and installed this new OS and my problem disappeared. Now the 8900 will connect to known WiFi networks automatically when I have the "enable single profile scanning" option unchecked.

As far as I can see the dwlg510 is an wireless adapter for PC. Not an accesspoint. You need a router.

Tcpip.sys related BSOD in Vista at either wifi/ ethernet network connection with my university

Dear all,
laptop:: Lenovo X61s 3G L7700
OS version: windows Vista business Sp1
tcpip.sys version: 6.0.6001.22167
wifi: Intel 4965AGN. Standard Gigabyte intel ethernet 82566MM
system drivers and BIOS are the most updated driver.
At my 2 homes using ADSL routers, there are absolutely no problems with network connection by wifi or ethernet. However, blue screen occurs when I bring this laptop to university and connect to the network via either ethernet or wifi. This happened to me a few months back. It crashed EVERY TIME when a network connection was attempted. It did not matter whether I updated my drivers on both wifi or ethernet cards. Whenever I bring it to either of my2 homes, no blue screen ever occurs.
It also happens when I attempt to connect to free wifi network in the airport. It crashes again with EXACTLY the same problem. I have to admit that I do not even where to start looking for the problems. System restore did not solve this either. I ran the WinBug analysis. It pointed towards tcpip.sys. My sys ver is at the top of this message.
Would appreciate if someone can point this to the right direction. I am seriously thinking of downgrading this to XP, since it had NEVER happened to XP.
thanks,
VIncent

UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP_M (1000007f)
This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
is always instant death (double fault). The first number in the
bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
If kv shows a taskGate
        use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
Else if kv shows a trapframe
        use .trap on that value
Else
        .trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken
        (on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap)
Endif
kb will then show the corrected stack.

Per my original post:
"When my ATV is connected via ethernet, and I attempt to play some internet radio stations, some will work just fine while others won't. For example, when connected to my home network via ethernet, some internet radio channels (I can't give a percentage because I haven't tested all of them) will play just fine, however, others won't. The ATV will attempt to connect, but the spinning progress bar just goes and goes and goes until it eventually errors out (no error number is provided, it just says that there was trouble loading the content). The funny thing (or not so funny thing actually) is that if I unplug the ethernet cable, and connect my ATV to the network via wifi, those same stations that didn't play when ATV was connected via ethernet, WILL play when ATV is connected via wifi. So, in short, some stations play just fine when ATV is connected to home network, through wireless router, via either wifi OR ethernet, yet some will only play when ATV is connected to home network via wifi. I have found this to be the same when it comes to downloading or refreshing the photos in my photo stream. If I throw new photos in my photo stream on iCloud, and the ATV is connected via ethernet, they won't refresh to the ATV, however, if I unplug the ATV and connect via wifi they begin to refresh."
There are dozens of original threads out there that report of similar - if not exact, issues. I have contacted "Roy" per his request and not heard back from him (if such a person exists). I have "restored" my ATV and rebooted all equipment to no avail. Until Apple gets with it, acknowledges their problem, and fixes it, I am resigned to just having to deal with switching back and forth from wifi to ethernet, and so on.

Problems with uVerse DVR connected to a network switch and 1x3 HDMI switch

So that I can connect multiple devices (Apple TV & BluRay player), I've connected my uVerse DVR to a network switch with IP Quality of Service function. Is it known whether or not this will cause problems? I am having problems, but see next question for probable cause. I have also connected my HD TV to a 1x3 HDMI switch output, with inputs from the uVerse DVR, Apple TV, & BluRay player. This clearly has caused problems because the DVR goes through the power on sequence almost everytime the TV is turned on, I have intermittent problems with the HDMI switch displaying video on the TV, and on several occassions, shows scheduled for recording haven't recorded at all or only partially recorded.

I've been having problems with this for months especially with the GigaPower rollout and broke down and decided to resort to some network engineering tactics versus calling out AT&T Techs. The Techs are good at their job but they are only knowledgeable about the hardware aspect but are dumb founded on this one and it's not their job to know. To the point of using a switch next to the DVR and this counts truly for all set top boxes via Ethernet they need to be physically seperated wires. Well, unless you want to pay someone to put an extra Ethernet drop next to each wired set-top box or DVR this isn't feasible so options are deal with it or spend $20 more dollars on a switch that supports 802.1q trunking which makes two 'virtual' independent ethernet cables over one line. If you can do it great otherwise this takes a higher than average knowledge of basic networking. A basic setup would be: + Get two switches - Netgear GS108T or GS108E I've found does the job well. + Enable 802.1q advanced VLANs+ Make two additional vlans 2 and 3 (1 is the native VLAN)+ Mark a port as tagged 'T' for the trunk port to the other switch for VLANS 1,2,3 (I used port 8)+ Assign VLAN 2 and mark as untagged for ports 2-7 - this is for data traffic+ Assign VLAN 3 and mark as untagged for port 8 only - this is for video multi-cast traffic+ ***DISABLE*** MULTI-CAST IGMP SNOPING otherwise IPTV won't work. On the back of the Uvserse router, take an Ethernet wire and plug into port 8 and take an Ethernet cable and plug into port 7. This does not create a loop though sounds like it, we've created two unique layer 2 networks. Now configure the second Netgear switch (or switch of your choosing...) the same exact way but plug your DVR into port '8' and all your data stuff XBox, whatever... into ports 2-7. Whalla, you've eliminating multi-cast flooding and DVR traffic is independent. Ever since I started doing this I increased the speed throughput from 10 MB/s or to never working to a full reliable gigabit speed or respectibly whatever UVerse service you get.

Need help setting up WiFi - Xfinity with Network Switch, Time Capsule, Airport Express and Apple TV

Hello - I recently got Comcast Xfinity service. We had switched from a different service. Our wifi service was never great, but prior to Xfinity, it worked decently. But now that we have Xfinity, our wifi is much worse and very unreliable. I am seeking advice on how to setup my various Apple wifi devices in my home. I have attached a diagram that illustrates what I am dealing with. We have a large old house with stone walls. Comcast does not support this issue.
To explain the attached diagram, we have a total of 4 levels in our house - an unfinished basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor, and 3rd floor. The Xfinity router is in the basement and it is connected to a NetGear 10/100 network switch. I already have ethernet cables running from the network switch in the basement to various locations throughout the house. So I have ethernet connected to my time capsule and ethernet connected to each of my 3 Airport express devices. The dark lines running from the network switch to the various devices represents ethernet cable.
The immediate problem that we are having is that we are unable to connect to our wifi networks. The networks show on my mac laptop and my iPhone, for example, but I am unable to connect. I know that I am inputting the correct password, but most of the time, we cannot get in. Sometimes we can..... Very frustrating! Also, due to the fact that I setup what I have over several years, I have multiple network names. I once tried to fix that issue, but was unable to tackle it due to my lack of understanding.
Here is what I am looking to accomplish:
1. Seamless wifi access throughout our house.
2. One name for our wifi network. Right now we have multiple names for multiple networks. Just want to simplify and have only one network. (I guess that an additional "guest network" would be ok, but not absolutely necessary.
Also, if you think I should disable the Xfinity wifi, and just rely on my mac wifi devices, I am perfectly fine with this. Just tell me how to do so.
I have no idea how where to start or how to set this up. I imagine that I would need to disconnect everything and reset and start from scratch? Can someone tell me what I should do? Even general advice would be helpful, but the more specific, the better, given my limited understanding. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

How do I set up different network locations with different wifi?

I am having an issue setting up different network locations with different wifi profiles on each. I want to do this to enable fast switching of wireless networks. In my house I have two wireless networks, my own personal one and one that is created by using a wifi modem supplied by my company. If I use the company wifi network then I can get into all my work applications without having to enable VPN access separately. It is also faster. However, they also block many applications including sending email from my personal email account, dropbox, etc. So throughout the day I need to switch wireless networks back and forth.
I was looking for a faster way to switch and thought I would try network locations. Was able to set up a new network location without issue. However it seems that whatever wireless preferences, changes, or wifi network order I put into my "Work" location it carries over to my other location which is the standard "Automatic".
What I would like it to have my "Work" location only to be able to connect to my work wifi and my other network (Automatic) to just connect to my home wifi only. That way I can enable faster wifi switching and can even use my launcher program (Alfred) to provide shortcuts.
Anyway to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Just thought I would bump this up in the conversation. Doing a further search I came across this discussion which is similar: Connecting to a wireless network via applescript?
However, I tried to build the Automator application as discussed and cannot get it to work. Very much a novice at Applescript and Shell Script but have created customized Automator services before. All I get now is "Shell Script command encountered an error". No more detail. I copied and pasted the script as shown in the email thread. Is there any other line or command I need to place in front of it?
Thanks again for any help

Homehub 3 problems with wifi and network - please ...

I am hoping someone can help me, as I am struggling to work out why I am getting so many problems with my network at home.
I have BT Infinity, and a Homehub 3A. I have had BT broadband for years. Infinity was added in Feb 2013. The HH3A is the original one supplied to me years ago.
When Infinity was installed I also added a pair of TP Link powerline adapters, to provide a connection to an unmanaged network switch in the lounge.
A rough outline of what I have connected to the router is:
Wired
- Synology NAS Diskstation
- Win7 laptop
- powerline adapter
Wifi
- 3 iphones
- 2 ipads
- Win7 laptop
- 2 Win Vista laptops
Powerline / network switch
- Sonos bridge
- TV
- BluRay
- Vodafone booster
- SkyHD
Recently I am getting a number of different problems:
1) wifi drops to everything connected to the router, at the same time, all blue lights are on the router
I lose wifi connection to the internet, from all devices, at the same time, but also the connection from my laptop to the NAS drops.
2) Anything connected to the Powerline adapter is rarely available
I try and connect to Sonos, or my sky box or the TV, but they aren't connected to the router. The lights on the powerline adapters indicate everything is fine, and the HH3 has all blue lights. But my iphone and laptop cannot find my Sonos. My iphone app cannot find my sky box. And on the TV it says it is not connected to the internet. To solve this problem I have to power cycle the pair of Powerline adapters.
Some observations:
1) these problems are all since Infinity was installed. I have no idea if that is relevant.
2) My NAS Diskstation has a powersave mode. I noticed last night that when I woke it up, the powerline adapters disconnected briefly, before reconnecting. But when they did reconnect I could not access anything connected to them. It was as if the NAS had booted them off the network, and then they couldn't get back on.
3) I run a 10m brand new Cat5e cable from the infinity modem to my router, because the modem is in the garage.
Can anyone help? I am tearing my hair out with this.
Thanks for any help.

If you set the devices on the home hub to always use the same IP address, then that can help.
The problem is that when the DHCP lease expires, the home hub often gives the device a different IP address, and this breaks the port forwarding rules.
Some routers allow you to specify which IP addresses are to be reserved, but the home hub does not.

Server wont communicate with new network switch.

Hi, I hope someone can help.
I have a small office network running Macs with OS 10.6.4, HPs with Windows XP, and a mac mini server running 10.6.4 server, file sharing only.
DHCP and internet access etc is controlled by a Netgear ADSL router. All machines are connected by a 16 port 10/100 Netgear switch.
The problem is I replaced the switch with a 10/100/1000 switch and all machines connect fine except the server. This will not connect at all with the new switch, not even do any lights come on. However if I connect the server to the old 10/100 switch then to the new gigabit switch it connects fine but this defeats the purpose of the gigabit access to the server and the high speed macs on the network. The reason I upgraded in the first place! The standard Macs are Imac G5 Intel based late Snow leopard models and they have no trouble with the new switch.
Does Snow Leopard server somehow remember specific hardware on the network when setup? And needs to be changed to recognize the new?? I tried switching everything off and restarting the whole network.
I don't have a heap of knowledge but thought this should have been simple.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, paul

Thanks for the reply.
No it is not managed, No uplink port, uplink is auto controlled on any port.
I have swapped and swapped and swapped this is what led me to using the old switch on the server.
This is what happens.
Putting the server cable from the server into the new gigabit switch Tried with 300m cable directly next to it. No connection on any of the 16 ports. tried several cables including longer ones etc.
Now if I use the same cable from the gigabit switch to any port on the old switch then connect a cable from any other port of the old switch to the server. Connection, no problems at all. I.E the Old switch is uplinking to the new.
It is as if the server says "hey where is the old switch I can't work without it" Thats why I thought maybe OS X server kept some sort of register of the devices when it is initially setup and this may need to be changed.
Also any other computer works fine when placed at the same access point as the server including the Standard Snow leopard Macs.
I am thinking maybe to reinstall the server OS to see what happens?
Was supposed to be a simple job. Both switches are physically exactly the same. Pull a cable out of port 1 and stick it in port 1 of the new switch etc plug it in and turn it on????

HELP! Macbook Pro lag with automatic graphics switching

Hi people,
My macbook pro (2010 edition) recently got laggy. I have no idea whether it is because I installed too many applications or if a hidden application is eating into my RAM. When I turn off the automatics graphics switching to the more powerful Nvidia graphics card, the lagging disappears completely. However, with the switching turned on, lagging occurs in just about every function I use, whether it is to check Microsoft Entourage email, surf safari, or scroll along my dock. The lag is not significant, but many less than a half second of freezing and then resuming. Videos streamed online become more laggy.
This did not happen before, although I vaguely remember having the automatic graphics switching turned on perpetually when I first bought my MBP as an energy saving measure.
Does anyone experience this same problem with the graphics switching. Looking for serious help. If not, I think I might try restoring my MBP to its factory settings and see if that helps.
I updated all software on OS X, running on 4gig ram. I am not sure if it is a memory problem because of the graphic switching situation I mentioned earlier.
Somebody help me.

Thanks Clinton,
I had a funny feeling that would be my only option. It becomes very difficult in my part of the world to get to an Apple store (the nearest one is nearly 2 hours away).
I would love to find out what the cause is and possible remedies.
Although far from convenient this maybe my only option.
Thanks for you help.
If anyone else has experienced similar issues and already received advice after a trip to the Apple store I would be interested to know more about your experiences / possible solutions.
Regards,
Phil

Hi HARISH INDIA,
That is not good but lets see if we can get it back to life. If you can, see if you can put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you can get it to restore, it will erase everything off your iPhone. If you have a back up in iTunes or iCloud then you can put that on after the restore is complete. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Getting this messg on Factime "could not sign in, check your network connection", but I have Wifi activated and working with internet?? what can I do?

Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi. Open Safari and see if it connects.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
