Wifi connection with netgear router DG824M - one solution

I have had some problems with connecting iphone via wifi with my home router
Netgear DG824M
I'm still having a problem with the encryption issue but have at least found one solution to another security issue and thought it might help others so i am posting:-
If you have mac address filtering turned on (netgear describes this as only "trusted PC's" can connect) , you may find that you get an IP Address clash when you try to connect your iphone (or some other apple equipment)
I found that this resolved if i selected an "reserved IP address" for the iphone - in my casei chose 192.168.0.10 (since the router allows up to .51)
(the phone otherwise took 192.168.0.3 which clashed with another device)
This was not an issue when "trusted pc's" feature was turned off on the router

Ok guys. This is the simple way i used to connect my iPhone to my Netgear router.
1. In your iPhone, go to Settings>General>About. Then, scroll down to "Wi-Fi Address". This is your MAC address. This you will need in order to authorize your phone in your Netgear page (which usually looks something like XXX.XXX.X.X (where "X" are numbers)).
2. Log in to you Netgear page.
3. On the blue left panel of the screen, click on "Wireless Settings". A new page comes up.
4. Click on "Setup Access List".
5. Click on "Add" to enter the require info needed for your phone to gain access to your network.
6. On "Device Name" I entered "iPhone". This name is irrelevant for i named my iPhone differently and using just "iPhone" worked. So enter whatever name you wish, but keep it simple.
7. Now, on "Mac Address" (the single most important info here) enter the number you obtained in Step 1. Make sure you enter it with the colons (:).
8. Add and apply, and wait for the blue bar at the top of the screen to do its thing. It will take only a few seconds to update the network.
That's all! Connect and enjoy!
I hope this was helpful. Let me know if it worked at [email protected]

How can i fix my wifi connection with my router

how can i fix my wifi connection with my router?

I think I'm having a similar problem, my wifi disconnects when a bluetooth device is connected to the MBA.
I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) with WiFi and Apple Trackpad. I'm unable to use the trackpad(bluetooth) and wifi at the same time. If I turn off the trackpad then the wifi works fine and if I shutoff the wifi then the trackpad works fine. This configuration was working fine prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
I experienced the same problem at home and at the office.
Additional test:
I turned off the bluetooth trackpad and connected my bluetooth headphones to the MBA. The wifi disconnected as soon as I paired the headphones with the MBA.
I have had no problems with the MBA's keyboard or integrated trackpad.

Wifi connections with netgear

Just had new Netgear wireless router set up by cable company and everytime my computer is in sleep mode or battery saver it take forever to find the router. Any way to speed the search up?
Imac with Maverick.

Now have the HH3 - and it is NOT possible to set any IP Address Reservation at all, so it is rather insecure. Not being able to restrict what MAC's are recognised as being valid to connect to either the Ethernet or WiFi networks means that literally anyone can connect and use your line - adding their traffic to your use and potentially exceeding the monthly allowance. Plus they can have access to connected equipment and potentially sniff your data or install malware, spyware, Trojans, etc.
This is not what I expect from BT and strongly recommend they have the software/firmware re-written to include that security feature. I gather the Business version has it so why not the Home version?
I am now using my Netgear router/modem and have set it up to connect correctly - and to give me that level of security missing in HH3. In addition, my network printer server works properly - it needs a 'static' IP on the internal Ethernet network that the HH3 could not provide.
So very disappointed in the HH3, but at least I will not have my line being used by others without my knowledge and consent.

Slow WiFi Connection With New Router TP-Link W8960N

Hi Apple Support,
A few weeks ago I've purchased a TP-Link TD-W8960N wireless modem router so that I can share my WiFi internet with the following devices:
~ iMac running Snow Leopard OSX Version 10.6.7
~ iPhone
~ iPad
~ Mini-PC / Home Theatre PC (Running Windows 7)
At first my iMac wouldn't connect to the WiFi, but after changing it to Channel 11. My iMac successfully joined the WiFi Network.
But the past week my iPhone & iPad whenever I browse the internet it would respond very quickly.
But my iMac and Windows PC, some websites they would respond quick and several other websites it would not respond at all and takes such a long time to bring up the website.
I'm on a ADSL2 broadband connection.
Mac OSX version 10.6.7...
I tried also updating the router firmware...
My Current WiFi settings are:
Channel: 11
Mode: 11bgn (and I've also tried 11b, 11bg, and 11n only)
Bandwidth: 20Mhz (the other option is 40Mhz)
Fragmentation Threshold: 2346
RTS Threshold: 2347
DTIM Interval: 1
Beacon Interval: 100
Transmit Power: 100%
Wi-Fi Multimedia: Disabled
Any ideas would be greatly apprecatied...

If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.
It can get confusing but really it is simple. The newest is 802.11 AC and ic used with the newest Mac Computers made available in November 2013. So if you have the newest Airport Extreme that is 802.11ac and the newest computers that are AC compliant your speed will be 5 times faster than anything on the market right now.

Powerbook G4 WiFi connection to netgear router

I have recently bought a Powerbook G4 12 inch which is running OSX 10.2.3
I've installed an Airport Extreme card and want to connect to my Netgear WiFi router but don't know how to start.
I'm new to mac and have only used a laptop previously so sorry for my extreme ignorance.
Some of the other discussions mention a WiFi icon but I can't see this anywhere and so I'm not sure if the airport card is working or not but I suspect not.
Any help to get me started please
The G4 connects via the ethernet cable without any problems

You can check for the presence of the Airport card by going into System Profiler (I think that's the name, not sure because 10.2.3 is a bit old). Also, if the Airport wifi icon is not on the menu bar, go into your System Preferences, click Network, make sure the Airport network interface is enabled, and there should be a setting in there for displaying the Airport icon in the menu bar, that might not be turned on.
Once it appears, you should be able to click the Airport icon to reveal a menu with wifi networks within range, and select the name of your network in the list. It shouldn't be difficult. You should also be able to connect from inside the Network system preference, but using the Airport icon in the menu bar is easier.

Why does apple tv 2 lose connection with netgear router through a wired connection?

I have Apple TV 2 connected to a Netgear wnder3700 through a wired connection. The Apple TV is up-to-date. However, from day 1 (before firmware updates and currently) apple tv will lose internet connection. All other devices on the network remain connected. the only solution is to physically unplug the the apple tv and let it reconnect on reboot. Same issue exists on a wireless connection.

I would update the firmware of the router

New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,etc

New imac 27(Intel based,bought 2013) slow wifi connection with my Verizon fios actiontec router. All other wireless devices in the house(ipad 3gen,MacBook Air ,hp laptop) have a much faster connection. Should I change router settings to G only,switch channel from auto to maybe 6,channel width to 20mhz? Already changed security settings to WPA2. Currently router is running in mixed b and g mode.

If you have one computer running on G they will all run on G. All ROUTERS are backward compatible, in otherwords if you have a group of computers and all of them are N compatible and one or two are G They will all work but the N computers will run at N and those that are G will run at G speed not N.

Would like to print from laptop to printer at home. Printer is ethernet connected to NetGear Router

HP PAvilion dv1000, Windows XP
Would like to print from laptop to printer at home. Printer is ethernet connected to NetGear Router.
I had been able to print wirelessly from laptop to HP 7310 Officejet all-in-one, but now all I get is "document failed to print" message. I can get documents to print on this printer using my smart phone, but not the laptop.
I have used "find printer" button on print screen and can see the printer to select.
Any suggestions?
This question was solved.

Figured it out after looking at a few other posts...
Configured port to printer IP Address and now it is printing perfectly.
Thanks for having posts out there to review.

Loss of connection with Belkin router

I have been using a Belkin N450DB router with my Westell modem for over 2 months. Everything was fine until 4 days ago when my router lost connection. I have tried the self heal with the router and the troubleshooting with the modem. I currently have internet with just the modem hooked up but have lost connection 3-4 times this way over the past 4 days. I have no connection with the router connected now. It says wire unplugged. I was thinking it was the router but have found out another DSL customer in my town has the exact same issue and he has a different router. Did Verison reset some security programs that won't allow my router to connect or is Verison DSL having issues we are not aware of in Greenwood, DE? It is just strange that two residences are experiencing the same issues in different areas.

#1 What is the model of that Westell modem?
#2 When you said

are you saying that the router says that or are you saying your OS (and Version - for example Windows XP) is saying that?

Devices (iPad, iPhone) no longer can maintain wifi connectivity with time capsule

My iPad and iPhone can no longer maintain wifi connectivity with time capsule. Time capsule has connectivity to internet via Macbook, but not other devices. This started after upgrade of devices to s/w 6.0. Does anyone know if that could impact connectivity?

Yes, this is often reported with iOS 6.. there are definitely more wireless problems.
I recommend you reset the TC in the following ways.
1. Change all names to SMB type.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. that includes the TC itself, wireless and hard disk. I recommend a different name for 5ghz so you can force clients to that band without auto voodoo affecting it.
2. Use WPA2 Personal security only.. 8-12 character pure alphanumeric passkey.
3. Lock the wireless channels.. particularly for 2.4ghz.. pick one of the channels, out of 1, 6, 11 as these are the only ones that do not overlap.. test each in turn for the best and most stable. TC should pick the best itself but that is voodoo and I am preferring to run the system without black arts.

How can I fix an intermittent wifi connection with my MacBook laptop

I have experienced intermittent problems with the wifi connection on my MacBook (2006, 10.6.5 OSX) computer and noticed that other users have commented about this same issue. Not sure if the problem revolves around the updates from Apple or my wifi card but I only seem to loose my wifi connection with the MacBook. I have other Apple products, Iphones, Ipads and IMac and they all retain the wifi connection. Additionally, when I connect the internet cable directly to the MacBook, there is no loss of signal and I have no problem connecting to the Internet.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

After several unsuccessful attempts to resolve my intermittent wifi connection with a 2006 MacBook (I had service techs from Apple store, PeachMac and Computer Advantage check the intermittent wifi problem in store and they could not recreate this issue), I broke down and bought a new wifi card and installed it myself. The intermittent problem was resolved and my wifi connection works fine everywhere in my home. Ifixit's website has a great video that explains in detail how to remove and install a new wifi card and you will need the right tools and patience. Thanks to everyone that posted comments about this issue because the comments proved helpful in solving my problem.

We are looking for a site to site model. I want all the devices on the remote network to be on their own subnet. We need to be able to hit individual remote devices from the head end. The devices at the remote site in turn also need to be able to communicate with each other without having to use the VPN.

Not able to connect with my router, but other networks work ok.

I have a 2d generation iPod Touch. I can't connect to my home network that operates on a DLink DIR-628 router. However I can connect to other access points with no trouble at all. When my iPod tries to connect with my router, it asks for my password and I enter the password I think is correct, but it won't accept it. When I check the router web page there is no password visible. Does the problem lie with the Router or with the iPod Touch? I have three other computers and two wireless printers that are operating through the router with no problem at all.

Have you tried:
- Resetting your iPod:
- Resetting network settings on the iPod: Setting>General>reset>Reet Network Settins
- Powering off and then back on your router
- The troubleshooting here:

I can't receive my incoming mail. ESP is yahoo. Error msg says unable to connect with POP server. Any solution?

I can't receive my incoming mail in Mac Mail. ESP is yahoo. Error msg says unable to connect with POP server. Any solution? I am able to get my incoming messages via yahoo website but not through the Mail app.

Try this, if it is not the correct department, ask them for the number or to be transfered..
Call 1-800-318-0612 for Login Help
Also on most autmated systems, if you hit 00000, or ##### you can sometimes get thru to a person.
Is Yahoo your Internet provider? Do you have a local provider? ei:AT&T, SBC, cable co, check who you make your check or epatment to...etc, If so I would start there, but if no joy go to the "Mothership"
I may be wrong about this, (it's been a long time now) I may have deleted my mail account from Mail (after writing down all the info from all General/accounts, and the rest of the tabs, and then added a new account using my existing email address, and it may have "walked me thru the rest of the proceedure".
But like I said it was a long time ago 3-4 years, but that may have been the path I ended up taking, make sure to write all the info down in case you need to re-enter it all manually. Then try calling them.
All the best
