WiFi issue with MAC address

I've been using MAC filtering as part of my home network wireless security for years. This means inputting the MAC address of every device and computer that I want to have connect to my network. So I get my new WiFi + 3G iPad on May 28th and look in Settings to find the MAC address so I can input it into my router info. The router (D-Link) says that it's not a valid MAC format, presumably because it begins with E8 instead of the 00 that all my other devices have. I ended up having to disable MAC address filtering in order to have my iPad connect to my WiFi network. Does anybody have any comments or ideas about how I can get the router to recognize a MAC that begins E8:06 etc.?
Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I am using MAC filtering on my network using a Linksys router (WRT300N) and had no problems adding our iPad to the MAC table. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the first portion of a MAC address is unique to the manufacturer, so unless all of your wireless devices are from the same manufacturer (at least the wireless component of the device), then it isn't likely that all of your MAC addresses will start with the same digits. Make sure when you enter the MAC address that you include the colon in between each pair. My Linksys won't accept the MAC address without them. As someone else recommended, you may also want to see if there is a firmware update for your router that addresses this issue. Good Luck.

  • Is weblogic 8.1 sp4 maps with 'Mac' address while installing.

    I have issue with weblogic which is running currently, I have decided to copy the dump to different system and run. Will this work, does the new system require same IP address and 'Mac' address(Physical address) as old system. Is weblogic 8.1 installation maps with 'mac' address? please awnser.

    Hi,
    The license.bea file includes the ip addresses that are are authorized. This is not MAC sensitive. If you are not transitioning your IP address to the new system, you will need a new license.bea file. Either use elicense.bea.com or open a support case for this.

  • Has anyone had an issue with group addressing in OS X 10.9 Mail

    Has anyone had an issue with group addresses in Mail after installing Mavericks?  Both my MBP-15 and my Mac Pro stopped automatically filling in the addresses when I typed the name of the group that I have in Contacts, after updating to Mavericks.  Prior to updating they worked just fine.

    The first is appropriate if you want to send as an undlisclosed resicpient. The second method shows all addresses.

  • WiFi issues with Curve 8530

    Hi,
    I am having major WiFi issues with my Curve 8530. Everytime I connect to my wireless router, it takes a long time to connect to BIS, and then if I try to use basically any data at all, my router drops my Curve 8530. Sometimes it stays connected, but I cannot use App World at all, and email, and web browsing is all over the place in terms of speed, sometimes it is fast, while sometimes it is slow, and most of the time it stalls while loading a page. How do I configure my router for use with BIS and have it not drop my Curve 8530 everytime I use data over WiFi? BIS works perfectly over my cellular carriers network, so BIS is activated on my device. I have tried giving my BB a static IP, but that did not solve anything. My router is a Netgear WNR2000. Also, I have the latest device software installed on my BB, and all of my apps are up-to-date.

    Hi,
    Have you had any luck and resolving your problem?
    We have a similar problem but it's with iOS devices where only one can connect at a time. We have about 10 that need to connect. All other laptops and tablets connect fine.
    Power cycling the AX411 fixes it temporarly.

  • I have an issue with the address browser in mail in Yosemite

    I am using IOS 10.10.1 now on an iMac and have discovered an issue with the address browser in mail.
    Previously in my pending to send email toolbar there was a contacts icon which I clicked  on to display my contacts list. I could hold down the Command button and select as many contacts I wanted (often up to 100), then select the field to send (to, ccc, bcc) and the contact would appear.
    Now, I have to click the + sign at the end of the field line, and select recipients one at a time. Not only that, but I have to click twice to get to the email address, once on the name and then the email address drops down under the name and then I click on the email address. When I do that the drop down box disappears and the recipient's email address goes to the field. I have tried all combinations of buttons to be able to choose multiple addresses but haven't found the right one yet.
    An Apple Support guy told me to open my regular Address book, and hold down the command button to choose multiple recipients then drag them to the field on my already opened send email.
    This is one way around the issue (which wasn't an issue in Mavericks) but where some recipients have two or more email addresses listed in my contacts it means I have to manually go through the finished list on my emails to make sure the most desired one was selected. What a pain.
    Also, previously, where I was sending out many emails and wanted to stop say half way down my list, and send, I could come back to that list for the next email and see where I'd got up to.
    I don't want to make groups because my recipients vary depending on what I am sending so my lists change constantly.
    Any suggestions?
    Last point...who archives? On my regular email page I now have the Archive icon to the left of my Delete icon which I would prefer was to the left, first in the line as this is the icon I use mostly. With Folders, my Sent and Trash lists, who needs to archive?
    Cheers,

    I can help you only with the placement of the icon placement -- if you right-mouse click on the toolbar, then select Customize Toolbar, you can move an icon to where you want it to be.

  • Is Apple aware of the Wifi issue with the IOS8 upgrade?

    Is Apple aware of the WiFi issue with the IOS8 update?  If so, what are the doing about it?

    Ipad, wifi stops working and I have to restart my iPad and log in again.  It only stays logged into my wifi for a short while then it drops it again.  I followed instructions from other threads to reset my IPad and my router...still having issues.  The same thing happened the last time I updated my IOS.

  • 802.1x authentication with mac address

    Hi guys,
    there is a strange requirement from one of our customer,
    they want us to do 802.1x with mac address authentication and they dont want the pop-ups which ask
    for username, password and domain.
    is it possible??
    can i avoid popping up the username password with 802.1x and that too with mac address???
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Jvalin

    Hi,
    The feature which you are looking for is possible in case of wired 802.1x. This feature is called as the MAC-Auth Bypass and is done mostly if the client machine is not 802.1x capable. However nowerdays it is used even if the machine is 802.1x capable.In this we enter the MAC address of the machine in the user database e.g. Active Directory. When you connect the client machine to the Switch, if we have MAC-Auth Bypass enabled on the port, it would take the MAC address of the machine as the username without any prompt for username and password.
    A windows server admin can easily push a group policy which disables the 802.1x on the client machine and it would only respond to the MAC-Auth Bypass.But first you would have to make sure your switch has the Mac-Auth Bypass in the IOS.

  • Domain authentication with mac address restrictions

    I am in a branch office and I have one WLC 5508 and one ACS 4.2 with three WLANs:
    WLAN1 with SSID1: for company computers and laptops
    WLAN2 with SSID2: for ipads and tablets
    WLAN3 with SSID3:  for guests
    I am asked to configure WLAN2 as “WLAN2: Provides the Wi-Fi connectivity to ipads and tablets, with back end security using domain authentication with mac address restrictions.

    You would need to create a seperate policy and be able to have a seperation between the two policies... It's kind of hard to explain, but you would have for example:
    Policy 1:
    Wireless user on this SSID WLAN1
    AD on this AD Group (Machine)
    Policy 2:
    Wireless user on this SSID WLAN 2
    AD on this AD Group (USer)
    Thanks,

  • WiFi Issue with S850

    I am facing WiFi issues with my S850 phone. It does connect to wifi network but browsing does not work. It is same for all the wifi networks. I am not able to browse internet or any other work which req net connectivity,

    can you try do a factory restore then just use the phone without changing anything in settings. I am not sure if this is caused by settings or a hardware issue.
    If after doing a factory reset and problem persist then bring it to the service center.

    Are there compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard V. 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 when installed on a PowerMac G5? I understand the Leopard upgrade is okay on the later Intel Mac, but what about my G5 PowerPC Mac?
