Wireless access issue on 1 of 2 laptops

I have a WRT54G router. I have an Apple G5 desktop wired to the router. I also have an Apple G4 latop that operates wirelessly
without any problems. I was just issued an XP laptop from work. I have verified and re-verified the wep key. My XP machine sees the network but can't access it. I also verified that the mac address for the wireless card is on my pc list. I am sure that the problem is so simple but I just can't see it.

Did you ever get an answer to your problem I have a similar one with an older wireless router and Broadcom on XP.  I have two other XP devices using Intel Pro Wireless and they both work fine.  Spent an hour with Compaq tech support and with Linksys with no answers

  • Wireless access issue

    Hi,
    We are using Cisco 1242 wireless access point for our client. using SSID and wep they are able to access the wireless network.as a part of the client standards we are not broadcasting the SSID.manually we will configure every thing for user computer.now the problem for some of the user is they are unable to wirelss network & even they are unable to view the AP in available network but the same laptop is working in the home. wht we observed is when he comes from unsecured zone to secure zone which is my access point he is facing this problem. for trouble shooting purpose i have broad casted the SSID. and now he can able to view my AP's SSID.
    Some one please help me how to trouble shoot this issue with out broadcasting.

    I have seen this when clients have old drivers. Compare the driver version with clients that work to those you have issues with.

  • Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files?

    TC late 2008. I want to give Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files? I have tried to locate "Guest" accounts in my Airport Utility with no luck and I do not understand my options. Example: Could I add a Linksys Wireless-G Cable Gateway router before or after my TC and not have a security problem?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Guest networking requires a "simultaneous dual-band" AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule. Those weren't introduced until 2009.
    Are the files you want to protect on your Time Capsule or on your Mac? You can protect files on your Time Capsule with a password. In AirPort Utility look at the Disks panel, File Sharing tab.

  • Have an Airport hooked up to a Cable modem, gives wireless access to 1 laptop but on to anything else

    I have an Airport hooked up to a Cable modem. Give wireless access to my MAC Book Pro, connects to my Ipad but will not have internet access, tried a different Airport with the same results. Please help.

    Thanks for the info.  We will try a shortcut first and hopefully it will work.
    On the Mac.....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Express, then click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
    Click the Internet Connection tab just below the Internet icon
    Make sure that the setting for Connection Sharing is set to Share a public IP address
    Click Update at the lower right and wait a minute for the AirPort to restart
    Now power off both the cable modem and the AirPort Express
    Wait 10 minutes. Longer will not hurt at all
    Power up the modem first, and let it run for 5 minutes by itself
    Then power up the AirPort Express
    Check to see if multiple devices can now connect

  • Is there a fix for the MBP wireless dropping issue?

    I began to experience the Macbook Pro dropping wireless connectivity on my very 1st Apple in 2008.  At the end of the day my machine was replaced with a new Macbook Pro mid 2010.  It appeared to be working just fine until about 2-3 months ago when I started dropping my wireless printer connection.  I searched the internet hoping for a driver update from HP or something from Apple and each time I found something, the problem still existed.  I even thought that by upgrading to Lion would resolve any issues that I have with my MBP wireless connectivity issue.  After upgrading to buying a new router, new printer and upgrading to Lion; the wireless dropping issue still remains unresolved!  I know there are several hundred in not thousands of people who are having the same problem so what are we supposed to do?
    When my 1st MBP was replaced in 2010 I had to stop working because I was diagnosed with "Failed Back Surgical Syndrome" and was in the process of applying for disability.  Something in the back of my mind said that I needed to purchase Apple Care for this new replacement however I had used all of my savings & retirement to sustain life for me and my family that there was nothing for Apple Care.  If it weren't for my church and family I am not sure what I would do during the 18 months of no income while waiting for a decision only to receive an appeal until I findly stood in front of an Administrative Law Judge who heard my case and granted me disability.  Besides there was no way I could ask anyone for money to purchase a warranty for a top of the line laptop while the country was falling off an economical cliff.
    I broke down and called Apple Support and was told that I qualified for technical assistance regarding the upgrade to Lion a few weeks ago.  The tech on the phone had me run some disk utility tests and had me repair permissions which she said could be the cause of the problem.  I willingly went along with her in hopes that this was indeed the fix.  However, within 10 minutes of hanging up the phone my MBP began to drop it's wireless connection to my new HP printer and also the Internet.  Hence my question above is what I am really looking to have answered!  What is the fix to this problem that so many people are having issues with?  I couldn't afford to purchase Apple Care back in 2010 and I can't afford to purchase a new 2011 machine today if that truly is the fix!
    I will be disabled for the remainder of my life and I have grown dependent upon my computer to stay in touch with friends and colleges from work.  I worked for the IT Group at Wynn Resorts and I can say that the type of service Appple is providing it's customers is not what I learned over the past 25 years with Mr. Wynn.  Why can't Apple get the simple concept that it's customers are it's life line and keeps them in business.  I need help and I don't know what to do nor where to turn.  It would be different if Apple acknowledged the issue and said they were working on it however they aren't.  I plead to Apple to help me fix my notebook so I can stay connected to the outside world vs. couped up inside my home.
    Best Regards,
    Scott Leavitt

    I am simply lookig for some help not an argument.  I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts.  I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another.  As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP.  This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
    I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue.  I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion.  In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues.  I am able to browse the internet as much as I want.  I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
    In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems?  Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best?  BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
    In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time.  Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. --  Thanks

  • Determining which wireless access point a computer is connected to?

    Apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum...
    I am working in a large open space where there are multiple overlapping wireless access points -- not Airports but from another vendor. Unfortunately, several computers are experiencing wireless performance and dropout issues. I think the problems may be because the laptops (both PCs and Macs) are connecting to a more distant access point across the open space which is more "line of sight" than the closer access point. We can't confirm this theory, however, because I can't pinpoint which access point we're connecting to. This is possible with a PC, but I can't find such a piece of software for my PowerBook. Is anyone aware of such a utility?
    Thanks so much.
    Brita

    Air Traffic Control widget. Search the download section for this useful widget. This widget lists all wi-fi access points, shows what channel each one is on, what the signal strength is and some vendor information.
    Whichever access point you are connected to is listed in italic on the list. I like the fact that it is a widget as it makes it very easy to access.

  • Virgin Broadband wireless connection issues

    Hi guys,
    I have setup a wireless network in my house and have a virgin broadband optical router. I have connected a belkin wireless access point to this router.
    The problem is that my macbook pro refuses to connect to the network. I had this issue when trying to connect via ethernet as well. I cannot seem to get anything to work. I have tried DHCP, DHCP manual, manual connections, with DNS, without DNS, there doesn't seem to be anything that works right now.
    I get four green lights when I run the Network Diagnostics application and cannot get it to budge past that.
    Any thoughts?

    Hey BDAqua,
    Thanks for the welcome. Nice to know someone cares!
    I don't think it is an IP issue as both connect to the WLAN fine and have the address 192.168.2.xxx for each machine. The Wireless Access Point is seperate to the router so there'll be two IP addresses surely?
    As I stated in the initial message I have tried using the DNS settings of the connecting laptop with the one that doesn't connect and it didn't make any difference.
    I've tried to find out the IP address that the router is using but to no avail. Netstat gave me diddly.
    I think it is a connection protocol mismatch which is really annoying.
    Any thoughts on how to find out the router's IP address? That could be a start no?
    Cheers

  • MiFi 2200 wireless connection issue

    I have similar issues as I have seen others post.
    I can access the internet if I direct connect the mifi 2200 direct to my laptop.
    The mifi 2200 does connect wirelessly but it has limited connectivity status and the internet is not accessible.
    The other oddity is whether I have the mifi 2200 directly connected thru the USB cable or wireless I am unable to connect to the device's IP address.
    I can't figure out if it is a device issue or configuration issue.
    I am presently waiting for tech support to call me back. 1.5 hours last night with tech support was no help.
    Techs suggestion: take your laptop and mifi 2200 to a Verizon store for help... uhh NO.
    Any body got any other suggestions while I wait for my call back?

    PDCLarry, Good know that I should not be able to get to the mifi's console if I have the device tethered.
    But I still can't get to the console thru the wifi connection, still has limited connectivity status. The vz access sw that is on the mifi had a FW upgrade exe file. No update was done, newest version currently installed and yes it is 159
    I tried the paperclip reset with tech support with no luck and have done it again, holding the reset down for 15+secs
      I knew I should have just gone to the chill cook off instead of jacking with this thing all day.... Very annoying.
    I'm having the same issue. I have two laptops ... one with Windows XP and the other with Windows 7. I tether the MiFi to my WIndows 7 box and it works. But when I make it a hotspot the Windows 7 box won't connect but the XP box will.
    What I have noticed in the admin of the MiFI is that  the Windows 7 box is connecting via ARP while XP connects via DHCP. So the IP address assigned to the Windows 7 box is outside of the MiFi's DHCP (192.168.1.24) range while the XP box is within the range (192.168.1.2).
    So if you are using Vista or Windows 7 we need to find a way to change the wireless adapter from connecting via ARP to DHCP. Or maybe increase the DHCP range of the MiFi device to include the ARP range.
    I'll test some more and send an update,

  • Various wireless connection issue

    Hi, i am Drei. one of the technical support of HP for Mac computers / OS  Let's name the routers that have issues with the connection or even declining the printer to gain connectivity to it 1. Xfinity from comcast2. Arris from time warner3. Linksys, either a personal router (w/ smart access)4. Hitron technologies from canada ISP's Let's begin with xfinity router You have the get the router's IP address first ex: 10.0.0.1 (for mac this is under the network preferences under the advance and TCP/IP tab) Username : adminPassword : password 1. Access the GUI (Graphical user interface) of the router using whatever web browser you have2. Get to the "Gateway"3. Click "Connection"4. Click "WIFI"                Note: You have to check if you see something that says 2.4GHz and 5GHz If does, your router is a dual band router and you will need to change the SSID of the 5GHz to separate the mix band / Frequency in the radio radius.   How to change it? Click the "edit" on the 5GHz channel / Freq Then add other characters on the SSID ex. SSID : "HPTechDrei" to "HPTechDrei-5GHz"Then look for the option that says "SAVE" or "Apply" (This doesnt apply on XFINITY alone, it also applies to the entire routers with dual band capabilities)     If you have a single band router which only has a 2.4GHz freq (XFINITY), Just make sure that the router is on AUTO Channel not on 1, 2,3,4, etc. Why? this is to NOT to exhaust the router and to avoid any problems (in a long period of time)   Next step: Go to "GATEWAY" again and select "FIREWALL" and select "CUSTOM" and again save the settings or apply the settings       Note: Do not put any CHECKS on the check box  Let's move on to the next step: Let's make this short, Bottom line is to get to the wireless settings of the printer and select "RESTORE NETWORK DEFAULTS" (This applies for printers that have front panel guides) This is the time you either connect the printer in so many ways such as via Auto wireless connect using HP utility, USB SOW using USB cable and HP Utility, Stand alone Wireless setup Wizard, or the advance part via Ad-HOC and accessing the Embedded web server of the Printer (Same as a router GUI) Last is just to readd the printer under the system preferrence for Mac  This is it for now. XFINITY Business router, it has a different method to make the printer connected or even for the Mac to see the printer in the NETWORK  If you have problems you can call 1800-474-6836 to get help (You are lucky enough if the agent who gets your call is knowledgeable about router access and configs), if i am available on the floor to help the agent who has gotten your call or email me at [email protected] As much as i want to put all of the tips and tricks here for the router configuration, it would take me days to write it all down. Cheers mates

    Steve,
    Thanks for the quick reply. I have checked the logs on all our devices with AP's connected and found no reference to BPDU/STP messages. Is there a better method to discover a loop situation as this event happened on 12/4, last Thursday.
    My understanding is that since we use a WLC the ports that the AP's are plugged into should have this configuration: 
    interface GigabitEthernet0/1
     description Wireless Access Point
     switchport access vlan XX
     switchport mode access
     mls qos trust dscp
     spanning-tree portfast
    However, I just started a project to refresh our access devices and review configs. I found that some people recommend a config like this:
    interface GigabitEthernet0/1
     description WAP
     switchport access vlan XX
     switchport mode access
     mls qos trust dscp
     spanning-tree portfast
     spanning-tree bpduguard enable
    Wouldn't using the second port config allow me to identify the problem AP and prevent a potential loop being created due to the port being placed in an err-disabled state upon receipt of a BPDU message?
    Could the bridge between the wireless and wired network be caused by a laptop being connected to the wired and wireless networks at the same time? That is a likely scenario here as we have dozens of laptop users in our client base. Any other scenarios that might result in this situation?
    Thanks again.

  • AC 5.31 not seeing wireless access points

    We have a single image that is used for all of Lenovo / IBM laptops, T40, T60, T61, T42, T500. On the T40 I encounter issues with access connections from the get go, it does not see any wireless access points. Also does not seem to be the program managing it as windows wireless networks icon pops up saying wireless networks found, upon clicking on the icon I see quite a few available.I do not see this happening on my other laptops, I have attempted to remove AC and uninstall the wireless lan card only to run into the same issue upon reinstalling it.
    Please help,
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    sorry for late quesiton, but how does it looks with the current Access Connection?
    I assuem ,you are using XP. Correct?
    Please describe this situation a bit more , likewifi driver verison, MTM of the , or at least one affected machine etc.

  • Forgetting WiFi password, and not connecting to wireless access point automatically??

    I'm using (until tomorrow when I get a MacBook Pro which HOPEFULLY won't have the same problem) a pre 2007 Macbook which is running Mac OS X 10.5.8. It was previously owned by my brother and passed onto me about 4 months ago. Within that time I've had nothing but problems with the WiFi connection!
    The first issue would have to be that if I put the MacBook to "sleep" rather than turning off, it disconnects from WiFi during that process. Fine, that's to be expected. But when I wake it up, it's not only disconnected, but I have to re-enter my WiFi password in order to reconnect. Is there some reason that it will not remember the password through this sleep process? Turning off and on normally works fine, and it connects automatically, but not when it sleeps.
    The second problem is equally confusing to my mind. In my house, we have a wireless access point upstairs (we have 3 floors after having our attic converted). All characteristics (name, password etc) are the same on the access point as on the main router downstairs. Every device in our house, included a couple of android phones, a tablet, and two laptops running various versions of Windows, all connect to this wireless access point with no problem at all. None of them have been "set up" to do so, in that they detect it as part of the same network and join it automatically. But for some reason, my MacBook won't do it? At first I would assume that perhaps it's due to the age of my MacBook and maybe some flaw in the old operation system, but my iPhone 4S running iOS 7 doesn't connect to this access point either. Is this some weird security thing that Apple use in their devices??
    To make things even more frustrating, the MacBook's issue of remembering the WiFi password means that when I come back downstairs and into range of the main router, it's forgotten the password again and I have to re-enter it to reconnect.
    Can some PLEASE offer some kind of assistance? I'm getting a brand new MacBook Pro tomorrow and if it's an OS issue then I assume I won't have it anymore, but I'm desperate to solve this issue one way or another considering this machine will be staying in the family and in this house so will pressumably have the same issues.
    Thanks in advance guys! If I've not given enough info, just ask

  • WRT1900AC as Wireless Access Point

    I'm trying to set up a WRT1900AC as a WAP.  I have the device hardwired to the ethernet.  I was told by Linksys support to place it in bridge mode, but I'm trying to figure out if that will cause the WAP to connect to the router wirelessly instead of obtaining connectivity through the ethernet. What I don't want is for it to go laptop to WAP to router wirelessly.  I would like for it to go laptop to WAP wirelessly then WAP to router via ethernet. I initially set this up as a static IP and disabled DHCP.  The first time I had it set to obtain an IP automatically, but I couldn't access the config page anymore.  Had to do a hard reset.  (I was able to access the internet through the WAP). I then configured it by selecting a static IP, specified the IP (10.0.1.3), used my router's address as the gateway (10.0.1.1), etc.  Under device settings, I named it livingroomap but when I tried to specify 10.0.1.3 for my IP address, it would instead assign it outside my subnet (it was assigning 176.180.x.x). Furthermore, when I put this in bridge mode, I'm unable to activate a guest network.  I wanted the downstairs WAP to serve as the point for guest network (since it's on the main floor).  I wanted to limit the guest network to 2.4 GHz only. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

  • T61 Wireless Connectivity Issue - can not connect with secure wireless sites

    I have a T61 using Windows XP. The internal wireless card was factory installed and has not been upgraded.
    My home Internet is Comcast high-speed.
    When I take my laptop to a coffee shop, business or other location with a secure wireless network that requires a password, I have not been able to log on. I can see the wireless networks available and can click on the appropriate one, but I never get a window/pop-up box/screen in order to allow me to enter the wifi network's user name and password.
    Is this a firewall issue, wireless card issue...or?
    I can access unsecured wireless networks where a password is not needed.

    Hi lisapapp!
    One more thing to check: Is your Windows XP up to date? Older XP releases do not support the newer wireless encryption types which are now in common use (WPA, WPA2). Make sure you have SP3.
    I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

  • Satellite U940 PSU6VA - Wireless connectivity issues

    _*My specifications:*_
    *Model:* Toshiba Ultrabook (Satellite U940 PSU6VA-00S002)
    *Operating System:* Windows 8.1 x64 (upgraded from Windows 8 x64)
    *Wireless adapter:* Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2200
    *Wireless adapter driver version:* 15.10.0.12 (which is the latest for my device)
    I have had this Ultrabook since February 2013, and throughout that period I have always had wireless connectivity issues, even after performing a factory reset. My wireless icon fluctuates between three states:
    * Internet access
    * Limited (in which case I cannot connect to the internet or any device on the network)
    * Not connected - connections are available (and if I try to make it connect to the network, it will fail)
    Sometimes my computer would instantly reach the "Internet access" state upon startup, and would remain in that state. Other times, it would be "Limited" for several minutes after starting up my computer before it finally connected, and even then the connection would drop out every now and then. At the worst, it would remain either "Limited" or "Not connected" indefinitely, no matter how many times I reset my wireless adapter or restarted my computer.
    Until recently, I had always thought that these issues occurred randomly. However, I recently noticed that I always have a perfect connection whenever there are no other computers connected wirelessly to my home router, and I always experience issues of varying degrees when there is at least one other computer (or even a smartphone) connected wirelessly to the router. If there is another computer connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, this does not cause any problems; it is only wireless connections that interfere with my computer.
    It is only this computer that has these problems; the other computers in my house never experience these issues, no matter how many computers are online. Also, my computer does not only experience these issues with my home router; it has the same issues on my university's wireless network.
    My question is, how can I fix this? Is this a known bug, or is my wireless adapter defective? I know I can connect using an Ethernet cable where possible (I never have problems with Ethernet connections), but this is not always possible at university.

    I just checked the page you linked to, but it recommends that laptop users obtain their drivers from their OEM rather than from Intel.
    I had already checked for driver updates through both Toshiba Service Station and Device Manager (and checked both again just now). Toshiba Service Station tells me that there are no updates available, and Device Manager tells me that "the driver software for your device is up to date".
    Should I update to Intel's latest driver anyway? If so, should I also install the Windows 8.1 version of "Intel PROSet/Wireless Wifi Software"?

    I have found the WLAN channel setting in Device Manager and I will test it when I get the chance. But how do I change the WLAN standard?

  • No wireless access with Windows XP Pro (SP2) on Macbook Pro

    Hello,
    Just installed Windows XP Pro (SP2) on my new Macbook Pro using Bootcamp Beta. The installation has gone fine with the exception of wireless access to the internet through my Airport home network.
    I've tried all the other configuraton wizards on XP...no joy.
    The three other macs in the house (2 wireless, 1 ethernet) and one Windows laptop (wireless) are all fine and dandy.
    Any suggestions on what to do?

    Make sure that your Ethernet Adapters are working properly
    If there is an red X or a yellow ! next to any ethernet adapter then try to reinstall the drivers.
    (you can reinstall the drivers via the installation cd or double click on the hardware device under device manager. there should be a reinstall drivers button in there. point it to the CD that you burned from bootcamp)
    (there will be a couple of devices that are not working properly.)
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)
