Wireless Adapter Address

Hi,
I'm need to find out the wireless adapter address for my Macbook because I cannot access wireless internet without giving the service providers this number. How do I get this number?
Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi reddish
Open System Preferences - choose Network, then 'Configure' & choose the 'airport' tab
the 'airport id' is the address you need - also known as the "MAC address"

  • Xbox 360 wireless adapter wont connect to Airport Express/cant find ip

    i have a time warner modem with the ethernet cable plugged into my airport express to create a wireless network in my house. my macbook and dell connect with no prob.
    the xb recognizes the airport express, shows it as connected with green bars, but when i try to log into xbox online, it says that there is no connection.
    i can plug in the ethernet cable from the xb to the airport ex and there is no problem. only when trying to use the wireless adapter.
    how can i stop this? also, how can i find my IP address?
    since the xb wouldnt connect and find my ip automatically, i tried to do it manually. when i go to terminal on my macbook and enter "ipconfig e0", i dont see an IP address.
    i have seen a lot of info on this but it mainly deals with airport extreme or those who are trying to connect to airport express with an ethernet cable.
    so if you can help me troubleshoot the wireless connection between my xb and my airport ex OR explain how i can find my IP address, i would be very grateful.
    FYI---the airport express was purchased in april, so i believe it is the new "n" model.
    thanks for all your help.

    Gary Sanborn, please share your tricks. I'm curious to know how you got it to work. I used to have the old Express and that worked just fine. The new version (n) doesn't seem to connect to xbox live. As previously stated, mine also shows "connected" and a strong green bar signal on the xbox but the text can't get passed "connected to live"... if I'm not mistaken.
    I heard about holding down the option button white selected the type of wireless connection and connecting to wireless b only. I would want to avoid this option. I don't want my express to run that slow. Please advice. Thanks in advance.
    By the way, I haven't tried it since recently upgrading to OS X 10.5.3. I wasn't sure if that affected airport's connectivity with xbox 360.

  • Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

    I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest).  I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work.  (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
    When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process:  IP Address.  I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for  DHCP Server enabled).
    I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that.  I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
    Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible?  If so, what am I missing here?  I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
    Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer!  I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
    Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

    I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub tab "Port range forwarding" 1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 2) On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 3) Now save the settings 4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration" and disable the UPNP and save the settings. 5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox ip address :- 192.168.1.20 subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 default gateway :- 192.168.1.1 Please assign the dns address on the xbox primary dns :- 4.2.2.2 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...

  • Having Trouble Connecting To Xbox Live using my router and wireless adapter.

    Okay, so this is kinda long but I'll try and speed through. Recently I moved from my old place to a newer place (larger) and before, my old spot worked perfectly, no troubles. Now, eversince i got my internet cable service re-hooked up I've had problems. My internet is fine, that's not the problem. It's my xbox live for my 360. My cable guy pretty much set up my living room with the main router and not my studio office which I keep my 360 in. Instead he told me it would be much easier to just go out and buy a wireless adapter for my PC to recieve the signal from my living room off the main family computer. Well, went out and bought a $80.00 wireless adapter top of the line and it works perfectly, I get the internet really fast. Problem is, my 360 will not connect now. It always says DNS failed. Well here's the problem. I have a Linksys router in my studio office that sits on top of my PC that i have connected to the ethernet of my PC, then in the 2nd or 1st port i have my 360ethernet wire connected to my xbox360. Still it says DNS failed. Shouldn't my router be getting the signal from my Wireless adapter that it's receiving from the living room? It's connected through the same computer yet it doesnt connect. It finds my I address, and it finds the network adapter yet it always fails my DNS. I've tried evern switching the xbox360 ethernet to the main ethernet port on my pc and that just makes me fail the IP address test. I need help guys. My wireless adapter for the pc is a Belkin but my router is a linksys and not sure if the 360 just doesnt recognize it or not. Is there settings I'm missing or something? Please help!!!
    The Burninator...

    On your 360 if u getting an error msg DNS failed,you can login to your router setup page and go to status tab, not the Static DNS1 and DNS2 numbers and u can give a static dns to your 360. its will resolve ur issue.

  • 802.11n: How can I force a wireless adapter to primarily associate to a 5Ghz radio and not to the 2.4Ghz one?

    Hi experts,
    I am playing with a Cisco 1142 AP. I have same SSID configured on both dot0 and dot1 interfaces. I have a test laptop and it has a Linksys dual-band wireless adapter. However the card always try to associate on the 2.4GHz. It will only associate with the 5GHz radio when I shut down the dot 0 interface. The laptop is running Windows XP SP3 and I'm using the windows wireless Zero configuration to configure the wireless. The following is the AP's configuration:
    dot11 ssid Guest-Wireless
       authentication open
       guest-mode
    interface Dot11Radio0
    no ip address
    no ip route-cache
    ssid Guest-Wireless
    antenna gain 0
    channel 2412
    station-role root

    no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding
    bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled

    bridge-group 1 block-unknown-source
    no bridge-group 1 source-learning
    no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding
    bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
    Is it something I can control through the AP or it's the laptop/wireless adapter's own behavior so I either need a new card or update it with a new firmware?
    Thanks!

    Leolaohoo,
    Thanks for quick reply! My laptop is just next to the AP. There is nothing but air between the laptop and the AP.
    I actually did speed tests on both 2.4 and 5 (with 2.4 disabled of course) and I got pretty much the same result: 46Mbps MAX. I don't know if it's the linksys n card is limiting the capacity of the AP. But for now I just want it to jump on 5GHz instead of 2.4GHz...
    Thanks,

  • Intel 3945ABG wireless adapter

    I have a wireless adapter problem.
    I am unable connect to my wireless modem using the wireless adapter. I can only connect with the Ethernet adapter and cable. I am unable to renew or release an IP address or get a manually set IP to work on the wireless network. Another laptop computer connects to the wireless modem fine.
    I tried downloading and installing the adapter driver from Lenovo, but that failed halfway through unpacking and transferring to the hard drive, with the message "access is denied" on C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\WLLANINT\Vista\Apps\v32\Thumbs.db.
    Does anyone have any ideas about my wireless network problem or how to successfully install a new driver?
    Many thanks
    Gil Lambert

    delete the thumb file then try to re-install.
    by the way, do not forget to switch the wireless button ( probably front side of your computer ) and make sure you activate wireless by pressing fn + f5 ( also make sure your function keys are working, if not, re-install power management )

  • WRT54G - How do i make my router find my xbox 360 wireless adapter?

    Can someone please help me? My wireless adapter is not getting anything. My ipod gets wifi from the router but no my xbox.

    All you need to do is forward ports on the router for XBOX-360 you got from the XBOX provider for the assigned static ip address & do the complete network power cycle & you will be able to play the games wirelessly!!!

  • Airport extreme connecting with xbox 360 wireless adapter problems...help!!

    Has anyone linked their xbox 360 wireless adapter to an Airport Extreme? I need help! Neither Apple nor Microsoft knew how to link the two devices. If anyone has successfully been able to make this work, your help will be much appreciated. Thanks guys

    Yes - Mine works no problem. I have found that I have to unplug the Xbox360 wireless adaptor and plug it back in occasionally (if the green light is on everything is fine). Are you using the correct WPA Key?

  • Just boot camped mid-2012 MBP using Apple's BootCamp 5.1.5621. However, no wireless adapter is listed in device manager

    [In Windows 8.1] When I access the Device Manager, it does not list my wireless adapter as one of the devices available. I have attempted to manually install the drivers from the BootCamp 5.1.5621 file.
    I've spent several hours attempting to remedy this but have only found threads explaining how to solve the problem if the 802 adapter is already listed in the device manager.

    I recently had some BT issue's in Win8 so I wrote a topic about this subject. Maybe you need to replace the Broadcom drivers as well.
    Please have a look here:

  • 2g Shuffle crashes wireless adapter

    Hello,
    I'm a dell machine with windows xp and whenever I plug in my new 2g shuffle I get an error message saying windows does not recognize my device and then it crashes my wireless internet connection. I am using a Linksys wireless adapter on my home machine. I moved my machine and hard wired and the shuffle worked like what you expect from all Apple products! I moved it back and reconnected to wireless plugged in the shuffle, same error message, wireless does not work and shuffle is not recognized by windows or itunes.
    Any ideas?

    Dell   Windows XP   1g shuffle, 2g shuffle, 1g mini, 2 5g 60 gig video

    After looking at another post I decided to try a powered usb hub, the shuffle works fine, no problems at all with any other devices using the usb ports. The shuffle works like it should, I just don't understand why that makes a difference, do I have a defective shuffle, is it using too much power from the usb port, should I exchange it?

  • WUSB54G - Wireless Adapter Causing BSOD

    Here is one for the support team. I wanted to connect another PC iwas working on to the internet via my WUSB54G wireless adapter. This was a fresh install, but an old computer. At the point in the installation where the adapter is connected to the USB port, Windows keeps shutting down and giving me a blue screen. Any advice?

    Did you try to install the adapter drivers and not the software ? If not you should try that...
    Make sure you connect the adapter to a different USB Port(don't use the port to which it's already connected)...
    Download the adapter drivers from here: http://home.cisco.com/en-us/wireless?referrer=www.linksysbycisco.com
    Once you have downloaded the drivers you need to unzip the file...After you unzip the file you should un-install the adapter drivers/software from Programs menu...Connect the adapter to a different USB Port and reboot your computer...Once the computer is rebooted you should see a message "Found new Hardware"...Select the option Install it from a specific location and click Next, then select Include this location in Search and browse to the place where you have unzipped all the files and select the Driver folder and click O.k...Then click Next and it should install the adapter drivers...
    NOTE : This installation doesn't install the software(Linksys Monitor)...
    Once the Adapter is installed, Click on the Start button >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections- Right click on the "Wireless Network Connection" icon and select "View Available Wireless Networks"- If you see your wireless network in the list, highlight it by 'single' clicking on it- Now click on the 'Connect' button below- If your wireless network is secured, it would ask you to provide the network key- Provide the wireless network key and confirm it again in the confirmation box and click "Connect". See if this corrects your problem...

  • Wireless adapter causing blue screen

    Hello,About a month ago on my Lenovo Ideapad Z580, I was using the internet when it said I was no longer connected.  When I tried troubleshooting, it reset the wireless connection adapter and gave me a blue screen.  When it restarted and I tried troubleshootingt it again, it enabled the adapter and worked fine.  Since that first time, this BSOD has happened every day, sometimes multiple times a day, but not everytime I am on the internet. I have tried doing a system restore at a few different points, but the restore always ends in an error.  I checked at the driver for the wireless adapter is up to date. Please advise on what I can do to fix this problem. Thank you,Stephanie

    The symptoms you describe could be symptomatic of a variety of things to include hardware/software issues, overheating caused by a failed processor fan, bad memory (RAM), failing or underpowered power supply, CPU overheating, motherboard, video card, faulty or unsigned device drivers, CMOS battery going bad, BIOS and firmware problems, dirty hardware components, programs hanging or unresponsive in the background, and even malware. If the computer is overheating, it usually begins to shutdown/restart on a more regular basis.
    If the machine is only crashing at home after establishing a connection but not at work when establishing a connection, then its probably an issue with your network configuration or something (i.e. wireless adapter) causing a conflict and not a malware issue.
    The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is usually due to a bad driver or faulty/incompatible hardware or software. This error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high.

  • Pavilion G7 wireless adapter stopped working and now will no longer boot.

    I bought a Pavilion G7 about 7 months ago. 
    After a couple of months, the wireless adapter stopped working, it just disappeared from the Device Manager (Win7 Home).
    I reset the computer to factory settings and it fixed that problem.
    One month after this, the wireless adapter problem returned, I tried to use system recovery to restore it to a previous point, no luck.
    I closed the laptop after this, didn't turn it off. 
    Opened it up and decided to watch a video I had on there, I had to pause the video halfway through (used Windows media player). Came back to continue watching and the screen was black. No lightbar activity, just blackness.
    I pressed a few buttons, nothing.
    Decided to do a hard reset (hold the power button for 8 seconds) then I left it and turned it on again, the blank screen returned, no signs of life, no boot, no HDD activity, nothing. The caps lock button was on, the wireless light (of course) was orange.
    What on Earth has gone wrong? What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks.

  • Wireless adapter Z-Com XG-703A doesn't work with WPA after reboot

    Hello everybody,
    Arch doesn't load kernel module arc4 during boot with usb wireless adapter Z-Com XG-703A. So WPA doesn't work and It can connect to only opened access points.
    I found two work arounds but I don't know how to fix the issue completely.
    1. Remove usb adapter and plug it in again (it causes arc4 module to load), then restart networking.
    2. rmmod p54usb, rmmod p54common, modprobe arc4, modprobe p54usb and after that restart networking.
    Could anybody help to fix the problem generally?

    Does the p54common get loaded again as well when you do modprobep54usb?
    If not, you might just put that into modprobe.conf blacklist.
    If it does get loaded as well, there might be another wireless module getting loaded that perhaps does cause problems. You can check that with
    mkinitcpio -v
    now, or with lsmod after a reboot before your workaround.

  • Can I use a USB wireless adapter with my iMac G4 Flat Panel (it has no Airport card).

    I have just salvaged an iMac G4 15-inch Flat Panel from the skip and now have it running Mac OS X Tiger 10,4. It has a 700mhz cpu, 80Gb hard drive and 512mb of Ram. No airport card is fitted so I was wondering if a USB wireless adapter could be used instead. I have a Belkin F5D8055ea USB wireless adapter fitted and the system recognises the device, this is as far as I have got as I am a complete novice on Apple/Mac machines. Anyone any ideas please?

    If the device is recognised, see if you can located your wi-fi network using Airport Utility.
