Wireless adapter can't see HH3

Hi. I have a Dell 1450 wireless adapter that has had no trouble seeing my previous HH2 but is completely unable to see my replacement HH3. Can anyone tell me why? Do I need a new wireless adapter (although it seems to work fine other than with the HH3) or are them some settings on HH3 I need to change?
Thanks!

The forum recently pointed me towards this wifi tool
http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/
It's really useful for seeing what Wifi signals are flying around. If you run it on the PC (I assume) with the Del adapter, it should tell you whether the adapter can "see" the network, even if it can't connect.

Wireless Router can't see other computers on network

I have a home network set up as follows:
Cable modem connected to a VOIP modem then it is connected to a 8 port switch.
I have 2 computers and a Linksys wireless router connected to the switch.
The 2 computers can see each other on the network.
When I connect to the wireless router I can access the internet but cannot see the other two computers on the network.
When I connect to the switch via a wire I can see the network.
Is the wireless router blocking my access to the network?
What can I do to be able to see the network through the wireless router?
Thanks,
Jethro

When using mini port with HDMI adapter, can only see front page (stars) will not display whats on screen??

Using a HDMI adapter on mini port the only picture on TV is the front Mac page (stars) and not whats on the Mac screen.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, after I posted my brain kicked in and I recalled that mid 09 were not audio compatible. not a big deal anyway since there are multiple ways to listen...
again thanks,

E4200 router - can't see 5ghz

I have e4200 router set up with different SSIDs for 2.4ghz and 5ghz. My laptop (Lenovo x220 with Intel 6205 wireless adapter) can't see the 5ghz network. I've tried changing the channel for the 5ghz network and it didn't fix the problem.
How do I fix?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks. That program was useful. I ran that program and saw only 24xxx kHz frequencies.
So I played around with some different settings and finally figured out how to fix. If anyone else has this problem, here's how I fixed it (using Windows 7):
1. Go to Control Panel -- Network and Internet -- Network and Sharing Center
2. Click on Change adapter settings on the left side
3. Right click on the wireless adapter and click Properties
4. Click the Configure button that is right under the wireless adapter
5. Click the Advanced tab
6. Select the Wireless setting; mine was set to 802.11b/g; change it to 802.11a/b/g
That fixed the problem and I could see 5ghz networks. For some reason, the adapter doesn't see 5ghz 802.11n networks unless it's looking for 802.11a networks - which is not intuitive. (It also works if the Wireless setting is just 802.11a, but then it doesn't see 2.4ghz networks.)
So bottom line is that the default settings in the Lenovo system were not set up to see 5ghz - which is not cool.

My microsoft mn-710 can't see my linksys router

my wireless adapter can see other routers in the neighborhood but can't see my own which is a few feet away from my computer... the strange thing is my mn-510 can see and connect with my router well i want to upgrade so i can get more mbps if any of yall can help me it would be appreciated

Well logon to www.linksys.com/download & follow the steps properly for selecting the router model number & version number correctly in order to select the proper device & download or rather save the file on the desktop please.
Open the setup page of the router using 192.168.1.1 by keeping the username blank & typing the password as admin & over there click the Status tab & click the sub-tab as firmware upgrade & browse it from the desktop & click upgrade & then try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!

T60 - No Wireless Adapter Installed - Help!

Hi.
I've got a T60 running XP. I can't connect to a wireless network, because the computer claims a wireless adapter can't be found. I tried downloading and installing a new driver for my network card, but that did not help. (The downloaded file was 6hcx05ww).
Please advise on how I can resolve this problem.
Thanks.

1. Hi have you tried to Rollback the drivers that were installed over the old ones, as this would solve the issue if you can see the hardware you have an issue with in the Device Manager.
2. Reboot and do a "Last Known Good Config"
3. Or do a system restore, if you have a point before you installed the new drivers this would fix the issue for you.
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.
All the best.

Some wireless clients can't discover or connection to local wired systems

Hi,
I've just upgraded my home wireless from an NetComm NB5540 + modem to a LinkSys X3000.
Internet access works fine for all devices, but some wireless devices can't "see" my Win7 desktop system that's on a wired connections to the router.
I've tried three devices...
Galaxy Note phone (running ICS 4.0.4) can discover and connect to file shares on my desktop system without any problems.
Asus Transformer Prime tablet (running JellyBean 4.1.1) can see the router on the local network, but can't see my desktop. Even if I manually type in the IP address it can't connect to it
Likewise my old WinXP laptop can see the router but can't see or connect to any other devices.
Any suggestions welcome.
Hugh
ps. I tried connecting the NetComm router with just Wifi configured to one of the ethernet ports on the X3000, so I've got two Wifi networks running in parallel. If I connect to this second WiFi network with any of the above devices then they can all discover and connect to my desktop system on the wired connection to the X3000.

Just to test network connectivity, why don't you ping the wired client from the wireless devices that are not able access it? Do post your results so we can further analyze this scenario. By the way, when you cascaded another access point (using the NetComm router) to the X3000, was it via LAN- LAN? Was the X3000 still the DHCP server for the wireless clients?

Itunes can't see the Airport Express that I'm connecting to... Wierd

I have my AE set up as a WAP on an ethernet system. I have iTunes over ethernet selected, but now my wireless box can't see the AE even though I'm sending this note over the AE. Does selecting iTunes over ethernet disable the iTunes over wireless?
The AE is connected to a router, so it is not distributing IP addresses.
I guess that I should also mention that it's preventing me from seeing other machines on the network and sharing my library.
Help??

Unless you've explicitly disabled "Distribute IP addresses" using Airport Admin Utility, your Express is set up as a router and is distributing IP addresses, which is consistent with the fact that you can't see the other machines.

Need help here! I'm out of options. Computer can't see the wireless network

Sorry for the novel, but I have to tell you what is going on with my computer. I also need to vent because I’m extremely frustrated. I want to make sure I give as much info as I can we can get this fixed. I’m done with trying to figure this out on my own!!!
I’m having a major issue with the wireless network connection on my desktop. I’ve tried everything and I can’t figure out what it’s doing.
First of all, my wireless router is set up correctly (according to the Sticky), has active security, and works fine. It has nothing to do with the router. I’m sure of it.
Here’s a quick history:
When I was at my first residence in Chicago and bought a Linksys wireless N router in May 2008. My computer was about 30 feet away from the router and everything worked fine. Always found the router and never lost connection.
I moved to a new place in September 2008 and used the same router, computer, etc. at my new place. The computer was only about 7 feet away from the router this time, but I used the wireless connection instead so I wouldn’t have a network cable lying across the floor. At first everything worked fine. No issues. Then, one day out of the blue, my desktop lost connection with the router. My router didn’t even appear as an Available Wireless Network. I rebooted everything and that seemed to fix it. OK, issue fixed, right? Wrong. It did it again the next day. I rebooted everything, but it still couldn’t find my router. It did see lots of other wireless routers in the area though so I know the wireless card was working. It just didn’t see my router.
This went on for a while. Sometimes it would see my router and connect then it would lose it again. I thought maybe it was the router going bad. Well, I have a notebook computer too so I tried it. It has found my router every time and has never lost connection. I had it sitting on top of my desktop even to see if there was some sort of dead spot in my condo, but the notebook found my router just fine.
Sometimes my desktop would see my router, but it wouldn’t be my network name. It would call it “Home” or something. I know it was my network because it was the only network with maximum (Excellent) signal strength. I’m thinking it must be some sort of association issue. For some reason it doesn’t associate my router as an available network. I don’t understand that.
I tried everything: Ad Aware, Live OneCare, registry cleaners, driver updates, restore points, pretty much anything I found in the forums. Nothing worked for long if at all. It’s like my desktop only finds my router when it wants to. Note: The only thing that would work sometimes was if I clicked “Repair.” Sometimes that would work. I finally gave up and connected my desktop via network cable and unhooked my wireless card. I never lost connection as long as it was hard-wired.
The drama continues. I recently moved to Iowa and set up my network here. I’m using the same router, same desktop and wireless card, same notebook computer, etc. I went ahead and tried the wireless card on my desktop again. It worked just fine! No connection issues at all. It connected and stayed connected. I thought, “Well, that’s strange. It must have been something with the condo in Chicago. Oh well!” It worked fine from February 5 until March 10. Now it’s doing it again!!!! The notebook is about 3 feet away and sees the router just fine.
Here are the facts:
I’m using a Linksys WRT300N Wireless-N router.
I’m using a Linksys Wireless-N PCI WMP300N Adapter (about 18 months old).
I’m running Windows XP on the custom built desktop and Windows Vista on the HP notebook.
I built this computer about 5 years ago and have not done any major upgrades for 2-3 years. The only thing I added was the wireless card. I also changed out the HD in January 2009 and did a data migration right before I moved to Iowa in February. All of the networking issues were going on well before I did the data migration though so it has nothing to do with that. In fact, I had my computer hard-wired into my router at the time of the data migration and the wireless worked fine (for a little while) after I moved to Iowa. So if anything, the data migration seemed to help with my wireless connection.
All drivers are up to date.
Using Windows Live OneCare and have run complete scan: nothing found.
Using Ad Aware and have run complete scan: only found cookies and deleted them but didn’t fix issue.
Ran WinsockxpFix but that didn’t help.
Ran TweakNow RegCleaner Standard but that didn’t help.
Right-clicking the wireless icon, I try to view Available Wireless Networks. The window comes up and shows me other wireless networks in the area (2 available right now), but doesn’t show my network at all. I click “Refresh network list” and 1 or 2 of the other networks will come up, but mine is still not shown.
I’ve clicked “Repair” and get this message: “Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed: Connecting to the wireless network.”
If I go to Control Panel, there is a Wireless Configuration Utility program from Broadcom. When I open that here is what I find:
It is not managing my wireless networks.
Under the “Wireless Networks” tab I see my Network with an “X” over the router icon to the left of it and a locked security icon to the right of it.
No information under the “Link Status” or “Statistics” tabs.
The “Site Monitor” tab shows my wireless network and the other 2 networks in the area (although they drop in and out because of signal strength). My network is always present even though the signal strength bounces up and down. This tab shows that my network is secure, 802.11 is g and n, speed is 270 mbps, Channel is 9, and Signal bounces from orange/red to green. Data encryption is (m)TKIP, TKIP, WPA-PSK.
I was going to use my notebook to post this message since it has been connected for 2 days without ever losing connection. It shows Very Good signal strength and is about 3 feet away from my desktop.
Update: My desktop just connected to my network after sitting there for 2 hours. Good to Very Good signal. Broadcom tool shows the connection and now has information in the Link Status and Statistics tabs.
Cancel that. It just lost connection again. It was only connected for about 5 minutes. There is no change in signal strength according to Broadcom though. In fact, Broadcom shows better signal now that I lost connection.
Now, it just connected again (on its own) after sitting there for 10 minutes! I’ve been surfing the web on my desktop for 45 minutes now and I’m using my desktop to post this message. What the heck?!!! This is what it’s like. Aggravating huh?
Well, that’s all I can think to write. What else do you need? Can anybody help me with this?
I’m confused. Please help!
Thanks a lot!!!
Jake

Thanks but it's just my desktop that doesn't see it though. My notebook sees it everytime, even at the same exact time that my desktop doesn't see it. For example yesterday when I was typing up this post, I was typing up the post on my notebook because my desktop didn't see the router. I don't think it has anything to do with the router actually, but I wanted to see if anyone on here has encountered this issue before. Other forums have similar issues but I've tried all of the fixes I found elsewhere and they didn't work.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Can't see any wireless network on my g5 dp2.5 can anyone help?

hello - i have just bought a 2005 model dp2.5 g5, and an airport extreme card. I have a wireless network at home which my other macs are all seeing fine, but this new computer won't see any network at all. i tested the extreme card by putting it in my laptop and it works fine. have tried to log on manually but again the computer doesn't see any network. the airport logo is there on the top menu bar but with no signal.
any ideas?
Tony

Very similar topic. I have a g5, but I have a windows desktop, windows laptop, and xbox360. I have an airport extreme card with the antenna in place. The two windows machines have their wireless network cards and antenna.....the xbox has it's wireless adapter. When I start up the machines, the three microsoft machines connect just fine, the G5 won't connect. I can run an ethernet cable to the Linksys G router, and sometimes that kicks in the airport card. But who wants to do that every day.
I can share files between the two windows machines, but not to the powermac. not sure about the xbox360.....the wireless adapter is an xmas present. But connected via ethernet cable, the xbox won't work with anything.
Help please.
Harry.
I just bought a new router with the notebook which I got a couple of weeks ago. The old router was a B and the new one a G, but that is moot. Everything is backwards compatible....and none of the machines support X.

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.

V570 can not see wireless n connection

Hello, I just bought a V570 5 days ago and noticed that the wireless adapter does not find my 802.11n signal but only the 802.11g signal. While the 2.4 GHz connection is ok, I expected to be able to connect to the faster network. I've tried to set up the connection manually it still does not show in the available list of connections. I've tried putting my new laptop within 2 feet of the router - no luck.
This is not a problem with my router - my work laptop (2 year old Lenovo ThinkPad) connects to my "n" network without a problem, as does my cell phone. I've checked the adapter settings and have the defaults set - 802.11n Channel Width for Band 2.4 set to 20 MHz and and 802.11n Mode enabled.
What I find interesting is that when I look at the adapter settings on my work laptop, it shows a setting that my new one does NOT have - 802.11n Channel Width for Band 5.2. Why do I not see this setting on my new laptop. Is this a problem? While I like the laptop, this is bugging me enough to return it if I don't find a solution soon.
Thanks for any help.
Solved!

Yeah, I know it's a bummer.
I was "burned" by this issue, when I bought my Y470. I just "assumed" that a brand new laptop, would include a wireless card that supported both channels. What I found out, after I received my new system, was that almost ALL laptops coming from Lenovo, only have B/G/N 2.4 Ghz cards. If you want a card with 5Ghz "A" support, you must upgrade the card in your original configuration order. The real kicker is, if you use the Lenovo outlet web pages to buy your system, you can not upgrade most of Idea Pads wireless cards. Those type of upgrades, seem to be only "offered" on Think Pad systems.
However, you can still buy, and install, and upgraded wireless card. I'm just not sure where you can buy it, and still be under warranty. See this thread:
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-and-Z-series/Upgrading-wireless-card-in-Y470/m-p/476833#M39...
You would think that Lenovo would have a "parts" outlet web site, that I could go to and order an upgraded wireless card. But it's like pulling teeth, to get any kind of "after purchase" upgrade information out of them. I guess they're too busy selling their systems, instead of making sure they get "brand loyalty" such as IBM once did.
Still, I'm very happy with my Y470. And as I've said, I get a 144 Mbs connection using the OEM wireless card. I had to fiddle with my connection settings on the card, and also on my E3200 router, to achieve the 144, but I've gotten good range on the 802.11N, 2.4 Ghz connection. After all, isn't that what it's all about, anyway?

Can't see wireless network with Windows Vista

I have the Airport Extreme N and two PCs, one with W XP and one with W Vista. Everything works fine with the XP PC. On the Vista PC, I can connect to the network with LAN, but I can’t see the wireless network.
The W Vista PC can identify other networks around the block, so the Broadcom 802.11g network adapter seems to work fine. The wireless runs on channel 13, which is OK for the XP PC. I have installed the latest update for the Airport Extreme.
Any suggestions to what I can do to get the W Vista PC working on wireless?
Best, Kasper

Hi,
I also have the same problem.
My belkin wirelss router is set to channel 13, therefore my macbook cannot see this network when it search's, for the above reasons.
However unlike the situation above I am unable to change from channel 13 as we have discovered in the past that this is the only channel that is not in use by other networks around our area. The rest gave us interferance troubles.
I have a number of windows laptops in the house and there is a setting that you can change so the laptop will search for channel 13. I was wondering if anyone is aware of a setting on the macbook that will make the airport card search for 1 - 13 not just channels 1 - 10 as it is now.
I thought I would add this question to this topic as it is very similar. I hope I was correct in doing so.
Thanks,
Josh

Can not see wireless TM in disk utility or desktop.

Am I running a TM Airport (router) it runs great, I love everything about it and the backups have no issues.
But I wanted to partition my 500mb drive on my TM yet for some reason I can not see the drive either on my desktop or in disk utility. Is there some setting I need to change somewhere else to be able to view this wireless drive and configure it? I looked via Airport Utility and the only option there is to archive or erase it, at least that can see it.
When the backup starts I do see a mounted drive show up.
Any ideas?

It does not show up because when I am not backing up, it gets disconnected...

Can't see other computers on network through wireless/wired OK

Our wireless clients that connect through our AP541N cannot see other computers on the network. They can ping other computers by IP and host name and access the internet OK. Mapped network drives can be connected initially but are very unreliable and always end up disconnecting. Restarting the computer does not help. When these computers are wired they see the network as expected. Does anyone know why my wireless network would behave differently then the wired? The wired and wireless networks are on the same VLAN. The wireless clients are all Windows 7 systems. Thanks.

Hi Andy,
Thank you for posting. Go to Wireless Network Setup (VAPs) and see if Station Isolation is enabled for the SSID in question. From the Help menu:
When Station Isolation is disabled, wireless clients can communicate with one another normally by sending traffic through the AP.
When Station Isolation is enabled, the AP blocks communication between wireless clients on the same VAP. The AP still allows data traffic between its wireless clients and wired devices on the network, across a WDS link, and with other wireless clients associated with a different VAP.
