Wireless Comcast Issue - Not Connecting

I had Comcast HSI installed yesterday. All my PCs are liking it just fine, but I can't get my Mac to see the network at all. When I try to set it up by giving the name and password provided by Comcast, I get an error. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be? In my research of the issue, I saw that some of the older OS models had problems with Comcast but mine is modern, so I am not clear what the issue might be. Any insight it appreciated.

The setup you have sounds like two separate components, a moden and a WiFi router. Both are consolidated into one unit.
You set up your modem inside the modem configuration, and that is independent of your Mac. The name and password provided by Comcast should not relate to your Mac at all, since it is strictly about connecting your modem to your ISP.
A more likely problem is that you have one of the Mac-incompatible routers. Read this:

    Hi,

    Hello bunheng,
    If you could please boot into BIOS at start-up.  On the main page this should show you your system-unit serial number, and the system board serial number. Could you check and make sure both of these fields are occupied.
    One step at a time.
    Hope this helps,

  • Officejet Pro 8000 wireless printer is "not connected."

    My Office Jet worked like a dream until I had to change my network settings, specifically my wireless network password.  I reconfigured the printer with the new password, but now whenever I try to print, I get an error message saying the printer is 'not connected.'  If I connect via USB cable, it works fine.
    The network configuration printout shows that the printer is connected to the wireless network and the diagnostics (wireless on, wireless working, etc) all read PASS.  
    I am using a MacBook.
    Help?

    try this on the touchscreen of your printer ...
    - go to "Setup"
    - select "Network"
    - make sure the "Wireless Direct" feature is enabled
    I was having the same problem(s) and this solved my issue

  • PC shows network in wireless but will not connect

    I have an open connection and my mac works fine but the pc will not connect...what exactly do I need to do in order to get the pc to work?

    Hello Dan Miller...Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    How are you connecting your AirPort Express Base Station (AX)? That is are you connecting it as a "wireless client" to an existing wireless network or as a stand-alone Internet router? That is, if it's an Internet router, you would be using it for both Internet access and for streaming iTunes.

  • WRT54GS - Wireless Apple Devices not Connecting

    I have a WRT54GS. The problem I am having is that my apple products will not connect to the router. All of my Microsoft computers are able to connect and use the internet.

    What particular Wireless Security are you using? If you are using WEP, try to put a # sign before the actual key. Or make sure you are using the correct wireless security passphrase if you are using WPA.

  • Intel pro wireless card can not connect

    Since some weeks, i can not use my wireless network, it does not associate the access point.
    The cared is a intel pro, using the agn driver.
    I can not connect to my wep key protected home network, or public, unprotected accesspoints.
    I tried various parameters with iwconfig, without success, so I assume the kernel module is broken.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Rather than blaming devs for putting out faulty software, if I were you I'd look at myself - the PEBKAC problem . So an upgrade broke it. When was this? What packages where upgraded? Check your pacman log (yes, it exists).
    You are aware the module name for Intel's wireless cards changed? Instead of referring to the card model it's now iwlcore and iwlagn. But then again, if you let udev figure it out, there shouldn't be the slightest problem in that upgrade.
    Care to share any of your cherished errors? Without them there's not much we can do. The BBS has been out of crystal bowls for a long time.
    Dear mr. B, I do not blame anybody anything. I report, as is, it does not work. On my system, in the hope that someone have something meaningful to say, not because I hoped for you to call me names. I do not know what your acronym means, and I do not wish to find out, since it appearently is there to make me less. I do not care for that.
    The kernel modules that are loaded on my system, and was back when I had working wifi support, are iwlcore and iwlagn. I do not know that the iwlwifi-4965-ucode package is used for anything, I installed it because the before-mentioned wiki page recommends that, and I did get working support. I do not try to configure it by hand, I trust udev/hal/whatever is there to handle the hardware.
    But, sorry for repeating, since some time, I can not connect to an access point. No matter if I try cli commands or use wicd or networkmanager applets. The result appears to be the same, there is no error from iwconfig, which does not succeed.
    I can't even remember the date it went wrong, but i know that the kernel was updated as a part of that particular update. rolling back the kernel did not help though.

  • Wireless receiver does not connect

    My wireless receiver powers up, connects to the access point (connection success message shows, 5 signal bars stay lit), then please wait message shows. The green link light comes on, the blue hd light comes on and then goes out. The power light flashes for a minute or so then all 3 lights on the receiver and the process starts over.
    This is the 2nd box AT&T has sent due to the same issue. I have another wireless receiver that works with no issues. Main tv hooked to the dvr works fine with no issues.
    Any ideas?

    Try pulling the power on the RG, the WAP & the  two STBs.
    Wait for all green on the RG, replug the WAP & the STBs one at a time. TRy the troublesome one first.

  • Wireless Printer Will Not Connect To Any Machine

    Okay so just want to start out saying any help is appreciated, haven't used a forum before so hoping for any answers.
    I have a HP Photosmart 5510 All in One B111a printer
    Trying to connect to 2 laptops 1 Win7 64 bit - 1 Windows XP Professional SP2
    I have had the printer for around a month - Set it up on my Win7 laptop no problem, needed to connect to the Win XP laptop, and after turning it on it will not connect to either randomly
    It seems so far that the printer is connected to the network according to what it says, and both laptops install the software okay but when searching for the printer neither can find it, it then resorts to searching via IP where it still cannot find it.
    So far I have attempted to reset defaults on printer, reset network defaults on printer, change the IP address, update the IP address, reinstall the software, reinstall the driver, install the full feature installation package, the network diag tool, it cannot seem to find the printer at all even though on the printer screen it states it's connected to the network fine.
    It works fine through a cable and at one point i made a WPS connection via my Win7 laptop but couldn't really figure out what to do next and if it would help my situation so disconnected.
    I don't know whether this is down to some stupid mistake I've made/something basic I've missed (it's my first printer) or an actual problem
    Please help!

  • Can connect to LAN wirelessly but can not connect to the internet.

    The problem:
    I can connect to the wireless router and modem router wireless and can browse the router setting web pages etc without issue. However i can not browse the internet, send or receive mail etc.
    The setup:
    A Belkin/iinet modem connects to the internet (ip 10.1.1.1), a DLink 565 then broadcasts the signal wirelessly (ip 10.1.1.100).
    What i have tried:
    Trusty old powercycle
    I know the internet is working via the wifi as my ipod touch has full internet functionality through my wifi.
    I have tried using ip address instead of urls to browse the web to no luck.
    I have tried deleting Libary\Preferences\SystemConfiguration\preferences.plist
    I have tried reseting the DHCP lease.
    The only other thing i know works (eventually) is if i constantly change locations back and forth and turn airport on and off repeatedly, eventually i will get on the wifi but that can take upwards of an hour.
    The macbook also works fine via ethernet connected to the wireless router.

    Check these details:
    1. Right click your wireless connection
    2. Select STATUS
    3. Select the SUPPORT tab
    4. Select the DETAILS button
    You should see a page with all sorts of network details.
    Make sure that you see the following:
    1. You have an assigned IP address from your router
    2. You have a default gateway address -- typically the IP address of your router.
    3. A primary and alternate DNS server address (the router gets
    these from your ISP and passes them along during DHCP connect
    processing.)
    I found that step #3 did not happen reliably. Your mileage may vary. I set DNS server values into my router, based on what I got from my ISP, so that the connect-time data handoff was not required. A large part of my troubles went away.
