Wireless Connection after 10.4.8 Update

I want to try and update again to 10.4.8. Has the wireless connection issue been resolved yet? The problem I was having before was when my mac went into sleep mode or I would reboot the wireless connection would be dropped. I tried just about everything I found on this board, but nothing worked. I had to archive and restore my mac back to 10.4.4. Is it safe to update, if not is there a fix for after I update?
Any help would be great!.

If I had an IntelMac I'd wait, or certainly not go past 10.4.7, and at that I'd surely use the bigger Combo Updates, not any of the Deltas.
Yet if I did try 10.4.8... it'd be installed on a seperate FW drive for testing... without messing with the working install.
All that being said... I still am at 10.3.9 or less on all my important work machines... only have Tiger on 2 machines to help sort out/test all the 10.4 problems!

  • Problems with Wireless connection AFTER 10.4.2 update

    I have read several topics on wireless problems AFTER the 10.4.2 update and wondering if anyone (or Apple) has found a fix to this problem. I cant get to my network or the internet via airport. I have tried zapping the pram, resetting the permissions, rebooting, checking for more update on a wired connection, reinstalling both 10.4.2 combo and 4.2 update and still nothing. This happened RIGHT after the reboot upon completion of the update. Im stuck and wondering if anyone has a solution or has any one SUCCESSFULLY contacted Apple and have they got a solution to fix the problem??

    I'm having the same problems with accessing my airport base station (first generation snow at 4.0.9) after loading the airport admin 4.2 patch. I loaded the 4.2 patch on my g5 and G4 running 10.3.9. The response/across of the wifi connection is very poor. I can't use chicken of the VNC to manage the G4 from the G5 anymore at all due to the slow response and accessing the internet via either the G4 or the G5 is like a dial up connection. The broadband speed test results are 192mb to 274mb up and similar down.
    I have a 12"powerbook (DVI 1gig version) with 10.3.9 that I have not loaded the 4.2 patch on and I am not having any issues with wifi access to the base station or the internet. broadband logs in right at 2.8mb via DSL. I also have a Dell laptop that I access the internet through the airport base station and I have no issues with speed and the same 2.8mb broadband speed test results.
    Conclusion something in the airport 4.2 patch has changed the airport cards ability to see the base station.
    With all that said, my question is - How do I back out of the 4.2 airport admin patch provided by apple or how do I resolve the slow response times between the airport cards in the G4 and G5 and the base station?
    Any help?

  • Slow wireless connection after 10.4.11 update

    Hi,
    I have a 17-inch iMac (2Ghz cpu) and ever since I updated to 10.4.11 my wireless connection has been very slow. I used to have download speeds between 150 and 200 KB, and now I can’t get past 20 or 30 KB. I have an XP laptop right beside the iMac, using the same wireless router and the connection is a lot faster, achieving the 200 KB I used to have with the iMac.
    I also used to transfer files a lot faster than I do now. I connect to a pc through smb and transferring files is really, really slow. It takes ages just to begin the transfer, and a 5MB file can take up to 15 minutes. It never took this long…
    The connection is quite stable though, it rarely disconnects, so I’m not sure whether I’m having the same problem other users have been posting in the forums. What I do know is that the update messed with my wireless connection.
    I’ve tried running Disk Utility’s repair disk permissions, Applejack’s AUTO repair, trashing plist files that I saw in other posts, nothing works.
    Anyone with the same problem? Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi again,
    I think I found a solution for this. It’s not the best solution, more of a workaround, but it’s been working for me.
    Searching other threads, I found this topic about users who had intermittent connection to the internet (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1027382&tstart=0). I tried changing the settings in my wireless router – not Linksys, it’s an Asus WL-520G, but has similar options – and the speeds were up again! SMB file transfers work at good speed, and the internet connection is back to normal.
    I’m not sure what these settings are for, but anyway all I did was change the “Beacon Interval” to 50, “RTS” to 2304 and “Fragmentation” to 2305 (I didn’t change the MTU because that seemed to be a PPPoE setting, not wireless).
    As I said, it’s not really a fix, because nothing changes in OS X, but anyway it may help some users who’ve been having the same problem.

  • Printer loses wireless connection after some hours

    Hello to all!
    Printer is connected and I can see on the screen correct IP. Desktops with Win7 and Ubuntu are used. After switching on printer works properly, but several hours later its unreachable from both systems. Printer shows connection, I can see it in router web access tool, but it is unreachable. I have to switch off printer, reboot the router, then switch on printer - and it works. Not very comfort.
    Does anybody know how to fix this bug?
    This question was solved.

    Hi @varspb,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 6525 printer is losing wireless connection after some hours with Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I am happy to look into this connection issue for you!
    For Linux support, please take a look at this website, http://hplip.sourceforge.net/.
    Otherwise, please see the following guides:

    Tips for preventing wireless connection issues
    The following tips can help prevent wireless connection issues:
    Move the printer and the computer or access point (router) closer together.
    Remove any metal objects between the printer and the computer or access point (router). Objects such as refrigerators or metal bookcases can interfere with wireless transmission.
    Move any device that emits radio signals farther away from the printer. Devices such as microwaves and cordless telephones can interfere with wireless transmission.
    Consult the router manufacturer for updates and configuration of your router.
    Make sure that your computer is not connected through a VPN. You cannot access your printer on your wireless network while connected to a VPN.
    Also, please take a look at this website, HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues.

  • No wireless connection after pacman update

    I dont get any connection whatsoever after a pacman -Syu . Im using wicd and iwconfig shows the device.
    Im only using wicd and the service should start and connect after booting but it dosnt. If I start the wicd-gtk, it dosnt show the connections. I tried to use wifi-menu but it throws a connection error (gives me the journal -xn)

    You need to try an narrow down the fault...
    For the packages, I did a full system upgrade. I cant remember how many or what packages were actually upgraded cause they were.. many.
    Im sorry admin! Let me try to copy as much as I can : the journal after using wifi-menu:
    Something interesting is that I see for a second that my wifi is on ( im usng xmonad and dzen ), then it goes off.

  • No wireless connection after pacman -Syu

    Hi,
    I'm almost new in this forum. Recently I did a system upgrade (or update?). After that the wireless connection didn't work again. I used the search function but I didn't find a solution so I reinstalled networkmanager and the wireless card driver (from AUR). Then I did everything mentioned in these wikis:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
    But no success
    The output to lspci | grep BCM43 is:
    04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
    The output of iwconfig is:
    lo        no wireless extensions.
    eth0      no wireless extensions.
    These are the relevant lines of rc.conf:
    MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
    #MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
    MODULES=(lib80211_crypt_tkip !b43 wl fuse snd-hda-intel)
    #eth1="dhcp"
    eth0="dhcp"
    #INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
    INTERFACES=(!eth0)
    #gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
    #ROUTES=(!gateway)
    # DAEMONS
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal !network networkmanager !netfs !wicd crond fam gdm)
    I really appreciate any help, thank you very much in advance,
    Luis Pablo

    I'm making some progress. I realized I forgot to blacklist ssb and ndiswrapper. I compiled the driver from the Broadcom website. This is the new modules array in rc.conf:
    MODULES=(lib80211_crypt_tkip wl !ndiswrapper !b43 !ssb fuse snd-hda-intel)
    Now "sudo iwconfig" output is

  • Photosmart 6180 All-in-One Wireless Connection After Windows 7 Laptop Added to Network

    I replaced a broken Vista laptop with a new Windows 7 64-bit laptop.  After I installed my Photosmart 6180 All-in-One, the printer stopped working correctly when we try to connect to it wirelessly. 
    I followed all the directions HP provides for updating the printer software and drivers for Windows 7.
    We've tried all the suggestions for resetting the printer that we can find on the HP forums. 
    The printer works properly when connected via USB cable to a Vista laptop. 
    I was not able to get the printer to work via USB cable connected to the Windows 7 laptop.
    When we try to connect via the wireless signal, regardless of Vista or Windows 7, the printer goes into an endless initialization loop.
    We need to determine whether achieving a wireless connection is hopeless.  If it is not, we need step-by-step instructions on how to resolve the issue.
    The security system for the printer is WEP.  We connect through a wireless router provided by Verizon FIOS.
    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Some of HP's printers do not support WEP shared.  If you are using WEP shared this could be the problem.  I would suggest turning off the WEP security temporarily to see if that fixes the issue.  If it does then you can look at changing the security to WEP Open system authentication.

  • Wireless Issues after 10.4.7 update

    Hi all,
    My wireless connection was solid since the day I bought my Macbook Pro. I had profiles connecting to my wireless router at home and my work wireless points at work. When I recently updated my system to 10.4.7, I have had some issues with my wireless.
    Sometimes when I start my mac up, login, etc, the wireless icon in the system tray will flicker, and I have no connection to my wireless. If I disable and enable the Airport device, sometimes it just starts working. Sometimes I have to reboot the system to make it work. If the icon does not flicker, it works fine, when it gets into that state where it doesn't work, the icon flickers.
    Anyone else having these issues?
    Macbook Pro 15" 1.83GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   1Gb RAM

    I also had some dropped connections over my wireless
    router at home (Linksys router) after the 10.4.7
    install. I have a MBP 15" W8617xxxx. Connection was
    good for a few minutes at a time. Then I had to
    restart AirPort.
    For me, I had installed some other apps about the
    same time as 10.4.7, so I uninstalled them, repaired
    permissions, installed the Combo 10.4.7 and now
    everything seems okay.
    I don't know if it was the new apps, or the Combo
    install, or repair permissions, or ?
    Hope that helps. Good luck.
    =================
    SDDave,
    i have been reading a lot of postings regarding the issues with wireless after the 10.4.7 update.
    i also have a linksys wireless router and have identical problems with you. i am sure many of us do as well.
    you said you managed to install the 10.4.7 combo and everything seems to work properly now? if so, would you be kind enough to give me detail steps on how to install the 10.4.7 combo file
    1. do we get the combo 10.4.7 from the apple site?
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosxupdate1047comboppc.html
    2. what steps do we need to install this file?
    please please help us out to provide detail steps to do this. i know some of us here are not as comfortable doing it without some help.
    i would appreciate if anyone else would help out beside sddave.
    thank you in advance. i can't wait to install this combo update to resolve this connection issue.

  • Itunes not connecting after 6.1.2 update[iphone 5]

    i am not able to connect to itunes after 6.1.2 update for my iphone...i doesn't get connected over wifi sharing or lightning cable..i updated through OTA

  • Printer keeps dropping wireless connection after working for a while

    My computer stops being able to communicate with the printer wirelessly even thought the printer says it is connected to the network and both the printer and computer are on the same network. What happens is I connect the printer to the network and print something from my computer. Then, after a short while, half an hour maybe, when the printer shows it is connected to the network, I try to print but my computer can't find the printer. The message say the printer cannot be found. If I go to the printer, and reconnect with the wireless connection wizard I can print. But after a short time, I won't be able to print again and have to do the wireless connection wizard again. Wireless direct is off. Don't know if that matters. 

    These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keep wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
    Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual). This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here (Windows solution 4, static IP).
    Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off/Sleep' is disabled.  Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS). Also check your Printers Properties.
    If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer.
    If needed and you assigned a static IP address, try using 8.8.8.8 for the Preferred DNS server and 8.8.4.4 at the Alternate DNS server. 
    In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information) 
    Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest. 
    Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router. 
    Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode. 
    Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
    If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same, they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
    SSID broadcast must be enabled.
    Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins.  Power on router wait 2 mins. 
    Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router. 
    Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?
    Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network and Sharing Center/Advanced sharing settings.
    Under Home or Work (current profile) / Network Discovery.

  • [Solved] No wireless connection after reboot.

    I installed through a wireless connection. I installed inside of VirtualBox, and I installed wireless_tools, wpa_supplicant, and wpa_actiond dialog.

    I tried adding manually loading iwl3945 and iwl4965, one of which I think is my driver.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
    The fix was typing "systemctl enable dhcpcd".

    You must not have searched very long then, because you've missed not one, but two threads:

  • IMac drops Wifi connection after 10.7.4 update

    Hello there,
    I am experiencing intermittent wifi connection problems after installing the 10.7.4 update on my 2011 iMac 27".
    The symption is that the iMac drop its Wifi connection after a period of time and when that happens the iMac cannot detect any wifi networks in my area (disabling & re-enabling Wifi on the iMac doesn't help). I have to resort to restarting the iMac to revive the wifi interface. Note that my other devices (including my iPhone and my MacBook Air) can connect to my Airport Extreme without any problems.
    Is there any "quick-fix" solutions out there that can fix this problem? I want to avoid a complete re-install as much as possible.

    Possible short term fix:
    Same issue. Mid 2011 iMac. Updated to 10.7.4 and wifi dropped. The iMac could see any SSID until it was rebooted. My MacBook Air, iPad and iPhone all fine.
    I went to Apple tech support and like others was faced with a slippery resistance to the idea that this was anything to do with 10.7.4.
    Eventually it was suggested I reinstalled Mac OS (switch off, switch on with cmd and R keys held down. Then follow the process. I wasn't hopeful but was compliant. Imagine my joy when, on coming back to me my iMac asked if I wanted to update to 10.7.4. Of course not!
    So reinstalling Mac OS takes you back to 10.7.3. So far so good. Will keep you posted.
    Still hoping fpr a proper fix from Apple but they don't seem to be taking seriously
    in contrast just updated Omin Group's Omniplan (BTW this is great software for the Mac, check out their offering if you haven't). The update notes:
    "It seems as if our fix to the Task: Schedule Inspector in 2.1.1 actually caused more widespread crashes. We've rewritten this code in a more robust fashion and have not seen this problem reappear"
    Owning and fixing the problem - Apple guys please take note!
    good luck
    Guy
