Wireless Connectivity issue (WRT54G)

Ok.... I'll try and explain the problem as best I can.
My family has been using a WRT54G to network the house computers (1 or 2 desktops running via ethernet and 3 laptops running via wireless) for years, and it's always worked perfectly, up until January... Coincidentally? the inability for some computers to connect via wireless coincided with the installation of Windows 7 Beta on one of the laptops. Since then, We have only very rarely been able to have all three laptops connected to the wireless at the same time (computers connected via ethernet have always worked, and the laptops work fine when connected via ethernet). Usually unplugging and letting the router reset itself works fine to get at least two of the computers running (the other not even being able to see the network). 
The router is running these settings (just reply and I can get anything else you need)
 Firmware Version: v1.02.2, Capture(month.num6) Jun. 7, 2007    Wireless Channel- 6- 2.437GHz
Wireless SSID Broadcast- enable
Status- SES inactive
Wireless network mode- Mixed
Also, for some reason, The network no longer has the correct name, and it is unsecured.... any reasons why? this is driving us nuts.
Thanks,
Volund

I'm surprised noone has responded yet.  I'm having the same issue and based on searches I've done, this is a frequent problem with this router when a Windows 7 computer connects to it.  In my case I have a notebook that dual boots XP and 7.  XP works fine and has been working for a long time.  As soon as I boot to 7, all connections on the router drop.  Very annoying.  Hopefully someone has the answer.

  • I am having wireless connectivity issues with my time capsule

    Over the last 3 days my wireless devices have been having issues with connectivity.
    Network setup:
    Modem - Motorola SB5102 Cable Modem
    1 TB Time Capsule 802.11n (second generation)
    The devices are approximately 3 feet apart.
    Wired Device:
    Mac Pro (2008 build) running OSX 10.6.8, Airport Utility 5.6.1
    Wireless Devices:
    Playstation 3
    Macbook Air
    iPhone 5c
    iPhone 4
    I am having issues with internet connectivity. The wireless signal strength is fine as all devices can find the network. However when connected to the network accessing the internet on the Macbook Air, or either iPhone is slow and streaming services such as Netflix cannot connect. I have intermitant connectivity to the Playstation Network on the PS3.
    I have wired both the Macbook Air and PS3 directly to the Time Capsule and have no issues, internet is accessible and streaming services are fine.
    I have power cycled all the devices (Time Capsule, macbook, iphones, PS3, modem) to no result.
    I am looking for any other suggestions that may help me with my wireless connectivity issue.

    A Gen2 TC is probably on its last gasp.. and it is well overdue for replacement.
    If you want to get more life out of it you normally need to repair or replace the internal power supply.. This is not done by apple or any of their repair centres.
    Just do ebay search and you will find sellers with replacement supplies.
    Otherwise to test, do a full factory reset..
    I would also downgrade the firmware.. 7.5.2 will work just as well for you and has less bugs than 7.6.x firmware.
    To downgrade hold down the option key when you select firmware version.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

  • 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?

  • Connectivity Issues WRT54G router and 2915ABG Dell wireless card

    My wife and I both have Dell Inspiron 600m laptops with nearly the same setup: XP Pro, 2915ABG wireless cards, and the wireless connection is controlled through ProSet Wireless. We have Comcast and connect to a WRT54G wireless router. The router has WPA enabled, MAC address filtering, and the latest Firmware.
    I have no trouble connecting to or remaining connected to the router. Her machine connects to the wireless, but randomly loses connection (sometimes it's connected for hours and other times it losses connection in the first five minutes). When I watch the ProSet wireless event viewer, it only says "link down."
    To attempt to fix this problem, I have:
    played with the router's settings including changing channels
    updated her drivers
    allowed windows to control the wireless card
    reset the router
    updated the router's firmware
    None of these actions have fixed the problem. The only real differences between the two machines is that I did the following to mine:
    My machine was the one that initially set up the wireless router
    I used the Comcast install CD on my machine (then deleted all the *junk* that was installed by the CD).
    I would like to avoid using the Comcast install CD on her machine because no one needs the extra junk they install. I did set up her machine according to the internet on how to set up Comcast without the CD.
    I am trying to figure out if the problem is with the router or with her hardware. Thank you,
    Michael

    Try upgrading the firmware on the router.

  • WRT54G weird wireless connection issues

    Hi
    I have recently encountered a problem with my wireless setup.
    I have WRT54G ver 7 router. I am using it with my wired PC and wireless Dell D620 with Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG adapter.
    Both the router and laptop are less then a year old (I bouth them about at the same time). And worked well more or less for all this time.
    My settings are : WEP2 personal with AES.
    Yesterday however the wireless connection was lost and I couldn't connect anymore. I haven't changed any network settings or got any new devices. The wired connection works the same way, without a problem.
    I tried reseting the router and changing its channels to (1/11)its settins to :
    Transmission Rate: 54 Mbps
    Beacon Interval: 50
    Fragmentation Threshold: 2306
    RTS Threshold: 2304
    I tried also getting the latest firmware upgrade for the router, however didn't find any available.
    The situation is weird because sometimes I can connect to it, and sometimes not. It also gets lost after a few minutes but still shows that I am connected.
    Today the situation became even worst. I did restart this morning and I can't see the network anymore (there are other networks nearby I can see them, but mine is not visible (although the Wireless SSID Broadcast is enabled and yesterday it worked !) I can however connect to it somehow with my prevously saved profile, but it also gets lost after some time.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yes it is possible.
    Anyway today I tried to update intel drivers and the app just hang when it tried to remove the old version. So I terminated it, now however the patch doesn't install and I can't install/repare/remove old version of drivers some how . Currently I am using only windows to manage wi-fi.
    I had already made a unique SSID and broadcast is also on. I also doesn't have any wireless devices and the router is though close to the computer still I think is fairly far from it and is about 1.5 m heigh from the ground.
    I did a little research on the network with utility called "Network stumbler".
    I can usually find 5 different networks including mine:
    2 of them are using channel 6 the other ones are using channels 1 and 2 . So I have set channel 11 ( I have tried it before and others too without much of a luck )
    Anyway the program shows the current parameters for my network:
    SNR = 43
    Signal+ = -57
    Noise- = -100
    SNR+ = 43
    Signal = -57
    To compare with the other most strongest network somwhere nearby on channel 6:
    SNR = 35
    Signal+ = -62
    Noise- = -100
    SNR+ = 38
    Signal = -70
    I am not sure what to do with intel drivers. I have already spent quite some time and don't want to spend more time trying to fix software problems.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 wireless connectivity issues?

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 and It was working fine. I got a new router and it was still working fine. Second night of having everything set up it stops working and  shows as offline on my computer. It will print information about the printer from thecomputor but will not print out any other documents.

    I'm having the same issues. In my case, first I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X 10 Mavericks. A few days ago, the Actiontec gateway router provided by my ISP Frontier Communications ceased to function. Frontier sent a Netgear 7550 gateway router to replace it. I installed it according to directions. My email capability and home network went down. Frontier helped to restore the email but the techs I worked with couldn't figure out what to do to restore my wireless network. The router's setup would not allow me to replace the WPA Shared Key with the wireless network password I used previously. So, I updated the ASUS range extender and all the wireless devices that were on my home network with the new WPA key. Both printers, the Officejet Pro 8500A 910 and a Brother wireless laser, will not network. The Officejet blue wireless icon no longer lights up. I uninstalled the Officejet's software and then downloaded and installed the latest software and drivers for the Officejet Pro 8500A 910.  The HP  Network Configuration printout indicates that its network status is ready and the active connection type is wireless. I had it connected to my Mac with a USB cable so I could reinstall the software and drivers. When I disconnected the cable, I lost connection to the Officejet and couldn't print. the HP utility could not establish a wireless connection even though I did input all the new router settings. The Officejet thinks it's wireless but it isn't. I can only conclude that my Officjet is delusional. It's not all that old, but could it be ready for the all-in-one graveyard?

  • HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-O​ne Wireless connection issue.

    We are using the HP 6600 now for 6 months and sice a few weeks we have some issues with the printer.
    situation:
    1 - HP 6600 printer
    1 - Wireless Router
    3 - Computers connected to the router
    What we did:
    Updated the firmware
    Manual IP
    Put channel from router to 11
    Put it closer to the router (1 meter instead of 3)
    HP docter, everything is fine (if connection is lost, answer "No network connection to your device"
    But all above is not the solution.
    When the printer is offline we just switch it off and on and it will work again for a couple of hours. It looks that the connection is lost when it is going to sleep/hybernate.
    Also one of my customers has exactly the same problem, also did all above and didnt fix anything. This question is for me quite urgent because i am going on holidays in 2 days, my father in LAW cannot work without the printer and is getting upset this all this.
    Any advices?

    Arjan_NL
    If I understand you correctly the printers blue light is flashing and you cannot see your printer on the network. I recommend that you reset the network defaults to factory settings on the printer.
    To reset the network defaults
    -touch Setup Menu
    -touch Network
    -touch Restore Network Defaults
    Then use the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to the network.
    To run wireless setup
    -touch Setup
    -touch Network
    -touch Wireless Setup Wizard
    follow the on screen instructions to set the printer up on the network. You will need the WPA password or security key for the router to do this.
    Follow the steps in this document Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection to set a static IP address for the printer. This should help you maintain a better wireless connection.
    Keep me posted and let me know if you need further assistance.

  • Dear Steve, will anything be done about this wireless connectivity issue?

    This is no fun whatsoever....

    People, help me in refining this list - did I leave something out?
    P.S. I was thinking lately, why, after spending so much money, should I spend several days already, in agregate, trying to understand the issue and how it should be resolved? Have I not paid for not having such problems?

    Here is a lot more:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/wirelessnetworking/topic4035.html
    Highly interesting is the post of J.Exby which i reproduce here:
    For months I've not been alone in holding to the notion that the airport client software on Mac OS X 10.4.x has been problematic and unstable in certain (noisy, crowded, channel overlapped) wireless environments. Issues littered around the Internet Mac forums include problems of networks appearing, then disappearing. This is a difficult problem to pin down, given the difficulty of reproducing the conditions that might cause wireless network dropouts.
    A major symptom of the problem was seeing the constant messages of:
    "An error occurred joining the AirPort network" (Try Again) (Cancel)
    when attempting to connect to a wireless network, despite that network being seen, having correct security settings, etc.
    Various temporary fixes/ideas floated around the mac community have included:
    - reseting pram, nvram and PMU
    - installing 10.4 from scratch, instead of 10.3 to 10.4 upgrade process
    - Repairing permissions, run Combo updaters, etc
    - putting system to sleep or reboot for temporary connection fix
    - applying AirPort 2005-001 patch (or not)
    - upgrading (or downgrading!) AirPort basestation firmware
    - changing AirPort channels
    - enabled (or disabling) Interference Robustness
    - disabling Bluetooth and BT peripherals
    - removing WEP/WPA passwords out of Keychain
    - running Keychain First Aid on user/login keychains
    - buying new AirPort extreme cards
    - replacing AirPort base stations with other vendor hardware, etc.
    With the stability of our Windows XP clients now (after driver updates) and the change from Apple base stations to Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router having no appreciable benefit for our Mac notebooks, the OS X AirPort client software suspicions only grew.
    During troubleshooting I always have
    Applications--->Utilities--->Console
    and
    iStumbler (96)
    running, and I watch output as wireless scans are performed.
    From the Terminal I also run:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Resources/airport -s
    and usually see constant
    AirPortScanner WirelessScan error -2013261821 airpInternalErr
    messages.
    After two days of testing (and fixing?) I am even more convinced there are bugs in the powerpc 10.4.x AirPort Extreme Framework!
    This is what I found:
    Environment at our office:
    - wireless Network A (802.11g channel 1, WPA personal)
    - wireless Network B (802.11b channel 6, WEP 40bit ascii)
    - wireless Network C (802.11g channel 11, WPA personal)
    (WAR-marching around our office exterior shows at least 12 outside wireless networks found at various signal strengths!)
    Test systems used:
    - iBook G4 (10.3.x and 10.4.5)
    - Powerbook G4 (10.4.5)
    - Intel iMac (10.4.5)
    Primary symptom on iBook: networks not displaying long enough under the AirPort icon/menu (or Internet Connect) to connect to ANY network reliably! Perhaps connect to Network A intermittently, never even see Network C.
    iStumbler showing some networks respond to poll, then immediately stagnate/disappear.
    Primary symptom on Powerbook: stable connections to Network C most times, difficulty "switching" to Network B or A once moving closer to source. Usually stable "seeing" networks via AirPort menu icon, but still have occasional dropouts (due to fluctuating signal strength or interference?).
    Primary symptom on Intel iMac: NO PROBLEMS! Can connect to (and steadily "see") all valid Networks A, B, C !
    iStumbler constantly polls all available networks, with no dropouts.
    Steps taken:
    1. Wipe iBook hard drive, install 10.3 from dvd. AirPort signals unreliable.
    1a. Perform all 10.3.x Software updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
    2. Reset PRAM, nvram, PMU. no improvements.
    3. Reseat AirPort Extreme card, ensure antenna is firmly plugged in. AirPort still unreliable.
    4. Wipe iBook, install 10.4.3 "fresh" from Full retail version DVD. AirPort still unreliable.
    4a. Perform all 10.4.5 Software (combo) updates, Repair Permissions, reboot. AirPort still unreliable.
    5. Hold down the Option key, and click on the AirPort icon in the menu bar.
    select About AirPort...
    pay particular attention to each system showing:
    iBook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
    powerbook: AirPort Framework 421.13.0
    intel iMac: AirPort Framework 426.1.0
    Aha! A big difference with the AirPort Framework component version on the Intel iMac!
    6. So, using the Terminal let's get this newer Apple80211.framework onto the iBook.
    First on the intel iMac:
    cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
    sudo tar cf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar Apple80211.framework
    Copy this intelApple80211frame.tar file onto a USB thumb drive, CDR, iPod, scp, etc. to copy it onto the iBook (home directory).
    7. With the tar file copied into the home area on the iBook, turn off iBook's AirPort via the menubar icon.
    Now launch Terminal and:
    mkdir backup-framework
    cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
    sudo mv Apple80211.framework ~/backup-framework/
    sudo tar xvpf ~/intelApple80211frame.tar
    Launch Disk Utility, Repair Permissions on boot drive.
    Reboot iBook.
    8. Turn Airport on via the menubar icon.
    iBook now has HUGE improvements in wireless connectivity! It can "see" all Networks A, B, C reliably and can connect to any of them when in range (having enough signal strength). Switching between networks is successful 90% of the time. Occasional message of:
    "An error occurred joining the AirPort network (Try Again) (Cancel)"
    usually works after clicking (Try Again), whereas before Try Again almost always failed.
    I am unsure how this newer Apple80211.framework will affect future Software Updates on the iBook, but frankly I could care less now that it's able to access all of our wireless networks!
    I am unsure if this is the magic-bullet solution for a majority of people, but I'm stunned that Apple appears to be providing new and improved Apple80211.framework software with the intel iMacs, but many of us have been fighting AirPort problems on PowerPC platforms for months!
    Come on Apple, OS X 10.4.5 should contain the SAME software component versions for ALL CPU platforms!

  • No wireless connection on WRT54GS

    The wireless connection on my WRT54GS (v6, firmware 1.50.9) seems to have died. The WLAN light still comes on, but neither the downstairs PC nor my PSP can locate the network, even though the router is set to broadcast the SSID. Rebooting makes no difference. Cabled connections (PC and PS3) still work perfectly well. No settings have been changed on any of the equipment, so I suspect that something has gone wrong internally. The router is just about within its warranty period, so is there anything I can try - any diagnostic software, for example - or should I just get it replaced?

    You can try to update the firmware of the router, to check if that stops connection dropping. To update the firmware of router try this: 1. Go to www.linksys.com/download and select correct model number and version number. Download the firmware and save it on your computer. 2. Check the file it sould be firmware image file like .bin etc. If it is a compressed zip file extract it to get firmware image file. 3. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 4. Go to administartion tab there 5. Go to fimware update sub-tab there 6. Browse for the firmware image file and click update 7. when update completes turn off modem & router. 8. After 2 minutes turn on modem and after 2 more minutes turn on router. To get network key, connect your computer to one of the four ports on router using ethernet cable. 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Use your password if you have changed it earlier 2. Go to wireless tab. 3. Go to wireless security sub-tab 4. If security mode is wpa or wpa2 note down passphrase/shared key, if security mode is WEP note down wep key number 1. This will be your network key Well you need to input all the wireless settings of your wireless network on Wii. To get these settings: 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 2. Goto wireless tab. Here you will get the wireless network name/SSID. Here make sure wireless SSID broadcast is enabled. 3. Now goto wireless security sub-tab and here you will get the security mode and the security key. If security type is WPA note passphrase/shared key, and if its WEP note down wep encryption level and key 1 from listed 4 keys....& it will definately work!!!

  • 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.

  • Wireless connection issue, new HH2.0A

    Hi again everyone.
    We've recently upgraded to 'up to 20Mb' BB option 3 and got sent a new HH2.0A to go with it after being on the 1.5 for a few years but i seem to be having trouble with a secondary PC connecting by wireless.
    The other PC is using a BT Voyager 1055 wireless dongle to connect, but it seems that the first time it connects after being turned off, it can't aquire an IP address so we have to keep repairing the connection until it picks one up, then it works fine until it's turned on again the next day.
    I've tried setting the HH to give it a static IP address but the problem still happens.  I've noticed the dongle utility says it's using WPA-PSK security whereas that isn't an option on the HH security page, only 'WPA' or 'WPA & WPA2'.  Would that be causing the issue do you think?
    I'm reluctant to change any hub settings too much as we are still within our 10 day line testing period and aren't up to full speed yet.
    Thanks in advance for any help on this issue

    Hi, thanks for the reply.
    Yes, deleting the old connection was the first thing I tried but it didn't work.  I'm going to try totally reinstalling the 1055 utility from the disk next I think.
    I didn't even check the BTFon thing but the hub page says it's active so I guess it is transmitting.  Would this have any effect on the problem or on my speeds as a whole?
    I'm not sure if reinstalling will solve this, but go for it
    If it says active, then you're part of BTFon - this will use a max' 512Kbps or your total speed when someone connects to it
    It shouldn't affect your wireless connection

  • Wireless connectivity issues with Macbook Pro and At&t service HELP!!!!!

    I have three Computers two PC's and one Macbook Pro( the latest model).My desktop PC is used by ethernet, my girls laptop is used wirelessly and finally my MBP was being used wirelessly.
    I started off with only the two PCs and my internet connection never had a problem and I was doing everything from: on the internet to downloading.
    Before I bought my MBP I had also switched from internet and phone bundle to just internet from At&t service. So when I got my first MBP I notice that I was loosing wireless connection with both my girls pc laptop and my MBP so i thought it was because I had just switched service, though they send out a service technician and we came to a conclusion that it was the MBP. (I was loosing signal via wireless and ethernet). So we tried to see if both my girls laptop(wireless) and my PC desktop (ethernet) would run into the same issue which it did not.(MBP was turned off)
    So I decided to go my nearest Apple store and let them know what was going on. So I told them what was going on and they said It must be the airport card, and they ended up changing it. When I get home I discover that not only I am having the same issue but other issues too. I went back they ran some diagnostic and they said it was defective and they gave me a new one few days later.
    So in the mean time that I waited for my new one to arrive I used my PC desktop and my girl kept using her laptop and guess what no issue what so ever for one whole week. Now I receive my new MBP(they bumped the specs a little), went home set it up and still the same issue though I dont have the issue when Im using via ethernet. Just a view minutes ago I tried removing the ethernet and using the airport/wireless and within a few minutes I lost the signal.
    I have the gateway 2WIRE model(2701HG-B) modem/router.
    Is there something wrong? what do I have to do to make this work?

    Hi Guys, I bough my Mac almost two years ago. All this time I have experienced the same issue. There are tons of discussions re this issue in the internet. Unfortunately, Apple has done nothing to fix it. I have tried a lot of different options, but they work no longer then 1-2 days. The official fix - does not exist so far. It is quit strange, isn't? I can share my experience: if you go to AirPort Utility - Manual Setup - Wireless and then change Channel, it could help you till the moment you restart your computer; next time you need to repeat it again. It takes 2 minutes. Not sure that it would work for you but you could give it a try. Well, not the best option. Anyway Apple must fix it asap! Hello Apple, do you hear us? Good luck.

  • Wireless Connectivity Issues

    Hello, I am having internet wifi connection issues with my laptop computer.In the bottom right corner of my taskbar, it says "Network Internet Access"However, I am not getting connection through any of my browsers.I am able to get wifi connection through my Nintento Wii U, but not my laptop. When I turn wifi button on keyboard off and then back on quickly, I only get connection for a single second; then no connection at all. I have tried the following:1.) Tried to connect to friend's wifi, but could not connect to the network 2.) Ran troubleshooting for wifi and it said two errors: broken access point and plug or wireless not plugged in properly 3.) Ran  Wireless Network Troubleshooting for when I tried to connect to my wireless router and results are: couldn't identify the problem..(network connected internet access, but no connection to any browser) 4.) Checking the status of wireless driver and results are this device is working properly 5.) Uninstalling and reinstalling Intel Wireless driver through device manager 6.) Unchecking box that says turn this wireless driver off to save power 7.) Checked Windows Firewall to see what boxes are checked and unchecked...not sure what to look for 8.) Disabled and Inabled wireless network driver I noticed that there is a slight rattling noise coming from inside my laptop not sure what came lose or what has become broken from the inside; I never droped it, but I did hit it slightly once or twice against wall while the laptop was in laptop case strapped to my right shoulder... Is it possible that I may have a broken wireless card that is inside my laptop?I ask this because this is very much my concern.

  • Cannot establish wireless connection with WRT54G after power-off

    My WRT54G (firmware v7.00.0) is connected to cable TV modem and
    usually the wireless connection works fine, but after swiching off and later
    on the power to WRT54G a laptop cannot establish WiFi connection to internet.
    I can see in Odyssey software (for wireless communication) that my laptop
    found the right network (SSID) but in status it says 'waiting for keys'.
    I use WPA2 (TKIP). The laptop does not connect to internet.
    When I connect it by cable (ethernet) the internet works fine, I have noticed
    that by accessing the web-page utility of the router and simply clicking
    save changes on wireless-settings page (without making any changes in
    the settings) my laptop instantly establishes wireles connection and
    everything works fine till next power swich-off.

    Thanks for reply! I have my network in preffered, and the software/laptop locks on
    the network (see it, says it have excellent signal strenght) and gives note
    'waiting for keys' (the WPA2 encription key is in the settings - both of router and laptop client - Odyssey).
    I've got firmware ver.7 so it is probably the latest.
