Wireless MAXg Router and Mac OS X Leopard Problems

Hi.
Before I upgraded to Leopard I was able to print through my Wireless MAXg Router. I had set up a connection using "Internet Printing Protocol using HTTP." The instructions from the router manufacturer are:
Select Advanced and select or enter the values shown below:
Device: Internet Printing Protocol using HTTP
Device Name: HP Deskjet 990c (example only, select your printer)
Device URI: http://192.168.2.1:1631/printers/My_Printer
In Leopard, when I try to add the printer through the IP tab, I only can select "Internet Printing Protocol - IPP." When I click on "More printers" and hold the Alt/Option key, I am also not getting the "HTTP" option. I tried adding the printer using the IPP option, but the printer does not connect. Can anyone please help?? How can I add the HTTP option so that I can connect my printer??
Thanks!

Thanks for the response. However, I am still having problems. I added the printer using the Advanced tab and entered the URL of the printer through the HTTP option. However, when I try to print something, it runs the driver, and ends up saying "connected" but nothing prints. The status still says "printing" and nothing happens.
Any ideas??
Thanks!!

Wireless PC Cards and Macs?

Hi,
I recently purchased a Netgear DG834GT Wireless ADSL Router and Modem and with part of the package came a Netgear WG111T USB Adapter.
I successfully installed the modem/router to work wirelessly with my iMac G5 and airport extreme card, but am hoping to make use of the WG111T USB Adapter with my iBook G3 (running OSX 10.3).
Is this possible? I don't seem to be able to find the correct mac drivers anywhere for the WG111T. Am I wasting my time looking and should I buy an airport card for my iBook instead?
Thanks,

It does not appear that there are any Mac OS drivers for that device.
In general, USB wireless adapters should be the absolute last choice for a Mac. If you are going to use one, you need one that includes Mac OS drivers for the version of the Mac OS that you are using.
Also, since the iBook G3's USB port is USB 1.1 it makes no sense to get a 802.11g USB wireless adapter. USB 1.1 is 12 Mbps And therefore you will never use the extra bandwidth provided by the 54 Mbps 802.11g adapter.

I have been using WRT54G wireless broadband router and WU...

I have been using WRT54G wireless broadband router and WUSB54G on my home PC for the last 2 years. It was working fine until recently I encountered serious connection problem.
The WUSB54G cannot connect with WRT54G.
Error message " Cannot assocaite with the access point.
I have checked the followings to try and solve the problem.
1) Refresh site survey the WUSB54G does not show my SSID, but it can show my neighbour'sSSID.
3) When I use my notebook with built-in wireless network adaptor to access wirelss broadband there is no problem at all. I can access my SSID.
4) I have try reseting the WRT54G and changing password but still can not solve the problem.
5) Uninstall and re-install
5) I have installed a new USB adapter (WUSB54GG) thinking that it could be the old WUSB54G is faulty. But still encounter same problem.
I am using Window XP Professional. What could be the problem?
Please provide your professional advice. Thank you.

Hi, Try to update firmware of router. You can get latest version from www.linksys.com/download, Hope it will help you

Can't establish a network with Wireless-G Linksys router and Macs

I have a Wireless-G Linksys router and two Macs. My DSL cable is connected to the modem, the modem to the router w/Ethernet cable, and the router to a desktop Mac out of port 1. With this setup, I can usually -- not always -- connect to my wireless network with my PowerBook, but then the desktop Mac cannot connect to the internet. Either Mac connects to the internet when hooked up directly to the DSL modem. I have reset the modem. I have connected to the router's console and everything seems to be in order.The PowerBook can connect to the internet through the wireless router as described above, so there don't seem to be any Mac/PC incompatibility issues at work.My local gurus and my ISP are stumped. Any suggestions?

Trying to use Wireless-G Router w/ Mac OSx (WRT54G2)

Hi,
I just got a Linksys Wireless-G Router, to use with my Apple MacBook laptop. I got the laptop new back in January '08, and the router is new as of today. The Model Number is: WRT54G2.
I have a Windows desktop PC that I have been using at home, it has a cable modem connection through my cable company (external modem).
When I tried putting in the installation CD for the router today into my Mac, it didn't show up (the CD did, but the programs wouldn't start). I came to the Linksys website, and saw that the Wireless-G Router's CD only works on Windows (I have Windows XP on this desktop I'm using right now for Internet.) But, of course, the laptop that I want to use the wireless connection with, is a Mac.
I don't currently use the Internet on my Mac at home (only at places like the library with free WiFi access).... so I don't currently have my Mac plugged into any kind of modem whatsoever right now.
The help wizard on the website is so confusing. I am just wondering....how on earth can I possibly get my Mac laptop using the Linksys Wireless-G router system?? Where do I plug the blue ethernet cable into, etc.? I can't use the Installation CD on my Mac, so it says manual installation is required, but I dont know what to do.
I would reallly appreciate anyone's help! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok.
On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
- Click on enable
Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then again check the WAN Ip address .....

Verizon's new FiOS GigE Wireless N Router and High Speed Internet

So I got a deal in the mail to get an upgrade to [50/25] Mbps Internet (I currently have [15/5]...when I was reviewing it on line this message came up...
Verizon will provide up to [50/25] Mbps Internet with a wired connection. If you use your Internet primarily for wireless or WiFi connections, you have the option to upgrade to Verizon's new FiOS GigE Wireless N Router which will maximize your speed delivered through your wireless connection.
Upon completion of your order, you'll be provided with information for purchasing a router at Verizon's online equipment and accessories store.
I am VERY interested in getting super fast internet...my current internet is really good but it wouldnt hurt to bump it up. I have several devices using internet in the home...most of them wireless (including my PS3). I currently use a Verizon Actiontec router.
So here is my question...do I really need to get the above router to take advantage of that [50/25]? Also one other thing...My house is fairly large and I would really like to have two routers...is it possible to use two routers or a setup to have one upstairs and another downstairs?
Thanks in advance for the answers!
-Jest

There are a lot of variables that affect wireless range.
Walls, interference, other networks in the area, etc.
You don't indicate which older Actiontec you have.
Wireless capabilities also vary by Actiontec hardware revision (A,C,D,E,F,G,I).
In general, wireless range for 802.11n is somewhat less than 802.11g, even though the bandwidth is higher.
This is especially true on the 5Ghz band (which the latest Actiontec doesn;t support).
If you only need another 10 feet, you could try moving the router, or replacing the antenna with a high gain antenna.

SG300 inter-VLAN routing and MAC address changes in incoming packets

Hello
I have SG300-20 working in Layer3 mode
VLAN1 is not used
Internet gateway is in VLAN211
Clients are in other VLANs
Switch is default gateway for clients and itself has internet gateway as default route.
MAC address of switch is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:63
When client sends trafic to Internet destination MAC address in outgoing packets is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:63
But in incoming packets source MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:69
Why does it change? And how can I setup switch to use only XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:63 MAC address?

Hi Robert,
I'd like to pick up this old thread because we have a huge problem with the behavior of the SG300 router/switch regarding the "spoofed" MAC source addresses. We have connected this switch to another router which has some special routing capabilities. It routes certain IP packets directly to MAC addresses which it learned from snooping on special traffic.
When connected to a SG300 router with an Ethernet base address of XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:48 we receive packets with Ethernet source addresses like e. g. XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:49 or XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:4D (depending on which hardware port they came from). Our special router "learns" these MAC addresses and tries to send associated outgoing packets directly to these addresses using e. g. XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:49 as the MAC destination address.
Our problem is that the SG300 does not forward the packet if the MAC destination address is not equal to the switch's Ethernet base address (XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:48 in our case). This renders the SG300 series useless for our systems.
Is there new firmware available which fixes this problem for us? We don't care which MAC source address the SG300 uses in incoming packets we receive, but we expect that the SG300 handles packets correctly for outgoing packets we send with this MAC address as the destination address.
Thanks,
Chris

Wireless-G Router and Windows Vista

I recently upgraded from a wireless-B to a wireless-G router. After setup, we configured all of the PC's in the house to the new security network password and all was good. Our home PC's run Windows XP. I then configured our laptop to the router with the new password and settings and all was good with it. THe laptop runs Vista.
THe problem is with the laptop. Everytime we turn on the laptop to use it, we have to change the password from the old password to the new one. It will not save the new WEP password!! It always reverts back to the old password that was configured with the wireless-B router once the computer shuts down! HELP ! ! ! !

yes contact your laptop manufacturer to update the drivers for the buil-in gateway adapter...will definately work then.

Wireless-G Router and Invalid IP Address Problem

Hello! I have just installed a Belkin card into my son’s computer (WinXP) and then installed a Linksys Wireless-G router to our main computer (also XP). The main computer accesses the internet fine via the router, and my son’s computer is showing that the router and Belkin card are working, but I’m getting an “invalid IP” message when I try to figure out why it won’t connect.
Here is some basic info that I thought might help. I spent most of yesterday culling the Linksys site for suggestions, none of which have worked. So if more info is needed, I’m sure I have it handy!
The icon try shows the two-computers icon and says, “Connected to: linksys-SES-64264. Signal: Very Good.”
The tower icon says, “Belkin. SSID. Speed: 54.0 mbps. Signal: Very Low. Status: Associated. Address: 0.0.0.0”
When I go into ipconfig/all, I see:
Host……son’s name
Primary Dns Suffix…..
Node….Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled…..No
WINS Proxy Enabled…..No
Desc…..Belkin 802.11g Network Adapter
Physical Address…..00-11-50-60-B0-BA
Dhcp Enabled…..Yes
Auto Configure……Yes
IP……0.0.0.0
Default Gateway…..
DHCP…..255.255.255.255
Can anyone offer some assistance, please? I’m at a total loss at this point. I’ve run the wizards a zillion times, etc., and can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong!

It seems you're connected to a different SSID that's why you're getting a low signal in the first place and you're not getting any IP address at all.
1. Click here to set up your wreless security (Follow the procedure only up to setting up 64-bit WEP)
2. Use the wireless zero configuration of XP(the 2-computer icon on your system tray) to manage your wireless connection. Right-click the Belkin icon and look for an option to exit or disable. If it doesn't work or it doesn't have that opiton, use the Belkin wireless utility instead.
3. Connect to your own SSID and type your network key/password you setup on step 1

Using Airport Extreme base station as wireless Cable router and airtunes.

Can I replace my wired Roadrunner cable modem with a Apple Airport Extreme wireless 56g router removing the wired modem out of the picture?
I just have read and have not come to the complete conclusion that the Airport extreme base station is a standalone wireless router.
I would like this if it is a wireless standalone router as I want to but a pair of wireless airtunes router for music around the house keeping the Airport Extreme in my room where the airtunes routers would not be as I have the computer in my room and I have iTunes right there and would not need the airtunes routers in my computer room.
Leon.

Can I replace my wired Roadrunner cable modem with a Apple Airport Extreme wireless 56g router removing the wired modem out of the picture?
The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) does NOT have a built-in DSL/Cable modem. You will still require a Cable modem in order to access your ISP's Internet service.
I just have read and have not come to the complete conclusion that the Airport extreme base station is a standalone wireless router.
The AEBS IS a wireless router, but it is NOT a combination wireless router & cable modem.

Need major help, I have a WRT54G Wireless-G Router and theres too much Lag with My Xbox 360...

I cant host a game on Gears of War no more on my xbox 360 cuz it also drops and when i play on someone else's game, i get dropped from the middle of a game.
I have Comcast Hi-Speed Internet and that shouldnt be a problem,
I have my PC and my Xbox 360 hooked up and thats it,
On my computer i have McAfee Security, but i dont kno if that would slow it down??
Well when i unplug my router, and do a direct connection to my xbox 360, it is pretty **bleep** good connection. So what is there I can do to fix this slow connection with the router being hooked up?? i have my router in the same room too as my pc and 360.

yes the ethernet cord is hooked from the xbox 360 to the router

Setting Up wireless router and Mac OS X 10.4.11

I am trying to setup a D-Link DI-514 Wi-Fi Router to iMac G3 computer. My computer is a running Mac OS X with 512 MB of RAM.
The router was given to me by my cousin who has a PC. I check the D-Link website for an application to setup the router with my computer but the downloads linked to the computer do not seem to work with Mac computers. I am not sure if there is an option for a general application or shareware application to setup the router.
Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Alberto

Alberto,
On your iMac G3, open system preference and click on 'Network'. Here you will find the router's IP address. Wipe highlight it and copy it to the clipboard and then paste it into a new browser window or new tab, hit <enter> and you will go to the D-Link setup for your router.
The previous post is correct if your cousin setup a password (call your cousin), otherwise, "By default there is no password configured. It is highly recommended that you create a password to keep your router secure." as stated by D-Link.
I have a wired D-Link, it came with 62 page booklet on how to set it up so that a windows PC can use it. But on a Mac, it is plug and play. Use the web address to tweak it.
Hope this helps
Dave

Problems syncing iCal btwn iPod Touch and Mac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

Last fall I purchased an iPod Touch 32 GB, now running 6.1.2 iOS. I have an iMac 2007 running Snow Leopard (10.6.8). I was looking forward to being able to sync my many iCal calendars and take it on the road with me, so that I could make appointments and have them then be available to me on my Mac. I have synced using usb cable, and can get contacts, music, apps synced just fine: but the Calendar has been rather choosy about what it will sync. Sometimes it will give transfer to the iPod all the appts on one calendar (for example, Medical, which lists all my medical appts) and sometimes it will only give me some of those, with no apparent pattern as to why some are transferring and some are not. Other calendars never sync at all. In the beginning I was able to make an appt on the iPod and have it transfer to the Mac,but it stopped doing that within the first month of purchase.
I have spoken with Apple Care twice on this topic, and both times the conversation ended with the saying they would have to send this up to someone more knowledgeable, who would assuredly get back to me. I have not received any contact from their supervisors/other departments to work on this. The first Apple Tech Support person thought it was due to the new iOS, and assured me they were working out bugs on that, but further updates have not addressed the issue.
Most folks seem to think the best solution is upgrading to Lion/Mountain Lion and syncing through the Cloud. But I *like* Snow Leopard, and what I've heard/seen about the newer operating systems isn't making me want to jump on that bandwagon unless there's really no other way around it. I've even seen some problems syncing calendars through the Cloud.
Has anyone found a solution for this that allows me to continue to run Snow Leopard?
Many thanks.
A

Problem fixed. I have 3 wireless mice connected to my Mac Mini through a USB bus, and started to get conflicts, disconnected all of them, re-connected my Apple bluetooth mouse and it all snapped back in to place, also didn't help that earlier, my wife caught the cat walking across my keyboard. That problem solved by closing off the office when I'm not there, and cat expelled from the area.
Everything working as normal.
