Wireless modem not connecting but direct connect is

I have a WRT54G modem and it works with a direct connection but not with the wireless. We had a few power failures yesterday which is all I can think of that caused the problem. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

If you are able to go online wired from the router then,try to adjust the wireless settings on the router...
Open the router setup page and Under the Wireless tab,Change the SSID to some unique name,Change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on save settings.Under the subtab Wireless Security check the security key.
Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

FaceTime connecting but never connects

My facetime says its connecting but never connects.I already reset the settings on my phone.

There have been some connection issues reported over the last couple of days. Despite the Apple status page reporting no problems, many report problems in both iOS 6 & 7, while some say that iOS 7 seems to work. It is unknown if Apple is addressing this or not.

Mobile network state "connecting" but never connects...help please?

Hi,
When I try to turn on 3G data on my Fascinate, it never connects. Under settings/about phone/mobile network state it just says "connecting" but never connects, and the "3G" icon never appears in the top right corner of the phone. I've tried toggling the airplane mode, turning off, then turning back on and toggling airplane mode off, but it didn't work.
I was wondering why I haven't received the 2.3 OTA update yet, and I guess it's because my data is not working.
Any suggestions?
thanks for any help you can give!

Not to make it sound simplistic, but have you pulled the battery out? Shut off phone, pull the battery for 30 seconds, put the battery back in, and then turn it on.

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

My Wi-Fi just says connecting, but never connects. I've rebooted the router and the phone.

Well that was it. My Wi-Fi just says connecting but never connects. I've rebooted the router and the phone. LG G2

ETea,
Sorry to hear about the trouble with Wi-Fi. Let's get you connecting again. Are other Wi-Fi capable devices able to connect without issue? Go to Settings and touch Wi-Fi. Touch your network and select "Forget." Touch "Search" on the bottom. Once the phone detects the network again, touch the network, enter your password and select connect. Let us know if you get connected.

Sierra Wireless Aircard - not receiving data while connected to the network

Hello,
Can anyone please help me out here please.
I have a wireless internet connection on the Bigpond 3g network in Australia. It uses the Sierra Wireless Aircard 880U and the Bigpond connection manager software (version 2.10.18) to connect to the internet. This has been running pretty fine since I installed it some 4 months ago.
Now in the last 3 weeks I've been having connection problems, or actually I'm still connected, but data just suddenly stops coming in. The connection manager software states that I'm still connected to the 3g network; and I can see that data is still sent from my mac (the software tracks the data sent and data received); however there's no more data coming in (or very little, as in bytes), and Safari (or any other application like Skype, the widgets or mail) eventually fails (just happened again: "Safari could not open the page “http://discussions.apple.com/post!post.jspa?forumID=1222&reply=false” because the server is not responding" - while I was still connected according to the connection manager).
Also I can't ping anymore. Packets are sent out, but nothing comes back.
Now I've spent the last 3 weeks on the phone with Bigpond support but they can't resolve the problem. We have tried all the resources; including reinstalling the software, de- and reactivating my account, rebooting, removing and reconnecting the device, creating a specific location for the wireless card as to reduce any possible interference from airport, etc. But this hasn't resolved the problem.
The support people are now stating that it is not their device or software that is faulty (as the can see that I'm connected to the network just fine on their side), but something specific to my Mac that is causing the data problem and that I need to contact mac support.
The annoying fact is that the problem is erratic. Usually when I start up my mac in the morning; I can connect and surf the web without a problem, but later in the day, the internet connection will fail. I will restart the mac and bigpond connection manager and sometimes I may be able to get back online, but most of the time there is no more data (or very little data) coming in even though the connection manager tells me I am connected to the network and data is going out and very little coming back in (a few kilobytes at the most). Personally I have the impression that the Bigpond connection manager software is not too stable, but I can't put my finger on it.
Also the connection manger software seems to behave erratic. Sometimes it is connected and I can surf fine, while it states that it is (still) determining the IP adress, other times it will show a valid IP adress but I'm not getting data (or vice versa). Also I've been getting other error messages, like: "unable to initialise the device" and a mac popup message: " a modem error ocurred; cannot negotiate a valid set of ppp...."
Hopefully theres someone who can give me a hand here based on what I've written. I'm at wits end. Just let me know if I need to supply need more info;
thanks

I have just discovered another aspect of this issue.
If I have the Macbook connected to my router which is then connected to the Mac Pro but the router is not connected to the internet then PS on the Macbook starts up with no problem.
If the Mac Pro is not connected to the Router then PS will not start up on the Mac Book.
I suspect that this behavour started after I installed 10.5.7 - however as I cannot recollect starting up PS in standalone mode prior to last week before I installed 10.5.7 via the combo package.
So any clues please

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus will not print but is connected and says that the print job is 100% Complete

Hi All,
I'm printing from a MacBook Pro using OSX Lion. It says that Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is connected and that the print jop is
100% complete except that nothing comes out of the printer. I've done all of the test prints and they've printed just fine.
I tired all of the troubleshooting steps listed on the support guide and still nothing. HELP!

Not a reply but another plea for help.
There seem to be so many people with wireless problems that a) it seems silly to start a new thread and b) which one to enter my own plea.
-Printer bought about 2~3 weeks into Sept 2012
-Installed onto Macbook Pro running Lion (full updated at that time)
-Both wireless scanning from printer to computer and initiated from computer worked fine.
-Printer, with full choice of duplex, layout etc, worked fine. (Even left 5star feedback somewhere!)
-Set up eprint. That OK, too. Fine from iPad2 and SE Arc S printing photos.
-Somewhere along the line it stopped communicating with my MBP
-Out of interest, since there seemed to be no problems with an Acer laptop running Vista, I booted the MBP from an external drive on which I'd done a backup of my 10.6 system iMac (>300Km away: can't try that). Installed HP software from disc. Seemed fully functional. Odd. Very odd.
-Restarting with Lion on MBP, tried again. Looks as if it might work, but loses connectivity. Tried manual address on printer.
-Booting from 10.6 system again, reinstalled Lion on MBP (wondering if conflict between HP and Apple updates)
-Reinstalled HP software from disc.
Still didn't work.
-Brought Lion up to date. Downloaded most recent dmg file from HP. Looked for updates. Have applied firmware update to printer
8600 doesn't list my MBP as available computer to scan to
[But all the test pages done whilst in HP Utility, and others, get sent through]
Am getting rather fed-up with all this; never, ever before have I had so much printer problem.
There seem to be a number of Lion users out there with the same problem. So far -but very infrequently tried- other machines/systems seem OK, therefore I am coming to the conclusion that it is an Apple<> HP conflict. If not sorted soon the printer will be returned as it is not fit for purpose. I'll revert to using my seldom problematic, non duplex A3 Brother.
Hrumph
Please help, someone! Either with a pointer to something I've not yet tried or by analysis and rapid availablity of updated software.
Thanks,
Mike W

Clear Wireless Modem not communicating with Time Capsule

I have a clear wireless home modem and am having connection issues with my time capsule. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you resolve it? I know the modem is working because when I connect the ethernet directly into my computer it works. Help!?

Is this a new TC?
Most important.. did you power cycle the modem. If this is a cable network pure modem ie no router function.. did you power down the modem for say 20min at least?? Then power up modem wait a couple of min for it to stabilize then power up the TC.
If the TC is bridged this is not necessary.. ie your cable modem is also a router.
Here is a bit of detail about checking the wireless is ok.. but IMHO the likely issue is not wireless per se.
Did you use identical wireless names? If so try deleting all the old names in the computer under the wifi network preferences.
Select each one and use the minus to delete it.
Then redo the configuration for the TC.
No luck start over .. factory reset the TC use all new names.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric will give you much less problems in the future.
Still no luck make sure you have ipv6 set correctly.. ie link local only and check the gateway (router in applespeak) and dns values are correct.. dns is not on the main page.. it has a separate tab.

My Airport has a Wi-Fi connection but doesnt connect to any device

Hi,
I have Comcast with a Motorola SURFboard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 high-speed cable modem connected to a new AirPort Time Capsule. When I set up the Wi-Fi connection and check with the Airport utility the internet is connected and the Airport is connected but my IPad and IPhone cannot connect to the Airport.

AirPort Time Capsule is not compatible with any other routers except for its own supported routers
Not exactly. That all depends on what service you want the other router and Apple router to provide. For example, I use a Cisco router to run the network, with several Apple AirPorts set up as wireless access points. Everything is compatible.
As far as this post is concerned, I think you overlooked an important fact here......that being that the Motorola SB6141 is a simple modem......not a router.
Apple does not make modems, and if there is an official Apple "compatible" modem list, Apple Support does not know about it, nor does Google.

Internal fax modem not answering but sending ok

My iMac G5 internal fax modem will send a fax with no problem (how do I change the number of attempts it makes to send a fax until it gets thru successfully?) BUT, it will not answer incoming calls even though I have set the Print & Fax System Preference to Answer After 2 Rings (I tried other numbers of rings with no success)?
When I connect a telephone (in place of the modem) it will ring when a call comes in and it can be answered normally. I don't have a normal fax machine to test on this line.
This phone line can be split (with a filter on one side) so an ADSL modem can simultaneously use the line. I removed the splitter/filter so the connection is direct from the phone company to my iMac modem with no other devices on this line, but all remains the same; outgoing fax is fine, incoming calls don't get answered by the modem.
Can this be corrupt preferences, like if the Fax Prefs are stuck with the Receive Faxes on the Computer box unchecked? Can I delete the PrintAndFax.prefPane or some other file to get a fresh Pref?
Any other ideas? Thanks, Jim

I hate to experiment on my own stuff when stuff is working, so I didn't see what would happen if I unchecked all of the following boxes, so I have to ask, you do have one or more of the Save to {folder}, Email to {email address}, or Print on printer {printer} checked, right?
Have you (or to your knowledge, anyone else) ever modified your /usr/bin/fax file to take advantage of the distinctive ring feature offered by many telephone companies? I have mine configured to only answer on my phone line's distinctive ring because I share the phone line with my home voice service. If you have a line of text in that file that reads like:
INIT="-iZ -i&FE0&D2S7=120 -i&C0-SDR=2" (or "SDR=3" or "SDR=4", etc.), that might explain why your modem isn't going off-hook, too.
I don't know if there is, and where a boolean for Receive faxes on this computer is stored -- I don't see it in my /Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.FaxPrefs.plist.
You have a /Library/PreferencePanes/PrintAndFax.prefPane???
