Wireless Network Name dissapeared?!

Hi, I have an Intel Macbook. Went away this weekend and when I came back, could no longer see the name of my wireless network! I can see it if I use my cell phone to connect via wireless lan, so I know it's still technically working. Is there a fix for this? I can see other networks, just not mine! I have a TCom Speedport W 700V as a router.

This is a long shot, given that your cell phone can see it, but SSID Broadcast didn't somehow get disabled in the router, did it? Or maybe the transmit power get backed down to minimum?

  • HELP!!!  WIRELESS NETWORK NAME CHANGE

    Does anyone know how to change the wireless network name on a linksys wireless-G router? I can find any software ANYWHERE that will work on a mac. is there any mac drivers or anything out there for this product?

    You need to use your web browser to acces the router. Does your documentation give you an IP address for the router or perhaps a web url? If so type that into your browser and the setting should become available. You will need a user name and password to reach the settings. This may be printed on the bottom of the router. Or try admin for the users name and password for the password.

  • WRT54G Wireless network name problem

    My router keeps reseting its wireless network name by itself back to the default "linksys" setting, without any interaction from me.  The router is protected with a non default password.

    Open routers set up page ....... under wireless tab ..... change the network name (SSID) to any non linksys name ......
    Make sure to click save settings after this ......
    If still after some time it is changing back to linksys .....
    Check the firmware version under status tab ..........
    If required update download the latest firmware from http://linksys.com/download .....

  • Time machine setup - how to change 'wireless network name' and settings?

    I have moved laptop to Mountain Lion.
    This is the first time to backup to Timecapsule.
    I went to Settings then Select Disk and selected existing Time Machine.
    It took more than 30 minutes and seemed stuck on 'Preparing ....".
    I cancelled and tried to 'Setup Time Capsule not  listed"...
    The system recognised the Time Capsule but I see that the network settings is my old 'wireless network' name.
    How do I change this to the correct network name and ensure that the settings are correct? 
    I think if this is corrected, the backup will work.
    Thanks in advance.

    Enter the PIN on the WPS-enabled router or other networking device.

  • Hiding wireless network name (SSID)

    For security reasons I'd like to be able to hide my wireless network name through my homehub but when I choose this option in the homehub settings my tablet says it's not in range, yet my laptop is still able to connect wirelessly.
    I suspect that this is something to do with the option I have available on the laptop of connecting even if the network is not broadcasting, something I don't seem to have available on my tablet (Archos cobalt 80, Android version 4.0.4).
    Is there a way around this?

    I don't know why your tablet won't connect but there really is little security if any to be gained by hiding your SSid. Any serious hacker can find your SSid in seconds. It's more important to have a good passkey for the wireless connection.
    If you download inSSider which is a free wireless scanner I believe it will see hidden SSids without any problem. Download it and give it a try.

    With that in mind it may be as well just to let your SSid be broadcast and your tablet will connect without problem.

  • Arris CM820 - Change Wireless Network Name for Arris CM820

    Hi-How do I change the wireless network name for Arris CM820? The support page lists many other kinds of modems but not this one. Thanks. Hardware: Mac OSX 10.9.95

    The AirPort Express is exactly what you need, but when you attach it to a cable modem, you need to power cycle the modem to pickup the MAC address of the new device.
    I suggest you do a full reset of the AirPort by pressing the reset button on it for over 30 seconds, power down the modem, connect the modem to the AirPort, then power up everything, then use the AirPort utility to configure the AirPort and your wi-fi settings from scratch.  If everything's good, then the LED on the AirPort will be green and you will have connectivity.
    One warning, if you have 105 service from Comcast, the Express will limit your speeds to 90 or so as it has a 10/100 WAN / LAN ports.  For 105 speeds and higher you would need a AirPort Extreme.

  • Necessary to have the same wireless network name for using WDS?

    I have set up two Airports in WDS mode. I did this so my ps3 could get on the internet via ethernet (its an older model, and doesn't have wireless, so you have to use an ethernet bridge). I set up the WDS fine, and my Airport extreme base station (the square one) is the WDS main, while as my old Airport extreme (snow) is the remote, which I use to run a cable from to my ps3 to access the internet. This works fine when I have the network names for each base station the same.
    I was under the impression that you could have two different named wireless networks for two base stations (i.e .they have different names), as long as you have the MAC addresses set up correctly for the WDS settings (i.e. main and remote). However, when I do that, I can no longer access the ethernet from the remote base station on my PS3. I can only access the ethernet via my PS3 if I have the wireless network for each base station literally named the same. Seems kind of strange if you have the MAC addresses set up correctly for the main and remote, as shouldn't they be talking to each other via that mode, and not the actual wireless network name?
    I would like to have each base station with its own wirelss network name, so I can differentiate between them. I get some strange issues when my airport card scans, it frequently switches between base stations, and this slows down certain programs (i.e. VPN connections for mail etc).
    I set this up pretty literally from the airport guide from the apple site.

    I was under the impression that you could have two different named wireless networks for two base stations (i.e .they have different names), as long as you have the MAC addresses set up correctly for the WDS settings (i.e. main and remote).
    No that is not correct. Since the 2 are working together to create a single wireless network, they must use the same network name.

  • Officejet 4620 wireless network name change

    I have searched this forum till i'm blue
    I have an officejet 4620 connected wirelessly to my Mac running Mavericks.
    It was working FINE until I recently changed the network name in my house.
    So how do I get the printer to see the new network name?  Please don't say re-install the software?
    On a side note there is a good chance I will be upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite soon. So if this will solve it then I will just wait for that. Otherwise, if someone can tell me an easy way to do this i'm all ears.
    Thanks

    Hi @DeputyDawgATL , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you're experiencing connectivity issues.  I'd like to help!
    I would recommend performing a power reset.   Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I'd also suggest this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Changing Wireless network name on Photosmart 5520

    I cannot print documents from my network and I think it it because of network confusion. The test page prints fine so I know I have connection to the printer.  I have two wireless networks in my home and the printer display shows network#2.  I want it to use network #1.  How do I change the network name on my printer display panel?

  • Wireless network name

    I would like to change my wireless(airPort) network name. Is there a way to do that through my macbook or do i have to contact my internet provider?
    Thank you

    You need to get into the settings of your router. See the router's manual for instructions.

  • TS1398 this didn't help me at all. out of the clear clue my iPad can't even scan for wireless networks. even when I type in my home wireless network name. my phone can connect to it but for whatever reason my iPad won't. nothing I've tried works. I'm ****

    believe me I've tried EVERTHING and my iPad still 'can't scan for wireless networks'. it happened all of a sudden and is really really frustrating. I really don't want to have to drive 40 minutes to the nearest 'genius bar'. I'm about ready to break this thing over my knee. I've even tried the frig trick. it worked for about 30 seconds. and then? nothing. any non sarcastic suggestions?

    Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
    To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
    If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
    The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
    Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
    Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
    The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
    (What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)

  • How do I change the name of my wireless network without screwing everything up?

    How do I change the name of my wireless network without screwing everything up?  Thanks.

    OK, thanks for the updated information. Please change your profile when you can.
    If you change the network name, keep in mind that any device that connects now will need to connect again to your "new" network.
    On your Mac.....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit in the upper right corner of the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the screen
    Edit/backspace out the current wireless network name and then type in the name that you want to use
    A few hints....avoid using blank spaces, and also avoid using any special characters like an apostrophe, asterisk, dollar sign, etc. Keep the name short....no more than 20 characters, fewer would be better and simpler to manage.
    Click Update at the lower right of the window and wait a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart with the new settings. You are all set now.

  • I have an airport express, which I want to use with my broadband providers router to create a second wireless access point but not with the same network name etc.

    In effect, I want to have my providers router working upstairs and the aiport express downstairs connected via wi fi. The airport would have a different network name, then allowing me to connect the children to the access point. This would allow me to turn their network off at times of day etc.
    any ideas ?

    I want to have my providers router working upstairs and the aiport express downstairs connected via wi fi
    Sorry, but the AirPort Express....or any other Apple router......cannot do this.
    In order to do what you want, you will need to establish an Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on your "main" router to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express.
    Configure the AirPort Express to "create a wireless network" using a wireless network name, and password that you select. As far as controlling connections, you can use the settings in Timed Access to establish rules about when the kids and cannot connect.

  • How do I include my Airport Express with my base Airport Extreme to extend my in house wireless network??

    How do I set up wireless network extension/expansion adding Airport Express to existing Airport Extreme Network??

    OK, thanks for the clear information, this really helps.
    Locate the AirPort Express about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area that needs more wireless signal coverage. The more that you have line-of-sight between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express, the better the performance will be.
    Power off the AirPort Express for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button firmly...and keep holding for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power cord back into the back of the AirPort Express
    Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    This process is tricky.....you almost have to have 3 hands to do this.
    If you have an iPad or iPhone, the setup is almost too easy to be true. In that case.....
    Tap on Settings (gear icon) on the home screen
    Tap on WiFi
    Under the heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station....
    Tap on AirPort Express
    The utility will analyze things for a minute, then suggest that the Express be configured to extend the AirPort Extreme network
    Type in  a device name that you want to use, then tap Next
    The utility will set up everything for you automatically. When you see the message of Setup Complete, tap Done and you are good to go.
    If you want to use the Mac running (10.6.8) for the setup.......
    Make sure that the wireless is turned on at the Mac
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Select the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab under the row of icons
    Enter a device name for the AirPort Express
    Enter a device password for the AirPort Express
    Verify the device password
    Adjust the Time Zone setting
    No other adjustments are needed here
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Set the Wireless Mode to Extend a Wireless Network
    Click on the Wireless Network Name box and your AirPort Extreme network name should appear as a choice. Click to select that....or manually enter the exact name of the AirPort Extreme wireless network
    Make sure that Wireless Security is set to use WPA2 Personal
    Enter the wireless network password for the AirPort Extreme
    Verify the wireless network password for the AirPort Extreme
    Click Update at the lower right of the window and wait a full minute for the Express to restart. A green light on the Express at this point will be a very good sign that things are up and running correctly.
    Your Mac will automatically select the AirPort with the best signal quality. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you may need to manually turn off the WiFi when you move the device near another AirPort, and then turn WiFi back on to get the iOS device to connect to the best signal.
    Good luck, please post on your results with the method that you choose.
