Wireless Network Not Working In Bootcamp

I have an early 2006 MacBook Pro running on Snow Leopard and I just ran Bootcamp and installed Windows Xp Pro Service Pack 2. My wireless network adaptor is an Atheros AR5006X. I've installed the drivers in Windows from the Snow Leopard disc and the hardware is recognized, and wireless networks are detected. But I can't connect to any network. I've tried going into Advanced Settings, disabled firewall, I've tried manually setting it up as a preferred network, and I've tried a few other versions of the Atheros drivers from the Internet. Nothing has worked. It always says,
"Windows is unable to connect to the selected network. The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available networks, and try to connect again."
The signal strength can even be strong and it still won't connected. I never had this problem when I first used bootcamp with the same windows xp sp2, and with the original Leopard drivers disc that you burned when configuring bootcamp.
Please help. Thanks.

There are a number of discussions on this topic. In my previous response, I was referring to the first thread:
Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Not Working in Boot Camp
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6415376&#6415376
I got my wireless keyboard to work in Bootcamp/XP
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6314636&#6314636
keyboard & mouse stop working after apple driver install
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6276210&#6276210
It seems that the basic theme is that if you already installed the Leopard drivers, you will need a non-wireless (USB) keyboard to use/fix it. At this point, you will then need to go and setup the bluetooth to the wireless keyboard. My wireless mouse worked, so that was not a problem -- just the keyboard. I tried using the USB keyboard and seting up the bluetooth to the wireless keyboard, but I could not get it to recognize the bluetooth keyboard. It seems to recognize it for a brief instant, and then report and error.
I've gotten tired of iterating over this issue, so I haven't read through all of the threads. There may be a better one out there that I've missed...

Extending wireless network, not working?

ive been trying to set up a new wireless network for a few days now and while i got this network up and running i still doubt if its exactly what i want.
i have extreme(n), time capsule(n) and an express(n). im using the extreme as my "base" which is connected to the internet and both the capsule and express are connected by wires. but whenever i use the setting "extend a wireless network", the stations will just become undetectable and not working at all. so to get my network to work i configured them all with "create a wireless network" giving them all the same network name which is working fine. but is this even roaming?

Welcome to the discussions!
When you are having extending difficulties, it's often helpful to temporarily locate the Express near your main router...across the room or in an adjacent room and test to see if that works.
If things worked fine for 6 months and suddenly you have problems, that may indicate that a new wireless network near you has been added at one of your neighbors, which is causing interference on your network.
Cordless phones are a real problem as well. My neighbor...across the street....can literally knock me off my network if he is in his front hard talking on his cordless phone. I found this out simply by accident, otherwise I would still be blaming Apple for stuff that worked fine for months and then suddenly did not work.
If the Express works close to the main router, then move the Express further away and test again. Most users locate the Express too far away from the main router when they try to extend a wireless network. A good starting location is a point that is about 1/2 to 2/3 of the distance between the main router and the area that needs more coverage.
Open AirPort Utility and click on your AirPort Express on the left and look for its AirPort ID on the right. Jot that down.
When you are testing the extension of the Express, move your laptop close the Express, and hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID. This should match the AirPort ID of the Express, indicating that your computer is connecting to the AirPort Express.

Bluetooth and wireless network not working

About a week ago my iphone 4s stopped discovering my bluetooth devices. Today, it will not let me log onto my wireless network as well. I have reset both my phone and router, but nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions?

While trying to log onto my wireless network I get an error message stating that I have used an incorrect password, but the password is correct and works with my other devices.

Wireless network not working

Hello,
I have a SMC7004VWBR Barricade Router, part # 7509821, version 2. I purchased the Router in 2004 and it has worked flawlessly since then up until last week. I have a home office network that consists of 2 desktop computers connected to the router via Ethernet cables and a laptop computer (Macintosh iBook, OS 10.3.9) connected via wireless (Airport card in laptop). My Internet connection is via DSL modem.
Beginning last week the iBook's wireless connection to the network stopped functioning on a consistent basis. When I wake the iBook from sleep there is no signal coming from the network even through airport is on and airport is selected in the system preference pane. I have played with all the settings and still no connection. However, after leaving the iBook off over the weekend while I was away, when I re-booted, the signal came back! But then it disappeared again after putting the iBook to sleep and then re-booting. This happened again after the iBook was off overnight and I re-booted. Now I cannot get the signal to appear at all, even if I turn off the iBook for a few hours.
In all other respects the network works fine. If I connect an Ethernet cable to the iBook from the router, the connection comes back on via ethernet, but airport stays disconnected.
I brought the iBook to a public library yesterday that has a wireless network and it immediately found the network and stayed connected. Does this mean the issue is in the router?
I would very much appreciate any help you can offer.
thank you,
Bob W.

Firstly what OS are you currently on? Guess you have check things like the deivce driver is installed, the device is in switched the on position (you did say yes to that) and not disabled in the network connections either... If you have done them, something else you can check is that the WLAN AutoConfig service is enabled and started. To do this open services, this can be done by the run command (Win Key + R) and type "Services.msc". Press ok. Near the bottom of the list that appears should be WLAN AutoConfig, check the service is started and its set to Automatic. If this helps yipee if not no idea what else it could be.

Wireless Network not Working as expected. Please Help

I have Verizon Fios install in my home. I use to have Comcast. This is the situation, before the Fios my linksys wireless router was connected directly to a modem. Now my linksys wireless router is connected to the Verizon wireless router/modem.
The problem I am having is this, my linksys wireless router is still transmitting and the new Verizon router is also transmitting. I can connect to both but only the Verizon wireless router seem to be working.
The linksys wireless router, even though I can connect to its network, is not working, that is I can't go on the internet with it.

You have to configure the router for DSL connection. Try these steps: 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 you are getting Ip - 192.168.1.X ...change the LAN Ip to 192.168.2.1 ....Power cycle for 3-4 minutes ...Try going online
If still not working ...use Internet Connection type as PPPOE .... Use Username & Password provided by Service Provider ....Click save settings....
Look for WAN IP address again under status page ....

Satellite A100 - wireless/network not working

Hi everyone I'm new here and while I like to think I know a bit about PC's I seem to forget more than I learn.
I have a Satellite A100 lappy that was connected wirelessly to a home network and was working fine. After trips away using another USB wireless device I would return home turn switch on wireless and connection obtained straight away .
On a recent trip to Bali, I discovered that there are free wireless hot spots everywhere, however on trying to connect i experienced problems with connecting and could hook in, past my expertise so went to some guy who fiddled with Lappy I wss then able to connect where ever I went, great, until returning home.
Switch on wireless and cant connect , I ahve tried everything and have had to resort to cable connection.
I have noticed when using Toshiba wireless tool their is a network show connection to router but stops at Lappy with !
Consideration has been given to a clean install but that seems drastic.
*Help, please*

Are you using XP or Vista?
Try this:
1) Is it a reception/interference problem? Try relocating the Laptop or Wifi Access Point
2) Download and install the latest Wifi Drivers from the Toshiba website
3) Try disabling the Firewall in Windows, or your 3rd party Firewall
4) Use Static IP Addresses, instead of using DHCP (Dynamic IP Addresses)
5) Upgrade the Firmware in your Wifi Access Point. (download from the manufacturers website)

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with the macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network though. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with two Macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network and it's telling me I'm connected but Safari says I'm not connected to the internet. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

Thank you, I've tried the support tips (resetting the network, checking security settings, etc.) and rebooting the network devices several times to no avail. I've actually been working on this for several days (when I can afford to have the network down).
What I have to determine is what has changed in the setup...from when it WAS working just fine with all devices.

ExpressCard/34 not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Apple's BIOS emulation does not give enough resources.

MacBook Pro unibody, 15" 2009
ExpressCard/34 (Card is by Transcend TS-RDF1, JMicron chip for SD card) is not working in BootCamp Windows 7 64-bit. Windows reports:
"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
Other data points: Card works fine in Mac OSX, worked under Windows XP 32-bit (initially reported same problem, but works after reboot).
Checking the forums there seems to be no actual device suggested to actually remove that would help the problem. And even if it was, the concept is ridiculous. What other device would you like to remove? Display adapter? Network adapter? No way. I use all available devices and don't want to compromise.
It seems like BIOS emulation does not allocate enough resources to ExpressCard.
Are others having the same problem?
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Is there anyone at Apple who cares to provide a solution?

It is not a driver problem, but a problem in the BIOS emulated by bootcamp on some (not all) MBP models. So unless Apple fixes it in bootcamp, there is no real solution. And obviously, Apple doesn't care. They are dropping the Expresscard slot anyway.
Unfortunately, this poster seems right: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=912259 :
The 2008/2009 Macbook Pros don't allow to use the ExpressCard slot because of EFI/Bootcamp errors (Windows Vista/7 cannot allocate an IRQ to the slot). You don't need any drivers for using an ExpressCard slot on Windows, you only need the drivers for the corresponding card you are using.
Bootcamped XP allowed to use the slot, but you could not use hot-plugging.
And from the Sonnet site ( http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_express34.html ) :
Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 not supported under Windows 7 or Windows Vista when running on unibody MacBook Pro computers. The problem is caused by the MacBook Pro's BIOS emulation, which doesn't allocate enough resources to support certain kinds of Expresscard/34 devices, such as a SATA controller, in these operating systems.

HP 5524 Wireless does not work after firmware upgrade

HI,
I have just purchased an HP5524. After initial problems setting up the WPA key from the printer screen, I connected via USB, found the printer and swapped to wireless successfuly. I then installed the printer software on all my computers at home successfully over wireless.
The printer then needed a firmware upgrade to support eprint (?), which is successfully connected, downloaded the fireware, installed and went through the boot cycles successfully.
However, ever since wireless will not work. Before I return it to the retailer as "not fit for purpose" I thought I would ask the forum. The diagnostics downloaded a tool, which I went through, but this did not offer solutions that I had not already tried.
Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for posting you query,
In order to resolve the issue, please make sure the printer is placed closer to the router and uninstall the printer drivers already installed and then start the instalaltion and seelct teh connection type as wireless network. Then select use USB to configure wireless and when prompted conenct the USB cable and then select the network and enter the encryption key follow the onscreen instructions.
If the issue still persisits, please open the browser and in the address bar enter the IP address of the router and click on GO. This will take you to the router configuration page. On the router page, please click on Wireless Setup and please make sure SSID Broadcast is enabeld and the Wireless Mode is set to Mixed or 802.11 B/G/N and the Wireless Channel is set to 11 and click on Apply. Then try to connect the printer to the network by using the CD.

If i install my airport extreme using a pc, does that pc need to always be in the house for the wireless network to work?

Do I need to have the PC that I set up teh airport extreme with in teh house for the wireless network to work?

No. You would only need the PC to run the AirPort Utility if you ever need to make any configuration changes to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS). You can even do that from a remote location. A computer is not required in order for other wireless clients to connect to the AEBS for network/Internet acess.

MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122

MacBook Air wifi internet shared network not working on tethered android phone GT B5122
I have created a password protected wifi internet network on my Macbook air. I tethered by Andriod phone onto this network, but the internet connection works intermittently on the phone, and when it stops working the network continues to show as connected to the shared network mostly(other times it keeps renewing the wifi IP address on the Andriod phone).
Also the network the MBA is connected to, is a hardwired one using a SSH login account in a student accomadations.
I am not sure, but all the restarting and refreshing of system, phone and wifi sharing and re-enabling wifi is not reparing the internet connecting on the wifi network for the phone
Really puzzled, if this is one of the Apple, Andriod compatability issues.
Cheers,
Vivek

Hi.
I'm having trouble with the wireless connection on my new home hub 3. Most devices will connect easily, but there are three devices that have trouble connecting. These are an Android Phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini), an android tablet (Sony Tablet S) and an iPod. All of these devices work perfectly on other network connections, and other devices in the house are quite happy connecting to the network.
The Androids can see the network, and will try to connect to it, but when they do they just go through a loop of "connecting">>"acquiring IP address">>"disconnected". I have tried resetting the Home Hub with a pin, and that lets the devices connect for about 24 hours, but after that time they stop connecting again.
I'm really not sure what to do to fix the problem, so I will very much appreciate some help.
Many Thanks.
My lads SGMini connects perfectly to our hub3
Have you installed the BTFon app to these devices?
If so, you could delete it and then see what hapens.....

Trouble connecting to wireless network at work

I am having trouble connecting to a wireless network at work. Previously I have been able to connect to it, but today it says I'm connected but won't load any web pages.
In System Preferences under Network Status it says: "AirPort is connected to the network lynksys. AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet."
Any ideas? Thanks!
Becky

beckymagic, Welcome to the discussion area!
Many times this message is received when MAC address filtering has been enabled on the wireless base station. [This is also referred to as an "access list".] I suggest that you talk with the system admin and see if you need to add the MAC address of the AirPort card of your Mac to this list.

Keyboard wireless key not working after upgrading to windows 8.1

Hello,
I am having hp pavilion dv6-6165tx notebook, where keyboard having a wireless button that turns ON and OFF all wireless devices, After upgrading to windows 8.1, HP Connection Manager is not getting installed, as well as Key is not working, key color turns red and white but no action is performed.
Kindly suggest me some solution.
Note: HP Doesn't provide drivers for windows 8/8.1 ONLY WINDOWS 7 for hp pavilion dv6-6165tx.
Thanks.

Hi @Jayesh_Bhadja ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-6165tx Notebook and the Wireless keyboard not working correctly. Here is a link to troubleshoot the keyboard.
The HP Connection Manager is something that is for Windows 7 not Windows 8.1. I would uninstall this from your Notebook. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating. It has a troubleshooting tool in this.
Make sure all your updates have been completed. I would try restarting my Notebook a few times.
If that does not help I would uninstall the keyboard from the Device manager.
Thanks.

Why is my wireless network not found?

I have just installed HP Deskjet F4500 on my PC. I want to connect to my wireless network connection but it keeps telling me "wireless network not found". (I am using my wireless so I know that the wireless connection is fine.) I have all correct details (correct network, SSDI, WPE encryption code) for installation but no luck.
I have a Netgear DG834N router. I did run the www.hp.com/go/networksetup analyser which told me that HP is not currently supporting the router. Can that be right?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

OK, let's go check the router's settings:
Type 192.168.1.1 into a browser. The login is 'admin' and the password is 'password'.
On the left side, choose Wireless Settings under the Setup heading. You should see your SSID. Make sure the Mode is set to 145Mbps. Here you can choose your Security Options. I highly recommend WPA2-PSK (AES). If you have WEP, please change it. WEP is not secure. If you change your security settings, choose a passphrase that is at least 13 characters, numbers and letters, upper and lower case. You will have to re-enter this into all of your wireless devices.
Now, lower on the left side, choose Wireless Settings under the Advanced heading. Make sure that SSID broadcast is checked.
If you changed anything, check Apply toward the bottom.
Let me know what you found.
