Wireless netwrok help

Hi,
I appologise if this has been posted before.
I am having trouble connecting to the internet using a wireless connection. I have been online before using the computer although i may have deleted some stting by accident. I now try and connect via airport, and my network setting wont configure. Can anyone please help. I need a basic explanation for this, im a newbie to mac!
Cheers

One thing you can try is to contact your internet service provider and ask them if they can help you. If you have lost or deleted any of their settings, they should be able to provide you with that information, and maybe even walk you through the setup.
It may be that you can find the settings on your iPhone, but I don't have an iPhone myself so couldn't tell you how to proceed.
Does your airport not work at all anywhere, or does it just not work on your home network? If it works elsewhere, you probably have a problem with your home configuration.
Can you turn Airport on and off in the menu bar?

  • New to the wireless world, help...

    Ok, i got my first iMac a few days ago... love it btw, just getting use to the change from pc.... anyway, my question.
    1: All we have is just a modem right now for the PC downstairs, it's a normal cheap compaq PC, I really wanted wired internet but i don't believe the cable guy will be able to wire from downstairs to upstairs since it's across the house and upstairs, is that possible or not?
    2: My mom called the company when we were first getting the internet and she told them we want to connect two computer, the lady on the phone said, we would need 2 modems..... now i heard you can't have 2 modems on the same internet connection.. or can you? if so, that solves my first problem, i can then do wired for my computer.
    3: If 1 and 2 fail and i have to go wireless, iMac comes with a wireless card/access point in them right? if so, the down stairs computer, i would need a wireless router and a wireless card for it correct? (there is no wireless card in the cheap compaq) ok well, i would think installing a wireless card would be no problem.. i hope.. if it is hard, any tips?
    4: for those who have an xbox 360 and wireless network, does that wireless apdator work good? fast connection and all?

    Your cable installer will more then likely run the cabling externally, up an outside wall and into the room where you want the modem.
    However, you don't need two modems, and there is no reason to pay the cable company for two accounts. You can use a single account and a single modem, just connect the modem to a wired/wireless router and then plug your computers into the router, problem solved.
    As to running the wires upstairs, can't help you with that, since it is to dependent on your homes floor plan. But to give you some common ideas for how to run cabling between floors:
    I ideally in a two story structure you want to use the basement or crawl space for distributing networking wiring to the first floor, and the attic to distribute wiring to the second floor. The usual problem is to get wiring from the basement/crawl space to the attic.
    1) Use closets, when a closet on the first floor aligns with a closet or unused area on the second floor, they (the closets) make it easy to run cabling between floors.
    2) Use utility rooms, laundries, furnace, etc. These rooms like closets usually good choices to use to run cabling between floors.
    3) External, when no other method is available, you can run Ethernet cabling rated for outdoor use along the outside of your home to tie the basement and attic together. Usually when run externally, look for a way to run the cable without it being plainly visible. Good choices are at the corners of a house, near drainage pipe or gutter down spots. Penetrating the house can be done via basement window sashes, and attic soffits or vents. You can also drill through the external wall to closets or utility rooms which in the house.
    Remember to use outdoor rated cabling, it is resistant to cracking a breaking caused by UV exposure, as well as freeze/that cycles. Using plain Ethernet cabling can lead to having to replace it at a later date as it breaks down from exposure to the elements.
    If you live in an area of the country which commonly receives thunderstorms, yo may also wish to have the external cabling connected to a lightning arrester. Good networking stores sell small lightning arresters for Ethernet cabling. You usually won't find these at your local computer store, but a search online should bring up dozens of sources.
    Lastly, you can of course run wirelessly to avoid the wired cabling. However, I usually recommend wired networking whenever possible as it provides faster network access and a great deal more security.

  • Officejet J6450 will NOT connect to laptop wirelessly - PLEASE HELP...

    Good afternoon,
    I just spent almost two hours on the phone with a woman from the HP Tech Support team that I could barely understand (not exaggerating - would be wonderful to bring back customer service to the US - god knows we need some more jobs here!!).  She had me do a number of things, none of which solved my problem - needless to say, it was a very frustrating two hours and now I am very frustrated! 
    My issue is that my laptop will not recognize the wireless Officejet J6450.  I have Comcast broadband cable internet, a Linksys wireless router, an HP desktop, and a Dell laptop (laptop is from employer - I work from home).  I loaded all of the software on my desktop first (connected via USB) and everything worked perfectly.  I used the Network Setup Wizard on the printer and connected to my Linksys wireless router with no issue whatsoever (full signal strength).  I printed a wireless netwok report - no problems were found - all diagnostic tests were a success.  The ethernet adapter wireless network connection IP address on my laptop is 192.168.1.102 and the IP address of the printer is 192.168.1.103.  So then I proceeded to load the software to my laptop for wireless connection - thinking all along how easy getting everything set up has been.  I then loaded the software to the laptop and I got to the part where it asks what type of connection I want to set up.  I chose wireless and it asked me to temporarily plug the laptop to the printer via USB cable.  I did so and it began searching for my wireless network.  I selected my wireless network and it began searching for my printer.  This is were I hit the brick wall - it could not find my printer.  I tried again - chose my network, tried to find the printer - no such luck.
    I then did a Google search and checked these boards regarding alternative solutions.  I tried installing through Windows printers (BTW - laptop is running XP SP2).  Selected Local Printer, unchecked the automatically select box, chose standard TCP/IP, etc. - that didn't work either.
    I consider myself fairly PC savvy and I am perplexed by this - just doesn't make any sense why the laptop won't detect the wireless printer. 
    I would greatly appreciate any guidance regarding my connectivity issue as I do NOT want to call HP Tech Support back.
    One other thing, the Tech Support lady told me to reset the printer by turning it off and then having me press the pound button and the number 6 before turning it back on.  Not sure why she had me do this, but it reset the ink cartridges and alignment and now the printer no longer reports how much ink is left.  Any way to fix that?
    Lastly, out of curiosity, why does HP recommend not leaving the wireless enabled on the printer when not using it?  Doesn't make any sense to have to turn off wireless everytime after printing and then turn it back on when needing to print again.
    Sorry for this long post - hopefully this is enough information for you to help me out.
    Thanks in advance!
    Jeremy

    Hi Jeremy,
    First, I have no idea why we are recommending turning off the printer's radio when you are not using it.  The only thing I can image is that if you leave the radio on and in its default configuration (SSID = hpsetup, no security, Ad-Hoc), then you are susceptible to neighbors or war-drivers using your printer.
    Next, you have an interesting problem.  You've done everything I would have tried (check connectivity by browsing the printer's internal web page, turn off the firewall, try to manually add the printer).
    I know you've disabled the firewall.  I might recommend uninstalling the firewall temporarily, then installing the SW again to see if that works.  Also, you might check to see that you don't have another firewall accidentally enabled (maybe the Windows firewall?).
    Finally -- is there anything unusual about your wireless-router configuration?  Have you set any port-forwarding or other advanced settings?  BTW -- what model wireless-router are you running?
    And of course there's a rather painful step to try that usually works:  reinstall the OS on your laptop and then install the printer SW (I'm somewhat embarrassed to suggest this but it does seem to work).

  • WRT1900AC & Xbox 360 Wireless Setup Help

    Hello,
    I recently just picked up the WRT1900AC and I have 2 Xbox 360's in the house, both of them are having trouble connecting to XBOX Live. I have opened up the following ports on the single port forwarding tab in the routers security settings.
    Port 88 (UDP)
    Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
    Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
    Port 80 (TCP)
    Port 500 (UDP)
    Port 3544 (UDP)
    Port 4500 (UDP)
    So when i do this, it seems to work, but i lose all wirless connectivity on my computer (which is also connected wirelessly). Removing port 53, seems to resolve the issue, but any game updates on the xbox 360 are slow. I'am currently using firmware current Version 1.1.8.164461.
    Can someone please guide me into properly setting this up so that it works correctly.

  • Wireless printer help

    I have an acer laptop.I am using a belkin router.I also have an hp wireless printer.I had everything working right until I changed my internet & phone from cable to satillite to save money.I contacted belkin and they told me taht my problem wwas that I needed a more powerful router.I puchased one from them and I still cannot get my printer to connect.Please help. thank you

    Hello @craftyone61,
    I understand that after changing your internet and phone to a satellite connection your HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-One Printer stopped working over the network with your Windows computer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this wireless connectivity issue. Now, just so you are aware, any time you make a change on your network (network name, password, change of router, or changing service type: satellite) would require you to rerun the wireless setup for your printer to 'allow' your printer access to the network with the new changes present. If you did not run the wireless setup for your HP Deskjet after your service changed from cable to satellite, than you may not require that new router as the reason your printer was failing to work was because it did not have permission to access the new satellite network. To reconfigure the wireless on your printer and resolve this wireless connectivity issue please follow the steps below.
    You will need a USB Cable for the wireless configuration. Do not plug in the USB Cable at this time. Should you have a USB Cable currently connected to your computer from your HP Deskjet, please disconnect that cable before proceeding.
    Step 1: Remove Driver:
    To ensure that there are not duplicates of your printer installed once we've completed the wireless setup of your Deskjet, I am going to have you remove your driver. This way we have a nice clean slate to work with.
    Click on your Start menu
    Select All Programs
    Select the HP folder
    Select the HP Deskjet
    Select Uninstall
    Please follow the onscreen prompts to complete the uninstall. Once the uninstall is complete please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Install and Configure Wireless:
    Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer
    Once the download is complete please follow the onscreen prompts to install your printer
    When prompted choose the 'Wireless' connection method
    You will now see a Wireless Setup Using a USB Connect screen. This screen will prompt you to connect your USB Cable. When prompted, please connect the USB Cable.
    The wireless configuration will now take place
    Once the wireless connection has been established you will be prompted to disconnect the USB Cable
    You should now be able to use your printer wirelessly again.

  • Streaming to a wireless speaker-help

    Hi, I have a bose sound touch wireless speaker system which I stream my itunes across from my macbook.
    The problem is I have to have my mac on to access my itunes account.
    I was wondering if I had itunes match, would I be able to stream from say my iphone (without having to have my macbook on)?
    Also, I am assuming that i am just accessing the tunes in the cloud then so I wont need to store all my songs on my iphone as well as on my macbook...or is that a completely wrong?
    Any help / advice is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    You could try syncing your music from your itunes onto your phone, then playing it to the bose sound touch through your iphone, there is an app for the bose sound touch systems in the app store.
    You cant actually stream music through the iCloud, downloading it from the cloud would be the same as syncing it from your itunes library.
    Altough you could stream from iTunes Radio, (if it is avaialble in your country)

  • Need wireless advise/help.

    The guy down the hall, 20 feet or so, is providing an access code to his wireless network for 10$/month. I do not have an AirPort card but I do have an AirPort slot. I see AftertheMac has APPLE WIRELESS USB AIRPORT CARDS (Compatible with All Wireless Routers
    WIFI 802.11g and 802.11b) for around 50$. I have been reading posts about Belkin and Linksys also working with G4 PowerMacs. Does anyone have any experience with the USB AirPort Card? Anyone in a similar situation have any advise. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    G4 Dual 533Mhz, 1.5ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   FCP 4, Pioneer D111 SuperDrive

    Hi,
    Your model G4 requires the original AirPort card. They're no longer manufactured and can be expensive.
    Avoid USB adapters. They require drivers and aren't that reliable. Instead, look for a wireless PCI adapter (Belkin and MacWireless have them for Macs) or a wireless ethernet adapter (Linksys WET54 or WET11). The ethernet adapters require no drivers and a good wireless PCI card should be compatible with AirPort software.

  • 802.1x with wireless - pls help :(

    I am trying to configure 802.1x on my wireless router (877) but no luck. Here is a part of my config. Radius is on Small Business Server 2008
    aaa new-model
    aaa group server radius rad_eap

    With this config above I go to my laptop and try to connect like to a normal wiif, I can see username/pass box. I type and it fails. But at least the router tries to go to Radius (I can see a lot of debug messages). On Radius it fails with 'IAS INVALID AUTH'. probably because the card is not set up with 802.1x
    When I remove the line 'authentication key-management wpa' I am able to configure my wirless card with 802.1x but when I try to connect, my router does not contact with Radius at all (I know it as I turned on debug for radius and dot1x)

  • Youtube Constantly Buffering: Wired and Wireless, Please Help

    Hi All,
    Hoping someone can shed some light on my issue.  I have a FIOS triple play bundle with 35/35 speeds.  When I run a speed test I typically see 42/38.  The problem starts when I go to watch Youtube videos on any of my 3 consoles.  I have an Xbox, PS3 and a Wii U.  The xbox and the ps3 are both hardwired into the router and the Wii U is wireless.  The problem I run into is that Youtube will constantly buffer almost all the time and render the video unwatchable unless you like a white circle constantly running on your screen.  This happens on all 3 consoles 9 times out of 10.  The strange part is that I log onto my PC, which is hooked wirelessly and I can watch Youtube videos without any sort of trouble.  Both Netflix and HBO GO and other video applications seem to be unaffected on all 3 consoles.  I run into the same problem on my cellphone as well while I have that connected wirelessly where I cannot watch the Youtube videos without constant streaming.  I understand that Verizon doesn't stand behind wireless speeds but the Wii U is not 12 inches below the router and I have trouble on my cell phone within 10 feet and have clear line of sight.  I have called Verizon and they ran me through a speed test and since I was getting higher speeds then what I pay for there is really nothing that they can do.  Any help or suggestions would be wonderful.  Thanks in advance.
    I have the MI424WR-GEN3I router and it is running firmware 40.20.1.
    Quick Edit: just tried to watch a Youtube video on my PC which usually works the best, and I am not even able to start a video at 360P quality.  I just ran 2 speed tests and receieved 43/29. 
    Edit: This can be closed, I just noticed there were 2 posts on the front page about this very same issue.  I give up on watching youtube then I guess. 

    Some folks have blocked a couple offending youtube cache servers and because it routes them to better ones, or directly to youtube instead and there have been mixed results but I think a majority of people have enjoyed better speeds on youtube because of it. 
    You are welcome to try it as well and let us know if it helps.

  • X BOX 360 unable to connect wired or wireless.. help?????????????

    Hi all;
    just bought a new X BOX 360,  ive tried every single solution wireless or wired...i have an actiontec MI424wr current firmware,
    keep getting that MTU incorrect error even tho i did reset it...i tried from 1364 to 1492....ive added the xbox in the router to open the xbox ports..(was a preset) have Universal plug n play on...looks like i am totally out of options..and looking at the googled question...with all the FIOS user that cant use XBOX im not alone..
    also  where the HECK is the direct i want to talk to someone in bangladesh FIOS support number??
    Thanks

    well, when you connect it wireless - do you know if you get an IP address?  you would either see that in the xbox network status screen, or in your router.
    so log into your router by entering http://192.168.1.1 into a web browser.   admin is your username, and your password is on the service tag of your router.  its located under the bar code and it starts with a CSJx0000000  it IS case sensitive. 
    when you log in click on my network at the top and see if the xbox is listed there. 
    If it's listed in there, (which I am assuming since you can use the preconfigured port forward) then you may just need to increase the MTU to 1500 in the router, or experiment with the MTU in the advanced settings.  
    Where are you putting that MTU ?  in the xbox or in the router?  the router is set to 1500 so maybe you should match it up.  There's  a lot of people that can connect their xbox live to the routers, so you shouldn't have too much difficulty, but we can try to help you. 
    I would start from scratch personally.  so that means 
    Hard reset the router (in the back there is a reset button, press it and hold it for 15 seconds and let it go) 
    plug in the xbox to one of the LAN ports (1, 2, 3, or 4) do NOT plug it into the ethernet WAN port.
    try to connect to the xbox again.
     let us know what happens after that.
