Wireless Router does not work

I am at a university that does not want you to use wireless routers, yet everyone around me still has theirs and when i open my Airport dropdown, i see numerous wireless networks that are run by students.
My router is the ZyXEL HS-100W (a cheap router, but it has always worked for me in the past).
When i turn the wireless on through the router's firmware, it is registered on my airport's list, and when i type in my password (WPA), I get the green light in network prefrences and it says something along the lines of "user assigned IP" I have full bars, and it says I am connected, yet whenever i try to open a webpage, it says that I am not connected to the internet.
I tried to turn the firewall off inside the router, and it did nothing, I tried to use no security to see if that would work, and it did not.
I do know that we have to register MAC addresses with the computer department here, so I am not sure if there is a way to do this within OSX or within the firmware.
I know that this is probably very vague, but I am looking for whatever support I can get.
Thanks
ben

it was a good suggestion, but i cannot find a place to manually set a MAC.
The closest i could find is under the WAN page, there is a tab called WAN MAC.
in that tab is "spoof this computer's MAC Address - IP Address" and then has a spot to input an ip address (the default is in the 192.168.. just generic ip).
i tried to input my computer's ethernet mac address, and it didnt work.
maybe there are futher suggestions based on this?
also, i am not sure if this matters, but when the router is plugged in, and I am wired to the router, i can get internet, but once i switch to wifi, i dont get internet. maybe that will help.
thanks
ben

Wrt610n wireless network does not work after firmeware upgrade

Hi
I just updated my Wrt610n hardware version 1 to the newest firmware, it did finish with sucess, I did factory reset reboot and reconfig. But the wireless network does not work , cant connect computers to it. Did downgrade the firmware to the same it was and restore my settings but still wireless does not work. But router works fine with lan. Any suggestions? maybe the firmware tosted the router?
Regards
Stefan

Update -
After last reset and reupgrade with the newest firmware for hardware version 1 I could config the router and connect 2 computers with wireless - but only for about 15 mín - then they lost connection and could not reconnect.
I did then get the newest update for hardeware version 2 - just to try and upgraded with that and got success, and now I have reset the router again and config it and those 2 computers are connected and have been for 1 hour now. So seems to be working - is it okay to have the firmware for hardware version 2 on my version 1 router?
Any thought what is going on - could it be that the other firmware had not loaded compleytle or?

Wireless net does not work after installing SP1 for Vista - Error code 10

After installing Vista SP1 on my computer (T61 - Vista Business 32 bit) my intel 82566mm wireless net does not work.
Windows says "Error code 10" and suggests that I update the driver. I have downloaded the newest driver via another computer, but it does not help. Still error code 10.
Any one else has the same problem?

I fixed the problem. Uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it clean. Looks like upgrading is problematic.

I have wireless mouse does not work with boot camp

i have wireless mouse does not work with boot camp

Did you install the correct driver for your Windows version? Are you saying the mouse does not work in Windows after Windows is installed?

How can I access applications if the wireless mouse does NOT work?

I have a new iMac (Snow Leopard) which comes with a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. Just in case that the wireless mouse does not work, how can I navigate through applications and the screen?
Any advice will be welcome. Thanks and cheers, Veit

Great, it works.
Let me replicate:
Shift-Command-A (on the Desktop, (but how to get there?) to open Apps, e.g System Preferences;
Arrow keys to navigate within Apps;
Command-down arrow to open a specific app;
Arrows to move around, e.g. to Magic Mouse
Space to open Magic Mouse;
Tab to move between options and arrows to change these; and Tab back to the back icon.
Thanks a lot to both of you, much appreciated your help. Cheers, Veit

WRTU54G-TM T Mobile, works fine in wireless but does not work in WIRED connection

This is really weird. This router has worked fine for little over years. It has it's up's and downs but yesterday. It stopped working on the wired mode. I can see my computers connected on the DHCP list but it does not show internet. On my WIRED computers connected to the router, it says no internet access and cannot find gateway. it is setup as DHCP automatic like it has been for ages. I used the setup wizard with no success. IT SAYS NO ROUTER FOUND, please check connections.
The 4 ethernet lights are green and on completely on when nothing is connected to it at all on the wires.
Now wireless is completely fine and I can see the router and everything else but connecting WIRED just doesn't work. It can see my wired computers on the DHCP client list but anything wired has no internet or connection.
I tried even wiring it directly to my laptop and it does the same thing. But connecting wireless is perfectly fine and dandy.

All the 4 Ethernet port lights are lit up when nothing is connected to the router.
I think the router is not working properly.
Do you get a valid IP address like 192.168.1.xxx on your wired computer?
Try to ping the default gateway and see if you get replies from the router.
You are able to access the Internet on the wireless computer?
What IP address do you get on wired and wireless computer?

Wireless Card does not work in Windows 8.1 for G585

I just wanted to inform someone that the wireless network card does not work in Windows 8.1 Preview. I suspect the driver needs to be updated. When I go to the Device Manager it appears as a Realtek device RTL8192DE instead of a Qualcomm device that does not start. I tried installing the latest driver from the website but it makes the computer crash (BSOD) when trying to reboot after the installation which makes the Windows 8 automatic recovery turn on and I had to restore the system to a previous state before the driver installation.
For now, I just refreshed my system back to Windows 8, instead of trying to use Windows 8.1 Preview . If you have any suggestions, it would be great, otherwise I'll wait for a driver update.

Oh goody. Just updated to 8.1 and it doesn't work. Looks like everyone else is having the same problem. Why no answer from Lenovo?
Please refer to the dedicated thread on "Blue" 8.1.

Wireless mouse does not work

my wireless mouse batteries formed buildup around them. Now my mouse does not work, is there a way to make it work after this happens?

When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries, assuming the mouse is paired.
Turn off the device.
Remove the batteries,
Thoroughly clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and on the batteries themselves.
Replace or renew the batteries.
Turn on the device. You should get a steady green light if the devices are paired.
Click the mouse twice to activate it.
Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems. Apple’s own brand, Duracell, Energiser and appear to be the best.

PCI wireless card does not work after restart - FM2-A55M-E33

Installed TP-LINK WN751ND wireless PCI card onto FM2-A55M-E33 motherboard. The card works fine after cold start, but does not work after restart. Windows recognises the card, but it gets code 10, cannot start.
BIOS is updated (v.11.1), as well as drivers and Windows 7 64.
I suspect that this might be the issue: Incorrect ASPM Transitions on the GPP Interface as found in ChipsetMotherboard_TechDocs/48671.pdf on AMD's official support site.
Does anyone know more about this issue?

Great! I've done that and now my card shows up. Thing is, when I try to get an IP address, it won't work. Here is the command output:
ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_config: change monitor mode: false (implement)
ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_config: change power-save mode: false (implement)
ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_bss_info_changed: qos enabled: false (implement)
And then it times out and no IP is assigned. The thing is, wpa_supplicant stays alive after this time out, and I am unable to kill it (killall -9 wpa_supplicant won't kill it). At this point if I try to reboot the machine, it will stop at 'Rebooting' and won't go anywhere. If I turn off the wireless card in its switch Linux crashes. If I try to get an ip again (by running dhcpcd) the command will hang and not return to the shell anymore.
I am unable to find any useful information in the logs.
Got any more suggestions?
Thanks! (And sorry to disturb so much)

Wireless keyboard does not work after waking up from idle

After MacBook Air went to sleep, wireless keyboard does not properly connect to MacBook - I can wake the MacBook up, but meaningless numbers are sent, and I cannot type in my password. Have to "open" MacBook, and use keys - disconnect and re-connect wireless keyboard. I also use Magic Mouse and it works flawlessly. Problem is small but annoying. Any help?

Wireless keyboard does not work with Safari.

Space bar does not work when using Apple Wireless Keyboard with Safari to fill web forms.
No problem with Firefox.
Early 2008 iMac, 10.10.1, 6GB Ram

Im going to assume you are using the Apple Wireless Keyboard with your devices.
Whats probabaly happening is both of your devices are trying to connect to your keyboard at the same time and it is causing it to not function properly.
I suggest you disable bluetooth on the device you AREN'T using and try it again with the one you ARE using.
If this doesn't solve your issue, try re-pairing the keyboard with the iPad you wish to use it with. It may have just not made a strong connection.
Hope these suggestions help!

Vivienne Tam wireless Mouse does not work.

My wife's Vivienne Tam wireless Mouse for HP Mini 210-1032VU does not work anymore, but the light at the scroll wheel keep flashing/flickering.
We tried changing the battery, but that did not help.
Any suggestions what the problem might be? The mouse is still under warranty.
Any help is very much appreciated.

i have a disease in both hands. It causes a boney like process to grow in the palms of my hands causing my hands to draw up like a claw. Repeated operations for the rest of my life are happening. It is more and more difficult for me to hold a mouse of any kind.
So the vivienne tam mouse has a smaller rise. The microsoft a high rise mound that hits the nerves causing intense pain. The pain makes me break out into a sweat. Where can I find the correct vivienne tam driver? It used to be online. I understand vivienne tam hp driver was taken off the site. it got lost on my computer when the computer crashed. What can I do? how do I get that unique driver back. I alread wrote hp and microsoft online and no help. the driver is specific to the tam. I wonder how many other people have pain with this disease process. The logtech also has a high rise hill in the palm as well. Help anyone

Port Forwarding in WRT54GL Router does not work

When i forward ports in the firware it does not work correctly. I tested it using http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and it still said that the port was closed.

Who is your ISP. When you do port forwarding make sure you have entered the IP address of the computer for which you need to enable port forwarding. Under "Security" Tab uncheck "Block Anonymous Internet Request" and click on Save Settings.After this try testing if that port is opened or not.What ports numbers you are trying to open on your router.

Officejet 6830 wireless scan does not work

Wireless scan to computer file does not work ever. Scan starts and then computer losses connection to scanner before scan can send file to computer. Happens both when scan is started from computer and when scan is started from scanner. After that, browser interface reports scanning is disabled. This sometimes causes entire device to fail to respond to anything, including power switch, must be disconnected to power and reconnected to wake up. HP Print and Scan Doctor gets the same failure and cannot fix the problem. Document printing works. I have had this failure on two different scanners. I thought there was a manufacturing defect so I returned first and received another. Same exact problem.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
For that you will have to contact your network administrator, ask them to grant you access to use the resources on the local network when you are connected to the VPN. So that you can use the printer, when you are connected to the VPN.
As I Said earlier, when you are connected to the VPN you completely on a different network (Office Network) and you are disconnected from your local network. Your local network will just be acting as a bridge.
