Wireless won't work on my laptop

I have the N Ultra range wireless broadband Router. it has successfully worked on my desktop. But it won't pick up on my laptop.. I have a Lenovo laptop. I call Linksys all the time regarding this. And it works for a few days, then it goes down.. it's really annoying. Anyone can help me on this? Something that I can do on my own and not have to wait for 2 hours on the phone. Thanks!

Try this :-
Download the Firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Adjust Wireless Settings -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
If you keep loosing the wireless signals, then you should download and upgdate the drivers for your wireless adapter...

Wireless won't work in 10.4.6 - 10.4.10...MacBook about to be Windows only

Hi. A while ago, month or so, I started having the wireless problems runnning rampant in the 10.4.10 release. It started with dropped connections to my linksys router, then spotty connections to University WPA. This drove me nuts and I tried every possible way to fix it. The fix on this board (using pacifist and reninstalling the appleairport.kext files) worked for a while, then it quit working again. I reinstalled back to 10.4.9 and that again worked for a while, and again it quit working. I finally decided I was fed up and reinstalled OSX, completely wiping my hard drive at the same time. This sent me back to 10.4.6. I stepwise updated from 10.4.6 to 10.4.9 installing whatever Airport updates it allowed, up to Extreme 2007-3. After any and every iteration, I get the same results:
Connection to Linksys router running DDWRT and WPA Personal, WPA2, WEP, No Security.
It connects for about 15-30 seconds. Internet works great. Internet stops working. Internet may or may not start working again in the next 15 minutes. If it does, it will last about 30 seconds to a minute. Eventually the Airport symbol goes gray. Attempted reconnects result in "Failed to connect to ___" from airport. This has happened constantly since 10.4.10, even after a complete reformatting of my harddrive. I am very upset.
Connection to University WPA Enterprise-----
I open 802.1X to connect. While watching the proceedings in "Internet Connect", status goes from Idle, to connecting, to authenticating....after 2 mins, 15, 30 it might say connected. It doesn't matter, the internet doesn't work. On rare occasion, it will ask me to "Verify the Certificate", when I select yes, it will say "Connected to ______ via TTLS" then the internet will work. It will work fine until I disconnect or close my mac. Upon reopening I have roughly a 1 in 30 chance of it working. I am very upset.
I don't understand why I would have these issues. My MacBook worked great wirelessly all through 2006 and through august of 2007. Reinstalling from my original disks should have made the software exactly the same as it was in 2006 when it worked. There is nothing on this machine that was not on it originally. Does this mean it's a hardware issue? If so, shouldn't my MacBook not work when I use windows? In any case, this is really upsetting me. Also, I have not contacted Apple, my last trip to the 'Genius Bar" resulted in broken speakers in exchange for repairing my headphone jack. Could one of the fine people on this board please help me out...any suggestions before this becomes a Windows machine?
Edit: I am currently leaving my Mac with 10.4.9 installed and Airport Extreme Update 2007-3.

Well, if there is anyone out there having the same problems I've been having, you might want to take a look at my blog. I wrote up my findings on two commercial packages there:
http://weblog.bosslogic.com/2006/05/betterfaxsupp.html
The bottom line on fax and efax: I was never able to get these command-line utilities to work. I suspect it's a misconfiguration in OS/X 10.4.6 or perhaps just some poor documentation... but, for the price, the commercial products solved what I needed quickly, easily and cheaply.
One thing I didn't mention in my blog: For higher-end, demanding fax services you might want to look at 4-Sight Fax. This is a server-based solution that starts at about $500 and can scale upwards. Far more than what I needed so I didn't look into it too closely.

Updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.7, now wireless won't work?

Today I installed the new Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.7 on my MacBook Pro, and now I cannot connect to wireless networks. I've searched everywhere for answers all night to no avail. Other macbooks and pc's can connect to the network just fine, so it's definitely the software.
When I open the network settings, the Airport appears in yellow instead of green and says "AirPort has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.26.111 and will not be able to connect to the internet".
I've tried turning the airport on and off, I've tried rebooting the router, rebooting the computer, rebooting the computer in safe mode, moving the System Configuration folder onto my desktop. Nothing that I found anywhere on this forum has worked.
Now I understand that self assigned IP addresses starting with 169 will not be able to connect to the internet. My question is what in the world can I do to get an IP address that will allow me to connect to the internet?

Hi! I have the same issue but mine doesn't assign any ip address, just blank. I have a brand new macbook.

10.4.8- dimmed screen & wireless won't work

I downloaded the latest Mac update 10.4.8 and ever since my screen looks dim or darker. Not as bright and vibrant as it used to. I have read other posts of it looking blueish. I bet this is the same thing others are describing.
In addition, my wireless mouse and keyboard quit working. Anyone heard of any easy way to fix this or do should I wait for an update? (I am new to Macs.)
I have an iMac. Thanks for any suggestions.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1.8GHzPowerPC G5 512MB DDR SDRAM

sorry your going through this as a new mac user. I've been using mac's now for about 20 years and 10.4.8 is the first really bad and IMHO defective update they've ever released. Just sit tight as Apple is great at addressing these issues and with all the posts here I'm sure they're working to resolve the problems.
As for the wireless, my problem was fixed by clicking on "Use Interference Robustness" in the drag down window, upper right hand corner where the 5 bars are to show airport signal strength.
Also search for info on 'preferred networks' here. That modification in network preferences helps as well.
As for the darker screen. Can't help you with that one.

My headphones won't work on my laptop.

I want to use my headphones to watch things on my laptop but when i plug in my headphones, sound only comes from my laptops speaker. I've tried two pairs of headphones already, and it's the same for both pairs. Both pairs of headphones work perfectly on other devices. I have windows 7 on my laptop if that's any help.

Hi Izzy_N, welcome to the HP Forums. What is the model number of your notebook? Were both headsets 3.5mm connectors or USB connectors? If they are 3.5mm have you verified you are using the correct port?

Videos won't work on my laptop!!!!!!!!?

I Have a dell studio laptop with Windows 7 install on it.
Few weeks ago sudently I couldn't watch any videos on any browsers installed on my laptop (Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).
When I open a page that contains a video the page don't respond anymore.
I checked that I had the lastest version of adobe flashplayer and adobe shockwave player, to be certain I redownloaded them.
The videos still couln't work.
So I started to search for some answers on the internet but I couldn't find any.
So I lunch a system restore and all went back to normal.
Few weeks later the same problem appends so I did a system restore again.
At this point I tought it was a problem with the windows update but when after the system restore I reinstall the updates the problem didn't show off.
Finally today I was watching a video on my laptop (not on the internet) and the player crashed.
I went on youtube to see if I could watch videos and gest what I can't.
I can't even see the ads that shows up in the yahoo homepage.
I ready the make an other system restore but I want to get rid of this problem once and for all!!!!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

Hi tim, the first thing I would do is confirm that you have the correct Flash Player files installed.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash. Post back all files listed. On the ones NPSWF32.dll and NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe, right click on those two and check properties to get the version number.
Then you can check All add ons in IE and look for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control....Flash10e.ocx( vs 10.0.45.2)
should be listed and Enabled.
In FF or other browsers look for SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is listed and Enabled. Also be sure there is only one
listing of the SWF.
Thanks,

Foxit Reader won't work with HP Laptop Help and Support Guides, any suggestions?

New HP Pavilion with Windows 7 x64 I downloaded Foxit Reader and installed it and then Uninstalled Adobe Reader to save space. Then, although it will open my PDF's in "My Documents", it will not open the Guides or Learning PDF's in the HP Help and Support files. Is there someone with more experience using Foxit Reader than can suggest a work around? If I reinstall Adobe PDF then it all works again.
John

the-edmeister,
Thank you! # 30 Under "Foxit Reader". I went back and set the Foxit Reader as the Default. I'm pretty sure that I did that when I first installed it and it asked if I wanted Foxit to be the Default Reader. Anyway, I think it is fixed.

External keyboard won't work on DM4 laptop

I have a Pavilion DM4 with Windows 7. Trying to connect an external keyboard that has a PS/2 cable end using adapter to USB plug. Keyboard doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Did you install drivers for your USB mouse? Those drivers may have conflicted with the standard keyboard drivers.
Boot up into safe mode (press F5 as soon as Windows starts to boot) and check the keyboard device in Device Manager. It should be a 'Standard 101/102 key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard'. If its something else, remove it and let Windows install the default driver above.
Go into Add/Remove Programs and remove the USB Mouse software you installed previously (if applicable), the reboot into Normal Mode and see how that goes.

My usb won't work in my laptop and my ipad is disabled, how can i connect it to itunes?

For some reason i decided to let my little brother watch the match on my iPad mini. He then decided to disable it and now i can't get onto it. I have so many important pictures, videos and infomation on there i cannot afford to lose any! Please help.

You need to find a computer with working USB ports and install iTunes on that computer to get the Apple device drivers. Then you can hopefully copy your pictures and videos. If the computer cannot recognize the device because it is disabled, then you will have to restore. You will lose anything on the iPad that was not purchased through iTunes such as your pictures and videos.
Your other option is to go to an Apple store and explain the situation and perhaps the store can extract your information.

Pages won't work on my laptop after a free trial

I bought a new Macbook Pro. I wanted Pages so I downloaded a free tiral onto my laptop. The trial was soon over and so using App Store, I bought Pages. It said Pages was installed so I restarted my laptop and opened Pages. When I went to save a document, Pages said that I needed to buy Pages and that my trial was over, then it gave me an oppurtunity to put in an activation code. The App Store never gave me an activation code and still says that the new Pages has been installed. Suggestions anyone?

Contact and/or post over in the Mac App Store forums.

ITunes through AX via Ethernet (not wireless) won't work

I cannot seem to play music through my AirPort Express (from an iMac G5) unless I join it's wireless network. The AX and the iMac are wired to the same Ethernet network, but I the AX is accessible through iTunes only if I select the AX's wireless network. Shouldn't I be able to play music from iTunes through the AX over Ethernet?

Yes you can.
If your "wired network" already has a router on it, the best solution is to disable the router built into the Airport Express (which is currently blocking Airtunes access to the Express via its ethernet port).
To do this - run the Airport Admin Utility, select to view the configuration of the Express, and click on the Network tab. Uncheck the box next to "Distribute IP addreses". Update settings to the Airport Express. Finally (very important) restart any computers that were previously connected wirelessly to the Airport Express.
That's it!

My MacBook pro's power button won't work.

So my MacBook pros power button wouldn't work, there fore I couldn't switch the notebook off, which I need to do to try and get access to my houses wifi, which strangely wouldn't connect although would t my iPad and iPhone. So I turned the laptop off through the keyboard short cut and now when I try to turn it back on, the button won't work. The laptop was running perfectly fine (appart from the Internet connection) it was charging great and should be duly charged at the minute, i just can't find a way to turn it om, is there anyway other than the button? And what could be wrong with the button itself, as I'm clueless.

Infinity won't work wirelessly with Ubuntu OS

I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Edition and upgraded my BT broadband to Infinity on 28.12.11, using the same HomeHub3 that worked perfectly well with the old Total service.
It doesn't work, wirelessly. I can get an apparently strong connection, but its agonisingly slow. At the same time, an ethernet connection works well, When I switch from one to the other and test the speed, I can watch the bandwidth fall away (i.e.: it isn't immediately disconnected.)
Nobody at BT can or will help, telling me that Ubuntu is 'unsupported' (i.e.: it's my problem). I reported this problem to BT - ref: xxxxxx-xxxxxx - via its complaints form on 28.12.11, but have had no response.
I've spent much time this past week on internet help forums. It transpies that BT has known about this issue with Ununtu for six months, but has apparently done nothing about it and cannot suggest a solution.
Suggested workarounds from other Ubuntu users involve manually reconfiguring one's connection, but my netbook won't allow me to apply the changed settings, or to change the router settings from N to G tech., but that only worked temporarily for me and, besides, my netbook is only a couple of year old.
When I was sold Infinity, nobody mentioned that it doesn't work with Ubuntu. Frankly, I feel it was mis-sold as I intended to increase the bandwidth of my Total account and was persuaded to take Infinity on the grounds that it's a superior service for the same price. Not from where I sit, it isn't.
The only solution I can see is to get BT to switch me back to their Total service, which suited me fine. I'm going to get their engineer to come back and uninstall Infinity. I will also complain to Offcom, as this situation could easily have been avoided had the BT sales person told me that Infinity won't work wirelessly with Ubuntu.

Firstly your negotiating skills with BT are far better than mine....
"....Total account and was persuaded to take Infinity on the grounds that it's a superior service for the same price"
I was on BT Total BB and had to pay an extra £2 pm for Infinity and then an extra £4.75pm uplift of the calls package to give me the same anytime calls I had previously.... And had to re-start another 18month contract!!! Ohhh well.
Right onto the problem... Webby's suggestion of making sure your on a clear or least used wireless channel is good advice.
Here is the link to the free software http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/
Have a look at a demo,- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2kZCfYTxI
To be honest I would move your HH3 from the Automatic setting to a fixed wireless channel as they seem to work better like that.
If your Operating System won't work with Inssider I would then just try a different channel starting at 1 and work up... seeing how things go.
Regarding setting your HH3 to wireless g, that is a very backward step as the most you'll get over that would be around 20Mbps depending on your distance from hub etc.
Couple of pics comparing my speed test over wireless g and n in THIS POST.
Another thing I would try is a wireless n USB adapter... just in case your m/c is only g
Links of how to identify what yours is and pictures of the difference in the "Network Sharing Centre".. 54Mbps being g and anything above is wireless n....
Wireless n gives the best speed assuming your Infinity download IP is more than 20Mbps. Also wireless n signal is more robust penetrating walls etc.
There are links to the type of wireless n adapters I use... Picture of one HERE, (Don't need the extender cable shown in that picture).
wwwebber's post was very useful.-
"I use Ubuntu on my laptop with BT Infinity & HH3 with no problems at all. BT is not at fault here - they do not support Ubuntu."
Confirming Infinity and Unbunto do work...
You say ".....but my netbook won't allow me to apply the changed settings, or to change the router settings .... but that only worked temporarily for me......"
As changing settings worked temporarily you must have been able to log into your HH3.
If you really can't log in can you borrow a friends netbook running windows to get logged in perhaps?
Log in,- http://bthomehub.home/html/home/home.html go to Advanced settings, wireless. and change Channel settings from Automatic to a channel number then click on Apply.
I would place your laptop near to the HH3 and move the HH3 wireless channel to a clear channel or start at channel 1.
Try to get a good wireless n speed..... example of mine 37Mbps over http://www.speedtest.net/
Then when you have a reasonable speed move your laptop away... you will notice a drop over distance that's normal.
I am 20' away from my HH3 and get 37Mbps through a plasterboard wall.
Regarding other routers people have used http://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity/List-of-Routers-to-replace-Home-Hub-3/td-p/298203
And see Ady's msg #21 and #25 in THIS THREAD.
"'ll try the netbook in different locations over the w/e and hope from a solution from Ubuntu before remonstrating further with BT".
Please let us know how you get on.
Please Click On any Text in Blue as that automatically links to information.
