WLAN access point "missing" when connection alread...

Hello,
I have an E63 with version 400.21.013 firmware. However, I have experienced this problem from day one. I do not have a data plan but I use WLAN at various locations, and there is a list of access points in the Settings.
I have a home access point configured with WPA2 and I have all the settings saved in the Connection Manager (or is it WLAN Wizard - I don't know). When the phone is not connected to any AP and I use a program that wants data, it will almost always show the "Home" AP in the list which appears right after "Searching for available access points" is briefly displayed. "Home" shows up right below Search for WLAN. There is no problem making the first connection.
However, if the "Home" AP is already in use and I open another program that wants data, at times it will not show my Home AP in the list. If "Searching for available access points" is only displayed for a split second, "Home" will not be in the list. Sometimes I can close the program and open it again and if "Searching for available access points" stays on screen for about a second, then "Home" will be on the list and I can connect. Sometimes I will have to try 3, 4, 5 times, and sometimes it will never "see" the AP unless I disconnect the WLAN and start all over.
Right at this moment, there is no problem. I can open program after program and connect via my "Home" AP. But it is frustrating when it does happen. Has anyone seen this or found a remedy?
Thanks.

Have you tried changing the WLAN channel (i.e. frequency) of your home WLAN access point / router?
Try switching between few different channels (like 1, 3, 6, 9, 11) to see if some channel happens to work more reliably. It is possible that there is some radio interference (neighbouring WLAN networks, cordless phones, Bluetooth devices etc.) on the currently used WLAN channel, causing phone to discover this network less reliably.
In case your WLAN access point / router includes 802.11n support, make sure that your AP's "channel width" is set to a standard 20MHz mode (instead 20/40MHz).
This is a bit long shot suggestion (just guessing), but if switching the WLAN channel related setting on the AP doesn't help then you could also try editing your phone's access point (the one created for you home WLAN network, under Tools -> Settings -> Connection -> Access Points) so that your phone should consider this particular WLAN network as an "Hidden SSID" (even if network really isn't hidden) by changing the "Network status" setting from Public to Hidden.

When I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router

when I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router.
Below is some info i get about ports.
I tried to set DMZ on my main router to have full access to ported to access point upstair which is in the ip of 192.168.1.2 and the main router in the living room is the gateway router with the 192.168.1.1 ip.
I still cant see apple tv after i try the DMZ method.
any suggestion ?
These network ports are used by Apple TV for communications on your network.
TCP port 123 is used to communicate with a network time server.
TCP port 3689 is used to communicate with iTunes while using the iTunes Library Sharing feature.
UDP port 5353 is used by Apple TV for automatically finding computers with iTunes on your network using Bonjour.
TCP port 80 is used for communicating with podcast servers.
TCP port 80 and 443 are used for basic and secure communications with the iTunes Store via the Internet.
TCP port 53 is used for regular DNS.
These are well-known ports used by Apple products, like iTunes. If you can use all the features of iTunes, these ports are likely already open on your firewall or NAT router. Note: These ports may also used by other services such as YouTube and Flickr.

When the Apple TV is paired with a remote, it means only that remote can control it, when it's not paired any remote can control it. You will need a remote for each of your devices.

I have a lot on books on my Kindle account. I have downloaded the app onto my IPAD but can only access my books when connected to WIFI, i would like to read them offline. Have I missed a download step. Thanks for any help you can give.

I have a lot of books on my Kindle/Amazon account. I have downloaded the Kindle app onto my IPAD mini by can only access my books when connected to WIFI, how can I read them off-line?

Yes, you've missed the download step.
Open the Kindle app and navigate to your Library. There is a tab at the bottom that says Cloud | Device. Tap the Cloud tab and tap the books you want to download to the device. You will see a progress indicator during the download. Once it's done, read away!

Can't connect to Access Point that is connected to the Internet (Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

Hi all,
I am normally not someone who posts on support forums since most of the problems can be solved be searching through piles of other questions, but this things has really got me pulling out my hair and I hope that maybe someone can help me with this super weird problem.
So, a few weeks back, my Mac Mini (kind of old, guessing 2007) stopped connecting to Wireless networks. Since all other devices in home (iPhone, MacBook Pro and a PC) are connecting just fine I thought it had to do with my settings. All it says is: "connection timeout".
The Mac Mini connects just fine when I plug in an ethernet cable, but that's a no go since I don't want cables laying around our living room that much.
I tried a lot of things suggested my other people like removing settings, PRAM reset, moving the AP closer, router settings etc etc. Of no avail. Even tried to fix it by reinstalling Snow Leopard, but that didn't do it either.
Though when I turned my MBP into an Access Point it could connect to that network just fine. That made me wonder if it's my router, but once I plug in an ethernet cable into my MBP to share Internet access it won't connect! Tried the same with my router and indeed, it connects just fine once it has no Internet connection.
Tried searching for people that had the same problem, but I couldn't find them. Can anybody here help?
TLDR; Mac won't connect to Wireless network that has an internet connection, but does when it hasn't.
Thanks!

Try disconnecting the router from the internet (WAN port) and plugging a PC directly into one of the LAN ports. After resetting, ignore the smartwifi login, click the two checkboxes, and login manually/directly with the "admin" password and reconfigure.
If you don't want to do all that just yet, try accessing the router from the public IP address assigned by your ISP. That might work

Your AP-manager and management interfaces is mapped to port 1:
ap-manager                       1    80       10.41.80.2      Static Yes    No
only APs connected to port 1 will work.
You need to either use a switch and keep port 1 connected to it while APs join through the switch or you need to create a new ap-manager interface. not even sure if you can map it to the same port or different port! not even sure about the management interface!! it is mapped to port 1 and should be reachable anyway. it is a mess!!! have you read the best practice document that I put the link for earlier?
So you need eventually a switch to fix your issue. direclty connected APs are not recommended.
I am still not knowing how Cisco provided such swtich that is supposed to handle direclty connected Aps while it does not provide a smooth way to do so.
Use a switch and everything supposed to be fine.

3502 access point will not connect to 4400 Series WLAN controller

I recently upgraded our controllers to the latest version 7 software, as I read this was one of the requirements to get them to connect. But I am not having any luck getting into a controller. Normally I plug them in to the network, they pop into the controller listed as something like AP5057.a844.xxxx and then I can finish configuring them, but a static IP on them, etc...
This is the first of this model AP I have tried to deploy, so I am wondering what is different with these. or what I might be missing in the default config in the WLAN controllers.
Niether of which are set to "Master" either.
Thanks in advance, Tandrist

Hi,
The 3500 as you mention are supported on code 7.0
To get the access point to join the WLC we have different options.
If the access points will be on the same subnet as the WLC then you just need to get the APs to get a valid IP address from the DHCP server and once they have an IP address they will join the WLC because they are on the same subnet as the WLC.
If the access points are on a different subnet then the WLC you will need to have a DHCP server configured to give the unit an IP address and use option 43 or DNS so that the APs can send the join request to the correct WLC on a different subnet.
Or if not configure the AP via the console port with the static IP address and WLC IP address.
Also make sure that you have the correct country code enable on the WLC, and that the APs you purchased are the ones to work in this country, because if not the AP will not join the WLC.

E2500 as an additional access point will not connect

Hello,
I have AT&T Uverse which provides Internet for my home. The wireless capability of this router is pretty bad, I don't get good/reliable wireless reception upstairs in my office. The solution was to buy a Cisco E2500 and add it as an access point upstairs.
I have the E2500 LAN port connected to the LAN port of my uverse router downstairs. DHCP is turned off on the E2500. I have my office PC wired into the E2500. The home PC works fine, its getting DHCP from the uverse router downstairs and connects and good speeds. The problem comes with my wireless devices trying to connect to the E2500.
I should mention that yesterday when i bought this, all worked fine. This morning when I came into my office none of the wireless devices would connect to the E2500 at all. But as soon as I remove the cable that connects the E2500 to the uverse router downstairs they will connect via wireless but of course not get an IP address since that is disabled. No idea what is going on here.
I have factory reset the E2500 and uverse router several times and am getting no where. Any ideas what could be causing the wireless devices to not connect at all?

I think you are having problems because you didn't give the E2500 an appropriate static IP address outside of your Uverse gateway's DHCP range.
A better option would be to reset the E2500 to factory defaults and then follow these bridge mode intructions:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/GetArticle.aspx?docid=28cee6a2fb0d4176a2210942d1d5836c_Setting_up_the_...
You should give the E2500 seperate (different names) SSID's and make sure your wireless channels are different on AT&T gateway and E2500. Use 1, 6, or 11
The best option, however, would be to reset the E2500 to factory defaults and use the IP passthrough feature on your AT&T gateway. If you use the IP passthrough feature on the AT&T gateway, you would use internet connection type DHCP on the E2500 and it would be functioning as a NAT router. The IP passthrough feature on you AT&T gateway allows your E2500 to receive a public IP address and you will be able to avoid the AT&T gateway's NAT. So you will just be using the E2500's NAT. You will need to change the MTU to manual and you can ask AT&T what the appropriate mtu is for Uverse.

My router and access point reboots when trying to stream content from iOS devices or mac to my apple tv.

the zycel N series access point and cisco router reboots when i try to stream or mirror onto apple tv using air play. What can be the cause of the problem?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

AirPort only sees the access point I am connected to

Friends,
I am aware of numerous discussions on these forums revolving around AirPort and wifi-issues. I have searched by cannot find this one with its own thread, and think the issue might be buried in there with others.
One peculiar issue I see is that when I am not connected to any wifi network, AirPort will see them all and ask which one I want to connect to. However, when I select a specific network and bind to it, all of the other networks disappear in the drop-down box activated when you click the signal strength meter.
On a day-to-day basis, this doesn't matter, but sometimes, if I want to configure a travel wifi router at home, I have to jump through a few hoops so that my MacBook Pro will see the other one.
Perhaps this monogamous behavior is intended, but I would like to be able to "interact" with different access points whenever I'd like.
This issue must have been already reported; I just can't find it. Apologies in advance if this is a redundant report. I am running 10.5.1

No, do not hit reset .. it is not a WPS button.
Apple products do not use WPS, so no WPS button is needed. And they have no need to implement one.. nothing exists outside the Apple bubble.. didn't you know that??
Read the forum expert Tesserax instructions for using WPS. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16034147#16034147
But it is better to plug in your printer to a mac by usb and use the disk provided to do a full manual setup of wireless.. WPS is simply the easy way.

808 moving wlan access point

I've setup my wlan access in Internet destination. In this destination I set up wlan as priority 1 and mobile data as priority 2. Phone keeps moving wlan from Internet to Uncategorised destination. If I move it back to Internet it stays for some time and goes back to Uncategorised. Sometimes it happens while browsing. I want to go back one page and phone will show that it can't find the address. Have to go to settings and move it back to Internet destination. Ad nauseam. Did not have this problem on N8. My phone has static IP address on my home modem. Is there a cure for that?

I have seen this happen on my 808 too. Cannot remember what I was doing at the time, but definitely it had nothing to do with re-organizing APs. However, suddenly there was Uncategorised destination in my access point settings with one WLAN AP in it.
There is also an another bug in the WLAN settings, which I have described in detail at Connectivity Tips and Troubleshooting subforum. Please see:

Info button missing when connecting iPhone

I'm trying to sync my contacts from my iPhone5 to my macbook. I'm running iTunes 11.1.2. When I plug in my iPhone the device connects properly in iTunes and I can sync music, videos, apps etc. After researching how to sync contacts everything that I found said it would be under the "Info" button/tab when the device is selected. Unfortunately, this button is missing when I plug in my device.
Shouldn't the Info button be between Summary and Apps? I even tried viewing the selecting the device from the Sidebar but there's still no Info button available. I feel like I'm going crazy here but I can't find anything online similar to this issue. Is there a setting on my phone that needs to be changed? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

HP photosmart 7520 connects to wrong access point and looses connection

I recently installed a remote wireless access point in an outbuilding. I'm using a router with the same SSID and password as my main router with the same security settings. Only the main router is set to issue IP addresses. The system works fine with two laptops, a desktop, an Ipad and an Ipod. It provides continuous connections from my house to the outbuilding. Only the HP Photosmart seems to be an issue. At first the system worked fine then after a couple of days it lost its connection. I tried to the Wireless Setup Wizzard with no success. The Wireless Network Test results indicated that MAC address filtering may be enabled. This is not the case, MAC filtering in not enabled on either router. The next morning the printer was fine and connected again. I suspect that it is detecting the remote router and trying to connect through it. During the setup a warning came up indicating that two routers were detected with the same SSID and Password and that the printer might try to connect to the wrong router. It should not matter since the remote router connects and is issued IP addresses through the main router. The only difference in the routers is the BSSID. This uses the same number as the MAC filtering address, so I suspect this may be the problem. Any suggestions on a work around. The only thing I have found that solves the problem is turning off the remote router.

Hello there -
Is it possible your new remote access point only supports the 5Ghz band for N connection, or that it's connected to your primary router through a wireless N connection in the 5Ghz band? The 7520 only supports 2.4Ghz N connections. If your primary access point supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, that is likely why it's able to connect there while it cannot connect to the new access point. Many newer laptops and iPad/pods utilize 5Ghz N, which would explain why they can connect and your 7520 cannot. I'd recommend moving the 7520 closer to the primary router and using AirPrint to send your jobs.

Can't access my SPA2102 when connected to my BEFSR41 router

Hi All,
I have a Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL router #BEFSR41 to which I have two computers, one printer, and one Linksys PAP2T-NA connected. I purchased a SPA2102-NA because I need two additional phone lines, but I had no more router ports. I was told that the SPA2102 could be connected to the router and my PAP2T could then connect to the LAN port of the SPA2102. Well I tried connecting the SPA2102 to my router and then connecting my PAP2T to it, but I am not able to access the configuration/setup menu for the SPA2102. How can I configure this SPA2102 when I can't even get to the setup menu?
Please help, I have spent the entire day searching the Linksys knowledgebase, etc. and I can't figure out what I need to do to access this unit. By the way, when I go into the router configuration menu and list the DHCP Active IP Table, the first item is SipuraSPA with an IP address of 192.168.1.100 (my PAP2T is 192.168.1.104). I have tried accessing the SPA2102 by typing 192.168.1.100 but I just get a browser error "Page not found". So the SPA2102 is showing up as connected to my router, but I have no way to connect to it because it has been given a dynamic IP address by the router. How can I solve this problem?
TIA

Thanks HW for your reply. After further consideration, I've decided that my best solution is to add an 8-port switch to increase my network capacity and therefore I can replace the SPA2102 with a simpler PAP2T, giving me two PAP2T's. I'm afraid I was looking at the SPA2102 as a stop-gap measure in providing an additional LAN port, but that would leave me without any spare LAN ports for the future. In the end, the small cost of an 8-port switch will give me future capacity and allow me to use the less costly PAP2T while gaining what I needed in the first place. Sorry for taking up your time.
Thanks.
