WPA Security with the F5D7230-4

Hey,
I've successfully bridged my Airport Express from my Belkin F5D7230-4 with WEP Security enabled and it worked very well. Well, I should actually rephrase that; it worked well for all the Macs. The only PC on the wireless network couldn't establish a consistent connection, so I had to change the security to WPA and now everybody's computers work very well (WPA is actually desired). The only problem with WPA is that I can't get WDS to work with it, in other words, the Airport Express won't connect to the Belkin. After configuring the settings the same way as before (except changing the security) the Airport Express will first stay solid yellow, turn green for 2 or 3 seconds, and then flash yellow again. I have tried changing the wireless channel, and telling the Airport Express to just join (not WDS) while the Airport Express next to the Belkin, but still nothing worked.
Wireless bridging is infact enabled on the Belkin, and I've also tried allowing only certain access points to connect, but that didn't work either.
Is it possible that I'm not able to use WPA security with WDS on this Belkin router?
It's a F5D7230-4 Belkin Router with 4.05.03 firmware, and the latest firmware is on the Airport Express.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Do you mean to get into the network? I do have a password WPA password set, and that's why the Airport Express can't access it.
I need WPA set because a: the PC on the network needs it in order to connect, and b: it's much more secure.
I pretty much need to have the security because the Belkin has it on, and to my understanding, the Airport Express also needs to have it enabled to work.
Is there any update or anything available that could help my problem, or am I pretty much out of luck?

WPA security with both time capsule and airport express not working together

I want to set WPA security on my time capsule so that my teenager can not access wireless with out permission but when I add a security key my airport express disappears from list.
I have tried setting a password then the time capsule restarts and when it does the aiport express is gone from list and can not be found when rescanned.
Do I need to set time capsule and then reset airport express by pluggin it directly into desktop and resetting its software?
Thanks

I would suggest, reconnecting the Express to the TC again. Use the AirPort Utility to make ALL configuration changes including the network extending settings. Then restart both base stations and check that the settings are still good. Then disconnect the Express and give it a few minutes to initialize. It should connect. If not, then the issue may be either the distance or obstructions (like walls, ceilings, floors, etc.) that is preventing the Express from getting a signal from the TC that is adequate enough to extend.

Can I use Webroot Internet Security with the new version of Firefox?

I am being advised to download the new version. However, I remember seeing something about it not being compatible with Webroot. Is that true?

You can try this extension to override compatibility issues,

My printer is secure with the email addressees I have provided but....

Hi, I am new to this forum and I had a really silly question. I have set up the emails that are only allowed to print from this printer which are my emails, but some how my so called husband has been able to print from this printer. Can anyone tell me how to disable him from printing from my printer? Anything will be much appreciated. Thank you.
Kerri

Hi snoopy041824,
If you have setup the eprint authorized email address, he should not be able to do so.
One way is that you do a reset of the email address and change the printer email address.
Login to ePrintCenter, and click on the ePrint settings. Click on the Advanced tab and click on the Reset button.
This will change the eprint address. If he does not know the printer email address, then he would not be able to email to print to the printer.
Thank you.

Setting WPA security on an Airport Extreme Card

Hi all I’m a newbie to the wonderful world of MACs having just purchased a dual 2.3 G5 incorporating an Airport Extreme card.
Now, in my simplistic world I figured that I could use the G5 connected to the internet via an ethernet router to act as a base station and allow 2 PC laptops to have wireless internet access too. Also, it would be good to allow these laptops to share the printer connected to the G5 and, absolutely ideally, share files too.
The internet sharing part of this all this works fine up to a point – that point being until I try to secure the wireless network! I’ve tried using the WEP solution (in both 64 and 128 bit modes) but the laptops just won’t connect, even though they can both actually see the network. I also understand that WPA is more secure than WEP anyway so I thought I might try that instead. Trouble is, I can't find where I can set this up for the AE Card.
So basically – could anyone tell me, in simple terms, whether I can use just an Airport Extreme CARD (rather than a full Base Station) to give me WPA security in the setup that I’m trying to create?
It seems that the card itself DOES support WPA if it’s connecting to an already-enabled network, but all I can find in the configuration options for the card is the WEP security (which I can’t get to work AT ALL!) I tried using the Airport Admin Utility to set WPA-Personal mode (which I understand is equivalent to WPA-PSK mode?) but that only seems to be for the Base Station.
I have spent the last 2 days trawling through as much information as I can find (including on these discussion pages) and still cannot find an answer.
If anyone’s still reading this rather long post and could offer any help at all, I’d be very grateful indeed.
Many thanks in advance,
Andy
PS I LOVE the MAC!!!

I need to set the network id to 10.10.1.1 will a new airport extreme do this?
Sorry, but no.
The AirPort can only be set to 10.0.x.x, 192.168.x.x or 172.16.x.x

I am on vacation and I am unable to get internet connection using my Powerbook G4 (with built-in Airport). It is only showing a WPA Personal for the wireless security option and the resport password is being rejected. How can I get connected?

I need some help trying to get connected from a remote location with my Powerbook. I am a graphic designer on vacation and need to keep in touch with my clients. Need help ASAP!

Looks like you are working with a vintage product and the operating system is a little outdated, which makes it harder to troubleshoot. It's possible that it doesn't support WPA (depending on the Airport card built-in). Otherwise, if you can connect via ethernet, check for software updates. It even might be as simple as restarting the computer.

I have a netgear n300 router broadcasting my wpa secured wireless network and bought an airport express to extend the network. I did an Ethernet setup from a MacBook, got the green checkmark but no extension. help.

I have a net gear n300 router transmitting my WPA secured network, and I bought an airport express to use as a network extender. I configured it via an Ethernet cable from a MacBook using manual setup in airport utility. I got the green checkmark at the end, but it is not extending my signal. Can you help me?

Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...so it very unlikely that your Netgear router can be extended wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
The few non-AirPort routers that are known to work are:
Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
BT Voyager 2091
Netgear WGR614 v6
Buffalo WGR-G54

Orignal Airport card with WPA security

I have two machines as follows:
iMac G5, OS 10.4.6 with Airport Extreme
iMac G4, OS 10.3.9 with original Airport card.
Airport Express connected to cable modem (firmware v6.2)
WEP 128 security.
When I originally set up my wireless network, the G4 would not connect with other than WEP security. There was nothing in the documentation that indicated that this would be a problem. Even the Apple Care guy was not aware of it. I don't remember how long ago this was.
Everything works great, but I'd like WPA security. Rather than "break" something that's working, I thought I ask this forum for some wisdom.
Has something been updated, either on the Mac side or the Express side to eliminate this "problem"?
Thanks for the help,

As long as you are using AirPort software version 3.3 or better you shouldn't have a problem connecting to a WPA network. See AirPort Card: When You Can Join a WPA Network.

Odd DNS problems with wireless using WPA security.

My partner and I have two Macbooks, hers is the white 1.83Ghz and mine is the white 2.0Ghz. The 1.83 with the latest updates (10.4.8) connects just fine and browses fine, no issues what-so-ever. My 2.0Ghz (also on latest update 10.4.8) does connect through WPA as well, but fails to browse with what appears to be DNS failures.
The console spews out messages like "mDNSResponder: Repeated transitions for interface en1 (192.168.2.102); delaying packets by 5 seconds"
Repeated refreshes of the browsers (Safari and Firefox) have mixed responses but mostly just timeout trying to connect to anything.
I have tried all the tricks that I have heard about, including reinstalling OS X from scratch (wiping out the disk), removing the preferred connections, removing keychains, deleting the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internet... files etc. All with no appearant change.
The machine connects just fine and browses fine with no security or WEP set on the router. Just seems to be related to WPA. The router does not support WPA2 so I cant test that. I have tried 'nslookup' and 'host' in the terminal and get mixed responses. Sometimes it looks up quickly and fine, all the while the browser is timing out in the background on the same host name. Other times those commands also timeout with messages like:
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
The /etc/resolv.conf shows the nameserver to be 192.168.2.1 (my router) which is correct as it is the same on the other macbook and windows machines. I did, however, try setting the DNS servers manually to my ISPs servers in the Network Preferences but this made no difference. It is bazaar that two macbooks with what I believe to be identical OS and updates (10.4.8) can have such different results. It is definitely related to WPA, but how it is broken and why I don't know - but it appears to me to be DNS related because pinging and browsing to IP addresses presents no problems.
Any tips on things I can try next would be most helpful. Thanks, Chad.

Yes, same problem here since the Airport update.
Used to have trouble reconnecting after sleep but I solved that problem by deleting then reseting my "Preferred Network" setting.
But since the update the MacBook just loses the connection to the internet. It seems to stay connected to the router (Linksys) and can see my iMac on Bonjour but not Internet connectivity.
On your clue, I disabled WPA and it hooked right up and seems to be working fine.
Now I just have to wait and see if it loses the connection spontaneously over the next few hours.
I don't know why one of your MacBooks is working and the other isn't. Were they both updated last week with the Airport update?

Can ibook with built in airport detect a private wpa secure network?

I have an ibook g4 with built-in airport. My home supports a d-link wirless router on private broadcast and wpa-psk security. The ibook has no problems linking to the router and the network but when the ibook goes to sleep or is shut down, it drops the connection. When I awaken the ibook or turn the ibook back on, I have to enter the SSID and the password every time. Is this normal for airport?
If not, what would be the problem?
My airport is set to join prefered networks by default and the only prefered network listed is the private network on the d-link router.
I also have a wirless laptop PC and it is able to pick-up and join the network without prompting though it sometimes has a hard time obtaining an IP address.
Any advice would be appreciated.

This started to happen to me just recently as well. The iBook was having no problem maintaining the connection with the wireless network. Over the past few days, the connection drops whenever the iBook sleeps or I restart. I have to reenter all the information.
I don't recall any sort of updates being installed, but it's very confusing.

Wi-Fi with WPA security, unable to connect. anyone experience?

Dear Ipod touch users,
My school is using Wi-Fi with WPA security, TKIP Data encryption and a Protected EAP (PEAP). The Select Authentication Method is Secured Password (EAP-MSCHAP V2). So far I've only been able to choose for WPA security, but cannot refine for TKIP, PEAP and MSCHAP V2.
The ipod touch seems to be connected, but safari and other application claim that they don't have internet connection.
Can anyone help me with this?

Have you tried restarting your router.

How to set WPA and WPA2 security with multiple AEs

Hi Everybody,
I have purchased a second AE and with the help of Alan Summers was able to set them all up for multiple speakers use in iTunes. In order to make them run I had to downgrade security settings to 40-bit WEP which is not really satisfying. My Airport Admin. Utility was still 4.0, so I tried 4.2 which offers the use of WPA and WPA2 with multiple AEs. Upgraded to 4.2 and switched off security settings first. Both AE are recogniced and speakers of second AE also show up in iTunes but I cannot connect to them. Since it didn't work without security settings, I didn't even try with it and went back using 4.0. All other firmware is up-to-date:
AirPort Express 6.3
iTunes 6.0.2
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection 9.0.3.0
Any advice would deeply be appreciated!
BTW - if it works, it's maybe the greatest sound experience I ever had. Music all over the place!!
Best regards
Roman

Found it!!
1) upgrade Airport Admin. Utility to 4.2
2) set second AE as "remote base station" and not in "client mode" (that's the clue!!)
3) follow instructions and type in MAC address of main base station
4) choose a channel (doesn't matter which one, just has to be the same on both AEs)
5) choose your personal WPA and WPA2 password (same on both AEs)
6) restart both AEs
7) enjoy the music all over the place!
Best regards

My ipad 2 (ios 6.1.2) continuously drops wifi and every few minutes, i receive tha black scrren with the apple... Any ideas on resolving? It is VERY frustrating!   If it helps, wifi is connected to our secured home internet.

Help......every few mins my wifi disconnects AND i rec the black display with the apple.... Any ideas to resolve? I am connected to secured home internet and have not connected to cellular svc.

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Playbook won't connect to the internet on wifi WPA setting with d-link router

Hi, I'm using a D-link DIR-655 router with it being set up with a WPA security system. For some reason though, when I've tried to set up my playbook, it won't connect to it. Can anyone help. Thanks.

Let me see if I can find how to reset your router. I think it's the same as mine actually. Your router is a pretty good router. I think with the settings I suggest to you you will get your PlayBook to connect reliably.
Also, when you get into your router, make sure your firmware is the most recent. Update it if you have to.
