WRE54G & WRT54G : RE is not visible. Connected w/wire then lost it.

I couldn't connect the WRE54G conventionally or rather wirelessly. I even had it on top of the router but it was not visible. I connected it with a Cat5 and finally located it. Set it up and then thought I was ready to go. My computer does not see the RE anywhere! I gave the RE a different name. Was that right? I'm starting to wonder if my computers wireless internal card is bad....help.

The Wireless Settings of your WRT54G and the WRE54G should be the same. If you have assign a different wireless network name to WRE54G is will not work.... WRE54G is a Range Expander and it will expander your existing wireless network.
Make sure the wireless settings of your wre and wrt are identical and it will work

Ipod will not stay connected for more then a few seconds

I was going to update my nano this morning after downloading the newest version of software, and first off it said the firmware was corrupt. so then I restored it, and it would not restore to the new version so i used the older version. the ipod seems to work in my hand but when i connect it to my computer it will not stay connected for more then a few seconds, then it ejects its self, but itunes still shows it as being there even though the rest of the computer does not
I have not had any issues with it since i bought it which was last june.
any ideas?
John

Hi John,
I would suggest, with your iPod disconnected, that you force your iPod into disk mode (following the instructions in this article)
Connect your iPod to your computer.
Then, try restoring it in iTunes while it is connected in disk mode.
Can you successfully restore your iPod?
If so, when the restoring and resyncing process is all complete, now update your iPod to the latest firmware.
Any success with trying that?

AirDisk File Sharing - Saving Files - Unable to connect via wires then...

OK, I followed these instructions from another poster as I was unable to save Microsoft Word documents directly to the drive via the "Save As" option...
-------- PREVIOUS POSTERS INFO ----------
The solution that works for me is to mount the AirDisk(s) using SMB instead of AFP.
This means you should log on the AEBS and configure the Disk for Windows File Sharing - this is on the 'File Sharing' tab of the Disks configuration group.
You only need to put in a Workgroup Name (I used "Basestation"). Don't worry about the WINS Server.
You should update your AEBS, and turn of the AirDisk Utility.
You then mount your disk(s) using SMB. You can do this using the Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server.
Enter the following:
smb://"YourBaseStationName".local./"YourDiskName"
You should then be asked to enter the Workgroup name, the disk name and the disk password.
This should mount your AirDisk using SMB.
In my experience, this not only solved my problem re saving within Word/Excel, but also increased the speed with which I can access the AirDisk...
(If you want these Disks to mount automatically when you login, then Add these disks to you Start Up items in your login account...)
-------- END POSTER ------
OK, so here is my problem... After doing this, I was able to save a file directly to the drive... I also followed these instructions as it said it would be faster overall... Now, I use Apple Backup 3.1 to backup both my laptops to my external hard drive on the Extreme. Well, when I brought up the drives on my desktop, the names didn't change, but the names of the drives were all capital letters... I think this threw off the Backup program because it said that it doesn't recognize this location, therefore, it showed that he had never backed up to that location before. So, figuring I changed it and caused a few minor changes, that I would just erase the hard drive, plug the hard drive directly into the laptop as I had done before to speed up the inital backup, and then go back to wireless backups thereafter as they wouldn't be "full" backups and would then be faster and tolerable. Well, when I went to connect the drive to my laptop via the USB cable, you could hear the drive mounting, you could see the drives mounted in Disk Utility, but they refused to show up on the desktop, no matter what. What does this mean? Did making the drives work as File Sharing drives make them no longer able to mount via a cable anymore? What gives? Any ideas?

1. My USB 500GB External Hard Drive is currently
partitioned into three different drives. The Volume
Format is "Mac OS Extended (Journaled), what is
that?
Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is one of the HFS formats. Apple does not use the term HFS anymore but it is the same thing. You can find a good explanation about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HFS_Plus
This will explain journalling, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalingfilesystem
2. What is a FAT volume? What does FAT stand for?
Where would I select that?
Here is an explanation about FAT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileAllocationTable
It is a choice in Disk Utility when you erase a disk.
3. What is an HFS volume? What does HFS stand for?
Where would I select that?
See above: Mac OS Extended.
It is a choice in Disk Utility when you erase a disk.
4. What does SMB mean/stand for?
It stands for Server Message Block explained here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ServerMessageBlock
It is a protocol for connecting to volumes over a network.
5. What does AFP mean/stand for?
It stands for Apple File Protocol explained here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleFilingProtocol
It is also a protocol for connecting to volumes over a network.
- Yes, I tried to save an MS Word document to my
AirPort Disk, but it hung up and I got the spinning
beach ball and ended in an error and I had to force
Microsoft Word to quit. Then I saw that posting and
I tried that, I was then able to open an MS Word
document and save it directly to the drive the first
time. However, like I said, it messed up my Backup
3.1 (When mounting as SMB) and made it believe that
this was a whole new drive and that it hadn't backed
up to it before, when it had, but only when I
connected as AFP.
Did Backup work when you connected using AFP?
- So, this would've been a simple fix if I plan on
staying with SMB share, however, when I go to connect
my USB External Hard Drive directly to my laptop, the
partitions do not mount on my drive like they had
before I made the drives a File Sharing device
through AirPort Utility.
Try using Disk Utility to repair the disk or disk permissions and see if you can read it again.
6. How do I get that drive to be recognized by my
computer again when I connect it directly to my
laptop?
I don't know why this is happening you may want to call Apple Support about that.
7. I don't care about anything Windows/PC, so
whatever way is FASTER and provides the BEST results,
let me know!
If you don't have PCs then stick with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as your volume file format.
8. Also, when I select "Connect to server" and then
click "Browse" and then "Network" nothing shows up in
there, but when I type the path in they connect just
fine, why?
That's strange! All available network volumes should show up when you click on the Network icon in the Finder. I don't know why it is not working for you.
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!
Some thoughts!
I would stick with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as your volume file format. If backing up to the network share is important to you, I would wait until Apple fixes the problem regarding opening and saving Word files directly to the network share (Air Disk). Save them locally and then copy them to the network share.

WRE54G does not stay connected

Router WRT54GS with extended antennas 7dbi, connected 4 wired devices, 3 computers and a network printer. Expander WRE54G, 192.168.1.240. Wireless devices, 2 laptops and a PC. Wireless configuration WPA2, all firmware is updated.
2 story house, Expander downstairs, laptop even without the Expander works fine
Initially installed & setup the expander worked fine. Every once in awhile begins flashing red, I pin the reset and push the auto configuration button and remains flashing red after cycling. All wireless devices sill connected, except the Expander.
This has happened before and I hardwired the Expander to re-setup and then place back downstairs. That happened about a month ago.
And since then, I decided to disable SSID broadcasting, so this maybe the problem. And today my wireless for whatever reason could not be detected by the laptops or PC and I just opened the WRT54GS web control page and enabled SSID broadcasting and noticed I had 2 SSID ID's I have no idea how this came about, it only shows on the Laptop running Vista.
And usually all my neighbors SSID's appear, for some reason not one was listed from either of my laptops. Is it possible someone is nearby to disrupt or block SSID transmitting and a reason for my WiFi side to go down?
I did not have to recyle my router either and I got my wireless back up, just not the Expander.
I will enable the SSID broadcasting and see if that solves my particular problem with the WRE54G Expander.
Thanks a million, sorry due to the economy, I do not have the $$, Doc

Hmmm. Are you sure you got the WRE to work with WPA2 security? It doesn't support that. So I guess that would explain your WRE's sporadic performance but I thought it would never connect that way. As for your other problems, I think a good power cycle of your whole network would do wonders. Why are you needing the WRE? Sounds like you are getting plenty of signal without it...

Why are shared files not visible when iPhone4S connected to iTunes?

What makes this problem mysterious is that I have exactly the same settings on the same or eqivalent Apps on iPad2 and iTunes4S but when my iPhone is connected to my iTunes (running on my PC under Win7) it shows no files on Apps like Pages, iBooks, Keynote, and Print-n-share. Each of these Apps has files and each shows files when I connect my iPad2. I cannot export or import filesto/from itunes and iphone because the list of files inside the Apps is not visible in itunes.
PS I CAN, btw, export and import files by using the amazing App and service "DropBox" which is the only route in and out of my iPhone (I am not ready to use iCloud).

This is not a reply but an addition. While searching for answers as to why "Shared" files in original Apps in my iPhone4S did not appear on itunes I came across a similar discussion on another Forum in which Jim described in some detail how to get the two devices (my iPhone 4S and my iPad2) to recognize similar embedded files in similar Apps. https://discussions.apple.com/message/16690584#16690584
I went through this promising procedure but it did not help. Since the two devices are independent (I think -- they are on the same accoubt but ar different devices) I should be able to make them work the same way with regard to what is seem in iTune.

WRT54G v.5 will not stay connected to new laptop/Windows 7 Premium

WRT54G v.5 will not stay connected to new laptop/Windows 7 Premium. It continuously runs through a cycle of detecting, connecting, losing connection; detecting, connecting, losing connection, etc. A the router runs through this cycle, basically acting as if I have disconnected then reconnected to power to reset it, it disrupts my Internet connection to both my wired iMac and other, wireless desktop upstairs. Paid for Linksys support today and through remote access he set up a new network on my desktop (iMac). After he finished, the problem still existed. When I told him the problem hadn't been fixed, he told me just wait for an hour or so and it should work itself out. It, of course, did not work itself out. Any ideas out there?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Never mind-I seem to have fixed the problem with a simple firmware upgrade. Funny how the Linksys support technician didn't think to ask what version of the router I have or suggest that I should try upgrading the firmware first. He was, however, quite good at trying to upsell me to a new router instead of trying to help me fix the problem I was having. Makes me want to go buy Netgear next time, thank you very much!

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

Time Capsule not visible when connecting via range extender

Hi,
I have configured a TP-Link WA750RE to expand the range of my Time Capsule's wireless network. The range extender works fine for surfing the web etc., but the Time Capsule doesn't show up as my Time Machine backup device and the Time Capsule is not visible in my Airport Utility. What's even stranger is that when I click on "Configure other" (shift + command + o) in Airport Utility and type in my Time Capsule's IP-address and password, I can still access the devices' configuration menu.
When I move my Macbook very close to my Time Machine to connect directly to the wireless network, leaving out the range extender, none of the above mentioned problems occur. The TP-Link range extender has no NAT or port configuration that could possibly cause this problem, so I'm out of ideas for a way to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance for your help.

A non-apple range extender is not passing the protocols that apple uses.. eg bonjour.. This is a standard problem and why you stick with using Apple's own routers for extensions.

i have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

Some updates and clarifications:
1. I already have my 2.4 channel fixed.
2. Wireless network name is 8 alphanumeric characters; no spaces
3. Already using WPA2 security with a 10 alphanumeric key (again, no spaces)
4. I am running Airport Utility 6.0, Mac OS version 10.7.4
I should also say that these problems started happening less than a month ago...prior to that all devices where working normally.
An added update: My two e-readers (nook ST and Kindle 3) are also refusing to connect...perhaps confirming that I have 2.4 GHz issues?

AE not visible in Airport list/No wireless connection

Hi
I've been using an AE for the last few months to create a wireless network with a Pirelli Tiscali modem. It worked fine until about 2 weeks ago when it dropped out and became unusable. I've done many factory resets as well as others. Occasionally Airport picks it up and lets me configure the AE but then it disappears immediately. Basically it's just not visible in the Airport list. I've updated the firmware on the AE and have got iTunes 8. Any ideas? I want my wireless back!!

IDOC not visible in IR but metadata successfully imported

Hi,
I have this wiered issue.
I want to import IDOC WPUSKR01 (cashier productivity) from BI.
But when I connect to BI system from IR to import Idoc structure, this IDOC is not visible.
But I can manually import the metadata from BI in idx2.
Now how to import this in IR?
I have imported other Idocs (like WPUBON) before and did the scenario successfully for BI.
Regards,
Anirudh Vyas.

Hi,
In BI Tcode we82 I have manually added the entries for WPUKSR01. Now Idoc is visible when importing in IR.
I have checked all the segments in we31, they are all released.
But it gives error:
Error: IDoc type WPUKSR01 contains errors (unable to read segments)
Then, I checked in R/3, there also WPUKSR01 was not there in we82. I manually added there and I was successfully able to import it in IR.
But the same thing is failing in BI. I have SAPALL permissions in all the systems.
Can I use Idoc imported from R/3 in scenario for BI?
regards,
Anirudh.

Agent is not visible in Cisco Supervisor Desk Top

Agent is not visible in Cisco Supervisor Desk Top
Problem Details: UCCX 5.0(2)SR02_Build045
CUCU 6.1.4
For some reason I can not get one of my agents to show up in Cisco Supervisor Desk Top
I have never had a problem like this before. I configured this phone and agent just like
all the others. The following is a list of items I have checked and double-checked.
CM user and Password
ICD One Button Logon
UCCX, Teams, Resources and Q’s
IPCC directory number
RMCM App User Association
Skills
Deleted user and re added user
I also did the following:
From my PC telnet to UCCX Server port 5900, Successful
From my Server telnet to my phone xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 59021 and 59020 not successful
My phone and agent work fine.
I shut off my virus protection and had the same results
Most of the PC’s and phones in my environment had separate Ethernet ports and they show up just fine in the Cisco Supervisor Desk Top
Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks, Tom

Hello Tom,
In this case what you should try to telnet into that specific port is the Agents PC where the CAD software is running, this ports are use by the UCCX for the chat service. this service is the one that handles not oly the chat feature between the agents but also the agent status in the suppervisor desktop.
Please follow this document, and test again the connectivity.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/custcosw/ps1846/products_tech_note09186a008035309f.shtml
Another important detail to check is if the Agents Pc has the Windows Firewall running or any anti virus software that could block the ports as well

Mac OS 9 AFP file sharing volume not visible under Mac OS 10.5

An old blue-white PowerMac G3 running Mac OS 9.2.2 with file sharing on is not visible on the network for a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.5. – However, a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.11 perfectly shows the G3.
Connecting to the G3 works on the new MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5 if I use the server's IP-address (afp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) but does not work if I use the server's name (afp://<servername>).
All other shares on the network are visible for both the MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5 and the PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.
Why does the MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.5 not show the G3?
Why can't I connect to the G3 using its AFP name?

I think this is because there is no AppleTalk on Leopard.
Ah, I stand corrected........
Go to SystemPreferences > Network
Select your connection in the left column. Advanced > AppleTalk
Enable AppleTalk for your connection.

WRT54GS - No longer able to connect to internet

Hello
I've been using the WRT54GS for at least three years without any major problems. My set up has two main PCs, one in the basement we'll call F-PC and the other on the second floor we'll call M-PC. F-PC connects via wire to the WRT54GS, which in turn connects to the Motorola cable modem. M-PC connects wirelessly via a Belkin device.
This weekend I had some problems on M-PC, so re-installed Vista. After the re-install I accidentally ran an .exe file on it which contained a virus called dropper.vb.oq according to AVG, which I only installed after running the exe file. I probably didn't set the firewall up right away either. There were no effects when I ran the .exe, it just didn't visibly do anything.
After deleting the infected file, I noticed that M-PC could no longer connect to the internet. I checked F-PC and same thing. I tried logging in to the router but it wasn't recognising my password, so tonight I reset the modem and re-entered all the settings. Still no luck, yet when I remove the router from F-PC and just plug it directly in to the cable modem, I can get online. I have upgraded the firmware to 4.71.4 tonight.
When I have the router in place, I can't connect to the internet, yet the internet LED on the front of the WRT54GS flickers constantly. I am able to ping the router when I connect it directly to the PC and it works.
My questions are:
1)The failure of the router is probably unconnected to running an infected file, right? Could a virus on a computer wirelessly connected to another really knock out the router?
2)Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing the problem, or should I just buy a new router?
Thanks for taking the time to read
Mark

virus cannot affect router. Seems like a settings issue on router. Who is your ISP? Try cloning MAC address of router with that of your main computer.
