WRT 120N - Radio Type only shows as "802.11g." Cannot connect as "N"

Hello,
I have a new dell studio laptop with an internal "N" card as well as an xbox with an N adapter. However, the "radio type" showin in my network list keeps saying "802.11g." I have done the following:
Rebooted, reinstalled the router
Upgraded the firmware
reset to default and created a new ssid.
delereted and reinstalled the connections on both the laptop and the xbox.
When I change the setting in the setup page to "N only," both my computer and xbox lose their connections.
Spent an hour with linksys, they couldn't figure it out. Any ideas???

I have the same model of router (WRT120N) with the latest available firmware and am having the same problem you are having with the network adapter software on the 2 wireless devices I have connected to this router only showing the wireless network I created as B and G, not N. I would not change the N Transmission Rate setting if you have B/G clients in your network because the help file under Wireless --> Advanced Wireless Settings in the router config page states: "Changing the N Transmission Rate other than Auto will disable B/G clients". I have not been able to try the other settings changes suggested by the previous poster, but I will report back here soon if I have any success with them. I would reset the changes you made back to their previous settings to at least make your laptop and Xbox able to connect to the router on 802.11b/g modes for now.

Airport Express 802.11g cannot connect with OS X 10.8.3

Hi just updated my MacBook Pro to OS X to 10.8.3. I have an older model Airport Express (802.11g) that I have been able use to set up wireless speakers via Airport Utility 5.6 and 5.6.1. However, this most recent Mountain Lion update has rendered my Airport Express useless. I have to restart Airport Express each time I want to try to use it, to which Airport Utility will find the device and successfully add it to my existing wifi to allow me to play music wirelessly through my speakers. The second I close my MacBook, though, everything disconnects and Airport Utility is no longer able to find my device. The green light is steady on the Airport Express, so I know that is hooked up and working correctly. Is there a fix for this....? Thank you!

See if setting a static IP will correct the problem. Step 5 in the document below will walk you through the steps. Let me know what happens.

I even can't send them an e-mail ? What type of company it is ?

Yes, Apple has caused people to go through massive panic, anxiety and wasted time by not coming out and telling us about this problem. They must know about it. How can we tell them? Now I understand why it took me 50 tries to upgrade to OS5. We all got the same crazy errors that caused us to reinstall iTunes, turn off our firewalls, buy new USB cables and basically waste tons of time and energy, when the solution was very simple. Plug your device into a USB port on your computer.
After years of using a peripheral USB hub successfully it's no wonder we all started freaking out and thinking it was a major problem. Yes, I'm blowing off some steam, but I've been an Apple fanatic for a long time and I'm not happy about their lack of response to this issue.

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

I paired my apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad but when trying to connect back to iMac it shows paired but I cannot connect to it

I paired my apple Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad. Now I paired it with my iMac it shows paired but I cannot connect to it?

Hello:
Try this on your iPad:
Unpairing a Bluetooth accessory
If you've paired iPad with an accessory that you no longer wish to use, you can unpair the accessory.
From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth isn't on, turn it on.
Choose the accessory and tap Unpair.

As my screen only shows 2/3rds and cannot see right 1/3, please advise how to fix

My screen when I opened this morning on Firefox only showed 2/3rds of the screen and I couldn't see the right 1/3rd.
Can this be fixed?
I opened up Windows okay

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

IPhone 4S only shows up in iTunes when connected to the laptop through USB, even though wifi sync has been enabled

Why will my 4S only show up in iTunes when it is connected to the laptop through USB? Even though I have ticked the box for the wifi sync and had no problems with it being plugged into the wall and still showed up in iTunes up until a few days ago. Help please !

Connect your iPhone to your computer and click on it, you should see an option under options for 'sync with this phone over wi-fi' unclick it and it should stop connecting over wifi.

Hey RStarks04,
Sounds like this is the image you're seeing?
If so, you'll want to perform a recovery-mode restore. You can read more about it here:

Apple TV doesn't show main menu and cannot connect to iTunes store

I've been using my Apple TV almost everyday for the past week and i've had it for awhile and all of the sudden it only shows the "computer" and "settings" buttons. It looks like it's connected to the internet because it has an IP address, but it still doesn't show any of the usual buttons on the main menu. When I go to test network it says "cannot connect to itunes store," and says the same when I put in my username and password. I just entered same same username and password in my itunes with no issues so I know the username and password are correct. I've restarted my apple tv a couple of times. I tried to restore it and it says "the update was not successful. The apple tv update couldn't download at this time. Try again later." Agh! I don't know what else to do! Any suggestions are appreciated!!!! Thanks!

A reboot will reset the connection to the network, as those 2 icons are the only ones that don't require an internet connection they are the only ones that will show up in the event of such an issue.

Airport Express 802.11g Airplay Connection Issues

My dad has had an AirPort Express 802.11g hooked up to his stereo for a couple of years now. Uses it only to stream music. Our WiFi network is run by an older AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd Generation). Express firmware is at 6.3, as high as it can go for the g models.
2 months ago, I got my dad an iPhone 5 running iOS 6, and upgraded his MacBook to run OS X 10.7 Lion so he could sync and use iCloud and all that stuff. From that moment forward, connections to the AirPort Express are awful or nonexistent for most devices. Many times after you tell iTunes or the Music app to connect to it, when you hit play nothing will happen. Sometimes the progress bar will move, but no sound will play. Other times the sound will start, go for ~5 seconds, and then cut out. No issues with staying on the WiFi network.
Devices AirPlay DOES NOT work properly with:
- Dad's MacBook (final-gen plastic model) running OS X 10.7
- Dad's iPhone 5 (iOS 6)
- My iPhone 4S (iOS 6)
Devices AirPlay DOES work with:
- Dad's older iMac running OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
- My MacBook Air running OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion
None of his music is on the iMac, and the concept of doing a VNC to make it work would be far out of his level of understanding.
Is this a case of me just needing to get him a new AirPort Express for full compatibility, or is there another workaround? Eventually I'm going to get him off of his MacBook and up to something more currently, like my Air in September when I upgrade.
This is practically the only thing my dad uses his computer for, so any help I can receive to get this working would be MUCH appreciated.

Hello niclake,
I found an article for you that would be a good place to start troubleshooting Airplay on the AppleTV.
Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215
Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express. Try the following suggestions:
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Turn off Bluetooth on your iOS device by tapping Settings > General > Bluetooth.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your Apple TV and iPhone/iPad.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
All the best,
Sterling

Open System Preferrences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure Mac App Store and indentified developers is selected.
If that area is greyed out, click the gold padlock icon to make changes. You may be prompted for your admin password.
