WRT54G ver.4 will not connect to some wireless adaptors

My WRT54G v4 has the latest firmware. It connects to several wireless laptops just fine, including macintoshs.
However our Xbox360 wireless adaptor does not connect, and neither does one Dell laptop we have.
We have already made sure we have the right WEP key entered etc., we basically cloned the settings from the laptops that do work. We have DHCP enabled.
What happens is the Xbox360 sees the network, connects fine, but is not assigned an IP address and so cannot access the internet or LAN.
Any help would be appreciated.

Horsey!
Set the wireless mode of router to mixed.
The Dell laptop has it's own utility, use that coz that would be much easier to connect wirelessly.
For the XBOX, is it set to obtain an ip address & dns servers?? If so, assign an IP on your XBOX that is just in range of the router. [i.e. 192.168.1.10] By the way, IP that you're going to assign should be below 50.

IPad 4th gen will not connect to some wireless networks

My iPad 4th generation will not connect to some wifi ssid's. My iphone connects and my wife's iPad mini connects just fine. Some wifi'so always connect and others do not. I notice it often in hotels. I also have two wireless routers at home. One connects fine. The other only connects via 5g broadcast, not on normal ssid broadcast, yet all other devices can connect just fine. Is this a hardware issue? Or some sort of setting?
I have tried every fix I have read online:
reset network settings
toggled airplane mode
toggled wifi button
rebooted
ineven reset my iPad to factory condition and reloaded everything from backup

Recently purchased iPad Mini. Could not get it to connect. Changed router's setting to Channel 6 and IPad connected. Even after 6.0.2 it will not connect to some home networks although it will to public networks e.g. McDonald's.

Recently purchased iPad Mini. Downloaded iOS 6.0.1. Could not get it to connect to Home WiFi using Linksys G Router. Have another Wifi Network in Home (CenturyLink provided it as a DSL/Router combo). Would not connect (nor would my iPhone 4s or my wife's iPhone 4) until I accessed the router's setting and changed to broadcast on Channel 6 and then IPad connected. I suspect the only reason the iPhone were still connected to the Linksys network is that they were before I "upgraded to iOS 6. Even after 6.0.2 the iPad and both iPhones will not connect to some home networks (its random) although thye will connect to public networks e.g. McDonald's, Panera, etc.

Officejet J6450 will NOT connect to laptop wirelessly - PLEASE HELP...

Good afternoon,
I just spent almost two hours on the phone with a woman from the HP Tech Support team that I could barely understand (not exaggerating - would be wonderful to bring back customer service to the US - god knows we need some more jobs here!!). She had me do a number of things, none of which solved my problem - needless to say, it was a very frustrating two hours and now I am very frustrated!
My issue is that my laptop will not recognize the wireless Officejet J6450. I have Comcast broadband cable internet, a Linksys wireless router, an HP desktop, and a Dell laptop (laptop is from employer - I work from home). I loaded all of the software on my desktop first (connected via USB) and everything worked perfectly. I used the Network Setup Wizard on the printer and connected to my Linksys wireless router with no issue whatsoever (full signal strength). I printed a wireless netwok report - no problems were found - all diagnostic tests were a success. The ethernet adapter wireless network connection IP address on my laptop is 192.168.1.102 and the IP address of the printer is 192.168.1.103. So then I proceeded to load the software to my laptop for wireless connection - thinking all along how easy getting everything set up has been. I then loaded the software to the laptop and I got to the part where it asks what type of connection I want to set up. I chose wireless and it asked me to temporarily plug the laptop to the printer via USB cable. I did so and it began searching for my wireless network. I selected my wireless network and it began searching for my printer. This is were I hit the brick wall - it could not find my printer. I tried again - chose my network, tried to find the printer - no such luck.
I then did a Google search and checked these boards regarding alternative solutions. I tried installing through Windows printers (BTW - laptop is running XP SP2). Selected Local Printer, unchecked the automatically select box, chose standard TCP/IP, etc. - that didn't work either.
I consider myself fairly PC savvy and I am perplexed by this - just doesn't make any sense why the laptop won't detect the wireless printer.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance regarding my connectivity issue as I do NOT want to call HP Tech Support back.
One other thing, the Tech Support lady told me to reset the printer by turning it off and then having me press the pound button and the number 6 before turning it back on. Not sure why she had me do this, but it reset the ink cartridges and alignment and now the printer no longer reports how much ink is left. Any way to fix that?
Lastly, out of curiosity, why does HP recommend not leaving the wireless enabled on the printer when not using it? Doesn't make any sense to have to turn off wireless everytime after printing and then turn it back on when needing to print again.
Sorry for this long post - hopefully this is enough information for you to help me out.
Thanks in advance!
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
First, I have no idea why we are recommending turning off the printer's radio when you are not using it. The only thing I can image is that if you leave the radio on and in its default configuration (SSID = hpsetup, no security, Ad-Hoc), then you are susceptible to neighbors or war-drivers using your printer.
Next, you have an interesting problem. You've done everything I would have tried (check connectivity by browsing the printer's internal web page, turn off the firewall, try to manually add the printer).
I know you've disabled the firewall. I might recommend uninstalling the firewall temporarily, then installing the SW again to see if that works. Also, you might check to see that you don't have another firewall accidentally enabled (maybe the Windows firewall?).
Finally -- is there anything unusual about your wireless-router configuration? Have you set any port-forwarding or other advanced settings? BTW -- what model wireless-router are you running?
And of course there's a rather painful step to try that usually works: reinstall the OS on your laptop and then install the printer SW (I'm somewhat embarrassed to suggest this but it does seem to work).

MacBook Pro will not connect to Cisco Wireless Network

I have just bought a brand new MacBook Pro, running Leopard (OSX 10.5.1) and I just cannot get it to connect to the Wireless Network at my workplace.
The MBP connects to wireless network and authenticates just fine, but will not obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.
The wireless network consists of 16 Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Points controlled by a Cisco Wireless Network Controller. It does not broadcast its SSID and is WEP 128-bit hex protected.
Changing the network from WEP to WPA is out of the question for me as this is under the control of my customers IT Department and they do not have any problems with their PCs connecting to the network. It appears to be an Apple issue.
For reference, my old Vaio PC, my Nokia N95 and my iPod Touch ALL connect to the same wireless network without any problems whatsoever, first time, every time!
If I boot into Windows XP from my Boot Camp partition, XP can connect wirelessly to the network without any problems, so it is not MacBook hardware related...
It has to be a bug in Mac OSX... doesn't it?!?
Things I have already tried (following suggestions on many forums):
* Switching Airport off/on
* Deleting various network-related Plist files and rebooting
* Manually assigning an IP Address (not really permitted but doesn't work anyway!)
* Disabling all network adaptors except Airport
AP Grapher shows that the MBP is connected to the wireless network, at good strength, and packets are being sent and received, but Internet Access is not possible as no IP Address has been assigned. Instead, my MBP shows a 169.* IP Address (self-assigned). It should be a 10.1.255.* address.
Can anybody please help? Thank you.

i posted this same reply elsewhere because it worked for me for my Buffalo wireless router: try manually setting your IP address instead of relying on DHCP, which sometimes (I don't know why) doesn't work well with Macs. It's a good get around. I am a happy Mac user but nothing is perfect on earth, and when the Mac gives problems, it does give a lot of frustration. Macs are not as easy to troubleshoot as Win because a Mac is built to be user friendly(and it works most of the time), meaning a lot of the background computing stuff is hidden away from users to avoid user accidentally upsetting some settings.
Unfortunately, the highly automated troubleshooting wizards provided by OS X are not perfect so when these software wizards fail to resolve the problem, like my Network Diagnostics, I have to spend more time tinkering around. There's "Terminal" of course but then most of us, especially PC converts to Macs, don't know how to use it.
You should also try updating your MBP, see if there are any new updates being released.

HP Officejet 6000 will not connect to new wireless modem.

I have Windows 8.1. My HP Officejet 6000 E609n wireless printer worked well, until the modem died and a new one was installed (new address). I need to know how to make it recognize the new network address. (Note: I tried to install the original setup software, but the CD would not run under Windows 8).

New 15" MBP will not connect to my wireless network

This is my first Mac, so I will try to give as much information as possible.
I have a brand new (got it yesterday) 15" MBP and it refuses to connect to my home wireless network. It is an older "g" network using a Linksys router and 128bit WEP encryption. For reference - I have an iPad and 2 iPhones in my household, and those have all connected to the same network without problem, as have the 2 windows laptops that my wife & I use for work so I don't think it's the network.
Anyway - I fired up the MBP and went through the set up assistant. When I try to join my wireless network, it detects the network fine. I select the network and try to connect. It goes throught the process and then I get a prompt that says "Network conditions have changed". I click OK and it prompts me to enter the password for the wireless network. (At this point I have the little exclamation point in the wifi symbol on the top of the screen telling me I have no internet access - which I believe is how it's supposed to look).
On the password screen, I select "WEP 40/128 Hex" as the password type - on the security information screen in the router set-up it says "WEP 26 hex 128 bit" as the type, so I believe that's the correct password type for the MBP. I enter the 26 digit key (the same one that I used to connect the iPad/iPhones) and after trying to connect for a couple minutes I get the "Network conditions have changed" prompt again. I click OK, and then it tells me it failed to connect to the network.
I have tried entering the WEP key with a "$" in front of it and entering it with "0x" or "0X" in front of it and the same thing happens. I've also tried changing the password type to "WEP Password" and entering the password I used in the router to generate the hex key, and the same thing - it tries to connect and then I get the "Network conditions have changed" prompt and it tells me it failed to connect.
I am at a loss. I haven't touched the router's settings because everything else I have (Apple and non-Apple products) have all connected just fine - all I've had to do is enter the WEP key and they have connected.
What am I doing wrong? Is the MBP somehow different and I need to change something in the router settings? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, BT Hubs do not play well with HP printers, probably because they do not strictly follow wifi standards.
One thing to try is to change your encryption to WPA ONLY.

HP Officejet 6500A Printer will not connect to WPA wireless network.

An HP Network Configuartion Report from my printer states that the printer's Authentication Type is WPA-PSK. My router is WPA2 or WPA and won't connect to the printer. What is the solution to this problem?

Hi DWILKEN welcome to the Forum,
I understand that you are trying to get your printer connected to your router. I will try my best to help you do this. In this document for Installing the Printer Software on a Wired (Ethernet) or Wireless Network (Using an Access Point) are the steps needed to install the printer on the router. In order to connect them you will need to connect the printer to the wireless network before trying to install it on your computer.
Here is a document on How to Find the WEP or WPA Key or Password for Your Network as you will need this to connect your printer to your router.
I hope this information helps, let me know how it goes.
Thank you,

IPAD2 not connecting to some sites since IOS update

Since the recent IOS 8 update, my IPAD will not connect to some sites. It reads servere not found. I'm trying to get onto my work site which is very important. Now, my IPAD seems useless for work. I have turned off and back on which did not help. I have read that resetting it doesn't help either. Please help.

i checked for updated firmware on the d'link dir-615 router back in september when this first happened (after the ios6 update) but the firmware was already up to date - although the last update was 2009.
This was my first clue.
After further research, I discovered that all DIR series products have been discontinued by D'Link. This means that when apple is preparing for a software update, it requests all software/hardware specs from wifi router companies like D'Link, Netgear, Garmin, Cysco, etc. Since D'LInk no longer produces DIR series routers, they did not provide the info. D'Link only provided info for it's newest line of wireless routers.
Leaving all existing DIR users in the dust, with a failed strategy that we'd all buy the new line of wifi routers.
Yesterday, I purchased an Apple wifi router, although pricey at $99, i plugged it in, typed the network name and pw want to use, and it was up and running in less than 5 minutes. The apple router will recieve software/firmware updates just as my iphone, macbook, & ipad does. Everything is working perfectly, and the higher price is worth the convenience and reliability.
If anyone makes it this far, the only thing left would be to check with your internet service provider (comcast, RCN, etc) and make sure you have the most up to date modem. some folks are unable to send text & pic messages on wifi using an out of date modem. (i didn't have to replace mine, but i'm also not having this issue now that i have the new apple wifi router.)
Hope this helps at least a few people out there.
