WRT54GS - Wireless Apple Devices not Connecting

I have a WRT54GS. The problem I am having is that my apple products will not connect to the router. All of my Microsoft computers are able to connect and use the internet.

What particular Wireless Security are you using? If you are using WEP, try to put a # sign before the actual key. Or make sure you are using the correct wireless security passphrase if you are using WPA.

Why are all my Apple devices not connecting to the web?

I have an Airport express and has been working fine up until recently. Now none of my Apple devices are connecting to the web. They all find the network no problem and all connect however they will not connect to the internet. The strange thing is that our Windows laptop works fine but absolutly nothing from Apple, this includes a 2011 MacBook pro, iphone 3gs, ipod touch, Apple tv and 2x 2nd gen ipads. I have reset the airport and set up a new network, it worked for one day and is back to how it was. Any advice would be great

I seem to be having a similair issue. I have an AirPort Extreme and my iMac connects fine but now my Kindle and Netflix are unable to connect to the Internet? They see my network but just can't connect to the internet?
I used to have my cable modem connected to a Vonage phone router, which then connected to my Airport. Everything worked fine then. I recently canceled my Vonage service and removed the phone router. Now my cable modem is connected directly to my Airport. Did removing the phone router casue my problem? Do I need to re-set something to get my kindle and Netflix to work again?

HP Photosmart C4795 Wireless Setup (Error Messege: Device Not Connected) Help?!?

I've had my HP Photosmart C4795 since 2009. I've haven't had any major issues with the printer until recently (probably time to get a new one).
This is my issue; the printer can't connect to my network. I'm able to print via USB from my Mac or PC. But I'd like to be able to print from any computer on my home network. In the past I've setup the printer to network with minor issue. I've had issues ever since the Mountain Lion Update (running version 10.8.3).
I've attempted to try once again to connect the printer to the network and I get an error message from my the HP Installer software (Device Not Connected). I've tried to troubleshoot the printer with no luck. These are solutions I've tried
1) Uninstalled HP Installer Software/Setup via Mac - I added the printer using the latested instructions provide from HP Supports section. I set up the printer but I can't it isn't showing up on any other computer.
2) WPS - My router (supplied by Comcast) couldn't find the printer. I used routers login website to connect the printer but it didn't work.
3) I've printed out the HP Network Configuration Page and manually add the printer's MAC Address to list on my router's devices list. I still can't connect wirelessly to the printer.
I've connected this printer wirelessly in the past before the Mountain Lion Update. Can anyone help?

First, on the printer go to Setup [Scan] > Wireless > Restore Defaults.
Then, set the printer up using WPS (pushbutton) - start it in the printer (Wireless menu) first, then the router within 2 minutes of starting it on the printer.
There is no HP software for 10.8, so you need to uninstall it. Uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
Now reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

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.

Cisco 877w - Apple devices not able to see wired apple TV

Hello All,
Can anyone point me to a doc or forum discussion on how to setup the wireless interface to forward multicast packets? Basically I cant get the ipads etc.. to see the AppleTV to control it. I connected an AP and it works fine so its got to be something with the way the router handles the packets from teh integrated wireless interface. I've been searching the forum for about 1hr and haven't founf anything other than a breif mention of broadcast forwarding and multicast setup.
Has anyone got anything more complrehensive I can read?
Thanks
David

Hello David,
Thank you for contacting the Sales Acceleration Center (SAC) regarding your recent inquiry, Case Number
Case Description:
Cisco 877w - Apple devices not able to see wired apple TV
Case Solution:
The Bonjour service uses multicast to advertise your Home Sharing enabled device to the local network. In my case the Cisco 877W I was using had a Layer 3 enabled BVI (Bridged Virtual Interface) to which the Wireless Dot11Radio interface was not fowarding multicast packets properly.
First of all, obtain the Multicast groups your wireless adapter is configured for (on Windows open a command prompt and run the below command):
The result will give you an output as per below, we are interested in the multicast address directly after the 224.0.0.252 address 239.255.255.250:
Then we need to enable multicast routing on the router, connect to your router and enter config terminal mode:
Next we will configure IGMP v3 and add the relevant Wireless interface on your router to the correct multicast address group:
Next perform the same config your BVI interface:
Once complete save your changes and confirm both interfaces have been added to the multicast groups using the command sh ip igmp group:
You now need to reload your router and restart iTunes and then attempt to connect to Home Sharing from your Apple TV.
Other commands that I used to troubleshoot with were:
debug ip mpacket - Multicast Packet Debugging
debug ip mroute - Debug Multicast Routing
sh ip mroute - Show IP Multicast Routes
By default the Cisco implementation of a Dot11Radio interface and a BVI interface don't appear to forward multicast packets between each other. Seems odd to me as they're both in the same L2 bridging group..anyway.
I am going to close the case for this specific inquiry on my side. If you need moere information Please feel free to reach out to me or any member of the SAC team if we can be of any further assistance or if you have any other related questions in the future. We strive to provide you with excellent service. We value your input and look forward to serving you moving forward.

HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV. So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine.
So it seemed to work. I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

MuVo "device not connected" firmware update error

When I try to execute the plan given by Pook Kok Choy (below between "=====")
I successfully get MUVO_DRV_LB_00_04_250.exe installed.
When I move to step 2 I have the device attached to the PC but I get the message "device not connected to the USB port".
This happens, with the device connected and on while trying to install:
MUVOAudible_PCFW__40_2_L4.exe
Apparently, I am not alone in having this problem.
Apparently, this happens to others - using XP - specifically when trying to do this firmware upgrade in order to play purchased WMA, DRM protected music.
The PC recognizes the MuVo 28.
It assigns it a dri've letter when it is plugged in.
The install procedure for the *Audible* firmware does not see it.
Please help.
Tbanks,

JLRtist,
After you have installed the latest downloaded driver, did you run the player into recovery mode? Try this,press and hold the PLAY button, continue holding the button while inserting the player into the USB port for about 0-5 sec. Run the firmware update file.

Devices not connecting to Afaria

I have been having a problem the last couple days of devices not connecting to Afaria. Afaria can connect to the devices to send policies but the devices cannot connect back. When trying to enroll, the app displays "Downloading enrollment data" followed by "enrollment failed" and when refreshing the connecting "Verifying device status" is displayed followed by "Connection failed." I have searched the knowledge base for an answer and rebooted both the Afaria server and Relay Server without success. Can anyone point me in the direction I should look at?

Try un-enrolling the device and make sure the afaria client has administrator preveliges.
For iOS -> Settings -> General-> Afaria -> administrator preveliges.
Also check if the latest profiles are installed on your iOS device.
For android follow the same steps
Settings -> Applications -> Afaria -> Admin preveliges.
If this does not work, try generating a new code and try enrolling the device back:

Wireless card could not connect after mother replacement

Hi,
I just replace my lenovo T430i motherboard, everything working except Wireless card could not connect to wirelesss network. I take to the shop they replace new wireless card, but it still appear the same problem. Is there anyone having the same problem.
Best Regards,
Bunheng Mom

Hello bunheng,
If you could please boot into BIOS at start-up. On the main page this should show you your system-unit serial number, and the system board serial number. Could you check and make sure both of these fields are occupied.
One step at a time.
Hope this helps,

Creative Zen Micro Firmware problem: "Device not connected, please connect your devi

After an exhausti've search, I've found the fix for losing your firmware and not being able to update it via download from the creative.com. To explain my problem, I had issues with my device connectivity, so I tried to option of reloadinging my firmware via Recovery Mode (option 3, 'Reload Firmware'). After selecting this option, I tried to download and update my firmware via the creative.com website. The module to update my firmware displayed the error message "Device not connected, please connect your device." After about 2 hours of trying various suggested fixes, I found a relati'vely easy fix by running together various suggestions I found for other problems. First rollback your Windows Media Player (WMP) via the instructions found on this page: http://www.auditmypc.com/uninstall-m...layer0beta.asp. Restart your computer after rolling back WMP.
When your compter restarts, insert the "playsforsure" CD labeled "Easy Start CD." Follow the directions for reinstalling WMP. After WMP is reinstalled, restart again. When the computer restarts, return to the CD and follow the directions in the prompt. Reconnect your device when prompted. Once you reconnect your device, it may not function right away. If this is the case, go to the 'Start' button, under 'Control Pannel,' select 'System.' Under 'System' select 'Hardware' and then 'Device Manager.' Find your portable device under 'Uni'versal Serial Bus controllers.' Click on your device and select 'Uninstall' from the small icons at the top of the window. When this is completed, unplug and plug your device back in. After this is done, click on 'Scan for hardware changes,' also a small icon at the top of the window. If your device had the problem mine did, it should now be recognized. Go back to the Creative website and download the latest firmware. The module should now find your player without any problems.
The only thing I can figure is that the "playsforsure Easy Start CD" must have a device driver that solves the problem that you can't find anywhere else. I hope this helps someone out there (tech support was telling me that I was going to have to ship my device back to the company I bought it from to get it exchanged...which would have taken at least a month, I'm sure). Good luck to you all.

For all of you non-technical Micro owners:
I found a fix for this that I hope will help others out.
When I want to Sync tracks to My Zen using Yahoo Jukebox or WMP, I simply reboot my machine with the device PLUGGED IN. After Windows starts up, my applications recognize that the Zen Micro is connected. Good Luck.

Some wireless devices not connecting/dropping conn...

Hi,
Am hoping someone can help or suggest possible problems/solutions...
For the past couple of months several of my devices that used to connect to the Internet via my Home Hub 3.0 wirelessly now regularly fail to connect to the secure connection, requiring a reboot of the hub before they will connect to the Internet - which they then do. This problem occurs again after a period of time (haven't really been monitoring how long - probably after it looses the connection (switch device off, or leave Wi-Fi area)).
The devices will connect to the Internet via unsecured BT Wi-Fi or FON all of the time, and will also wirelessly connect to the secure hub but will not pass through to the Internet - or at least the device will show connected to the secure WiFi (but will not connect to the Internet if tried).
I noticed that another post refers to a Hub 3a upgrade recently (finishing in January)...could this have caused some kind of issue on my hub not allowing certain types of wireless connection/pass through? The devices that have problems may be a little older - Netgear WNA3100 (802.11 b/g/n) adapter and an android phone (802.11 b/g/n), however another android phone and laptop adapter do always work?
I'd be grateful of any suggestions?
Thanks...
