WRT610N lack of wireless connectivity

I have a WRT610N V1 wireless router. The wireless has always been a little quirky and stopped working for short periods of time. It now won't connect at all. My computer sees the signals for both 2.4 and 5 MHz networks but can't connect to them. It was working fine until yesterday but now I can't get it to work. I also have a couple of guests, neither of whom can connect to the wirelesss networks. The router works fine for wired connections (I also have the guest computers connected through a WD Powerline box) and the MAC filter is disabled. It's set for OpenDNS and so used two fixed DNS addresses. I tried resetting and powering down the router.
I welcome any ideas about what might be causing this problem and suggested solutions.

Go to Solution.

Try the following steps:
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page.
# Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
#Adjust the following advanced wireless settings for both 2.4 GHz:
~~ Lower the beacon interval from 100 to 75
~~ Lower the fragmentation threshold from 2346 to 2306
~~ Lower the RTS threshold from 2347 to 2304
Then check the wireless status..

WRT610N Frequently Drops Wireless Connections

Hi,
I have a WRT610N V1 that seems to have wireless issues. It frequently drops all of the wireless connection - not the IP address leases. An then we can't reconnect for some time, even after rebooting both the router and the modem. I just upgraded the firmware and did a full reset, but that didn't work either. Any ideas?

This could be caused by intereference with nearby routers.
Have you tried changing the channel on the router?

My WRT610N has lost wireless connectivity. Any sugestions?

This morning I got up and my wireless was not working on my WRT610N. My desktop and printer that are connected with my Ethernet cables are connected but everything else that is wireless will not connect. I have tried unplugging everything and doing restarts but it doesn't help. Any help please. My warranty expired a few weeks ago.

Your desktop is connected to the router.
Open the Internet browser and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1. Log in to the router setup page.
Go to the wireless tab. Check the wireless network name. Change the channel to 11 and make sure that the SSID broadcast is enabled.
Go to the wireless security sub tab and check the wireless security settings.
Go to Advanced wireless settings. Change the beacon Interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2307, Fragmentation threshold to 2306.
Try to connect to the wireless network and see if that works.
Thanks, but still no luck. Ive tried in both Windows 7 and XP. In W7 i get the "Windows was unable to connect" message. In XP nothing happens it just doesnt connetc. Ive checked the security settings and they are all rigth. Is my router malfunctioning?

Wireless connection HP Photosmart C4780

My HP Photosmart C4780 won't connect to our local wifi network. It was connecting before I did a system reinstall, but now I can't get it to connect and I can't find any connection wizards or settings that allow me to choose a wifi network for it to connect to.
I have it connected to an iMac on MacOS 10.10 via USB. I can print, because the MacOS loads drivers when i add the printer, but when I try to use the original HP drivers and setup wizards, they crash and won't run on my OS.
Please help. This is super frustrating!

Hey @LaneAllison,
Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I understand you're unable to connect your HP Photosmart C4780 All-in-One Printer to your wireless network. I would like to help.
Currently, there is no HP printer driver made for Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite that's compatible with your printer. If the printer was already connected to wireless, you could click here to complete the setup by way of an 'Apple Software Update.'
Since you're effectively lacking in wireless connectivity, there are two ways in which you can re-connect your printer to your network:
Software Setup
The simplest route, if you happen to have another computer (Windows XP up to Windows 8.1) is to connect the printer to that via usb and click here to download the HP Printer Install Wizard. You can use that utility to install the printer via usb and then convert the setup to wireless. With that new wireless connection intact, you'll be able to click here and complete your printer-to-Mac Yosemite connection.
If you don't have a PC available to work with there is another setup option available that might work. Try the following:
Ad-Hoc Network Setup
Access your printer's wireless menu from the front panel
Restore Network Defaults
Next, on your Mac, go into your wireless settings and choose the HP Setup network
Next, open up Safari (or another browser) and type in 192.168.223.1 and hit Enter/Return to access your printer's Embedded Web Server.
From there click on the Networking Tab and then click on the Wireless sub-menu heading
Next, click to run the Wireless Setup Wizard
This will allow you to manually connect to your wireless network. With that connection confirmed, click here to finish your printer setup on the Mac.
Let me know if you run into any issues in either setup method presented above - I'm always happy to help.
Have a great day and thanks again for posting in the HP Support Forum!

WRT610N Lacks Proper "DUAL" band connection

I just bought this WRT610N router 2 days ago and it was working great, both dual band wireless connections were up and running without fail, but today there was a power bump (our power went out for about 2 seconds) and I lost one of the bands when the power came back on, waited, and it still never came back, the media connection is still active and fine. I tried to fix the connection with the LELA software and going into the internet based IP configuration utility but that didnt work, so i decided to revert the router to the default factory settings, press the reset button just in case, and completely reinstall and connect it as if it were out of the box. The setup went well and the setup utility said that all connections were running fine, but the main band is still not working. I am running it wired to a vista desktop computer and trying to connect 3 vista laptops. The main connection shows up briefly in the network connections window in all laptops but not long enough for me to connect. It keeps popping up and then disappearing.....I hope someone here can help me figure out whats wrong and I REALLY hope its not a hardware problem.......please help!

Now are you able to see 2.4GHz Network or the 5GHz network? If you are unable to see 5GHz network on your Computer, This means some configuration settings are missing thats the reason you are unable to find your Wireless Network. Here are some settings which you can set on your Router and i think this might make your wireless network visible to your computer.
This Settings are for your 2.4GHz Network :
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

A small tutorial on wireless connectivity: Input a...

I recently acquired a nokia 5530XM phone and I've been fiddling around with connecting it to the internet wirelessly. Being at university however presented me with a unique challenge. My internet has a wireless network card and is also served internet via a wired network connection, whereas all tutorials I've encountered assume the connection is received by a USB modem. This meant that I could not use internet connection sharing to provide internet to my phone through the computer. This appears to be a feature only supported by server versions of windows. After many hours of experimentation, I came up with the following solution:
Connecting your phone wirelessly to internet through a computer, when that computer receives it's internet through another network connection
For various reasons, you may not have a wireless router to serve the internet connection to your phone, or you may be unable to use one for whatever reason. I will outline some common scenarios:
1) You are at a university or office and have a computer with a wireless connection that receives it's internet through another network connection.
2) You only possess a router that lacks wireless networking capabilities, but have a computer connected to the router with wireless capability.
If this is the case, internet connection sharing WILL NOT work to provide internet to your phone. This requires features available only in the server versions of windows.
This tutorial was executed successfully using a nokia 5530XM, with a computer running windows XP SP3. All that is required from the phone is the ability to connect to an ad hoc windows network and to configure proxy settings.
Firstly, ensure that your computer has two network cards (one wired and one wireless), and you are connected to the internet through the wired connection.
Next, you will need to configure your wireless network adapter. Follow the instructions here to configure your wireless adapter in ad hoc mode. Assign an SSID that is short and easy to remember, In this case I'm using "test". Also ensure that the preferred networks box is BLANK before you start.
Now, pick up your phone and goto settings > connectivity > wireless LAN > other (hidden netw.). Type the SSID of your new ad hoc connection. It should sucessfully connect. Please note that at this time I have been unable to get this to work properly when the network is encrypted. You will have to disable encryption in the wireless network properties dialog.
We can now move on to setting up the proxy server. Download freeproxy from this link (I suggest version 4):
Freeproxy
Install freeproxy and open the control centre. Double click on the top line, it should read "proxy | internet | protocol:..."
A box will pop ups allowing you to change various settings. Change local binding to your wireless network adapter and remote binding to your wired network adapter.
This is also a good time to grab the local IP address of you PC. Note down the IP next to the "local binding" drop down box (mine reads 169.254.97.105). You can check if this works by typing "http://yourlocalip:8080" into a webbrowser. Don't be alarmed about the error it throws up, we're just not talking to the proxy server properly at this time.
If you see a page titled "error report by freeproxy", then congratulations, your proxy server is working!
This is probably the last step. Grab your phone and navigate to settings > connectivity > destinations > internet. Click on your new access point (it should be listed as we connected to it before at the start). Now click on options > advanced options and scroll down to "proxy server address". Type in the local IP you got from freeproxy. In "proxy port number" type 8080.
In order to watch youtube videos, you will need to configure realplayer the same way. Head to applications > realplayer > options > settings > streaming > proxy. Set "use proxy" to yes and configure the two options exactly as before.
Fire up the internet and select a webpage and your network connection (you may have to use "search for WLAN" ). If all is well, you should see the website you wanted to visit. Congratulations, you just configured internet through your PC!
I would appreciate some testing of this, as well as assistance with getting encryption to work properly. Having only had the phone since monday, I'm still not familiar with all its features .

Uday,
We can do it .See the below concept
INPUT.
This key word will only be supported for a limited period (for the sake of compatibility with R/2). Instead, please use FORMAT INPUT (see FORMAT ) or the addition ... INPUT of the WRITE statement.
Ex :
REPORT demo_list_format_input.
WRITE 'Please fill in your name before printing:'.
WRITE / ' Enter name here ' INPUT ON.
ULINE.
WRITE 'You can overwrite the following line:'.
FORMAT INPUT ON INTENSIFIED OFF.
ULINE.
FORMAT INPUT OFF INTENSIFIED ON.
This will work for your requirement.

TC & MBP - complete loss of wireless connection and usage

I apologise in advance if this is a very long winded post! I've been an Apple fan for some 20 years now and it's only in the last three months that my love affair is starting to wane due to (what seems to me) poor hardware releases.
My setup:
1 x PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz with Edimax 802.11n PC Card
1 x MBP 2.4Ghz (purchased April 2008) with AirPort 802.11n
1 x Time Capsule 500Gb
1 x Airport Extreme Base Station Gigabit Ethernet edition
1 x Netgear DG384 v2 (wired only) modem router
1 x standard ADSL connection (8Mbps) from a UK ISP (and yes, 8Mb is about the norm for the UK! Though in reality, it means closer to 4Mb...)
The Netgear router is connected to the ADSL line and is set up as the DHCP server for the network. I have a Fixed IP address from my ISP. The Time Capsule is connected via ethernet to the Netgear router. The TC is set up in Bridge mode as the router serves DHCP. The TC is wall mounted via the excellent AirMount from H-Squared.
The TC has been through a myriad of configurations in an attempt to create a stable wireless environment since its purchase in April. Prior to my recent holiday (two weeks in Greece - hurrah!), the current configuration was solid for both Macs.
The config is: Bridge mode; 2.4Ghz N Only wireless; WPA2 secured; no MAC address access control restrictions (so pretty straightforward). The TC is running firmware 7.3.1. It is setup as "Create a Wireless Network"
Both Macs are running OS X 10.5.3 with all of the latest updates including AirPort Utility 5.3.2.
It took me about six weeks to hit upon this config for the TC having had many wireless drop outs, stalled connections, lost internet connections (ie. I could access the TC HDD but could not access the internet using the same wireless connection). So much frustration in the early days - I tried many of the solutions on this forum but to no avail until I hit upon the 2.4Ghz N Only route which seemed to be the answer to all my problems.
Prior to leaving on holiday, I unplugged all of the equipment in the room including the TC and the router. When I returned, I restarted everything in a logical sequence - router first (and waited for a connection), then the TC and then the Macs.
From this point on the problems have started. The PB G4 with the wireless card has a more or less stable connection. The wireless card connects immediately to the TC but then it takes approximately 30-60 seconds for an internet connection to work (so I see a lot of the Not connected to the internet messages in Safari). It seems to immediately get an IP address from the router via the TC but then the internet connection itself takes a while to come up.
The MPB on the other hand is a nightmare. Since returning from holiday I have not been able to get a workable wireless connection at all. In no particular order, the problems that the MBP exhibits are as follows (these can occur at the same time or individually):
i) only returns a self-assigned IP address; renewing the DHCP lease does not fix the problem
ii) does not see the network at all (although it will see others in the vicinity)
iii) cannot connect to the network - returns the Connection Timeout error or very occasionally the Password Incorrect error; I have tried connecting the network via the AirPort menu bar item, via Join another network... from the menu bar, via the Network selection menu in System Preferences > Network and even via Internet Connect - all with no success
iv) sometimes I am able to connect to the network but no IP address is received. Having checked the TC logs, it shows the same error occurring over and over again:
Jun 26 22:06:04 Severity:5 Associated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Deauthenticating with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c (reserved 2).
Jun 26 22:06:07 Severity:5 Disassociated with station 00:1e:c2:ba:78:6c
The MBP connects but is immediately thrown off the network.
So to all intents and purposes, the wireless aspect of the MBP and the TC are completely useless.
When I use a wired (ethernet) connection to the TC everything is joyful. Instant IP address assignment, excellent connection speeds, no drop outs and so on. So as far as I can ascertain, the TC is working fine with the exception of the wireless/wireless security.
The AEBSn that is connected to the same network no longer appears in Airport Utility.
Having read through many posts here, I have tried many solutions including:
- downgrading the FW to 7.3; no difference at all
- turning off wireless security; no difference at all
- changing channels; I've tried 1, 6, 9, 11 and 13 with no difference at all
- changing the wireless mode; B/G, G only, N only all make no difference (I can't use 5Ghz N only as the PB G4 does not support this and I need both Macs wirelessly connected)
- rebooting the TC (both via Airport Utility and 'power off'); makes no difference
- reinstalled OS X 10.5.1 (via the install disks that came with the MBP) using the Archive & Install feature; then used the Combo updater to upgrade directly to 10.5.3; once again, no difference.
I have not yet done a hard reset as this has made no difference in the past but obviously I will try it.
In other words, HELP!
I am stymied. I have tried so many solutions offered on here and on the likes of MacFixIt and other Mac forums none of which have brought back my wireless connection for the MBP.
The MBP works very well with other wireless connection. For example, at work, we have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router connected to a BT leased line. I have not had a single connection issue for three months with this setup. Similarly, whilst on holiday, I used many different hot spots and had no issues with the wireless connection. All of this evidence leads me to suspect that the MBP is not the issue.
From what I can tell, the problem seems to be in the wireless security on the TC. It seems to prevent access by MBP (though not the PB G4 using a wireless card) but disabling security did not change the error messages shown in the log or the lack of connectivity.
It is a real shame that I cannot get a satisfactory working environment with the TC as the concept is great. The reality is, however, that it is unusable in its current condition and loathe as I am to try and return it or replace it, I am rapidly coming the conclusion I will have to.
Before I do, however, I am hoping that the genii who exist on these forums may be able to proffer some ideas or solutions that I haven't yet tried.
My sincere thanks will go to anyone who provides a solution for me. There may even be beer involved as a mark of gratitude!!
Thanks for reading and fingers crossed someone knows something special...

Smokerz: thanks for the reply and the advice. Not really in a position to set up a dual network at the moment due to the positioning of the TC and the AEBS but if I get an opportunity to try it I will.
I have temporarily given up with the TC as the router for the wireless network. I've installed a Vigor 2820n modem router (it's the only one I could find that has a Gigabit port - only one though) as well being a modem (ADSL) router. Thus far, everything seems fine - although I have had a couple of drop outs due (I think) the AirPort connection on the MBP. And interestingly, I've set up the TC as a "test" wireless network using the Vigor's internet connection and it's way more stable than with the Netgear router. So perhaps it's a combination of many factors - the poor Netgear router, the TC and the MBP AirPort connection - that was causing the issues.
I'll give 10.5.4 a go as well and see if that helps at all.
Thanks to all who read the question - if anyone else has thoughts I'd be delighted to hear them.

Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.

Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.
Bought my girlfriend the newest Macbook Pro 13" and began experiencing problems with my wifi the moment we got home. Her Macbook would not connect to our home Wi-Fi while my old Macbook Late 2008 running Snow Leopard connected without a problem. Airport would say that it had a Self-Assigned IP address (168.x.x.x). Did not realize it was a Lion problem until after using her Macbook Pro and becoming jealous of the new OSX, I upgraded. Soon after I was unable to go online. Luckily I had my iPad 2 and I began to scoure the net for help. Ran into allot of suggestions but it was not until I tried the following all together was I able to share the good new, from my Macbook. Hope this works:
First go to Preferences > Network and click on the cog next to the + and - on the sidebar and click Set Service Order
     - Move Wi-Fi to the top and click ok.
     - Set location to Automatic
     - Click Apply
     - Click Advanced
     - Click the "-" on the selected Wi-Fi router you wish to connect to
     - Click Apply
     - Click Lock to Prevent Further Changes
Go to your Mac's harddrive, (Macintosh)
     - Go to Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration >
     - Delete "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" file
Turn off your computer
     - push and hold Option+Command+R+P
     - turn on computer
     - when the grey screen turns on you will hear the OS X "ON" sound (for lack of a proper term) and it will momentarily restart.
     - you will once again hear the "ON" sound, let go of all keys.
     - this resets your PRAM
Go to Preferences > Network > Advanced > + sign
     - click Choose a Network
     - Select your network and enter password
Viola!!! I tried this on my Macbook Late 2008 and my girlfriends new Macbook Pro 2010

     No you are clearly mistaken. The Self-Assigned IP address problem exists on many Macbook Pro models, including the current model, which I mentioned as being the original computer with the problem. While my 2008 Macbook is older it was working perfectly on Snow Leopard and didn't suffer issues until switching to Lion. So clearly the problem exists on the operating system and not so much the hardware.
     I called Apple Support and they had no fix for the problem and told me that this would hopefully be addressed in a subsequent update. It wasn't until I came accross the answer after trying many different methods that I got both of the Macbooks to connect to my router. Otherwise I wouldn't or could not have been surfing the internet for the last 4 months.
Cheers.

WRT610 wireless connection quit working

I just bought and installed a WRT610N for my wireless network. I have 5 laptops and a desktop running various OS, such as WXP, Vista Home, Vista Ult., etc. Also have a range expander. Everything was working last night. All with the same SSID's, all using the wireless WPA. Range expander was working Blue, Blue. Router was setup in default mode (Wi-Fi protected). This morning, the range expander was Red, Blue, and none of my wireless connections worked. I finally uninstalled the 610 setup software, reset, bebooted, you name it, and I still cannot get any wireless connection. I have wired connection, obviously, as I am writing this. I've about had it. Any thoughts here? Something I may be missing?

I am afriad, WRT610N is not compatible with WRE54G Range Expander...I wonder how both worked together...

Losing wireless connection with Time Capsule

Hi,
Yesterday I purchased a 500GB Dual Band/Guest Networking Time Capsule (the newest model). The TC set up properly - I have it set up to join my wireless network and share my external HD - but during backups or streaming media from the external HD, it loses the wireless connection and stops. At this point, the TC is no longer viewable in the AirPort Utility and I have to reboot it.
I've read other articles and threads stating that downgrading to the 7.3.2 firmware version will correct problems like this, but because mine is a newer TC version, I can't do this (7.4.0 is the earliest available). Is there any way to solve the constant wireless connection loss?

Leask, welcome to the discussions!
The problems that you are experiencing are likely a combination of signal strength and interference from other networks and possibly cordless phones. You will need to experiment to find the best settings for your environment as there are no set rules or fixes for any given situation.
Assuming that security settings are compatible within a network, good wireless performance depends on two main factors: adequate signal strength and lack of interference from outside sources and other networks.
Download iStumbler, www.istumbler.net, to get a look at your wireless network. The application will show you the signal strength of your network (and noise).
If you have a laptop, move around your house to see how the signal strength at various points changes. If you find an area where the signal strength really starts to fall off rapidly, you either need to move your device closer to the broadcast point or consider purchasing an AirPort Express to "extend" the broadcast power of the Time Capsule.
The signal strength indicator on your computer(s) or iPhone is generally not a very good indicator of the actual signal strength on your network.
Perhaps more importantly, see if there are other networks in your area and identify what channels they are operating on. This is a primary source of interference in addition to cordless phones, microwave ovens, and some security cameras.
If you find that there are other networks using the same channel or an adjacent channel as your network, use AirPort Utility to change the channel that Time Capsule is broadcasting on to another channel that is as far away from other channels as possible. This may be very difficult if you live in an area crowded with other networks.
There are also features on many new wireless routers that enable a user to "hide" the network name, so it is possible that there are other wireless networks causing interference that you cannot identify.
Your Time Capsule is capable of broadcasting a wireless signal at 5GHz, much higher than the normal crowded 2.4GHz networks. But, I'm not sure if your computer(s) are compatible with this setting. Wouldn't hurt to give this a try. A number of users have found that they have much less difficulty on the higher band since it is (for now) much less crowded.
Please post back on your progress.

Often lose wireless connection when using HDTV as monitor

I have an unusual wireless networking problem when using my Samsung HDTV in my living room as a monitor for my MacBook (when watching Internet TV shows, for example). Frequently when I switch URLs, networking freezes, even though the connection appears strong, with the Airport symbol at the top of my screen showing all bars. To re-establish the wireless connection, I have to go through the process of re-joining my network through the “Join Other Network" option. The signal holds as long as I don’t try to change it, as in selecting another URL.
I connect to my HDTV via HDMI cable, using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter from my Macbook’s video-out port. The audio connection is a mini-plug from the Mac’s headphone out jack to stereo RCA plugs associated with the TV’s HDMI port.
The wireless connection is through a Lynksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz, 54 Mpbs Broadband router.
I’d appreciate any solutions the Apple user community has to offer.

I'd say this has nothing to do with your display. The problem will likely lie in either your router settings, network settings or a simple signal strength issue. Try first changing the broadcast channel on your router, and make sure all settings are correct for your desired network.

Can't configure Wireless Connection to HP OfficeJet Pro L7780

I recently purchased both my iMac 24" 2.8GHz computer with OS x 10.5.2 and HP OfficeJet Pro L7780. I was able to use the HP setup CDs for my Windows laptops and configured them to use the printer in a wireless configuration.
The iMac is creating the headache (actually I think it's HP causing the headache). When I try to install HP's driver 9.7.1 using their utility, it is unable to detect the L7780 in a wireless configuration. The moment I connect via USB or wired Ethernet, the printer is detected without a problem. My printer is located @ 192.168.1.30, fixed IP address via a NetGear FSW308 switch. My iMac is fixed @ 192.168.1.100 and the gateway is 192.168.1.1
I spent hours on the phone with HP support and am still in the same spot... HP software won't find the printer when it is wireless. I can configure OS x 10.5.2 to use the internal L7700 series driver and put the IP address in the dialog box. The printer prints without issue using the OS printer drivers, but the other features such as scan and fax will not work without the HP software.
I can ping the printer and I can connect to the printer's EWS, but the HP software will not find the software.
Overall config: iMac wireless network connection to switch; Printer also wireless connection to switch.
So far HP is dumbfounded and all they can say is that I should call Apple because the printer software works fine when I connect the Ethernet or USB cables.
HELP!
Thanks,
Roland

Thank you for the thought. Yes, although my SSID is public, I have a WEP 128-bit security key. The printer, the iMac and my Windows laptops all connect to the wireless network without issue, as evidenced by my Windows laptops and iMac (if I use the driver included with OS X 10.5.2).
I can ping the printer from the iMac as well as connect to the printer's web interface, so connectivity exists. It is as if the setup software or the printer are trying to communicate using a port that or service that OS X may be blocking.
My OS X firewall is configured to accept all connections though... so that shouldn't be the issue unless there is a bug in accepting all connections.
Thanks,
Roland

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

Wireless connection not working after installed newest Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update programs

Hi, everyone!
I've installed some newest programs through Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update and just after that my wireless connection has stopped working. Here are the installed programs:
ThinkPad UltraNav Driver for Windows 32-bit version 15.0.24.0;
ThinkPad Power Management Driver version 1.60;
ThinkPad Modem Adapter version 7.80.8.0;
ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration Package Setup version 3.11.0001;
Inter Wireless WiFi Link for Window XP version 13.02.0000;
ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows XP version 5.62;
ThinkPad Power Manager version 1.88;
Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox (32-bit) version 6.0.5514.61.
I've got a Lenovo T61 with Windows XP SP3.
Also in Device Manager, there are now the two "Other devices" bellow with a yellow question point and a yellow exclamation point by side:
Bluetooth Hands-free Audio;
Bluetooth LAN Access Server Driver.
Does anyone have any idea what can be done to have these issues solved?
P.S.: when I click Fn+F5 it shows only the Bluetooth Radio.

Hello and welcome,
I've seen something like this on XP machines after updates a couple of times now - my T61, a friend's T400, and his daughter's T61. I guess that makes 3
_Maybe_ your situation is the same.
The fix in all 3 cases was to go to device manager and uninstall the wifi driver. Then scan for hardware changes and let it reinstall the driver. Something about how Access Connections or some other networking mangement thingy was hooking the drivers I guess.
On both of the friend's machines, the wired networking was also b0rked. Same fix there.

My hp top shot laserjet pro m275 cannot find my wireless connection

Hi there,
my printer cannot find any wireless connection available.
and the blue light on the wifi icon is blinking.
how do I solve this problem so i can print again?

The blue wireless light flashing means you are not connected to your routers SSID. You need to go back and connect to your routers SSID with it's password to get the light on solid.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.
If my post resolved your problem, please mark it as an Accepted Solution ...
I worked for HP but now I'm retired!
