From a Wi - FI to Ethernet connection to a Wi - Fi connection - automatically...

BACKGROUND:

1. did you just replaced my cable modem

2. have you implemented Airport utility again for my router (Airport Extreme 6gen c. 7.7.7) with its intact previous settings

2. have made no changes to the configurations of system/network preferences

QUESTION:

Now unable to move automatically from the WiFi to Ethernet and the WiFi - like I did before !


More precisely...

If I'm wireless online and then connect LAN port of my router (gen6 Airport Extreme) to my MacBookPro (OSX 10.11.5) with ethernet cable - I stay online when I click on the different links.

However, when I unplug the ethernet cable - instead of automatically - return back to the Wi - Fi - I woke up completely offline.

And I am unable to re-establish a connection constantly computer completely - and then turning it back on.

In other words - I'm able to get the WiFi to Ethernet without problem - but don't back switch back to WiFi after having disconnected the ethernet cable

By clicking on the WiFi, WiFi off icon in the menu bar of the computer does not resolve the problem

On my computer, system preferences > network is configured as follows:

Location: automatic

Left column has WiFi at the top, followed by Ethernet, Firewire, iPhoneUSB, Bluetooth PAN

SOLUTION?

Bottom line - exactly should I be doing to move seamlessly from wireless to wired and wireless - without having to close and restart the computer then again?

The item up in the list will be internet primary when something is available.

So as you want Ethernet to resume when it is connected, it should be on top in the list.

However, I'm not sure why you see the problem you do.

  • WiFi for computer laptop HP ENVY 15 and Ethernet connection problem

    Hi, a few months ago, I brought a HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC running windows 8.1. It is connected to my wifi with Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wi - Fi adapter. My modem is a Technicolour TG582n 2 Wireless ADSL + with wireless 802.11 b/g/n compatible.

    As soon as I got there I noticed a problem of internet where I would be able to connect to my home WiFi network and get full reception bars but would have a hard time to access Web sites on web browsers such as chrome, mozilla and internet explore pages takes some time to load and eventually reached a page "this webpage is not available" (for chrome). This problem seems to occur only with my home network as it can connect to public wifi and my wifi friends and yet I have many other devices such as laptops and other smartphones connected to my wifi that did not at all have poblems with internet and it just seems to be mine. When I connect via ethernet I get good connection for about 10 minutes and then I was completely cut off. However, I can upload a file via the wifi ok if I can get it to start and I can play a game online well enough but often disconnected after an hour or two.

    I checked for new updates of pilot, but they seem to be up to date and im do not manually downloading and installing one on the hp site but I tried (I did probably wrong). I ran the diagnostic function, but it cannot detect all problems. I looked around the internet as well, but still havn't found a solution.

    Also I got the laptop sent back and received a new but the same problem persisted and as I walked through the process of the person I was talking to a admitted that I had a problem like they remote limited from my laptop for a little for the access problem.

    Please help, I've had this problem for a month or two now and is really becoming a problem since I use my laptop computer for purposes of requiring home internet work.

    Thanks in advance and I hope you guys can help!

  • Ethernet connection problems

    I just bought a Tablet from Lenovo TAB 2 10 - 30 and found that I can not get connected to the Internet because of problems with the power of the signal from my router. I have been using a PC for the year that I connect to the same router via an Ethernet cable, and it works very well, so I thought that I would just connect my Tablet Lenove in the same way. I have now bought a new cable (very long) Ethernet and mini-USB adapter, so it will connect on the Lenove tablet, I can get the * beep * thing to work. When I go into the settings, everything I see under "wireless network & ' is WLAN, but doen't seem to be an option to set up or recognize the Ethernet cable I connected on the tablet. Does anyone know how to get this tablet to connect to Internet with my Ethernet cable?

    Another point: I'm sure the first time I ever took the Tablet out of his box and he started, I saw an option for WLAN network or LTE. I guess (maybe), I need LTE option to establish an Ethernet connection (although I could esily be wrong about that), only this option LTE has completely disappeared off the coast of the machine. Or if it's there, I don't know how to access.

    Thanks Dave

    Yes, after some other investigation looks this tablet can not connect via Ethernet cable after all.

    Fortunately I managed to pick up a singnal Wi - Fi, so I think I'll be able to connect to the web in this way after all.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello @Hmonk the printer has two ways to be connected but we really recommend use one at a time if you are going to perform a network first installation you want to make sure that you have an IP address from the printer connect the network cable to the printer room will get internet brand of course, on the port on the back of the printer when you have connected cable has a green and the orange light and then go to the menu reports on the printer and print a configuration report right on the 1st page under product settings, you will find IPV4 you must subsequently make the installation at this time where everything you want to make sure, is that the IP address of its different then 0.0.0.0 or 169.254.XXX.XXX since these combinations indicates that the printer its does not properly connect to the network

    Is equivalent to a DSL ethernet connection or better ethernet internet connection called DSL connection?

    Hi Ken once again,

    I'm sorry, I'm always clear that this question can reanswer again? Is not wired and not the RJ-45 connection.

    What type of internet connection they call when you connect to the internet using a * connection cable *?

    I'll try again and hope that you understand this time.
    You connect to the internet via a modem, * not * a cable of any kind.
    The modem connects to the internet in several ways; both
    the most common ways are by using an RJ-11 cable (it is a standard phone
    cable and is used for dial-up or DSL) or a cable TELEVISION cable
    (it's just like the one you use to connect your TV if
    "you have cable). This internet connection as the modem
    connects to is usually a wall outlet.

    You must connect to your modem. If you are the only computer on
    your site to connect to the internet, you can connect directly to the
    modem.
    If you have two or more computers that connect to the internet, they
    normally connect to a router and the modem is connected on the
    router (but with some routers, the modem is built in it, so a
    separate modem should not be connected). Normally, you connect to
    the modem/router using an ethernet (RJ-45) cable.

    Here is therefore a raw image of a default installation (the dotted lines are
    cables):

    Computer 1-------.
    \
    \---
    Router - Modem - Internet (DSL, dial-up, cable TV)
    Computer 2-
    Note that the lines (cables) on both computers to the router are
    RJ-45, but they are generally * not * the internet connection and they
    are not, which makes the internet more quickly or more slowly. The internet
    connection is the last dotted on the right line. From
    the Modem to DSL, dial-up, or TELEVISION outlet cable (usually a wall)
    socket) is the internet connection, and is the type of cable, it is
    any form of internet service you have (and what outlet
    "you have to the internet connection).

  • VISTA: cannot use my Ethernet connection

    I use Thinkpad X 200 under Vista 32 bit, my ethernet card is Intel 82567LM.

    I connect OK for wireless network, have never tried to connect to an ethernet connection before with this laptop. But when I did, it doesn't.

    What tests I've done:

    (1) manage the connection: connection to the LAN - State is 'ENABLED' (sorry I translate this from a Chinese OS, don't know if it's the right terminology, CONNECTED or DISCONNECTED)
    -Right-click and enter in the properties-> IPv4 is checked, and in properties, all is get automatically
    -Diagnose this connection-> he says "does not correctly configured to use the IP Protocol, please make sure that IP is correct" (translated)

    (2) I go into Device Manager and find the ethernet card and update the driver to the latest version. Uninstall the driver and let Windows reinstall it at startup-> still no luck.

    (3) IPCONFIG-> shows only TWO (should not be a?) Wireless WiFi and a Tunnel to the map (?) and ETHERNET adapter WITHOUT connecting to the LAN (VERY STRANGE).

    (4) when the ethernet cable is plugged in, the lights are on, so the port and the line must be good.

    Could someone please help? Thank you! I'm really at the end of my intelligence...

    Hi Cody,

    Thanks for your suggestion. Appreciated! It is portable to my friend, and after tried so methods and still not, she gave to solve to get a router to convert the wired connection to a wireless. Now she's happy with the connection that it becomes.

    I guess I won't have a chance to try your suggestion a while later... Thanks anyway!

  • Ethernet connection in the back of a HP Officejet Pro 8500

    When I bought my printer 3 years ago, I NEVER thought that I would need a printer capable of wifi.  Surprise!

    I thought I had read that you could buy wifi adapters to allow a wifi component.  Made a few calls and told me that there is no such thing.

    A salesman asked if my 8500 had an Ethernet connection on the back.  I didn't, but when I got home, it is there, just at the edge of the printer, "Ethernet".  According to the seller at OfficeMax, I can connect an Ethernet cable from the printer to my router and which would allow me to use the printer with my laptop and the Droid Razr.  Yes?

    So I just have to run a cable from the printer to the router and follow (I hope) on the orientation of the screen?

    I know I have to download a printer on my phone app.

    I have I am on the right track PATH out of it?

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Monica

    Yes, the connection to the network cable would allow you to print from your PC and phone (with an appropriate application).  After connecting search for a program under Start, all programs, HP, HP Officejet Pro 8500 and search for the file "printer setup".  Run this and select "add a new printer.

  • Missing ethernet connection presario sr2125 uk.

    Hello, I've read through many posts here and elsewhere but can't seem to find an answer to my problem so my apologies in advance if this is seeming repetitive

    First of all, my PC is a Compaq Presario SR2125 UK.

    I recently added memory to substitute the original 2 x 512 with cards memory 4 x 1 GB. It is the only "tinkering" I did it to make it a non tech type person. Other than that, it is like it is out of the box and several years of general household use.

    My problem is that last night during a storm, we had a power failure of nature that lasts several hours and when we arrived finally be able to come back, I couldn't connect to the internet.

    The PC is on a wired connection directly from the rear via an ethernet cable in the BT Home Hub. Other devices can connect wireless to the hub, and once I had found an old Belkin Wireless adapter can this pc.  Having finally got online I spent hours reading without result.

    My pc is clean as a whistle according to Norton full scan and MBAM. It seems fair that my adapter has completely disappeared from the Device Manager, I checked in all the devices section hidden... everything. If my thought is that this little piece of kit got fried in the storm.  How it happened is beyond me given the "charge" should have go through the (?) surely first router, seemingly unharmed. My questions are...

    How to run again? or

    How can I replace it, if indeed it isreplaceable? That is, where should I look for a code of possible room or something to allow me to buy a new one, if I can

    The only other thing I can think to tell you is that I tried another ethernet cable, another Jack on the back of the hub and to tell you there is always a light at the back of pc Tower, place where the ethernet cable is plugged in.

    Really not sure what is relevant information that could shed light. Any help much appreciated even if it's just to tell me he didn't that can do anything!

    I would like to start by erasing the BIOS settings. Don't forget to unplug the machine off before doing so. The instructions are at the bottom of page HERE

    If it does not detect your ethernet, it may well have been zapped by the incident. It's a chip on the motherboard so no way to replace directly. You can add a real PCI network easily, it simply plugs into a slot in a similar way the memory. Most stores that sell computers and accessories include network cards. Just be sure to specify that you need a PCI_not the last type of PCI - E.
