Install - not connect to existing wireless

Hi all

I have a couple of Airport Express' that I used to just listen to music to use Airplay.    These are the older devices and I hadn't used for a while (been sitting in a drawer for a few years), but decided to allow them to use again.

I did a reset on each apparatus and connected to my Mac.  Using Airport utility, I connected to the device, but I don't see the option to add to my existing wireless network.  I see that they have updated this app since I modified it used.

There is an option to "extend" my network, but I don't think that that's what I want, as I'm not a network Airport Express... I want to just listen to music to it.

Advice on where this option to add an existing wireless network went?

If your network is provided by another router from Apple, you'll see an option to "extend a network."  Apple assumes that it is what you want to do.

Go ahead and implement the Express to 'extend '.  Then, if you don't want to do that, you can go back using AirPort Utility and change the settings for the network of 'Extend' Mode to 'register '.  Under 'Join', the AirPort Express will provide additional wireless network coverage.

If your network is not granted by another router from Apple, go ahead and start the Installer "Wizard", and then click More Options to see the option 'Add '.

The 'Expand' and 'Add' assume that the AirPort Express will use a wireless connection to join the network.

  • Satellite Pro c660 does not connect to another wireless after format

    Hey all,.

    I have a Satellite Pro c660 and bought a copy of windows 64 bit with him - the laptop come with many software from toshiba on what I wanted really, I therefore installed windows 64 bit (fitness in the process).

    After the Installation I had some problems connecting to my wireless home (he was missing drivers, but have now install) but finally got it works.

    After having taken it round my friends last night, I could not connect to its wireless - the password has been good and I could see the network, but he just kept constantly defect - its network was on it, because his cell phone he was performing. -The only difference between its network and the spirit (that I can see), it's that she was using the TKIP encryption to connect, while I was using AES (my network card is Atheros). -Even when I tried to configure a network profile and have it automatically connect (using the same information she used, including the TKIP encryption) - it was always not.

    The ideas people? More missing drivers?

    PS - I really don't want all that toshiba nanny software on the laptop.

    Thanks in advance!

    > Any ideas people? More missing drivers?

    If you can see the Wlan network then it means that the WiFi adapter driver is correctly installed and the problem is between the router configuration problems WiFi and wireless network card.

    Are you abele to connect to other networks wireless at home?

    Please disable encryption settings in the Wlan router and try to connect to the Wlan that is unprotected.
    But note; This must be done only for testing purposes!

    You should also check if the MAC address filtering is disabled in the settings of the router.

    Hi Virginia,

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

    After the description of the problem, I understand that you can not connect to a wireless network on windows vista computer.

    I appreciate your efforts on this issue, however no need for you to worry we are here to help and guide you in the right direction.

    Help me with the information below.

    -Don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you to disable temporarily security software and then check if you are able to connect.

    Method 1

    You can also temporarily disable the security software and check if it works.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    If disabling the security software solves the problem, then contact the manufacturer of the specific security software to fix the problem.

    Important: These steps may increase your security risk. These steps may also make the computer or the network more vulnerable to attack from malicious users or malicious software such as viruses. We recommend the process that this article describes to enable programs to operate as they are designed for, or to implement specific program features. Before you make these changes, we recommend that you evaluate the risks that are associated with implementing this process in your particular environment. If you decide to implement this process, take additional measures to protect the system. We recommend that you use this process only if you really need this process.

    Method 2

    Reset the router and see if that helps.

    Note: to help you reset the router, you can consult the manual that came with the router or the router contact manufacturer.

    I got this HP printer for a while and it worked fine.  Our old router is out and we had to get a new one.  Installed perfectly and printer continued to work properly.  The password for the router was ridiculous, that's why I changed it to something much more simple to remember.  Since then, my printer will not connect to wireless internet.  I have a ~ and reinstalled the printer but still have the same problem.  I thought maybe to try the former password would, but who does not work either.

    Anyone has any ideas that might help before chuck it and go and get a new one altogether?

    Thank you.

    Easy things first.  Turn off the router and the printer.  Turn on the router and wait 3 minutes.  Turn on the printer and see if it connects to your router.  Status?

    If no joy, temporarily disable all security in the router.  Now try to connect the printer to your SSID not guaranteed without password.  Status now?

    If OK, go back and add WPA2-AES with your simple password.  Status now?

My computer allows me to plug in an ethernet cable and the router and use the internet like that. I know it's not the router because I use the internet on my iPhone and tablet. When I try to connect to the internet, it has a red X where the wireless icon used to be, now the icon looks like a computer instead monitor the small bars.

  • CQ60-210US reformatted for Windows XP Prof, but it does not connect to the wireless network...

    Long story short, I tried recently to "downgrade" my husband computer CQ60-210US laptop from Vista to XP.  I followed the very detailed guide posted here and everything seems to work great but my computer does NOT connect to my home network.  It comes as an available network, but when I try to connect it goes on to say that the network is no longer available - is yet to ask security key.  I tried to click on the connection to a neighbor to see what would happen and it seems to go further (it asks me the security key).  I can connect directly using the ethernet to the modem cable.

    This laptop was initially working on my network wirelessly with Vista.  I use a CLEAR 4 G wireless modem.  The signal from the modem is good.

    Can anyone help me identify the problem and propose a solution?  Everything else seems to work well.

    Thank you very much!

  • LaserJet P1102W: [RESOLVED] LaserJet P1102W does not connect to a wireless network on Mac

    UPDATE: the below solution worked on my MacBook, both running El Capitan. Ignore the instructions provided in the manual of the P1102W and follow the steps below.

    I have a P1102W printer.

    Recently my LaserJet P1102W refuses to connect to networks using WPA Wireless.

    As it does not have an IP address, I can't access the web server.

    She also does not connect to my Mac Wireless via Bonjour. The printer will install when connected via USB.

    I installed printer HP Apple drivers, that contains the P1100 driver.

    The P1102W worked before wireless. I only noticed this anomaly since installation El Capitan and moving the printer to another room with my workstation.

    I need the printer to use the wireless network, as I did not have enough space on my desk for him. And I just can't place it anywhere within the range of a USB cable.

    Are there alternatives to this?

    Hi @rcosgrove,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you encounter some problems connecting your Laserjet P1102w printer to your network wireless using your Mac computer. I can help you with that.

    First of all, I would like to mention that it would be easier to the printer connected to your network using a Windows PC. If you can't borrow or use a Windows PC, the following steps should allow you to connect the printer. If you can borrow a PC, please let me know what version of Windows and I can provide a link to the drivers to configure the printer automatically.

    Preparation of the printer

    1. Turn the printer off.
    2. While the printer is turned off, hold down the two buttons on top of the printer.
    3. Hold the buttons on top of the printer and the printer.
    4. Hold down the maintained for even 10 seconds.

    Wireless printer setting

    1. Make sure that the printer is connected to your Mac via the USB cable.
    2. Click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
    3. Click the icon of your printer on the left.
    4. Click Open print queue, printer installation, utility of printer, open printer and HTML Config utility.
    5. (If the above step generates an error, change your default browser on Safari. Please let me know if you need assistance with that).
    6. In this new window, click on the networking and wireless tab on the left.
    7. Under Mode of Communication, select Infrastructure.
    8. Select your network from the list and then click on the button with the arrows.
    9. Under Security Mode, select WPA/WPA 2. If you have an old router, you may need to select WEP instead.
    10. Enter your password wireless in the field below.
    11. Click on apply.

    Now, wait a few minutes. Your printer must change to have a solid blue light. If it is not the case, either the password has been entered incorrectly or there is a setting on the router that the printer is having a resolution of the issue. Please let me know if this is the case.

    Once you have a solid blue light:

    1. Unplug the USB cable.
    2. Return to the printers and Scanners.
    3. Hold down the CTRL key and click the icon of the printer on the left.
    4. Click on reset printing system.
    5. Click on the button "+" in the lower left corner.
    6. In this window, select your printer in the list.
    7. Click in the box next to and select your printer from the list.
    8. Click on Add.

    Please let me know if you are able of print or the results after following the above. If you can print, click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

    I hope this information is useful. Please reply to this message with the results. Good luck!

  • IPad mini is not connect to Wifi wireless

    Mini Wireless iPad (iOS 9.3.5) does not connect to the wifi at home but for printer and android phone will be. Have you all on iPad and mydlink router resets.

    Action taken:

    WiFi connected in Apple store - Rep suggested that make a backup and then restore iPad at home.

    Results:

    Can not stop to find my iPad / "check failed: there was an error connecting to server Apple ID.

    Several attempts, the problem persists.

    Looking for suggestions.

    Hi RubyBlu,

    I see you're posting here because your iPad mini Apple Support communities is having problems to connect to your home Wi - Fi network. You talked about since someone at the Apple Store that you said to try to restore your device using iTunes, but you can't not to disable find my iPad to be able to do. I know it's important to be able to connect to the Wi - Fi at home, and I'm happy to help with this.

    As a first step, I recommend take a look on this website and perform these steps in the order, if you have not tried them already:

    If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch connects to a Wi - Fi - Apple Support network

    If you are still looking to restore your device to factory settings, I'd recommend double-checking to make sure that you have a current backup of first. This is a resource for that if you need a refresher on how to create a back up:
    The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch - Apple Support

    Before you can restore your iPad, you need to follow the instructions here to disable find it my function for your iPad:

    Delete a Mac or iOS device on which you can not disable Find My iPhone

    If you can't disable find my iPhone on the device, turn off the unit so it will Disconnect, then remove of Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.

    Note: You can also delete your iOS device by clearing the first - just follow the instructions below to remove an iOS device, you do not have. You can later restore the device of an iCloud or iTunes backup.

    1. Turn off the device you want to remove.

    2. Go to find my iPhone on iCloud.com.

      If you don't find my iPhone on iCloud.com, your account has fair access to the web features only iCloud. To access find my iPhone and other iCloud features, set up on your device iOS or Mac iCloud.

    3. Click on all devices, select the device offline, then click on delete account.

      If you don't see a delete account, click again on all devices, and then click the Delete button next to the device.

      If the device comes online again, it reappears in find my iPhone. If your device again, turn off find my iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above to remove a device by disabling Find My iPhone), or if it is an iOS device and you no longer, follow the instructions below to remove an iOS device, you no longer have.

    iCloud: remove your device, Find My iPhone

    When you have selected "Delete account", you should be able to restore the device normally using iTunes.

    Take care!

  • HP 7520: HP 7520 will not connect to the wireless network

    There is some additional information to

    http://forums.Xfinity.com/T5/home-networking-router-WiFi/HP-7520-will-not-connect-to-wireless-networ...

    on this issue.

    Have several APs for a single wireless network allows the printer foolish law.  (Not a Repeater, a second AP connected to the local network with the same configuration of network for security, etc.).

    I solved this problem.  In accordance with the discussion on the link, the problem is that the printer cannot connect to a wireless network if there is greater than 1 for a wireless network (SSID) name wireless access point.

    This thread has had several useful suggestions, but what finally solved the problem, it's the second point has access to a mode where I can create a 'virtual' access point and, above all, a SSID associated.

    Note that not all access points or routers support virtual APs, but this function seems to be more common over time.  Older models is not able to do that.  However, a new access point is sometimes cheaper than a new printer.

    If you do not understand the jargon in the procedure below, I recommend that you find someone who does, then they can do it for you.

    Solution:

    1. On one of the wireless access on the network, create an a new virtual AP with a slightly different name SSID (for example < name of the network - > _1), on the same VLAN (usually VLAN 1).  You may need to put the AP in "multiple AP mode" or something similar, and then restart the AP.  All other settings (DHCP, security, mixed mode b/g/n, etc.) must be the same for the new SSID.
    2. Run the printer Wireless Setup and connect it to this new SSID
    3. Confirm that the printer can be seen by other devices on the network

    Tips:

    • Check the security is the same as the original SSID, Alternatively you can create a vector of insecurity in your network.  Do not WEP-128 when the other SSID uses WPA2 AES, for example.
    • The AP I had had several resets to make it work because of the mode and parameter changes.
    • If you connect the SSID but cannot connect to or be seen by anything on your network, check the new SSID/AP is in the same VLAN as the original.
    • Because the printer is not roaming, and the speed is not a problem for me, I used the access point that could support this solution, which is deeper and slower than my primary AP.  I have not noticed any problems.

    The printer has been reliable on the wireless now on the new SSID, 48 hours.

    I have not upgraded any software on a client of the printer (PC, Mac, phones).

    I think that it is a positive confirmation that the problem is with the implementation of the printer of the stack of network and not with the driver or client software on remote devices.  The 802.11 protocols provide for a network name (SSID) wireless with several access points using different MAC addresses.  I suggest this HP look into this as a potential bug with their network printer for the 7520 protocols stack.
