iPad Air2, Wi - Fi and MAC filtering

Two other iPads in the House and my iPad Air2 keep disconnecting my wireless router when I turn MAC filtering AND broadcast THAT SSID is disabled. I can't even manually connect to the router, but when I turn one of these functions, or both, the device will automatically reconnect.  I have a router Linksys WRT of Dual-band 1900AC. I have not had this problem with my previous NetGear router. Does anyone know of a solution?

Before ask you, yes the MAC addresses of my devices are entered into the router. Also, I realize that MAC filtering is not a security measure. It is not my purpose for its use.

Thank you!

Can you give us more details?

What happens when you try to manually connect?

I'm afraid to say "cannot connect manually" isn't much for us to go. You have "ask to join networks" enabled?

Have you tried to install the app from Linksys? I know this is to configure the router, but maybe it will help you to establish a compatible connection.

    Hello

    I have my e4200 with active network guest and also MAC filtering installation. Somehow, I've been epxecting MAC filtering to do not apply to the network without comment thread, but it seems to be the case.

    Can someone confirm please if this is the case and if there is a work around?

  • MM, pix 515 and mac filtering

    I have an application called MeetingMaker, located at the back of my pix 515 that is used off site by 5 users. Since accessing this program on the internet, and users can have dynamic addresses, it is possible to filter by mac address somehow to allow access through the firewall to the app? Thank you.

    MAC addresses not browse the limits of layer 3. In others, your MAC address of clients cannot be seen or known once the traffic passes through the default router for that subnet. So the answer to your question is 'no '.

    You can use AAA to handle this. How your clients connect to the server? (port/application)? If its HTTP/S, the Pix can check this name of user and password before allowing access. If it is a part on request/port, you can still use authentication by requiring them to connect to the web server out there first. This will cause the Pix to authenticate by using the challenge of browser, and the Pix can be configured to allow connections to the hosts authentiated.

  • Disable broadcast SSID and MAC address turn on filtering on WAG320N

    When disabling SSID broadcast and enabling MAC address filtering on WAG320N, my other laptop wireless disconnected.  And when you try to connect, it connects again.

    You can not hide from intruders.

    The router always sends the tag. The router is immediately detected.

    The SSID is always transferred not encrypted. He is always sent over the association. It is easy to force a re-Association. If there is a single device without wire connected to the access point it takes about a second to learn the SSID.

    Disable the SSID requires your wireless devices to search actively for the network. This means that your laptop will always try to connect to your SSID, as long as it is not connected to another network. As sending requires much more power then listen passively it drains your battery.

    And, in fact, if you are in an internet café anyone can learn your SSID in time where you go on the wireless at the moment where you associate with the network of internet café.

    In addition, it causes many problems with different wireless, as instability or similar cards.

    MAC filtering is still more useless that the MAC address is always part of any wireless transmission and it's always clear. It is extremely easy to pick up the allowed MAC addresses, and it is extremely easy to change the MAC address of a wireless card.

    New: use the real security and forget this nickname of security features.

    What you try to do is a waste of time. Of your time. It will slow down any intruder.

  • iMessage on iPhone, iPad and Mac Mini issues

    So, here's a nice.

    Mac Mini, iPad Mini, iPhone5. All are on the latest versions of the OS. Connected to the identical services iCloud and iTunes on all three devices. The iPhone 5 is delivered to US, the others are the European Union (NL) issued.

    When I send an iMessage on the phone, the message sent is not the Mac Mini or Mini iPad. sent iMessages to iPad or Mac appear on both devices, but not on the phone.

    Incoming messages only appear on the phone, not on the other two aircraft.

    People receiving my messages of either the Mac Mini - combo of the iPad and the iPhone5, have two separate conversations in their messages, but an entry from me in their list of contacts.

    In iCloud online, all devices can be considered to be connected with the same account. All have been disconnected from iCloud, password has been changed and reconnected. All devices were restarted. All to nothing does not.

    Other services such as calendar function without any problem at all, an appointment has been made on what devices instantly extends to the two other devices. New contacts are shared between all the devices too. If the problem is limited to the iMessage.

    In short, I suspect there is a difference between EU and devices of the American unit, preventing them to be treated equally. Does anyone else have this problem or something similar?

    Hello mackert,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I know that Messages does not properly or sync with your devices is not what you expect. Based on what you said, it seems that you encounter some problems of synchronization with connected devices to your Apple for message ID. Good news is I had this problem myself and I solved this problem by following these steps:

    1. Firstly, you disconnect from your Apple ID for iMessage on all your devices. On your iOS devices, go to settings > Messages > Send and receive and sign for your Apple ID. Then go to settings > Messages and turn off of iMessage.

    2. on your Mac Mini, open messages, then go to the Messages menu > Preferences > accounts. Click your iMessage account in the left sidebar, and then click Sign Out and then sign out again.

    3. restart your devices as closing down and starting process is important to keep the software works correctly:

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    How to turn on or off your Mac

    4. now sign in iMessage on your iPhone first. Go to settings > Messages, turn on iMessage and connect you to your Apple ID in settings > Messages > Send and receive. Make sure that you are successfully connected, iMessage is activated, and you see your phone number and e-mail available for both "you are reachable by iMessage to ' and"Start new conversations." That's because iMessage uses your iPhone SMS to activate iMessage on your Apple ID.

    If you get an error when you try to activate FaceTime or iMessage

    5. Once your iPhone has configuration iMessage, then sign into your other accounts and check the synchronization of Messages. You can also turn on "Text Message Forwarding" under settings > Messages on your iPhone to better ensure that all devices have the same messages.

  • How to scan a document HP MFP127fn for my Ipad Air2 (the two are connected to my home network)

    Hi, how to scan a document HP MFP127fn for my Ipad Air2?

    The two are connected to my home network - the HP printer is connected by ethernet cable, and the Air2 Ipad connected by WiFi.

    I can print from the Ipad to the printer but cannot scan.

    The printer is properly connected (IE, it scans to another laptop (windows 7) without problems)

    Hi @regtown,

    My bad

    Looks like you won't be able to scan to PC or Mac with this printer. HP ePrint app is certainly compatible via iOS for printing, but it won't help you analyze for iPad.

    Kind regards

  • After the upgrade to iOS 9.3.4 my iPad air2 is suspended

    I recently updated my iPad air2 and it crashes when I try to switch between applications. Also when I drag the screen there is lag

    Try to hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time for about 15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose anything.

    If that doesn't help, try a system restore. First save your device via iTunes. Also import your photos on your computer and copy all the data if possible. Reconstruction of the support first test and test. If this does not help, you may need to restore as a new and reconfigure from scratch as the backup may be damaged. It is important to have your photos and your saved data separately from the backup. Here are the steps for a restoration:

    If the steps above do not help, you may need to test in an Apple store.
