Mac OSX 10.8.4 can't see 5 GHz Linksys EA6500 wireless network

Hello

We have an EA6500 of Linksys router work of office. I found that Macs can't see 5 GHz network quite often but can almost always see the 2.4 Ghz network. If I restart the Mac then it can sometimes see the 5 GHz network but it's far from being reliable in trying to connect.

Once all connected works correctly, it's just the operating system to display a list of network. If I same boot Mac in Windows 8 he can see the 5 GHz Wireless reliable every time.

The office is in a shared office space, and there are many visible wireless in the room, about 12 now.

I have the latest firmware of the router Linksys EA6500 (1.1.28.147876) and all software updates on Mac OSX. I fiddled with the network of automotive channels, to the setting of specific channels that seemed empty when I used a phone Android to see how busy they were.

Has anyone seen or had any sort of resolution?

When I get home, I have the same router and my Mac connect reliably, 100% of the time on the 5 GHz network.

Well, I got to the low fo this. My steps, in case someone knocks something similar were:

1. start of Fedora Core 19 Linux on my Macbook Air

2 tries to connect to various networks near me, even if I didn't have the key

3. notes that dmesg responded with 'country setting code' and then run dmesg and grep'd for the game of country codes

4. after hitting one of the wireless networks, I noticed he would lie TW country code

5. wireless network was not protected and so that a scan of the network, when her and found some web interfaces

6. connected to the interface web and found it was a VCR Panasonic connect you

7. once I had the wireless network manager I walked around the building with my iPhone looking force wireless looking where he was stronger.

8. since I found that the reception office was where he was

9. the person at the front desk denied that they had any router or wireless, it

10. they opened a closet that had, a TV Panasonic inside recorder!

11 identified the router right next to him.

12A obtained in the region of router has changed for US

Mac connect now to 5 Ghz EA6500 reliable, every time.

  • Mac can't see DJ 3050 j610 on wireless network

    I am not able to connect and print to this printer wireless. I have seen several posts on set up the printer on the wireless network, but it's not my problem.  I can pull the top of the printer by IP in a browser, and I can connect using the HP printer utility, if I add it manually by using the IP address.

    I can also add it via the prefs-> print & scan system by entering the IP address.  But then try to print, just jobs hang in the coil with the message "printer is busy".

    The printer does not have an IP address and I can connect using a machine windows very well. I'm out of ideas. Help.

    Hello

    I suspect the lack of supported multicast or misconfiguration of your router.

    Make sure you disable the firewall running (the system or any 3rd party)

    So, try to add the printer by IP, do not forget to select the HP Jetdirect-Socket Protocol.

    That is likely to allow printing.

    So, please specify your router brand and model.

  • How can I add a printer to my wireless network

    How can I add a printer to my wireless network

    John

    I assume that you have a wireless printer. If so, the software is different from each manufacturer, but it is similar to this. Before starting the installation, make sure that you have a USB cable at your fingertips and you know your network name (SSID) and wireless key. Install the software and follow the prompts to set up the connection Wireless for the first time. Once it has been set up you can unplug the USB cable.

    The USB cable is not required on subsequent computers, simply install the software and follow the prompts on the screen of an additional computer (or similar wording). You may need to enter an SSID and Wi - Fi key, after which the printer must be accounted for.

    Hello

    Check the firewall it is maybe it has been reset.

    In general.

    Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

    Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

    If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

    Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

    Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    When the work turns on the Wireless security.

    Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

    Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

    --------------------------------------------------

    I really checked and configured every thing and it doesn't work.

    Software firewall application that is not configured to allow local traffic (between the computer and the router is also a possible problem.
    some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless, Mac OS 10.7.2 can't get it configured to run wireless

    I have an iMac OS Airport Extreme and an HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Router 10.7.2.  Recently, I replaced my router with an Airport Extreme.  My printer installation CD is for OS 10.4 or 10.5.  I'm trying to configure the 8000 wireless but without much luck.  As I understand it, the HP 8000 Installer is now included in OS 10.7.  I followed some of the elements of an another post about it with OS 10.6.  Somehow I can't get to the place were the installation of the printer asks me to choose a network.  I have updated all the software, installation of a printer connected to a USB cable.

    I figured this out (with the help of the Doc print "is there driver for Deskjet 3050 for Mac OSX 10.7).  Once I stopped thinking like the approach of Mac OS 10.6 with a hp utility things were easy.

    -delete all printers already implemented

    -rub the old hp software

    -Unplug the usb cable from the printer if you have connected

    -restore the network printer hpsetup (press the power button / stop, network 2 x button, cancel 3 x, output power)

    -Print the wireless network test report (updated 2 x key and press the network button). Check the ssid is hsetup

    -change the mac to hpsetup wireless network

    -go to the sys pref > print scanning

    -Add the 8000 printer

    -Click options & supplies, and navigate to the printer Web page

    -use the network wizard and change the network of hpsetup to your network

    -finishing

    -Return to the sys prefs and change the network to your network

    -go to the printer and print the wireless network test report (updated 2 x key and press the network button).  Make sure that the SSID is your network

    -try to print something on your printer.  It might take a bit of time first impression.

  • Dell XPS 13 (2015) can't see 5 GHz network

    Hello

    I have the new laptop XPS of 13 2015 with Broadcom 802.11ac configuration. I am unable to see my WiFi 5 GHz network and can connect only to the 2.4 Ghz band. My router is the Asus RT-N66U. Is there a solution?

    SAL

    I had the same problem.

    If you uninstall the wireless card in Device Manager (select the option to also delete the driver) and then check for changes on the hardware, Windows uses its own built the pilot who can see 5 GHz networks.  It seems that the driver from the Dell Web site is borked.

    My concern is that this driver is not updated, so I would like to know where to get more drivers for this device.

  • Brand new WUSB6300 can't see 5 GHz band - defective?

    Hello. Just bought an adapter nine WUSB6300 that I read on the forums that it is reliable and certified WiFi.

    I currently have an ASUS RT-AC66U dual band Router router and one adapter dual band ASUS USB-AC53 at home for my desktop running Win10, but I had dropouts and I couldn't connect to 5 GHz 802.11ac properly.

    So, I thought that all my problems Wireless will be resolved now, but exactly the opposite happened.

    I installed the drivers from the CD and the new adapter plugged. I have two wireless networks at home, a 2.4 and 5 GHz one, named differently, but my new adapter does not see 5 GHz network.

    I spent hours trying different settings of the router (change of 802.11ac 802.11n and editing the bandwidhts, 20-40-80) but without success. Then I plugged the adapter on my laptop, which has Win7 and I had the same problem, no visible 5 GHz network. I tried different drivers from Linksys - without success. I could see and connect to the network 2.4 GHz, no problem.

    The last thing I'll do, I'll try with another router, before I send it for replacement. But before that, I thought I'll ask the question here: have you had similar problems with your adapter or do you think mine is DOA?

    Change of the wireless router s 5 GHz to channel 36.

    Large files sometimes also stop transfer (crashes) when you use my USB connection. The usb controller uses the driver microsoft 5.1.2600.0 dated June 1, 2002.

    Is this a driver problem?

    Hello

    If the wireless network adapter is properly installed if you have not configured you.
    I put t know which devices in broadband services, you want to say but generally if you want to communicate or transfer files between laptops through the WiFi network so all the computers must be in the same domain or workgroup.

    I can't give you a correct answer, but only a suggestion. I have red that sometimes a lower potency could be responsible for this show. Try turning off the safe power option in the properties of the hub USB root in Device Manager.

  • My Mac Pro and HP Deskjet 3070 PowerBook does not connect via a wireless network from dorm

    Both my laptop and printer (an all-in-one) are connected to the same wireless network dorm, but they do not connect on it.  They connect only wire using a USB cable.

    I have for the MacBook Pro and the Deskjet printer IP addresses but no way to use to establish a connection.  I don't have access to the network router.  When I test the connectivity, the software tells me, "too many networks."  He can't make a choice!

    Interestingly, I have my MacBook Air along this journey, too, and the two MacBook have no problem of communication on the same network of dorm.

    Is it possible to plug these devices such as computers connect or should I remain attached to the USB cable to use my new printer?  I guess you know how I feel about this.  Thanks for your advice.

    You are right.  There is no way to bypass security protected by password and thus to connect a Mac to a Deskjet 3070 via a secure network without access to a router, and a password.  However, even without access to a network or a router, there is a workaround solution.  In my case, where the technical ability to correctly configure the router and the printer is beyond the understanding of the management of the dormitory, qualified through the difference to happen anytime soon, it is the answer I need.

    The solution is to build your own Mac + network printer and make it private, protect it against unwanted entry.  This offer you little mobility in the area of the printer, which is much better than nothing.  A sofa can be more conducive to creative thinking as an Office Chair.  The unconventional twist that Johnny introduced the user, the printer that generates the sender-recipient, not the Mac network.  Very smart.

    I refer you to the thread,

    "Deskjet 3070 cannot connect to the ad - hoc network (Mac)"

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-networking-and-wireless/DeskJet-3070A-cant-connect-to-ad-hoc-network/m-p/1446819#M38598

    Then the only question is to know how to connect your Mac on the Deskjet 3070 printer via the generic (as he calls it, "ad hoc") network created by the Deskjet printer.  The Mac has abundant features for this purpose.

    Thanks for the categorical assertion, however.  No sense to break down the walls looking for a nonexistent hidden tunnel...!

  • Can't find existing printer on the wireless network

    I'm trying to establish a connection between a laptop recent Dell running Windows 7 and HP C7250 printer that is connected to the same network without wire connected to the computer.  I downloaded the correct driver from HP and during the installation process the installer wants to know how I want to set up the connection between the computer and the printer.  I select "wireless network" and the software goes out and tries to find the printer.  It relates, again, that there is no printer on the network.  I tried the advanced search option of installation of HP - looking for the printer using its IP address (which I have of it is implemented the process) but it is impossible to find out who way or the other.  The printer has already been successfully implemented to communicate with the network (it indicates that it is connected, provides the IP address, etc.).  I know that the computer works on the wireless network: she uses this path to connect to the internet.  I wonder why this printer is not found.  Troubleshooting HP message suggests that the computer security software can block recognition.  I am running MS Security Essentials.  Is it possible this?  The printer cannot provide the correct information on the network for any reason any?  BTW, this configuration was working at once but then stopped for some reason any.  I followed all instructions associated with this facility but havecome in the gaps.  Any suggestions on how I could disturb more pull this problem?

    The likely cause is the security setting. A few things to try:

    1. Open your browser and the IP address of the printer.  If the printer is properly connected to the network, you should see the web server integrated for the printer.  If this succeeds, then go to step 2, otherwise study why the printer isn't appearing any more on the network.
    2. Download and run the HP Network Diagnostic Utility. It will solve various aspects of network connectivity.
    3. If the above does not resolve the problem, then follow the steps in this additional debugging page, which may include to manually adjust the settings of the firewall as shown here.   There are a number of ports that the AIO units use to communicate with the computer.
