Suddenly unable to reach any Mac wireless network

After a reboot, my mac has forgotten its entry preferences, which have been quickly restored.

However, I am now unable to join any wireless network, the hotspot or wifi.

Networks are visible and 3 bars. I have no problem to reach the networks from other devices.

I tried to turn routers/off voltage, off/on power mac wifi. I joined wifi networks, where I am asked to enter the wifi password, but the end result is the same.

I ran the Diagnostics, but I don't mean anything to me.

I have Time Machine backups, but I do not know which bit to restore.

Help is appreciated.

What happens when you run the diagnostics?

Other devices connect OK via wifi?

Can you connect via a cable Ethernet/as a test?

Press on and hold down the Option key and click on the wifi icon in the menu bar. After a screenshot of the window that opens

  • Unable to connect to other wireless networks

    RE: Unable to connect to other wireless networks

    • My computer is a HP Pavilion dv7 1232nr Entertainment Center
    • My OS is Windows Vista 64 bit
    • I have installed many things over the past year, but know that at some point, I was able to get on free Wi - Fi in hotels

    I am able to connect to my network, but when I try to connect to others, I'm unable to do. I have their password and my computer SHOWS I have a connection, but actually I'm not. When I try to connect to the Internet, the server is not found. I called the support/supplier for the last network owner and he told me that even if I "thought" I was online, I really wasn't. He said that it is probably a router configuration for that person that does not correspond to my computer. As I was just visiting, of course I didn't mess with their router. This happened to me twice, with once the provider is the same as mine, but the only way I could get connected with a hard link.

    So far, the only thing I did is to see if I could connect to free wireless (municipal library) and was unsuccessful. I think the problem is with my settings, but am not sure. I have to be careful to change anything because I can't afford to lose my connection at home because my job depends on it.

    Any suggestions?

    (1) if I try to set up a wireless connection, I get "unexpected error occurred". There is no useful looking for messages in the event viewer.

    (2) if I use "Diagnose and repair" I get "knows the network adapter driver or hardware related issues.

    I uninstalled everything which I think could be the cause of conflicts. I scanned for malware. I have run chkdsk and sfc. I have all the updates from Windows Update. I tried in Safe Mode with networking, but still get the same results.

  • Wireless configuration of HP C4780 with new router and Mac (wireless network not found)

    About 10 months ago, I bought a new router. I already had several problems connecting my HP C4780 to my old router, and after setting up the new router, I was totally unable to connect the printer wireless to my router.

    I have reset the system to the printer on my Mac, I have reset the settings on my printer wireless, I downloaded the latest HP software, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software several times and I have had no success. When running through the Setup Wizard, I was able to select the printer and method (wireless network set up by USB) before plugging the USB key. After that, the Setup Wizard says "Device not connected" (DUH!) and the screen select network said simply "no discovery goes Wi - Fi network." I ran the print to the printer from the Network Configuration, and he identified 15 networks (mine included). So, it seems that the Wi - Fi receiver on the printer still works...

    Any suggestions?

    P.S. This printer has been nothing trouble since I got it, and I wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE (I like actually...).

    After attempting to run the installer on my boot camp Windows 7 Ultimate version, I fell at last on an obscure statement in the configuration of the PC software for the c4780. It says to connect the computer to the router using the router WPS button.

    I have reset the configuration on the printer and turned off wireless the wireless, then I pushed the the router WPS button until the blue WiFi light on the c4780 lit. THIS SEEMED to BE THE KEY STEPS to CONNECT THE c4780 to MY ROUTER.

    After that, the configuration and setting up the printer on my Mac using the system of preferences was a piece of cake. Functions of the printer and the scanner work with Mac drivers.

    Problem solved... For now... This printer is so buggy, I have no doubt I'll have similar problems in the future.

  • C309g-m - unable to connect to the wireless network, touchpad hangs

    Hello.

    As PrintDoc has suggested, it's a new thread in the suite here, where I jumped in with a diversion to the station 23.  I'm sorry.

    Here are the details:

    (1) system:

    Router is Thomson TG585n provided by ISP O2/Telefonica.  Download high speed ADSL to ~ 9Mbps.

    3 devices connected and stable:

    -L' computer running XPSP3, connects to the router via homeplug (Ethernet on electrical wiring).

    -Laptop running Vista Home Premium, connects wirelessly with WPA2-AES.

    -Mobile phone runs Symbian 60, connect wirelessly in the same way.

    Router is configured to operate on channel 11 g wireless and accept new devices automatically with the appropriate security password.

    It is a House of 3 floors - router on the top floor has always worked. computer bureau on a middle floor with printer; laptop and the phone can be anywhere.

    So far so good.

    Now, I want to add the wireless printer and I'm really bad.

    (2) summary of symptoms:

    I bought the C309g-m on Amazon UK in January 2010.  USB connection with assistant easily.  Migrated to wireless via the front panel.  Easy. Then tried to add a 500 GB Freecom Network Drive (NAS device connected to the router) and has failed, because I didn't RTFM.  After removing the FND, I get an error message of HP to the effect that I have "tried to set the printer's IP address" and lost the connection to the printer wireless.  Have not seen this message since then, so I can't reproduce.

    As I said, I removed the FND, who never appeared on the network in any way.  However I still can't connect to the printer wirelessly.  The wireless connection wizard crashes after asking to specify a password.  The wireless network Test report that the radio works, but shows FAIL the entrance of 'No filter '.  I looked into the console of the router and there is nowhere to set the MAC address filtering, so I'm stumped.

    I tried to 'Add a device' CD, for network via USB settings.  It takes forever (30 minutes?) to come up with the same error "MAC address filtering.

    One last thing: if I leave radio turned on (the default lighting) will lock the touchpad after a few minutes to the home screen.  If I disable it, it's fine.  Once locked, the only way to stop is to unplug the power supply.

    Finally - all the base printer functions very well.  I can print and scan through the USB port and can take copies.

    Thoughts:

    (a) I think my router settings can be screwed.  I don't see a way to set limits to the DHCP pool, I should be able to.  However, since I was 3 devices that connect to the Internet I am reluctant to do a factory reset in case I lose those!

    (b) there's something wrong with the printer - but I don't know what.

    c) I could try temporarily move the printer to the i) door ii) within reach of hardwirable of CAT5 and wireless range

    (d) the fact that I can connect the printer (wireless) or DNF (cable) makes me suspect the router.  However, I have not received any support from O2: they said it was an internal problem of LAN/WLAN and nothing to do with broadband, therefore, were not willing to help.

    I spent hours on this and get nowhere.  Help, please!

    Tim.

    BTW - I'm in the United Kingdom.

    Well, I think that there are many more problems with 'atypical' routers and HP software as there are with HP printers.  I see not nearly as many problems with certified brand routers WiFi (like Linksys, Netgear and D-Link), as I do with large brands and Belkin.

    The worst offenders are rented modems/routers that your ISP provides.  For some reason, they have a lot of industrial property settings and firmware that simply don't play well with HP printers (may be others, but I would never buy another printer HP - I know way to much about printers after their design for 25 years).

    A reliable and good solution cheap is to go buy a $40 or $50 Linksys router and replace stuff not expensive you have (or paste according to your router/modem rented).   Time and time again, I've seen problems disappear just after installing a standard router.

    You can reserve an IP address for a wired connection, but because parts wired and wireless to the printer have separate MAC addresses, this IP address is not available for the wired connection.

    Read the thread if you wish.  Discover the solutions on this website if you want to, but I still think you have a defective printer.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Solved: unable to connect to my wireless network

    I have problems connecting to my wireless network. In available connections, my network is there with an x next to it. I can click on it and put my security key in, but it says unable to connect to the network. I've updated ready network cards. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Bobby

    Thank you for all your help. I'm back on now. I started having trouble a few weeks ago. My wifi connection would pass, and I have to disable and then re activate my network card back. This has been relatively shortly after my upgrade from Windows 10 but not immediately after. Then the other day which didn't work and I could not connect at all. I read somewhere to try to uninstall the network adapter and then restarting. It did not work. I also read to find updates for the network card and install those which, as mentioned by ichi730 as well. This no longer works. Then, I realized that I had not tried to restart the router after reading the post of WyreNut. It worked, thank you! I feel that it is a combination of the two pieces of advice that have worked so.

    Thank you all for your comments, it's much appreciated.

  • Unable to connect to the wireless network

    I have a Pavilion DV2000. I am running Vista 32 bit. Used to connect to my home wireless network, it stopped.  I have another computer that still works with the wireless network, so I guess that the wireless network is OK.

    When I look at the HP wireless assistant, it shows the conections of bluetooth, but does not show the wifi connection (as it does not exist).

    When I click on the network icon in the tool bar it ask to search for wireless networks, it says that there is not.

    When I look at the list of drivers for network devices there is no wifi driver.  I installed the driver broadcom on the site of HP rebooted and I still don't see the driver and the PC cannot yet see the wireless network.

    I looked at the list of hardware in Windows system information utility and it shows the Broadcom device, but it shows the address MAC is not available and there is no memory listed address.

    Does anyone have suggestions for a next step?  Is this a problem with the hardware with the broadcom device?  Is it possible to test?

    I found the solution to a different thread.  Reach:

  • Unable to connect to a wireless network with Windows 7 computer laptop.

    After resetting my router netgear wireless home network, I have not been able to access my own network with my laptop. I already had access to the internet with a wireless ethernet cable and ankles bound to the router. After reset the netgear router, I was able to access the internet from two other laptops XP and an Acer mini wireless with no problems at all. But my new laptop Toshiba with Windows 7 could not connect, even if he could detect the network. I tried all day even resort to the ethernet socket and wireless cable, but even that would no longer work. I was able to connect using this same cable attached.

    Hello

    Seems that the Wireless does not work on the Dell.

    This is the process to try to find what wrong with it.

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

    Assuming that wireless router is configured correctly, it is a signal and the wireless card on the computer is physically in.

    Maybe this can help.

    These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

    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

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

    The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

    To ensure that if there is Wireless Utility a seller is not running with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

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

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

    Some 3rd AV/Firewall/security software part, s costume keep blocking aspects of Local traffic even it they are off (disabled).

    If possible set up the firewall correctly, /Security costume otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

    If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

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

    Stack TCP/IP work should look like.

    Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/status-NIC.jpg

    Description is the data of the card making.

    The physical address is MAC of the card number.

    The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

    YY should be between 0 and 255

    ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

    The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

    * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

    * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

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

    A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

    Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

    Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

    If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

  • Unable to connect to a wireless network for machine under windows 7.

    I have a Lenovo Ideapad U450p with Intel Centrino 2 chipset.

    The wireless card is Intel(r) WiFi Link 5100 AGN

    Completely updated the driver (in order to solve the problem)

    For some reason I can't connect to any wireless network. I don't think it's a problem of router, the router can connect to other devices (there is no MAC filtering). I also tried to connect to the hotspot from my phone.

    Hi guys

    I got a 1nj c660 and I have a wireless connection to a Fritzbox 7170.

    Now, this morning, everything was fine and I connected wonderfully, but now I can't connect no settings have been changed I just stop and start as usual. I used configfree and it shows the network but if I try to connect it says unable to connect to the network. I have Win7 home basic OS.

    I uninstalled the wireless network card and reinstalled, updated the drivers but nothing works, I still get the same error.

    Can someone help will appreciate it greatly!

    Hello

    Are you able to connect to open WLan?
    I mean you can try to disable security options in your Fritzbox and might test whether you are able to connect without the WEP, WPA or other safety standards.
    Of course, you should only done for testing purposes

    If this box works, then it means that the security of your router settings were not consistent with the settings of the Wlan card.

  • Unable to connect to my wireless network

    I recently discovered that my wifi for vista would not connect to the internet even if the signal is 100% solid.

    My wireless House has a WEP encryption and it has already been saved on the laptop but since yesterday it ask me the WEP key when I try to connect it and wouldn't connect even if only the WEP pass has been entered correctly.

  • Satellite L300 - unable to connect to the wireless network

    I have a NETGEAR router and a Toshiba Satellite L300 laptop HP DV2000.

    The HP can connect to my wireless network and also my neighbors network next door (which is not secure)
    However, the L300 can only connect to the network of my nextdoor neighbour even if it can 'see' the NETGEAR network.

    I changed the security from WPA to WEP up to now no security at all, and it seems not to matter.
    The strange thing is that my L300 CAN connect to a wireless network, but not mine!

    And my wireless network works as I can connect from my HP laptop.
    On the L300 it shows 5 bars on the NETGEAR is not a problem of weak signal.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Try changing the WLAN settings on your router. Compare the WLAN settings on the settings of your laptop and the router.

    Test it with standard B on both devices.
    I mean if your laptop can see neighbours WLAN card wireless network in the laptop must be OK.
    I really thing all is due to wrong WLAN settings.

    Play around with that sort of thing.
