Networksetup - System Network Configuration

Hi,

How did you get on re 1&2 in my previous post?

Years ago I seem to remember I had a similar thing when using a Swisscom MiFi unit.

Are you using your mobile for internet access on your Mac?

Hi SD,

Never thought of hotspot scenario

Hi SD,

Never thought of hotspot scenario

Just that I noticed the modem was HuaweiMobile in Keychain (Post # 13)

No my internet is USB wifi. With the type of internet that I have it can only be used with device at a time, it cant be used as a hot spot.

This issue only started after i installed the new OS X update. I also have issues now with the connection some times saying that there is more than 1 network available but Im not connected to any

Are you using your mobile for internet access on your Mac?

So you aren't connecting to the internet using a mobile phone then.

 

[Sarah1982]

no just the USB internet

 

[Spawn_Dooley]

Are you using a mobile broadband device

 

[Sarah1982]

Yes it is

 

[Sarah1982]

this is what it is if it helps

 

[Spawn_Dooley]

Yes, that does help a lot … are you within the Telstra network coverage map? not in a black spot?

 

[Sarah1982]

I think I am, Ive never had issue before

 

[Spawn_Dooley]

there should be a connection manager, can you open this & see if it's set to 'auto'

 

[Sarah1982]

is this what you mean?

 

[Spawn_Dooley]

in the first attachment there is a check box to tick for automatic connection. select it to enable this feature then disconnect the device, reboot your mac then connect the device to see if there are any positive changes to your issue.

 

[Sarah1982]

I did what you said but the pop up screen keeps coming on once the internet is connected

 

[Sarah1982]

I don't really have issues with the connection apart from it falling out from time to time its more now though since I did the update the pop up comes up and if I keep cancelling it, I lose my connection.

 

[Spawn_Dooley]

What OS X version do you now have? Yes your connection won't go ahead without giving permission to Networksetup to do it's thing.

 

[Sarah1982]

Its version 10.9.4

There may be a way to stop your Mac always asking for administration rights to authorise change but it would surely entail some really serious under-the-bonnet tinkering on your Mac using Terminal code, but again I don't have direct expertise on this issue so I'd only be googling & if I struck it lucky, passing the method to you to follow at your own risk.

I have been doing extensive googling on this issue with not much luck really but the following might offer a solution with the emphasis on 'might'.

Some have found changing from the BigPond Connection Manager software/drivers to the Netgear AirCard/drivers have helped but usually for connection issues not specifically your issue.

AirCard 320U (BigPond)

You can only give it a whirl but I am using Mac OS X 10.7.5 & cannot replicate your issue.

If you google aircard 320U usb modem & click on the images tab you will see that your USB device is shown amongst the results so don't be confused by this …

All I can suggest is that you either give the AirCard software a go over the BigPond Connection Mgr software

OR

you can book an Telstra Tech Bar appointment & make sure you can take both your Mac & the device in to Telstra so they can see exactly what you're seeing …. well that's my 2¢'s worth hope it helps
