Can't find/connect to networks

I recently spilled Gatorade on my laptop, I dried everything up, everything seemed to be normal, so I plugged it into it's charger the next day and everything's fine, but it says everything (wifi & network settings, ISP, Internet, & server) have all failed. I haven't seen anyone else in this situation and I'm not sure what to do now. Help?

Update: the laptop shut off out of the blue, turned it back on and got a gray flashing folder with a question mark on a white background. Can't do anything

After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

After I connect my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.
switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
(Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network?

A few hours ago I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router for the 1st time. It was either on auto, or channel 6 before, i'm not sure, but I changed it to 11, and now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network. I tried changing it to 6, but nothing, and I also can't go back to auto. Can someone please help. I've already searched for the network, and it says "Cant find network". I've also restarted my router. I also added the MAC address, still nothing. Other than those things, I havent touched anything else. My ipod could connect before just find. My Wifi is not disabled, and it's not on private. I can connect with other wifi's fine. And I can connect to other networks with my ipod, I also held down the button on top, and the home button for 10 seconds to restart and nothing. I also reset my network settings. Please help!

Find the documentation for your router and look up "Reset to Factory Defaults." This process will put the router back to the way it was when you bought it.

Can't find my home network

Greetings,
I have tried searching this forum and the Apple support pages, and can't find a solution. My new iPod Touch can't find my home network. I have an AirPort Extreme base station and am using WPA/WPA2 Personal security. My MacBook Pro has no problem finding my network, and works flawlessly. My iPod Touch, on the other hand, can not. Even though my home network is not a closed network, I still tried entering the network name and password manually, and it still doesn't see it. I tried turning security off completely in my Base Station>AirPort>Wireless settings, and that didn't help, either. My iPod Touch does see one or two other networks in my neighborhood, but not mine.
For the record, I am sitting less than two feet away from my AirPort Extreme base station, so I'm definitely within range, my iPod Touch can see other networks, so it would seem that it's antenna is not at fault, and my MacBook Pro sees and connects to my network without any problems, so it would seem my AirPort Extreme is set up properly. So what am I doing wrong?
Any thoughts?

Thanks Scott, that did it. Within range of everything is a wireless security camera that was creating an interference issue with my MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme, and the only solution, other than disabling the camera, was to switch from 2.4 GHz to 5.0 GHz under Base Station>AirPort>Wireless>Radio Mode, which eliminated b/g compatible. At the time, that was fine because my MacBook Pro was n compatible. I see now that my iPod Touch is not. I tried switching back to b/g compatible, and the iPod Touch found my network right away, but the MacBook Pro lost it.
Can't win for losing.
The security camera has now been disabled, and both the iPod Touch and the MacBook Pro can access my network. I just won't be able to film the guy who tries to steal them.

G50-80 can't find my wireless network at all?

My brand new G50-80 can't find my home network at all. And no, the SSID isn't set to hidden. I've spent the whole night troubleshooting, and tried all of the suggestions on the intel website for the AC 3160. The router is D-link DIR-635. It is capable of 802.11n, g and b on the 2.4 ghz band.It is set to broadcast on g, b and n. I have tried setting it to n only but that didn't help. Using "WifInfoView" free software I can see lots of networks, on 2.4 and 5 ghz both, but not my home network.You'd think that it's the router that is the problem, but I have many devices connected to my router already, including an very old laptop, several phones, and a brand new tablet. I have never had such problems before. Seeing how many people have trouble with the connectivity of this card it's frustrating that Lenovo doesn't offer a free support phone number (in my country). Unlike other people I wish a slow signal was the only problem, as I can't see the network at all. I have tried turning off password.I have tried the latest drivers from both intel and lenovo.I have tried turning off bluetooth in device manager.I have tried turning off power saving features.The router is discontinued but has the latest firmware. And as mentioned, other devices can connect to it. Is there anything more I can try other than just returning this thing?

UPDATE!!! If I select "only 802.11g" on the router I can connect.
A bit strange. I'm open to any suggestions, but at least I can connect now.

I am in an internet cafe and my macbook pro can't find the wireless network available here. I have used this network before. I have restarted my machine several times too. help please

My airport can't find my wifi network.

I have a Gateway 2wire that I came with AT&T Uverse. It has been problematic at times, but now my iMac can't find the wifi network at all. It doesn't make sense to me. Sometimes it works great, sometimes it keep dropping off. Me and my wife both have iPhones, my iPhone found the network no problem, hers could not, so I entered it manually and that worked. Then my iMac was working great on it, then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, it stopped working and now it can't find the wifi network. I can't even enter it manually. The iPhones see it and work fine, my Wii see's it and works fine. But my new blu-ray can't see it either. So why are some of my devices working fine with it, and others can't even find it. I have worked with AT&T a few time and they keep saying it's not the 2wire. I don't believe them, I have read to many reports of similar problems with the 2wire with AT&T. Is there anything I can do to solve this. I keep thinking I wan't to get an Airport Extreme and connect it to the 2wire, I have read that it is possible and will work, but I wan't to know why this router is visible to some devices and not others. Does anyone understand this.

I'm not sure what you mean. You can't find the express to set it up.. or you can't find the network created by the express?

IPhone can't find any wifi networks

I have an original iPhone. It originally ran on wifi networks and Edge, but for a while it has only worked on Edge. When I look under settings - Wi-Fi it says "Not Connected" and lists no networks. My MacBook is connected wirelessly via an AirPort and the wireless info on it lists at least 5 active networks in the area. I have tried toggling between Airplane Mode and not, turning off everything (including cable modem and AirPort) and then resetting network settings, resetting all settings, and erasing all content and settings. I have also tried "Other" under Wi-Fi Networks, but it can't find my home network.
Is there just something wrong with the device?

I have the same problem you did. Was your phone still under warranty or covered under Apple Care? My phone isn't under warranty anymore, so I'm just hoping that I'm not out of luck.

Can't find *some* wireless networks

Hi
Have seen vaguely similar posts but couldn't quite follow. I've used my G4 powerbook to connect to a whole range of wireless networks using Airport and have never had a problem. However I was trying to connect to a wireless network at my local pub and couldn't do it. Airport couldn't find it, when I manually entered all relevant info (including password), it still wouldn't connect. Other laptop users, including others with Apples, don't seem to have a problem and they can't get my laptop to co-operate either. It can still find other wireless networks elsewhere with no trouble. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Have the other apple users connected to the "hotspot" in the past? If so, their mac's may "remember" the settings of the network.
The network hotspot, as a security measure, may not broadcast the SSID and you may need to enter it manually, provided the hotspot "posts" it or gives it to your when you make a purchase. (I've seen a number of hot spots either post it near the register of give it to you after making a purchase to prevent users just accessing it without being a consumer of their products)
The hotspot may also encrypt the network, which they will usually provide as well.
I hope this helps!
P.S. There are several "Widgets" available for download that will identify if a network is available, but may not be broadcasting their SSID, this will help confirm that you are getting the signal, but just not the details in order to log in, one can be found here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/networking_security/airtrafficcontrol.h tml

Iphone osi 8.0 upgraded. Now I can't find my home network. Help!

Just upgraded my iPhone to psi 8.0. Am able to find and stay connected to public wifi. Originally was able to find my home wifi. Now I'm not connected nor can I find my home network. I have tried reset via the phone, reboot of phone and reboot of router.

Thanks 11142007. I had actually tried what you suggested. But, it was only after I rebooted the router a second time that I was able to connect and, hopefully, stay connected. The key on the second router reboot was waiting at least 15 seconds to power it back up. I didn't do that the first time.

HT1695 Can't Find any wifi Networks after updragding to 6.0.1

My iPhone 4 can't find any wifi networks after upgrading to iOS 6.0.1 and i can't downgrade what should i do ?
I swtiched off the connection from mobile and restared the router and nothing changed!
Note: My laptop found about 7 Networks my iphone finds nothing

I have the exact same problem.
It popped up on my 8gb iPhone (2.0.1) first time when i just purchased it. The Wheel spins as if it's searching for hotspots (and there are a lot of hotspots where i live). My MacbookPro finds them without any problems.
Second time i experienced these problems, it was after i didn't have a chance to charge the phone, and i figured it was a "Low battery, disable wifi" thing. But even though i charged it fully, it still can't scan networks.
I managed to discharge the battery, until the 10% warning popped up. I connected the charger, and sure enough, it was able to scan networks. Then when i tried to join a network, it stopped working again, and since then i've been unable to scan wifi. Now 3 resets, and a lot of fiddling later, i'm no further than i was before.
The fact that it was able to scan momentarily points me in the direction of the software, but i'm not so sure anymore.
Hope someone can shed some light on this.

TS1398 I can not find my wifi network on my ipad. My iphone conected fine.

I can not find my wifi network on my ipad, My iphone connects fine. I tryed restarting the ipad and router. Please help

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

How can i find out which network my iphone is locked to

Sorry if iv posted this in the wrong section.well the question is quite simple. how can i find out which network my iphone 4s is locked to, without purchasing sim cards from every network.
I just bought the phone second hand with no sim as a birthday present for my wife with the intention of getting it unlocked (not jailbroken)
If any body can give me any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Macbook pro can´t find/connect to my hotspot

Dear experts!
I recently moved to a new place and got myself a T-Mobile HomeNet Router. Everything works fine (WiFi and Ethernet) with all devices (iPhone, iPad, iMac, Linux-machine...) EXCEPT my MacBook Pro (specs below in the product section) :-(
Ever since I moved the Macbook can´t find or connect to my home hotspot. Settings on the router are as follows:
- 802.1 b/g (it IS capable of b/g/n but I found a thread somewhere pointing out that this could be an issue)
- channel 13 (deactived auto-channel because my neighbours had overlapping channel settings...this was the only one that worked)
- rate auto
- frequency 2.4 GHz
- 30% signal strength (same reason as above)
- QoS activated
- SSID hidden (tried broadcasting it, made no difference)
- WPA2-PSK
- AES (TKIP and TKIP+AES available as well...but neither made any difference)
I can connect via ethernet, however that´s not the intended purpose of neither my notebook nor the router :-/ Someone suggested it might be an encryption issue but even without ANY encryption the hotspot won´t show up in the list. Password contains special characters but even my old iMac doesn´t seem to have problems with it. I tried connecting manually via "other network" without success. Also via Controlpanel -> Network -> Assist me ...
I´m sitting right next to my router so the signal strength can´t be the cause either (besides all other devices work just fine anywhere in my appartement). Restarted all devices, each one is up to date. Last thing I tried was making the changes in Firefox cause someone suggested it might be a bug in the router software, still no success.....I´m out of ideas.
Posted this in another Mac forum already but no one could help me :-( You guys are my last hope ... does anyone know this issue and how to solve it??
any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
many thanks in advance
tchintchie

nevermind...here´s what solved it for me:
