I have been having trouble connecting to my wifi on my ipad mini but my iPod is just fine......it will connect and then say "Unable to connect to network" I've tried resetting my ipad mini and turning off my router for 30 seconds and its not working.
What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
How is it setup?
I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in. -
I am having trouble connecting to my wifi-
I am having trouble connecting to my locked WIFI linksys account via my personal PC. I tried the authentication code via linksys with no luck. Any suggestions??
Thanks!If you have ever connected to it go to Settings>Wi-Fi>press on the name of the network and press Forget This Network. Then reset your phone (hold on/off and home buttons together for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo, release and wait for it to restart) and go back and try to joing your wifi again.

Changed from DSL to cable modem. Now Mac book pro won't connect to wifi - Time Machine?
One Mac ok, other not. Help?Thanks. We have been using an existing Time Machine for wifi. Cable modem replaced DSL router and was hooked up to Time Machine. What's odd is that 3 computers and iPad2 are connecting to home wifi just fine, using exact same network and password as before. My Mac book pro and an older iPad are not. IPhones are also connecting to home wifi just fine. I managed to get my Mac book pro hooked one time by copying ip address from a Mac that was working (entered manually) then turning that one off. That's not what I need.
The error message is "no ip address". -
Hello I was given an ipad ios 5.1.1 from my mother she had purchased a newere version. I am unable to connect to my wifi due to needing to setup my vpn configuration. Can you please help me?
You haven't told us what you've tried to get the vpn working and what errors you may have encountered, so I'll just give a link to an overview of setting up vpn on a device...

I just bought a iPad and am trying to set it up. I have WiFi at my home but cannot get on with my iPad. My laptop asks for a pin number to join and the iPad asks for a password. I enter the correct password and it tells me that it is incorrect. I have talked to my WiFi carrier and they tell me that they do not know what it could be. Can someone please help me figure this out.
connectng with a pin # will not work with the ipad. you need to find out exactly what the actual wifi password is.
pin and push buttons are used by wifi protected setup. which is an optional feture of WPA
here are some ideas
go to the routers home page (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254) and see if you can click on "show password"
get the manual out, it should have the default user name and password you may need to access the routers page
if your windows computer connects, then you should be able to right click the wifi connection and click on show password as well. this is somewhere in the properties page of the wifi connection
also with windows its a good idea to click on "save wifi connection to usb drive" this can be used to connect other windows computers and xbox game consoles as well
if your laptop computer is a mac book you can go to the keychain or icloud keycahin and reveal the actual passowrd as well.
look at the actual router it might have directions on a sticker on how to access the routers configuration pages
if you enter the wrong password on the ipad you need to forget the network and try again -
the wifi works perfectly fine on all my other electronics, and I've already tried reseting and moving the router. The wifi signal is only strong if I am within 5 feet of the router.
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router.
- Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Having trouble connecting with home wifi on my phone. It's always connected very easily.
Password is correct. Phone "sees" the wifi, but not connecting. I've disconnected, reconnected. Turned phone off. It says that the wifi is disabled. All my other wifi devices are working ok.
This is odd, katpolz! When did this start? Have you done any changes on your device or updates that might of caused this to happen? What make/model phone do you have? Are you able to connect this device to other WiFi's ?

Has anybody bought an Epson XP 205 cause having trouble connecting to wifi
Hhas anybody bought an Epson XP 205 cause having trouble connecting to my wifi (which is sky broadband) I have the Epson app but it cannot find the printer has anybody got any suggestions?
I am so disappointed! The exact samething has happened to me, AND my husbands Touch. We had no problems before, and as you say with 2.1 a little stared - I ignored it because I love and defend my touch. After 2.2 all heck broke loose, I went to the genius bar and of course it ran perfect there. I had numerous screen shoots in one day, 'failed to connect to server, safari server, gmail server' - timed out blah blah blah, so they suggested I call my internet provider, they run a test and everything fine, they suggest I call the router people, ten bucks later and with nothing really showing a problem with the router our Touches still do not work like they used to. I am NOT buying a iphone, I want Apple to fix it or tell me how, it worked fine before what the heck gives, I wish someone could answer honestly.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest, I really hate to switch to Zune as my nephew has been bragging about.

Trouble connection to certain wifi APs
So I've been having trouble connecting to some wifi access points over the last half last year or so. The weird thing is that my notebook stopped connecting to one AP which works for other devices, used to work with the notebook and now it connects to some networks (like eduroam) but refuses to connect to others, like my access point at home. Other distributions and operating systems, like Kali Linux and Windows 8 connect fine to the same access points on the same notebook.
My hardware is a Thinkpad Edge E325 with this network controller
01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter [10ec:8176] (rev 01)
The kernel is the latest stable 3.16.4 and wpa_supplicant is 2.2-2, but I think it's been happening since somewhere around linux 3.13.x.
The logs I could gather are useless to me. Here is NetworkManagers journal output:

This problem might actually solve itself, since I'll probably give this notebook away in a few weeks, but I'd still like to find the reason for this.Well, that's quite a drastic solution so I've saved it for last (Recovery Mode).
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
I'm having trouble connecting to apps, itunes store, internet on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. I am currently connected to a perfectly running WiFI connection. This just started happening today (2/19/14)! Why am I not able to connect anything? I've tried ALL the fixes suggested. HELP!!!!!!!!! BTW, I know my Wi-Fi connection is good because I'm using it on my desktop and other people in my office are also connected on their iPhones and desktops. Again, HELP!!!!
You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc. -

Did you already try to reset the router?
Did you reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Did you reset the network settings on your iPod in Settings/General/Reset?

IPhone 4 having trouble connecting to wifi with redirect
Hi all,
I was wondering if someone out there can help me. I have an iPhone 4 running 5.0.1. Ever since i upgraded to iOs 5, i have noticed trouble connecting to the wifi at work. At home and school the phone connects perfectly. At work we have a redirect page. When going under safari it just uses my mobile network (which is not that strong). I check the wifi menu and it seems as if it is "trying" to connect...it shows the grey pinwheel spinning next to the correct netowrk but nothing ever happens. I try to "renew lease", i turn off wifi, i reset the phone. Sometimes it connects first try. Other times it takes HOURS. I assumed maybe it was just the network, so i attempted to try to connect my nook, and the nook connects right away. I never touched any settings, but i am very confused on to what may be going on here to explain the type of problem i am having since iOs 5. Thank you in advance.
JennYou'll need to provide complete details before anyone will be able to offer suggestions.
For future posts, please don't put a lot of excess characters in the subject line. Just a brief summary of the problem - e.g. "iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.01 cannot connect to WiFi" - will be sufficent. I've asked the Hosts to edit out the superfluous junk.
Regards.
