My home wifi connection suddenly got cutoff, then my iPod can't connect to it anymore
My home wifi connection suddenly got cutoff, then my iPod can't connect to it anymore whereas all other devices (Macbook, Blackberry, etc) has no problem connecting. After putting the password, the password is accepted but it keeps searching forever and refuse to connect!
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Try the following that you have not yet done to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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 network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My ipad mini refuses to join home wifi connection. It is trying to do so continuously but with no success. I tried to reset all settings. Switched wifi off and then back on. Nothing works. The rest of devices are fine with the wifi. What shall I do next?
Maybe reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds or so and then plug it back in. Reboot your iPad while the router is powering up.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
My iphone is having a problem staying connected to my home wifi connection. It has worked perfectly for the past month, but all of a sudden it started asking me to reenter the wifi password. Now it stays connected for only a few seconds before it changes over to 3G or Edge. But I can connect to other wifi outside of my home. I have reset passwords, updated firmware, etc.
Any suggestions?If you have no problems on other networks then you could be having WiFi interference problems at home or your router is failing. There may be another nearby WiFi network which is using the same WiFi channel that you are using (there are 11 selectable channels) or a 2.4 GHz cordless phone nearby could be interfering.
There are PC/Mac programs which can scan for nearby WiFi networks and show what channels they are using (for example, iStumbler). You can administer your router to set what channel to use (see the documentation that came with it or visit the manufacturer's support web page.)
If no interference problems are found then your router may be having problem (even if some other devices still appear to work with it). Consider replacing your router.
If you need more help please give the make/model router you are using and how it is configured. -
Why my home wifi connection ipad2 enter the password after the password has been wrong? Password is the phone able to connect after the connection is ipad2 has been an error?
Hello joe2616,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your Wi-Fi network is dropping, please follow the directions outlined below.
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.

Please I am wondering if anyone will have solution to my BBM problem , I am presently using my blackberry on home wiFi connection as I have ended my contract with my network provider(virgin). The BBM, IM applications ( yahoomessenger, window live, AIM, talk) ,my facebook apps and blackberry world were all working fine even with different wifi connection. But recently I am unable to use all these above mentioned applications more importantly my BBM as I needed it badly to communicate. Initially , I thought it was the internet connection at home but I found out the browser and two other applications I have are working perfectly. I don't know if anyone will have an idea of any solution to this problem.
I would appreciate any effort towards solving this problem.
ThanksBBM requires an active BlackBerry data plan. As for others, try downloading the latest version of App World from www.blackberry.com/appworld and then update your Facebook and Twitter apps, most should work via WiFi only.

My home wifi connects ok but consistantly disconnects requiring the user to go into settings, wifi, and reconnect. Very annoying. Any ideas on what causes this?
Thanks, but I have done that. All the settings on the mini are identical to the iPad 3 & still the mini won't work properly. I'm sure it was something I had to change on servers to get both the Macbook & iPad 3 working, just wish I could remember what!! Any more suggestions welcome! Thanks

I have a I Phone 3gs, I unfortunately on my home wifi selected forget a network and now I can not access my home network even when I reenter my password how do i correct this?
Hi shelly92555,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your current situation. If you are saying that you are unable to unlock the original iPhone due to a passcode issue, you may find the following article helpful:
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

Why won't my iPhone 4s remember my home wifi connection?
My iPhone 4s connects to wifi but doesn't remember the connection. How can I get it to remember after shutting it off?
It's pretty frustrating because I just got it and was downloading apps. I came home and connected to the wifi(we have no password) and it showed I was connected I put it in sleep mode and an hour later got an email 90% of my AT&T data had been used of my 2 gb plan when yesterday I was only at 65%. Sure enough my iPhone said 4g and not wifi. I connected easily enough again to my network but occasionally is not connected after coming from sleep mode and never connected when restarting the phone. Any ideas? The phone also doesn't have a "forget this network option" listed.
Thanks for any help.
JimMy Issue was exatly as described above at start of thread. I had my network set to "Linksys" now a unique name and....
This was exactly my issue, iphone began to remember the password. I previously didn't have the "Forget" button on the setting page, now it is there and connect automatically.
Thanks, for some good advice. -
My iPhone sensed my Verizon FIOS WiFi connection at home and I signed in. I tried playing clips from YouTube but only the first couple of seconds played, then it stopped. I signed out of WiFi and went back to the Edge connection; the clips downloaded and played in full. Anybody have any ideas?

For some reason over the last few days my macbook won't connect to my home wifi.
It keeps asking for the password and when entered just shows the connection time out message , the password hasn't changed on the router or anything , i think there was a software update last week sometime and i'm pretty sure it only started happening after this .
Any ideas ????I am also having issues connecting to my home wireless, even though other wireless networks in the area can be connected to and no other computer in my house has trouble. I tried restarting the router box but the Apple still won't work. Then I had the horror of disconnecting my apple from the charger (to get it closer to the router) and the computer shutting down in the middle of a backup
BTW, do you have a 2WIRE too? Maybe that has something to do with it.

My home WiFi connection keeps dropping, how can I fix this?
I have a MBP Mid2009 which is running on Yosemite. A couple of months ago it started giving a nosy issue: At home when connected to my home network, after being connected for 1 minute the connection drops, keeps connected to the router via WiFi but the internet drops. This only happens when the network is password protected, once, I removed the password and connection had no issues. Again this only happens at home, it is an Arris router and only happens when I assign a password.

i have an ipod touch and i have gone into my settings and connected to my home wifi. but the little bars that are supposed to come up in the top left hand corner do not appear and i cannot connect to the internet. is it my ipod? or should i look at my home wifi?
One way to isolate the problem would be to try your iPod on some other networks (Starbucks, Borders, Library, Apple store, etc.) If it does not work in those places you likely have a problem with your iPod otherwise it's likely a problem with your network.
Please provide some details on your router make/model, security type being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), any MAC address filtering configured and whether you are using static IPs or DHCP. -
I find that I am almost always using my 4G connection at home, versus my Wi-Fi. My laptop and tablet don't seem to have this problem, just my S3.
I am spending a lot of time shutting off/restarting my phone,. turning wi-fi on/off, re-entering password to restart the wi-fi connection, only to get the message 'unable to connect to wi-fi' again.
what's up?I know how important it is to use wifi to cut down on cellular data CDPEE! Have you tested your device on more than one wifi connection? How about other wireless devices on your home wifi? When did this start?

I have just purchased an ipad 2 (already have an ipad1) and after syncing through itunes it will not connect to my home wifi. The first one connected immediately after setup. This one indicates my wifi accpimt bit states not connected. Help!
What make, model and version router do you have?
Is MAC address filtering turned ON in your router?
Do you have a limit on the number of connections set in your router?
What type of security are you using, i,e, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
Have you tried restarting your router? (remove power for 30 seconds and restart)
Does your iPad 2 work on any other networks? Starbucks, Borders, etc
