My laptop wirelessly detects my homehub but can't ...

It's the same for my PS3 and phone. Every once in a while my wireless devices can't connect to the homehub, even though they can usually still detect it. They can connect wirelessly about 60 - 70 % of the time. The wired internet always works perfectly. My laptop works perfectly in other buildings with different routers. What could be causing this?

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Have you tried to connect with wireless elsewhere? It "could" be the homehub at fault but very much doubt it, more than likely you are getting some form of interference on the wireless channel of the hub.
One thing that you could do is to download a small program called inSSIDer. This will show a graphical display of all the wireless channels available (there are only 13 to choose from) maywell be that another wireless router in your locality is on the same or adjacent channel.
My advice would be to observe what routers are using what channels over a period of a few days (many routers can change channels automatically), make a note of unused channels and then change yours to a free one.
Details here on how to change the homehub channel.
Other forms of interference are video senders, microwave ovens

  • My iPhone no longer works with my wi-fi network.  It detects the network but can't communicate, even though it did so until today for months.

    My iPhone no longer works with my wi-fi network.  It detects the network but is unable to communicate, even though until today it worked great for months.  The network is Verizon FiOS Internet on an M1424WR router.  PCs and iPad continue to work with the same network without any problem.  Any ideas?

    have you upgraded to the new ios5 software? if so that could be the issue and contact apple.

  • HP laserjet Pro 300 m375nw Wireless printing is fine but "can't find scanner"

    I have recently got an HP Laser Jet Pro colour MFP M375nw.
    It installed perfectly on both my Win 7 laptop and on my Mac and I can print wirelessly without issues from either device or from tablets and phones.
    however, when I try and scan it says it can't communicate with the printer.
    When I try and run any utility (Hp print and scan doctor,  device toolbox, etc.) it says that it can't communicate with the scanner/printer.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled but am at a loss how to fix this. Any ideas please?

  • Laptop is connected to router but can't access any...

    Hi Everyone
    A BT engineer came yesterday to set up BT Infinity broadband in my laptop and everything worked fine until this morning.
    When I switched on my laptop and my router, the icon on the bottom right hand corner of my laptop screen indicates that I'm connected to my router but when I try to open up Internet Explorer to access any website, it says that the page can't be displayed. I've tried switching both my laptop and router on and off to no avail. I'm on Windows 7 and have an HP Pavilion g6 laptop. My router is connected wirelessly to my laptop. I can surf the net with my iPad with no problems at all which suggests that the problem is with my laptop but I have no idea what the problem is and how to fix it! Has anyone come across this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    It could be that your computer has IPv6 selected. Try disconnecting it as follows:
    Select Start
    In the search field type.ncpa.cpl and press enter.
    In the new window right click on your wireless network connection and select properties
    In “This connection uses the following items” section remove the tick beside Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) then press OK
    Left click on Internet Protocol IPv4, click properties . Check the options to obtain IP address and DNS server address automatically.
    Once done try and connect to Internet.
    Also make sure that your Wireless Network card has up to date drivers. Check on the Laptop or Network card manufatures website rather than using Windows which can be out of date. 

  • Wireless On and Connected, But Can't Do Anything

    The Wireless connection is through a Wireless-G router.  Everything seems ok, I have no problems connecting to it through my Gateway Tablet/Laptop.  But when I try to open up a website, or open up a internet based communication program, I can't get anything to happen.  Its like the connection is on, but nothing will happen or work through the internet.
    I've tried resetting the router, and pulling the power for a few seconds, and plugging it back in, but that hasn't worked.  I've messed with the firewalls, but that has had no success either.  I am on the main computer in the house right now, and the internet connection is just fine on here, but just can't do anything with the Net on my laptop.
    Anybody have an idea as to what could be the problem?  Cuz im just vexed over the whole situation.

    when i try to go to a webpage...it just appears as though it is not connected, when in fact, my computer is "connected" to the wireless router.  just won't do anything.  no error message or anything.  and there isn't like a low activity message either.

  • My laptop won't see internet, but can see the network

    I have Comcast internet service. The Modem is connected to my AirPort Extreme (n + gig-e) and the ethernet is distributed with a linksys gig-e switch. My PowerBook can still see the internet via a wireless connection (g) and the G4 PowerMac can still see the internet via Ethernet through the switch and router, but the MacBook Pro cannot see the internet using either the wired or wireless connection. It gets an IP address (MAC reservation) from the AE and it can connect to the other computers on the network, but it is not seeing the internet. I am assuming there is something screwy happening to the AE because the MacBook Pro connects to the internet just fine when I take it to work and my friend's PC laptop had the same problem on my home network.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me nuts!

    Seems like it is a DNS issue of some kind.
    I changed the MacBook DNS servers to a bunch of public ones and now it seems to be working again.
    I found them here: http://www.tech-faq.com/public-dns-servers.shtml

  • I can see my wireless printer in devices, but can't get it to print

    I have a new MacBook Air and cannot get it to print to my existing wireless printer. I can see it in Devices and Printers, but it just cycles on "Connecting to Printer" then times out.

    Hello there sjbrosjbro,
    It sounds like you are not able to print to your printer because it keeps timing out when you try. I would use the troubleshooting steps from the following article to help you get that printer going again. It may be something as simple as re adding the printer if you've already restarted both the printer and the computer already:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147
    USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • 2 laptops, 2 libraries, home sharing but can't sync both libraries

    My husband's laptop has 'home library'. My laptop has 'on this PC'. Through home sharing we can see all songs from both libraries, but I can't sync my ipod from 'home library' and he can't sync from 'on this PC' which has all the newly purchased songs. There must be a way to get access to all our combined songs. Help!

    I was thinking I would need to do a new backup from his library and re-download purchased stuff.  (Making sure that I have deleted all previous backups on the external hard-drive to make sure I don't use the wrong one again!!)  As you have probably guessed I'm not that PC-savvy so I don't know if I would trust myself to paste it in the correct place.  Will set aside a couple of hours tomorrow to redo the backup and re-download the songs.
    Thanks very much for your fast responses here. Much appreciated! Wish me luck

  • My iMac will detect Airport Express but can't read configuration? Any Suggestions?

    I bought an Airport Express about 3 weeks ago.  I brought it home and set it up no problems. It was replacing an older Netgear router that gave me nothing but IP adress problems. When I bought the Express I didn't realize that DirecTV had wired a connection to my Netgear router, so now I have no way to connect my DirecTV recievers to the internet without purchasing some wifi adapter which I don't want to do.  I tried to run the cable from my modem to the Netgear router, than out from the router to the DirecTV box and another to my Aiport Express for wifi. That is where the problems started. I couldn't get anything to connect correctly, ended up switching the express to "Bridge Mode" and it seemed to work. Only I didn't have Internet, though the light was green. I tried restarting everything but to no avail.  So, I tried a reset on the Airport Express and now I have nothing.  My iMac will detect the Airport Express but when I click continue to configure it simply says "Trying to read Airport Configuration", which eventually leads to an error and nothing. Any idea what my problem could be?

    Thanks. I really should have gotten back earlier. Sorry about that.
    I have stopped trying to use the Airport Express. I am convinced that it just doesn't work as a device to use for Internet sharing with other computers or iPod Touches that are using Airport. I find that I can easily connect just by turning on Airport and Internet sharing on my iMac and creating a Network. When I do that my iPod connects immediately and I can use all the Internet applications.
    But a Time Capsule is in my sights, and I'll use that when they finally roll out.

  • My mini iPad won't sync to laptop. Says needs update, but can't figure out where to update it.

    My mini iPad won't sync to my laptop, also a Mac. When I plug it in it says it needs to be updated, but I can't figure it out.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help post back with more specifics on what is happening. Describe any error messages you get.

  • I have purchased a new laptop & want to reinstall PS11 but can't find the discs, can I download

    Is there anyway I can download a previously installed version of PS11 on to my new laptop, I have misplaced the windows install discs, I will be selling my old laptop so all apps will be removed before sale and the drive will be erased

    I am not sure what PS11 stands for, but....
    You can likely download the trial version of the software thru the site linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.  If you do not have the disks then you hopefully registered the software with Adobe so that you might find the serial number thru your online account.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

  • Using router and USB wireless on same machine but can't browse

    Hello, everybody.
    I have a WRT54G connected to my desktop to enable a laptop to exchange files with me.
    Also have a WUSB54G on the same machine to connect to a local hotspot.
    Problem is I lose the ability to browse the net when the router is connected.
    Does anyone know how to configure this setup so the web browser (IE6) will look for the internet through the USB adaptor instead of trying to go through the router?

    Are you able to go online, when your computer is connected directly to the router?? also your laptop is able to go online?? If computer is running on Win XP…. you need to completely uninstall wireless adapter from computer click on start >> programs >> wireless G USB adapter >> uninstall, insert the CD for adapter and restart the computer, one window would pops up found new hardware, install only the drivers no need to install software or utility and use WZC to manage wireless connections…check whether it works or not.  

  • Always had no problem syncing iPod but now when I connect to computer it says iTunes detects a device but can't verify properly. Nothing is appearing under devices or on right hand side it's not saying "privates iPod" anymore to drag songs to.? Help

    iPod not verified properly in iTunes a device is detected. Then on right hand side of computer screen doesn't say privates iPod anymore to drag songs to from my library ? Under devices nothing is ther ? Always had no problem? iPod doesn't even beep when plugged in or automatically backup anymore because iTunes sees a device but not sure what it is? What happened? I've tried 3 different cords too!

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - See if another computer sees the iPod in iTunes
    - 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.
