Windows 8.1 in Bootcamp not recognising home network WiFi

I am running bootcamp with Windows 8.1 on my MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013. I installed it together with all drivers as suggested by bootcamp.
In Mac OS 10.9.4 I am connected to my home network and can see about 4-5 other networks (from my neighbours).
After booting into Windows, I can see the networks of my neighbours but not my network.
This connection problem occurred only recently. I have been able to connect seamlessly before.
I went through the router settings not finding any restrictions to IP- or MAC-Addresses or a/b/g settings. I tried resetting my router without any luck.
I tried uninstalling the Windows WLAN driver (also disabling), but I can still only see other peoples networks. I tried restoring to an earlier point in time without any luck.
My Kindle and my Nexus 5 connect without a problem to my home network.
Any ideas?

What finally worked was changing the channel of the router. I had my setting on auto and changed it randomly to channel 2, which worked!

    I have windows 8 and itunes is not recognising my ipod - anyone assist?

    Hi Moclam12,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPod classic is formatted for Windows, and you want to sync it with your Mac, try to force the iPod into Disk Mode and then restore it using your Mac.

  • Windows 7 64 bit will not recognise network adapter!

    Windows 7 64 bit will not recognise network adapter!

    You have an older Mac that has 32-bit EFI
    you need to use Windows 7 32-bit or modify the DVD.
    Select CD-ROM Boot prompt
    Stuck at Select CD-Rom Boot
    Hint: Windows 7 SP1 update will need 8GB free space. Windows takes at least 16-20GB. Add in page file, hibernation (each size of physical RAM). Plus any programs and data you store. Cache and temp files (1-4GB) and you get the idea. you will find you can't even login to the sytem. Seen it happen.
    old wives tale: double your best guess for how much RAM, disk space, whatever, to get a more realistic.
    REMOVE the partition using BCA and create 40GB, being sure to leave 20GB free for Mac OS X volume also.

  • Airport not recognising my network.

    Hi. I have had a peculiar problem for the last few days: Airport is not recognising my network so I can't get online via wifi. When I plug in the LAN, then I get the connection right away. Airport (Extreme) recognises other networks so it's not that it has stopped functioning and my wife (who uses the Windows O/S) connects via wifi through our network. I have tried shutting down everything and startng up again after a gap of 5-10 minutes. That seemed to work once but hasn't since. I've tried uninstalling my network, removing any links on the keychain and then reinstalling, all to no avail. I have a 13" Macbook aluminium body which is still under the 3-year warranty period. Before I approach Apple Support, is there something that I should do? I have a feeling that somehow this can be resolved fairly easily, but then I admit to not being a computer expert by any means. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. 

    If there is nothing connect or using to the airport express, you can try to reset the airport express back to standard.
    And the default password is "public" if I am not mistaken.
    And see if your MacBook can connect using that open wireless connection.
    Good Luck.

  • Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered  not accepted

    Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted
    Trying to help my son set up his ipod touch to connect to the network and the password I entered is not accepted.
    1. Which password is required? I entered the password I use for logging into my router
    2. The home network is recognized, when selected it requires a password to be entered, but I am just not sure what password it is looking for to connect.
    I have not been able to find any information on this subject

    jersey0904, Welcome to the discussion area!
    You need to enter the wireless encryption password... not the administrative password for the router.

  • Windows 8.1 on bootcamp not updating ?

    trying to install windows updates on windows 8.1 on my macbook pro but its just sitting at 0% complete after at least running for hour and half ???? any ideas what this is ? its been like this for days trying to install 11 updates ?

  • TS1363 I have itunes in windows 8 but it does not recognise my ipod. Any tips on getting it to work and be able to Sync?

    I have itunes installed on my computer, I have a new laptop with windows 8. It does not seem to recognise my ipod and therefore I cannot sync it. Any ideas on how to rectify this?

    Error -69 suggests a possible problem with the source files on your computer. Check the source disk for errors and backup if you don't already do so. See HT1210: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod for more details.
    The SyncToy backup program is also a good way to identify exactly which files cannot be read. Repeated runs may succed in copying files which won't copy over on the first attempt.
    See also Corrupt iPod classic.
    It may also help to disable any AV software while syncing or set exclusions on the media folder and the iPod's drive.

  • Macbook and Windows 7 PC sharing files on a home network

  • Powerbook does not see home network

    Hi, my powerbook has simply stopped seeing ANY networks in my apartment. I have an iMac G5 and a Desktop G4 and they both see my airport express and my neighbors networks no problem. I took the laptop into a store the other day and it saw the store's network immediately and worked fine - i took laptop home and it worked for about 5 mins before shutting off again. Very odd. Can anyone help? All three machines are running 10.4.3
    Many thanks,
    Carl
    PowerBook G4 titanium   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Can't test this out here at home, but I did some searching and found:
    http://guides.macrumors.com/NetworkingWindows_with_Mac_OSX
    as well as:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1359723&tstart=0
    The main thing what seems to be the case here is that you need to identify on your Mac what the Windows workgroup name is you use.
    You do this as follow:
    System Preferences (under the Apple icon) -> select the network adapter you use to connect to your network, I will assume here because its a laptop that you use wireless, so make sure "Airport" is selected. At the bottom you will also see a small lock (left-bottom corner), make sure it is unlocked and if not click on it to unlock it. Now click on "Advanced" to go to the advanced configuration of your Airport and there click on the WINS tab. For WorkGroup, enter the Workgroup name of your home network. If you don't know what it is, then on your Windows computer right-click on "My computer", click on "Properties" and then go to the "Computer Name" tab. It will tell you there.
    So enter that workgroup name on the Mac, click on OK and then on "Apply". Wait for a little while and then in the Finder sidebar (on the left), under Shared you should see your Windows PCs appear.
    If you do not see the Shared in the sidebar, go to the Preferences of the Finder (Finder -> Preferences), go the the Sidebar pane and make sure "Connected Servers" and "Bonjour" are selected.
    If it works then I would suggest you go and also do this for your Ethernet network adapter as the WINS setting would not be filled in there yet, this will ensure that when you connect your MPB using wired that you will still have the Windows stuff.
    Hope this helps, sadly not something I can test here so I hope that my information is accurate.

  • IMac not finding home networked computers anymore

    My iMac, and my powerbook, have always, up to recently, been able to see the PC's in my home network but now cannot. Interestingly enough, since those computers are under the recent list in the Apple menu, if I click on them in the recents list, I can connect to them. But what happens if for some reason the recents list becomes cleared or corrupt?
    Basically, why can't browse servers to find those computers anymore? No changes that I am aware of have been made to my home network.
    Thanks

    This has to be a bug in the current OS version... it certainly wouldn't have been my choice if I were a product manager at Apple. This is a problem that I think many recent "switchers" have encountered and I would like to know how to resolve it so it makes sense. Here's my nightmare:
    I'm 99.9% sure that at one time, that my transition PC (LoL) showed up in the sidebar, and it showed up by name... not IP address. Same goes for my ThinkPad notebook, the LinkSys print server, and my wife's PC. So, what I think happened is that perhaps I clicked on the triangle in the sidebar and "collapsed" or eliminated the "Shared" section. There does not seem to be a way to restore the "Shared" nomenclature in that sidebar... or if there is, it's evading me.
    I can "connect" to the missing PCs by using the workaround suggested by Warren, but I still think that one should be able to see these "gone missing" PCs under a shared heading in the sidebar. I can walk over to the PC in question, and simply use Windows Explorer, click on Network, and BAM! I can see my iMac, the ThinkPad, the PrintServer, my wife's PC and so on. Click on any of them and shared directories are presented for transferring files around the house in an instant. So it irks me that my wonderful iMac has given me an obstacle course instead of an easy to navigate network solution.

  • My iphone joins home network, wife's will not

    My wife and I recently bought new iPhone 3gs. Mine connects automatically to our secured home network (after I put the name and password into my iPhone).
    Set my wife's up the same, but her's will not connect to our home network. Under Settings-->Wi-Fi it shows she is connected to our home network, but it still shows 3G at the top of the phone.
    Under the network's info, her IP Address and Subnet Mask are totally different from mine. She has nothing listed for Router or DNS. I do.
    Not sure what is going on. We have two iPhones and two laptops and everything connects fine to the router except for her phone.
    She thinks she has connected to other networks, but is not sure.
    Anyone have any advice? Thanks.

    It's possible it could be this problem (if you are running firmware 2.2), which Apple seems to be completely ignoring:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1680864&tstart=0
    Does your wife's phone occasionally look as if it has a connection, which then drops really quickly. Can it sometimes not even see your home network? And are there times when it just says "unable to connect to {network name}"?

  • Not displaying home network

    Hi all,
    Just come back to UK after 4 weeks away and my iPhone will not return to my home network but keeps displaying tmobile Hungary.
    When going into carrier settings I have changed it to o2 UK and automatic selection but still it displays t mobile Hungary on the main screen.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    Cheers

    Well, I'm not sure of any other solution. You can try to go to settings, general, reset and reset network settings to see if that would help, however that would reset all of your network settings, including any saved wifi settings.
    The only other solution that I can think of would be to contact your carrier (O2) and see if they can answer that question. Maybe someone else from the UK that has traveled can chime in and see if they know a solution.

  • IPhone Can not see home network

    Ok, I have read a lot of strings about Wii issues and I have tried the following:
    - Unplugged (rebooted) my cable modem
    - Unplugged (rebooted) my Airport Extreme
    - Rebooted my iPhone multiple times
    - Turned on and off the Airplane Mode to re-search for WiFi connections.
    - Searched manually for the connection (typing in name and password)
    - Turned off the WAP/WAP2 Personal security
    but nothing seems to work. I can not view my home network on my WiFi.
    I can see all my neighbors networks and the phone works great on free networks around town but my home network will not show up.
    My home network does work on my laptop though.
    Any thoughts?

    Nathan:
    Great suggestion. I changed it to 802.11 n (with b/c compatability) and I can now see the network on my iphone and I can log in (I think).
    I chose the network from the list and put in the password. The first couple of times it did not take but the 3rd or 4th time it seemed to log on. If I go to Settings and look in the Wi-Fi area it has my network name as the network it is logged into but...
    There is no WiFi symbol on the top bar of the phone (only an E, for the Edge network) and when I chose any application (Safari, YouTube, etc.) it only accesses through the Edge network.
    Any other thoughts?
