1 PC out of 5 cannot all of a sudden connect to the wireless router

We are using the Actiontec MI424WR-GEN2 Rev E router. We've had up to 8 devices connected, working perfectly for over a month. Now all of a sudden my wireless desktop will not connect to the router will all the other devices still connect and access the internet with no problem what so ever. Checked to make sure no viruses or malware. I do use bitcomet on this desktop which is a P2P torrent software. Anyone have any ideas??

Are you forwarding ports? Has the router been reset? Check firewall or the security you are running on that pc.

Wireless LAN cannot connect with the wireless router with Windows 8.1

Hi,
I currently have a Lenovo V570 laptop with Windows 8.1 running on it. I cannot seem to stay connected to a wireless wifi connection for more than 10 minutes without it going "limited" and a yellow caution exclamation icon hovering over my connected wifi icon.
When it goes limited, I cannot access the internet whatsoever and it's growing increasingly frustrating. I used to have success by disconnected and reconnecting which seemed to temporarily solve the issue, but now even that is not working.
I did not have this issue (I don't believe so) when I first installed Windows 8 on this laptop a few years ago. This is an issue I've been dealing with for over a year now and only within the past 4-6 months has it been really bad.
I found this support page here which provides solutions for my problem but after attempting all of them, unfortunately none of them worked. The only time I experience no issues is when I directly connect an ethernet cord from my laptop to the router.
The wireless problem exists for all wifi connections, whether it be my university wifi, home wifi, local, etc.
Can anybody please help me out? I'd be more than happy to provide additional info to get this problem fixed once and for all.

My time capsule all of a sudden disconnected from the wireless system and can no longer be fund by my MacBook Pro. The little lamp on the the capsules has turned off, but it still makes a noice inside,

My Time capsule did a backup yesterday in the morning without any problem. All of a sudden, it disconnected from the wireles system last night and the little indicator lamp turned off. It still makes a noice, as if a disc was turning inside. The Time Capsule was bought last year in June. Any suggestiom what to do? What happens if I press the little buttom (reset?), will I loose af my backup?

Do a reset.. power off the TC..
Hold in reset and power on.. keep holding in reset until it flashes rapidly.. if it turns on at all.
If you bought it in June.. take it back today.. it is broken.. at a guess.
Some Gen4 are failing this way.. get Apple to replace it.. even if it is a few days out of warranty it won't be much.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset (we are fellow users here on these forums).

HT1688 Cannot connect to WiFi on my iOS7 devices. It shows connection to the WiFi router but does not connect to anything online. All other non-iOS7 devices are working fine. Please advise.

I am unable to connect to WiFi on my iOS7 devices. I have an iPhone 5 and a iPad. The WiFi symbol shows connection to my wireless router but no internet connection is received. My other non-iOS7 devices are connecting without any problems. I have tried resetting network settings on both devices and rebooting my router with no luck.
Please advise.

Hp photosmart c309a all in one series printer indicates the wireless radio is not functioning.

The printer has had difficulty finding the wireless router.
I had a problem with the print coming out on an angle.
I cleaned the rollers with a dry rag now the wireless radio is not functioning at all.

Try resetting the printer. Turn it off. Hold the # and 9 keys while turning it back on.
If this does not work, call HP support: www.hp.com/go/totalcare (click on Printers & Monitors, use the phone number on the resulting page).

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot connect to my wireless router

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot connect to my wireless router. I have 2 wireless networks in my home. One is the primary whuch all of my devices connect to. The other is for backup only. I cannot connect to the primary with my iMac but have no trouble with any of the other devices which include iphones and ipads.phones and iPads. I can however connect to the backup without a problem. I have tried upgrading the firmware of the router as well as changing the security from WEP to WPA-2, no luck. Can anyone help?

Try this, it's for information.
In Finder, open the Go menu, press and hold the option key, 'Library' will appear on the menu, click and scroll to Application Support, open the folder and scroll to 'AddressBook-v22.abcddb'. Click on the file and press Command-I. Towards the bottom you'll see Permissions, tell me what they are please.

Cannot connect to the wireless networking

My Toshiba Laptop was preinstalled with Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit OS, and it had been working quite well with the wireless BB. However, the wireless internet connection was on and off within recent weeks, while the other mobile devices, such as iphone, ipad, or laptop, in my household had no such problem. The wireless signal was so strong, but the error message always said 'Windows cannot connect to the wireless networking'. It seemed there was something wrong with the wireless adapter.
I got a new TP-Link wireless adapter properly installed. Luckily, this worked; but unluckily, this worked for less than 24 hours. It was really frustrating that I, as a full-time student, depended so much on wireless networking.
Please help!!! Harry

Hi there
You may want to enlighten us with:
- What model are You using (f.ex. L300-123)
- What BIOS version is installed?
- What WLAN driver are You using?
All these questions are answered in PC Diagnostics found under Toshiba app folder in the start menu.

Satellite Pro L300-1B9 cannot connect to my Wireless router

Hi!
I have activated the wireless nw on SAT L300 PRO 1B9 - but with many fight...
First I needed to find the switch to enable (I never though that it have... :-) ).
Then I needed to deinstall Atheros in Windows, and set the flags on (enable) in the Windows driver.
But in both Linux and Windows I couldn't connect to my Wireless router.
My luck was that some of my neightbours have security-disabled, open wireless network, what I could map to test.
The test was succecfully with that network, but my wireless router was unreachable.
From other machine I could reach it.
The result was:
If I set the router to broadcast the SSID, both OSs (Ubuntu + Windows) can use wireless network.
But if I disable the broadcasting (to protect my router), the network driver cannot use my router, it does not matter I pre-set the SSID...
A router is WRT54G, and it is working with other computers if I hide the SSID, but with SAT L300 Pro cannot connect (with this option).
Do anybody knows why? What I need to do to I could hide the SSID from the bad guys?
Thanks for any help!

I dont know which Windows OS do you use but if you use original Vista, I think, right WLAN driver is part of the package. So WLAN card must be installed properly.
It is not easy to say what is wrong there but if the notebook can see and detect your WLAN network on notebooks side everything must be OK. Try to restart your router and check all settings.
In my opinion there is some problem with WLAN settings.

My iPad first gen (iOS5.1.1) won't connect to my home WiFi suddenly. It's worked fine for years but just stopped. All other devices do connect to the WiFi. Now, the iPad does connect to the WiFi at my workplace. Ideas on this?

My iPad (first generation iOS5.1.1.1) quit connecting to my home WiFi recently after years of being able to. All other devices in my home connect fine. I have taken every step I can find to try and remedy things including restoring my iPad to factory settings. Still nothing - when it tries to connect to my network it just spins. I took my iPad to work and it connected to the WiFi there just fine. Came back home, no good. After talking with my local Mac supplier they've suggested that maybe my router is the cause. I've unplugged it several times for lengths of up to an hour but that still isn't getting things working again. Any ideas?

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

hi - i have an ipod and when i connect to my pc and try to update the software, its says that cannot update as im not connected to the internet even though i am. what can i do?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

My HP7280 all in one can't find my wireless router

My HP Photosmart C7280 all in one can't find my wireless router even after I enter my WEP key and ESSID. My other computer is wired into the printer and it works but not wireless. Can anyone help me?

Is the other computer wired with USB? if so that is fine. If it is wired with Ethernet, that is the source of the wireless problem.
What router? Oh, and don't use WEP, it is not in the least secure. I recommend changing your router settings to WPA, create your own password and then try to connect the printer.

What do I do if my IPad wont turn on completely and what I mean by that I see the Apple logo and I think that it is turning on and then after a while i see the loading symbol which means that it isn't frozen and then all of a sudden it shows the apple log

What do I do if my IPad wont turn on completely and what I mean by that I see the Apple logo and I think that it is turning on and then
after a while i see the loading symbol which means that it isn't frozen and then all of a sudden it shows the apple logo once more and it repeats the above

Try this first.
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.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the iOS software.

Hi, I have an iphone4 and all of a sudden none of the apps (except the ones that came with the phone) will open. The screen goes black then it goes back to the homescreen. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have an iphone 4 and all of a sudden none of the apps will work, except the ones that came with the phone. When I open them the screen goes black then it goes back to the homescreen.
Also when I plug the phone into itunes it only gives me the option to either restore or eject the phone. Up until today I never had any problems, I sync it regularly and all the software (inc itunes) is up to date. The last time I backed it up was about a month ago when I got the phone, (a replacement as my other iphone4 had loads of problems) so I don't want to have to restore it and lose everything off it!
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

Encryption wouldn't matter except for Wifi.
