Apple network vs wifi

Seems like I am able to use a wifi network other than my own to connect to the internet.
When I try to connect using my apple network with password using ethernet cable broadband the system does not connect. Yet when I chose a network like LINKSYS on my apple tv I can connect to the internet easily. Why is that?

What do you mean Apple network? A base station? if so which one? There are 5 out there. You have the two time machine backup N-routers, the reular n router, the g UFO router and the airtunes router.
make sure you have the correct password, and the router is setup correctly.
Reset the router and see if you can connect to it without security. make sure you turn security back on when the test is over.

I cannot access my Apple TV in WiFi mode. I have used it previously, but it keeps saying it is not connected to the network. My broadband is running. I was able to access Apple TV using an Ethernet cable. I have entered the password as confirmed by my ISP

I cannot access my Apple TV in WiFi mode. I have used it previously, but it keeps saying it is not connected to the network. My broadband is running. I was able to access Apple TV using an Ethernet cable. I have entered the wireless password as confirmed by my ISP without any success.

Hi,
Thanks for trying to solve my problem. It appears that the password I was inserting was incorrect. I now have access.
Thanks again.

Compatibility between windows 8 and apple networks?

Hi,
I have a apple network set up at my parent's house that has worked marvelously for the past years. THe network has a time capsule and two airport express. Unfortunately not everyone at my house is an apple user, and my stepdad just got a new HP laptop with Windows 8 and it doesn't seem to be connecting properly to the wifi network.
ANy idea why this is? is it a problem with the firmware? windows 8? the airports? the time capsule?
Thanks!

Windows does not handle the names that apple tends to default to.. so make sure all names are..
short.. 10-20 characters
no spaces.. they are not valid in windows networking
pure alphanumeric.. the apple default is to use apostrophe.. not at all liked by windows.
That unfortunately means a full reset of the whole system if it is non-compliant.
A different solution is to simply buy a cheap wireless router.. say TP-Link WDR3600, which is about $80 here.. and probably cheaper in US.. or even cheaper model, like 1043ND.. which is about $50 and run it as AP only plugged into the TC by ethernet.

Apple says small number of Apple TVs have WiFi issues, opens replacement program

I have an AppleTV 3rd generation with issues of connectivity when I use the Radio. Every 10 or 15 minutes disconnects from showing an error on the screen, I research on the internet and apparently there is a program to replace some devices due a known malfuncion with the WiFi.
I always blamed to my cheap router and the poor internet connection I had in my former country Argentina. Now i moved to Chile and i have a nice Cisco/Linksys router and the issue persists.
Please check the links below about the replacement program:

http://9to5mac.com/2013/04/15/apple-says-small-number-of-apple-tvs-have-wifi-iss ues-opens-replacement-program/
I would like to know if this program exists and also if my device is under this program.
The serial number of my AppleTV is C0*****RHN.
<Edited by host>

That program was from over a year ago, it is no longer running. It still required proper troubleshooting to occur. It wouldn't have to do with an internet connection as this an issue with the local/wifi network, a cheap router will impact performance but there are other factors.
Using ethernet will help to see if there's a wifi issue. Get a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar, look for signal strength and noise.
If your network looks ok then I would take to Apple for testing, if it is found to be defective then they are usually good about replacement.

Just got back from the Apple store RE: wifi problems. No fix in sight.

I took my iPad into the Apple store this afternoon because of the wifi issues I've been having. The problem I'm having is that the connection frequently drops and I get a message that says "Incorrect Wifi Password". This has been happening a TON lately and is getting really annoying.
The genius at the Apple store tested my iPad on their network and couldn't replicate the problem. Therefore, he concluded that the iPad is not defective. He talked a lot about router technology and basically said that every other router and network other than what's at the Apple store is old technology, that's why it doesn't work. This is an unacceptable answer. He offered no fix or remedy for the problem.
I asked him if Apple is working on a remedy and he said they are NOT because there is NO PROBLEM.
Judging by what I've read on here and experienced, there IS A PROBLEM APPLE!
Since he was convinced that my device is functioning properly and also that Apple is not going to provide a fix or update to address the wifi issues, I asked about the return policy. He said I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A RESTOCKING FEE BECAUSE MY DEVICE IS NOT DEFECTIVE! <--- can you tell I'm yelling??!!
I asked him to help me understand how a device is not defective that can't function as intended on any network other than an Apple network. He said if my iPad works in the store, it's not defective and I'd have to pay the 10% restocking fee.
This is really really not what I expected from Apple, not at all. Since the Apple genius told me that Apple doesn't recognize that this is a problem, and that Apple is NOT working on a fix for it, I am going to return my device to Best Buy this afternoon.
I'm really not happy about this because I really love this device, but it's just not usable if it keeps dropping connections.
I'm having a sad Friday.

Good heavens, I can understand why you're having a bad day - and in essence you are absolutely right, if your iPad doesn't work with your network and other devices do, then the iPad is the problem. After all, if you go to Starbucks, a hotel, airport, hotspots provided by cities or any vendors, you can't ask them to replace their routers if you can't connect. It's not your job to resolve infrastructure problems, but it is Apple's to ensure the device is compatible with the infrastructure which exists.
However:

I would urge you not to believe this genius speaks for Apple as an authority on the subject. Even if right at this moment, the more complaints, calls and returns they have for wifi faults, the more they will react to the problem, because they have no choice. What they generally won't do (based on past experience) is announce publicly that there is a problem, but it doesn't mean they are not collecting and reviewing data and researching potential solutions.
So, before you return your iPad - and might face the debate on restocking fees - call Apple and discuss the problem, if necessary escalating the call to the next tier up until you get someone who can help you work through it, or arrange for a timely replacement, or a return without you having to face a penalty. Apple are typically very good in customer service, as the surveys show, but that isn't always the case in the early stages of a fault where the issues are not yet clear.
Good luck!

Sync iPad with an internal network via WIFI and file exchange?

Hi all,
Our architects firm is currently trying to cut down on its paper waste. One sollution we are exploring is a system by which Ipad's can be synced with our internal file network (via wifi), we can download onto an Ipad PDF files which can be viewed, annotated and reuploaded via the network. It would be essential that the network is internal and isn't an icloud type of thing. Is such a system possible?
Thanks

This will give you access to the documents. You are own your own about version control.
Configure WebDave on your server. The WebDave protocol has replaced FTP in Apple's world.
This thread has good info.

Look in the app store for accessing Windows File servers.
for example:

I don't know about upload though.

Hello my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi

Hello to all, with my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi. This only happens if I apply protection to the network. Unprotected my Iphone connects fine. Obviously the password to write error-free. I can not figure out what depends on this factor, however, another iphone connects fine. Help me please.

I have a similar,but slightly different problem. My iphone 4 recgonizes my home wifi and shows it under Settings, but will not access it, no signal shown, just 3G. It will access other wifi signals. My wife's iphone works fine, as does an ipad and macbook. This is new for my iphone, about 2-3 days.
Help! I reset network settings and rebooted the router (Apple), no avail

I have a MAC, Apple TV and wifi. My ex gave my neighbor the password and now I want to change the password. How do I change my Wifi password so I don't mess up my Apple TV?

I have a MAC, Apple TV and wifi. My ex gave my neighbor the password to my wifi and now I want to change the password so she can't access my network any more. How do I change my Wifi password so I don't mess up my Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't do that, you'll need to change the password on your Wi-Fi and then change the settings on the Apple TV to log into your network again using the new password.

How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network?

How do I add an Airport Extreme with Time Capsule to an existing non-Apple network? I have an ISP provided wireless Router that has to remain as the base station. I am able to join my 1/2TB Airport Extreme and Airport Express to the network, but I can't access/use Time Machine.

One option would be to connect the Time Capsule (TC) to the ISP-provided wireless router by Ethernet. You can then configure the for a roaming network. Then, depending on what your goal is for the AirPort Express, you can either: 1) Add it to roaming network, 2) Configure the TC & the Express for an "extended" network, or 3) Configure the Express to "join" the roaming network for AirPlay.

Apple Network No Longer Connects To Internet After 6 Weeks.

This morning I was connected to the internet via Apple Network. However, after work I couldn't connect to the Apple Network. Eventually, I started experimenting and I switched internet connections. Now, I can make an internet connection using a connection by the name of "000D...BF60."
I'm connected via an ethernet. I have Airport On.
My question: Is it normal for the internet connection to switch from an Apple Network to another network?
No idea why it changed like this. Apple Network still doesn't work and I was using it since I started with Mac 6 weeks ago.
Thanks.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

My question: Is it normal for the internet connection to switch from an Apple Network to another network?
No.
You are probably connecting to a neighbor's wireless network. Unplug your base station and see if the network remains.

when i use i pad with apple tv for see my photo,youtube and movies all ok.

I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

IPhone 5 pixelated images in various apps problem- occurred within last 2 months and must be a result of apple network driver update

iPhone 5 pixelated images in various apps problem- occurred within last 2 months and must be a result of apple network driver update
What's the fix?
Tried reset, restart, reboot, reopen of apps same problem

What do you mean by reboot? Do you mean restore? Because if you haven't restored, then that's the next step. You'll need a computer with the latest version of iTunes and a USB connector.
