BB 9300 won't detect Wifi

Hi,
I am wondering why my BB 9300 won'z detect any wifi networks. Even if I set up an ad-hoc network without security on my laptop and have the BB right next to it, it would not detect any wifi networks, which is kind of strange.
I run OS 6, all other data services, mobile ones, are working just fine.
Any ideas?

Hello, I don't think ad-hoc Computer - Computer networks will work. Are you sure that it will not detect any networks at all? Or only your own Wi-Fi network?
I hear that changing the WI-Fi settings on the router to WPA2-PSK may help your device connect.
Let me know if it works

Curve 9300 won't use wifi service

So I am not the first person to have this problem. I've been trawling the web searching for solutions but no-one seems to have any.
The problem is that my Curve 9300 will not use wifi connection instead of network data services. I can connect to wifi networks just fine. The phone searches the networks out, connects, puts the little icon on the home screen to say it's connected to a wifi network. It lists the name of the network up the top. Everything's great, except that when you actually go to use the internet, the phone connects to your data services instead of the wifi and you get charged for data consumption.
If you turn off the network services to try and force the phone to connect to the wifi instead, you get the error message:
"You are not currently in an area that can handle data communication. As a result, the Browser cannot retrieve any web pages. Please try again when you are in a different location, or contact your service provider if the problem persists."
To confirm:
My Data Services are on.
My APN settings are disabled.
In Advanced Options, my Default Browser Configuration is set to Hotspot browser.
In General Properties the default browser is Hotspot browser.
In Browser Configuration, the browser is set to AT&T Mobile Web. I have tried to change it to Hotspot Browser but I save the changes and leave the screen, then when I go back in to check, it's back to AT&T again. It's not saving the changes to make Hotspot the default configuration.
I did a battery pull to see if that would help and after the restart it allowed me to keep Hotspot as the default configuration but it still wouldn't connect if the mobile service was turned off. It has now reverted itself back to AT&T and still won't work.
I have read the thread on the Bold forum but for all the people complaining of having the same issue, there was still no solution. I really want a resolution to this because I do a lot of travelling and my sim card can not always connect to a local network. I want to be able to go to a local coffee shop and be able to connect, even if I don't have phone service in a foreign airport. I don't understand what the point is in having wifi on a phone if you can't use it.
Solved!

Won't detect wifi unless manually set

Over the past month or so, my wifi at home is not detected unless I manually go to settings and ask it to look for the network. Only at that time does it look for it. I've tried resetting but this doesn't really do anything different. Any work around?

Hello. Sorry to hear your having this issue. Posted below is some troubleshooting that may assist you with this issue today.
1. Settings- WiFi- make sure ask to join networks is turned on.
When this is on and it spots your network for the first time. It will put in on your list of approved networks. So if you walk out of your house and come back in, It should auto connect back to that network.
This setting is only turned off when you know your only going to be in certain areas, and already logged onto those networks at least once. So your not annoyed by all the open and secure networks in the area, and to conserve battery life.
2. Setting- General- Reset- Reset Network Settings, Confirm see if this fixes the issue. You will of course need to log onto your network at least once. Anytime after this as long as WiFi is on it should auto connect to that network assuming no other networks are in range that have a stronger signal and that you approved of before.
3. Settings- WiFi- if your network has a check mark. Tap on the blue circle. and Tap on Forget this network. Confirm. Reconnect to your network. And see if it will always auto connect when you leave range and come back into range. You may need to go a couple blocks down from your house for the signal to break and hit over to EDGE
4. Reboot the iPhone. Hold down the Home Button and the Sleep/Wake/Unlock Button till you see a Apple Logo. Then let go. And retest your WiFi
5. As a last and final step. Restore the iPhone. Please ensure you backup all Data before you do this. And ensure the data is on your Mac/PC so it can be Synced back to iPhone.
Best of Luck. Let us know how it goes.

MacBook Pro lost and now won't detect wifi in the house - HELP!

I'm using a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. I'm staying at a friend's home which provides wifi via Shaw Cable. We've been here for a week. When we arrived the MacBook detected the wifi in the house and I was able to sign in without any difficulty. Suddently, today in the middle of a web chat with a customer service provider, the connection was lost. When I attempt to reconnect it detects other networks but not the one in the house. I've rebooted the MacBook, rebooted the modem, turned airport on and off, deleteted all remembered networks (then rebooted), attempted to manually enter the network name and password all without success.
Other devices are connected: my iPad and a Windows PC. I can connect the MacBook via ethernet and it works. So I know the connection and modem are working.
Most solutions I've see talk about resetting either the channel (to 11) or changing some other setting on the modem. Since this is not my house or system, I don't have access to the modem settings. Nor do those solutions make sense since I was connect for 6 days without any issues.
Does anyone have any idea how to get the MacBook to detect the network again?

Might be corrupted network preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Turn off the base station for about ten seconds then turn it back on.
Then try Wi-Fi.
Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

Sometimes will, sometimes won't detect wifi (anywhere!)

As the subject says, sometimes my phone (3G) will find my wifi (after I do a reboot of it by holding the home and power buttons in) other times no matter what I try, it only says "Could not scan for wireless networks." Since every time it goes into sleep mode, it disconnects from my wifi, I tend to lose that connection and then have to just get lucky in getting it back. I live in the middle of nowhere so I'm only on the Edge network. This makes things mighty slow. We have 2 iphones in the house, one is a GS3 and mine the 3G. The GS connects to the network along with every other wireless device. If it wasn't a sometimes on, sometimes off I would say it might be the network, but even when I'm at work, it will not scan for networks there either. Any suggestions other than throwing it against a wall? I've tried searching for remedies but only found that this has persisted for other users since at least 2009 with no one offering a real remedy.
I have tried:
Rebooting
Turning off 3G
Resetting all networks
Turning on then off airplane mode
Trying to manually join the network
Rebooting again
Updating firmware
Rebooting yet again
Checked to see that it does indeed have a wifi mac address (it does)
I'm out of ideas and would really like to have my phone work like it is suppose to.
Thanks

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

My iPod 5 won't detect wifi

This issue started when my iPod got accidentally restored ( because I was doing a system update from the computer, then I disconnected the iPod by accident and bam) , this happened in this February
I may not have noticed at all but it seems like it gets worse as time goes by. However I did not experience this issue right after the restoration...
My house is quite large, it has 4 floors. The routers are in the basement...Therefore I stared realizing that I have to go to the basement
To support my point that the iPod is a problem and not the router, all my siblings other apple devices like laptops and iPads connect normally and you can connect with them anywhere in the house!
But it got even worse this month because I have to stand EXACTLY near my router, not anywhere in the basement. And that is ridiculously annoying.
I tried so many things like resetting network settings, resetting all settings, restoring, turning off, forgetting network and many many more
My iPod is currently updated to IOS 6.1.3
I even went to the apple store and they are the ones who suggested to try and reset the network settings...still nothing as said above!
But please may somebody please help me with this issue it's hitting my nerves, I can't continue going to my cold basement to use my iPod!

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)

Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Start with the section titled Check the network.

My iphone 4s won't detect any wifi networks.

Hi
My iPhone 4s won't detect any wireless networks. It was working fine until last night when the connection dropped int he middle of me watching a programme. At first I thought it was our router, but I reset that about 5 times, and all other devices are working fine on it. The phone won't detect any other networks either - if I ask to join a network it comes up with the message "could not scan for wireless networks". I have tried resetting the network settings as suggested on the support page, but it hasn't worked. Can anybody help? Thank you.

If no change after resetting network settings on the iPhone, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

Mac book pro can detect wifi but not DNS server

MMy Mac book pro will detect the wifi at school but it won't detect the DNS server meaning that I cannot access the internet! Help!

If the Mac connects to the Wi-Fi network but webpages do not finish loading while using Safari, it may be a DNS issue, try the following:
System Preferences>Network>Select Wi-fi on the left and click on "Advanced..">select DNS tab>add 8.8.8.8 bellow DNS servers>click on OK then Apply.
If thats not the case, please specify to us why you think the mac does not recognize DNS server.

N80 - WLAN at home won't detect, but I've used out...

Hi guys, I need help...
I have a got new N80, and the WLAN feature was one of my most high expectations... I have already successfully used the WLAN feature with my new N80 on Public access points, and it works great. But at home I can't detect my home network.
I have a Linksys Modem Router (Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with Speedbooster WAG54GS), with WiFi running on "Mixed" mode.
What puzzles me is that with my laptop i can detect 2 Wireless networks, mine and my neighbour's, but with my N80 i can't detect either. I have been able to detect other private nwireless on my neighbourhood, but mine it just won't detect.
Can anyone help please???

I could really use your help on this one... THanks!

Switched what off and on, Wi-Fi in Settings, the iPhone, the router? See this support document about troubleshooting Wi-Fi connections. If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. How do I fix?

I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor. It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work. It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).

There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.

Imac running Yosemite won't detect external display

I previously was using a 2008 iMac desktop and running OS X Yosemite. I was using dual monitors (other monitor being Insignia brand) and everything worked fine. Since this was an earlier mac version, I was using the Mini DVI to VGA Adapter to connect. Last week, I got a brand new iMac (Mid 2014 version). I am running OS X Yosemite as well, but now it won't detect any displays. I'm now using the Thunderbolt cable to connect so I wonder if that has anything to do with it. But I have used that same Thunderbolt cable before on my macbook and it worked just fine.
I've tried restarting, resetting the PRAM and everything. I don't know what else to do. Help!

Thanks for the reply, but tried everything and it still won't work. Rebooted, installed updates, cleared PRAM, everything. It will not detect the displays at all. Maybe there is something wrong with my VGA cable.

I have a MacBook Pro. My mac can detect wifi. But will not connect. I did get connected vis TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere. Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings. Red light for the rest.

Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
