TS1398 I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else. No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else? No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

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

Setting up bt home hub with airport extreme and timecapsule

Hi I am running BT Broadband direct into a BT Home Hub (Black version) then ethernet into an airport extreme.
Timecapsule then extending the apple network and an iMac ethernet into the timecapsule
Various other macbooks, iPhones,iPads, iPods and apple tv wirelessly linked in. (and an hp multifunction printer)
The network seems very slow and unstable - any suggestions on how to tune it?
Thanks
Nigel

Introducing wireless repeater or bridge causes double hopping wireless. It greatly reduces speed and efficiency of wireless. I am not 100% sure I understand your arrangement. But there are limited wireless channels and the result of many wireless devices fighting each other is bad.
1. Do you have wireless turned off in the Home Hub? Please do unless it is providing important connections.
2. What mode is the AEBS running in? Because with BT you must use the home hub as a router, you should have the AEBS bridged. Is that the case?
3. Wireless extending networking adds issues as stated. Get rid of this. The best method is to link the TC and AEBS by alternative.. ie ethernet is the best by huge margin. If you cannot do this in your house then use EOP adapters. They are not foolproof but if they work, they keep working with reliability and stabilty and speed that wireless cannot match. You can then run the AEBS and TC as roaming WAP, by using different channels but same SSID (wireless name), and security settings and passwords.

Can I replace a home hub with a decent adsl modem?

I have several PCs, laptops, an internet TV, a couple of apple TVs, ipads, phones etc in my house and am fed up with them not communicating properly.
So after reading how reliable they were, and given the fact I have somehow become an apple fanboi without meaning to, I opted for an airport extreme.
The intention is to use this to create my wireless network & have the homehub just deal with the broadband... sadly it seems this is not possible. I can't disable the wireless on the homehub and supposedly I need to have it to deal with assigning IPs.
I could live with this if it works, but it still causes issues - computer to computer communication is flawless, as I hoped, but the internet is patchy.
I am sooo fed up with this it is not true - not including the time wasted with homeplug networking & airport express too - I want to bin the POS that is the home hub and have complete control over my setup. I don't need a stupid broadband phone and I don't use FON!
Can I buy an adsl modem that does nothing except get my broadband into my airport extreme network?
Alternatively is it worth me hassling BT until they give me a homehub 3 - is this any better?
Cheers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I did take a quick glance at the manual and it seemed to do what you need, but it may be worth taking a closer look yourself, its on the TP-Link website.
The only issue I can possibly see, is the PPP authentication.
Normally the home hub will authenticate internally using PPPoA, this will bring up the Internet connection.
If you are using the TP Link as purely an ADSL modem, then your Airport Extreme will be authenticating using PPPoE.
I am not 100% sure whether that will bring up the PPP session. It would certainly do on an Infinity connection, but I have never tried it on an ADSL only modem.
I would imagine that is should work, as the modem will be bridging the connection from the ATM side.
You can use a PPPoE user name of [email protected] and a password of bt

DMVPN Hub with Dual ISPs

I have one Hub Router, I have 2 ISPs and would like to set it up as a dual hub. I have configured two tunnel interfaces on the hubs and spokes, set the ipsec profile to shared, etc.
What i was trying to do was route-map the traffic for the two tunnel interfaces out of the relevant interfaces and came up with the following:
route-map ROUTE-DMVPN permit 10
match interface Tunnel1
set ip default next-hop xxxxx
route-map ROUTE-DMVPN permit 20
match interface Tunnel2
set ip default next-hop xxxxx
and then set that as a local policy route-map on the router.
The first section matches packets and works, the second does not. Is what I am trying to do possible? Or Do I need to be more sophisticated in my design?
Thanks in advance!

Use WRTP54G-ER wireless router with other ISP?

I got a Linksys WRTP54G-ER router with 2 phone ports from Circuitcity. We have Cable phone, and internet services with Times Warner.
On the package of the router it shows "Wireless-G broadband Router with 2 phone ports, Configured specifically for Earthlink trueVoice services"
Will this router works with the system we now have?

Yes it will work fine with the Cable Connection ...if you want to use Phone service you need to contact the Earthlink .... voice service provider ...

Mail ceased working with 'Plusnet' in UK despite checking all mail settings, works with other isp's

Run three e.mail accounts through Mail no problems. Then 'plusnet' in the UK stopped connecting, on an imac and macbook at the same time! I changed nothing. MSN account not affected. Plusnet have confirmed all settings but still doesn't work. Any ideas please? It's my first mac problem in several years and its ANNOYING ME!

Have a read of this.
A recent update is forcing Mail to use SSL/TLS which is unsupported by Plusnet's mail servers. You need to disable SSL, enable the option allowing insecure transport and disable the advanced option to automatically maintain settings.
Hope that helps.

CRC errors with non-home hub device

Hey folks
When I first replaced my dying BT Home Hub with a third party DSL modem, there were initially a lot of CRC errors and poor SNR ratios. I called BT Broadband support and the agent appeared to rectify the problem on by undertaking actions on BT's side. It was something like performing two line tests back-to-back -- I know sounds odd, but it worked and the the third party DSL modem worked happily for 6 months.
This week the third party modem started reporting high numbers of CRC errors, much like when first connected, it works for a while then resets when the CRC error count overflows. I'm wondering if there is some other state on BT's side that could rectify the problem. I've spoke with two agents this week, and they had no idea what I was talking about (and I agree it sounds like voodoo).
Any ideas on what the initial action was on BT's side that enabled the modem to work in the first place?
Thanks
Solved!

Hi John
I didn't understand the question about the test socket (physical socket?).
The line passes the quiet line test.
The third party router shows:
        Downstream

The CRC errors accumulate until they hit a threshold and the device resets dropping the connection.
The Home hub shows:
ADSL settings
VPI/VCI   0/38
Type   PPPoA
Modulation   ITU-T G.992.5
Latency type   Interleaved
Noise margin (Down/Up)   2.8 dB / 5.3 dB
Line attenuation (Down/Up)   49.5 dB / 26.1 dB
Output power (Down/Up)   0.0 dBm / 12.9 dBm
The obvious difference is 3dB in line attenuation and noise margin. This was the case when I first connected the third party router before BT did the line reset that allowed the device to work. It has worked flawlessly for months.
Thanks
BTW, I don't want to appear unduly ornery, but BT tech support repeatedly ask on the telephone "why aren't you using HH2 we provided?".
1) It randomly drops OS X wifi connections which makes me really unpopular in the house.
2) It has poor wifi interaction with work lenovo laptop.
3) It has no support for QoS provisioning so kids streaming video interferes with work.
4) It has unreliable and undocumented USB storage, cf third-party solution which offers glitchless SMB and FTP.
5) Printer support is undocumented (though works better than my third-party alternative :-) )
My first HomeHub 2 had exactly the same issues before it died at which time I invested in a third party alternative. To credit BT they sent a refurbished replacement but this has all the same issues and a non-functioning reset switch.

WOL and ARP Tables in BT Home Hub 2

Hi,
I have noticed several posts on the forum around the matter of WOL and also using port-forwarding to games devices but have not seen any definitive answer to my question.
I am wanting to use WOL in order to access my home PC from a netbook when away from home without having to leave it on all the time.
I have my PC set up to WOL using WOL Magic Packet Sender and DynDNS. This all works fine until the Home Hub refreshes its ARP table and it no longer finds my PC.
I have managed to set things up so I have a telnet connection to the hub and can run arp -a to see the existing entries. However, whenever I try to do an arp -s inet_addr mac_addr it comes up with Segmentation Error. I have tried deleting all reference to my PC and adding the static entry from my netbook but this gives the same result. I have tried both with DHCP and static addresses in the PC.
Does anyone know if it is possible to set up a permanent ARP entry in the Home Hub, please? BT online support say they are not trained in such matters (after disconnecting me twice) and suggest phoning in for chargeable help.
Cheers,
Joan

I'd like to do this too. I had it set on my previous ISP's Thompson 585v7 router, which is hardly cutting edge so I'd hope it's possible with the Home Hub.

Bt Home Hub can I connect?

Can I and how do I connect to BT Home Hub with my Laptop when it is one of the available connections when working away from home, It normaly asks for a Password.

Unless they take their security key off which, in my view i don't see ANYONE Doing that. they might of if they don't have a key on their hub, so they are mad

Have you looked at the hubs log to see if it gives a reason for refusing the N86?
It's a while since I had the original hub so can't tell you exactly where to look.

Connecting hi-fi amp to home hub 4

Hi, first time post, home somebody can help.
I've recently purchased a TEAC CR-H700DAB tuner/amplifier that should be able to connect wirelessly to my home computer(s) to stream recorded music.
When switching the device to the relevant function it displays "Network problem".
According to the YouTube clip at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nygu__aHbFo
...the way to set up an initial connection is to switch the amp on (with its antenna raised) and check in your router to find the IP address of the new device - the example shown in the clip is a Netgear router, but I assume that the BT Home Hub ought to work in a similar way. However, the only devices it picks up are the two existing laptops.
I'm at an impasse! Any suggestions?
Mike

Yes, I have the manual (although mine is slightly different).
When I follow that initial setup, I get as far as (on p. 34):
When you select "Wireless":
1. Turn the MULTI-JOG k-n-o-b [1] to select "Search AP", and then press the ENTER button.
2. Turn the MULTI-JOG k-n-o-b [1] to select the access oint to connect, and then press the ENTER button.
After (1) above, it says "Searching..." and then "Not Found" - which I assume means that it is not connecting to the Home Hub?
My laptop, which is in the same room, connects to the Home Hub with no problem.
[1] The forum software absurdly censors that word to **bleep** !!!
