Can I add a wifi network that is out of range - ipad 3 latest ios

We bought an iPad for a relative for Christmas. We expect that it will be used lightly, mostly emails and games, as the user is not very "technically minded".
The iPad links up fine to our wifi but before she returns home I wanted to set up her iPad so that it will connect automatically to her own wifi when she gets home. I wasnt expecting to actually connect to it of course as it's miles away, but I was hoping to get the details into the iPad so that when she is in range it will link up.
I have the details/password etc of her wifi network but when i enter the details I cannot store them on the iPad. It says"Could not find the network xxxxxxxx". There is no option to store the details. You have to 'dismiss' out of them.
Does anyone know a way that I can add an out of range wifi network?
I suspect I am wanting the impossible! Any help is very welcome. Thank you.

Can't see home wifi network

Today, I found that I could no longer see or sign on my home wifi network. Just my network; I can see my neighbors' wifi networks just fine (and connect on the unlocked ones).
I tried resetting the router and unplugging/replugging it multiple times, and also setting it up again via a pc. It is a secured network with a WEP password.
Weird thing is, my roommate who has a pc is having no problem seeing and getting on the network.
Did I mess up some network settings on my mac? I just switched to a mac about a year ago, so I'm pretty new at navigating through the settings.

Glad you got it working again, though I don't understand why resetting via the Mac worked when doing it via the PC hadn't. Another thing to add to the long list of things I don't understand I was sitting at my Mac trying to work out a list of debugging steps for you when your post came in, so I am delighted you let us know.

Airport Extreme green light but can't see the wifi network

Hello, coming back from the holidays I can't see my Wifi network anymore (From PS3, Phone, Computers ..etc.). My airport has a greenlight and the internet is working fine if my computer is connected with an Ethernet cable. I re-did the configuration many times and I did a hard reset of both my modem and the airport. It is not setted to a hidden connection. All the settings are basic like before. The only difference is that I did the update to 7.6.4.

I think you were right, my airport was broken and I noticed that at the end of the configuration process where there's a green checkmark it was written in the bottom that a wifi device wasn't working properly. Nothing could be done to make it work though.
I bought a new Airport Express now but I still have a major problem. I was able to configure it through wifi with my iMac without any problem and now it is connected to the internet via wifi perfectly but i STILL can't see the network with either my Android phone or my PS3 console !?
- Brand new airport express
- configured to "create a wifi network" with a WPA2 password using the simple steps of the airport utility
- Airport Utility 5.6.1
I did reset the airport express a few times with the utility and by removing the power cord. I also did reset my iMac and I can still connect to the wifi just fine with it.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

Thank you but I tried that and it still shows up as a network. I live out in the country and shouldn't have any other networks close. I am afraid of a security breach.
As far as networks showing up when you right click the WiFi icon in the Menu Bar, you will always see those that are close by. I know of no way to hide or remove those.
What leroydouglas provided is correct to remove any WiFi networks you have previously connected to.

When you say it "can not scan any wifi network" do you mean it is not detecting Wi-Fi networks?
Is Wi-Fi turned on in Settings > General > Wi-Fi?
Have you tried Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings?
Is it just the home network that the device will not connect to? or any network?

...can not find a wifi network on my iphone

...for some reason i can not get a wifi network on my iphone...we do have wifi at home my brother uses it for his ipad my sister uses it for her ipod touch and her iphone 4s my partner uses it for his ipod touch as well as for his playstation and i use it for my ipod touch but i can't use it for my iphone ...i took it telstra they said to do a backup and then a restore done that but still nothing happens..i think it might be a phone problem...

Try a Reset First...
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons...

After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

After I connect my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.
switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
(Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

My iphone can't see any wifi networks

my iphone can't see any wifi networks ... i tried to reset network setting and reset all setting and update the ios system but no way

I, too, fear it might be a hardware problem . I removed all security from my router but still no networks appear in the list nor can I connect directly by typing in the SSID. Tried two routers: Apple Airport Extreme and a Linksys something-er-other provided by Bell.
I will give HP a call tomorrow and see if they can sort this out.
Thank you for your help/advice!
Edit: almost certain it's a hardware problem: I clicked on the Help button while on that "Scanning for networks" dialog during initial setup and as one of the "helpful" suggestions, it said my Mac address was 00:00:00:etc.

IMAC can not see any wifi networks at all?

IMAC can not find any wifi network at all. A few days ago the Imac suddenly had no wifi and on turning the WIFI on and off it became apparent that when it scans for wifi it can see no wifi networks at all. I have several other computers and they all see the wifi networks fine. I assume it is a hardware issue but the hardware test I preformed comes up with no errors. Anyone got any ideas?

My airport can't find my wifi network.

I have a Gateway 2wire that I came with AT&T Uverse. It has been problematic at times, but now my iMac can't find the wifi network at all. It doesn't make sense to me. Sometimes it works great, sometimes it keep dropping off. Me and my wife both have iPhones, my iPhone found the network no problem, hers could not, so I entered it manually and that worked. Then my iMac was working great on it, then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, it stopped working and now it can't find the wifi network. I can't even enter it manually. The iPhones see it and work fine, my Wii see's it and works fine. But my new blu-ray can't see it either. So why are some of my devices working fine with it, and others can't even find it. I have worked with AT&T a few time and they keep saying it's not the 2wire. I don't believe them, I have read to many reports of similar problems with the 2wire with AT&T. Is there anything I can do to solve this. I keep thinking I wan't to get an Airport Extreme and connect it to the 2wire, I have read that it is possible and will work, but I wan't to know why this router is visible to some devices and not others. Does anyone understand this.

I'm not sure what you mean. You can't find the express to set it up.. or you can't find the network created by the express?

Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update

Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update.

This does not work in my case.
Situation: we have wifi at home using WPA encryption.
The iPod Touch 8GB connected seamless to this network and anything was ok. After some days i could no longer connect, the iPod told me "connection to network 'networkname here' failed". Deleting the network and reenter the (correct) passphrase was no help, but changing the SSID on the router was helpful: the iPod could connect again ... for several days.
Now things stopped working again. Resetting network settings did not help either.
The iPod can see the network, is asking me for the passphrase and after several seconds telling me: can't connect. On the router log i don't even see a dhcp request, but other laptops work fine with the same wifi network.
That's a mess, i cannot and will not change the SSID every some days just to get the iPod working again.

Can you extend a wifi network using a 2nd wired Airport Extreme ?

Hi
my cable broadbank service enters one corner of my house via a router/modem that I have running in modem mode.
I then have a ethernet cable to a new Airport Extreme (my primary router) next to it that I am using to create a Wifi network (with the same name for 2.4GHz and 5GHz)
I need to get a strong a signal as possible to opposite corners of the house.
At the moment I have a 2nd Airport Extreme (my secondary router) in the opposite corner of the house which Extends the network from the first router.
This AE also has some devices in the same room connected to it by ethernet.
Thise devices are getting very patchy internet service.
I have speeds over 100Mbps available close to my primary router, and around 7 Mbps next to the secondary.
I also have an unused ethernet cable running from the room with the primary router to a room near to the secondary router.
My question:
If I plugged my secondary router into that ethernet cable (into it's input socket) and the other end to the output of the primary router: would I be able to use the secondary router to extend the same Wifi network that the primary was broadcasting ? Or would I end up having to create a completely new network (and then worry about mobile devices switching between them when you move around the house).
Followup question:
If the idea above doesn't pan out - would I typically be better off stationing the secondary router in the middle of the house to extend the network range - or in a far corner as it currently is ?
thanks in advance.
Christian.

If I plugged my secondary router into that ethernet cable (into it's input socket) and the other end to the output of the primary router: would I be able to use the secondary router to extend the same Wifi network that the primary was broadcasting ?
Yes. Apple's set up wizard calls this "extend using Ethernet". Since there is virtually no signal loss through the Ethernet cable, the second AirPort Extreme will receive a much faster signal to extend.
If the idea above doesn't pan out - would I typically be better off stationing the secondary router in the middle of the house to extend the network range
Yes. As it stands, the wireless signal has really slowed down a great deal by the time that it reaches the far end of the house. And, the Extreme can only wirelessly extend the speed of signal that it receives from the "main" Extreme. It can make the signal that it receives stronger, but it cannot make the signal go faster.
So, locating the second Extreme about half way between the "main" Extreme and far end of the house would be the best compromise. The network speed will still slow by at least half when you do it this way, and any obstructions in the signal path will slow the signal even more.
It is easy to see why extending using Ethernet.....if possible.....provides much better performance for the network.

HT1695 Can't Find any wifi Networks after updragding to 6.0.1

My iPhone 4 can't find any wifi networks after upgrading to iOS 6.0.1 and i can't downgrade what should i do ?
I swtiched off the connection from mobile and restared the router and nothing changed!
Note: My laptop found about 7 Networks my iphone finds nothing

I have the exact same problem.
It popped up on my 8gb iPhone (2.0.1) first time when i just purchased it. The Wheel spins as if it's searching for hotspots (and there are a lot of hotspots where i live). My MacbookPro finds them without any problems.
Second time i experienced these problems, it was after i didn't have a chance to charge the phone, and i figured it was a "Low battery, disable wifi" thing. But even though i charged it fully, it still can't scan networks.
I managed to discharge the battery, until the 10% warning popped up. I connected the charger, and sure enough, it was able to scan networks. Then when i tried to join a network, it stopped working again, and since then i've been unable to scan wifi. Now 3 resets, and a lot of fiddling later, i'm no further than i was before.
The fact that it was able to scan momentarily points me in the direction of the software, but i'm not so sure anymore.
Hope someone can shed some light on this.

TS1398 I can not find my wifi network on my ipad. My iphone conected fine.

I can not find my wifi network on my ipad, My iphone connects fine. I tryed restarting the ipad and router. Please help

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
