Can iDevice connect to 2 WiFi units simultaneously?

I have a TC in the front of the house and AP Express in the back of the house.  The two units are ethernetted together.  I was using AP Utility to check something, and noticed my iPhone and iPad (in my office in the front of the house) are connected to just the TC.  My wife is sitting in the living room, midway between front and back of the house.  Both AP Express and TC report he iPhone and iPad connected, both devices to each WiFi unit.  How can one device connect to 2 WiFi units?

How can one device connect to 2 WiFi units?
In a roaming network.. each time you move the device it should connect to the nearest AP.
The list in the airport utility is current leases.. the standard lease time is 24hours.. so it can show the same device connected to multiple units around the house but only one will be current. Apple have removed all useful info from the airport utility but you used to be able to see actual signals.. then you would know the truth. Then centre unit being the main router.. the other two units are repeaters.
The modern v6 airport utility Tonka Toy display..
Shows nothing of any use. Mostly it is of ghosts.. of Time Capsules or airports long gone.. and wireless clients that may or may not have already gone offline.

  • How many devices can I connect over USB to Configurator simultaneously

    Hi,
    I am looking for confirmation (preferably from Apple!) as to how many iOS devices can be connected via USB to Configurator simultaneously?
    There is one document from Apple which states 30 devices is the limit but we use carts with many more than this which Configurator appears to handle fine. You can also buy carts which accept more than 30 devices from the Apple Education Store.
    What I really need is an official document stating the limit or some feedback from you guys on your experiences with Configurator and high numbers of devices!
    Any help would, of course, be appreciated
    Thanks.

    Depends on your USB hardware....I have had two Bretford 30 unit carts running and while slow will work...Actually in our last deployment I went back to one MacBook Air AC station per 30 cart (4-5 carts per building) as the timing worked out better with temp workers and workflow....

    Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

  • 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.

  • Can't Connect to any WiFi network

    I just got my iPhone yesterday and I'm already having a serious problem,I can't connect to any WiFi networks.
    I can see the networks around me and I can select networks that I've setup and I know are open or I know the security passwords, I can even enter the network passwords for the ones that require them and it accepts them without complaint. When I select a network I get a little check mark next to that network which I assumes means it should be connected to that network. However, the iPhone never actually connects to them, i.e. no IP address, no router no nothing in the network settings screen for each network, and always appears to the using the Edge wireless network when accessing the internet.
    I've tried DHCP and static IP but neither works.
    I updated the phones software to 1.1.4, has anybody reported problems like this with this or any version of the software.
    Any help would be much appriciated.
    If I can't get this resolved today I'm returning to the AT&T store tonight for a new one.
    Thanks
    Matt S.

    theevilone,
    I have personally used an iPhone with routers from D-Link, Netgear, Linksys, Apple and Belkin.
    Some routers, regardless of manufacturer need to have their firmware updated. Generally speaking if you look at the release notes, the same updates that resolve issues with DHCP for game systems and PDAs, also resolves them for the iPhone.
    In addition hardware or MAC address filtering can cause issues where you connect to the network and not get DHCP.
    Hope this helps,

  • How can i connect ipad mini wifi celluar to 2g internet plan, how can i connect ipad mini wifi celluar to 2g internet plan

    How can i connect ipad mini wifi+celluar to 2g internet plan

    Hello Sir!
    After weeks of testing, i found the solution of my question. It´s quiet simply!!
    1º iPhone (3G Internet acess) connected to Mac mini by USB or BlueTooth or WiFi.
    2ª in Mac mini must be activated in "Preferencias", "Compartir", the option "Compartir Internet",
         "Compartir Conexión desde":   iPhone USB  or  Bluetooth PAN
         "Con otros Ordenadores vía":  Ethernet
    3º Ethernet cable must be connected from Mac mini to Time Capsule !!
    4º In Time Capsule "Internet":  connect by:  DHCP
                                 "Network": bridged
    Nothing more!!!  Sooooo simply!!
    After this, Windows XP SP3 connect without problem over TC´s WiFi or Ethernet to the Internet!
    Also other Devices like IPad, or other iPhone, etc.
    Of course it can be a created a WiFi connection (PPP) between the iPhone and the Mac
    and it´s working to.
    But ALWAYS, by changing the connection mode, must be changed the Thethering mode.
    In- and Out-Going!
    Thank you for your help, no I made me a "small" TC expert...lol 

  • How come I can't connect to my wifi on my iPad?  My other think pads are connecting.  I reset all my settings and nothing.  We have a jet pack and I can connect to that?

    I can't connect to our wifi.  All our other think pads are connected.  We have a jet pack and am able to connect...but why not our two think pads?  I reset my settings and still doesn't work?  Thx

    Try rebooting the router. Whether or not it is working with other devices does not matter.

  • Can't connect to my Wifi

    Hello!
    My iPod Touch 3g is giving me trouble. I can't connect to my Wifi-network at home. I've tried to restart both Ipod and Router. I've trided to rebooth wifi settings.
    The wierd thing is that i can connect to the network when i remove the security password, i use the WPK security. But i don't want to have it open like that all the time, what can be worng?
    Thankful for help!
    /Glenn

    Here's the encryption protocols that I know - WEP, WPA, WPA2. I'm not familiar with WPK.
    When you set up your router WEP is the least preferred as it requires that limit your password characters based on the strength of encryption (5 characters, 48 bit; 13 characters, 128 bit). For WPA and WPA2 you have a choice between personnel and enterprise. Personnel is what you want for home use. You should also see the term PSK (pre-shared key) which just means that all devices use the same password.
    Passwords on the touch are case sensitive so be sure considering that when typing.

  • Can't connect to my wifi.  Err msg is incorrect password.  Could it be WPA vs. WEP?

    Can't connect to my WiFi.  Msg is incorrect password.  I am typing it correctly!  All my other devices connect to my WiFi no problem.  My wireless router is WPA.  The only options on Apple TV menu is WEP.  Is this a problem?

    Yes, that is the problem.

  • Can't connect to my wifi it says ( a connection timeout occurred) !!

    Can't connect to my wifi it says ( a connection timeout occurred) !!

    Sometimes, but not all the time, network colision does happen. That may cause your "connection timed out" message.  It may also be caused by having too many devices hooked up and you are getting an ip address that's already being used.
    If you know how to configure your netgear router, try to get into it's settings and see how many devices are actually hooked up and start taking some off that aren't being used.
    Also, go to the wireless section of your router and see what channel it's on.  Usually defaults at channel 7.  Try changing that channel until you get a good connection with your MB.

  • Can't connect ipad to wifi after upgrading to ios6

    can't connect ipad to wifi after upgrading to ios6

    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi. (This is probably not practical in your situation.)
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

    No.  You can have one or the other.  How the printer connects does not have to match how the computers connect.
