Can't connect to a wifi network with a wep keyid 2
Hi,
how do you connect to a wifi network with wep but the keyid is 2, i can't find an option.
i put the password, in asci and in hexa, and the answer "can't connect to the network" a xp near got connected after changing the key id in configs :((
did i miss something?
thanks for help
I am relatively new to Mac's, as at 40 having had IBM/Windows compatibles since I was 14 (8086 woot!), I am still learning.
However, I believe the answer is that you must use Key 1. I don't believe OSX offers the chance to use any others. However, in case I am wrong, try putting a $ before the WEP passphrase, but again, I think it only uses Key 1.
Hope that helps,

How can i connect to a wifi network with no internet connection​?
I used to be able to connect my Z10 to a wifi network even when the network had no Internet connectivity when i got my phone in Feb. 2013 (10.0) However ever since the 10.1 update this has stopped working. I cannot connect to my wifi network when there is no Internet connection. I cannot play videos / music from my phone to my tv/music system or connect to my laptop. However my laptop and tv communicate just fine through the same network.
Can anyone recommend anything for this?nikhildhoot wrote:

Your saved wifi networks should connect automatically whether internet is available or not, you may receive a notification "there appears to be no internet connection".
Update to 10.2, if not available from your carrier then use Sachesi (see other threads). -
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,

My iPhone 4s has been update as I said in subject bar.. Now can't connect to any of my cars Bluetooth systems. Also even more frustratingly can't connect to any wifi networks at home or work!!
How can apple put out such an update that causes so much grief and inconvenience to hundreds of people. Not to mention risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working...outraged!!!!!!First, grow up. Just because YOUR phone isn't working, doesn't mean Apple put out bad software. I've not had any difficulty, nor has anyone else I know. And just how is Apple risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working? It's YOUR decision to talk on the phone or text and drive. Not Apple's.
We're users here, volunteering our time to help others. Posts like yours, which are whiny and ranting, simply means we're likely to ignore you and not provide you with any help. Not to mention, it makes you look absolutely foolish.
Further making you look foolish is the fact that you haven't even asked a technical support question, nor have you provided anyone here with any troubleshooting steps you might have taken, including those recommended in the user guide.
Good luck getting help.

I can't connect to ad-hoc networks with my iPod touch 4g AND IT ****** ME OFF!! (running firmware 6.1.2) Please fix this extremely annoying issue ASAP!!
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- Anything else here
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -

At home, I can connect my iPhone 5 to my home wifi network with no problems, as long as I stay downstairs.
As soon as I go upstairs my phone disconnects from the network. I can still see the home network it in the available network lists (with full signal strength), but when I try to reconnect I get an 'unable to connect to the network message'
If I move back downstairs it reconnects
This has only started happening in the past week or so
I've tried to forget and rejoin the network, but this doesn't work
I reset my network settings on the phone. This worked for a couple of hours and I could connect to the wifi upstairs, but now it won't connect again.
Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?Sounds like your wi-fi signal strength has degraded. Try rebooting your wi-fi router, or get it serviced.
Do you have similar issues with any other wi-fi routers? -
Can't connect to other Wifi networks although it works at home
My curve is configured to 'wifi preferred' and shows UMA signal when in my home - using BT Home Hub. Recently I tried to connect to a hotel wifi and my mum's Orange Livebox. Both are now stored on my BB as available connections but Active WiFi connection is showing 'none'. I can't work out how to get it using the Wifi instead of my data plan.
I've read some threads recommending 'hotspot' setting but not sure if this will restrict me to WiFi only? Of course, I would like it to automatically switch back to my BT hub once home. Have done battery pull but no different.
Am at my mum's at the moment if anyone can help please!
Thanks.Some hotspots require you to log in before you can actually access the internet. Once you do a scan, and connect to the wifi network then you need to open the browser, and go to the Bookmark screen and click on "wifi hotspot login."
Not every wifi network is compatible with every device so some hotspots just may not work.

Like the subject line says, I installed the 6.0.2. update with my fingers crossed, but my iPhone 5 still doesn't connect to certain networks. Of course, Apple in their "Troubleshooter" sends me to an article telling me how to connect to a WiFi network, and to reset Network settings (which I've done numerous times).
This happens in a local coffee shop, and one odd thing is that the owner thinks he has his router set to require a password, but none of my devices show it to be a secured network (though it was and did require a password when I initially joined the network).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.We have the same problem here at the university campus. See my post

We hope that Apple will release a fixed iOS 6-Version soon. -

Can't connect to my wifi network when external monitor is connected
The computer is a very new Retina Macbook Pro. The monitor is an older Alienware/Benq 20" (3:4) LCD. I'm using a DVI to mini-displayport adaptor and plugging into the thunderbolt ports on the Macbook Pro. Router is a Belkin F5D8233 Wireless N router. As soon as I connect the monitor my connection to my wifi network times out and refuses to let me connect (every attempt just results in a "connection timed out" error). However, I was surprised to find that I could connect to my neighbor's network without any issue. Anybody have any idea what the issue could be?
Maybe related to bullet #7 here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365.

Third-Party apps can't connect to public wifi networks.
When I connect my iPhone to my university's Wi-Fi connection, Apple Apps (Safari, Mail, iTunes, App Store...) all function normally. But when it comes to third-party apps I can't get them to connect to the internet. So is there a workaround to this? Maybe get iPhone to treat apps as an "Apple App" so the proxy server gives it access to the connection (The server requires a username and password verification to connect). This happens with other public wi-fi connections. I dunno if I'm giving all the necessary info. so if anything is unclear, I can explain further...
Thanks
Message was edited by: A-JayYou don't give any examples of the apps that are not working.
Some public WiFi networks will only have certain network ports open, like those for web and mail. If an app uses an unusual network port then it may not work on the public WiFi network. -
Can't connect to router and network with Airport on G4
Just upgraded from a Belkin Wireless G router (c. 2004) to a Belkin Wireless N. Problem is that one of my old G4's can't get on. The security with the old router was WPA, and it worked. But the new router is WPA/WPA2-PSK, and the G4 with the Airport card running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) only asks for WEP. How do I get on?
Hi Odell,
Some old G4 Airport cards cannot do WPA2, but to see what choices you have...
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. See Security choices there. -
Can't connect to office wifi network
I've been given a new MacBook Pro at work and we're struggling with getting it connected to the office wifi.
Model is a MacBookPro 8,3
Every time I go into System Preferences > Network and create an Airport connection with WPA2 Enterprise as security, the connection remains in yellow dot status with Self-assigned IP listed below AirPort in the left column.
I also see 802.1X: WPA: SECURE (the network SSID) and a Connect button. When I hit connect, the Airport status in the left is still yellow and says "On".
However, the Network Name now is grayed out with "No network selected".
If I choose the network from the drop down, I'm asked for the user name and password with 802.1X set to Automatic. Once this happens, the lin with
802.1X: WPA: SECURE shows a button of "Connect", so that gets disconnected, and Self-Assigned IP comes up in the Airport status on the left.
Seems like an endless loop of failing to connect.I don't know about all that techie stuff--maybe that is the issue. But I have had no problem connecting to our office wifi network. It showed up in the airport drop down menu & I selected it & entered the password.
I was also told at the Apple store that having my computer password protected would protect it from outsiders being able to get into it--that is with at least an 8 digit password with alpha numeric & at least 1 capital.
So don't know about the WPA stuff, but I was told that this is reasonably secure. So someone else could address whether that is needed. I read about that in connection with a home wifi set up but don't know about otherwise.
I'm on a MacBookPro 13, 2010. -
