Can't connect to wi fi at home.  All other pc's, iphones etc. can.  Also I can connect at work.

I have newer Mac book pro, running OS X Lion 10.7.5.  I can't connect to my home wifi.  I can connect at work.  All other computers and devices ar able to connect here at home.  I have read several forums and tried all options with no luck.  I'll list things i have tried that i can remember.  Tried deleting my wireless connection and re-adding it.  Tried deleting the wi fi and re-adding it.  Tried to renew DHCP lease.  Tried to use a mannual IP address.  Reset router and modem and Mac.  Please help having a new Mac book that I'm still paying for collecting dust is very frustrating.
Thanks in advance for any help, Henry

I have this issue too (currently connected via ethernet cable). My Macbook will see the wifi name but then says connection timed out and then I won't see the name again!! If I do manage to connect and then my computer goes to sleep it won't reconnect......any ideas?

  • Why can't I connect to the internet in my home all other appliances are working

    I used my iPad via an hotel wifi and now I am home I can't get it to connect to my wifi 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

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • If I add another account to the messages App, will it notify all other devices (MacBooks, iPhones, iPads etc.) that the account connected to that device is now connected to my computer?

    For example,
    Say I have my account set up for messages and the email address associated with that account is [email protected] I log out of my account on my MacBook Pro (named John's Macbook Pro, say) and now log in to messages with a new account, [email protected] I have an iPhone and another MacBook Pro that is currently using [email protected] Will those devices (the iPhone and the other Macbook Pro) be notified that "John's MacBook" is now using the account?
    Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Correct. You will see a message on those devices when you add an email account for Messages but only if you are using the same Apple ID in all these devices.

  • MacBook Pro loses connectivity to netgear router every few weeks.  All other wifi devices in my home work (iPad, iPhone, tv,). If I go near the router, I can reconnect, but maybe only for a few hours.  So every few weeks I reinstall Netgear software.  NG.

    Every few weeks I lose connectivity to my Netgear N router.  Its becoming more frequent.  All other devices in my home work fine (ipad, PC's, iphone, etc..).  In order to work for a few more weeks, I reinstall the Netgear software (using Ethernet cable to router) .  This is a hassle.  I use WPA-2.  Every once in a while I can reconnect without reinstalling the software if I go NEAR the router.  But this connection doesn't last too long (a few hours).
    What do I do?

  • Can't connect to the internet in my home yet other devices can. I tried it in other Wifi places and it connects without a problem. My home Wifi is with Att uverse

    Can't connect to the internet in my home yet other devices can. I tried it in other wifi places and it connects without a problem. My home wifi is with ATT Uverse. I cheched the IP address on my laptop and its different than on my Ipod although it on the same network.

    Move off WEP to WPA or, preferably, to WPA2 (as recommended by Apple). WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi Alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be cracked in seconds by any hacker).
    Note that each device on a network has a unique IP address but if your address starts with 169 then you did not get a valid IP address assigned to you by your router. If restarting the router did not cure the problem then you should check for a firmware update for your router.

  • HT4199 My iphone has always connected automatically without problem to the wifi network at work, i.e.BTBusinessHub, and at home, i.e.Bthomehub. Now it tries to connect at work but doesnt manage it although it still works at home. Can anyone advise why?

    My iphone has always connected automatically and without problem to the wifi at work i.e. BTBusinesshub and at home BTHomehub but yesterday it would not connect at work. It is ok at home but again today at work it is not connecting. It appears to try but is not connecting, please help.

    You can try doing a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up - then check wifi - if that doesn't work then
    do a network reset note:  you will have to reenter wifi password again when your in range.
    settings - general - reset - reset network settings.  If that doesn't work then I would talk to your IT dept.

  • Can't connect to my home wi-fi with new Iphone 5?

    can't connect to my home wi-fi with new Iphone 5

    When you say it doesn't detect the network - is that under "Settings->Wi-Fi"? It doesn't show your network at all?
    This may sound like a stupid question but since I've learned never to leave any stone unturned - you don't have your SSID set to "hidden" do you?

  • I have an iPad3, recently updated the ios to 6.0.1. Since the update I cannot connect to wi-fi at my house. I am able to connect at work, but not at home. I have changed routers 3 times, have reset, uninstalled and re-installed, and everything I can think

    I have an iPad2 and recently updated the ios. Since the update, I cannot connect to wi-fi through my router. I can still connect at work, but at home it will just not work. I have tried everything I can think of. I have reset, uninstalled, re-installed, and changed routers. 3 times. I cannot get it to work. Does this have something to do with the update? I have even reset the network settings, and restored the ipad itself to factory default settings. Can anyone help me?

    Try and "Forget This Network"
    Settings>Wi-Fi>tap little arrow on right of network.

    I have 2 of them that only connected for a day and then reset network settings and they connected again for a day now resetting network settings does not fix it either. My iphone used to work with my home network but after upgrading to the latest OS which is the same versions as the ipods it no longer works either. Acts the same as the ipods. It would seem that the latest tweeks to the OS is the problem with wifi connectivity.

  • I have windows vista home premium and all other versions of iTunes worked on my laptop iTunes 10 won't work, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my browser configuration?

    I have windows vista home premium and all other iTunes worked on my laptop, I downloaded iTunes 10 and now the iTunes will not connect to the Internet. I use Mozilla firefox on my laptop and for some reason it keeps saying the connection timed out and I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my web configuration?

    It probably has to do with your security and/or browser configuration.
    When my laptop crashed last year and I had to get a new one, I dealt with the same thing. First, go to your control panel and select the security section. See if your firewalls are up or not. If they are, turn them off. If you have any software to speed up your browser, that can affect the connection as well. Go into that software and disble/turn it off. If this doesn't work, contact customer support. They have a few other tricks they had me try that worked, but I can't remember them now.

  • IPhone 5 no longer connecting to home wifi after adding new iPhone 5s

    I just bought my husband a new iPhone 5s and successfully connected it to our home wifi; however, now my iPhone 5 won't connect.  All other home devices will connect without an issue. I've tried Reseting the Network Setting on my iPhone and that does not work.  It first gives me a message that states it is "unable" to connect to the network, then when I try again, it says the password is incorrect (and it is not).  I'ver tried turning my router off and on again as well.  Is there a way to just set an IP address maybe?

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
