Can't find my home network

Greetings,
I have tried searching this forum and the Apple support pages, and can't find a solution. My new iPod Touch can't find my home network. I have an AirPort Extreme base station and am using WPA/WPA2 Personal security. My MacBook Pro has no problem finding my network, and works flawlessly. My iPod Touch, on the other hand, can not. Even though my home network is not a closed network, I still tried entering the network name and password manually, and it still doesn't see it. I tried turning security off completely in my Base Station>AirPort>Wireless settings, and that didn't help, either. My iPod Touch does see one or two other networks in my neighborhood, but not mine.
For the record, I am sitting less than two feet away from my AirPort Extreme base station, so I'm definitely within range, my iPod Touch can see other networks, so it would seem that it's antenna is not at fault, and my MacBook Pro sees and connects to my network without any problems, so it would seem my AirPort Extreme is set up properly. So what am I doing wrong?
Any thoughts?

Thanks Scott, that did it. Within range of everything is a wireless security camera that was creating an interference issue with my MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme, and the only solution, other than disabling the camera, was to switch from 2.4 GHz to 5.0 GHz under Base Station>AirPort>Wireless>Radio Mode, which eliminated b/g compatible. At the time, that was fine because my MacBook Pro was n compatible. I see now that my iPod Touch is not. I tried switching back to b/g compatible, and the iPod Touch found my network right away, but the MacBook Pro lost it.
Can't win for losing.
The security camera has now been disabled, and both the iPod Touch and the MacBook Pro can access my network. I just won't be able to film the guy who tries to steal them.

  • Iphone osi 8.0 upgraded. Now I can't find my home network. Help!

    Just upgraded my iPhone to psi 8.0. Am able to find and stay connected to public wifi. Originally was able to find my home wifi. Now I'm not connected nor can I find my home network. I have tried reset via the phone, reboot of phone and reboot of router.

    Thanks 11142007. I had actually tried what you suggested. But, it was only after I rebooted the router a second time that I was able to connect and, hopefully, stay connected. The key on the second router reboot was waiting at least 15 seconds to power it back up. I didn't do that the first time.

  • G50-80 can't find my wireless network at all?

    My brand new G50-80 can't find my home network at all. And no, the SSID isn't set to hidden. I've spent the whole night troubleshooting, and tried all of the suggestions on the intel website for the AC 3160. The router is D-link DIR-635. It is capable of 802.11n, g and b on the 2.4 ghz band.It is set to broadcast on g, b and n. I have tried setting it to n only but that didn't help. Using "WifInfoView" free software I can see lots of networks, on 2.4 and 5 ghz both, but not my home network.You'd think that it's the router that is the problem, but I have many devices connected to my router already, including an very old laptop, several phones, and a brand new tablet. I have never had such problems before. Seeing how many people have trouble with the connectivity of this card it's frustrating that Lenovo doesn't offer a free support phone number (in my country).  Unlike other people I wish a slow signal was the only problem, as I can't see the network at all. I have tried turning off password.I have tried the latest drivers from both intel and lenovo.I have tried turning off bluetooth in device manager.I have tried turning off power saving features.The router is discontinued but has the latest firmware. And as mentioned, other devices can connect to it. Is there anything more I can try other than just returning this thing?

    UPDATE!!! If I select "only 802.11g" on the router I can connect.
    A bit strange. I'm open to any suggestions, but at least I can connect now.

  • IPhone can't find any wifi networks

    I have an original iPhone. It originally ran on wifi networks and Edge, but for a while it has only worked on Edge. When I look under settings - Wi-Fi it says "Not Connected" and lists no networks. My MacBook is connected wirelessly via an AirPort and the wireless info on it lists at least 5 active networks in the area. I have tried toggling between Airplane Mode and not, turning off everything (including cable modem and AirPort) and then resetting network settings, resetting all settings, and erasing all content and settings. I have also tried "Other" under Wi-Fi Networks, but it can't find my home network.
    Is there just something wrong with the device?

    I have the same problem you did. Was your phone still under warranty or covered under Apple Care? My phone isn't under warranty anymore, so I'm just hoping that I'm not out of luck.

  • I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network?

    A few hours ago I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router for the 1st time. It was either on auto, or channel 6 before, i'm not sure, but I changed it to 11, and now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network. I tried changing it to 6, but nothing, and I also can't go back to auto. Can someone please help. I've already searched for the network, and it says "Cant find network". I've also restarted my router. I also added the MAC address, still nothing. Other than those things, I havent touched anything else. My ipod could connect before just find. My Wifi is not disabled, and it's not on private. I can connect with other wifi's fine. And I can connect to other networks with my ipod, I also held down the button on top, and the home button for 10 seconds to restart and nothing. I also reset my network settings. Please help!

    Find the documentation for your router and look up "Reset to Factory Defaults."  This process will put the router back to the way it was when you bought it.

  • Macbook Pro can't find my home wifi

    I just got my battery replaced.. All my data disappeared. The worst thing is, I can't find my home wifi network but my neighbour wifi network is available. Pls help me fix this.
    Mine is a MBP 2011.
    Your help is much appreciated!

    Hello, Sallyelainelee!
    You may want to check the settings on your Router to make sure there isn't something in its configuration that's preventing the MacBook Pro from seeing it. If the MacBook Pro can connect to other WiFi networks OK, I would imagine that this would be the case.

  • My macbook doesnt not find my home network.

    My macbook doesnt not find my home network. It finds the surrounding networks but not my home network. My ipod touch and iphone uses the home network and another computer in the house. My home network does not appear in the wifi drop list and when I search via network preferences it doesnt help even though i am using the correct password. Every once in a while it will find the network more thats the exception.

    Turn the router and modem off then back on.
    I don't have iStubmler downloaded but someone told me that it can do a better job of picking up network signals. So you might try downloading it, but I can't say that I know it will help.

  • Can I create a home network withous dsl connection with airport express

    can I create a home network without dsl connection with airport express?
    So it means I can't connect to my HP Airprint/Wireless printer without exretnal connection through ISP?? Just need to print from my Mac and iphone. I have Vodafone Prepaid connection, which is directly connected to my Mac. Does that make an internal network possible?

    You have to set up the Air Port with an internet connection to set up a network. Do you have a modem? If yes you can set up the network.

  • I am trying to navigate mail and can't find a slider bar to scroll on a MacBook Air.  Also I can't find a Home or End key.

    I am trying to navigate mail and can't find a slider bar to scroll on a MacBook Air.  Also I can't find a Home or End key.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The scroll bar only appears when you are scrolling with your trackpad. If you want to make it show always, open System Preferences > General, and mark "Always" next to "Show scroll bars".
    Then, Mac keyboards have not got a Home or End key

  • 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.

    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 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?

  • Whilst setting up home share on my husband's laptop was quite easy I can't find a home page on iTunes on my new iPad to do it?

    Whilst setting up home share on my husband's laptop was quite easy I can't find a home page on iTunes on my new iPad to do it?

    The ID you use for home sharing should be the same on all devices, it doesn't need to be the same ID you use for other things.
    So if together you have the ID's [email protected] and [email protected] (say) then you might use [email protected] for your iTunes Store account and [email protected] for home sharing and he might use [email protected] for his iTunes Store account and [email protected] for home sharing
