Cannot connect at home

I am so frustrated, I have a new Apple TV, and an actiontec router and my Apple TV will not connect. I took it to an apple store they set up my router and connected the Apple TV wirelessly to that and it worked flawlessly. I got it home and it is not working! It will not set date and time. It shows its connected to the Internet but the only two icons are computers and settings. I can get my ipad and computer to talk and home share just fine. HELP!!

Thanks Jason for responding,
1. I'll try things out at another free WiFi place soon. 2. yes, I have netbarrier installed, but was set to no restriction. I'll try to shut down the program all together next time i try. 3. 192.168.5.1 was router and 192.168.5.237 was the ip. 4. renew ip came back the same numbers 5. tried setting up a new location, same thing failed at isp yellow lights on internet (under diagnostic window)
got any idea?

New iPod Touch 4th gen. cannot connect to home wi-fi network

When I launch wi-fi on my new iPod Touch 4th gen. my home network's name is displayed, but after entering my password the iPod is unable to connect - the wheel to the left of the network name just keeps spinning. The network still functions properly for all my other devices (MacBook, 2nd gen. iPod Touch, wireless printer and my wife's PC) and the new iPod Touch did connect to the network in the Apple Store when I visited yesterday. I know the password I enetered for my home network is correct because I've checked it in my keychain, and also the iPod did not inform me that it was the wrong password for that network - as it does if I enter another password.
I have followed the advice given to others - unplugging the Time Capsule and leaving it for 5 minutes, checking that all my software and firmware is up to date, 'forgetting' the network on my new iPod then searching for it again, and have completely restored the iPod - but it still cannot connect to my network. If my network is functioning properly, and my new iPod was capable of joining the Apple Store's network yesterday, and I am sure that I am entering the correct password, it seems to me that my problem must be due to some network setting that is refusing to allow a new device to connect. I can't find where that setting might be - can anyone advise?

depending on what router but hopefully all routers came to this default address....
192.168.1.1/Wireless_MAC.asp
from
>Setup of the Basic Setup you goto
>Wireless
>WirelessMacFilter
also had an idea when i wanna make sure im typing the right one, i would do is tap each letter/# by 1, as in,
(e.q.)
here's my ipod 4 and my ipod 2, the pswd is 123456
ipod 4, i press 1
ipod 2, i press 1
ipod 4, i press 2
ipod 2, i press 2
and so on till i reach both of them to 6 (1by1) to make sure i get it in there right. saw this on another wall it might depends on what channel your using, but i dont rly think that matters bc i have mine on auto and nvr had a problem.
i would do this even thou it may sound crazy to others....if i were you this is what i would do
on your ipod 2Gen
>Safari
>address to 192.168.1.1/WL_WPATable.asp
-(wireless security settings for passcode)
>tap the box for the password, whatever ur security is i would copy
-IF WEP
-copy phrase key and Key 1
-IF WPA
-copy phrase key
>open Notepad
>under iCloud account Notepad
>Paste the Key
>either on your pc/mac or your 2nd Gen, go back to
>192.168.1.1/WL_WPATable.asp
>change your Security Mode to Disable
>goto your 4 Gen iPod Touch
>goto settings and connect to it, if pswd is still in it then tap forget this network and reconnect to it
-once connected and got IP adresses
>goto Notpad under iCloud
-you should have obtained your recent icloud msgs included the key you pasted
-once obtained
>gobk to pc/mac or ipod 2nd gen and re enabled the security and re-paste the key in
-once router adjusted try to connect to it
>1st do your 2nd gen and forget this network reconnect to it and repaste the key
>2nd goto ur 4rth gen from your notes, highlight the key in ur notpad and tap copy and forget this network reconnect to it and paste the key.
this should work bc i did it myself when i couldnt get connected bc thats almost the same steps i did.
somtimes i put my name up on here. remeber these names we put as our nickname doesnt mean its our real name or anything like that,

Cannot connect to home wi-fi. temporarily connects then disconnects ?

My Droid-X cannot connect to my wi-fi home router. using WPA2-PSK. Phone sees network but will not connect ?
At one point is connected for a few seconds only ?

We certainly want you to be connected at home amc129!
Lets take a look at this! Have you been able to connect previously to the WPA2-PSK setting? Can you connect with other WiFi networks like normal? If so, I recommend contacting the router provider, as a software update or settings change may be necessary. Please keep me posted!
Thanks,

Cannot connect to Home Hub Manager

Cannot connect since I renamed my 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels.
I used a space and bracket which I don't think works - i.e. BTHomeHub (2.4GHz)
However I cannot now access the Home Hub Manager to rename the networks.
I have tried to access via:
api.home
192.168.1.154
bthomehub.home

I suggest you try a factory reset of the hub

I cannot connect to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer. The other "library" does not come up in the box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen. I tried disconnecting each computer from Home Sharing.

I cannot connet to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer. I cannot find the name of the other computer in the "Library" box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen. Do I need to have the other computer connected to the Cloud?

Mkae sure you have enabled Home Sharing using the same AppleID on both computers.

After ios 5 update cannot connect to home wifi

it worked just before i installed ios 5 and now I cannot connect to my wifi. iphone still connects

Same for me.
I have to reset my comcast modem to get the iphone to submit the password.
Otherwise i just get a message "unable to connect to HOMExxxx"
After I reset the modem then I get the password request.
Password should be retained in the iPhone.
Got the iPhone connected on Sunday night and then Monday morning had to go through the whole routine again.
Comcast password is many characters so this is problematic.

Cannot connect my home PC to BT Broadband

Hi
I am relatively new to BT Broadband and am finding it impossible to connect my home laptop to the internet. The laptop is a 2009 Toshiba with a Pentium processor and Windows Vista. The BT hub is a Hub 4. I have followed all the initial setup instructions and help FAQs, and to all intents and purposes the laptop appears to have connected successfully. However, it will only allow local use. Even on the Homehub manager, it is showing as connected (at 2.4 Ghz, as opposed to 5Ghz for all other devices - iPad, IPhones text). To be honest I'm at a bit of a loss were to go with this (other than back to SKY). Can anyone offer any help?

As well as what Keith has suggested it could be that your computer has IPv6 selected. Try disconnecting it as follows:
Select Start
In the search field type.ncpa.cpl and press enter.
In the new window right click on your wireless network connection and select properties
In “This connection uses the following items” section remove the tick beside Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) then press OK
Left click on Internet Protocol IPv4, click properties . Check the options to obtain IP address and DNS server address automatically.
Once done try and connect to internet.

Upgraded to 10.9 and OS X Server 3.0.1, users cannot connect to home shares

Hello. I recenlty upgraded from Lion Server to Mavericks and Server OS X and users are now unable to access their home shares. When one attempts to afp to the server after connecting to my uni's VPN, the login box simply shakes and no connection is made.
Running Mac Mini with 10.9 and OS X Server 3.0.1 with home shares located on a Pegasus RAID array that worked fine under Lion Server. The upgrade seemed to go smoothly, as all accounts were intact and the settings were identical to the functional Lion Server settings. I have combed these forums trying to find a response that actually works for me, but was unable to locate a match that resulted in a working solution.
Here is a sample log when attempting to login:
Dec 16 13:08:50 xx.xx.xx.private kdc[109]: Got a canonicalize request for a LKDC realm from local-ipc

When I first upgraded, I was able to connect via PC but not Mac (10.9) clients, so I tried creating a new account to attempt to ferret out the problem. When I created a new account in the Server.app connecting to an existing home share, I was still unable to connect to it remotely--Server.app threw the "Cannot authenticate connection..." error and closed. I then attempted to create a new user and new home share directory in Workgroup Manager and received an error stating the home directory could not be created (I forgot the actual verbiage, but I will replicate and post if needed). I tried simply adding the folder to the home shares folder, but I was still unable to connect via afp or smb.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, as I need to resolve this issue ASAP. Please let me know if any other information would be useful to diagnosing this issue.
Thanks!

I have the same problem although I upgraded from Lion Server to Mountain Lion Server. The error appears to go hand in hand with this error.
userInit: CFPreferences: user home directory for user kCFPreferencesCurrentUser at /Network/Servers/fullyqualifieddomainname/Users/user is unavailable. User domains will be volatile.
I've read a number of things to try. A lot of people point to DNS being a problem, but I'm confident this is correct in my environment.

Cannot connect to home wifi?

why can't i connect to my home wifi, everyone else in the house can ?

Probably because the DHCP daemon in the router has quit. Try rebooting the router by turning it off for about 15 seconds.

Why my use iPhone cannot connect to home wifi in China?

I have just visited China, city of nanjing. Was staying at friends house, home has a wifi router connected to China Telecom modem. No matter how i tried, i just could not connect to the internet.Anybody got solutions to it?Tried using a iphone 4 and 4s.

not sure its still of any use, but I found I have to reset the china telecom modem (not the router) so that when it starts, the devices are already there and accepted for internet connection. I have that problem and need to reset my modem every day when I get home

HT4993 Cannot connect to home wifi

I have the iphone 4S and I'm really getting tired of not being able to connect to my home wifi. My husband has the Samsung Galaxy S3 and has no problems whatsoever. I bought this phone for that specific reason amongst others but this is getting ridiulous. I'm about to take it to the Apple store and tell them they can have it back. Anyone else going through this???

There are a few posters with that problem, Angie...this can be either an incompatibility with the router or a problem with the iPhone or iDevice. Start with the Troubleshooting iOS WiFi article, see if that helps. If you are having issues with the WiFi block on the iPhone being greyed out, see this article.
Are you having problems only with the home WiFi or all WiFi?
You might also try a reboot of the iPhone by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

HT204409 Cannot connect to home wifi with iPhone 4s.

IMy iphone does not see my home wifi. Nothing has changed, even after IOS 6. My Ipad and iMAC see and connect just fine. I reset everything on the modem and computers and again everything connects except the 4S. I have verified and or reset all settings including no security. It sees all the other netowrks in the area too. Any suggestion.

If there is no problem with the iPhone seeing any other available wi-fi networks or connecting with any other wi-fi network your iPhone has access to, not sure how it can't be a problem with your wireless router or network regardless if the iPad and iMac have no problem.
No change after resetting network settings on the iPhone and/or after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

HT6065 Cannot connect to home wifi automatically despite upgrading to OS X Mavericks v10.9.1 Update

My MacBook Pro is unable to connect to my home wifi although there were no problems in the past. I realized that the problem was intermittent and then it became permanent. Each time I have to manually connect to my home wifi. This is despite having upgraded to the latest OS version Maverick v 0.9.1.

See if anything here helps - no guarantees, but sometimes any one of the suggestions has been known to work:
WiFi Problems:
Wifi problems seem to crop up a lot on here and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a 'one fix' solution.
However, sometimes any one of the following can help although, unfortunately, not always. In no particular order:
Check wifi security - if it's WEP change it to WPA or WPA2 (preferably, as it's more secure)
Change the wifi channel on the router
Create a new Network Location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289
Reboot the router
Also take a look at this link and the links within the article for other ideas. They mainly reference Lion, but still seem to be relevant to Mountain Lion and possibly Mavericks:

Cannot Connect to Home Network - Invalid Password

I moved to a new home which required a new password. I can connect my android devices to the passport wireless device just fine. I attempted to connect the passport device to my home network and I immediately receive the message "Invalid Password" and a split second later this message pops up " Attention, your request is currently being processed". I am entering in the correct password. I tried entering in an incorrect password and it shows the image that its attempting to connect and it takes about 15 seconds for me to get the "invalid password" message. Will I have to factory reset my device? I want to avoid this at all costs since I did this before and ended up needing to get a replacement passport device. Please help.

Okay, try these steps. Pictures would help, but I don't have time. Connect your Android device directly to the MPW via WiFi.Tap the menu (three bars) in the top left corner.Tap settings.Tap the name of your MPW just below the "My Passport Wireless" heading.Scroll down to the "Wi-Fi" section, and tap that. What you see here may vary from what I do a bit, as my MPW is connected to my home WiFi network. If you see your home Wi-Fi network name below the heading "Connect to Internet", then;Tap the blue "i" in a circle at the right of the name.Tap the "Forget This Network" item. If you don't get the blue "i" in a circle, which you probably wont, then I think you need to do need to do a manual System Only Reset, as per page 47 of the manual. What I'm thinking is that when you moved house, you kept the same SSID (wireless network name) on your wireless router, but changed the password. Is that correct? If so, the problem is that the MPW remembers your old network, and the old password, and keeps trying to connect using that information. Hence the above instructions to "forget" that network, at which time you can start again in setting up the MPW connection to your home wireless network. An alternative would be to change the wireless password on your wireless router back to what it was when the MPW was still able to connect, back at your old house. Still another alternative would be to change the SSID on your wireless router, and set up the MPW to connect to this "new" wireless network. Both those alternatives require a bit of work on your home wireless network, and require changes on all devices which use the network; either just a password change back to the old one, or both a password and network name (SSID) change. Both are more work than resetting the MPW. If you do reset the MPW, don't forget to also update it to the latest firmware, as I believe that a reset puts the original, as delivered firmware on to the MPW. If none of the above helps, I think you need to raise a support ticket with WD.
