Cannot connect to wifi network

I've seen other folks discussing issues with Wifi connectivity in Mavericks, but can't find a specific answer to my problem - hopefully somebody can chime in.
I recently purchased a (refurbished) 15" retina Macbook Pro, Mid-2012 model. It came with Mountain Lion installed, but I immediately updated to Mavericks. My home wifi is secured with WPA2 - Personal, and I was initially able to connect even after the Mavericks update. However, my wifi speeds were terribly slow, so I went and changed the router settings in the hopes of speeding things up (using a separate computer connected directly to the router).
As soon as I made the changes, my Macbook was unable to connect to the network. The name of my network still appeared in the list of available networks, but as soon as I selected it I recieved a message saying "Wifi network "(network name)" could not be joined." It would not even give me a prompt to enter my password, just an option to run diagnostics, which provided no help whatsoever.
I tried reverting the router to the previous settings, but the issue persists. I am able to connect to other nearby WPA2 secured networks (or at least get a prompt to enter a password), but not the one I was using previously. I am able to connect to my network if I disable the security, but as I live in a fairly large apartment building, that's not a permanent solution. Anybody have any insight into what might be causing this issue?

I have an android phone as well and i found an app called "wifi tether" version 3.1-beta. They listed as web address in the about section on the app http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com i am not sure if the address is good but it might give you some insight. The app works for me on my k1. But you are right ad-hoc support would be great.

HP Officejet 6700 Premium cannot connect to wifi network

Since a few days, our HP Officejet 6700 Premium can no longer connect to wifi network. All our other devices as laptops, smartphones, tablets have no difficulty in connecting to the wifi. reconnecting and entering the WPA password doesn't help.
The printer says the SSID of our wifi network is not unique, it detects multiple access points.
What can I do to solve this issue.

Hello there @karatejan
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I read about the issues you're facing when trying to connect your Officejet 6700 printer to your network recently. I have three suggestions for you, and please let me know the results when you are done.
Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer, and run the set up again.
If you are running a Windows OS, from your PC, perform a Clean Boot, which will turn off the start up programs just in case there is something blocking the installation. Try the USB to wireless set up again.
Check your router settings to match these recommended settings:
1. Network name and password to have no spaces or punctuation.
2. If using WPA2 security, switch to WPA personal.
3. Dual broadcast Wireless b/g/n (printer may only connect to g).
4. Mac filter needs to be turned off.
5. Firewall settings need to be at there default settings, or set to a lower security.
6. Multicasting "on".
7. Following ports need to be un-blocked:
Incoming (UDP) ports : 137, 138, 161, 427
Outgoing (TCP) ports : 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500

Cannot Connect to Wifi Network with rt61-based PCI Adapter

Hello,
I am having difficulty connecting to my network wirelessly. I get the following error when I try to connect through ArchAssistant:
Network profile 'myNetwork' failed to connect.
REASON:
- Wireless association failed. [FAIL]
I am using an rt61 based PCI adapter.
dmesg returns:
rt61pci 0000:02:08.0: firmware: requesting rt2561s.bin
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
iwconfig returns:

My wifi router uses WPA security and a hidden essid.
I have added the rt2561s.bin firmware to /lib/firmware/.
I was able to connect once when I added the below to the WPA Opts field:
PRE_UP='iwconfig wlan0 essid theswamp'
That command is still in the WPA Opts field, however I still cannot connect.
I am using ZMLarch 1.24.2-1 on Arch Linux 2.6.29.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Ideas? Anyone?

My new IPad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of the reception. In the same location, my PC and my smart phone get a full bar connection without any issues. How can I do to fix the issues (can I switch to IPad 2)?

My new Ipad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of reception. In the same location, my Windows 7 PC and Andorid Smart phone can connect to the same WIFI without any issues. How can I fix it? Without WIFI, the WIFI only IPAD is nearly useless. If it cannot be fixed, can I get a replacement for IPad 2?

Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. If defective, you'll get a replacement.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

MY iphone 4s cannot connect to wifi after updating to ios 8.1.1

after updating to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 4s cannot connect to wifi at all.
at first, connection will show up, but when i tried to connect, i will see the wifi logo but after 15 or 30 seconds, connection will be lost again.
i will try again, but this time, my phone will hang, i need to restart but then, wifi will not work at all.
it will show that its searching for network but its not. then it will hang again,
after this, give up already.

I have an HP Photosmart 7510 & cannot connect by WiFi, I have tried the support fix with no success.

Hi
I have an HP Photosmart 7510 & cannot connect by WiFi, I have tried the support fix with no success.
I have tried the suggested from below;
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02817031&cc=uk&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=507...
I have not tried to assign the static IP address suggested in step 6 on the web link above, I am not that technical & do not fully understand how to perform this task & am surprised HP expect retail client to follow this, if is a bit technical I think you must agree.
Anyway, the WiFi or Wireless blue led is blinking.
If I try to discover my wireless network, it is not displaye like it used , nor are my neighbors, my mobile Samsung Galaxy S displays my network and my neighbors when the phone in placed by my 7510.
When I try to enter the SSID & key, my 7510 times out without connecting to my router.
My pc is connected directly to my router (Buffalo) and I use a Fujitsu Desktop running Win 7 32bit.
By the way, I have done a "Factory reset" to my 7510 & this did not help at all.
Can anyone help?
Is my 7510 faulty?
Thanks in advance.

I saw your post and forwarded it to the right people for their review. You should hear back from someone shortly via private message on this Forum.

Cannot connect to wifi on iphone 4

All of a sudden, neither my wife nor I can connect to wifi on our iphone 4's. It is not my home network because I cannot connect anywhere. I got the most recent update but she did not. I have reset my network settings to no avail. still get message "unable to connect ..."

I cannot connect to wifi on my iphone 4s. How did you solve the problem?

Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update

Can't connect to wifi network after iOS update.

This does not work in my case.
Situation: we have wifi at home using WPA encryption.
The iPod Touch 8GB connected seamless to this network and anything was ok. After some days i could no longer connect, the iPod told me "connection to network 'networkname here' failed". Deleting the network and reenter the (correct) passphrase was no help, but changing the SSID on the router was helpful: the iPod could connect again ... for several days.
Now things stopped working again. Resetting network settings did not help either.
The iPod can see the network, is asking me for the passphrase and after several seconds telling me: can't connect. On the router log i don't even see a dhcp request, but other laptops work fine with the same wifi network.
That's a mess, i cannot and will not change the SSID every some days just to get the iPod working again.

Since upgrading to iOS 5.1.1 I cannot connect to wifi. I damaged my last phone so Apple replaced it with my current phone but since I've had it it won't connect. The 'choose a Network' message just has a whirly circle like it trying to connect. I've tried resetting my phone and resetting my router but it doesn't work. Can anyone help? I'm now getting a message saying I need to back up to iCloud but I can't do this without connecting to wifi.

Thanks but this has not helped. I've booked an appointment at the Apple store on Snday. Helpfully they will be able to fix it without charging me alive only had this phone since May this year.

I can't connect to wifi network and bluetooth on iPhone 4S. Need help. Have already rebooted everything and reset network setting

I have the same problem; tried a phone restore, both restoring data and setting up as new phone with factory settings, reset all settings, re-boot, remove apostrophe, put in fridge, you name it!
I think there's quite a few iphone 4s users with the same problem!
I called Apple they said it's a hardware problem, but it has worked for nearly two years; they say go to the Apple store and they can provide a replacement phone for approx. £150!
I've been into the O2 shop where I bought it and they knew the problem exactly; said they had sent a few phones off for repair and had them back awith a report they cannot fix it because it's a software problem!
An assistant in the shop had the same issues; logic says it's a software problem and hopefully Apple will fix it with a patch but at the moment they seem to be avoiding everyones comments!
If anyone else has any ideas these would be appreciated?

I cannot connect to wifi on my S5 anywhere I go.

I cannot connect to wifi on my S5 anywhere I go. I thought Verizon had one of the best networks? I just got my S5 in August and I NEVER had any problem with my iphone. I am regretting getting this phone. I thought I should be able to be on Verizon's network, but I can never connect when I'm at work, and when I get home, I have to go in and manually connect to my home network, instead of it just connecting automatically. I really, really, hate this phone and regret getting it. Cutomer service was not helpful, and I tried taking out the battery and sim card to no avail. What am I missing?

Not having those problems at all with my phone and it automatically connects at home to wifi and no problems when I am away. Wifi is not Verizons network so your post is confusing. Can you not connect to 4G through Verizon either? Have you gone into a Verizon store to have them look at it and see if maybe the phone is defective? Mary

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.
