Cannot connect to Wifi with mobile phones.

Hi all, yesterday I started having a problem with connecting my phone and all the phones in my house to the web on my homehub3 wirelessly.
I've had BT infinity for well over a year now and never had any problems, but suddenly yesterday morning I can't connect to any of the Google services (google website, play store, google+ etc) any apps which connect to the web will not work (wikipedia app, my daughter's BBM app etc), also the smart TV in the house will not connect either. Ican access bookmarked websites on my phone but cannot search because while I can connect to search engines the server always times out before returning search results. Laptops in the house appear to work fine though.
I have reset the router and homehub several times, but nothing seems to work. The family use different phone models and Android versions (Galaxy S2, Galaxy S4 & HTC One M8, running Jellybean & KitKat)so it doesn't appear thats the problem
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
Solved!

Lumia 820 cannot connect hidden WIFI with special ...

Dear all,
I found Lumia 820 could not connect hidden WIFI (non-broadcast SSID) with special configuration. Just as shahidzafar said in Microsoft community (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp8-wpnetwork/nokia-lumia-820-cant-connect-to-hidd...). I face the same issue with his Lumia. Could anyone face the same issue? Do we need to update some patch for Windows system on Lumia? Thanks.
Tianhao.

I have exactly the same problem. Would appreciate some advice.
Please don't suggest changing the settings in the corporate network - this is simply impossible. And unnecessary, as I can judge from the other Windows-phones of my colleagues (not Lumia 820) which CAN connect to the hidden network.
Thanks!

I cannot connect to wifi with ios7. It will not find any network. What do I do?

Ever since I updated to ios7, my iPhone 5 has been having problems connecting to wifi. When I go into Settings, it is unable to find the network at home, at school, in public areas, etc. I know that the internet and wifi work in my house because my fiance is able to find and connect to it on his phone no problem. I tried resetting the network settings but that did not help. What can I do? Apple should fix this if it's a bug with ios7. I've been having SO many problems with this update.

Cannot connect to WIFI with WPA2 enterprise security

I'm currently trying to switch my Wifi from WPA2 Personal to WPA2 Enterprise using a dd-wrt flashed TP-Link router and a Synology Diskstation as the RADIUS server. The diskstation also creates the CA certificate which I can download from there for all client devices.
Configuration on the side of the router appears to be fine, I've entered all the details for RADIUS authentication and left "WPA Algorithms" at its default setting "TKIP", other options being ("AES" and "TKIP+AES"). I said it appears to be fine because my Android phone connection is established succesfully using the following (default) parameters:
EAP method: PEAP
Phase 2 Auth: NONE (also works with MSCHAPV2, and probably other options)
CA cert: unspecified (didn't download it to smartphone, must be fetched automatically from router I guess)
User cert: unspecified
Identity: myDiskstationUsername
Anonymous Identity: (blank)
Password: myDiskstationPassword
So far, so good... I still cannot manage to get a connection from my laptop running Arch. Prefered method would be via "wicd". The best match seems to be the following configuration profile:
name = PEAP with TKIP/MSCHAPV2
author = Fralaltro
version = 1
require identity *Identity password *Password
optional ca_cert *Path_to_CA_Cert
protected password *Password
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="$_ESSID"
scan_ssid=$_SCAN
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=PEAP
identity="$_IDENTITY"
password="$_PASSWORD"
ca_cert="$_CA_CERT"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
But it's not working, both with and without specifing the optional path to the CA certificate. Any ideas what I could've been missing or any clues for debugging?

IOS 6 update - cannot connect to wifi with proxy

We have 300 IPad 2's to configure and they cant connect to our wifi. Since the upgrade we can no longer connect our proxy network as we did before. We use an explicit proxy where we manually enter the proxy address. WPA2 Security. We contacted Apple support and after an hour they said they didn’t know how to resolve the issue and needed to research. This was 5 days ago so im reaching out to the Apple community. We contacted our proxy support BlueCoat and they have escalated the issue to their top level support. After the iOS 6 update we are basically dead in the water.
We select DHCP under our network settings and select Manual under the http Proxy settings. After filling in the Server, port, authentication info and try to connect, it immediately brings up a safari page that states "Error Opening Page - Hotspot login cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server".
The other issue we have even with iOS 5 is we could not connect to https sites.

Our school is having a similar problem with the iPads that were updated to iOS6. We don't use a proxy but we have a Sonicwall and the user has to login to the Sonicwall before the device can have Internet access.
Here is what I have found and maybe it will help you. The problem (for us) is that immediately after the iPad is connected to our Wifi it tries to contact the Apple servers in California. This connection is blocked by the firewall because the user has not had the opportunity to login to the firewall. The iPad opens a screen that is not part of Safari to allow the user to log into the firewall but they can't because a pop-up window is needed and this application has no settings to allow pop-ups. Under normal circumstances the user would open Safari and login but if we try to switch to Safari it cancels the connection attempt and disconnects from the Wifi. Obviously, this means we no longer have a connection to our Sonicwall.
The trick I am using to make it work is this. (Keep in mind, we don't normally use proxy settings). I set the http proxy setting for the particular network to AUTO. This causes enough confusion in the iPad that, if I am quick enough, I can open Safari and log into the firewall real quick. Once that is done it will work fine....until the user goes to a different access point.

I Cannot connect to Wifi with Verizon iPhone 4.2.10

My phone automatically upgraded to 4.2.10. I was using it over wifi then it lost the connection. I tried to re-connect and all the iPhone says is "password incorrect". I connect via a timecapsule.
I know I am typing in the right password. In fact, I have a MacBook air and an iPad connected to the Timecapsule and it uses the same password and using WPA/WPA2 - personal security.
I have read of problems like this for upgrades to 4.2.1 but I have not heard yet of any real solution. Anyone know what I should do?

If you tried all appropriate steps included with the link proivided, do you connect your iPhone to any other wi-fi network besides your own?
If so, any problem connecting with any other wi-fi network besides your own?
If the same with every wi-fi network your iPhone has access to, if there is no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone and/or after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, your iPhone has a hardware problem. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

Cannot connect to wifi with new iPad or iphone5

Everything was fine before ios6 update? Do I need a new router or what? This is very frustrating and it seems apple is doing nothing! Not acceptable!

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

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.

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.

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
If nothing above has helped, try here > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

My Ipad will not connect with Itunes prompt states this Ipad cannot connect because the Apple mobile device service has not started "??s "This Ipad cannot connect

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

IPhone 4 having trouble connecting to wifi with redirect

Hi all,
I was wondering if someone out there can help me. I have an iPhone 4 running 5.0.1. Ever since i upgraded to iOs 5, i have noticed trouble connecting to the wifi at work. At home and school the phone connects perfectly. At work we have a redirect page. When going under safari it just uses my mobile network (which is not that strong). I check the wifi menu and it seems as if it is "trying" to connect...it shows the grey pinwheel spinning next to the correct netowrk but nothing ever happens. I try to "renew lease", i turn off wifi, i reset the phone. Sometimes it connects first try. Other times it takes HOURS. I assumed maybe it was just the network, so i attempted to try to connect my nook, and the nook connects right away. I never touched any settings, but i am very confused on to what may be going on here to explain the type of problem i am having since iOs 5. Thank you in advance.
Jenn

You'll need to provide complete details before anyone will be able to offer suggestions.
For future posts, please don't put a lot of excess characters in the subject line. Just a brief summary of the problem - e.g. "iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.01 cannot connect to WiFi" - will be sufficent. I've asked the Hosts to edit out the superfluous junk.
Regards.

Bold 9700 cannot connect to Wifi

i'm using Blackberry Bold 9700. i bought this bb from Thailand and it's unlock phone. i was able to use wifi before when i were in Thailand. Later i came to US my bb unable to use wifi wherever in US. BTW i'm using T-mobile. the problem is, when i went to wifi option and scan for networks,i found the hotspot then i'd connected but it's still not working. the wifi symbol is shown up on my bb home screen but it's in gray color. it should be in black. and i cannot connect to internet from my phone at all. Please help

Hello Michael,
The router settings are okay. Both the phone's wi-fi settings were activated at almost the same time with only 1-2 minutes difference and both the screen say "connected" to wi-fi and the router's or wi-fi's name appear next to the carrier's or cellular network's name. And yes, it asked for a password before I could access the Internet. This was both the case for my phones, but only one of them can really access the wi-fi without a SIM card and without a data or BlackBerry Service provided on a plan by a cellular network.
I think you are right that it has something to do with the encryption because on my BB Curve8900, the UK network Orange's settings found in Advanced Options are left stored on the phone while the BB Bold 9700 is empty.
Please help if you can.
Thanks!
Bernard

How do i connect to wifi with ipad?

I just recieved my ipad 2. i cannot connect to wifi...help?

Ok so I have been battling with the same issue for a while now and have finally managed to crack it.
I have a Huawei 3G router that has been working for my PC;s and iPhone for a few years now. I then bought an iPad3 (3G and Wifi) and could just not connect it to the wifi network.
Fortunately I have a spare Linksys router (WRT320N) which has a setting to change the Wireless band from 2.4GHz to 5Ghz with 20/40MHz pipe. After changing this no problem iPad could connect.
So now I have 2 wireless networks running with internet connectivity only on the 3G so I plugged a lan cable from the 3G router into the internet port on the Linksys, set the Linksys up with a static internet connection and now I can access the internet via this method on the iPad.
Funny thing is, my iPhone cannot connect to the Linksys my laptop can however. Anyway so now I connect the iPad via the Linksys router and the iPhone via the 3G router.
I think Apple have pretty much messed up with the wireless bands on their products.......it would appear that they don't understand ? If they did they would make it pretty clear and from my efforts to try and sort this out i see there are many people out there, like me, who are laymen and there is no where that this is explained properly.
Most of the installed base of wireless routers I would think are on the 2.5GHz band, I say this beacause there are virtually NO wifi networks out there that I can connect to.
This is a huge frustration and a pretty poor reflection on Apple. So much for MOBILITY!!!!!
