Computer recognizes a wifi connection but does not connect to it?

I Was in Moscow, and only using secure connections but now (away from Russia), still can't get to the internet.
I See the wifi access points but the computer doesn't connect to them.
Ideas?

Hello Peter Kertesz,
It sounds like you are able to see the Wi-Fi connection you want to use, but cannot connect to it. I would use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue. There is a lot of information in there, but stick with it and it should lead you to a resolution:

  • Device is connected to to a wifi network but does not have access to Blackberry services over wifi connection

    please help me, my blackberry curve has been working perfectly fine (everything network and wifi connection are working great) since i got it but all of the sudden when i connect to our wifi at home i noticed that the wifi logo on the upper screen is grayed out. i checked the manual and it says: device is connected to to a wifi network but does not have access to Blackberry services over wifi connection. i dont  know what to do, i tried the hard reset (removed batt for 1 min while phone is on and put it back in) i also tried to remove the wifi profile and added it back up but still nothing seems to work, my service provider has BB services available on my phone, i can received BBM, pushed email, use FB on my phone using my network but i cant use my wifi to browse.. what should i do? help me please!

    With a PC, the Windows Firewall and/or the anti-virus software will sometimes block an attempted Internet connection.
    Check both applications to see if you can find a "blocked" item and then take steps to "allow" the connection.
    If still no luck, temporarily disable the wireless security for a short period to see if the PC can connect that way. If it can.....then you know it is security related issue.
    See if the PC can connect using a setting like WPA-PSK-TKIP. The equivalent Apple setting would be WPA/WPA2 Personal.

  • I am trying to set up the MiFi4620L jetpack to my brother-in-laws computer, which has WIFI.  It does not recognize the jetpack.  What do I need to do?

    I recently put in a new SIMS card to our MiFi4620L Jetpack.  When I was at the Verizon Store the person who was helping me was able to sign onto the internet via the jetpack.  Now that I have my brother-in-laws computer, which has WIFI, I am unable to set up the Jetpack.  It does not recognize it.  What do I need to do to get it set up?

    If the PC cannot "See" the Jetpack then that means one of the following has happened:
    1. The wireless adapter in the PC is defective
    2. The Jetpack is defective
    3. The wireless adapter on the PC cannot see the signal coming from the Jetpack (2.4 Ghz vs. 5.0 Ghz)
    4. There are too many competing wireless signals and the PC cannot see the signal from the Jetpack
    Solving 1 and 2 is a simple matter of trial and error.  Confirm that the PC can see and connect to other networks.  Confirm that the Jetpack can connect to other PCs.  After that you need to check the specs on the Jetpack and the PC wireless card to make sure they are compatible.  If they are but the Jetpack is still not visible then that usually means the air is too crowded with competing SSIDs/Network names.  This is common in urban/apartment/dorm scenarios where multiple signals are exposed to a single machine.  The solution is either to move to an area with less competition, convert to an Ethernet cable via a wireless bridging device, or migrate to 5.0 Ghz (this jetpack only works on 2.4 Ghz).

  • HT1688 Cannot connect to WiFi on my iOS7 devices.  It shows connection to the WiFi router but does not connect to anything online. All other non-iOS7 devices are working fine.  Please advise.

    I am unable to connect to WiFi on my iOS7 devices. I have an iPhone 5 and a iPad.  The WiFi symbol shows connection to my wireless router but no internet connection is received.  My other non-iOS7 devices are connecting without any problems.  I have tried resetting network settings on both devices and rebooting my router with no luck.
    Please advise.

  • My Iphone calendar connects with my wifes calendar but does not connect with my ipadmini

    My Iphone calendar will connect with my wife's ipad calendar but I cannot get it to connect to my new ipad mini calendar.  What to do?

    My experience with hotel wifi is that it's an open, and unsecured, connection, but unless you agree to their terms on a launch page, you can't go any further or connect. Sometimes I need to force safari to come up and even make it go to a page, to trigger the auto load of the 'agree to our terms' page.
    Unless your machine is work provided so maybe could be blocked from unsecured net access?

  • Ipod 4 wifi loads but does not check

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My laptop recognizes my iPhone 3gs but does not recognize my iPhone 5.

    I can sync my old phone on my laptop but not the new one. I can't even see it as a camera.

    I have tried all USB ports, deleted and reinstalled all the Apple software (itunes, ADS and Bonjour), rebooted both laptop and phone and rebooted PC with only microsoft services at start up.

  • BB recognized by computer & Desktop Manager, but does not connect?

    All right, I've scoured these forums and can't figure this out. Tell me if I've missed something.
    Blackberry is recognized by my computer AND by Desktop Manager, but does not fully connect so I can sync. I can see it in My Computer, and the Desktop Manager does recognize the model of smartphone when it's plugged in. Both Windows, and Desktop Manager ask me for my password when I connect the USB cord. However, it just says 'connecting' in the bottom right, and never gets past that. When the phone is initially plugged in, the screen goes to the clock (normal), and flashes the 'connection' screen (BB and computer icons connecting with a cord). It flashes that screen twice then goes back to the clock. The Desktop Manager then just keeps trying to connect, until I unplug it. Both the computer and desktop manager recognize when I've unplugged it.
    Running:
    Windows 7, 64bit
    Desktop Manager 6.1.0.35
    Blackberry Tour 9630
    This is a new computer. I was running Windows XP with Desktop Manager 6.1.0.35 previously, and it worked no problem, but that is no longer an option.
    The goal is to be able to sync with Outlook 2007. Need very badly to be able to do this.
    Did all the simple stuff:
    Oh so many Windows restarts,
    Blackberry battery pull, both unplugged and plugged into computer with Desktop Manager running,
    Desktop manager reinstall,
    plugged into every different USB port,
    tried a different cord.
    Went deeper:
    BB USB drivers fully up to date
    Turned OFF USB power management on all my ports in device manager,
    Disabled USB selective suspend setting
    Deleted my intellisync folder in appdata/roaming,
    Turned off Windows UAC notifications,
    Tried every combination of BB memory compression on and off, or mass storage mode on and off,
    There might be more I've tried but don't remember. I've been searching the net for days now.
    Please let me know if there's anything else I can try. This is a serious issue for me right now, I need to be able to sync with Outlook 2007.
    Thanks in advance

  • HT1386 My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?

    Hi, My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?
    Documents say
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it....
    But I can't see my iPad Mini in iTunes.
    And my  Ipad  (Settings, General, iTunes Wifi Sinc)  shows  a message :" Sync will resume when xxx(my PC with iTunes) is available "...
    Both are in the same network,
      Ipad mini is is plugged in to power
    . iTunes is open on the computer
    what can i Do ???

    Hi Skydiver119,  and tks for four interest.
    I have done exactly as you say, but it does not work for me.
    You indicated  " Navigate to the info tab and scroll down. There'll be a check box for 'sync over wifi' or something to that effect. Check that box and sync to affirm your choice."
    I navigated to Summary tab (not Info Tab) and checked "Sync with this ipad over Wi-Fi"
    I disconnect the wire,
    and my iPad disappears from my iTunes screen.
    in my iPad ->Settings -> General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> says " Sync will resume when (my PC) is available.
    So, I can not sync via wi-fi
    I appreciate if you can help me.

  • How do i fix my wifi if it connects and the bars are blue but no check sign appears next to the wifi name and does not connect to the internet???

    How do i fix my wifi if it connects and the bars are blue but no check sign appears next to the wifi name and does not connect to the internet???

    Did you already try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data.
    If this does not work, try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset. After that you'll have to put in the passwords for all known networks again.

  • My Ipad connects with my hotel wifi, but does not indicate that it is a secure wifi, even though it requires a password to access - no lock symbol, hence no password request, hence no internet access - help.

    My IPad connects with my hotel wifi, but does not indicate that it is a secure wifi, even though it requires a password to access - no lock symbol appears against the wifi network, hence no password request, hence no internet access - help. My collegue who also has an Ipad can access the same wifi with ease, so it must be something to do with the settings on my machine, although checking the two machines, there appears to be no difference in the settings.

    My experience with hotel wifi is that it's an open, and unsecured, connection, but unless you agree to their terms on a launch page, you can't go any further or connect. Sometimes I need to force safari to come up and even make it go to a page, to trigger the auto load of the 'agree to our terms' page.
