Connected to the wifi but cant acces internet from my ipod, connected to the wifi but cant acces internet from my ipod
I am connected to the wifi and show a strong signal strength but I cannot access the internet from the ipod. Can anybody help?
This reply is about problems with Playbook connecting WPA2 wifi networks.
I would suggest to check what kind of wifi network you are trying to connect to. If its an WPA2, this might help.
I was having the same issue until yesterday.
After spending a couple of nights dealing with BB Support techs, I came up with these steps and worked for me, even though that Playbook should connect automatically as other devices do. Moreover, of course I am not going to ask everyday the IT guys for a router reset.
So here it goes :
1- If you own a lap top/pc connected to your work Wifi network, open the network adapter window on the PC. Go to wifi adapter and left-click on properties in order to display detailed connection status.
2- From there you may obtain a valid subnet mask, Default Gateway, Primary DNS and Secondary DNS.
3- Since the IP Address was already obtained by your Playbook while trying to connect, it will be asking for the same IP each time, so write down the Playbook IP too. You can access it from the wifi? Icon on the wifi configuration screen on the playbook.
(The issue here was that for some reason, my Playbook on "auto IP mode" was choosing a different default
gateway number than the correct one. I still can't figure why, but I'm not going to invest more time on it, until a new software update becomes available and go from there.)
4- In your playbook tap the wifi icon and go to saved networks, tap on edit (pencil) and delete the troubled wifi connection.
5- Create manually a new wifi connection and unselect "auto IP mode". You will have the opportunity to copy all the information mentioned above. IP, Subnet Mask, Primary DNS. Secondary DNS and Default Gateway.
6- Tap save and connect.
Hopefully your Playbook will be online and ready to navigate.

My wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router
my wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router? HELP HOW DO i get wifi back
I recommend that you start with taking a look at the Apple Support article to help you troubleshoot what the issue may be.
If that still doesn't resolve the issue, we will need to get the AirPort icon back on the OS X menu bar to continue. Please try the following:
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar (checked) -
My Ipod is connected to my wifi, but i cant go on the internet.
i have done everthing i know. i have done EVERYTHING on the apple support page, ive disabled my firewall, i reserved my IP adress, i asked to join networks, reset network settings, i even reset my entire ipod. i can join pretty much every other port except mine. i used to have a 3rd generation ipod. i would be able to skype call my ipod, with my new 4th generation (the one with wifi problems) i dont understand, how i can skype the other ipod, but i cant go onto safari or youtube. i also noticed, that my ipod does not say what channel it is on. im wondering if that could be the problem.
Fudgeyberry... have u tried checking your router?? try checking your router and try switching some cables around because one of the cables might be on the wrong place.. that is what happened to me too.. it showed the 3 bars in the ipod saying its connected but couldnt go on the internet.. i found out one cable of the router was on the wrong place.. fixed it.. and it worked :D

Hi, please can someone help me?
Have just returned home from abroad where my iphone 4 worked perfectly.
Now at home it wont receive wifi. It picks up the signal which shows in phones display but cant connect to the internet. Computers and ipod all working fine so I assume it must be a problem with the phone.
Have checked that wifi is turned on and tried resetting phone to no availHello melissa82686,
From your description, it sounds like you may have been using the SMS feature of Continuity in iOS 8. If this is the case and it has somehow become misconfigured after a recent change, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
SMS
With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

Iphone connects to secured wifi network but cant surf the internet
I am trying to connect to the wifi at the office, it's a 64 bit WEP secured network (I enter a 10 character hex key). The Iphone connects to the network and is assigned a valid IP address. But when I try www.google.com or 64.233.167.99 for example, it fails with 'Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding'.
It all works fine at home on my non secured wifi network.
Please, can someone help? Thanks.Are you 100% sure the WiFi at your work has access to get out...and also, I assume they know you are getting on it. Not sure what type of office you are at (eg: large business with network support/admin or at a small office where you or somebody right there set it up).
But if large office with network admin...could be they locked it down with MacAddresses as well. -

My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???
If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds -
After I updated my iphone 4 to the iOS 5.1.1, I cant longer connect to any wifi/internet.
After I updated my loved iphone 4 to the iOS 5.1.1, I cant longer find any internet at the wifi? I know there is a internet connection here, im at that network on my computer, so yeah... it always worked before, until i updated. WHAT TO DO?!
i have reset all the settings, and now im trying to reset the whole iphone.. heelpThis happened to me the same day that ios 5.1.1 came out. I went to iTunes to sync my iPhone, as I normally do. I declined the 5.1.1 upgrade. Shortly after syncing, my phone started acting slow and went to the black screen where the Apple logo usually pops up.
I turned my iPhone on and off. Then, when I tried to connect to the internet, I was told that i had no connection. I went into the wifi screen and it would appear to look for a signal, but never could find any wifi network whatsoever.
I turned my iPhone on and off again. When I went into Settings, the Wi-Fi option was now grayed out and the message where the wifi network name would normally appear showed "No Wi-Fi.'
I restored every possible way. I called Apple Care and they told me to do the same restore which I already did.
Since that didn't help, I went into the Apple store and they looked at the phone, said it was a hardware issue and gave me a "new" phone.
I really don't think it was a hardware issue, as I only had my phone since February and the wifi always worked fine. It's too much of a coincidence that the wifi was working just fine right before the sync but failed right after th sync.
What I do believe might be related to the issue is: prior to the ios 5.1.1 update, there was also a Carrier Update which I declined. I believe that Carrier Update had to do with adding new Hotspot features. That option was never on my phone before, but it appeared in the General -> Network tab after I synced that day. I think iTunes somehow automatically did the Carrier Update and that somehow screwed up the wi-fi option in combination with other unknown factors. My phone is also unlocked from Apple, if that has anything to do with it. -

i cant connect to wifi but my laptop can and my other phones can.ived done all the recommendations in ipad support but still cant connect..what else shall i do?
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 : also when i hold it up and move in the same room ... the speed changes and somewhere speed up ... and in another location speed down ..
thanks for you all ...
Waiting for your support ... as quick as possible ...WiFi signals get stronger the closer the machine is to the router and the less interference/blocking of the signal like via walls with metal in them or of thick concrete.
Since the signal emanates outwards in a sphere, your supposed to place the wireless router in a central location in the building so it covers all areas.
The power of the router also has a affect, if your router is old or something not that powerful like a Airport Express, it doesn't have the ability to filter out other signals or enough punch to get through walls etc. or cover a large area as effectively.
If you buy/have a powerful router of newer make and have issues where there is metal in the walls or thick concrete, then you can buy something like OpenMesh and by using Ethernet cables from the back of the router, extend the WiFi signal into other rooms and areas past the blockage.
