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.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Reboot your router by unplugging it for a couple of minutes, then try it again.

Can I connect more than one device to home hub?

I am a new user and have my PC connected to my home hub and all works well.
My husband has just got an ANDROID and we want to connect as well. I thought I was doing it ok and entered the security key but all I get is authenticating and not much else and it does not connect. Have I missed something do I have to put anything else in other than the security key?
It connects ok to the external BTwifi and BT Wifi with Fon but of course we are not supposed to do that.
Sue

it may be a problem with your Android (whatever model) as any home hub or WiFi router should take loads of other devices I am not sure there is a limit but I have 8 connected.
If you have anyone else that has a tablet or phone that you can get them to test to see if the problem is with the hub or your android device.
The only other thing I can suggest is that if it is a home hub 4 which also uses 5Ghz as well as 2.4Ghz some people have had problems with 5Ghz and if you can see both from your device selecting the 2.4Ghz may help.

Connecting Mobile Phone to HomeHub2

For a year or so now I have had no problems connecting my HTC Legend phone to the internet. Now I cannot connect at all. The phone picks up the strong wireless signal, but the connection process stops at 'Obtaining address'. It's the same problem on the previous Hub. It isn't a phone problem - it connects to the internet via all other available wifis I've tried, including the Vodafone shop. It would seem to be a Hub fault. Help please!

Assuming that you are trying to connect to your own home hub, as sometimes people have mistaken an adjacent home hub for their own.
I guess you have entered the correct wireless key, checking that the it is identical in case and letter/number combination.
The next thing to try is to change the wireless mode to B/G only, and select WPA only, and not WPA/WPA2.
See if any of these help.

VOIP phone not working on Home Hub 5

Hi,
I've a IP phone that was provided by my employers so that I can work from home when required. It was working perfectly for years - and then all of a sudden the other party cannot hear me (but i can hear them).
It was working on the HH5, the only change to my setup was that I was upgraded from Infinity Option 1 to unlimited.
When I connect the phone it connects to a server in work which then dowloads config and then provides a VPN into work so that its just like i'm sitting at my desk. all connects ok, but as I say when a call is placed, the other party cannot hear me but I can hear them.
I've did the following:
1. Factory Reset the Router
2. Factory Reset the phone
3. Tried 3 different phones and also a softclient application on my computer.
4. Checked that my Hub IP Address is the same as my Public IP Address (Which it is)
5. Disabled the Web Address Help.
Phone gets allocated an IP Address by the Hub.
My Boss has the same setup (and Broadband provider) has no problems with his setup.
I've contacted BT twice - 1st time I was put on "Hold" and stayed that way - basically the call placed on hold until I hung up.
2nd time I was told that it would cost me to get this resolved. (even though it was working in the first place.)
I was wondering if anyone could help? The setup is that I plug the phone in and it works. (well it did!)
I didn't have to make any alterations to my hub.
I'm in close contact with the company who provide our company with phones, and they have explained (in detail!) their findings and how they belive that either my HH5 or the broadband is causing the issue.
Thanks.
Mac

How to connect airport time capsule to BT home hub 4

I am finding it difficult to connect my new airport time capsule (ATC) to the BT home hub 4. On opening the time machine it asks me to configure the time capsule before using. Should I be using the ATC as time machine only or should I be re-routing wireless from the ATC.

Make sure the MBA has ipv6 set to link-local only for wireless.
I strongly recommend using short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TCgen5 and TCwifi
In fact if you keep having wireless issues.. with the MBA in the same room as the TC, change the wireless name to TC24ghz and TC5ghz so you have different names for both bands and see if that doesn't help.. try to connect to this band and then the other.
Use WPA2 personal security.. password 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
Do not hide the wireless.. that is against the code and simply leads to issues.
If you still have issues.. post back.. does the MBA work ok on other routers or wireless access points??

Can't connect Kindle Fire HD to BT Home Hub 3

I've just bought a Kindle Fire HD and can't get it to connect to my BT Home Hub (I think it's a 3) I have an ipad and iphone and they are connecting fine....help?

See link for connecting an Android tablet. It should be more or less the same for a Kindle Fire.

Make sure you use the wireless passkey found on the label of the hub and not the admin password or your email password.

BT and Java - Btl2Cap Connection (Mobile phone and Digital Pen)

Hi!
First a short Introduction:
For a project I have to stream data from Maxell Penit DP201(4.1) to a mobile device (over a midlet). Data Connection is built up over Bluetooth.
My Questions are: Is btl2cap the right method for connecting digital pen and mobile phone?
If yes, is the btl2cap string correct?
The pens device adress is 00-07-CF-56-05-5D
Does anyone know a sample application like this I want to program?
Structure;
package /
Midlet
Class extending thread
Here's the code:
public void run() {
    //Bluetooth
    //String connString = "btspp://0007808303AA:1;master=false";
    String connString = "btl2cap://localhost:0007cf56055d;ReceiveMTU=512;TransmitMTU=512";
    System.out.println(connString);
    try {
            LocalDevice local = LocalDevice.getLocalDevice( ) ;
// build ServiceRecord
            local.setDiscoverable(DiscoveryAgent.GIAC);
L2CAPConnectionNotifier service = (L2CAPConnectionNotifier)
Connector.open(connString);
ServiceRecord sr = local.getRecord(service);
// accept Connection
L2CAPConnection connection = (L2CAPConnection ) service.acceptAndOpen( );
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }Thanks to all who can help me to reach the next step in my project.
Best regards

Hi,
The reason for the compilation error is that the IDE is not able to find the jar file where bluetooth api is packed. try to put the jar file in lib directory of the project. Some IDE generates class files even though there are some compilation errors in java file.
So it is better to resolve compilation errors before putting it in the device.
The reason why the app freezes in the device is that you have not used a seperate thread to do the inquiry, try to use a thread where the inquiry will be done so that the apps main thread will respond to the user input.
Hope this help you.

Connecting with a Wireless Printer on Home Hub 3.

How do I get a XP Notebook to connect with the HP Photosmart 6510 connected wirelessly to my BT Home Hub 3.
My Network Places shows BT Home Hub 3.
Double click on HH3 and scrolling down to My Home Network.
You can see HPFE0AAB under wireless network, which is the HP Photosmart 6510.
According to the Photosmart it’s url is 192.168.7.71 and it is correctly connected to the hub.
The XP Notebook does have the relevant basic printing drivers installed for the Photosmart.
Perhaps I should add that I gave up trying to connect the Windows 8 Desktop to the printer wirelessly and used a USB instead. I’m not sure if the problem is with the set up of the Notebook or the Hub. I have tried turning off firewalls which so far seems to make no difference. I am running MSE on the Notebook and Defender on the Desk Top.
I've tried so many approaches I'mgoing round in circles.
Solved!

Here are the GENERAL steps on how to add a wireless printer on your wireless network.
As you have said that it is already connected and visible to the network it is a case of checking the settings below then if ok go to “adding printer to your networked computer” section
The wireless printer must have a static (i.e., manual) IP address assigned to it from your network IP address range. It cannot be DHCP enabled, otherwise every time DHCP assigns a new address, your printer port will stop working.
How to set a manual IP address on your printer:
When the printer is connected to the network the first time, the router will assign an IP address to it. To get the IP address that the printer was assigned, find the printer on your network and right click on it. It will bring up a properties box. The IP address for the printer will be found somewhere in there.
Using an Internet browser, type the IP address of the printer into the address line of the browser and press enter. It should bring up a printer configuration window.
Now, since each printer is different, I can't give you the exact steps, HOWEVER, here's what you are looking for:
Find a Network - TCP/IP configuration menu. Somewhere in that menu, it will give you the choice of setting a manual or static IP address versus a DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) assigned address.
You want to manually set the IP address to the address given on the configuration page. This would normally be 192.168.1.xx. The subnet mask will normally be 255.255.255.0 and the gateway will normally be the IP of the router, usually 192.168.1.254
Once the IP address is assigned permanently to the printer as a static address, you are now ready to add the printer to each computer on your network.
Add the Printer to Your Networked Computers
In Windows XP, follow these steps to add the wireless printer to your computer:
Go to Start, Printers and Faxes.
Double click on Add Printer
Click Next.
On the Local or Network Printer dialog box, choose Local Printer and UNCHECK the box that says "Automatically detect" the printer. Click Next.
On the Select a Printer Port window, choose to Create a New Port, and then under Type of Port, choose Standard TCP/IP port. Click Next.
Make sure the printer is On and Ready, and connected to the network. Click Next.
Type in the static IP address of the printer that you set in the steps above. Click Next.
It will then try to connect to that IP address. It you typed it wrong, or the printer is off, it will come back and give you an error.
If all is well, it should then ask you for the printer driver. Either set it to find the driver that you have previously installed or insert the CD for the printer, and find the Windows XP version of the driver.
Then choose the driver you want to install.
Click Next. It will install the driver and ask you to name the printer.
When it is done, click Finish. (You can choose to print a test page if you want).
Hope this helps.

Connecting time capsule wirelessly to BT home hub

Help unable to set up time capsule to wirelessly join my BT home hub (original white home hub for use in UK). Goes through all the stages then when restarts can't find airport device. Took it to local genius bar and worked fine there. Is this a problem peculiar to home hubs?

ESM@ESM, welcome to the discussion area!
In order to "Join a wireless network", you need to know the exact type of wireless security that your BT Home Hub is using, so you can provide those settings to the Time Capsule. It cannot join your network unless you have the correct settings.
It would be much easier to configure your Time Capsule to connect to your Home Hub using an ethernet cable. This will still allow you to use your Home Hub wireless network for backups, and you'll also have the option to use ethernet for backups, which will allow you to backup much more quickly. Can you consider that option?

Problems connecting Wii via wi-fi to Home Hub 5

Sorry if this has been posted before. New Home Hub 5 - but my Wii will not connect to the internet - although it clearly can see the hub. Nintendo book suggests using a static IP address or checking for MAC filtering - how DO i get into hub manager???

Use this link
http://bthomehub.home/
It could also be that the Wii has a problem with the dual frequencies on the Homehub 5.
Try giving the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies different SSids. Just add a 5 to the end of the 5Ghz SSid so you know which is which. Check the 5 GHz Sync with 2.4 GHz: is set to NO.
You'll need to connect your other devices that can use both frequencies to both SSids if you want them to be able to use both frequencies.
See this link
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44798/~/i-have-problems-connecting-5ghz-and-dual-band...
It might be that your Wii can not use the security that the homehub uses. You may have to change the WPA/WPA2 security to WEP on the 2.4Ghz frequency.
See link how to do that.

Most of the menu bar disappears on connecting mobile phone

So, I have a strange glitch happen when I connect my Mobile Phone under Snow Leopard.
Once I connect it, a new icon appears, showing five progressively bigger bars (just like a network measure), I suppose it's something to do with the mobile phone's network connectivity/modem.
Anyways, a few seconds later, the following message appears:
'A new network interface has been detected.'
After this, most of my icons on the menu bar disappear, including the wi-fi, bluetooth, battery, date, clock, etc. Spotlight intermittently appears and disappears, but I can't use it at all (neither by clicking or using the shortcut).
I have created a new user account, and the exact same problem happens, so I suppose it's not my user account problem.
I'm using a Sony Ericsson device, btw.
Just wondering if someone else had this problem?
The device has bluetooth ruined, so I need to connect it to sync, etc (as well as recharge).
Since I believe this is somehow related to SL trying to create a new Network connection through the mobile phone, and I don't really care about that, is there any way I can disable SL to NOT try to establish a modem connection with it automatically?
Disabling it really doesn't work, because SL simply creates a new one automatically, which is kinda silly, and I really don't get why it does that...
cheers.

I'm having this exact problem as well. (Spotlight's behaviour is actually SystemUIServer crashing and restarting in an endless loop.)
I'm going to submit this to the Bug Reporter but temporary workarounds are very welcome since it's frustrating to have to log out and in again every time I plug my cell phone in!
