jornjr,
Hmm, that is odd let's get to the bottom of this and ensure you can connect to all wifi connections. Please try this: Settings> WiFi> Menu> Advanced> Uncheck Smart Network Switch. Also ensure your "Keep WiFi on during sleep" here are the steps for that: Settings> WiFi> Menu> Advanced> Ensure Keep WiFi on during sleep is set to "Always". Please let us know if this helps.

HELP: Can't connect to the internet with new mini

Hi
I've just unpacked the new mini I bought today. I use a LAN that I set up myself. I use a Linksys Router 11Mb/s. All computers atached to it work fine, including an iBook G4 with Airport Extreme.
The Mini does recognize my network via Airport, and the Airport card MAC adress is already in the authorize list, but still does not connect.
Worse, I plug an Etherner Cable to the plug that works with a PC, but still no internet. I set up a manual IP adress instead of DHCP. Still no internet. I reinstalled the entire OS X, from start, still no internet.
Any ideas, anyone ? Thanks !
pd: This is frustrating, I just brought it from the store today

Try turning your router/modem off. Now connect the ethernet cable to the mini and the router and restart the router/modem. If it works, update the system.
When connecting airport, make sure you turn off the router/modem, and then take out the ethernet cable and then restart the router/modem and then power up your mac mini and set up airport.
If the above does not work, RESET the modem/router to its default settings. Once trained, use a ethernet connected Mac to set it up (the Mini perhaps).
I am suggesting this because I had to turn off my router to connect one of my Macs before I could surf the net. i also find resetting the router can sometimes iron out connection issues.

MacBook Pro 2010 Can't Connect To Home Wifi

Hey,
My home was setup with a Cisco Linkysys wireless router (about 2 years old) and at the time the iMac that was hardwired to the router and other devices like an iPod/ iPhone and a Nintendo DS etc. would be able to access the home network. I arrive now (to the parents home) and can't seem to gain access to the network. I was able to connect once and use the internet but the next day couldn't connect again. We've confirmed many times the password is correct, reset the linkysys router and tried again but failed. I would see the router and have full or high signal but upon entering I would get either an "Invalid password" or "Connection timedout" error response. I also tried Network Diagnostics and Assistant walk throughs under the Assit Me... button but didn't work. I've also tried choosing the network in Network Preferences under the drop down menu Network Name and entering the password there but to no avail.
Then recently got another wireless router (Airport Extreme, I figured I we could use another one for the home anyway) yesterday, and did the setup and other devices and the hardwired iMac all can connect and use the internet off of it. I am currented hardwired to it via ethernet and all though I am right next to the new Apple router, and have full bars, I can't connect. The most I have gotten was being connected with full bars for a few moments and then the exclamation point coming up in the Airport icon. BTW, for the past 2 days I have been connecting to free wifi at another public place so I'm really not sure what is going on. Both networks (the Linksys created one and now the Apple one) are protected via WPA2 Personal. My notebook is only a year old show that should be fine too, no?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm at a trouble shooting dead end from my mind's perspective.
Thanks,
Brian

I have the same issue. Was working fine until Saturday when Rogers reset my modem because we lost our internet connection. Our modem is direct connected to our PC and we connec with the Macbook through wifi.
When the modem rebooted we got an IP error and they had to do a renew and release. Since then - no wifi on macbook.
every time we try to join our home network it gives a password wrong error. The password is not wrong. Airport is a solid yellow light. Ethernet is red.
I am not great with macs and I have scoured the net and I cannot figure this out

IPhone 5s can't connect to Home-Wifi?

Hello I have a iPhone 5s gold 16GB AT&T and it's not able to connect to my home-wifi.
I got it Dec 24, 2013. It was always able to connect to my old wifi with (WEP, default name, default password, no encryption)
I now have a new Wifi Network which has very high security compared to my old one. My wireless provider is Comcast, Salinas.
My new wireless network info is: (HOME-8752, WPA2-Personal, Encryption Type: AES, 16-character network security key, Federal Information Processing Standards: Disabled). My HP Pavilion g6 laptop and PS3 can connect to the WiFi perfectly fine, while my iPhone 5s cannot. Can someone please help me? I've already called Comcast about my PC WiFi not working and it works now, but my iPhone 5s doesn't work.
Also, a bit of a side-question but if anyone knows should I enable FIPS, what is it? Does that affect my iPhone 5s? Does FIPS make it more secure? From what I've read it's for government affiliates. Not sure though.

Installed IOS7 for IPad~now can't connect to home WiFi, but worked @Library.So IOS7 doesn't like Sky Yahoo

For days I have been unable to use my IPAD except to view what is already there. I downloaded IOS7 and all was ok for about a week but suddenly one morning I woke up to find that my gadget doesn't want to connect WiFi via my home provider. This happens to be Sky Yahoo. So, short of changing providers, I don't know what to do. Only purchased my IPAD 2 in June this year but am already wishing that I had chosen the Samsung Galaxy Note. (it was a close call).The tech guys in the shop have tried to help but as soon as I am out of range of the shop I am back to square one. Called in at my local library today and had no problem connecting to their WiFi.
Can i "uninstall" IOS7 or is there a way round this problem before I go crazy? This is being sent from my laptop, obviously. Any and all help gratefully accepted.....especially if it works.

You can't downgrade the iOS.
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.
Double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. You may have many open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign.

Trouble connecting to home WIFI with iphone5

Hi, I am currently experience technifcal difficulties with connecting to the internet (WIFI) with the iPhone 5.
After a day of purchasing the phone i have already used half of my internet data plan....assumingly that i was using WIFI as i have connected it to my home network..however that did not work and now i cant log into the intet using my own home WIFI
Will getting a new iPhone 5 help solve this issues?
Please help!!!

The iPhone is designed after a period of non-use to disconnect the wifi, however upon waking the phone it should reconnect within a few seconds. You can try and forget the network and reset network settings, that may fix your issue. You can forget the network by going to Settings, wifi, and tap on the little blue arrow to the right side of your wifi network. Once that next screen opens, you can select Forget this network. Then try and connect again, put in the password and see if it connects. If not, go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings, Then try and join again.

I can't connect to home wifi on 8.3!

I have an iPhone 5s, and recently updated to iOS 8.3. Now I'm having trouble with my internet. Before I updated, my wifi would randomly connect and disconnect, but it wasn't that much of a problem. Now, I can't connect at all. Under my networks, My home wifi comes up, but it won't join when I put the password in. I have reset my network settings, and for about 5 minutes, it worked. Now it's back to not working. I hate using up all my data!!!
Another thing, ever since I got this phone, I have never to my LTE connection to come up. I know it should, because the other two cell phones in the house , the LTE works fine. Any suggestions???

HT204409 Cannot connect to home wifi with iPhone 4s.

IMy iphone does not see my home wifi. Nothing has changed, even after IOS 6. My Ipad and iMAC see and connect just fine. I reset everything on the modem and computers and again everything connects except the 4S. I have verified and or reset all settings including no security. It sees all the other netowrks in the area too. Any suggestion.
BKV

If there is no problem with the iPhone seeing any other available wi-fi networks or connecting with any other wi-fi network your iPhone has access to, not sure how it can't be a problem with your wireless router or network regardless if the iPad and iMac have no problem.
No change after resetting network settings on the iPhone and/or after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

Can't connect to netgear wifi with macbook pro

I have a Netgear N900 router and although I can find the signal I cannot connect to the wifi. Each time I clicked on it, it would fail to connect and say to move closer to the router. However the router has already been upgraded to make the signal strong enough to reach my room. I have tried restarting the router and it has not worked. I have gone into the router through my browser and reserved an IP address and changed my network settings on my computer to "using DHCP with manual address" and entered the reserved IP address. I restarted my computer but now my macbook pro says that it is connected but I can't connect to the internet when i open a browser. I'm not sure if I'm not reserving the IP address correctly or if there is another solution to this problem. If anyone has encountered this problem and found a solution that would be amazing. I have been trying for a month now to fix this. Thanks!

Connecting to home wifi with X8 / X10

I wonder whether anyone might be able to shed some light in a minor irritation I have when connercting my X10 and X8 to my home wifi, please? It might well be a router issue, rather than the phones, but grateful for any thoughts. When I try to connect my phone to the wifi, it shows that my home network is available and with a good signal, but when I try to connect, the phone will think about it for a while, try to connect and then come up with a message saying 'unsuccessful'. If I pull the power cord from the router and put it back in, then try to connect the phone again, it almost invariably works and stays connected as it should. The wifi is secured with WPA and the phones will sometimes show WPA and at other times WPA2 or (I think, from memory) WPA-PSK. The phones connect easily to unsecured wifi, in places such as public libraries - and neighbours who haven't put any security on their wifi systems...! At other times, the phone will connect automatically as soon as I get home, presumably when I have forgotten to switch off the connection when I go out. What I'd really like to do is for the phone to do that every time I get within reach of my router (D-Link DIR-615, if that means anything to anybody and is of any relevance) Any thoughts or suggestions, please, anyone?

I did have a similar issue, however I got around this by installing Wifistatic from the Market, getting the phone to forget the network, disconnect and then reconnect power to the router after which I have not had any issues connecting to my router.

If the padlock is locked it means you need the password for the network. Touch the network and you will be prompted for the password.

IPad and iPhone won't connect to home network with new modem

I had to replace a modem today and after finally getting my computer to connect wirelessly, now my iphone and ipad will not connect. My wifi names did not change, nor did the router - just my modem.

Thanks for the suggestion; already tried that. So I just reset the printer and, even though it already recognized my desktop and laptops, it now sees the iphone and ipad. All is well...
