HELP!! Macbook wont stay connected automatically to wifi? why?

I live in apartments with tons of wifi signals. I have a secured wifi and no matter how many times i enter my password and everything my macbook wont stay connect automatically to my home wifi.
I have to use diagnostic assistance every time to connect to my wifi. It wont work. I have read some of these other forums but the suggestions don't work. Tried adding unsecured wifi signals to preferred and move to bottom and mine to top. no luck. I don't understand the DNS option so i didn't try it. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE, ANYONE
THANKS!

When you live in an area with lots of wifi signals you are in a situation that may cause degradation to your own wifi network.
When the 54g channels were created it turned out only 3 of those channels can be used, 1, 6 or 11.
all the other channels bleed.
So you should use a wireless sniffer such as air radar
Then look for the 3 strongest signals that are close to you. Then change the channel your wifi is broadcasting on to channel number 1, 6 or 11.
Unfortunately you may find that no matter what channel you use you are going to be close to someone else on the same channel.
The solution is to upgrade your network to a wireless N network. Using the 5ghz high band channels you have many more channels to use.
regarding your network diagnostics dont list any other network other than your own in the preferred networks. Regarding DNS your router should automatically assign a dns server.

IPOD TOUCH NOT STAYING CONNECTED TO MY WIFI!!!!

my ipod touch wont stay connected to my wifi but my wifi is perfectly good and works for everything else. what do i do??

I would try resetting your Router, leave it off for 30 seconds and then turn it on again.
It may be running alright on your computers because it hasn't had chance to drop the connection yet. So try doing this, once it has fully been reset try connecting again.
Also, if your wi-fi is password protected, try clearing the password and type it in again.
Hope this helps!

IPad 2 wont stay connected to wifi after iOS 6 update

Since my latest update a few weeks ago, my ipad wont stay connected to wifi networks. Has anyone found a solution to this? Why would the latest update have impacted this function?

I tried the suggestion, from another post, to reset the network settings and that did not work.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. 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.

Ipod touch wont stay connected at home

Ipod touch 5th gen wont stay connected to wifi at home while it is locked. this inhabits me from getting alerts when i want them most, at home. it stays connected the the server at school and at all my friends houses, but not mine here at home. i did the network reset on my ipod and it still disconnects. any ideas?

Power off and then back on your router
Get a new router.
Since it only happens with your home network that indicates a problem with your home network

Do you know how to keep my mac pro air to connect automatically to wifi

I have problem keeping my Mac pro air to connect automatically to wifi .

It depends on what your settings are set at.
Are you talking about to your own Network, or are you talking about recognising and connecting to Hot Spots.
Go up to the left of the date and you will see the Airport Icon single click it and it should give you the Networks that you are in range of, You connect by choosing the network you want to join. If you need more info be more specific what you need.

Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced, and see if your network appears in Preferred Networks. If not, do it

If you're trying use your hotspot and connected to wifi on your iphone, does the wifi stop working and start using your data instead of staying connected to the wifi?

Thanks for the quick response. What you have said makes sense but there is no rhyme or reason to he data used. I reset my cellular data counter to zero so both sent and received read zero. I was connected to wifi and let the phone to go into sleep mode. I waited about ten minutes and sent myself the same email four times, each with a 750 kb attachment. It was sent to my .me address so it was push mail on my phone. Sure enough I checked a minute later while bringing the phone out of sleep mode and checked the data. It showed just 10kb sent but 1mb received which just doesn't tally with the 4 x 750kb mails received. It just isn't making sense.
He knows what you asked and has already answered it!
I thought I had read where the iOS4 (or maybe just the iPhone 4) was supposed to be able to keep wifi connections alive while inactive. If the phone is sitting there on a charger with a wifi connection available, why use the 3G?

I just recently purchase an ipad with retina display it is also my first apply product and I am not liking it. First it won't stay connected to my wifi and it won't pair on my nokia N8 phone via bluetooth. Any suggestion? Thanks!

No one from Apple here - this is a user-to-user forum for the Apple Thunderbolt Display. If you don't like your iPad, sell it.

My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?

you need to open the keychain access located in your utilities folder in the applications and once in the keychain on the left side click on the words system at the top and in the lower section click on passwords
next look in the striped area for any passwords that say airport network password next to kind and highlight those and hit delete on the keyboard to remove them from the keychain.
once you remove all of these airport passwords, quit the keychain
turn wifi off then back on, select your wifi network from the list and enter the password telling it to save to keychain this should resolve your issue!

HT1222 Since I downloaded my update my iPad will not stay connected to the wifi. Why? & how can I fix it?

SInce I downloaded the new iOS6 update on my ipad2, it will not stay connected to my wifi. Does anyone know why or how to fix it?

Hm, posting on this forum didn't fix it for me.

HT1695 My iPhone 4S won't stay connected to my wifi any longer.

My iPhone 4S won't stay connected to my wifi any longer. This just started after the recent update to iOS 6.1.2 (or 6.1.1). If I do a reboot, it'll connect the first time, but then drops later, and won't reconnect until I reboot again. Any suggestions?

i have a similar problem except i've a 3GS. i took the phone to the "Genius Bar" and the "Geniuses" there did nothing more than clean out the lint that had accumulated over the past three years.
here's the link to my thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3947285
I've done everything possible with the phone and my router at home (though, as you can tell from reading what i've done, anything related to my router at home is moot because th eissue persists anywhere i go...) all i can think is that it's a OS issue some how. I may try to wipe and install an older OS or jail break it to see what happens.
My bets are on what people have said to me though in passing: this is Apple's way of making people want to move onto the iPhive (name trademarked by me!) due to frustrations with their iPhour or iPhthree (that doesn't work so well does it...).

Simply make sure that your printer is on and connected to the same wireless network as your MacBook. In this case, you can be sure your Mac is connected to the printer
