Help - wifi connection to a closed network

I have a blackberry 8900. How do you connect to a closed network via ADSL? The wifi does connect to the router, and I am able to browse the net. The ADSL also allows access to a closed network, but I am unable to access the closed network.
why? if i can access the internet via router, why can i not access the closed network?
thanks

By a closed network, are you referring to your own internal network?

  • Why isn't my wifi connecting over a secure network? I typed the password in correctly, but it won't seem to connect.

    Why isn't my wifi connecting over a secure network? I typed the password in correctly, but it won't seem to connect.

    Tap Settings / Wi-Fi. Tap the blue circle with an arrow to the right of your network then tap: Forget This Network.
    Restart the iPad. Tap Settings / Wi-Fi. Tap the network name again then type in your password.
    If that didn't help, try here >  Apple - Support - iPad - Wi-Fi Assistant
    And try turning off your router for 5 minutes, then turn it back on. Try typing in the password again.

  • I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad.  My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect.  Did not have this problem with previous iOS.

    I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad.  My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect.  Did not have this problem with previous iOS.  Apple, you have a quality assurance issue.  Don't be like Microsoft where they send out pieces of junk with testing it.

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Should iPhone remember connection to a "closed network?"

    I chose to keep my network closed by configuring my Airport Extreme to not broadcast it's network name. Laptops have no trouble remember the settings for my closed network after just one configuration. I just got my new iPhone connected to my Airport Extreme, but it seems to lose or forget the settings after it automatically locks. I then have to reconfigure the Wi-Fi settings of the iPhone to reconnect to my wireless network.
    Is this normal behavior? Shouldn't the iPhone remember the network settings for networks it successfully connects to, even if the network is not broadcasting its SSID?

    Perhaps this is a modem security thing. In France, I use a LiveBox modem. The iphone French help line told me to disconnect then reconnect the modem, wait for 4 buttons to begin flashing and then stay on, until the final 5th button - the one that indicates wifi - starts to flash. During that time, new devices can be added.
    I did this, it worked, the iphone's stayed on wifi for two days. I've gone shopping, taken it for walks, and still it connects, no problems, on return.

  • Connecting to hidden/closed network

    I have all the latest updates for my Macbook Pro, but I've noticed that whenever I restart the computer, it can't connect to my network at school. It's a hidden network, but I have it in my preferred list, so it ought to be able to find it. When I just put the computer to sleep, it can find it when it wakes back up, but if I shut it down or restart it, I have to either select "Other" from the Airport list and re-enter all the information or go to the network options and just enter the password for it again (for some reason it doesn't want to save the passwords for my networks). This happened to me at home when I had that network set up as hidden, so I eventually changed it to open so that I didn't have to deal with it all the time. Is there a step I'm missing somewhere?

    Sometimes the etwork configuration get a little messed up so try going to the network System Preference and remove the network from the perferred networks list. Apply the change and then readd the network and see if that helps.

  • Connect iPhone to closed network

    I currently have my home wi-fi set up to allow only certain MAC addresses. Does the iPhone have a MAc address? If so, how do I find it? If not hopw do I allow access to my network?
    Thanks.

    RS French,
    The iPhone's MAC address is listed in Settings -> General -> About as the WiFi address.
    As for adding it to your allowed list of MAC addresses, you would need to check with the documentation that came with your router, or the manufacturer of your router.
    If its an Airport Base Station you can add it with the Airport Utility from your computer in the Access Control tab.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Trouble Connecting to a Closed Network

    I have been trying to connect to the Network in the lab. Predominately filled with Windows users, no one knows the slightest bit about how to connect a Mac, it uses WPA Authentication with TKIP encryption. I have a username and password but when trying to connect with WPA Enterprise it says the network does not recognize that kind of encryption. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. The windows instructions for setting up a wireless network are at:

    if that helps at all.
    Thanks

    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?

  • Wifi connectivity s400

    Hi,
    I recently purchased an ideapad s400 and I am experiencing wifi connectivity problems. The network goes up and down continuously showing limited connectivity warning.
    As I said, I hava an ideapad s400 running under Lenovo presinstalled windows 8. How can I solve the problem?
    My S/N: CBxxxxxxxx
    Additionally I am experiencing another annoying issue with the sound card: Whenever I scroll up and down the mouse, the speakers throw a 'click'. Any solutions to that?
    Thank you

    I just bought the exact same computer 24 hours ago and I am having the exact same problem! I have tried researching a fix to no avail. My other laptop, a Toshiba is working just fine so I know it's not my wifi.
    I am ready to just return the Lenovo and get a different brand! I really love the laptop except for the CONSTANT connectivity issues!
    If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this-please help!

  • My Wifi connection on my ipad has slowed since installing IOS7?

    I've tried all the reset options; 'forget' wifi connection, airplane mode, reset (network and all settings), then turn off airplane mode and reconnect wifi. No resultThe other option I've been offered is to change settings on my router. Unfortunately, that's impossible if my Safari search engine won't work because of the weak wifi connection so I can't access the router through my browser. Incidentally, my iphone 5 and MacBook are experiencing no such problems and the problem only began on my ipad after installing ios7. So is it not time for Apple to get their finger out and solve this anomaly?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    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 drooping 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.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • Updated to 5.1 this weekend and lost wifi connectivity on iPhone 4 and Ipad 2

    This weekend I updated my iPhone 4 (AT&T) and iPad 2 (Verizon 3G, wifi) to 5.1. Since the update (went flawlessly), I have been unable to connect to wifi networks anywhere. All that I get is the continuously running circle that shows it is trying to connect (but never actually does). I have RESET all Network connections numerous times, did the 'Forget this' connection on everything, etc. They will no longer connect to places that I have always connected to (Home network, CLE Airport, Hilton, Work, etc...). I can connect to all networks fine with my laptop and blackberry, but I just get the constant connection circle with my iPhone and iPad 2. Can anyone offer any other advise?
    I have tried:
    1. Reboot (Soft)
    2. Reboot (Hard (Home and Power button)
    3. Forget WiFi connection
    4. Reset Network Connections
    5. Tried 6 different Wireless (wifi) networks that I have always been able to connect to with no luck.
    6. Airplane Mode with wifi on...
    7. Turned 3G off...
    Desperately awaiting some assistance, I do not have cell connections in our facilities or the hotel, so basically have a useless device right now!

    I have the same problem with my Ipad 2 16gb WiFi, I bought it in US on march (I don´t live in US) I returned to my country and updated the IOS to 5.1.
    One week ago the wifi signal dissapeared, I get the continuously running circle that shows it is trying to connect too.
    I tried to reset it, to restart it, I even erase all content and settings but the problem continues.
    As you can imagine an Ipad without internet connection is useless, I have opened a case in Apple Technical Support.
    All I want to do is to return it
    The question is if It will be possible to replace it or change it by other apple product. I will go to US again next month.

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.
