Home Wifi solved....however, still drops with sprint overdrive

My iPad has been acting crazy since the moment I opened it. The signal strength kept moving from one bar which gave me a great signal to three bars which meant no reception at all!!! Crazy.... Went out a purchased a new Netgear router (rangemax- n 150) and from the moment i installed it the reception bars keep moving up and down often, however, I now get amazing reception all over my house all the time...looks like problem solved. All I did was buy a new router. Also, went out to Borders and star bucks and getting great signal strength. I believe I just needed a new router which means Ipad seems ok. Now, for the other issue. I purchased an sprint overdrive mifi. This thing keeps dropping me out (10 times per hour)!!!!!!!! I'm really confused as to why this is happening. It almost seems like either the iPad or the overdrive can't read each others capability or something. Called sprint and they say the overdrive works fine...called apple and all they said is that they are working on the wifi issue and to hang in there...the employee didnt have a clear answer for me. I have two more days before I can return the iPad...i think I might and get the 3G version instead. Does anyone have an answer for the overdrive issue?

I am using the Verizon MiFi, which is manufactured by the same folks (Novatel) and am having no issues at all.
Did you leave everything at default settings? It is actually a fairly capable Router, and you can login and configure it.

Bought a new iphone 6 with Verizon plan 2/11/15. Tried to connect with my home wifi 3 or 4 times with I thought the correct password but now it says Forget This Network and wont let me try again. Can't its the only network available. How do I clear this and start over. Thanks, this laptop connects fine but this is my first smartphone and I don't see why it gives a crap if I mess up 50 times! Help!

Help is right here for you Omichael! Let's get you conneted
to your home wifi. May I ask are you able to connect to other wifi networks? If
so then please forget your home network again, turn wifi off, reboot, and
retest. If this doesn't work then you will want to reset network settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Keep in mind that
this will delete ALL wifi passwords that you have saved.

[SOLVED] Connection keeps dropping with Broadcom BCM4313

Hi,
I recently installed Arch, and since the problems I had with wireless in Ubuntu still occurred, I went to the wiki.
It told me that brcmsmac is the driver I need, and it's included in the kernel. My wireless card is:
prakhar@sim74stic ~ $ lspci -vnn | grep 14e4:
0a:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:4727] (rev 01)
The problem is, for most APs and Connectify, and my old g router, this driver works perfectly. But I recently bought a newer D-Link 850L router, and I am having a lot of trouble connecting to that:
It connects after multiple timeouts (below).
The speed is typically 1mb/s to 43 mb/s.
It abruptly disconnects and doesn't connect again, even weakly, until reboot.
For debugging:
My android connects to the router perfectly.
I have tried the wiki options, like blacklisting b43.
When I reboot, sometimes, the connection is perfect, max speed n, otherwise, most of the time it's sluggish 1mb/s and disconnects after some time .
This is the dmesg log (repeated multiple times):
[ 943.695234] wlp10s0: direct probe to <mac removed> (try 1/3)
[ 943.898191] wlp10s0: direct probe to <mac removed> (try 2/3)
[ 944.101418] wlp10s0: direct probe to <mac removed> (try 3/3)
[ 944.304643] wlp10s0: authentication with <mac removed> timed out
Even with a perfect connection, this timeout occurs.
Here's all the loaded drivers:
prakhar@sim74stic ~ $ lsmod |grep br
brcmsmac 532342 0
cordic 12352 1 brcmsmac
brcmutil 13093 1 brcmsmac
mac80211 514630 1 brcmsmac
cfg80211 454161 2 brcmsmac,mac80211
bcma 45870 2 brcmsmac
led_class 12859 2 brcmsmac,hp_accel
If I allow b43 to load, this still occurs.
I have tried configuring my router as b, g, n, g/n, b/g/n, and the result is always the same.
On Ubuntu, I tried the broadcom-sta-dkms, and that gave me a good connection, but the networking didn't occurr ie, all hosts (including DNS) were unreachble, even with a correct routing table.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
I have not tried to install/remove any drivers. These are all vanilla linux kernel drivers.

I can't seem to connect to the wiki right now to dig around some more, but try setting packet fragmentation for your wireless interface to something higher. By default it's off.
iw phy # gives you the phy of your interface, probably phy0 at the very top of output

Sorry, didn't help. I verified that it was indeed modifying bu running iw list again.

I have a brand new, just out of the box, ipod touch that will not connec to my home wifi. The connection works with all other devices.

What happens when you try to connect?
Error messages?
Does the iPod see the network?
Have you tried other networks?

I was given an iphone 4s, recently, as a gift from a coworker. However, it is with sprint and i am with att. is there a way i can unlock thisphone to use with my att service?

No. Only Sprint can unlock it, and they only unlock phones for usage with carriers outside of the USA.

My IPhone and iPad stopped connecting to home wifi. Other devices still connect.

My Iphone and IPad just stopped connecting to home Wifi; other divices still work including my IMac

Try resetting your wireless router and modem.
Disconnect the wireless router from the power source followed by disconnecting the modem from the power source. Wait 5 minutes followed by reconnecting the modem to the power source and allow the modem to completely reset before reconnecting the wireless router to the power source.

IPhone will not connect to home WiFi

new iPhone 4 6.0 will not connect to home wifi--other apple products (iPad & other iPhone 4) will connect to home WiFi--I experienced this problem with first iPhone 4 received 11/13--got new phone 11/26 and STILL can not connect

Is this a password protected network? Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. After that, try to connect again. This reset will remove all password and wifi information from the device and should give you a clean start to connect to the home network.

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home. I have restared the phone and toggled the router, still no connection

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home (this is the network I used to update the phone). My iPad however does not seem to have any problem connecting. I have restared the phone, toggled the router, re-entered the network password but there's still no connection.

When your device is trying to connect to the work Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap on the name of the Netowrk that she is having trouble with. Then tap on forget this network. Let the device attempt to connect again and make absolutely sure she is trying to connect to the work network and not a nearby network, then make absolutely sure the password is entered correctly.

When at home with WiFi am I still using 3G data?

When at home with WiFi am I still using 3G data?

WiFi is turned off when the phone goes to sleep to preserve battery life unless the phone is connected to power. So any background data transfers will use cellular data. In addition, a few functions (such as visual voicemail) always use cellular data.
The bigger question is how do you know when it is using cellular data? You cannot use the timestamps on your bill or the carrier's website or iPhone app, because those are the times accumulated usage is reported to the billing system.

HT1695 Anyone else having issues with not being able to get wifi on their iPhone 4S? I can't even switch the wifi button to try and connect to my wifi at home but my iPad still uses the wifi just fine.

I can't even switch the wifi button to try and connect to my wifi at home but my iPad still uses the wifi just fine.

Thank you, I am trying to last option now. Resetting my network settings and if that still doesn't work ill have to go in to the apple store. Hopefully I won't need a new phone because I'm already at my limit with replacements on my AppleCare even though the issue with the phones 3 out of 4 times wasn't my fault and I can't afford to buy another phone.

Macbook air keeps dropping home wifi

My macbook air keeps dropping my home wifi service, I get a message telling me there is no internet service. I still have a PC and it connects to internet service even when my mac cannot so it has nothing to do with the internet provider. I have to delete, reinstall my internet connection a couple of times to try and get it back up and running. I would appreciate any help with this problem!

I got my MacBook Air in December and had the same problem. It was so frustrating I became enraged on more than one occassion--why were my family's PCs, iPads, iPod Touch, Playstation 3, etc. getting reliable (if sometimes slow) WiFi access, and my brand new, expensive Mac was having so many issues, like being unable to connect to the Internet in the first place? !@%$#&^&%%@!
After combing the Internet and trying dozens of "fixes" that fixed nothing, I called Apple support, which advised me that I didn't need to change my router (which is only about 2 years old) but should change my router's security from WEP to WPA2. I did, and it worked...sorta. It was better, but I still had the same problems several times a day (as opposed to several times an hour).
Then, two days ago, I was sitting in the parking lot of the college where my husband and I work, and BAM the Internet was blazing fast on my MacBook Air. I couldn't believe how fast it was. That convinced me that the machine was fine and that it was "my Internet at home" (I'm not a tech person) that was the problem.
So I went out and bought an Airport Extreme router (about $180), brought it home, set it up in about 10 minutes (with our 15 wireless devices attached to the network--4 PCs, 1 Mac, 2 iPod Touches, 2 iPads, a 3DS, 2 Kindles, a wireless printer, a PS3, and a Wii). My MacBook Air has been fan-freaking-tastic ever since (2 days now). I used to avoid certain Web sites b/c I knew they would simply not load or load like crap, but now I can have them all open at once.
I know it's annoying to have to spend so much money to solve this problem, but I'm so happy we did. All our other devices are running faster, too. All I can say is that upgrading the router to the Airport Extreme solved my MacBook Air's hideous Internet issues in my home, at least--who knows what will happen if I have to travel and am stuck in a hotel room trying to do work? Fortunately, I don't travel that often, so I'll jump off that bridge when I come to it.

Why my iphone has poor connection with my home wifi when other smart phones ,don't?

I´ve tried everything!! I also had an experienced technitian to reset my router. Every single tip, was tried out, but I still having the same problem. I only get wifi conjnection when I am very close to the router. Also, If I leave the house, when I am back , the phone is not abble to find the wifi. One of my friends has a galaxy smartphone and it works just fine. I am very desapointed !

My wife's iPhone 5 is have the same kinda issue with her wifi. After update to iOS 7.0.2, all of a sudden, the wifi just *****! It drops out at home and is unable to locate any networ when in fact there are 6 in my neighborhood including the three of my own. Not only wouldn't it connect for very long while at my parents house, it was unable to locate the network. I've tried everything to no avail. After I do a restore, I'm going to give Apple a call tomorrow to see what they say....

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 have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...

I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...
Also, when im viewing websites and i find something i wish to print, same again, if i simply click on the print option at the top right of the screen nothing happens... the only way I can print is if i copy the weblink of the site page then click on my HP eprint app and paste the web link, then select print, it prints off fine.. but its it such a pain to keep copying and pasting links or screen dumping emails just to print...

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home. The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone. How can I fix my MacBook?

My MacBook works fine wifi everywhere except for home. The home wifi is fine with the iPad and iPhone, so I assume the issue is with my computer. My computer works fine on wifi networks elsewhere. The only problem is at home.
The computer "connects to the wifi," but browsers and other internet-dependent software do not work. Curiously, if I connect the ethernet cord that doesn't work either. Usually if I reset the modem to factory settings twice (for some reason, once doesn't do the trick), my computer will fully connect to the wifi. However, in a few days, it goes back to not working.
Today, resetting the modem didn't work. I could only get wifi connection while in safe mode, but not in normal mode. So, the issue seems to be software not hardware. I have tried starting new accounts in normal mode, but those also don't connect properly to internet.
Not sure if this is relevant, but this problem started when my building switched internet providers from ComHem to Telia (I live in Sweden).
What do you recommend I do?
Thanks!
PS I use Snow Leopard: OS 10.6.8

Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

Home Wifi solved....however, still drops with sprint overdrive
