Home wireless is interrupted by iPad 2?

I do not have a problem connecting to wireless networks with my iPad 2 anywhere, except my own wireless network.  Every other device, including an iPhone, connects to my home wireless without a problem, but when I select my home network with my ipad, the internet stops working for every device, including my desktop computer and the iPad.  The wireless signal appears to be full, but it doesn't  connect.  I figure it is sharing some signal it shouldn't share with my wireless router, and I've spent several hours trying to remedy this, changing channels on the wireless router, and experimenting with other settings, to no avail.  I haven't been able to find someone else with this exact problem so far, any suggestions?

I looked to the client list of devices on the router with their IP and MAC addresses, and my iPad was included in that list. So I went to advanced settings and found that IP address was under a static DHCP table, so I removed it from that. It seemed like it was going to work for a moment because the google page loaded while the wireless appeared to be on, (and my speakers buzzed a little when the wireless signal interacted with them) but now I am thinking it was loading using my edge network (I don't pick up 3G where I live) and the "E" just hadn't appeared yet. It switched itself over to edge network, then back to wireless, and now it is isn't loading anything.  It doesn't say "not connected", but just spins on a white screen.  I have reset my router by pulling the power several times while trying to fix this issue in the past, and I reset it again after making these changes just now. I also restarted my ipad.

  • HT1695 My iPhone 5 will not connect to my home wireless connection.  My ipad works fine.  Now the forget this network and renew lease buttons are gone.  I have several things.  Now it won't even sync to iTunes.  Do I need to go to the apple store?

    Phone will not connect to wireless.  It's been giving me no service this week too.  The apple store is 45 minutes away and I really don't want to go.  Do I need to go there?

    Have you reset the phone by holding the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up? Then if that doesnt work, you need to restore your phone in itunes first from your backup, then if still not, then fron as new.

  • Why can't i connect my ipad to home wireless?

    why can't i connect my ipad to home wireless?

    Is your iPad seeing the Router SSID (Network Name) in the list of networks?  If so what happens when you try to select it? Are you asked for a password? If the network isn't secure then it won't ask you for a password and you should just connect.

  • What info do I need to enter to access my home wireless router when setting up my new IPad?

    While setting up my new IPad I keep having trouble connecting to my home wireless router.  It keeps telling me to pick a wi-fi network from the list it gives me of ones that are available.  I choose my home wi-fi network that is password protected and it places a check mark next to the name.  From that point it does nothing.  It says "connecting to network" and the circle icon appears and seems to be searching for the connection but nothing ever happens.  The lock symbol remains next to my wireless network name and I can't seem to continue with my IPad set-up.  My router (Belkin) has a card where I recorded the information from its set-up and it has a SSID, a password and a network name.  These description don't seem to correspond with the descriptions that my IPad is asking me for and I haven't been able to go further.  PLEASE HELP!! 

    Connect to a router via web browser from another device, open "settings" -> "wireless"( sequence and title of menu depending on model and manufacturer of your router) and try to change wireless mode to 802.11N or if this mode not accessable, to 802.11g mode only. Save this settings( router will reboot) and connect Ipad2.

  • IPad won't connect to home wireless network

    Got my iPad for Christmas and it has worked perfectly until tonight. Out of the blue it wasn't connected to my home wireless network. I reset the modem, powered the iPad off and on again, reset the network settings and reset all settings. No luck, it just keeps searching all of the laptops in the house work just fine ??

  • Iphone 4 showing wrong IP address for home wireless

    2 days ago we reset our home wireless password and updated our devices (ipad, laptop, and two cell phones). Now my iphone 4 will no longer connet to the wireless. It accepts the new password to join the network but it never connects. It is showing wrong IP address. How can I change it to the correct IP ? Tried hard rest, forget network, and renew lease all trying to get it to automatically update the info. Out of ideas. Any suggestions?

    I have the exact same router as you, I have Comcast, and I am having the exact same INFURIATING problem.
    Comcast and Apple have no ideas. Linksys tells me I am having a router problem.
    I even went so far as to buy a new router and modem from Linksys (as they claim they no longer make the router/modem combo because it doesn't work well). I still don't buy this... my PC, my PS3, my DS... all of them connect to the router perfectly.
    I have the new modem and router here and planned to give that a whirl tonight but Comcast was being difficult and saying it could take 72 hours to activate my new modem. Totally unsat. I had them reconnect the WCG200 and I am still trouble shooting to no avail...
    If anyone finds a fix (short of a new router and new modem)... please post!

  • MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

    After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

    It appears an SMC reset was required:
    HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
    Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
    If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

  • Apple devices will no longer recognize home wireless network

    After returning from a week's vacation, I am having difficulty getting my Apple devices (iPads, iPhones, MacBook Pros, etc.) to connect to our home wireless network. I have tried resetting the router and modem numerous times, restarting the devices, resetting the IP address on the MacBook Pro to no avail. At time I do show a connection to the network, however, I cannot access internet, email, etc. This problem also seems to be affecting ALL of our Apple devices, including the ones we left at home. The PC laptop connects just fine, so it does not seem to be a router issue.  Any thoughts?

    Have you called the ISP's tech support line and asked for help?

  • TS1398 I can no longer connect to my home wireless on my ipad2, have done all the suggested fixes, still cannot connect.  Daughter cannot connect her iPod, but husbands laptop is connected to wireless.

    All of a sudden my ipad will not connect to our home wireless.  I have reset the wireless settings, turned my ipad off and back on, turned off wireless and back on, basically have done all of the fixes suggested and still I cannot connect.  My daughter cannot connect her iPod either, but my husbands laptop can and is connected to our wireless.  The wireless is working and until two days ago I had no problems connecting.

    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

  • MacBook Pro only can't find home wireless network

    Hey guys!
    I purchased a 15" retina MacBook Pro by July. It brought Mac OS X Lion with it: I had no problems.
    However, more than a month later I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and I started to have the same problem ALWAYS: sometimes I would be connected to my home wireless network, perfectly fine. However, after shutting down, sleeping, etc, whenever I would turn the Mac on again, it wouldn't find my home network wireless anymore, but it would find e.v.e.r.y and other network available. Also, my phone, iPad, and every other equipment, would find it and work perfectly. After several restarts and wake ups from sleeps, the Mac would eventually magically find it and stay connected for an unpredictable amount of times (sometimes it could find it continuously for some days after some sleeps, and sometimes it wouldn't be found again after some hours of it being found again (assuming the computer went to sleep)). But if I try any other of the available networks it connects with no issue!
    And I've been in this game constantly! I've tried (almost) all the Mountain Lion wifi-related posts in the Internet, but none seems to solve it.
    I have only found a few posts with my related issue, which I recall: the Mac won't find, ONLY, my home network, while any other equipment can, and it can magically find it occasionally, lasting its connection until the next sleep or shut down.
    Help would be really appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Juan

    Hum, good point, the problem may lay with the router compability. My sister, who has ML as original OS has been having the same problem of not finding only our home network, so it seems that the problem lies on Mountain Lion compatibility with the router. I just restarted the router several times and we both got internet at the same time. The question is, as always, how long will it last until it won't find it again.
    Now, focusing on the router.
    Here, in Portugal (as for the rest of the world I don't know), the Internet provider companeis offer their own modems. Not only that, as those modems are both: modems and routers ( http://imageshack.us/scaled/landing/149/ofibrasjaestaabombar.jpg ).
    After writting the above, and re-reading what you said, you lighted me up the idea of entering the modem domain (you know, that url you put and have access to every definiton of the router?)
    Well, the password "type" was selected to "WPA and WPA2". What I did was selecting "WPA2" only. So far it seems that it is working. I'll do some restart tests etc etc and I'll let you know! (Maybe the problem may persist, but I'll only know days from know as it may seem, for know, that it is solved.)
    I'll let you know, and thanks for the help so far, Sig!

  • I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific.  but ...
    it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
    Try this:
    turn you keyboard off
    on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
    if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
    now reset your iPad:  hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
    After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
    now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
         if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
    touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
    touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.

  • Unable to join home wireless network

    One of my iPhones wont join my home wireless network.  Keeps saying password is incorrect.  Two other iPhones, 3 iPads, laptop all join no problem.  Tried resetting wireless settings, did not work.

    I'm having the same problem, but I have an iPhone 4 and mine won't connect to any network. It always says "unable to connect to network". I looked through all of the support forums but all I can find are people saying that its the firmware and that Apple has to fix it in an update or have to switch it out, and my warranty has expired. All of those forums are also from 2009. I don't want to pay for unlimited Internet, so I new this to be fixed. Please help if you at all possibly can.
