How do I input a 6 digit wifi network

I have a network here in the place that I am staying that has a wifi password of 6 digits.
My iPhone is asking me for 8 digits.
Is there a setting on the iPhone that can help me link up the wifi network here?
thanks

If you are not online, you are not communicating with anybody. Any router connection you can access will put you online, the system does not care which particular router is used or where it is.

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.

I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open. It also needs to be on the same network. My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not. He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band. Hope this helps.

How can I set up a guest WiFi network using Time Capsule and Airport Express extension?

Sorry, but it is not possible to "extend" the Guest Network using either wireless or an Ethernet connection.

How to setup a Linksys router as WiFi network -- connecting to Actiontec

With horrible range using the Fios Actiontec router, I went ahead with google searched suggestion to use a second router as my WiFi network. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to properly set up the second router to the Actiontec even with step-by-step instructions.
Can anyone give me step by step instructions to get the second router up and running? Please help!
I wish to set up my second router as a new static connection so my WiFi devices may connect to that network instead of the Actiontec's. I do have Fios TV, so I need a solution that will not interrupt the other services.
I used this set of instructions:
http://smallbusiness.chron.com/set-up-second-router-verizon-fios-60493.html
I put the starting IP as 192.68.1.3
I got up to the input New Static Connection and input 192.68.1.2 and the MAC address of the new router.
When I press Apply, I get the message,"The IP address 192.68.1.2 is illegal for any of the connections subnets." The first time it failed, it stated that the address was used, but now I get this message every time.
I also attempted this set of instructions:
http://www.ehow.com/how_6127815_set-second-router-verizon-fios.html
But I only got up to #6 where I connect to the new router and enter admin. I was unable to access the new router. My browser states that there is no internet connection.
Note: Verizon support has been no help so far. I am at wit's end.

These are the instructions I would use
Can I use my wireless or an extra router along with the Verizon provided router?

I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes to a new instance of iTunes on my brand new Mac... How do I "switch" from one instance of iTunes to another? How do I get the 5 Digit Code Network to come back on my Screen?

I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes on my iBook to a new instance of iTunes on my new Mac... How do I get the 5 digit Network code to come back? Is there anyway for 1st Generation Apple TV to be synched to two instances of iTunes or do I have to choose one or the other? I appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks!

The 5 digit code is every time different. That does not matter. Just integrate every device into your network.
You can connect many computers to Apple TV but syncronisation works exactly with one computer. That's why I use "streaming". But you can sync one computer, then another, and so on. The content on your Apple TV is the content from your computer that has synced last. But you can not mix it.
The new Apple TV has no syncronisation. Everything is streamed,

How to put time capsule on new wifi network

Hi. I moved and now my wifi network name and password are different. How do I reconfigure my time capsule so that it's on the new network without losing any of my exsting information on it?

The Time Capsule is designed to function optimally when it connects to a modem/router using a wired Ethernet connection.
Are you planning to try to configure the Time Capsule to connect to your new network wirelessly?
In either case, you must reset the Time Capsule back to factory default settings and then set it up again to connect to the new network.
To do this....
Power off the Time Capsule for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button first, and then keep holding the reset button in for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the Time Capsule
Release the reset button after the hold period, and allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Now you can reconfigure the Time Capsule again to connect to the new network....and you can use the same Time Capsule device name and device password that you used before if you wish.
Resetting the Time Capsule only affects the network settings, it will not affect any of the data that you have stored on the Time Capsule hard drive.

Is there a limit to how many times you can extend a WiFi Network?

I assume there is a limit based on the number of IPs available but is there a limit to how many times a WiFi network can be extended or is there a limit to how many Airport Extremes can talk to each other?
I know this probably not a concern of the average home user but if you wanted to deploy these in a large building or even a very large piece of property, what's the upper limit?
I already have 3 Airport (n) routers and I was thinking of adding two more. Will i hit a physical limit or just a point of diminishing returns?

Can you clerify by what you mean when you say "remotes" sorry for my ignorance. but just trying to understand.
A remote WDS node is connected to a main or base WDS node wirelessly.
A base WDS node is connected by wire to the interenet.
A relay WDS node relays or passes the wireless signal from a base WDS node to a remote WDS node.
Clients connect to either the base or remote nodes. A relay node can be configured to accept connections from clients as well.
Also This reduction in half is this a limitation be design? Is this caused by the limit in channels or is there some sort or mechanism in place? just curious.
Think about how the remote WDS node needs to communicate with both the base station and the wireless client at the same time, so the available bandwidth is effectively halved as half is used by the remote to connect with the client and the other half is used to connect with the base node.
It's not quite the same as two wireless clients on an individual base station as they would rarely be using the full bandwidth at the same time.

How did non-tech daughter wipe out Wifi Network?

Either my daughter was visited by tech savy aliens, or there was a HUGE glitch in Airport Extreme security. Yesterday, out ISP reported a problem in the system and we had no internet service for a few hours. I was away from home when service was restored. When I got home, I noticed my iPad had no wifi. I went to settings to check and discovered the wifi network name and password I set up two years ago, no longer existed. In its place, was a wifi password protected network named, "Jane Doe's Wifi Network" (substituting Jane Doe for my daughter's name). At first I thought she might be running a hotspot off of her iPhone. But with her iPhone in hand, Personal Hotspot was turned off. I won't go into details of our conversation, but suffice it to say, she had no clue why or how she had done this and gladly gave me the password for this new network. Because of Parental Controls, she has no administrative rights or access to System Preferences on her computer, which is named Her Name. Big hint there I thought. Is it possible after the Internet was restored, she was presented with a screen that asked her if she wanted to set up a new network (defaulting to the name of her computer) and assign it a password? Shudder.
Trying to resolve the issue from our iMac, I discovered that I was unable to delete this new network, our old network had all but vanished although the keychain password for it existed. I deleted the new network password from Keychain and attempted to remove it from the list of networks, but first had to ADD it to the list of networks. I then unchecked remember this network. Even then, this alien network named after my daughter continued to exist, and I could not recreate our old network no matter how many different ways I tried. I also got into the "this Airport has a personal IP address...." so tried doing all of the above again, as well as creating a new location. New / old network would never show up in the list of available networks. Now after midnight, I gave it up and began fresh this morning. I am now looking at my airport extreme setup guide to see how I can re-set it, hoping somewhere in the 41 pages of this 4"x4" manual I will find the solution.
But more importantly, I want to know how this could have happened. It scares the **** out of me that 1-if my daughter could stumble her way through this, anyone else could as well. 2-it will happen again.
Any advice, explanations or suggestions on how to proceed to fix this welcome. Daughter's computer MacBook Pro.
Thanks,
Saje

There are three possibilities here:
1) The Internet outage somehow reset the AirPort Extreme back to factory defaults. This is rare, but I have seen it happen. In that case, a screen would have appeared on any of the computers that were connected to the network...and there would have been a message that would have asked if the user wanted to re-configure the AirPort Extreme.
If this were the case, and your daughter was on the network at the time, AirPort Utility would have used your daughter's name as the default wireless network name and asked her to assign a wireless network password.
2) Your daughter discovered that AirPort Utility on her Mac allowed her access to the settings of the AirPort Extreme and she manually changed the name of the wireless network, also changing the wireless network password. Unless you have a separate "device" password and "wireless network" password, any user that is connected to the network can use AirPort Utility to change the settings on the device.
3) Your daughter held down the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 7-8 seconds, which would have reset the AirPort Extreme back to factory default settings, and she then set up a new wireless network on the AirPort Extreme.
As far as fixing things, you can use AirPort Utility to manually change the name of the wireless network and password back to the old settings, or change them to set up a new wireless network name and password.
If you are not sure how to do this, we'll need to know what operating system your Mac is using to provide the correct steps, since AirPort Utility has different interfaces depending on the operating system of the Mac.

TS1398 I can't get the authentication page to load to input a username for wifi network

I can't get the authorization page to upload so I can enter wifi network username & password

Whenever I log into icloud.com
Using what version of which browser?
iCloud.com requires Safari 6 or later, Firefox 22 or later, or Google Chrome 28 or later. Have you tried all of those?
If you have, have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies?
For the first tine since 1989 I'm thinking about buying a PC.
You'd have exactly the same problems on an 8 year old PC too. It's a bit unreasonable to expect such an old Mac to continue to be compatible as software is constantly updated.
Saying that, I'm still able to access iCloud.com successfully in Safari v5.0.6 on a PowerPC Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8, so the problem you're having is likely to be a browser issue, not something inherently wrong with the computer.
Since all this crap started, Mail won't download my Mac.com or me.com email.
The iCloud.com website is totally unconnected to Mail's ability to download email via IMAP. Have you checked the mail server settings are correctly setup and up-to-date?

How do I connect to my schools wifi network? Help!

ok so I'm at school and to connect to the Internet you need to open a browser and input your student ID and password.. It brings you to a certificate then you sign in. After out sign in a new tab opens and says " you are conncted keep this tab open and connection will refresh in 45 mins. On a laptop it's fine but how do you stay online using an iPhone? I put in my password and username but the problem is safari quits and or refreshes when you leave the tab or press the home button.. How would I use other apps? Anyone elses school do something like this?

on my college's wifi I don't have this problem. At first I thought that I would, but I was able to authenticate in safari and open any other app that connects to the internet. Your school must use a different authentication server. Where I'm at they use "Blue Socket" I think. I never use it though, because 3G is faster because the wireless routers are always over-loaded. If you have an iPhone 3G, you may do just as well to use the 3G connection.

How do I set up a permanent wifi network connection?

Hi all,
I had been using my D-link wireless router for a couple of years, when it just gave up the ghost this week. I happened to have a spare linksys wireless router which I then set up, and it works fine. My desktop pc connects fine, and my visiting friends hp laptop connects fine, on a permanent connection.
However, my MacBook Pro, whenever I close my MacBook, and then open again the next day, or later on that day... When I try to connect via the newtwork symbol in the task bar at the top, I get the message (a connection timeout occured) . Each time, I have to go into system preferences > Network and I have to set up the connection with a different location (current home8!), and retype in my passphrase. I have tried locking the connection so that no changes can occur, but that doesn't help .
Is there a way that I can just make this connection permanent? Why does this only happen on my MacBook, and not the other computers on the netwok?
Thanks.

Some of the following you may have already tried - Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

How can I input the required wep key to enable wifi

Trying to connect to my wifi network with my iPad, however the network needs a WEP key. iPad doesn't seem to be able to input this key, although I have it.
Any ideas..?

The password should be printed on the router's label.
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

HT4972 I upgraded from ios 4.3.x to ios 7, but during final setup I input the lanuage (english) then it asks for the WiFi Network and it will not let me join the network

I upgraded from ios 4.3.3 to ios 7, but during the final setup I input the language (english) and try to connect with my wifi and I get the message unable to join my home network. How can I get past this so I can complete the setup?

Are you using the encryption key code for your home wifi network? The encryption key code is usually located on a sticker on the back of the router.
