IPad3 loses connection to home network and same happens to laptops.

I purchased the new IPad a week ago. Since then, I often lose connection to home network. Cannot join network unless I power off and on the modem/router. This also hapens every morning. The same is now happening with our wireless laptops. Never had any problems all these years until the iPad was introduced to our network. Our Internet provider confirmed that modem/router protocols were set per advice from Apple Support and they did additional tweaking but problem persists. I am thinking of getting a new modem and router but wonder if it is worth it. Has anyone had similar problems where their other devices are having the same connection issues as the iPad? Thanks.

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.

IPhone WiFi will not connect to home network.

iPhone will not connect to home network. WiFi is on and correct password is entered. iPhone error msg says incorrect password. Reloaded network software and did not activate password but iPhone still shows network as locked.

Some people who experience issues connecting to or even seeing there Wireless network should follow these steps.
These steps are just a guideline and its not 100% that it will fix your issue.
Mainly, if the issue persists, its possible there is an issue with your iOS settings or a hardware failure within your iPhone or iPad, specifically the Wifi adapter.
You would want to follow these articles to do a reset & restore prior to saying it is a hardware issue.

#2: Restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
You will need to access your Admin control panel for your router.
If you have an Airport Extreme BaseStation, you just need to open the Airport Admin Utility found in Applications > Utilities Folder.
Enter your credentials and you will have access to the settings from there.
For a PC: Do NOT use the CD that came with your router. That is used for people who do not know how to setup a router properly and these settings will not be available for you in most cases.
If you are using anything other than an Airport BaseStation:
Open a web browser:
In the address bar, type:
192.168.1.1 (Mainly used for Asus, Linksys, etc) or 192.168.0.1 (D-link,Belkin)
How to figure out what the IP address is to type in?
Windows:
Hold down the windows key, then press R. This brings up the run box. In that box type "cmd" (without the quotes) and press enter. In the black box that pops up, type "ipconfig" (without quotes) then hit enter. Your default gateway is the IP address for your router. It will start with 192.168.....
Take that number and put it into the address bar in your browser and hit enter. It will then ask you for a user name and password. For linksys, it's admin for both. If you have another brand, just google "default password for ******" replacing the asterisks with the brand name of the router. Once you have entered the correct user name and password, you're there.
Mac:
1.From the Apple menu, select System Preferences.
2.In System Preferences, from the View menu, select Network.
3.Select the appropriate port. For example, choose Ethernet for broadbandconnections, AirPort for wireless, or Internal Modem for dial-up.
4.Click Advanced... , and in the sheet that opens, click the TCP/IP tab.
The number next to "Router:" is your default gateway.
Once you get into your admin panel do these setting changes.
1.On the router change the channel for the 2.4mhz band to channel 1, 6, or 11 (recommended), rather than auto.
2.Also set that channel width to 20hz only, rather than 20hz or 40hz (Auto)
3.Make sure Security is set to WPA/WPA2-Personal. Anything else will cause issues. (of course, make sure you know your password for security)
4.Make sure to Apply/Save these settings. Sometimes the wireless connectivity will go out during this change and will come back on within 15-30 seconds.
5.On the iPhone/iPad go to Settings > Wi fi > click the blue arrow beside the network > Select Forget network
6.Go to Settings > general > reset > reset network settings
7.Power the phone off and on. Connect again

It's important that you have a steady WiFi connection, ZealousEdge. What phone do you have? Is your phone unable to connect to any WiFi network? If you can, please try deleting the saved WiFi network and re-adding it.

Hello my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi

Hello to all, with my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi. This only happens if I apply protection to the network. Unprotected my Iphone connects fine. Obviously the password to write error-free. I can not figure out what depends on this factor, however, another iphone connects fine. Help me please.

I have a similar,but slightly different problem. My iphone 4 recgonizes my home wifi and shows it under Settings, but will not access it, no signal shown, just 3G. It will access other wifi signals. My wife's iphone works fine, as does an ipad and macbook. This is new for my iphone, about 2-3 days.
Help! I reset network settings and rebooted the router (Apple), no avail

Connected to home network, but cannot access internet on ipad

I have got strong signal on home network but cannot access the internet. Tried resets, etc

It could be a simple problem that needs a reset for the related devices. Other than that, try to control the security settings and passwords of your home network. You might be using WEP password protocol to connect your home network. Try to use WPA protocol instead of WEP. Maybe it will help to solve your problem.

How do I use my wireless Led TV as a second monitor using my home network without any cables? Both of them are connected to home network

How do I use my wireless Led TV as a second monitor to my mac book pro using my home network without any cables? Both of them are connected to home network

Having a gateway there is not going to be a problem. We just need to configure the Time Capsule correctly to work with the 2Wire.
You will need one ethernet cable to connect the 2Wire to the Time Capsule and a second ethernet cable to temporarily connect your computer to the Time Capsule so that it can be configured.
The 2Wire you have now should already be broadcasting a wireless network, so once you have the Time Capsule setup, you will actually have two wireless networks there.
Here's how to configure the Time Capsule to work with the 2Wire:
Connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire to the WAN (circle icon) port on the Time Capsule.
Connect another ethernet cable temporarily from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule
Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab below the row of icons to assign a name for the Time Capsule, a device password (write this down) and adjust time zone settings
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
Wireless Mode....Create a wireless network
Wireless Network Name....Your choice
Radio Mode....Automatic
Channel...Automatic
Wireless Security...WPA/WPA2 Personal
Wireless Password....Your choice (write this down)
Check mark next to....Remember password in keychain
Click the Internet icon
At the bottom, change the setting for Connection Sharing to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Click Update at the lower right and the Time Capsule will restart after 20-25 seconds and you should get the green light.
You should now be able to connect to your Time Capsule wireless network.
I'm not clear on whether you have tried to setup the Time Capsule to backup your computer. Post back if you need some info on that. We may need to start another thread for that as that will be a different subject.

How to connect a "Clear Network" Modem to my Airport Xtreme?

Hello friends. I recently purchased the clear network modem. I need to know how to connect it to my Airport Extreme and get my local network at home working with 4 computers. Thank you!

Except that I don't know much about the Extreme, it should be simple.
Power down the computers, the Extreme, & the Clear Modem, wait 5 minutes, connect an Ethernet cable, (it is one with Ethernet right?), from the Clear Modem to the WAN port of the Extreme, power up the Modem, wait 3 minutes & power up the Extreme, wait 2 minutes & power up the Mac(s).
Windows directions, but basically the same to setup the Extreme to hand out IPs...

Ipad mini wireless connection crashes home network

New ipad mini connects to home wireless network, but other computers on the network lose connection to include the ipad mini. Happens quite frequently. Any ideas on why this is happening? And how to fix?

HI, thanks for your response.
No I do not have the Mac enabled in my router. Just at the point were I can add one new wireless connection there does not appear anything. Unfortunately I this is my only wireless connection so no caomparison with an other working system is possible.

Ipad mini won't stay connected to home network...and I've tried ALL the fixes

I know other people have been posting this problem, but none of the fixes posted in the forums work for me. No matter whether I restart or reset my mini, it only holds the wifi connection for a few minutes. Then, though it says it's still connected, it's not. I've also tried resetting and updating my router, tried re-naming my networks, and tried every different kind of connection (wep, wpa, wpa2) my router can handle. Nothing works for more than a few minutes! Someone please help!
Maybe this additional clue will help: I can connect via cellular, but ONLY if my wireless adapter is turned OFF. I can also connect to other wireless networks - just not my home network.
using OS 6.0.3

You gave a clue - "it says it's still connected, it's not"
If it indicates that it's connected to the router, then it probably is. When you add "it's not", is it because you can't reach the outside world? If so, then the problem is the router is not communicating with the outside or the problem is the channel from router to it's mother at command central. The final nail on the coffin is that you can connect to other wireless networks, not at home. Two strikes on the router. How old is the router, what brand?

Having difficulty connection to home network

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a 2nd generation Ipod touch, and it's refusing to connect to my home wireless network. It's a closed network, but the trouble is that my Ipod isn't even asking for the password; every time I click on my network it just replies "unable to join network", and that's that. The weird thing is that if I ask it to connect to my neighbour's network, it asks for the password. And it has no trouble joining open networks. I don't understand why it won't even ask for the password to my home network.
I am a MAJOR computer novice, so if your solution involves fiddling with the network or router via the computer in ANY WAY, please leave DETAILED instructions on how to do so.
Thank you!

Hi,
Try Resetting Network Settings on the iPod touch by tapping Settings> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings.
Do you see the same issue when trying to join the network?

OJ 6500 E709n, W7,How to change which home network computer receives scan from the printer?

Only one computer of the three on my home network can receive any scan from this wireless printer. It was the first one set up to do that.
That computer is now away at school. How can I change the computer on the network that will receive the scan?
I have tried to change the printer from the printer's Set up on the printer's face, but it only shows the one computer and I can't figure out how to change it to another printer.
Thank you for your help.

Hi AtlArchitect, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are looking into connection options. Due to the age of the printer, there is not software to connect to Windows 7. You do have the option to connect with a USB via the Windows basic print driver. You can find more information here:
