HT201210 WLAN won't detect any networks!! + WLAN to Wi-Fi?

I recently got a iPhone 5s from China, I moved to the UK in the summer but I went back and got a iPhone as a present. Over here in the UK, WLAN was working fine until a few days ago. I asked one of my tech buddies and he asked me what was WLAN? He showed me his iPhone, the place where it said WLAN said Wi-Fi, he said that might have been the problem and he told me to reset my phone... and it was just the same. Could the region be an issue? My dad got an iPhone 5 last year and within a few days he had the same issue. He got a new one with warranty. Please help!
Thanks

WLAN is just another name for WiFi.
Try using Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

  • My iphone 4s won't detect any wifi networks.

    Hi
    My iPhone 4s won't detect any wireless networks.  It was working fine until last night when the connection dropped int he middle of me watching a programme.  At first I thought it was our router, but I reset that about 5 times, and all other devices are working fine on it.  The phone won't detect any other networks either - if I ask to join a network it comes up with the message "could not scan for wireless networks".  I have tried resetting the network settings as suggested on the support page, but it hasn't worked.  Can anybody help?  Thank you.

    If no change after resetting network settings on the iPhone, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • IMac no longer detecting any networks...

    Hi again all...
    My 24 inch white iMac recently went in for repair after having graphics issues (no other issue ever, everything perfect). It came back, switched it on, runs fast again and has no graphics issues.
    However, Airport now does not seem to be detecting ANY network at all. Normally it would pick up my home network (router in the next room), as well as 1-2 other networks which are likely from other houses nearby. This has always been the same for the life of the computer. My MacBook has absolutely no issues detecting my home network as well as other networks, as per usual.
    I have tried resetting the SMC, PRAM, removing and re-adding Airport, running Network Diagnostics, etc but it just cannot find anything at all. I even tried messing with my router a bit by changing the security a few times, the MacBook detected it fine again, but nothing on the iMac. Same thing after trying another router too. Also, the Airport card seems to be detected fine in System Profiler.
    I cannot seem to figure out what's causing this and how to resolve it. Please can anyone advise me on what else I could try and what the problem could be?
    Thanks, hope you guys can help!

    HI,
    Try changing the Airport Channel.
    Open AirPort Utility (Applications/Utilities)
    Select the device you’re setting up on the left and then click Manual Setup. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    Choose a new channel from the Channel pop-up menu.
    If that doesn't help, go to /Library/Preferences. Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash, restart the iMac.
    If nothing above has helped, try the Airport Troubleshooting Guide here.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210a all-in-one won't display any networks in the list.

    Hi, I recently purchased a HP Photosmart Plus all in one printer and I've been having trouble with it from day one.
    First off, it won't connect wirelessly.
    It won't display any networks in the list when searched for, it won't take my network details when I manually input them and it won't take any static IP address I've tried from other suggestions.
    Secondly, the print quality is very bad. Streaks and fading are occuring and after using up 70% of my ink trying to sort it out through troubleshooting it's still bad.
    It's extremely important for me to be able to have web access using the printer as all members of my household use it and it'll get fustrating having to car laptops and computers around to print.
    Can anybody help at all?

    Top line says "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support"
    I take this as a very bad sign and needs replacing?
    The tests I done produce streaks, fading and lines. I printed off two photos, one from a memory card and one from a scan. The memory card produced heavy blocked lines of color and the scan was just dull.
    I'm using a Wanadoo Wireless Livebox and Windows 7 64 Bit
    One other question... is this like a brilliant printer for photos mainly? I'm a Graphics design student and although my final prints are made from home I would like accurate and decent printouts for my portfolios. Should I keep this or go for another one with similar features and better print quality?

  • 10.5.8 won't detect any external hard drives

    I want to update my 10.5.8 Macbook Pro which I bought in 2008.  It runs incredibly slow, and I want to reformat it before updating with Snow Leopard.  The problem is that my computer won't detect any external disc drives, so I can't back up my important files.  Is there any way to fix this, or is there something I'm missing?
    I'm also wondering if I'll be able to reformat without my original OSX install disc that came with my computer, and if so, how?  Thanks in advance.

    If you are going to be upgrading to OS X Snow Leopard, the installer for that should be able to format your drive for you before you do the installation.  I'm assuming that you have those CD's for your computer as you need discs to be able to ugrade to Snow Leopard.  What happens when you plug in an external drive?  Does it just not recognize the drive, or do you just not have it selected to show the drive on your desktop?  With Finder being the top window, click on the Finder Menu and select preferences > select general in the tabs at the top and then make sure that External discs is checked.

  • Ipod not detecting any networks except mine

    When I first purchased my iPod Touch, it would consistently detect a list of approximately 10 wireless networks (when I was sitting in my living room). My laptop detected the same 10 wireless networks. About a month ago, my iPod stopped detecting any of these other networks. It would still detect my own wireless network, but only if I was in the same room as the router. And even though it would detect my network, it would rarely connect to it. I took my unit back to the store, and the store sent it out for "repairs". I received a refurbished unit.
    The refurbished unit seems to connect to my network a little more frequently, and seems to detect it from a little further away (like upstairs) but it still doesn't detect any of the multiple networks that are in my area.
    It also doesn't detect any networks when I take it downtown to the office district (and when I first purchased my iPod, it would detect like 40 networks when I was downtown).
    What's the deal? And how do I fix this?

    I have the same problem.

  • Windows did not detect any networking hardware, Windows 7, New Hard Drive

    Message "Windows did not detect any networking hardware"
    Satellite P505 S8980 Windows 7 Home Premium.
    I replaced the Toshiba 500 GB HD with 500 GB Seagate.
    Device Manager icon for any device with yellow exclamation mark,
    Click on "Update Driver".  Lan eNet details as follows:
    Antheo - R8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
    Browse to the folder where the setup program has the driver...
    Message: "The best driver software is already installed."
    (But the yellow exclamation mark still harasses me.)
    --- Go to "Setup new connection" ---
    "Choose a connection option"
    Click on "Connect to the Internet"
    Response: "Windows did not detect networking hardware"
    As near as I can tell, that translates from error 0x8E5E0247
    I have this same error on other yellow exclamation marks respective of what kind of device it is.
    => To test my sanity, I put the old hard drive (same size) back in and except for the impact of slowness due to error retries, everything works okay.
    Note:
    Same issue (hardware not detected) for Video adapter and Audio.
    I bought new USB Wireless adapter to test, and the driver installed but not activated because "not digitally signed", and that same issue fits all the above hardware.  I down loaded them from Toshiba, and they are confirmed installed, but not accepted with digitally signed.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled with same results.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'm discovering I am not as well as I thought... running on the  AF hard drive which was built with a copy drive from old format drive which was the product of system recovery disc set.
    Review for context: Advanced Function HDD
    Scenario that exposes harm caused by cloning data from 4K blocks drive to 512 bytes blocked drive (AF)
    Toshiba supplied Windows-7 System Restore Discs: to factory state
    Then I built the Windows-7 Repair  Disc... used later.
    Hard drive was replaced when it caused SMART warning at every system boot.
    Acronis was only utility that quickly detected problem (3 sectors had permanent read errors.) Active@Disk Image and Power Quest Drive Image (Ghost) did not detect the issue.
    I tried Seagate 500 GB and Western digital 500 GB HDD drives as copy target.
    That new drive would not boot: "Required source not found"
    Booted My newly created Windows-7 repair disc, and used to to fix startup.
    See images.
    That worked and then the ST9500423AS disc booted.
    Now... next day I discovered Window Update is not working.
    I get message:
    Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You need to restart your computer.
    I ran Microsoft Fixit for updates.  It says it fixed two items.
    I still have the problem.
    The service shows "started"
    Control Panel/ ACTION Center/ Maintenance/ Check for Updates
     "No action needed"
     "Windows Update does not require any action"
    I checked  Update History...
    ... It is empty, else window is vacant... blank.
    Soooo..... for a sanity check, I swap out hard drive; go back to the old format (which is the one I copied).
    It works!  7 updates to install, including SP1... but I did NOT install them.
    Switch back to the AF drive... Update doesn't work. I am broke again.
    Is this another strange problem caused by the Advance Format issue?
    What to do?
    By the way... I did install an Intel storage Matrix driver  update, but I do not have RAID chip, so that driver is not for me... unless I missed out on something.

  • I purchased recently an ipad 2 wi-fi 3G and the device cannot detect any network, I turned the wi-fi on and reset the network, but still cannot detect the network

    dear friend
    I recently purchased an ipad 2 wi-fi 3G. the device cannot detect any network, I do not know why. I tried to reset the network, but without any vail. could you please tell me what the setps so I can solve the problem. Another problem, I connected the ipad device with cable to my pc, but the pc is not recognizing the device. The pc only shows the pictures on the ipad.

    lets start easy so the we can understand where you are in the process.  Have you set the ipad up using itunes?  if not, you need to do that first.  make sure your computer has the current i tunes version loaded, then plug the pad into the computer.  What kind of computer you using, mac or pc?
    If you haven't set it up, then it does not know to look for any networks.

  • Mac Mini Airport Extreme - Cannot Detect Any Networks

    Hello,
    Last week my Mac Mini (Power PC)'s hard disk crashed. So I did a DIY replacement. I managed to re-install all the software, and installed all the latest updates.
    However, for some reason, the Airport Extreme is not detecting any wireless network after the re-install.
    My own wireless network router is a third-party, which has been working well for the last 2 years. My Window PC and laptop still connects to it fine.
    I can see the Airport icon but it doesn't how any detected networks (and there are quite a few in my neighbourhood). I did Apple Hardware Test and it shows the Airport card to be working ok.
    Any help would be wonderful!
    Regards,

    Mac Mini G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Sorry for the cross-post. I posted wrongly in Airport Express previously.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I saw the thread before I posted and I'm hoping this will be solved soon.
    The main thing that worries me is that in my case, the Mac Mini is not even seeing any networks - zero in an apartment block where there is at least 5 network on the air at any time

  • My X230 won't detect any USB devices..

    hello all,
    I'm from Indonesia, a few days ago I bought lenovo X230 5FA.. but every I pluged in every USB devices, it won't detect on my x230..
    the devices is:
    1. Sandisk Cruser Swicth 16GB.
    2. USB Modem Huawei E169.
    note that I use the latest driver provided by the web support device..
    can anyone help to fix it?
    thanks and sorry if my english not good :-P

    What operating system are you running on your E330 and X230?
    The answer may be found by figuring out why it works on the E330...
    Have you tried to use any other devices in the USB ports besides those 2?
    And were the recognized?
    Did these devices ever work with your X230?
    You could try to roll back to a previous driver update and see if that helps?

  • No WiFi icon and not detecting any networks on new ipad 2

    Hi
    I have a new ipad 2 16G wifi.
    I went through all the setup but have been unable to connect to any networks.
    I have updated software
    I have restored
    I have turned router on / off
    I have made router public
    I have tried to specify the network
    I have reset
    I have turned WiFi on i pad on / off
    All i get is the the little grey spinning wheel.
    Iphone 4, all other wireless devices etc work fine on this network.
    Any suggestions?  i can see that the wireless icon has disappeared for some people when updating software, but i have never had the wifi icon on, despite it saying that wifi is switched on!
    I am starting to think that there may actually just be a fault with the ipad itself....

    There is no network to forget.
    When i try and choose other and mannually input details when i select join it says "Could not scan for wireless networks"
