HT204409 Difficulties connecting to wifi at home

I can't connect to my BTHub even though my laptop and other devices can. what do i do?? How do i resolve this problem, because all my apps are unable to download without wifi and my iphone won't let me connect.

Hi Yggdrasil52,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
One thing I would check in this situation is if your network is giving your devices a self-assigned IP address. The following article explains self-assigned IP address and what steps to take if it is not self-assigned as well as what steps to take if it is self-assigned.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap .
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Have a great day,
Joe

    Contact Rhapsody to see if they have or plan to release an update for the app. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

  • My ipod touch won't connect to wifi at home and it use to, it keeps saying my password is wrong

    My ipod touch won't connect to wifi at home, it use to work just fine, now it keeps telling me my password is wrong, but it can't be wrong because it is the same one I have always used. I also have an IPad2 that belongs to my daughter and it connects with our wifi at home with no problem.  But, why is my wifi telling me that my password is wrong.  I have tried everything, we have changed the pass word and that did not work.  We have have taken security off of our wifi and my ipod touch give me another message, but it won't connect to my wifi at home.  Please help... b/c the greatest thing for me is to be able to connect to wifi at home.
    thanks

    I have even shut down my ipod touch to see if it fixes the lack of wifi connection at home but it keeps telling me my password is wrong.  I can connect everywhere else, but not at home.  Pls help my.. I need to connect at home.  Does it matter if we have othere decives like ipads connected to the same wifi.  Because we have an ipad2 and my ipod and up until 1 week ago, we had very little issues keeping both of our devices connected at home.  Eitherway the ipad2 is still working just fine on our home wifi, but my ipod touch keeps refuseing to accept the password.
    Pls help, i am very frustrated and I have tried everything.

  • I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5  Help!

    I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5  Help!

    wifi is wifi, and business hub means very little.. this is area for time capsule discussion.. but the standard measures apply.
    1. Set wireless name (SSID) to a name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Eg your Business Hub call wireless BH. There is no need for names longer than that.
    2. Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to 11 or 6 or 1. Please test in that order. In Eurozone you can add 13 or use it instead of 11. They are the only 3 non-overlapping channels.
    3. Use no security to test.. of course this is unsafe long term.. so this is to test for a few minutes only.
    The only security that should be used with N wireless is WPA2 TKIP-AES .. it can be named several different things ie in Apple routers it is WPA2 personal. Use a passkey of 10-20 characters.. more if you are paranoid, mix of upper and lower case + numerics.. so pure alphanumeric.
    4. If it fails set the mode to G wireless. It is more consistent standard.
    If it still fails buy an Apple router and use that as WAP.

    If you can't perform an iCloud backup (which requires wifi), back up to your computer with iTunes.  Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.
    To troubleshoot your wifi, try unplugging your wireless router for 15 seconds, the plug it back in.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings (note: this erases passwords for previously joined networks).  Then rejoin your wifi and see if it works properly now.

  • Users cannot sign in connected with wifi at home

    Hey
    I need some urgent help with that issue:
    My clients report that they can't sign in to Lync app when they conneted to
    WiFi at home
    when they are trying to connect Lync through 3G or 4G with "auto detect server" - it does works great!
    I don't really know why it happens but I guess it is someting with DNS maybe?
    please note that it happen only with iOS devices
    Thanks!

    Clients sign in using DNS so the first thing to check is if the clients are correctly able to resolve lyncdiscover.contosso.com. Also check 3G\4G to compare DNS resolving to correct\expected IP's
    You haven't mentioned if its the same device they are using or what version of Lync we are talking about here. Also, do you have a mobile APN for your organization? If so the 3G\4G could be considered as on the WAN.

  • My iphone 4, can't connect to wifi at home... new version of IOS was updated version 6.1.3

    i was trying to connect my wifi connections at home but unfortunately i cant connect. i've tried to reboot my router, my phone itself but same thing. i've search on internet how to resolve this by following those instructions but nothing happens. please help!!!
    "Try going to settings, wifi, click on the arrow to the right of your wifi network name, click forget this network, Turn off wifi,  go back out of settings, reset your phone by holding the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up. Then go back into wifi turn it on and resign back into your wifi with your password if it has one."

    This is nothing special:
    turn off wifi in your phone, disconnect modem and router from power, wait 10 seconds, connect the modem and wait till it is fully started, then connect the router to power and wait a few seconds till it has started, then set wifi on in your phone.

  • IPhone can't connect to wifi at home

    periodically my wife's and my iphone can't connect to wifi at our house.  We do have many devices connected - about 7-9 - but it seems like the iphone is at the bottom of the pecking order. No other devices have this problem.   Sometimes when I unplug and replug the router it will connect to the phones.  Do I have a bad router?  

    From personal experience, I have learned that all Apple devices are good for detecting netowrking/wifi issues. My home wifi works great most of the time. When I start having problems with my iPhones, it will progress to the iPads, then the MacBooks, then eventually to the ThinkPads. If I resstart my router when I start having problems with my iPhones, everything else is always happy. I have even gotten tot hte point that I restart my router once a month (usually at 8:00pm on the 1st) and then I don't have any problems with any of my devices cconnecting, even the iPhones.

  • Is anyone else having issues staying connected to WiFi at home?

    Is anyone else having issues with their Iphone5 staying connected to WiFi.  I connect at home to my WiFi and within 5-10 minutes I have been disconnected and having to reconnect once again.  Thanks!

    I'm having problems finding my wifi in my house when my iPhone 3g's wifi was better. Now my iPhone 5 can't even scratch the surface of finding it.

  • Can't connect to wifi at home on MacBook Pro or iPhone 4S

    I recently moved and got set up with a new (cable) internet provider. Since that time, I have been unable to connect to wireless on my MacBook Pro or my iPhone 4S. I can connect via ethernet. I can connect via other people's wireless (coffee shops, library, etc.). Sometimes, I get a "connection timeout error occurred" message. Other times, it looks like wifi is connected, but when I try to visit a URL on a browser, the blue bar moves about a centimeter across the address bar and stops. Email doesn't work, etc. The technician who set up my internet tried for nearly three hours to figure out why it wasn't working and concluded it must be a problem with my computer. It seems odd that I would only have problems at home, but I'm not an expert. Hoping someone here is, and can help. I work from home so this is rather frustrating (especially since connecting via ethernet means sitting in the living room instead of my office and tempting the dog to trip on the cord). Thanks for reading!

    What is the make & model of the new wireless router that you ISP has provided you? Are you able to administer it if needed?
    For the MacBook Pro, try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • Ipad no longer connects to wifi at home

    My iPad (first generation) no longer connects to my wifi network at home.
    I don't have the possibility to "forget this network" in the options from the menu.
    The only thing I can do is re-typing the router password, which I know is correct, but still does not work...
    Please help me!
    Thanks you in advance!
    Gabriele

    If resetting the router does nothing, reset the iPad. Hold down Home and Sleep buttons together until the Apple logo is displayed, then let go. Again, no data or settings are lost.
