Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
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
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Problem with "Home Network" in hub manager

    Hi everyone,
    I had a bit of an issue with my homehub this week where some prolonged decorating caused the hub to be unplugged for most of the day. When the hub was plugged in again it appeared to have performed a factory reset. Now over the past day or two it has had the odd issue that I've needed to sort. My main issue is that currently the "Home Network" option with the Home Hub manager will cause the router to reset and drop connection, however it is only this page. Also the router isn't responding to requests to bthomehub.home and I have to use the IP. I've done a factory reset through the hub manager and set up all my previous settings as were previously, but the lack of access to the "Home Network" page is still a problem and is getting to be frustrating because I have a chromecast unable to connect without being able to turn off smart setup.
    Details of my home hub below, any input would be lovely.
    BT Home Hub 5 (Type A) | Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.173.1.6

    have you tried a factory reset but using the recessed button on back and holding for 20/30 secs until the lights flash?

  • IPod touch not working with home network?

    I know this question has been brought up dozens of times before, but I couldn't find a working solution in any other posts so allow me to explain my situation.
    I got my touch a few months ago, it was working fine with my unsecured home network. Now, the ipod claims that is connected to my network, however it will not load webpages or anything else that might make it seem like it has an internet connection. When I go to Safari, the page attempts to load for what seems like forever and then comes up with the same message everytime claiming that the server has stopped responding or that the server cannot be found. It does, however, work perfectly with the free Wi-Fi hotspots that I connect with in businesses with no problems at all.
    I have tried:
    Resetting Network Settings
    Resetting iPod (factory restore)
    Resetting my router
    Renewing the Lease on my iPod network connection
    Turning the iPod's Wi-Fi on and off
    Turning the iPod off and back on
    Changing the DNS number to (4.2.2.2,4.2.2.3.)
    I'm not sure if this is significant, but when I am "connected" to my network according to my iPod, it says I have full signal. When I am disconnected and my default network is just on the list of networks, it says that there are only two bars of signal strength.
    Please help, I don't know what is wrong with this thing.

    Have you updated your router firmware lately? If not, please do so.
    DNS is usually provided by your ISP. I would use that unless your other devices can't reach the network either. A good alternative is OpenDNS which you can find out about at opendns.com.
    When you think you are connected, tap Settings > WiFi > then the little blue > next to your network name. What type of IP address are you seeing? If you see that your IP address starts with 164, then you really are not connecting to your network.
    You might want to look at a couple of router settings. What is DHCP set to? (this issues your IP address) and What is MAC address filtering set to? (if this is on and your iPod MAC address has not been entered into the router table, you will not connect). DHCP should be on, MAC address filtering off. Additionally, look at what your default DNS is set to. Most routers have a box to check saying "Use ISP" for DNS.

  • Email not working with home network

    If this is answered elsewhere, my apologies.
    I have a first generation iPhone, which is set up on the wireless network at work and also at my previous apartment. I had no problems receiving e-mails whether over Edge or wirelessly. When I moved into a new building and set up the router, both the phone and Apple Mail on my MacBook refuse to receive e-mail from either work or personal Gmail accounts, though I can browse the Internet at my heart's content on either phone or MacBook and check email through the browser. If I take the phone off the wireless network, it pulls e-mail off the Edge data network just fine, and it continues to work seamlessly at work. I tend to just keep it on Edge now, which isn't ideal, but I get the e-mails that way. I've had a similar problem with random hotel wireless connections as well.
    Anyone experience a similar problem or have a solution? I'm using a Motorola Surfboard router at home and a WPA passcode. Thanks!

    I have been able to surf on Safari over the wireless network on both the phone and computer, and the phone does pull email on the work wireless network and previous home network. Gmail works just fine on the MacBook too, but Mail doesn't want to pull in messages at all.
    I actually played around more with my router (Motorola SBG900) and when I turned the firewall completely off, the e-mail finally pulled properly. Is it worth just leaving the firewall off, or can I adjust the settings so that it will allow the phone to access the network to retrieve mail? In the advanced settings of the router there are a ton of "Port ID's" and depending on Motorola's vague "High" "Medium" "Low" Firewall settings, it allows inbound access to different Port ID's. Thanks!

  • Lost touch with home network

    I'm NOT good at networking. It drives me crazy, so please be gentle:
    I have an iMac connected by ethernet to a Belkin G Plus MIMO Router, which is connected to a cable modem. The router also has ethernet connections to two Replay DVRs, an internet telephone, and wirelessly to a laptop running Win Vista
    This morning I was online with my iMac and lost internet. After fiddling about for the better part of an hour, I plugged the ethernet from the modem directly into the iMac and the internet was just fine, so the problem is with the home network. The name of my home network still appears in the Airport "menulet" and it's checked. In Systems Preferences, in the Airport settings, it also still has the name of my home network, but it says that "Airport has the self-assigned IP address... and will not be able to connect to the internet". Is this the problem?
    In surfing this problem, I did find reference to security settings, and have checked those. My firewall is OFF.
    The laptop, of course, does not connect to the internet now that the home network isn't showing there. Likewise my iPhone doesn't show the wi-fi signal indicator.
    I'll be glad to provide further info. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Uh, it just occurred to me that maybe its the router which has lost internet connectivity. But if thats' true, would it also cease to appear to the laptop even as a "local network"?

    Sorry, I should add that 1) the internet phone still works when connected to the router; 2) when I open the router interface, it shows "connected". It THINKS its connected to the internet.

  • Help with home network.

    Not sure if this is the proper forum for this question, just point me in the right direction if I'm wrong.
    I am a new student in networking, taking the CCNA courses, and now want to rewire my home.  I currently have a cable modem and E2500 setup running my network.  I want to get the modem and router out of my computer room and in the basement where the cable enters the house.  I want to do this to clean up the computer room wiring a bit and to run line drops to different rooms in the house where the internet will be utilized.
    Currently there are two PC's, a laptop, a tablet, sometimes a phone, and an XBOX using the internet.  I want to get my printer back up and running on the network but thats another story. Only one PC is currently hardwired.  I would like to run two cables into the room with the PC and XBOX that are currently using wireless, at least two into the computer room for the PC and network printer, and one or two into the living room for the blue ray player and possibly an internet tv. 
    If these classes are paying off, I believe I can have the modem and router in the basement with a small switch connected to the router to add more ports for my needs.  I was going to use a patch panel to manage and label my cables.
    My first concern is for the wireless signal.  I feel as though I shouldn't have a problem, but I just wanted someone elses opinion.  The only real use will be by the laptop, tablet, and phones mostly on the first floor above the basement.  The wireless signal shouldn't be affected by just one floor, right?
    My next question would be about using the other 3 ports on the router before using ports on the switch.  Should I be using the ports on the router first or should that not matter?  
    Also if anyone could point me in the direction of a fairly cheap(less than $100) switch that would fit my needs I would be grateful.

    Most home routers are omni directional. Technically it is best to have it in a central location. But in good circumstances 1 floor won't make a difference. That is subject to change based on interference though.
    Doesn't matter if you use the rest of the ports on router or a switch first.
    If you run into issues with wireless signal you could run a wire up to a second wireless router and setup a roaming wireless network. Basically turn off dhcp on second router, give it the same SSID and passkey, and a different channel. Clients should roam between whichever signal is stronger after it goes below a certain signal strength.
    If you don't need any link aggregation or vlans and just want a plug in and go unmanaged switch, it is pretty cheap. At that point a switch is a switch is a switch. There's no noticable difference other than port speed.

  • IS it me or did I get poor support from Apple? Any advice on this long one?

    OK, so I’m curious, am I a complete idiot or is something else going on here?
    Please help…
    Here is my story.
    I contact Apple Support for my new Imac. Reason being, I am a PC guy who switched, and have had only one user on the machine the past 45 days. Now since I think I know what I’m doing, I want my wife to have a separate login, and be able to share the same Itunes/Iphoto/Imovie folders. I tried some Google/apple website ideas/book on Mac. But no success. So I call Apple support.(since I am covered for the first 90 days I think) And this is where it gets interesting.
    First guy I talk to, I mention all the above, his first response. "Well, we don't support that kind of issue here, sorry,(after I state the typical, Huh? This doesn’t make sense.) He says, "ok ok, Lets see what we can do. But we are not supposed to be supporting this type of issue.”
    I restate the issue, and he says "Well, I’ve never heard of someone wanting to share the same Itunes folder with another user on the same machine", I explain that there must be some misunderstanding, so I explain again that all I want is to have two different users, be able to share the same music files, and I say that I cant believe that he has never heard of this. The support guy then says," Well, I have handled over 10,000 calls, and I have NEVER had a call asking about this."
    So I then ask for another tech support person, and after a 10 minute hold, I get someone else.
    [First question for everyone, is this normal Apple Support behavior? I have the O'Reily book on switching to the Mac, and they have a couple of pages on the shared Itunes folder, which I explained to the tech and he said he never heard of it.]
    The next guy was an annoying *** who was a know-it-all type. I’m fairly decent in the tech realm and with PC's, and I explained to the guy that I initially created other users, and was playing around with the folder permissions. And I thought that that might be where my problem is. He tells me that I need to follow his instructions, and we end up rebooting, and doing some fsk (or close to this) checks, and some disk repairs. They all come up ok. After finding out that I still cannot get access to my folders in my shared directory, he tells me that all my files are corrupt and that I probably lost them! (in my best Moe the bartender voice) WHAAAA ?!
    I then proceed to my shared folder and do my own (apple I command) and tell the guy the permissions are for the other user. The tech then starts to lecture me that I never told him this and that we need to have a better open communication in a very condescending tone.
    Now, this is the funny part, RIGHT after this lecture, he starts telling my to start putting some files into the public folder and telling me that anything in the public folder will be shared by all users. Public this, public that, blah blah public…I look around, and after a little while I say, there is no public folder here, just the shared folder. "Oh yeah, He says, that’s what I meant to say.." Open communication, Yeah Right!
    We then get my files for Itunes in the shared folder, and finally are able to see the files from both users. But, when either user is in Itunes, we go into the general advanced prefs, and change the default folder to the new Itunes folder for the music, within the shared folder, and go back to Itunes, there is no music coming up. The guys has me restart Itunes, and nothing. We then do the same thing about 3-4 times, including rebooting, and no music comes up within Itunes.
    At this point, my son was becoming a menace, as was my wife for we were supposed to be outside somewhere, and I was beyond frustration, so I just said, get me the case number and Ill call back some other time.
    And get this, later that night, on a whim I open Itunes, see that there is still no music, click on Add to Library, point it to my folder that’s under the shared folder, and it now shows all my music. (whether or not this is correct, is another story, but It looks good to me)
    So, can anyone out there offer any insight to this episode? Am I out of line? Am I missing something? I’m ticked off because I come from the PC realm, and it looks like I never made it t the glorious Mac land yet! Help!
    Oh, as Steve Jobs would say, ONE MORE THING...During all this back and forth multiple user switching, I have the fast user switching on, and when you pick a new user, the really cool cube thing whips around, well, as of last night, it stopped doing it, and would just kind of refresh the monitor to switch users, and as of this morning, the cube thing is now back. I didn’t change anything with this, is this normal too?
    Thanks in advance for any insight!

    Sorry your experience wasn't a plesant one, but most of the issues they work on are hardware in nature, not software.. I'm not taking up for Apple... I'd had my share of run-ins with them as well.
    As for your iTunes issue... an EASY solution is to simply tell iTunes that the location you want your tunes stored in is your Public folder. Items in your public folder can be seen and opened by others, so your wife could easily access the files there.
    For you, go to your Music folder, find the iTunes folder, and drag it to your public folder.
    Next, go to iTuness>Preferences and click on the Advanced tab, then the General Tab, and the first window you see is the iTunes Music Folder Locataion. Click Change, then navigate to the iTunes folder in you Public folder.
    Now, next time you purchase a song from the iTunes store, or import songs from a CD, they will be stored in the iTunes folder, in your public folder.
    You wife does basically the same thing except she navigates to YOUR public folder, and the iTunes folder inside.
    She will have to manually find and import any new songs you add but at least your entire library will be available for her to listen to.
    There are other ways of getting the same thing done, but I think this is the easiest.

  • Suggestions for best home network set up?

    I have a iMac 2.93 Intel i7 with 8GB of memory, I would like to set up a home network to include my apple TV, wireless printer and iPad.  I was using an air port express as a router before the apple TV and once the apple TV was in the mix the Internet speed via the router was cut in half.  My question is how should I set up my home network to get the best results (streaming speeds, Internet etc..)  Is a airport extream in my future or can I utilize what I have to get things going smoothly?  Any suggestions would be appreciated, as of this moment the different techniques I've used have resulted in nothing but slow headaches.

    You may want to post your quesiton in the Airport forum.
    I would be looking at a Dual-channel Time Capsule. The latest release perform better than early versions.
    Do you have any b/g wireless devices on your network?

  • After using hotel wifi,cannot connect to internet at home network

    after using wifi in the hotels this week, i cannot connect to the internet via my home network. I'm connected to the wifi but, can't connect to the internet.

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref:Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Build an All-APPLE home network from the ground up

    I am an Apple/Mac novice, however, I would like to build a home network using an ALL-Apple solution.
    Here is what I have: 3-Story, 20,000sqft home.
    On the 1st Floor I have a separate DSL line that I would like to have a mix of wired and wireless. 3 sound studios to be wired and the remaining floor (home theater and large entertaining area) requires wireless.
    The 2nd and 3rd floor(s) I have a DSL line for "living areas" of the house.
    Each floor is roughly 6800sqft, thick walls, high ceilings...
    I could at any one time have over 100 users connected to the 1st floor wifi and would also need to be able to connect to the 1st floor from the 3rd floor Master Suite.
    I would like to be able to have family members connect to the "living area" wifi anywhere in the house and out near the pool area and not have it broadcast it's network ID. Guests should only connect to the first floor network ID.
    There is CAT5 run to most of the house.
    Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello netaway. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Here is what I have: 3-Story, 20,000sqft home.
    On the 1st Floor I have a separate DSL line that I would like to have a mix of wired and wireless. 3 sound studios to be wired and the remaining floor (home theater and large entertaining area) requires wireless.
    Your network requirements are fairly complex and will, most likely, best be satisfied by hiring a professional to both design and install your network. Having multiple DSL lines and the requirement to have access throughout a 20,000 sq. ft. home would make it difficult to provide any useable advice without actually being there in person.
    With that said, you are basically looking at a "roaming" network configuration. This would necessitate that the home be wired for Ethernet and placing Wireless Access Points at those locations where wireless is desired and Wireless routers (with built-in Ethernet switches) for those locations where you need to support both wired and wireless clients ... like the sound studios and home theater areas.
    I would like to be able to have family members connect to the "living area" wifi anywhere in the house and out near the pool area and not have it broadcast it's network ID. Guests should only connect to the first floor network ID.
    As you are probably aware, like most wireless routers, the AirPorts also offer the feature to not broadcast their Network Name or SSID ... so that in itself should not pose a problem, but beware that a Network Name can still be "found" is someone wants to access your network. Only wireless encryption with a strong password will provide the necessary security.

  • My home network is broken after installing Yosemite

    I have an iMac (early 2010), a Macbook Pro (early 2011) and a PC running Windows 7.
    After installing Yosemite on both my Macs, all home network operations between the apple devices has gone south. Browsing folder on remote computer, transferring files between the computers - either via finder or through shared libraries on iTunes  - everything is now crawling or simply stuck.
    I thought my router may be the problem, but the Windows machine is working just fine when copying files to and from a Mac device.
