HT4628 WiFi Connect to Work Lap Top at Home?

I have a PC Laptop that I use for work, and I have been trying to get it to run at home using WiFi Connection to my Mac. When I select my home network, it ask for my WPA2 Key Code, and I don't know if I have one or if I do where or how to find it? I never experienced this problem until a recent upgarde of my Apple Software. I'm not real Tech minded, so anyone who can explain how to help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I don't know if this helps, but bluetooth (the latest update) will knock the wireless right off. Is there a bluetooth cell phone, mouse, Motorola head set or printer near by?
Do you have an iPod touch or Nokia 770 device to test the wireless?

Never mind, problem solved. When I retunred to the Network tab the message had changed to "connected, no IP address" so I got that from the WiFi tab and configured the Ethernet manually. Have a nice day @:-)#

Try a hard reset. Hold the power and the home button down at the same time untill you see the apple logo appear. then let go of the buttons

My Ipad 'Systems' shows my WiFi connection is working and all my Apps connect and interact ok but Safari says 'No Response from the Server' the same on my Mail. The WiFi works perfectly on everything else in the house. Any ideas ?

it was not just email it was all internet via safari but all apps including the bank account app. the laptop and pc access the same email servers which work perfectly so it is difficult to blame the servers.
by the way it has now started to work properly at lasst after a whole day of trying to resolve this year.

IPAD - My Wifi connection was working yesterday at home - today not anymore

Can anyone please help me with my IPAD. My Wifi connection was working well until yesterday evening. I started to download 2 movies from itunes, went to bed. This morning, only about 20% of first movie was downloaded and I can't join anymore my Wifi net at home. I have reset connections, gave again password and appears "unable to join network". Other computers at home work well. IPAD can connect to wifi in another house/network, and 3 G works fine... Thanks for any idea on how to repair.

My iphone 4s and ipad 2 both with 7.0.4 update will no longer connect to wifi but non-mac lap top has no issues

my iphone 4s and ipad2 both with 7.0.4 update will no longer connect to wifi.
About three days ago the ability to connect came and went and the connection never lasted more than 10-15 minutes; it has not been able to connect since last night. I do not think it's my wifi router as non-mac lap top has no issues. I have seem many similar questions posted.

Reboot your router by removing all power from it for about 15 seconds. Also, if your router still has its default SSID (such as LINKSYS, DLINK, NETGEAR, etc) change the SSID to something unique. Note that all other devices on your network will have to be reconnected if you change the name, but if the name is still the default that is most likely your problem.
If the SSID is not the default then the reboot should fix it.

Have wifi on lap top at home, new ipad not connecting

My home laptop is connected to internet wi fi at home. Why can I not connect my new ipad to internet too? I am asked for the password which I give, but it is not accepted. . Help please.

Try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn the router unit & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

IPhone 4 - Not saving Wifi connections at work (WPA Enterprise). Help!

Hi everyone
I have an iPhone 4. I have no problem with my phone automatically connecting to my wireless network at home. When I go to work, my IT department gave me the network name, security, etc to connect to the company's wifi network. It connects rather quickly when I enter in the settings. When I turn the phone off and turn it back on again, it will not connect to the wireless network and does not "remember" the settings I have put it. Has anyone had this problem? Any recommendations?

bumping back to the top..... please help!

Why does my wifi connection stop working sometimes?

Hello.
Maybe this has already been answered and I'm sorry but I didnt know what word to use in english to find the exact problem in google lol.
Well, The problem is that my wifi connection seems to stop working sometimes, it takes about 1 to 10 min and then it just comes back. I can notice it because Safari stop to load pages, the appstore doesnt load, and I tried with google chrome : same results
I experience this about 2 to 5 times a day, it's just pretty annoying. The wifi logo shows that it is always connected, it never shows that he is reconnecting
May this be a router problem...? Or simply the computer
My specs : 1,6GHz, intel core i5
2go of RAM. It's a 2 years old MBA
Thanls a lot !

Hi CPUGenuis!
I have an article for you that addresses this situation and will help you troubleshoot this issue:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.
See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Iphone 6 plus wifi connection not working

I don't know what the deal is but, I'm getting notifications of emails, and messages but when I go to the app I have nothing there. The problem has expanded and now apps aren't connecting to any wifi. I thought it might have been 3rd party apps, but now even the app store cannot connect. I've tried my home wifi, and my work wifi. Using my data plan, I have no problems connecting to anything. I'm thinking this is an IOS8 issue that needs a patch. If somebody has any other suggestions, I'm all ears!

I have always used the iPhone's LED flashing alert to notify me when I get a call or text message. While I was on iOS 8 Beta 2-4 it was working fine. I did a clean install of the complete iOS 8 release and ever since then, the flash alert doesn't work.
Sometimes it will work on incoming calls, but will not work on text messages. I've tried soft/hard rebooting, clean wipe and fresh installs, and pretty much anything in between. Now, today I got my 128GB Gold ATT iPhone 6 Plus, and it's the same thing. Updated to iOS 8.1, reset everything/deleted all contents and settings. Both fresh install, and iCloud backups and still no alerts on text messages, but now I get them on calls. I tried my girls ATT 128GB iPhone 6 and she has the same problem too. My old phone was a 64GB iPhone 5S and hers was a 32GB iPhone 5. Everything was good until the official release of iOS 8.
I've tried searching for related issues, and haven't found anything since 2011 with a quick Google search. Most links just tell you how to turn the flash alert on but no new issues. All of my devices are on iOS 8.1. I gave my father my 64GB 5S with a clean install and he still has the issue as well. So, that makes my iPhone 6 Plus, my girls iPhone 6 and my fathers iPhone 5S not flashing LED on messages and sometimes calls. There aren't any custom vibrations enabled on any if the devices. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it a known bug or am I just not doing something right here? i never had an issue before the iOS 8 release. Any help would be appreciated.
Are you a developer? IF so try asking in the developer forum.

When I bootup my Macbook my family's PCs wifi connections stop working !

Hi everybody, when my nephew boots up his Macbook (Snow Leopard 10.6.5) he can regularly surf the web through a wireless router. However the wifi connection on other devices (Windows Vista notebook PCs, Linux Pcs, Windows 2000 PC, Playstation 3 wireless, PSP, Xbox ecc.) stops working. When he shuts off his Macbook, wifi connection on Windows/Linux PCs etc. starts to work again.
I've had similar issues only with a wireless TV signal transmitter (working at 2.54 GHZ). When it is on, wifi connection is impossible, no matter what channel is selected (it has 4 channels).
What to do with my nephew's Macbook? I can see that every 10 seconds Airport is searching for wireless signals (the wifi led on the router blinks), but no other traffic is sent/received so I don't think it's a bandwidth problem.
Can Airport be shut off and can I connect to wifi router without airport using other apps or using a terminal (console) application (I use Linux and many commands are the same, i.e " iwconfig - ifconfig ")?
Maybe it's the transmitting power of MAcbook wifi device (too strong?). Can it be modified? I'm not a Mac guru... In linux there is a command, say "iwconfig wifi0 txpower 20mW " to tell the wifi driver to use 20 mW transmitting power on wifi0 device. In that Macbook the wifi device is called "en1"...
Many thanks in advance for good ideas..!

Many thanks for such a fast answer!
@ a brody
I have so many wifi devices (at least 17) I don't want to create a MAC address filtering rule for each one of them! I don't ever know if my router can accept filters on so many MAC addresses!! But I will try out your suggestion if I can't solve in other way.. Thank you!
@ J D McIninch
Thank you, I will try... However, my router don't need to be restarted to get online again: when my nephew shuts off his Macbook the wifi connection is all ok. How could it be that a routing table gets corrupted when the Macbook is on, and that very same routing table gets repaired as soon as the Macbook is shut down? I'm sure, however, my router is a pre-N one ( Belkin modem/router bought in 2004, 802.11 b/g 54Mb with 125Mb turbo mode feature always turned off for backward wifi compatibility)
Thanks

WIFI connections stop working in lion

Since upgrading to Lion the wifi connection between my computers has stopped working
or ar best works really sloooooowly.
I have 3 macs, I use wifi at times to talk to them all, in particular from my Mac Book Pro
which moves around a lot.
Since the upgrade connecting to my local network has been slow, Today it stopped working completely.
I use CMD-K to call up the network browse and clicking BROWSE I see a list of attached computers. Double clicking the one I want the folders on the remote system pop open very quickly under Snow Leopard. Now it is a big problem and the Mac Book Pro procedure causes nothing at all to happen. This is quite serious BS as I use these tools in this configuration for my work. It is no longer fast, or does not work at all.
The computers I am using
Mac Book Pro mid-2010. i7 with Lion 10.7 and WIFI enabled and internet working ok, just the connect to my other computers is failing.
iMac 20 inch aluminum mid 2008, core 2 duo, WIFI enabled, also ethernet to ADSL modem. Internet OK. Lion 10.7
MacMini late 2010, core 2 duo, Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Ethernet connection to ADSL modem. Internet OK.
Anyone else having a problem like this? Today is the first day it just failed. Today I upgraded the iMac to 10.7 Lion and it is after trying to connect with MB Pro Lion that it just fails to connect to the iMac at all, returns no errors.

I am having the same issue. I've been struggling with figuring out if it's Verizon or Lion because whenever the internet is down on my mac it's also down on my PC, but it began exactly when I upgraded to Lion. I have yet to find an answer to this problem and have been on the phone with Verizon numerous times to try and fix the issue. The only thing that helps is to restart my Verizon modem/router and then my internet is re-established for about 6-8 hours. It's extremely frustrating and the only thing I have been able to find on blogs is that other people are experiencing the same problems without resolution.

Why my ipad 4th gen doesnt update apps using wifi connection instead works on 3G?

MY ipad 4th gen is updating apps only using 3g connection whereas my wifi is working fine with chrome and other softwares, but it doesnt update softwares using wifi connection whic. Is unlimited data for me.

The WiFi only iPad does not have a GPS chip and does location through WiFi routers. Tethering to your iPhone will allow you to use the GPS chip on it and utilize Apple and Google Maps.
