I can't connect my ipad to my home wifi?

I can use my hotspot on my iphone. No problem.    But my wireless router isn't even showing up on the ipad settings.  Only sometimes it will appear.  If it does show up it doesn't allow the password to be accepted.  I tried resetting the router and updating the software.  After I did that the router doesn't even register on my ipad now.  I know my router is working because it is working on my other items throughout the house. 
Help.   I don't want to keep using my phone data.

    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.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • How can i connect my touch to my home wifi?

    I currently live in France and can connect my touch to my son's wifi network in England and even in MacDonalds in Poitiers (France) but i am unable to connect to my wifi network at home using the Orange Livebox. Can anyone help?

    Hi m1cha0l,
    Try Resetting Network Settings on the iPod touch, tap Settings> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings.
    What type of wireless network security is running on the Wi-Fi network? How many characters are in the network password? If you are using WEP, you'll want to use a 5 or 13 character password as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1344
    You can avoid the limitations of WEP by using the newer and more secure WPA2 Personal protocol.

  • Hi can i connect hifi digital and my home wifi to airport express.

    Hi i have been thinking about adding my hifi  and sony digital TV to my home network which consist of three mac computers and has a wifi internet connection. What are the advantages of using airport express over bluetooth hardware. Using the male single plug on the airport express what is the sound clarity like from my Iphone. At present it is not very good using earphone jack on my Iphone 4 to Hifi. Will it improve with airport express. What is the difference between airport express and extreem. Lots of questions maybe a few answers. thankyou Paul

    Re Airport Express.  I use one of these to play Apple Lossless files through my hifi.  The stereo connector on the Express is capable of both analogue and digital output. To use the analogue output - which is the same from standard stereo equipment like CD Tape players, and iPhone headphone connector, use the standard plug with the appropriate connectors for your amplifier. To use the digital output, you will need to use a toslink cable - AND your amplifier will need to have a digital in port. The toslink will need to have a connector that fits inside the connector on the Express ( it is a bit longer than the usual stereo / headphone jack and allows the laser light inside the Express to shine down the cable to the amp - which may have a slightly different connector and require an attachment to the end of the tosling cable. If your amp does not have a digital connector - my does not - then you could purchase a stand alone DAC that takes the laser light and converts it to analogue output.  These can vary in price substantially but MAY givea  better sound - depending on the quality of the DAC and the quality of the amp. The Express has a built in DAC that is used if you use the standard stereo cable, and by-passed if you use the toslink cable.
    Quality
    The difference in quality will depend on the type of files you are using, your amp and your speakers.
    MP3 files may not sound any different, but Apple Lossless or FLAC files which are much higher quality MAY - or MAY NOT - sound better using toslink cable and the DAC compared to using the analogue output and standard stereo cable from the Express.
    Personally, I use Apple Lossless files from iTunes and the analogue output from the Express into Rega Amp and Royd Speakers and I'm very pleased with the sound.  I have considered using an stand alone DAC but feel the extra expense is not worth it in my case. You could start with the same setup and see how it sounds to you. The quality is difinitely very good and you can add the toslink cable and DAC later. The latest Airport Express may contain an even better DAC than earlier versions so may sound even better.
    If you have an iPhone, you can use Apples Remote app to control iTunes on your Mac, to choose music,change track, change volume etc. This all works over the wifi network. You can also stream music directly from your iPhone - or your friend's iPhone - to the Express over the wifi network.
    I have my MacBook Pro in my office space, 15 metres away in the next room, my Express and stereo in the living room and my iPhone in my hand on the couch and I'm delighted with the flexibility and the sound.
    I have no experience with bluetooth for sound.

  • IPhone can't connect to internet on my home WiFi, works everywhere else

    For a while I would get the "unable to join network" error, but renewing the lease or resetting the router would usually fix it. Now I can sign onto the WiFi, but I get page load errors and timing out on everything until I turn WiFi off on the phone. I have tried resetting network settings, manually inputing my phones Mac address into the router, changing the security mode on the router, resetting the WiFi settings on the router, still, no internet for iPhone.
    Other Android phones, an iPad, Apple TV, Laptops and Desktops have all been able to access the internet through WiFi as well. My iPhone has no trouble using the internet on other WiFi networks. Have I somehow black listed myself in my router settings? Or have I somehow blocked the internet in the phone settings for just this network?

    I looked into that and couldnt' figure out how. I've just now completely disabled "managed devices" and "managed services" under parental controls and that seems to have made it work. My room mate was having trouble with his laptop as well. I'm the only person who ever logged into the router's admin panel and I never added any devices to any parental control that I know of. I just looked at the log and noticed it had some blocked packets, the IP matched the one assigned to my phone, so somehow I got parental blocked :-/

  • Can I connect an ipad to a different computer than my iTunes library

    I have a quick question.
      I have an ipad that I purchased and used for a while in my home.  I synced it with my library on my computer. 
    My sister was looking to buy one for her son who has austium.  I gave her mine and left it synced to my library because of my kids I had alot of Apps that would be useful for her.
      She wants to transfer some photos to the ipad for her son to use in certine apps but does not want to have to email them all to the device just to get them on the device.
    So my question is can she connect the iPad to her home Computer and transfer the photos to iPad without loosing the information that is already on the iPad.  such as if she were to download iTunes onto her comp and sign in using my account info that she already has for purchasing apps.
    Reason for asking is that I live in Connecticut and she lives in Georgia, so the easy trip of handing the ipad back to me to sync doesn't work well.
    Thanks for any input you can give.
    Jeffrey
