I cannot connect to wifi on my S5 anywhere I go.

I cannot connect to wifi on my S5 anywhere I go. I thought Verizon had one of the best networks? I just got my S5 in August and I NEVER had any problem with my iphone. I am regretting getting this phone. I thought I should be able to be on Verizon's network, but I can never connect when I'm at work, and when I get home, I have to go in and manually connect to my home network, instead of it just connecting automatically. I really, really, hate this phone and regret getting it. Cutomer service was not helpful, and I tried taking out the battery and sim card to no avail. What am I missing?

Not having those problems at all with my phone and it automatically connects at home to wifi and no problems when I am away. Wifi is not Verizons network so your post is confusing. Can you not connect to 4G through Verizon either? Have you gone into a Verizon store to have them look at it and see if maybe the phone is defective? Mary

My new IPad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of the reception. In the same location, my PC and my smart phone get a full bar connection without any issues. How can I do to fix the issues (can I switch to IPad 2)?

My new Ipad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of reception. In the same location, my Windows 7 PC and Andorid Smart phone can connect to the same WIFI without any issues. How can I fix it? Without WIFI, the WIFI only IPAD is nearly useless. If it cannot be fixed, can I get a replacement for IPad 2?

Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. If defective, you'll get a replacement.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

MY iphone 4s cannot connect to wifi after updating to ios 8.1.1

after updating to ios 8.1.1, my iphone 4s cannot connect to wifi at all.
at first, connection will show up, but when i tried to connect, i will see the wifi logo but after 15 or 30 seconds, connection will be lost again.
i will try again, but this time, my phone will hang, i need to restart but then, wifi will not work at all.
it will show that its searching for network but its not. then it will hang again,
after this, give up already.
my phone is working perfectly fine until updating my ios to 8.1.1.
the problem is i cannot upgrade again as i cannot connect to wifi.

I have an HP Photosmart 7510 & cannot connect by WiFi, I have tried the support fix with no success.

Hi
I have an HP Photosmart 7510 & cannot connect by WiFi, I have tried the support fix with no success.
I have tried the suggested from below;
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02817031&cc=uk&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=507...
I have not tried to assign the static IP address suggested in step 6 on the web link above, I am not that technical & do not fully understand how to perform this task & am surprised HP expect retail client to follow this, if is a bit technical I think you must agree.
Anyway, the WiFi or Wireless blue led is blinking.
If I try to discover my wireless network, it is not displaye like it used , nor are my neighbors, my mobile Samsung Galaxy S displays my network and my neighbors when the phone in placed by my 7510.
When I try to enter the SSID & key, my 7510 times out without connecting to my router.
My pc is connected directly to my router (Buffalo) and I use a Fujitsu Desktop running Win 7 32bit.
By the way, I have done a "Factory reset" to my 7510 & this did not help at all.
Can anyone help?
Is my 7510 faulty?
Thanks in advance.

I saw your post and forwarded it to the right people for their review. You should hear back from someone shortly via private message on this Forum.

Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access.

Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access. It will connect if I connect to my iPhone hot spot via wifi. Any ideas?

If you follow this video you'll see how to delete your WiFi AP from the OS, this will allow you to select it again which I feel will correct your problem.

HT4972 I cannot connect to wifi since upgrading to ios 5.1

Since upgrading to iOS 5.1.1 I cannot connect to wifi. I damaged my last phone so Apple replaced it with my current phone but since I've had it it won't connect. The 'choose a Network' message just has a whirly circle like it trying to connect. I've tried resetting my phone and resetting my router but it doesn't work. Can anyone help? I'm now getting a message saying I need to back up to iCloud but I can't do this without connecting to wifi.

Thanks but this has not helped. I've booked an appointment at the Apple store on Snday. Helpfully they will be able to fix it without charging me alive only had this phone since May this year.

T430 cannot connect to WiFi unless battery is removed then re-installed

Been having trouble with a co-worker's t430. It cannot connect to WiFi unless the battery is removed and then re-inserted. Once connected WiFi is strong and reliable. This seems to have started a few weeks ago without any notice. I'm thinking a power setting? I have also tried replacing the battery and same problem. Both batteries hold strong charges and are in "good" condition. Any suggestions?
Solved!

Some things to try first:
1. 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.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. 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
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Macbook suddenly cannot connect to WiFi

Hi guys,
All of a sudden, overnight, my Macbook Pro cannot connect to our home wifi network. I have tried every trick in the book, rebooting, changing "locations," changing the password of the router, moving around the priority of the difference connections, but whatever I do I get the same error message when I try logging in:connection timed out.
Until now it has functioned perfectly since we moved in here a month ago, and I have no explanation for what happened. At one point it looked like the problem was related to the ip-address as it could connect to the wifi but not get an ip-address, but now I cannot even replicate that!
Another issue I am considering is whether it could be disturbance from another wifi network (there is like 15 of them active in our building) Could that explain it?
Thanks!

try removing the security from your router, and connecting to the unsecured network.
If that fails, try to connect to another location, and see if you can connect to someone elses network.
Next connect the computer directly to the modem and see if that works.

I cannot connect to wifi on my S5 anywhere I go.
