Ideapad S10-3T WIFI 'Unable to Connect' error

I am unable to connect wirelessly. My connection has been detected, but I receive the error "Unable to Connect". Wirelessly connectivity worked previously with on this netbook. I lent this to somone during their deployment and have not been able to connect since it was returned to me. This device can connect when hardwired.
All other devices in the home can connect wirelessly.
The password has been verified as correct. The Wireless Device Setting is confirmed ON.
Security: WPA-PSK
Network Adapter - Atheros AR9285 driver is updated. Device status "This device is working properly" and is enabled.
I have read through other posts on this site and have not been able to find a solution. Any ideas? I am outside of the warranty period.
Thanks!!

Windows 7 Wifi Unable to Connect (one device)

I have 4 devices (asus laptop - personal, dell laptop - work, android phone - personal, windows 8 phone - work) that all used to connect to wifi networks without an issue. Both laptops run windows 7. I'm now in temporary housing for a few months with its
own wifi setup. I do not have control of this router. Everything but the dell laptop was able to connect to this network. However, the dell will give me the generic "unable to connect error" when I try to connect and obviously the troubleshooter
doesn't provide any more information than that. Also, my ethernet cables are packed away in storage and I really don't want to buy another one for this temporary period. I've seen a lot of similar issues posted, but none of the solutions posed have worked
for my situation yet.
So the dell has NEVER been able to connect at this location - this is not an issue where it gets booted off the network/has poor connectivity.
I've tried the following which did not work:
1) Manually entering IPv4/Gateway/DNS etc.
2) Sharing the network (protected and unprotected) from my personal laptop
3) Standard restarts, disconnect/reconnects, etc. for all devices and the router
4) Entering all the encryption types (even though I know it is WPA2-Personal, AES)
5) Yes, wifi is enabled on that computer
6) Given that this is a work device, I cannot easily uninstall/reinstall drivers due to security blahblahblah
I would appreciate any advice with this situation.
Thanks!

Hi,
First, please check the following event log log before you try any suggestions.
Microsoft-Windows-WLAN-AutoConfig
It’s under applications and services log.
Based on the current situation, you may perform the following suggestions to check the issue:
1. Update the router firmware and reset the router.
The default settings of Windows 7 should work normally with the wireless router.
2. Set up a new network with WPA2 Encryption.
3. Verify with the WLAN service is started and set to automatic, if the WLAN service is stopped, I would suggest you to start the service and put it to automatic.
4. Follow the steps to start the WLAN service and disable the IP Helper service. (Click on Start, type in services.msc. Select WLAN Autoconfig from the list, Right click properties)
5. Connect to another wireless router for a test.
In addition, Please Use Network troubleshooter event logs to solve network problems

Hope it helps.

"Unable to Connect" error continually shows up despite having reinstalled firefox and troubleshooting. How do I get firefox to work properly again? (windows 7)

I turned on my computer and before I could start firefox it said it was updating. When it said it had finished updating and there were no error messages indicating that the update had failed. When I opened firefox it pulled up the last tabs I had open before closing the program. None of the tabs functioned properly and gave me "unable to connect" errors even when I opened new tabs, no matter what the website was. Everything worked properly in internet explorer. I tried restarting my computer and firefox, troubleshooting, restoring firefox, uninstalling and then reinstalling firefox, checking my firewall and the problem persists. I've tried changing my proxy settings according the articles on the support page but nothing has worked. How should I fix this? Firefox is my favorite browser I would hate to give it up.

see: [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox|Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]
Also possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Unable to Connect error 948 via SQL

System Center 2012 DPM trying to connect to a SQL instance on a different server using Windows Authentication. Getting the unable to connect error "Unable to cnnect to xxx.domain.com (ID: 948) Verify that the DPM service is running on this computer",
I figured out that if you add the user to "sysadmin" in SQL management it works for that user. My question is, is this the best practices method of solving this problem? Will this need to be done for every windows user
that tries to access the DPM, or is there a more proper way?
Thanks

can anyone help?

WiFi - unable to connect to home network

I had a problem syncing and iTunes not recognizing my iPod touch, (and my new iPad). Did a restore on the iPod Touch and that solved the syncing problem, now I cannot connect to the WiFi in my home, (cannot connect with my new iPad either). I have a Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router Model WRT160N. I am dying to connect the new iPad and get it up and running, etc. Can anyone help me solve the "Unable to connect to (my home network's name)".

Use G band, not N. I encountered a lot of problems with my new router on wireless N. Here is a reply I wrote for the other posts about iPad connectivity problems:
I have the base iPad 16gb Wi-Fi model and it was connecting to wifi fine. A few days ago I had to get a new modem/router. I bought a netgear dual band model (G and N) and used wireless "N" on my my two MacBooks and my iPad.
Two days ago I started getting the "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." error on the iPad along with the schizophrenic signal strength bars going from three, to one, to two, to disappearing totally, to whatever, and Safari not opening pages and sometimes crashing, and when it would connect running slower than molasses.
My laptops worked fine, seeing both G and N and working equally well regardless of which I chose.
I did all the jumping thru hoops I have read on this and various forums and that Apple suggested back in April with naming each band on the router differently but with same security settings, renewing lease on Safari, reseting iPad, resetting network settings, turning auto connect off, etc., etc., etc, none of it worked.
So I started to wonder . . . does the iPad even work with "N" . . . the Apple site says "yes", but I wondered . . . what happens if I have the iPad ignore "N" and connect only with "G".
Guess what . . . that fixed the problem.
I went into Settings > WiFi > and told it to "Forget this Network" for the "N" band and then selected the "G" band.
Problems gone.
If you're experiencing the connection problems I'd bet dollars to doughnuts you're trying to use wireless "N". Have it ignore that band and use "G".

Unable to connect error while connecting to more than one server in a cluster

          hi,
          I have a weblogic cluster of two servers. The stateless session bean is deployed
          on both these servers as well as the cluster. The weblogic used is 6.0 sp2. I'm
          using a custom router class which redirects the calls to bean's business methods
          in a round-robin fashion to all the servers in the cluster.
          When both the servers (say s1 and s2) are up and running a request comes from
          a servlet deployed on admin server, the request is first sent to s1 which is fulfilled
          but in the same servlet a second call is made to the bean which the custom router
          class directs to s2, but here the exception comes as, unable to connect to JVM
          of the remote server s2.
          Now if I shutdown s1 and retry then, the request is nicely routed to s2 and fulfilled.
          And if s1 is up again and request is sent to it, this time it gives same error
          for the s1.
          So on the whole the admin is able to talk only to one of the servers. why is this
          happening ?
          Here all the three servers s1, s2 and admin server are on different physical machines.
          any pointers ?
          regards,
          Nikhil.

I am getting an unable to connect error messagen when I start the browser. The setting is set to "no proxy" and my internet connection is working fine. What can I do to fix this?

I opened up my firefox browser yesterday and it crashed. Since then I get an error message that says "unable to connect" every time I try to load the browser. The setting is set to "no proxy" So it should be connecting. My internet explorer browser is working fine. So I know it is not my internet connection. What can I do to make the firefox browser work again?

Hi,
Maybe the radio connection on the other end is not working. Hope this helps.

Ipod Touch 3G, Although connected to wifi, unable to connect to internet

Basically the problem is that my Ipod Touch 3G is unable to connect to the internet, even though I am connected to the Wifi network. Are there any suggestions? I have read through the Apple Troubleshooting (tried resetting, setting static IP, etc.)
Thanks

I'm having the exact same problem with my 3GS running iOS4, however my iPd Touch can connect to the internet fine. I can connect to the wi-fi, but connecting to webpages and browsing or checking hotmail etc, no such luck. I have also setup a static ip address and also authourised the MAC address of the device on the BTHomeHub router.

IPad mini doesn't detect wifi/unable to connect

Hello,
I've had my iPad mini since March 2014. It's been working perfectly until last Friday, when it suddenly stopped connecting to my home wifi network. Upon closer inspection, I found that the iPad doesn't even detect the home network anymore. I tried all the solutions listed on here: resetting network settings, rebooting, resetting all settings - except a total restore.
At times it started detecting the network but then when I try to connect it says "unable to connect". I tried making a hotspot out of my iPhone 3G and connecting to it with my iPad - also the same thing, unable to connect. I couldn't try any other networks yet.
What should I do next? Could this be a hardware issue? PS: I've never dropped or damaged the iPad in any way, and it was just lying on the day when wifi stopped working.
Thank you.

Hello karinakremlin,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
You can use this article to troubleshoot your Wi-Fi connection issues. You have said you have tried many of these steps already, but I would recommend following this article in case there is something you missed.

Ipad not connecting to wifi, "unable to connect"

So i have done everything from turning off and on, network reset, and reseting the entire ipad to factory settings. Nothing has helped. The wierd thing is once I got a airport express, my ipad would only connect to that and nothing else. Or it connects in the apple store or at my school where this is a big network. My wifi recognizes other networks but won't connect to them. This is extremely frustrating because when I want to connect at friends places it doesn't connect, it immediately says "unable to connect", we tried reseting the router, we even tried playing with the frequencies on the router, I've also tried at other places and its the same problem. I've never had a problem with apple products until now. Someone please help me because I don't what else to do. By the way this is a Ipad 3 and I have the latest software update as well.

I have the same issues!! Please apple get this fix soon! It's starting to get really frustrating

Wifi "unable to connect", but only sometimes

ok so since i have had my iphone replaced (3g with 3.0), my wifi will connect randomly at home, and when it disconnects, (like putting it into sleep mode), i will go to wifi settings and try to connect to my home connection, but am only given the message "unable to connect to linksys". this is very odd because my iphone will connect by itself to my wifi connection without problems, only, i have no idea when this will happen. it randomly connects to wifi by itself.

Yes, this is widely reported 'feature' of 3.0. There are many current threads that may or may not help you (probably not.) Hopefully spotty WiFi will be fixed in the next firmware version.

Wifi unable to connect when tv streams media

We just got a new Sony TV tonight that has a non wifi, LAN connection, and the Netflix application on it. As soon as I logged into Netflix on the TV, my iPad is unable to connect to wifi. I've tried disconnecting, reconnecting, renewing, and restarting router. The minute that I turned off the TV, I'm able to connect just fine again. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers,
Brian

if the tv suck up all the bandwidth for the netflix connection it would mean no more internet for other devices
