IPad 2 connects via iphone hotspot, but not router

I have a iPad 2 that refuses to see or connect to my "G" wi-fi network. Both my iphones and iPad mini connect to the same wi-fi network without any issues. But, the iPad 2 will connect to to my iPhone 5 via AT&T personal hotspot (wi-fi... is this really wi-fi?) and my mac via Bluetooth. I have reset the ipad 2 to factory settings, reset network settings and nothing is working to connect to a standard wi-fi network. Does this sound like the wi-fi antenna is not working?

Hello Jeffrey Pimental,
If you are not seeing your WiFi network from your iPad 2 in order to join, you may want to try the additional steps outlined in the following article:
iOS: Connecting to Wi-Fi - Apple Support
You may also want to double-check that the router is set up as outlined in this article:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support
Sincerely,

  • IPad 2 connects to personal hotspot but not wifi

    I dropped my ipad2, but all seems to be working fine except for my wifi. What doesn't seem to make sense is that my wifi will see and connect to my iphone 5S personal hotspot but doesn't see my wifi router.  It is also picking up other wifi signals from my smart tv. If there is a wifi hardware issue, shouldn't that impact the ability to connect to hotspot?

    Hello Bella9678
    Start with going into Settings > General > Reset and Reset Network Settings, then try to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Check out the article below for more troubleshooting options to get your Wi-Fi working again.

  • Can access site via phone hotspot but not via jetpack

    Trying to access magentocommerce.com - can access the site when using laptop connected to phone mobile hotspot.  However, when I try to access the site with the laptop connected via the jetpack, the site won't load.
    Been trying to get this resolved through Verizon Wireless support since June18th (now on 4th ticket).  The only difference I can see via tracert is 3 lines:
    JetPack
    Phone
      0.xe-3-1-4.XT1.DCA5.ALTER.NET [152.63.4.106]
    0.xe-3-1-2.XT2.DCA5.ALTER.NET [152.63.4.118]
    0.so-6-0-0.XL3.IAD8.ALTER.NET [152.63.36.25]
    0.so-6-0-2.XL4.IAD8.ALTER.NET [152.63.0.130]
    GigabitEthernet6-0-0.GW8.IAD8.ALTER.NET [152.63.33.13]
    GigabitEthernet7-0-0.GW8.IAD8.ALTER.NET [152.63.33.17]
    These are hops 9, 10, 11 of 16.
    Anyone else having similar access issues?

    Sadly, the 4620L has a long history of blocking specific websites that neither VZW nor Novatel have been able to resolve.  It is tied to the interaction of the 4620L and the VZW network.  If it were a VZW network problem then no devices would be able to access that site.
    See the following thread for a history on this subject:
    https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/775990
    At the moment your current possible solutions are as follows:
    1. Disable IPv6 on your 4620L (Some users reported success with this technique)
    2. Use a VPN from a VPN server and network that can access the site
    3. Purchase/Upgrade to a different Jetpack Model
    4. Switch providers
    DNS has nothing to do with this problem, switching them wont help.  The traffic to certain sites is simply not allowed through the 4620L to any connected devices.  No firmware fixes have been released to my knowledge that address or resolve this problem.  You can try your luck and reflash with the latest if you are out of date, but I wouldn't expect any miracles.

  • IPAD WILL CONNECT TO OPEN NETWORK BUT NOT HOME NETWORKS

    My ipad 2 has stopped connecting to my home network  ( Plusnet ) will also not connect to Virgin or Sky home networks but will connect to Asda Walmart
    open network. I have tried reset network,forget network, airplane mode on and off and reset device but nothing seems to work. I have version 8.1.2  and the model number is MC706B/A and would be grateful for any advice.

    When you keyed in your password for your router when you were prompted to enter a password on iPad, what did you enter?  If your router is recognized on your computer as say, Harry's Internet, that's not the password iPad is seeking.  What iPad is looking for is the encryption key from your router.  And that encryption key is often a 13 digit code comprised of numbers and letters. 

  • Wireless connects via MAC address, but not with essid.

    I have an eee 901 using the zeneee901 kernel. I got wireless to work out of the box to an extent. This will probably be easier to exlain just posting the commands.
    ifconfig ra0 up
    iwlist ra0 scan
    iwconfig ra0 essid *essid here*
    dhcpcd ra0
    TIMEOUT GOES HERE
    iwconfig ra0 ap MACADDRESS
    dhcpcd ra0
    Connected!
    This wouldn't be so bad except I can'tuse Wicd. This was happening way before I installed Wicd btw.
    What's the deal?

    R00KIE wrote:The way you do it I don't know, but in wicd you can select an option to associate by essid instead of mac address and it works fine for me.
    Someone else might be able to answer your question. Maybe you can consider using another network connection manager, would makes things easier. Although knowing why it doesn't work is also good
    That's good, but I can't find that option. Where is it?

  • Connect iPad2 to iPhone 4s via Personal Hotspot but internet on iPad2 does not work.

    Hi,
    I have some problem...It just does not work today. Before I could use internet on my iPad2 after connecting via Personal Hotspot to my iPhone4s.
    Please help or give any advise..
    Thanks..

    But did they have access to my phone during the time I was in the cinema and during which time someone's "Personal hotspot" appeared on my phone under "Settings"?
    And how did my "Cellular (Mobile) Network settings" were just gone after that episode, so that I had to go to my providers website to look for them and enter them again?

  • IPad mini won't connect to wifi, but does connect to iPhone hotspot.

    I have a 1st gen iPad mini. It suddenly didn't connect to any of my known networks (House, work, parents). It does see the wifi signal but does not connect. I did a reset to all network settings, and it only connects to my iPhone hotspot but when I try to put the password for all the other wifi networks it gives me a message that the password is incorrect, which I'm sure is not right because I tried it on the other devices. I made a full restore to factory settings so it's runing iOS 8.1, it is like new, but still the same problem.

    Hi Maybe it's a hardware problem or a modem problem. I think you need to take to Apple Store they may exchange but you will have to pay part of the cost if over 1 year old. Cheers Brian

    make sure it's not being connected to by any of the other two
    one can only connect 1 device at the time and just by waking up sometimes a headset connects to a device
    automaticly
    then forget the bluetooth device in OS X and put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode and connect with it once again with the mac

    i purchased 2 books for my iPad and they downloaded successfully.  They show up in iTunes when my iPad is connected to my Mac but do not show up on the Mac.  Is this a synch issue?  When I click the Synch box I am warned that downloads on my iPad will be erased.  Is that true?  My ultimate goad is to be able to read the books on my iPhone as well.  Thanks.

    You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)

  • IPhone 6 Plus connects to Airport Extreme but not the internet

    Light on my Airport Extreme is green and the Airport Utility on the iPhone 6 Plus shows that it's connected to the Airport, but not the internet.  What the strange this is, I am still getting email and message notifications but just can't view them.
    However the internet connection on both my iPad Air and Macbook Pro are working perfectly fine, and they are both connected to the same Airport Extreme. 
    The firmware on Airport is updated, I have tried to reset network settings and restarting the iPhone with no luck.  Any suggestions on what to do?

    Give me a screenshot of the working network IP setup on the MBP.
    It should look like this. I need to see the IP address and you can also copy and paste for me the dns address.
    The same thing from the iphone IP address and DNS will then help me figure out what is wrong.
    If they both have an IP like 10.0.1.xx then the DNS or gateway (what apple calls router) has setup wrongly .. try setting manually with the same values exactly as the MBP.
    If however the IP is something public like 200.100.2.100 and the other ipad is similar the Airport is setup wrongly in bridge and you have exhausted the available IP addresses so redo the setup of the Extreme so it is in router mode.

  • I can not get the iPad to connect to the internet thru the router it shows the modum but will not connect

    I can not get the iPad to connect to the internet thru the router it shows the modum but will not connect it keeps saying choose a netwokand the IP Address it automaticaly puts in is wrong?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    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.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

    Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance

    First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac.  Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up.  Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread.  It should work after performing those steps.  Good luck!
