IPad can't recognize wifi networks

Recently purchased an iPad 2. On 3 occasions it has been able to see my home network, has connected and worked fine for a few minutes, then disconnects and can't see the network. All gaming devices, multimedia devices and android devices in my home have no problem seeing at least 14 available networks in the surrounding neighborhood. The iPad has seen only mine, which I have had to manually enter...it has seen no other available networks.
I registered an Apple ID, Bluetooth works, have not yet connected to Verizon.
how do I get this iPad to recognize available networks and stay connected once it has recognized the network?

I realise that you've stated all your other devices are working ok, but have you tried rebooting your router to rule this out as an issue? I had a similar issue with my Netgear router in that my iPad would lose connection to it, yet my Xbox 360 would still be connected, but rebooting the router did the trick.
If you have tried this and still aren't having any luck try an iPad reset. With the iPad powered on hold down the Sleep/Wake & Home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then try reconnecting again.
Regards,
Steve

Just got new ipad2 and can't connect to internet...recognizes wifi network but won't connect

just got a new ipad2...recognizes wifi network at home, but can't connect to internet...help???

I just had a similar problem. Both the ipad 1 and ipad 2 in my household quit connecting to the network even though it seemed to recognize it. if you think it is recognizing your network, just not connecting, check to see if bluetooth is turned on. i had to turn bluetooth off and then manually enter the DNS number.
My solution also came after I re-started my network and reset all the settings on the ipad2. The DNS number then showed along with IP submet Mask and router. I used that dns number to enter into ipad1 after turning bluetooth off on it.
Totally unscientific fix that may have been more coincidental than correct but you might try it. BTW--no idea how bluetooth even got turned on to begin with.

HT2693 My iPhone & iPad can't recognize my airprint compatible printer. My printer: Samsung SCX-3405 HW. Any one help me??

My printer is Samsung SCX-3405 HW that is airprint compatible.
But my iPhone & iPad can not recognize it.!
Help me please. What's wrong?!
Thank you

I've just installed this printer and enabled - everything is working on airprint with my iPad2, iPad Air, Macbook and Mac Mini.
The trick was to connect to the printer's wireless network directly (the direct connect box must be clicked when you're setting up with a USB connection) first. The next time I tried to find the airprint printer, it was there.
There is a password associated to the printer's direct connect network as well (setup utility gives you this). I'm guessing that once it's in the keychain for the device, it can find it and connect to it.
Anyway - this should solve the mystery. It's all installed and working. I didn't have to do a firmware upgrade (not available except as a windows.exe file), but I did install the latest driver off of the support community. I couldn't get the scanner to work until the driver was up to date.
I'm running OSX 10.9, printer is Samsung SCX-3405FW, iPad software is latest on both iPads.

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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Can't setup wifi network

Hi Apple
I have had major probs setting up my AirPort Extreme Base Station 802.11n (AEBSn) in the past, in the end i hired a home pc guy who also couldnt figure out AEBSn software but somehow managed to setup everything through windows control panel. Since then the product has been working fine... Until now. I've replaced my old laptop with a new PC and my Wifi network has dissapeared. The AEBSn still has a solid green indicator light, home network is functioning fine.
I have and upstream gateway adsl2 modem plugged into the wall, running to my AEBSn (which i beleive is setup as a bridge with a static IP) which splits the internet to my PC, NAS, HTPC. All cables are cat6 and all access points are recieving a connection. Its just the wifi that isn't broadcasting.
The setup manual doesnt say much, the apple aiport software ultilty recognizes the AEBSn as a 5th gen 802.11n. It assigns a name, airport ID and IP address. Current version 7.5.2. If i try to update from the main screen it gives me the 10057 error, if i try File>Configure Other it gives me the -6753 error.
I have read this discussion
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3289924?start=0&tstart=0
and i guess ill attempt to fix the 10057 error in hopes i will then be able to setup a wifi network.
Actually if anyone can offer a workaround so i dont have to use the airport utility that would be great.
Cheers

How do i stop ipad from joining other wifi networks

Wow, my question was answered in 3 minutes. Of course it took me longer to resolve it, but your answer was clear, correct and succinct. Thanks a bunch.

IPad doesn't recognize wifi connection

I am connected to my home wifi but ipad2 says not connected to the internet. If I switch to cellular data I can connect. I tried resetting my network settings but no change.

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Satellite P100-221 - How can I access WiFi networks?

I have a P100-221.
I want to access WiFi networks.
I dont know how to do it. Which driver should I install?
Any help please?
Regards
Nevzat

Hello
If Windows recognize a WiFi network you can access and normally you will need a password. If you know this, you have access to the network.
Furthermore WLAN must be enabled with the WiFi switch on the notebook and by pressing FN+F8.
For this its not necessary to install a driver but if you need a driver you can find it on the Toshiba website.
I think you should look in the user manual. There you can a lot of informations about your notebook and informations how to access to a WiFi networks.
Sometimes its very useful the user manual.

I can't join WiFi network with passwrod less than 8 characters

I have a WiFi ONLY iPad but now I can't seem to connect with any WiFi networks which has passwords less than 8 characters...:(

the password has nothing to do with apple
you are suppose to be enter the password that was set-up for your wifi router
once you enter the correct password on your ipad to connect to wifi
it wont ask you to enter the password again

Cannot recognize wifi networks

My laptop is hardwired to a wi-fi network and works fine. However, when I take it elsewhere, it does not recognize any wireless networks - including the hard-wired one -- other devises and computers recognize it fine, so it must be the laptop. If anyone could direct me to what to do, I'd appreciate it.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

You cannot hardwire to a wifi network, only the ethernet can be hardwired. If you cannot connect to any wifi your adapter may be turned off or it's possible you don't have wifi installed. Is the wifi icon lit? switch on? press FN+F5 and see if it reports as being on.

Why my Ipad don't detect WIFI networks?

In the WIFI Settings options, I can't turn WIFI on because the option is never kept. No WIFI networks are detected. What's the problem?
Thanks for your help.

First try resetting your iPad: press and hold the Home + sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.

Can't get WiFi network printing

hey there all,
i recently swapped out my AXg base station for the new AEBSn. i have 2 H-P printers; 1 an HP Photosmart(circa late 2006) directly connected to my DP G5. the other, a PSC(circa mid 2004) was connected to my AXg. my problem is that now w/ the PSC connnected to the AEBSn USB port, it acts as though it is connecting & starting to print, but it does 1 line then quits. i've done all the things suggested in the Airport help as well as from H-P's website.
i've dl'd & reinstalled the driver, turned things off/on, unplugged/re-plugged all to no avail. so far i can get printing from 2 of my other Macs(a MacBook & a 17" iMac CD) from the PSC, but only by having the PSC printer connected via USB through a hub to the DP G5 & used as a shared printer, but neither can see/connect to the Photosmart even though it appear as option in the Print Dialog. i need to have the Photosmart as the default/shared printer on the DP G5 & the PSC as the AEBS/WiFi network printer. this is the way things were setup w/ the AXg, but if they were even reveresd, w/ the Photosmart as the WiFi network printer & the PSC as the default/shared printer on the DP G5 that would work. also, i can not get the other Macs on my network to connect to the Photosmart to print & i can't get my 17" iMac G4 to connect to either printer. i'll keep plugging away w/ trying the "Help" in the meantime as i really need to be able to print to @ least 1 printer from all the Macs. anyone w/ more thoughts or ideas than those available in Airport Help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

I am having the same problem. I have two HP photosmart printers, 7700 and 7900 series. They both worked before over the old airport extreme. Now, neither work over the new airport extreme. They act like the are starting to print and then stop. Can someone resolve this problem. They main reason I upgraded was to support multiple printers on the network. Now I don't even have one.

TS1398 iPad won't recognize wifi password after 7.0.2 update. (The password is correct, but iPad says it's incorrect) How do I fix this?

My iPad won't recognize my wifi password after 7.0.2 update. The password IS correct, but I continue to get the message that the password is incorrect. Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same problem too on my iPad 3. One thing that sometimes works is if you go to the App Store and put your password in there after a few tries it may work.
