IPad lost home hub wireless connection

Our iPad has stopped connecting wirelessly to our Home Hub 3 whereas it worked perfectly before and an iPhone still connects OK. We've tried the Helpdesk advice of isolating BTWiFi and BTWiFi-with-FON by using "Forget This Network" but it still brings up the message "Unable to join the network BTHub3" etc.  Any ideas?
Solved!

Carry out a factory reset of the Homehub by pressing a pin into the red recess on the hub for about 20secs. When connecting the iPad use the PASSKEY found on the homehub or the pull out card that came with the hub. Do not use your email password or any other passsword.

  • BT Home hub not connected message

    We use my wife's XP sp3 laptop wirelessly at home, but when we use it away from home on a 'paid for' wireless providers network (as no BTFon is avaliable at that location), we occasionally get the BT Home hub not connected message come up in an IE page. How can it be turned off, there is no solution in BT FAQs?

    Just for good measure, I would install another web browser while you still have internet access. Then if you have the same problem, try the other web browser and see if that works.
    I noticed that you said it says that the Hub is switched off. This is the message that appears when there is no internet connection at all.
    Maybe the WiFi had dropped and there was no signal for a small period of time, then when it went to go to the 'page cannot be displayed' screen it redirected you to the 'hub is switched off' message because it had been cached previously.

  • How do I keep my Ipad from dropping its wireless connection?

    How do I keep my Ipad from dropping its wireless connection?
    Most of the time, my iPad does not maintain a connection to the interenet via my wifi router. My PC laptop has continuous connection, so I know it is not the internet connection.
    Is there a way to trouble shoot this? Can I purchase a dedicated IP Address for my Ipad? This is beyond aggrevating since internet activity is the main reason I purchased the pad.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    I would suggest that you give Apple Tech Support a call and go over your settings under WI-FI and General Settings as well as your router settings etc.. There are all sorts of things I could tell you to try but this forum is not the best place to go over all the numerous settings that could be the issue. Just call them and they will walk you through the proper trouble shooting steps.

  • Ipad with Home Hub 2

    Yesterday I had what I thought were broadband problems. Working with the BT man from India we proved that my router ( a Billion ) was at fault resulting in me changing my Billion Router for a BT Home Hub 2, which was still in its box, never having been used since the day it arrived a long while ago.
    Broadband is now back in service - can't get the Ipad to connect, any suggestions please - Geoff

    Go to Solution.

    I assume that the Ipad connected ok to your old router?
    To forget network go into settings >WiFi>Homehub2xx> click on blue arrow>Forget Network.
    Try switching off Ipad after forgetting network then back on and try reconnecting.
    Do you have a laptop or other wireless device that you can try and connect to the Homehub to ensure that it is working OK.
    If that still does not work you may need to change the security type on the Homehub. It will be on WPA and WPA2 This has been known to cause connection problems with the Ipad for some reason changing it to WEP can help. See this link how to change it.

  • BT Home Hub - Wireless Problems

    I have been having a problem with some but not all wireless connections on my home hub. Normal browsing, email with iPads , iPhones and laptop etc are fine. However I have 2 printers that I connect using wi-fi and an apple time capsule and the sky box seem to be loosing wireless connections about once every day, the only remedy is to shut down the home hub and reboot, then all is fine for a day or so. I have had the home hub for over 6 months and this has only just started happening in the past few weeks,
    Hope someone can help.

    you can try downloading inssider3 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.

  • TP-Link TL-WA901 & Home Hub 5 connectivity problem

    I've just installed a Home Hub 5. Devices connected via Ethernet & Wifi work fine.  My Vista PC connected via a TP-Link switch & a TP-Link TL-WA901ND Wireless Access Point can't web browse successfully.  Firefox says "The page isn't redirecting properly", IE says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" - for every site I try.  I can ping my BT hub OK, I can see the PC from the hub & a directly-connected Windows 7 PC, & I can ping external websites.  Any ideas?  I've tried changing all sorts of settings without any luck, Googled, etc, & nothing I've tried has sorted it.  The same PC & browsers work if connected via Ethernet.
    Btw, the connection setup is like this as I've had equipment damaged 3 times from lightning surges via my phone line.  The PC connected directly is only temporary until I've resolved the problem.

  • Home Hub Ethernet Connections

    Have had the BT home hub 1 for years with 3 PCs connected via Ethernet & USB connections (wireless is useless as house is 170 yrs old with 15 inch thick walls that have defeated all wireless attempts). Now that I have vision there are not enough connections. An alternate provider is offering a similar speed unlimited service with a 4 Ethernet port hub and although it is far cheaper I've always had reasonable service from BT and don't really want to change (Mug?). Is there any way that a further connection can be made from the current hub or does this spell the end to an account I've had for many years?

    Have tried the ethernet thru the mains and it is too slow!   I have Cat6 ethernet from all four ports on the BT Hub Mk2 and each one terminates at NetGear Gigaswitches providing 4 further ethernet ports on each.  Yes that is 16 ports! They are all in use and I find that shifting large Jpegs and large video files around are no problem.  As well as the PC's, Printers, NAS drives etc., there is the BT Vision (Freeview), Humax PVR (Freesat), Blu-ray and Freesat TV to contend with.  NetGear Gigaswitches (GS605) are very cheap from Amazon at the moment and do not require any setup whatsoever....  having struggled to get Ethernet over the mains and wireless thru floor and walls, I know which 100% dependable route I prefer

  • Multicast - Home Hub Wireless?

    Is it possible to enable the home hub to send multicast signals over its wireless network?
    My hub was installed upstairs and my YouView box is downstairs, so a cable is out of the question. I have my YouView box connected to the wireless network through a wireless adapter that supports multicast I just didn't realise that the homehub did not! (I did think at the time of ordering that it was odd they didn't reccomend a wireless adapter but they didn't advice agaisnt it either!)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you mean replacing the single cable (or short cables and powerline adapters) connection between the HomeHub and the BTTV box with a wireless bridge then you wouldn't need to support more than two multicast streams at any time.
    The BTTV box can only tune into a maximum of two streams at the same time (watch/record or record/record). The BT local multicast system is only providing to your house the one or two streams that you are currently tuned into. That is why it only needs a minimum spec of around 15Mbps (to cater for two simultaneous HD channels), and yet can in theory offer the viewer a choice from several hundred channels. The customer having Infinity guarantees this minimum spec is met.
    Back to the question of whether you can use a wireless connection between the HomeHub and BTTV box? The HomeHub won't send the multicast output over it's in-built wireless as far as I know, so I think you would need to use wireless dongles at both ends that mimic a hard-wired ethernet connection. I see no reason why this wouldn't work in theory as long as the signal was stable and fast enough. It would need to avoid interference from the normal wireless signal from the HomeHub if that wasn't turned off.

  • Home Hub Wireless Problems

    Hi,
    I am on BT infinity and have Home Hub 3 (I think) with software version running is 4.7.5.1.83.8.94.1.11 (Type A).
    Normally I get very good wireless connection / speed, however there seems to issue with the automatic (smart wireless). It seems to switch to channel 6 then after sometime links drops and I get very slow or no Internet connection. When the link drops I get message on the laptop that there is limited wireless connectivity.
    I have to log in to Hub with Ethernet cable to change to different channel manually. I have no issue finding the good working channel manually, but hub keep switching back to automatic (smart wireless) and prefers channel 6, which after some time start to play up.
    Does anyone have any suggestion / solution to this annoying issue.
    Thank You

    The answer is to select a channel manually, and disable smart wireless, as it gives people a lot of problems.

  • Home Hub 3 - Connection dropping from N to G?

    Hello all; I hope someone can help me with this!
    I have recently installed the new Home Hub 3 (replacing a Home hub 1).  I have it connected by wifi to a Mac which has a built-in 802.11 connection.  The reason I changed to Home Hub 3 is that next month I am getting a digital box for the TV which works best using a 802.11 N connection speed.
    Normally, the connection is by 802.11 N (I can see this on the Mac SysInfo), and I get a solid 5 bar connection.  However, sometimes this drops to 1 or 2 bars, and the wifi speed drops from N to G.  When this happens, I cannot change it back to a N speed without rebooting.  
    Does anyone know what might be causing this?  It seems to be random.  The computer is not moving, and is only about 12 feet from the Home Hub with clear air in between.  Is it likely to be the Home Hub which is causing the change, or the Mac?  Is there anyway to "lock" the Homehub to only broadcast on N?
    Thanks for any answers.

    the only problem changing the BT Home hub 3 wireless channel manually it stops the new software from finding the best channel one of the features of the new hub. they advise this in the product page details (section taken shown below).What i found was to experiment hub positions my example i have 3 story house so i placed the hub on the second floor away from fridge /microwave/ wireless phone etc on the 1st floor.  the wireless computers are on floor 2 & 3, it improved reception by 50%. the computer down on floor 1 is connected by ethernet.
    Change wireless channel
    Your Hub is always monitoring the wireless channel it’s using and if it detects too much 
    interference it will automatically change to another channel. If you want to manually 
    change to a channel of your choice, follow the steps below, but this will stop the 
    automatic channel selection feature. 
    1 Access Hub Manager by typing bthomehub.home into your web browser. 
    2 Click Settings.
    3 If asked, enter your Hub Admin password. You’ll find this on the bottom of your Hub.
    4 In the Basic Settings menu, click Change the wireless channel to avoid interference.
    5 Click the Refresh button.
    6 Wait a minute for your device to pick up the new channel.

  • BT Home Hub Manage Connections and Bandwidth.

    Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to manage connections inside BT Home Hub. I am the owner of the hub and can log in to the advanced settings, I see I can turn the wireless off, is there a way to turn the wireless off for specific devices, but keep my laptop wireless on.
    What about turning the internet off for specific wired devices, but keeping my computer on.
    Third and final question, is there a way I can manage bandwidth useage?
    So I can say to these devices, use 10% of bandwidth, and allow the rest to go to my computer.
    Thanks, any information would be very helpful.

    The simple answer to both your questions one and three is not with the HomeHub - and you might have difficulty finding a router designed for home use that will do both.
    You should be able to restrict access to the internet on a machine by machine basis using the parental controls.

  • Home Hub wireless problem

    I have a problem with my bt home hub v2, the wireless connection does not give out a dhcp address. I have recently moved across from virgin where I had no problems with the wireless so I know my pc is ok.
    Has anyone had this and knows of a way to resolve it?
    I have defaulted the HH a couple of times and tried changing wireless channels but all to no avail. 

    was just trying to think of anything, my xbox and pc were on fixed ips so had to change them with new kit since different ip range.
    the new router seems to operate alot better than my belkin, UPnP for example worked when i used it on software where as belkin it didnt.

  • Infinty 2 & Home Hub 5 Connection Issue

    Hi,
    This afternoon our HH 5 lost wifi connection. My wife rang BT and a line/speed test was attempted, but wouldn't work.
    After 50 minutes of attempting tests, a new Home Hub was ordered.
    The lights on the hub go from orange to blue alternating with a orange steady broadband band light. Even when the light remains blue there is no internet connection.
    I have carried out a reset, turned it off etc, all the usual stuff.but nothing. I have a fault reference but not sure if anything is being investigated. We rely on this connection for working, so this is very annoying. Currently connected to my mobile.

    Hi,
    The Hub has made no difference. We had a major fault in our local area. Since the connection has been repaired my speed has been very very poor.
    Prior to the fault i was getting 40-50Mb normally. I am now getting 9Mb if I'm lucky, it fluctuates between 2-9Mb. When I am paying for the fastest service available this is pretty poor. My mobile signal is running at a download speed of 20Mb!
    We have an engineer coming out on Monday, hopefully he will be able to help. The help desk have been little or no help at all. Firstly sending out a new router, when I had already told them that others in the area where experiencing issues, and they couldn't even carry out a line test. Then when I contacted then ref the slow speed, they asked if I had plugged my router in to the wall socket.....!
    Wait and see what happens.

  • Samsung Galaxy Mini Home Hub 2 Connection Problem

    My Galaxy Mini is connected to my home hub but I cannot access the internet.

    Hmm, my lad also has the same phone with no issues connecting to my HH2 or HH3
    (my hubs however are not set how they come delivered)
    When it's connected to the hub, with the phone switched on, remove the battery, then re-insert and power up and then allow the phone to re-establish the connection.
    (some phones can and do fail to 'talk' to your mobile operators servers, thus creating issues like this. rebooting should start the handshake process again)
    Does it now connect?
    Failing that you could adjust the hub's settings to something like this:
    Change the hubs SSID (BTHomehub2-****) to something simple like hub2
    Initially leave the wireless interface type at b/g/n (works for me) or just b/g
    Try a different wireless channel - though the other devices would also be flaky
    Try using just WPA2 (mines set to this) or just WPA
    You could try changing the wireless key from it's default - though all other devices would then need to be reconnected.
    Have you checked to see if it's up to date using Samsung Kies?
    Hopefully any of the contributions above will cure it, if not I'm sure the guys on these forums will assist you further.

  • Newbee Needs Help. BT Home Hub Wireless connectio...

    Dear Forum,
    As a newbee I thought I would ask the masses. I have a black home hub 2. It is hard wired to a number of PC's in the house, plus it also provides a wireless connection reliably most of the time. Occationally, every day/other day it refuses to provide a reliable IP address. My wireless is set as follows:-
    Channel 11, WEP, 64 Bit.
    Current firmware
    Version 8.1.H.J (Type A)
    Last updated
    08/12/09
    I can attach fine normally, but then it fails to connect (on a know working machine) after a reboot. I get the error "Limited or no Connection". This occurs with Pc's running VISTA, and Macs?
    The only resolution I have found is to RESET the hub. Then all devices attach fine. If I disable wireless on my portable and re-enable it, it also fails. Once in a failed state its only resolution is to RESET.
    Can advice?
    Many thanks
    Mike

    you might want to change the wireless settings of the hub to 802.11 b/g to see if this makes a difference, also can try change the wireless channel as well to see if that makes a difference
