Ipad2 can't find home wireless network

Hi there.
I'm getting reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally frustrated. My ipad2 had no problem finding my home network when I first bought it but I've recently had a problem with my talktalk phone line (it was down over the weekend) and now my ipad can't find my network! My desktop pc is connected and I can connect to the internet no problem. I'm using a Huawei Echolife HG520b wireless router. Even after following talktalk's instructions on-line I've not been able to find my user name/password to try and connect manually.
Can anyone help??

Unplug your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi. I'm not sure how you would reset the Kindle, but unplugging the WiFi may solve the problem for it as well.
If the problem continues, see <Troubleshooting WiFi Networks and Connections>.

MacBook Pro Can't find home wireless network

I've been having some issues getting my macbook pro, running OS 10.7.5, to find my home wireless network. The network doesn't show up when it searches automatically, and when I type the network name in to find it manually, it says no network found. The computer connects to all other networks and finds then with no issues, and other MacBooks are able to find my home network and connect to it again with no issues.
The computer used to be able to find the network, and then it just stopped working. I have tried all the standard fixes, resetting the router, computer, PRAM, forgetting the network, deleting the key from keychain, but nothing seems to work. I tried googling the issue, but wasn't able to find a problem similar to the one I have.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Still having problems with this.
I have upgraded to Mavericks, hoping that the problem would be fixed, but it hasn't. I still get all networks completely disappearing - even if I search for them they are not found.
But I reboot the computer and it works! But when I am in OS or Bootcamp mode and put the Mac to sleep, it does not see the networks again! I have to reboot the computer for it to work.
I have even got a new router which can receive the b,g and n signals etc. as I was told by a Mac techie here that Macs 'look' for the n signal but can also work with the b and g signals and THAT maybe my old router only transmits b and g or something like that .
This, to me, sounds like a Mac software problem. I had a similar problem on a previous Mac on my "old router" and a totally different router in a different country's telephone system.
I now have the same problem with a new MBP on a new router!

MacBook Pro only can't find home wireless network

Hey guys!
I purchased a 15" retina MacBook Pro by July. It brought Mac OS X Lion with it: I had no problems.
However, more than a month later I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and I started to have the same problem ALWAYS: sometimes I would be connected to my home wireless network, perfectly fine. However, after shutting down, sleeping, etc, whenever I would turn the Mac on again, it wouldn't find my home network wireless anymore, but it would find e.v.e.r.y and other network available. Also, my phone, iPad, and every other equipment, would find it and work perfectly. After several restarts and wake ups from sleeps, the Mac would eventually magically find it and stay connected for an unpredictable amount of times (sometimes it could find it continuously for some days after some sleeps, and sometimes it wouldn't be found again after some hours of it being found again (assuming the computer went to sleep)). But if I try any other of the available networks it connects with no issue!
And I've been in this game constantly! I've tried (almost) all the Mountain Lion wifi-related posts in the Internet, but none seems to solve it.
I have only found a few posts with my related issue, which I recall: the Mac won't find, ONLY, my home network, while any other equipment can, and it can magically find it occasionally, lasting its connection until the next sleep or shut down.
Help would be really appreciated.
Thank you,
Juan

Hum, good point, the problem may lay with the router compability. My sister, who has ML as original OS has been having the same problem of not finding only our home network, so it seems that the problem lies on Mountain Lion compatibility with the router. I just restarted the router several times and we both got internet at the same time. The question is, as always, how long will it last until it won't find it again.
Now, focusing on the router.
Here, in Portugal (as for the rest of the world I don't know), the Internet provider companeis offer their own modems. Not only that, as those modems are both: modems and routers ( http://imageshack.us/scaled/landing/149/ofibrasjaestaabombar.jpg ).
After writting the above, and re-reading what you said, you lighted me up the idea of entering the modem domain (you know, that url you put and have access to every definiton of the router?)
Well, the password "type" was selected to "WPA and WPA2". What I did was selecting "WPA2" only. So far it seems that it is working. I'll do some restart tests etc etc and I'll let you know! (Maybe the problem may persist, but I'll only know days from know as it may seem, for know, that it is solved.)
I'll let you know, and thanks for the help so far, Sig!

Can't find *some* wireless networks

Hi
Have seen vaguely similar posts but couldn't quite follow. I've used my G4 powerbook to connect to a whole range of wireless networks using Airport and have never had a problem. However I was trying to connect to a wireless network at my local pub and couldn't do it. Airport couldn't find it, when I manually entered all relevant info (including password), it still wouldn't connect. Other laptop users, including others with Apples, don't seem to have a problem and they can't get my laptop to co-operate either. It can still find other wireless networks elsewhere with no trouble. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Have the other apple users connected to the "hotspot" in the past? If so, their mac's may "remember" the settings of the network.
The network hotspot, as a security measure, may not broadcast the SSID and you may need to enter it manually, provided the hotspot "posts" it or gives it to your when you make a purchase. (I've seen a number of hot spots either post it near the register of give it to you after making a purchase to prevent users just accessing it without being a consumer of their products)
The hotspot may also encrypt the network, which they will usually provide as well.
I hope this helps!
P.S. There are several "Widgets" available for download that will identify if a network is available, but may not be broadcasting their SSID, this will help confirm that you are getting the signal, but just not the details in order to log in, one can be found here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/networking_security/airtrafficcontrol.h tml

HP 8500A wireless printer can't find my wireless network (but my computer does) using DLink DIR 615.

HP 8500A Wireless All In One has been working fine for ages (minor occasional hickups), but now can't get it to print. Computer still picks up my wirelss network fine. Printer works on all other stand alone pieces. But, one day it stopped printing, so checked wireless signal. Tried all steps and reports (have done that once in past a year ago and reset fine), but still get error saying it "can't find my network"... HELP

PRINTER: HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer
OS: Windows 7
OWNED: Over 2 years with no problems
LOCATION/SET-UP: At my personal residence. All-in-one wireless router through cable company.
ISSUE: All of a sudden, printer cannot find any wireless networks. Nothing has recently changed in my service provider or equipment. I know that the router and internet is not the problem because our 2 smart phones and three laptops still connect. I've triend manually setting up the network using SSID and Keyphrase but still nothing.
HELP!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I would perform a hard reset by removing the power from the entire machienethrough the powercord for thirty seconds. Following that I would reconnect the printer to the wireless network and set a static IP/

IPhone 4 Connects, but Can't Surf Home Wireless Network

Never had a problem with my 3G, and I'm using the same settings on the 4. Using a Linksys WCG200 wireless cable modem/router on Comcast. BTW, wi-fi works everywhere else. It is just on my home network that I'm having a problem.
I've rebooted the router, re-set the network settings on the phone,added the phone to the DMZ Zone on the router, added the MAC address to the wireless access filter, disabled the wireless access filter when that didn't work...
I can connect to the wireless router just fine, and show up as connected in the setup screens of the router, but can't access any web sites, or use any apps (app store, etc.) that require connectivity.
I don't have enough hair to be able to afford what I'm pulling out right now. It seems to me that I've covered all the bases. Am I missing anything? What is my next step?

I have the exact same router as you, I have Comcast, and I am having the exact same INFURIATING problem.
Comcast and Apple have no ideas. Linksys tells me I am having a router problem.
I even went so far as to buy a new router and modem from Linksys (as they claim they no longer make the router/modem combo because it doesn't work well). I still don't buy this... my PC, my PS3, my DS... all of them connect to the router perfectly.
I have the new modem and router here and planned to give that a whirl tonight but Comcast was being difficult and saying it could take 72 hours to activate my new modem. Totally unsat. I had them reconnect the WCG200 and I am still trouble shooting to no avail...
If anyone finds a fix (short of a new router and new modem)... please post!

Can't find a wireless network with my HP Pavilion

I really need some help. I have had this problem a couple times, and each time I had to restart my entire computer and reinstall everything before I could connect again. The computer has no problem connecting with a cable, but it says it can't find Wi-Fi. I would really love to avoid restarting and restoring the computer for a fifth time if I could. I don't know the specifics of the computer, I think it might be a 14z Touch...

Hi ImpossiblyOswin, Welcome to the HP Community, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I will be happy to help you with problem connecting to the wireless network but I will need more information to be able to do that. Let me start by getting your operating system and the product number for your notebook. In your Device Manager what do you have listed under Network Adapters? Do you have this issue just on your home network or other networks as well? If you have only tried with the one network take to a friend's, work or a coffee shop with free wifi so we can eliminate your network as a problem. Do you ever get an error message at all? Thank you,

HP 7510 All In One Printer - Can't find my wireless network

I have 2 wireless networks. The printer finds one just fine, but it will not find the second. Even when I disable the 1st network, the printer will still not find the 2nd network.
The second network is a brand new Linksis WAP300N and has a different SSID.
Any ideas?

Thank you for informing me your steps. Have you tried restoring the network defaults on your printer?
If you haven't performed this step please follow:
1) Touch the Setup menu on your touch screen of your printer
2) Next press the wireless menu
3) Go to the very bottom and look for restore network defaults
4) Click yes to confirm these settings
Next perform my steps in my previous post.
You can also try a power cycle of your router. Turn off your printer, restart the computer, unplug the power cord from the back of your router, and wait 30 seconds.
Please inform me if this step worked for you.

G50-80 can't find my wireless network at all?

My brand new G50-80 can't find my home network at all. And no, the SSID isn't set to hidden. I've spent the whole night troubleshooting, and tried all of the suggestions on the intel website for the AC 3160. The router is D-link DIR-635. It is capable of 802.11n, g and b on the 2.4 ghz band.It is set to broadcast on g, b and n. I have tried setting it to n only but that didn't help. Using "WifInfoView" free software I can see lots of networks, on 2.4 and 5 ghz both, but not my home network.You'd think that it's the router that is the problem, but I have many devices connected to my router already, including an very old laptop, several phones, and a brand new tablet. I have never had such problems before. Seeing how many people have trouble with the connectivity of this card it's frustrating that Lenovo doesn't offer a free support phone number (in my country). Unlike other people I wish a slow signal was the only problem, as I can't see the network at all. I have tried turning off password.I have tried the latest drivers from both intel and lenovo.I have tried turning off bluetooth in device manager.I have tried turning off power saving features.The router is discontinued but has the latest firmware. And as mentioned, other devices can connect to it. Is there anything more I can try other than just returning this thing?

UPDATE!!! If I select "only 802.11g" on the router I can connect.
A bit strange. I'm open to any suggestions, but at least I can connect now.

My mac can not find any wireless networks, my mac can not find any wireless networks

As of a couple weeks ago my can not find wireless networks even though they exist. I try to refresh the scan with no luck.

Is your router plugged in? Do you have internet?
Come on...
I have the same issue. Yesterday I could connect to my wifi just fine, but today I turned on my wifi and the wheel just spins and spins. I restart my phone and I get the "greyed out" wifi switch. So I restart, and I'm back to square one. The wheel just keeps spinning.
I've updated the router firmware, I've power cycled everything multiple times, and still nothing.
Can anyone give a real solution? Or do we just have to suffer until apple update this **** IOS6?

Our iPhones can't find our wireless network, but our MBPs can?

Using AirPort Express. Me and my friend's MBP can connect to the wireless just fine, and we can see the wireless network name on our MBPs.
But when we use our iPhones, our wireless network is nowhere to be found, tried resetting to factory settings and restarting modem etc. Same problem happens to other devices i.e. other laptops, other phones, even Apple products, ONLY our MBPs can connect for some odd reason.
Any ideas on solving this? Thanks...

Done! I looked through some other threads and someone suggested resetting the entire AirPort with the reset button on the actual device instead of in AirPort Utility. Try that! Works completely fine now! Good luck

Macbook pro can't find preferred wireless network

My father signed onto my wireless network using his own laptop (PC) with my passkey. Then after he had been on I tried to connect to the internet with my macbook (and iPhone) and my network was gone. If I look at the list of available networks it lists my neighbor's (which usually doesn't happen) and the name of my father's computer but ours is gone. If I go to my preferred networks, I see mine listed but then when I try and connect to it is says it cannot be found. I tried creating it again but then when I enter the password it says it's invalid. I tried connecting to the network under my dad's computer's name to see if somehow the name changed on its own but it says invalid password as well. Any ideas?

"If I look at the list of available networks it lists my neighbor's (which usually doesn't happen) and the name of my father's computer but ours is gone."
Your father's computer should not be showing up in the list of networks unless he mucked around with your router. Log in to your router's admin pages and see what the issues are.

MBP can't find any wireless networks

I am running os 10.5.1, and last week or so, i was connecting to my network fine, but every so often i would join the network for about a minute, then losing connection, then getting it back for a second and going back off until my mbp required a restart, working for a while then screwing up in the same fashion. however it simply cannot see the network now. In the meantime my ibook running os 10.4.11 was, and still is, running as normal without any problem.
any ideas?
the modem's fine, everything is set up as it should be.
is there any way i can reset the airport settings? or like all the network settings?

A lot of people are complaining. There is no answer to this problem. If you performed the upgrade installation of Leopard, I can suggest you go into System Preferences/Network/ and delete the AirPort network service (select and press the "-" sign in the lower left hand corner of the window), then redefine the AirPort network service (select and press the "+" sign in the lower left hand corner of the window). Reboot the computer and test it out.
Some have said that the migration from 10.4 to 1.5 corrupts these network services.
You might want to see if your router has the most current firmware available as well.
