IPad3 loses connection to home network and same happens to laptops.

I purchased the new IPad a week ago. Since then, I often lose connection to home network. Cannot join network unless I power off and on the modem/router. This also hapens every morning. The same is now happening with our wireless laptops. Never had any problems all these years until the iPad was introduced to our network. Our Internet provider confirmed that modem/router protocols were set per advice from Apple Support and they did additional tweaking but problem persists. I am thinking of getting a new modem and router but wonder if it is worth it. Has anyone had similar problems where their other devices are having the same connection issues as the iPad? Thanks.

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.

Can't connect to Home Network and Printer

hi,
I just bought my first mac, its a macbook with leopard, and am having quite a bit of trouble connecting it to our home network. I'm not much of a computer whiz, so i have no idea what to do. Our network doesn't have any security, but does need a password, and each time i try to connect it after putting in my name and password it says "The Volume cannot be Mounted" and then comes up with an error message saying "an unexpected error occurred". And because i cannot connect to the network i cannot connect to our printers and need them desperately, i start uni in a week!
what can i do?
thanks
dan
if more details are needed let me know...

What version of Leopard are you using? I asked because Apple just released 10.5.2.
Plus if you are adding a lone Mac to a windows network then read the user reports at MacWindows.com (you should have the site bookmark if you are going to mix Macs into PC networks).

I have a Mac on my home network and also a Systemline music server on same network. My PC was able to find the server but my MAC cannot. I can ping the server from the mac, but cannot actually connect . Also can't add the mac as a location from server, despite following the Systemline instructions that impy this can be done.
Can anyone please advise what I am doing wrong?

Hi LowLuster
Thanks for reply. I am not an expert on these sharing protocols but I think I have turned on SMB sharing but still wont connect. I tried adding netwrik drive by using cntrl K in finder and using smb\\network address but nothing. It is driving me mad!!

Recently I was working on my home Network and lost myPassword for my Home wireless connection. After many attempts, I remembered thepassword and was able to get in. Now the MacBook Pro only works at home on aHard wire connection. I have an additional 9 devices on the same network, allare functioning properly. The Air connection works fine at any other Networksout side the Home connection. I did a PRAM reset, deleted the Network profileand rebuilt in System Preferences. Still unable to connect wireless on Homenetwork. Any Ideas?

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

Connect Fios to Cat5e home network AND Coax connections?

My Verizon fios system was recently installed. My home is wired for a Cat5e home network and standard Coax in all rooms. The fios system is currently connected to the Coax connections and the TVs and Fios router all work fine. Problem is that I would also like to use the Cat5e connections for devices that access the internet that don't have wireless capability and are not proximate to the Fios router. Is it possible to connect the ONT to my Cat5e home network so that I can connect other devices directly to the Cat5e outlets, and keep the existing Coax set-up?
I understand that the standard Fios set-up only allows using either an Ethernet output or the Coax output, but not both. Any suggestions?
One option might be to move the router to the basement (where the equipment is located that I want to connect to the Cat5e network), but then the router will likely be too far from the rest of the house to receive the wireless signal. In that case, is it possible to connect a wireless router in another location (I have a Belkin wireless router). Or do I need to get another router from Verizon?

I just spoke to Verizon Fios Tech Support and they claim that it is NOT possible to use both the Coax and Cat5e connections. So, for those that have a Cat5e home network, but still want to use th Coax for TV, Verzon says you are out of luck.
Thats not strickly true but its not bad info either. You cant use both the coax and cat5 at the same time for INTERNET. The coax internet port (moca) is not active at the same time as the ethernet port. However, many systems use the ethernet for internet and coax for TV.
Depending on how your house is set up this can be accomplished many different ways.
I would assume that you have some kind of utility closet were all the ethernet cables converge, where you could place the router so that it can connect to all the rooms. Is this correct? If so, is there also a coax connection in there? Again, if so, you could place the verizon router in the closet, connect the coax to the router for the link to verizon and the TV's and then connect the ethernet to the lan for the rest of the house. This would be the simplest way assuming that you have this type of connection available to you. there are many other ways but it would all depend on what you have available to you and how your house wiring is set up

Can I connect two apple tv on same network and same apple ID at a time ?

Can I connect two apple tv on same network and same apple ID at a time ?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Yes you can do all that without needing to keep plugging things in and out. You will still need to manually turn on the receiver and turn down the volume from the tv though.

Wifi keeps scanning and dropping even after connected to home network. Never had this issue until the update, and now my phone runs slow and terrible. Horrible update!! Any ideas on a fix?

It's important that you have a steady WiFi connection, ZealousEdge. What phone do you have? Is your phone unable to connect to any WiFi network? If you can, please try deleting the saved WiFi network and re-adding it.

Wifi network? Tap on the settings icon. Choose the name of your network, tap on it, follow the on screen prompts to sign into the network.
If it's not wifi, then you can't. The iPad doesn't support wired internet

IPod Touch only connects to home network; not Airport, Starbucks, Panera...

Before I start, I've read the FAQs and have looked through a number of topics already posted.
I seem to have the opposite problem everyone else is having. My iPod Touch connects just fine to my home wireless... It connects and I'm able to browse the internet, download apps, etc without fail.
However, when I was at the airport recently (both St. Louis and Dallas/Ft. Worth), my Touch would "connect" to the wireless there, but I couldn't go on the 'net or get new apps, etc. It was behaving as if I wasn't at a location with wireless access. When I returned home, I went to Starbucks, Panera, McDonald's... several places with free, open, easy-to-connect WiFi (and took my laptop to make sure that their wireless was working), and had the same problems as I did at the airport.
Considering the best part of having wireless on the Touch is that you should be able to access it anywhere with WiFi, it seems kind of "useless" to have it only work at home (I have two computers at home; so it's not like I need to use the Touch for internet there).
Any thoughts? Obviously, the whole "check your router settings" / "reset your router" answers are not going to help me, as I have no control over those, nor can I see them at these places. Help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm having the same problem. My iPod Touch connects to my home network and another secure network for which I enter the network name and password. However I am unable to connect to any free WiFi, even when my laptop can access it with no problem. The signal is apparently strong; I can see all the bars on the upper left, but when trying to connect to Safari or the app store it says that there is no connection.

N80 home network and WWW

I have recently purchased an n80 and I am trying to get the home networking and internet functional through my wirless router. So far I have had little success. I have enabled upnp on my d-link router/modem . I have installed The simple center software on my laptop and uploaded files to share. I have setup an access point on my n80 and I have enabled sharing. The shared folders on the n80 have also been selected to share all files. The simple center software has been allowed to operate through xp's firewall. THe only thing I am not sure about is the port forwarding on the router. I have a trigger port and a public port in the applications gateway section of my router . I have entered the ports listed in the simple centers setting section (1900,49153,49154,49152). I have these numbers in both the trigger port and the public port on the TCP protocol.
Occasionally I can connet to the internet. However when I close the connection down and try to start it up again sometimes it does not work , showing 'unable to perform operation'. The only way to re-establish the connection is to power the router down then backup(reset).
The same goes for the home networking. I had no success a all on the first day of trying. Went to work. When I came back tried it again and it worked perfectlly ?? Now on the third day it is working ocassionally.
Anyone else had simmilar problems ? If so any soultions would be appreciated ! The phone itself seems to be pretty glitcy. And battery life isnt the best either. Apart from that eh !

Forget that - just sussed it out...
I'm using v3.0617.0.6 (03-05-2006) RM-92, Nokia N80 (31.01)
I can't seem to get anything using the browser - I constantly get "Out of memory" errors, even when trying to use GPRS.
It moans something about "packet data" and then bombs out...

Unable to connect to home network (WPA2-PSK, works on Windows)

Hello!
I am having problems with connecting to my home network (on a FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7360 SL) which uses WPA2-PSK encryption.
Windows works normally so I don't think that it is a router issue.
In addition, I managed to connect to my Universities WPA2 network and another unsecured network without problems.
I tried netcfg+wpa_supplicant, wpa_supplicant on its own and wicd (on a sidenote, wicd didn't even manage to connect to the router when using a cable). None worked.
This is the wpa_supplicant conf file that I am using:
## wpa_aachen.conf
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="myssid"
psk=hexcode
proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
I am getting an "authentication timeout" error everytime I try. Yes, I double and triple checked the passphrase. I also tried it via hexcode and plaintext passphrase.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

NetworkManager start
then it will pop up in the notification area click network settings / wireless /connect to hidden network and type name, pass and it connect just fine..

Cannot Connect to Home Network - Invalid Password

I moved to a new home which required a new password. I can connect my android devices to the passport wireless device just fine. I attempted to connect the passport device to my home network and I immediately receive the message "Invalid Password" and a split second later this message pops up " Attention, your request is currently being processed". I am entering in the correct password. I tried entering in an incorrect password and it shows the image that its attempting to connect and it takes about 15 seconds for me to get the "invalid password" message. Will I have to factory reset my device? I want to avoid this at all costs since I did this before and ended up needing to get a replacement passport device. Please help.

Okay, try these steps. Pictures would help, but I don't have time. Connect your Android device directly to the MPW via WiFi.Tap the menu (three bars) in the top left corner.Tap settings.Tap the name of your MPW just below the "My Passport Wireless" heading.Scroll down to the "Wi-Fi" section, and tap that. What you see here may vary from what I do a bit, as my MPW is connected to my home WiFi network. If you see your home Wi-Fi network name below the heading "Connect to Internet", then;Tap the blue "i" in a circle at the right of the name.Tap the "Forget This Network" item. If you don't get the blue "i" in a circle, which you probably wont, then I think you need to do need to do a manual System Only Reset, as per page 47 of the manual. What I'm thinking is that when you moved house, you kept the same SSID (wireless network name) on your wireless router, but changed the password. Is that correct? If so, the problem is that the MPW remembers your old network, and the old password, and keeps trying to connect using that information. Hence the above instructions to "forget" that network, at which time you can start again in setting up the MPW connection to your home wireless network. An alternative would be to change the wireless password on your wireless router back to what it was when the MPW was still able to connect, back at your old house. Still another alternative would be to change the SSID on your wireless router, and set up the MPW to connect to this "new" wireless network. Both those alternatives require a bit of work on your home wireless network, and require changes on all devices which use the network; either just a password change back to the old one, or both a password and network name (SSID) change. Both are more work than resetting the MPW. If you do reset the MPW, don't forget to also update it to the latest firmware, as I believe that a reset puts the original, as delivered firmware on to the MPW. If none of the above helps, I think you need to raise a support ticket with WD.
