IPhone Can not see home network

Ok, I have read a lot of strings about Wii issues and I have tried the following:
- Unplugged (rebooted) my cable modem
- Unplugged (rebooted) my Airport Extreme
- Rebooted my iPhone multiple times
- Turned on and off the Airplane Mode to re-search for WiFi connections.
- Searched manually for the connection (typing in name and password)
- Turned off the WAP/WAP2 Personal security
but nothing seems to work. I can not view my home network on my WiFi.
I can see all my neighbors networks and the phone works great on free networks around town but my home network will not show up.
My home network does work on my laptop though.
Any thoughts?

Nathan:
Great suggestion. I changed it to 802.11 n (with b/c compatability) and I can now see the network on my iphone and I can log in (I think).
I chose the network from the list and put in the password. The first couple of times it did not take but the 3rd or 4th time it seemed to log on. If I go to Settings and look in the Wi-Fi area it has my network name as the network it is logged into but...
There is no WiFi symbol on the top bar of the phone (only an E, for the Edge network) and when I chose any application (Safari, YouTube, etc.) it only accesses through the Edge network.
Any other thoughts?

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted
Trying to help my son set up his ipod touch to connect to the network and the password I entered is not accepted.
1. Which password is required? I entered the password I use for logging into my router
2. The home network is recognized, when selected it requires a password to be entered, but I am just not sure what password it is looking for to connect.
I have not been able to find any information on this subject

jersey0904, Welcome to the discussion area!
You need to enter the wireless encryption password... not the administrative password for the router.

Powerbook does not see home network

Hi, my powerbook has simply stopped seeing ANY networks in my apartment. I have an iMac G5 and a Desktop G4 and they both see my airport express and my neighbors networks no problem. I took the laptop into a store the other day and it saw the store's network immediately and worked fine - i took laptop home and it worked for about 5 mins before shutting off again. Very odd. Can anyone help? All three machines are running 10.4.3
Many thanks,
Carl

Can't test this out here at home, but I did some searching and found:
http://guides.macrumors.com/NetworkingWindows_with_Mac_OSX
as well as:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1359723&tstart=0
The main thing what seems to be the case here is that you need to identify on your Mac what the Windows workgroup name is you use.
You do this as follow:
System Preferences (under the Apple icon) -> select the network adapter you use to connect to your network, I will assume here because its a laptop that you use wireless, so make sure "Airport" is selected. At the bottom you will also see a small lock (left-bottom corner), make sure it is unlocked and if not click on it to unlock it. Now click on "Advanced" to go to the advanced configuration of your Airport and there click on the WINS tab. For WorkGroup, enter the Workgroup name of your home network. If you don't know what it is, then on your Windows computer right-click on "My computer", click on "Properties" and then go to the "Computer Name" tab. It will tell you there.
So enter that workgroup name on the Mac, click on OK and then on "Apply". Wait for a little while and then in the Finder sidebar (on the left), under Shared you should see your Windows PCs appear.
If you do not see the Shared in the sidebar, go to the Preferences of the Finder (Finder -> Preferences), go the the Sidebar pane and make sure "Connected Servers" and "Bonjour" are selected.
If it works then I would suggest you go and also do this for your Ethernet network adapter as the WINS setting would not be filled in there yet, this will ensure that when you connect your MPB using wired that you will still have the Windows stuff.
Hope this helps, sadly not something I can test here so I hope that my information is accurate.

Can not see Guest Network tab on Airport Extreme-

I have an Airport Extreme base station with the Guest Network enabled. Last week my neighbour bought a brand new Airport Extreme base station and asked me to help set it up. Problem is that I can't see the Guest Network tab on his Airport Extreme when I use the Airport Utility. I can see it on mine.
In fact, as the networks are close I can see both airports at the same time. I have verified that the firmware versions are the same.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance.

Your friend likely has a gateway (combination modem/router) from his service provider. Since this device performs as both a modem and a router, and the AirPort Extreme is also a router, you have two routers in series on the same netowrk.
When this occurs, the second router...the AirPort Extreme in this case....must be configured in Bridge Mode for correct network operation.
Check the following setting:
AirPort Utility > Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Is the setting for Connection Sharing set to Off (Bridge Mode)?
If yes, the Guest Network feature is not available in this setting. Your friend will need to replace his gateway with a simple modem if he wants to enable the Guest Network feature.

Can't see home network on MBP-how do i search for it?-how to map a drive?

i'm new to the mac computers -- i just recently bought a MBP -- i have connected it to our home network -- my husband has a PC that has files on it that we both share and use -- i've gone to finder and sometimes i'll see his computer on it but most times i won't. how do i "search" for it? i know how to do that on a pc but can't seem to find a way to search for network folders on the mac? is there a way to map a drive on the mac like you can on the pc?

if his computer is turned on and the file is shared then you should be able to open up your 'mac HD' and on the left side under devices you should see the name of his computer... after you click the device it will then list all the files that are shared... you may also want to check the sharing permissions that he has set on the folders as well

Can Not Find Home Network On iPad 2

I have reset my network settings, reset iPad, and reset my router. I tried toggling airplane mode and Bluetooth on/off. I have not found anything that works. I have an IPad 2 and my daughter has one as well. Her iPad does not have a problem connecting to our home network but mine can not even find the network for some reason even when I'm right at the router. I have seen a lot of threads that says people began having this problem after the update but I didn't update my device and it has never done this before. it started this problem yesterday. Is there anyone else having this problem and maybe found something that will fix it?

JimHdk has the Fest suggestion. Take your iPad to some place that has free Wi-Fi like your library or a Starbucks. You might also try a friends Wi-Fi. If your iPad works with those other networks I would suspect a problem with your router. But if you iPad does not connect at those other locations you most likely have a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at an Apple store for a consultation.

Airport can not see any network

Hi.
I am struggling with airport on my macbook. There are many wifi newtorks around me, my iphone can see them all, but all of the sudden, for the second day my macbook cant see any of them. I already tried everything, however nothing works any ideas?

Hi,
try to repair your mac os x. Put in the mac os x dvd, and hold down the "c" key before you start your macbook.
Utilities > Disk Utility. Repair Volume and after that repair permissions.

After restoring the iPhone, did you see the message "Congratulations your iPhone is unlocked"?

TS1398 after upgrade to ios 6.0.1 WIFI is very weak or can not see WiFi networks (iPhone 3GS)

Is there a way to restore the WiFi functionalilt of the iPHONE 3Gs after itw was upgraded to IOS 6.0.1 ?
I see there are lots of things on the internet, but nothing that actually works !

Thanks Chris for your solution.
But just for you know that I bought Apple to get the 'after service', they should've warn the users not to upgrade to a higher OS if it can caused the phone 'dead'. Mine was totally unusable when it's just been upgraded. It stayed in the recovery mode and couldn't be restored. So I brought it to the nearest store and they did that to me, and eventually the phone is working, only it cannot detect my SIM Card...
The problem is not about upgrading an iPhone to a newer version of iOS. Your problem was upgrading a hacked phone, one of the well known consequences of which is re-locking and/or bricking the entire device when restoring in iTunes. You chose to hack your phones firmware and operating system, so you must accept the consequences of going outside the bounds of normal use that Apple prescribes and supports.
Had you not hacked it in the first place, you likely would have never had a problem, and if you had, Apple would have offered support to deal with it. Your choice, your decision, your consequences.

TS1398 iPhone can not see any wifi signals anymore.

Used to work fine, have updated, reset, rebooted etc but still nothing. Other iPhones in the house all still OK. HAve tried several locations that it used to connect to wifi. Have worked through all the help pages and tried all those ideas. Process of elimination confirms the issue is with this 4S handset. Anyone got any other suggestions?

My phone can see networks with 1 bar,(or 2 when 5 feet from my router), but i am unable to connect. After trying every concievable solution, including several restores both via the menu and itunes, i gave up and called Apple. The rep agreed that it most certainly must be a hardware problem and assured me that as soon as they recieved it back in post i would be sent a "replacement" phone. She actually couldn't apologise enough for the inconvenience of being without a phone for 5 DAYS, as this is how long the turnaround would be, i was assured. This suggests to me that indeed there is a bad problem with the built in wi-fi as the same or very similar problems are all over the forums. I of course don't expect to actually get a phone back for 10-12 days but miracles may happen...>>>>

It is quite obvious that you people at apple keep your eye on the forums, why is it your company never listens to it's customers in them. Better support for your products which cost us plenty, would be a good place to start. Having 2 dead ipods, 3 working ones and a iphone from apple, bears testimony that i am a loyal customer. How about returning the loyalty by putting out products that work first time - every time...

PC not seeing the network and not being seen on the network

I set up a WRT54G to use as my network router. I have two pc's hooked up to it via wire, as the software used for the company requires this. 1 is my server, and there are no problems. I can connect to the Internet fine. The number 2 pc can connect to the Internet fine, but it can not see the network. Number 1 pc can not see the number 2 pc on the network. HELP!!! The work groups are the same, and I followed all the instructions hooking up. My laptop even hooks up to the wireless Internet. What do any of you think? Thanks

Check firewalls, and any virus suite that you may be using. Make sure that under trusted IPs you have check trust my network. You should be able to find that under personal firewall tabs in the virus suite.

Since upgrading to latest iOS, my WLAN can not see many wifi networks, my friends iPhones pick them up easily. What should I do?

Since upgrading my 4s iPhone to the latest iOS , I now can not see many wi-fi locations beyond my home network. Friends can find and connect to many wifi networks yet my iPhone does not even see them. I can not recall prior to the upgrade whether in the settings whether turning on the wifi was shown as wifi or WLAN however the on/off is now WLAN. Not sure what the difference is. I totally reset the phone but no improvement. Can any body help me?

I have tried this however it did not make a difference. I found another user on the support pages that has the same issue.
