IPod no longer connects to home Wi-Fi at distance

Got home yesterday to find that my iPod only connects to my WiFi when I'm right in front of the hub (BT). I can no longer get WiFi on my iPod anywhere in the house (where I always had 2 bars of signal), but all other devices (tablet, phone, xbox, laptop) work fine. I have reset my router and my iPod, neither made a difference - I can still only get connection in one room. Help!

Does the iOS device see the network?

Apple TV no longer connects to Home Sharing

Hello,
Frustrated and working on this issue for month - Apple TV no longer connects with Home Sharing! I have uninstalled all apple firmware and reinstalled from scratch ITunes, I have checked and unchecked Home Sharing and entered password dozens of times! I have reset all four apple TVs and I have unchecked/disabled IPV6 and it still does not work. all four Apple TVs have worked for years and somewhere along the way they just stopped.
I am running Windows 7 and the only thing that has changed in the path is the Time Warmer Arris router. Apple TV still connects to WiFi and Netflicks.
Please help,

No longer connects to home wi-fi

During the last 7 to 10 days my razr upgraded to version 4.0.4 (ICS). Sense it did this, I can no longer connect to my Wi-Fi at home.
Specifics: it would say it was connected, but when I opened a browser or went to fb or my email I would be notified that my data is turned off (it was on), or that the browser was having connectivity issues, or that my app had timed out. I have gone through all the different setting configurations on my router, nothing I changed had any effect, other than knocking my daughters phone off the wi-fi, so I changed it all back as it was before. I tried "forgetting" the wi-fi and then re-adding it, did not work.
I took my phone to a verizon store. the first thing they said was "it picks up our wi-fi, soo..." As you can imagine, after a week or so of trying all these different things, I was not in the mood to hear it was not really an issue. I went through everything I have tried with them. I asked them if they knew what frequency their wifi was set at, etc.. They reset my phone to factory settings and sent me on my way. I was hopeful.
I came home. There was a slight difference. Now, instead of saying its connected but not actually being connected, it cycles through " Turning on Wi-Fi" "Obtaining IP address" "saved" "Turning on Wi-Fi" "Obtaining IP address", etc. occasionally it will say "avoided poor connection". when it is on "saved" if I look at the connection strength, it is "excellent". Before the ICS upgrade, I had no issues with Wi-Fi connection, and the xbox and my daughters connections are fine. Nothing has changed except the ICS update.
I went back to the verizon store, they looked at it for a min and said "it connects to our wi-fi".... End result is that they are getting me a replacement phone, which has to be shipped to me from Motorola, and should be here in a week. But the phone will also have to upgrade to the ICS version. And it might not work either.
My router is a Cisco Linksys e2000. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I have reset the router, phone has been reset, wifi connection has been forgotten and reentered many many times. I have tried switching my router from 2.5ghz to 5 ghz (daughter lost her connection then) I have gone through "mixed" "G & B Only" "B only" "G Only" "N Only". I have tried switching channel widths, and the channel itself is set to auto.. I do not know what else to try. My phone has an IP address, though it looks odd compared to other IP address's I have seen, and it has a mac address as well. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi there! I certainly hope the replacement device works properly with your home Wi-Fi Network. I have not seen this as a common concern and am confident this is resolved for you. If you need further assistace, please let me know!

Phone will no longer connect to home wifi.

My phone just sits there loading on the the Belkin router option that is my home wifi. I've tried resetting my phone and syncing to itunes and nothing seems to work. I've also tried forgetting the network, then reentering the wifi code; this also doesn't work. I have a limited data plan so I need this wifi to keep from going over that 2 GB limit as the overdraft fees will wreck me.

I can only choose hotspot browser as my default browser, I have no other option available.
I am on an orange 12 month canary plan.
Please help me connect to wifi!
I forget which Orange UK plan I'm on, but it works fine so
Does you plan include Data?
Which carrier's SIm were you using before? Have they turned off your service yet?
Have Orange enabled your BIS (data plan needed)
If you do not have a data plan, why not? (not meant to offend - but need to know to assist)

TS2771 Ipods no longer connect via USB after using a USB 3.0 for the first time

After trying to connect my Ipod Nano (2nd gen) and Ipod touch to my new computer that has USB 3.0 they both will no longer connect to anything via USB (ipod docks). Is this problem fixable? They still play music via the heaphones.

Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

Both of our iPhone 4s no longer connects to home wifi, iPad and iMac still do.

Our home wifi appears to be working fine. Our iPad and our computer are connected and have no trouble. However, both my husband's and my iPhone 4s that have always been connected no longer connect. It can see the signal, allows me to click on it an enter the network key, but then says unable to connect. We reset our wireless hub but that did not help. I restarted my phone and reentered the network key twice. I'm fairly sure that it stopped working right after the most recent update. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't want to drain all my data down while I'm @ home.

Update, the iPad worked all morning and the second that my settings button showed that there was a new software update, it disconnected from the wifi and is now behaving exactly like the iphones. This has got to be an issue with the new software.

Apple tv is no longer connected to Home Sharing

I have home sharing running on my Windows 7 PC with two Apple TV's. One of them is on version 4.4.3 the other is on verison 4.4.4. The apple TV with the latest version is no longer seeing my Home Share, yet the apple TV with the older software is. I have rebooted the network, logged out of home sharing, turned it back on and even reset the apple TV with no success.
Does anyone know if I missed anything? Internet test works fine, it is connected to the network, but it cannot see the movies I have in my library.

I have just developed the same problem. Everything on my Apple TV works just fine except it will no longer load my library from my computer. I can play movied from my computer, ipad or iphone onto my ATV, but it will no longer pull them from my computer. Everything worked until latest itunes update. I have started itunes match, but everything worked after that as well.

IPhone 5 will no longer connect to home wifi

My iPhone 5 has been connecting to my home wifi without any troubles, however all of a sudden, for the last couple of days it will no longer connect. When I go to Settings, it shows my the name of my home network next to Wifi as though it's connected, however if I go into the Wifi settings, instead of a tick next to my home network, it has the little pinwheel that shows it's trying to connect to it. The wifi triangle never appears at the top of the screen and the wifi never fully connects.
My wifi is working normally when I connect to other connections outside of my home.
I have reset Network Connections, re-entered my home wifi password, but I still have the same result.
The only thing I can think of is that there are now more phones in the house using our wifi connection so maybe I have somehow been kicked off?
Please Help!

Hi Brenden,
Thanks for your reply. I had already tried the steps in that article and I don't know how, but a few hours after I reset my network connections & re-entered the wifi password, the wifi began working again.
Now some of the other members in the household can no longer connect so it appears I have bumped them off!
Oh well at least mine is working again!
Thank you for taking the time to answer my query.

Ipod touch shows connection with home computer but can't access internet

Just got ipod touch...and can't connect to internet on home computer. Wifi is on and it shows connection to my home computer but I can access the internet.

What iP address is shown on the iPod for network connection? If it starts with 169 you are not connected to the network, the 169 IP is assigned by the iPod and not obtained form the router.
I would try:
- powering off and then back on yur router.
- Reseting network settings on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

After iOS5 update, iPod no longer connects to car stereo

Hi,
my husband and I both have an iPod touch 4th generation.
We also have a Dodge Caravan with a car stereo, that lets up hook up the iPods and control them over the display. The cable does not charge the iPods, but we knew that.
I have updatedt my iPod a while ago and never encountered any problems with the car stereo.
My husband updated his iPod to iOS5 today, and the car stereo does not connect via the cable. On the iPods display it just says, an error has ocurred.
Would that be a hardware issue? The iPod is a month or two past warranty. We already tried restarting and resetting the iPod (not to factory settings).
Is there maybe a way, to return the iPod to iOS4?
Thanks for any help

Sometimes, when you cannot "see" your ipod, it is because the drive that was assigned to the ipod, when you connected it, is already being used by the other devise. Your ipod is connected, but is "under" the other item, which means that you have to disconnect that item, so that you can "see" it. It will not be one of the drives that are normally associated with the computer like the C drive, or the ones assigned to your disc drives. It would be a drive that was assigned to an external devise, or another USB devise. This may or may not be your problem, but it is worth a shot.

My Ipad2 (and Ipods) No longer Connect to my Wireless

I have reset the router, reset the internet.....everything else in my house (Cell Phones, Laptops, Mac, Kid's PC, XBOX, Wii, DS) all connect effortlessly. My Ipad and Ipod did as well until 2 weeks ago. Has there been some update that has screwed this up? It is rough when My Ipad wil connect to any Wifi signal at a random location but won't connect to my home network any longer.
This is what I've tried:
Resetting internet
Resetting Router
Doing the above and then restarting my Ipad
Resetting my Settings to factory defaults .... and doing the above.

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.

IPod no longer connecting to PC

My iPod is no longer recognized when it is connected to my PC. I connect it with a firewire cable (not sure where my USB cable went). It is able to charge through the cable and the screen lights up when it is connected but neither my PC nor itunes recognize it and it doesn't display the "do not disconnect" message.
It used to work perfectly connecting this way and I have not made any major changes.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not here to help you, on the contrary, I'm having the same (or at least, a similer) problem.
My iPod (4TH Gen) used to work fine. One day iTunes tells me something like: iTunes has detected a iPod in recovery mode... having backed up my music before, I now pressed the recover button. It then told me to connect the iPod to the wall outlet charger. I did so. But after connecting it to my PC again, it started all over, telling me to recover... I repeated the process, and again it didn't work.
Somehow after a good few times it gave in, and started working. But only two days passed, and there you go once again. I'm caught in the trap of this never ending cycle, and I see no way out.
Go figure.
