Issues reconnecting to wifi network

After my mother performed a complete reset of the router (to factory setting), a friend of mine contacted the router's service (Time Warner) and obtained information to regain access to the internet. Following this, only the computers in my house work fine, however, my iPod Touch's Wi-Fi connection refuses to connect to the internet.
Is there anyway I can connect my iPod Touch (4th Gen) back to the internet, after a complete router reset?

Did you try this?
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router.
- Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
What error message/what happens when you try to connect to the network?
Have you friend again contact TimeWarner and hear what they say.

System does not automatically reconnect to wifi network after sleep/restart

My iMac G4 (2GB RAM, 10.5.1, AirPort Extreme) does not automatically reconnect to my wife network after waking from sleep or restart. I just recently switched the iMac from a wired to wireless set-up though the machine has always had the AirPort card. In wired mode, it always automatically found the network.
Network preferences have the "Ask to join new networks" checkbox selected. Below the checkbox it reads "Known networks will be joined automatically."
My wireless router is Linksys WRT150N, security type is PSK and encryption method is AES key.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem, the only way i can connect to my wireless network is to restart the computer, and open safari immediately. Then once it goes to sleep or i shut the notebook, i have to restart it again to use the internet. It's driving me nuts, and nobody knows how to fix it. I've tried firefox (it didn't help) and my sisters macbook connects just fine to my network, so it has to be a network setting. I'm going to schedule an appointment with a mac store tomorrow. so I'll post again when they fix it for me. hopefully i will understand how they solve the problem so i can post it to you guys

Automatic reconnect to wifi network

there is a way to automatically reconnect to a wifi network after the router has been switched on-off?
that's because at home we have a wifi network and router automatically switches off for 1hr during the night, i leave my laptop online but when i wake up in the morning it's always offline cause when the router turns on again my mac won't connect automatically to the network and i have to do it manually!
what can i do??
thanks

X220 very slow reconnecting to WiFi when resuming from sleep

So my X220 with the Intel 6205 card is having issues reconnecting to WiFi when resuming from sleep or hibernation. It takes about a minute for it to do so, though occasionally it will reconnect right away. Maybe 1 out of 20. When doing a cold boot or restart, it connects immediately upon the desktop showing up.
This was not always the case, in fact when I first got my X220 in June, I have not had this issue.... In fact, I don't know when it started happening, but it was maybe a couple months ago. I just thought it was my old router going bad. Well I got a new router, and it still happens. I have the latest Intel WiFi drivers from Lenovo, and I even tried downgrading to the previous driver from Intel's site. Still the same problem. I tried setting a default profile in access connections, and that does not help. In fact, it behaves the same way if I totally uninstall access connections as well. In fact I tried this on three different brand routers, and I can reproduce it on all of them (Asus, Netgear & TP-Link) so I think this is not a router issue. Other devices in the house reconnect right away with no issues (iPhone 4, PS3, Mac desktop, Dell laptop).
I currently have BIOS 1.24, but this was happening with 1.21 and 1.23 as well. My X220 originally came with 1.16, and I haven't updated it until 1.21. Unfortunately I don't remember that far back, if the problem started occuring then.
There was a brief discussion about this in another thread, but it went nowhere so perhaps this will get more attention. At least one other user reported the same issue.
Here's a clip of exactly what happens. When i press the button or open the lid from sleep, the windows wifi icon will start spinning for a few seconds, then turn into an X. then only about a minute later, does it quickly connect to the wifi and I have full signal. Manually clicking on the icon and selecting the access point does not speed up the process. It will only connect when it wants to, about a minute after resuming from sleep/hibernation.

Normally when a laptop running windows tries to connect to a network, it may also seek to identify certain components on the network, for example, asking the router "Who are you?". In your case, maybe the config are corrupted because the network address entries are messed up. Queries send out to the network come back with no replies, and the computer waited for the default time till timeout and it gives up.

IOS4 software bug #2 - Joining WIFI networks disables 3G

I would best explain this software bug as the iPad Wifi issue in reverse! The iPhone 3GS forgets how to reconnect to the 3G network after joining Wi-Fi.
In my case the 3G issues occur when wifi networks are in range and Ask to Join Networks is set to ON.
This procedure seems to help me have a fairly reliable 3G reception:
1) Keep Settings/Wi-Fi/Ask to Join Networks/OFF.
2) I also found that turning Wi-Fi OFF when leaving my house, seems to reduce 3G issues on the road.
3) If a 3G issue occurs anyways with the above settings, turning off the phone for a minute will resolve the issue again. Sometimes it may still be necessary to Reset Network Settings

i am having similar probs....
I am hoping someone here can help me. I'm not a wiz with technology but here goes. I bought my iphone3g a month ago. It never seemed to connect to the wifi i searched on here and someone posted a message about putting a number thread on the dns bit of wi fi details it was fantastic worked great I was very happy. The problem has evolved after 2.0.2 update. Or at least I think that is why it's happened. Now my phone will not connect to my wi fi at home (it's a bt voyager 2500v-3b model). under wi fi settings the voyager is there with a tick next to it.Wi fi is on. In settings-general-network it is there. But my wifi will not work. the signal for it does not show up on my phone. The wifi is working because I'm using right now on my laptop) I've tried turning airplane mode on and off...turning phone on and off...iphone restore...i've tried 'forget this network' and starting again but nothing!! When i use safari it seems to be really slow but thats because the phone is using the (not edge/3g..the other one sorry cant remember its name) network. Is this a 2.0.2 issue? it worked brilliantly before i wish i had never updated new version. PLease if anyone could help me. I loved my i phone before its capabilities were great.. but now it doesn't do what i loved about it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks from a disheartened iphone lover

WiFi Network Locking iMac Up

I have an issue that I believe I have narrowed down to my WiFi network. Starting about two weeks ago, my late 2012 iMac started freezing up. It was happening with all apps. Eventually the apps would un-freeze, but it was not uncommon for the Mac to become unresponsive for ten or more minutes. I have a late 2013 retina MacBook Pro that is configured almost identically to my iMac and there are no issues with that machine. I took the iMac to the genius bar today to have them run some hardware tests and everything checked out just fine. So, I came home and attempted to do a fresh OS install. When I went to set up the system from scratch, it would get as far as setting up the user account and then it would lock up. I tried several times to no avail. I finally tried accessing the internet via the hot spot on my iPhone to see if maybe it was an issue with my WiFi network. There were absoutely no problems and my iMac completed the setup.
I have an Actiontec Q1000 router with a new Time Capsule. Is there anything in my Time Capsule or router settings that would be causing these problems with my iMac? It's strange that it worked just fine when I accessed the internet through my iPhone hot spot. I've never had a WiFi network cause problems with any of my machines and it's strange that it's not causing problems with my retina MBP or any of the other Macs in the house.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks, Greg

Yes, I have a Fusion drive, but this problem is new as of two weeks ago. I've had the iMac for a little over a year with no problems. This is more than just a slowdown though. It's definitely something wrong with the iMac. I suppose it could be related to 10.9.1, but I haven't read anything about other people having this issue. And, it's strange that it works just fine when connected through my iPhone hot spot.

Since upgrading to ios6, all the family's apple devices (new ipad, 2 iphone4 & itouch) are having difficulty reconnecting to the home hub wifi network. I.e, every time the lock screen comes on, the wifi connection is lost when you reopen the device and we have to reconnect through settings. This appears to be an ios6 software issue.
Is there a solution to this wifi connection issue or do we wait for a software fix?
I'd hate to think Apple is going down the Microsoft path, of passing untested software onto the user. What ever happened to Regression Testing, to ensure the existing functionality remains intact?
I bought into the Apple dream, because it was intuitive, reliable & enjoyable to use, all the things that Microsoft windows isn't.
Other issues we are experiencing are, Games are stuttering and the kids really miss the old YouTube app.
Please Mr Browett, sort these issues out.

Impossible to reconnect to home WIFI Network

Hi,
I bought a Blackberry Q5 about a month ago, replacing my old Blackberry Curve. I actually have a number of problems with this phone, but more about those later - my big problem is the wifi connection. When I first activated the phone I was able to connect to my home WIFI network without any difficulty - entered the WEP key and that was it. This morning my phone suddenly informed me that it had disconnected me from my saved home wifi network. Impossible to reconnect, so I deleted the saved profile and tried reconnecting. When I enter the WEP key, it manages to "associate with the network" at the second attempt out of two (first attempt fails usually but then the Q5 tries again automatically) but I then get an error message "unable to authenticate against the network. verify saved network security settings". I have not changed ANY settings and it worked before. Note that two other computers are also connected to my WIFI router via ethernet cable (but also occasionally via wifi) and the internet connection works fine for those computers. Also, my wife has her smartphone (not a Blackberry) connected to the router via wifi and it works fine for her. Can someone please help? I don't have a 4G mobile signal at home so downloading mails and surfing the net via the mobile phone network is very slow and frustrating
Two other complaints I have re the Q5:
1) with my old Blackberry Curve I was able to log onto the local blackberry site  ( http://www.blackberry.orange.fr/ ) and set the parameters of how and which email messages were sent to my Blackberry - for example only messages received from certain addresses or (more importantly) only the message headers. For this latter option it was then possible to either delete unwanted messages directly from the server or only to download for SPECIFIC messages the message body with or without attachments. This feature was especially useful when travelling abroad - which I do regularly - in order to limit expensive roaming bills for downloading large amounts of unwanted or unimportant data (before enabling this feature for my Curve I had a nasty surprise of very expensive roaming bills). It seems that it is impossible to programme a Q5 to filter for specific messages and / or to download message headers only in the first instance. This is NOT progress - does anyone have any suggestions of a work around?
2) My Curve allowed me to set the alarm clock so that the phone would "wake up" and sound the alarm at the correct time even if the phone was turned off. It seems that this is impossible with a Q5 - if so, that is moronic, some of us do not want to have our phones turned on 24/7!
Many thanks in advance

The lask of filtering option is very annoying, that was one of the main advantages of Blackberry mail for me. with Google searches I have read that Blackberry now offers the filtering and email header services I want, using their Blackberry Enterprise service - but i rather fear that this is an extra (paying) service and I am not a company...
BES has always existed, so that is not really a proper correlation. BES indeed is a higher level of service, available for both legacy as well as BB10 devices. But, by itself, BES offers no filtering of the type you originally requested...what BES does is provide an even tighter integration between the remote BB devices and the messaging server (e.g., Exchange, Notes, etc.).
The real difference here is BIS...BIS had filtration services. BB10 does not use BIS, and hence that service is removed.
With BB10, the solution to your situation, as you originally described it, is at the server...and this holds true if it's BES or not. On your server, you need to configure whatever rules you desire. What I do is to leave an Outlook client running all the time, and it has rules built into the client, which move messages around to different places. Any messages that are moved out of the Inbox and into some other folder are then removed from my device Inbox as well. So the result is the same as if I were using BIS -- actually, it's better...all BIS did was say to send the message to the device or not...no other processing possible...with Outlook, I can automatically move the messages around to wherever I desire them to be, and my Inbox is uncluttered on all clients that work with that same email server.

Liekwise, using the alarm feature has suited me since I thus can use my phone to wake me up instead of having to use an oldfashioned alarm clock. But if I am in a different time zone I want to be able to turn off the phone in order to avoid having someone call me at 3 am....
Oh...very simple to accomplish...simply turn off the Mobile Network connection, and you won't receive any phone calls at all. Or modify your notifications and turn the phone ringer off.

Reconnecting to a specific wifi network (preferably hidden)

Here's a weird one.
I'd configured my Powerbook with a range of internet locations, among which one at home, where it would use my ADSL modem's hidden wifi network. So on the Airport page, it says something like "By default join" "a specific network", and then the network ID and password. I could change locations, I could switch off and on Airport or the ADSL modem, my wifi connection would always come back. As expected, right?
So yesterday evening, there was what finally turned out to be an ISP "incident", which showed up on my modem as an authentification alert. That should not have been a big deal, except that in my eagerness to test things (and get back online), I decided to see if one of my neighbours didn't have an open wifi network. And (this is probably the stupid part), I did not first change locations, to something like the "automatic" profile.
Long story short, I can no longer count on automatic connection to my own wifi network. In fact, I can count on it no longer connecting automatically, even turning off and on Airport. I had to "unhide" my network, so that I can reconnect manually easily — and then I'm asked for my Keychain password every time.
I've tried countless times to re-define things as they were, but in fact the home location Airport information a) never changed and b) if I try to connect to another Airport network from there, it has no effect and c) the "by default join" popup menu only gives the "a specific network" option. Also, among the options, I tried switching off the "remember last network" (or some such) option ... which won't turn off.
To make matters worse (?), I tried creating a new location with the assistant (1st time I use that one...). Gives the same result...
I must say that getting this to work was always a bit of a trial and error process for me, without I ever understood why things finally worked and "stuck" in the end
Gremlins... gremlins... haven't rebooted yet, but if this doesn't get better after a reboot, I think I'm going to blow a fuse
Is this an issue that happened to others? Any ideas how to resolve it? I have a rather recent clone of my bootdisk, so I guess I could boot off that to see if it's anything hardware related, but I didn't want to do that before my connection was back up. And it's not going to explain what the &^#@$! is going on either!
Thanks in advance,
René

Hi René,
I'm on Leopard at the moment, so having to trust my old memory a bit.
The Locations get messed up, especially the Automatic one gets confused easily.
First,Repair Permissions with Disk Utility, reboot.
Use Keychain Access in Utilities to Repair Keychain, (under the Window Menu item), then find the relevant entry for your home network, delete that one.
If it's not working now, then drag these files to the desktop, and reboot...
/Users/nnnnLibrary/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
Setup your Networking again, but Make a New Location for you Home connection in Network>Configure>Location>New Location... Apply.

Can there be a hardware issue on the iPad that causes you to unable to join wifi networks or only if you are within 5 feet of routers?

I used to be able to connect my iPad to my house wifi network walking all over my house then one day it stopped. When i tried to connect to my network I would get an message saying "Unable to Join network". I found that if i was within 5 feet of my router it would connect and work just fine. At the same time I tried it at multiple other networks that I have before (girlfriends and other friends houses) and could not connect with same issue. Only place I can connect is my work wifi.
Can connect to wifi with my iPhone with no issues
I have reset my network connections

Brand new iPod Touch 4G won't reconnect to WPA Enterpise wifi network

I have a brand new iPod Touch 4G. Wifi connection at home, where I have a WPA2 "personal" network, works great. However, at the office, I have a WPA/WPA2 Enterprise network. The network is not hidden, but the only way I can connect to it is via the "Other..." option, because I need to specify WPA Enterprise. This means I need to type in the network name, my userid, and my password to connect to it.
The problem is that after being asleep for about 15 minutes, the iPod is not able to reconnect to the network. When the iPod awakes, it does not automatically connect to the network. When I go to the Wi-Fi Networks setting, I can see the network name in the list. If I click on it, my iPod says, "Unable to hoin the network xxxxx". If I click on the (>) next to the name, I'm given the option to forget the network, which means that the iPod remembers the network, but somehow it can't connect to it. My option is to "forget" the network and re-establish it by hand. Obviously, this is not acceptable.

I know WEP is bad, but the other thread implies that some iPods/iPhones running iOS 5.01 show WEP Enterprise as an option. It seems to me that my iPod has a different wifi chip in it, which is why it's broken, even though my iPad running 5.01 works. Maybe the new wifi chip does not support WEP Enterprise? It does offer regular WEP though, so I'm still confused.

[TroubleShooting]Continuity Wi-Fi issue. iPhone and mac not on the same wifi network

Ive been following this and other forums since Yosemite came out few weeks back & i can see many other people are having this issue as well.
The issue is that I'm not able to make/receive calls on my MBP using my iPhone via continuity.
Ive tried all of the possible solutions made here and elsewhere on how to resolve this issue. [playing about with settings and iCloud]
When I'm at home all of the handoff and continuity features work apart from making and receiving calls. Tells me my mac and iPhone are not on the same wifi network, even though they are.
Now, the solution?
Now this is where tourbleshooting comes in. Ive taken my mac and to my homegirls house & all of the features worked including phonecalls, without changing anything, except?? THE ISP and the router at her house.
Personally i live in London, Uk. At home i have sky, and my girl has TalkTalk.
So im 99.9% sure this has nothing to do with the OS X, but rather its the ISP or the router.
Now I'm asking for help from anyone that understands the ISP's and routers, on what kind of issue there might be. Im no computer wiz kid, but I'm guessing it could be something that has to do with the NAT type. (Call of duty on ps3 haha) At my house its moderate and my homegirls - open? could that be the issue? if so are there any router settings i can play about to see if that solves the issue?
Thanks.
Please only post if you know what you're talking about because i don't want anyone giving me some next instructions for my router so i end up without internet what so ever haha And whoever is having the same problem, id appreciate if you'd post on this to keep the post alive

One of the first things I attempted to do when I started up the computer, was join my home network. I searched for the network, found it and entered in the password. The Mac mini would not accept my password (the password is correct), claiming either password was incorrect or the connection timed out. I went to the Airport Utility and noticed the Mac mini was not locating/finding the Airport Extreme (Base), but was attempting to connect to the Airport Express underneath the desk. An important note the Mac Mini and the Airport Extreme are approximately 20 feet apart.
Here are some the methods I used to attempt a fix:
I turned off the Mac Mini Wifi and reset all (3) routers.
I updated the firmware of all (3) routers, reset them again.
I updated the OSX to 10.8.2
I ended up loading the Airport Utility on my Ipad and taking it back to where the Mac mini was located. From the attached picture, you can see on the bottom the Ipad correctly showing the Network and the on top show Mac Mini still searching for the Network.
I ended up hooking the Mac mini though Ethernet using the Airport Express underneath the desk, which is a fix however that an issue if the wifi is not working.
I’m currently at work and will have a chance to work on the computer this evening, does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this issue?
Thank you in advance.

My iphone 5 does not appear to be remembering my home wifi network and connect to it automatically. I have to reconnect manually each time. My other iphone (4s w/iOS6) has no such problems. Any suggestions?

It's not a bug in iOS 6, and it won't be fixed. It's usually caused by your phone having been paired to 2 different networks with the same SSID. So it needs to ask which one you meant. Occasionally be corrupt data in the network settings, which is why Allan suggested Forget This Network.
