Mac won't connect to home hub

I am trying to connect my MacBook pro to my bt home hub but despite entering the correct password I am told I have no Internet connection. The wifi sign in system preferences is orange, and says I have a self assigned ip address. The hub is working on other devices in the house. I have tried both apple and bt and neither can help!!

Go into your router's page and disable password protection and try connecting again.

My mac won't connect to any network

My mac won't connect to the router.

I am very new to macs and recently bought a Macbook pro, I have connected to my router a D-Link, DSL-G604T but when I enable WEP security the mac won't connect only my PC's will. I am prompted by the mac to put in my Encryption key but it still doesn't work. I am able to to set the router to WPA-PSK but get stuck on the length of the string that I am supposed to put in? Will this set up work better?? Very stuck mac virgin, pleas help.

First, I strongly suggest that you use WPA or WPA2 instead of WEP for your wireless encryption...but if you must use WEP & work in a mixed (PC/Mac) environment...
Always use Hex characters for WEP encryption. Either 10 Hex characters (for 40-bit WEP) or 26 Hex characters (for 128-bit WEP)
If you use an ASCII password or passphrase, then use either 5 ASCII characters (for 40-bit WEP) or 13 ASCII characters (for 128-bit WEP)
Note: Because manufacturers may use different algorithms to translate between ASCII & Hex, that this doesn’t always work, and is one of the leading causes of issues with keys.

MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

Mac won't connect to ftp server for iweb

my mac won't connect to the ftp server. i have been
trying to publish a site on iweb

Well, do you actually have a web host server to be able to connect to in the first place. You need this before you can publish a website from iWeb in that way.
Also, you don't publish a site on iWeb. You use iWeb to design your website and then publish from iWeb to your web host/server.
What version of iWeb are you using?
More info generally would be useful.

Sharing Mac's across a BT Home Hub network

I had a problem with this today and saw that this has been asked before with no answer available, and that topic has been closed.
The original poster had problems connecting macs across his BT Home Hub network.
I went into advanced settings on the BT home hub router and changed the wireless config to use 802.11b/g instead of the default 802.11b/g/n. Apply and reboot the router. This now allows macs to connect to each other wirelessly.
Hope this helps someone.

No joy I'm afraid.
Tried this on both mac's and once again it timed out…
Could it be a home hub setting?
Just wanted to check to see if anyone else had this problem before I spend 3 hours speaking to some dude with no knowledge of apple in an indian call centre!

IPhone with iOS 7.1 won't connect to Home Share

IPod 5th Generation won't connect to home wifi?

I've had this iPod since this summer and suddenly it disconnected from my home wifi and hasn't connected for two days now. Yes, it will connect to wifi everywhere else such as school. Although, when I come home it fails to connect to our wifi.
I know it isn't a problem with our wifi since all the computers are still connected (along with other Apple products such as Macs and iPhones).
It's only my iPod that won't connect.
Every time I try to connect it says that I have failed with the password and that it's unable to connect. I have tried resetting all settings and also tried resetting my network settings...
Any other ideas? My iPod is version 8.1

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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 your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My Mac is wired to the home hub but I also want wi...

I have today commissioned my black Home Hub to my Mac and it is working perfectly. But my son has a PC laptop (Vista) and wants to connect to the internet using my Home Hub whilst my Mac is still connected. I am sure this is possible but I don't know how to achieve this without affecting my own wired connection. We tried to connect by entering my wireless key but all it said on his laptop was "the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network." I previously had a Netgear router that he was able to log into with another ISP, but should this affect a new connection on his laptop? Basically is it his laptop or my hub that's the problem? Hope someone can help.

To connect wirelessly you would need just one wireless access point like the home hub, the 220v does not have the wireless facility. You would only need one wireless router on your set up.
To connect wireless just have a check out at This link it shows how to connect most type of BT routers, for You need no special programs for an apple, as long as you have airport on the MAC as that is what is used to connect wirelessly

MacBook and husband's iPhone won't connect to home Wifi, but my iPhone and iPad will.

As of this week, our home Wifi won't connect our MacBook (2008) or my husband's iPhone 4 to our home Internet. Our iPad 2 and my iPhone 4 still connect no problem. We appear to get the signal, but get error messages about not connecting to the Internet with browsers.
We've tried turning things off and on, forgetting and re-adding networks, and copying info from my phone to his, but have all been unsuccessful.
We share our Internet with our neighbor and nothing has changed with that. We asked her to turn off/on the router and/or modem with no change.
The ONLY difference I can think of is my husband started his last semester at school this week and he uses both devices on campus. He has to use his campus ID and password to get on campus Wifi so he doesn't change any settings, but I feel like its all leading back to that.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!!!

Forgetting the Network didn't work. It's dong the same thing.
So if it's a router problem, what can we do?
Two devices work, and two don't...I just don't understand why.
Could it be that too many people have logged into our wireless and now it's out of IP's? Could we ask people who have previously logged into our internet to delete it completely? I don't know if that would free anything up?

Cannot connect to Home Hub Manager

Cannot connect since I renamed my 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels.
I used a space and bracket which I don't think works - i.e. BTHomeHub (2.4GHz)
However I cannot now access the Home Hub Manager to rename the networks.
I have tried to access via:
api.home
192.168.1.154
bthomehub.home

I suggest you try a factory reset of the hub

Mac won't connect to internet after sleep

Hi,
I've seen this problem to more and more users.
After i have updated Mac OS to 10.5.7 my Macbook won't connect to my airport express after waking from sleep. Even worse, when i wake my mac, all the computers from my wireless network loose their connectivity to Internet. I have to restart the Airport and the Macbook everytime. You can imagine this is becoming frustrating.
The funny part is that all the other laptops which have windows on them work without problems so i'm guessing this is related to Mac OS and not the Airport.
based on what i have read so far on the forums, i've tried to reset the connection, to change it's name, encryption, update Airport firmware version...everything.. No luck. The only thing that gets my connection back is to do a restart both to Macbook and Airport.
Does anyone have a solution to this issue?
Thanks,

Is anyone else having this issue?
