More wifi issues

Basically my iphone and laptop will not work on the same network together. When I log into my friends network next door and leave my laptop on mine they work fine. When i try connecting to anything when the iphone and laptop are on the same network they will not connect to the internet. I have a netgear "g" router with standard wep security. Any suggestions?

Ensure mac-filtering if used, includes the iPhone radio mac address( found under "about") and verify your passphrase by changing it. Ensure the address pool has enough ip addresses allocated in the range and once you get it working, stop using WEP!!!! Try WPA TKIP Pre-Shared Key (PSK) at the minimum, WPA2 AES PSK would be your best available option. Can your iPhone "see" your network? If so it's probably an issue above.

  • Can anyone tell me if the majority of the wifi issues are due to 10.4.8?

    i.e., have many tested reverting back to .6 or .5 to see if the issue is/was resident then? Is that a possible temporary fix to the issues noted all over this board?
    In case anyone wonders, my issues are similar to most others...BOTH my wifes 2.16 Core Duo and my new 2.33 C2Duo are experiencing the same issues. While at school, she cannot see any of the numerous nearby networks. I JUST got her to switch to a mac, and now this. Her old HP laptop saw about 6 or more wifi's nearby before, and most importantly her schools wifi connection. But now that she is on the mac, nothing. SOMETIMES, and I do mean only rarely a few networks will surface, but then disappear again. I decided to take my 2.33 C2Duo down there and see if the situation was the same with me...it was/is. Every now and then I might see a network or two, but not the shcools.
    This in addition to dropping off my own home wifi over and over again also. I will get a connection and surf away, and then I notice that the airport icon has lost connection. I click the icon and there is my network, avail as ever, so I select it and surf again...same issue with her laptop and my step-fathers 17 inch Core Duo. We all experience the same dropped airport connection. And I can tell you it has nothing to do with idle time or sleeping. I can be surfing along and sometimes if I pause for less than a minute, the connection is lost. Btw, I also just got my step-father to switch, and while in general he is VERY happy, this is a knock-out blow to the saying "It just works." Uhm, nope it doesn't.
    I have tried nearly every "trick" and tech troubleshooting idea I have come across here on the boards...I used to be a Mac tech in CA for about 5 years, working for ABC and Disney, so I think I can count myself amongst the more knowledgable Mac users out there.
    So, to sum up again, can anyone tell me if they are having these issues with a version previous to 10.4.8?
    p.s. BTW, I just saw the release of some EFI updates for the Mac line-up...I will update my wifes machine and let you know if anything gets better, but my 2.33 says that this update is not for this machine/isn't needed...so this EFI update doesn't resolve anything for me.
    Thanks...!
    MacBook Pro • 2.33 • 120GB/5400RPM • 2GB Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Duo Mac Mini w/2GB Ram, 5g 60gb iPod...

    I had issues in 10.4.7 as well as 10.4.8.
    My problems occurred at the beginning of 10.4.8, then many users brought light to me using WEP, which was not working that great. I changed my connections to WPA2 and my problem has disappeared. If my problem didn't resolve the way it did, I would have mentioned it the next time I visited an apple store.
    The bottom line is that assumptions, complaining, and self diagnostics don't get many people very far and bringing the problem to apple helps them know the incidence of this problem, and helps them develop a reliable solution.
    Though some users have reported the "cold shoulder" when reporting Airport problems to apple... I hope you weren't one of them.

  • Impossible to move the wifi on/off button in settings, no more wifi

    Udated my i4s to iOS7 on 09.18 , wifi works perfectly until this morning.
    Suddenly it's gone, impossible to move the wifi on/off button in settings, no more wifi
    a) Tried this > http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    Result = DOESN'T WORK
    b) Tried this solution http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414,
    my i4S is virgin new, but the on/off button in settings is still not working = no wifi
    I'm really disapointed, and I WILL NOT BUY A NEW i5S, or an i5C.
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    This is a known issue and Apple is working to release a patch very soon.

  • IPhone 5 wifi issue. IOS 6.0.2 vs IOS 6.0.1

    Hi all,
    Just want to ask if IOS 6.0.2 is better than IOS 6.0.1?
    Recently, i noticed that my iphone 5 will disconnect the wifi connection after a while when not in use (standby / sleep mode_10 mins). When first bought, the phone was perfect.
    Sometimes it will auto sycn back to wifi and sometimes not. IOS 6.0.2 software update on my phone states that it will fix the wifi issue but also heard negative issue such as the battery drain its power source very fast.
    Will be very appreciate to hear some suggestions. Thanks and cheers to all!

    It's because your phone will pick up LTE and then it'll lose it. What you need to do is turn off the LTE (until the service is better, more available) and you won't go in and out of service.
    Go to Settings > General > Cellular > Enable LTE - OFF

  • But wait, there's more... more wifi problems = glad to have my nexus 7

    i work in a wifi zone.  who doesn't.  i used to use my ipad 2 (64gig wifi+3g iOS 6.0.1) all the time here to get things from dropbox or take notes with evernote, or to surf answers to questions posed in meetings.  wonderful tool.  then i updated the OS to 6...
    and now i can't use it for more than a couple of minutes before wifi quits working.
    i get the same spining wheel of death in the settings>wifi that others have complained about.
    i've started carrying my nexus 7 around with the ipad and without failing even a single time the nexus has never had an issue connecting while the ipad sits and spins its wheel of death. 
    and all this can be had for $1,000 with tax.  yea.
    at home my wifi connectivity is much better with the ipad, but still it's worse than it was before the 'update'.  further, if the nexus can connect i expect the 4 times more expensive, from the great minds at apple, ipad to be able to connect also. 
    guess i was wrong. 
    i don't get angry when computers can't do complex things that are relatively new, but wifi isn't new, and i get immensly hacked off when a company breaks a basic functionality of a devise and offers nary a word on a fix. 
    face it folks.  this is just another IT gadget made by just another computer company. 

    iOS 6.1 was just released today. Maybe there's a wifi fix.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Mountain Lion and Lion wifi issues

    Don't start on me about there being multiple threads on that subject already.  I was told by a very respected member of these forums to start my own thread on the issue.
    Dropping wifi started with Lion and for the last 10 months with ML.  I've been in touch with Apple, they called me after reading my old post and had me run test for them with no help.  I've done completely clean installs on newly reformatted hard drive and using a USB drive to install ML.  It won't connect to wifi to finish install half the time so other software isn't the issue.
    I've tried just about every fix posted.  A lot of them with Apple on the phone.  I've replaced my router knowing that wouldn't fix it because I take my Mac with me and it drops wifi on any router or network.
    I have 2 Macs and only one has ever had this issue.
    You don't have to believe I've tried everything, that I've had Apple call me or that I even have the issue.
    I've been asked to post the names of the engineers that have contacted me.  Why would you need to know that in order to believe me, especially if you admit to not knowing any. 
    All I want to know is there a fix?  Yes/No
    Remember it doesn't want to connect on a clean install.
    P.S.:
    For all those looking for reason's not to help me, my dog is yawning in the picture not growling.  Yes I've gotten mad on other threads but how many times can you be called a liar just because their fixes didn't work for me or I won't post engineers names. 

    Thanks for that list.
    Out of all you posted I tried everything with Apple on the phone. 
    I'm the only one who uses this Mac and I constantly check my settings incase something was changed on it's own because of some app.  But I'll lock it after retrying everything over again.
    I'll be glad to get it down to once every few days again. I haven't complaned about it in a long time because I could live with that.  That's where I was before it went back to dropping constantly. Lets face it once a day would be great.  I've had to reboot just trying to reply. 
    I've started taking some live on line courses so it's not just an announce to me.  It started again before I started classes.
    The 10.8.3 update made it worse.  But not enough to go back to 10.8.2. 
    My mail program is affected the worst.  When wifi drops and Mail is running I always have to force quit.  I know that's an affect no the cause.
    I do have another Genius Bar appointment for that and a couple of other issues.  The first time they denied there were any wifi issues until I gave them the names of the engineers that called me with their email addresses and phone numbers.  I've since lost their phone numbers but still have their email addresses.  I know one was a CA area code and the Main one was from TX.  I have emailed them this week but still no reply.
    Like I said once it went down to dropping every few days I didn't care any more.
    I'll keep you up to date.

  • Possible fix for some dlink routers with wifi issues

    I found something online that stated that if you turn off a feature  called WMM that it can help or fix some wifi issues, and on my dlink  dir-268 it seems to be working. Now without this feature turned off I  could connect to my wifi but not much else, with it off I have checked  websites online and also for the first time been able to download a  300MB+ file.  I dont know if it is still used on the newer dlink routers  but it could be at least a temp fix for some.  For my router it is located under the advanced/ advanced wireless settings
    Please post your results if you find this feature on your router, and list what model you have and if it worked so if it fixes problems for enough people mabe we can let dlink know of this find. could help in getting a fix out for the router firm ware or mabe even the android os.

    Wouldn't really be a fix... more a workaround. However...
    Both my Plus account, and a free test account I set up, don't have reliable push... so I think the problem is a little more complex than this.
    While there has been a theory that free accounts work (which I have not experienced), I don't think Apple or Yahoo have ever stated that push was only intended to work for free accounts...

  • Wifi issues after Android 4.4.2 update (specifically WEP issue with 2.4GHz router)

    I have an old Westell 2.4Ghz Wifi router which is using 128-bit WEP security (13 character password). 
    When I bought my HTC One it came with Android 4.2.2 and could not connect to my home Wifi.  After rebooting, changing passwords, using 2.4GHz network freq on the phone, and trying the mystical power-down, volume-down, special-screen trick ... nothing worked. However, Verizon was kind enough to extend my data plan for free so I could download the massive 4.3 update over 4G network.  Android 4.3 fixed my WEP / Wifi issue.
    Early this morning (Feb 18, 2014), Android 4.4.2 was downloaded and installed on my HTC One.  Guess what?  No wifi connection after restarting the phone, rebooting the wifi, etc.  Isn't that nice? 
    Android developers, I plead for your mercy.  Please stop making x.x.2 releases!
    And also, please fix the WEP issue in 4.4.3.

    Upgrade == $$$
    No thanks.  I'll spend my money on more important things, like little gifts for my wife.
    I have several devices connected to my home WiFi that work just fine (printer, laptops, flat-screen tv, etc).  It is just these Android 4.4.2 devices that fail (yes, I have two HTC One phones, both with the same problem).
    Reading the posts on forums.androidcentral.com , it looks like lots of folks are having the same issue.

  • Ipad 2 wifi issues

    Hi
    I'm having problems with the wifi on my ipad 2, for the ipad to connect to the router i have to place it directly next to my router and it will connect with no problems but trying to connect to the router more then 1 metre away from the router the ipad doesn't find the router at all. This being my first ipad I just thought it was the way they are only for my brother to bring his ipad 1 to my house his ipad not only connects instantly to my router from anywhere in the house but also finds another 5 wifi connections. If I was to use my ipad upstairs in the room directly above the router it will stay connected for about 5 minutes and loses connection and I have to go down stairs and place the ipad2 next to the router for it to connect again where as my brother slept in the bedroom furthest away from the router and found the router and connected straight away and stays connected!
    Is there something different in the way the ipad2 has been built or do you think I have a problem with my ipad?
    I would appreciate your thoughts and comments.
    Thanks

  • Dear APPLE, What's Really GOING ON?!?!?! (wifi issues)

    Dear appl
    I'm in a WiFi trouble here!! actually Troubles with WiFi on my iPad
    * my wifi connects on every wireless network fine BUT:
    1- my wifi works in every network EXCEPT my MiFi Novatel It disconnects after 5 / 10 mins sometimes hour, I have to reset the password, and when I change the ipad handling and flip it in different angles it connects back !!!!
    2- My iPad, even with the networks that doesnt disconnect, not like the my MiFi Novatel, sometimes like when I wait for pictures to load on website, they (the pics) get stuck a little bit and doesnt load UNTIL I FLIP THE IPAD , I change the handling, sometimes even websites dont open until I change the handling!!
    I also Updated yesterday my iPad to 3.2.2 , and NO, It doesnt solve the problem!
    What's going on here? Is there a technical issue ? or something like that ? and when I went to the iCity official store in my country, the supporter talked to me like I'm lying or I'm a (NOOB)! he says No no no it works fine ( he didnt even see the ipad, and I think he never heard of the iPad wifi issues at all that even Apple official web admitted ) and he says that my problem is with the settings of my MiFi, Well ok ! I hope so! But HELP? and BTW , I have tried changing the pass encryption to WEP WPA and all with my MiFi Novatel, didnt work !
    I'm in alot of trouble, Spent more than 500$ over a Disconnecting constantly tablet and even with good wireless networks lets say my mifi ***** but other networks sometimes I have to flip it to load webs, hello, The iPad is AWWWWESOME! but I seriously cant take this ?????
    Help !
    1- mifi solutions ?
    2- whats with the flip sometimes to get the connection Speeder / or get it back If I'm using the MiFi?

    I had what sounds like a very similar issues and figured out fix.
    On your router, try setting the encryption to wpa. There is an option for Auto that switches between AES and TKIP. Choose AES only.
    Choose Forget on the iPad or iPhone (or both, depending on which you have). You will also find that you will have to delete the network on your home computer and other devices that access it as the new encryption settings won't match the new router settings. You will be prompted for the password. After weeks of grief, this managed to work for me. Hope it does for you too. I was about to do he discus toss with my iPad before I got here!

  • Where is the FAQ for E7 Belle wifi issue?

    Where is the FAQ for E7 Belle wifi issue?
    Feb post with AAS site co-writer
    David
    Former Psion 3a-5-5mx & Psion netbook (Symbian) user who had an E63, E71
    Now an E7 casualty remembering the 8 replacement Nokia Orange (or was that Lemon?) 2140's I had in 1996...

    For atleast me, the problem is nothing like that.
    On a newly rebooted E7, WiFi is working fine. After some time (sometimes hours, sometimes a couple of days), WiFi stops working. It still works from all other devices. Rebooting the E7 makes it work again. It is clearly a problem within the E7, and it don't have anything to do with the upgrade to Belle. Neither does turning WiFi off and on help.
    If I go to the WiFi list, where it shows which networks are visible, my "known" networks are visible, and marked as known. Tapping on it, it shows, briefly, for a second or so "connecting" and then it goes back to disconnected again. In short, it totally fails to make a connection anymore. After a reboot, it is fine again.
    Something causes it to get of of sync, and that's it.
    I'd be happy to help Nokia with more details and troubleshooting of this, since I have some fair ideas on how to reproduce it on my phone.
    And yes, I have tried reinstalling several times. That does not help. Same with deleting the access point and reentering it.
    Feel free to contact me...

  • T430s Wifi issues continue

    I have seen the numerous other trheads on this issue. My t430s still has wifi issues, waking from sleep will not connect, oftne times taking 10 or more minutes or requiring a restart to simply connect. My 6 year old ThinkPad is on the same network with no issues. Not much productivity for this laptop. 
    Windows 8, Ultimate Wifi card option, Disabled "Turn off device to save power". 
    Seem slike this is a hardware issue with defective devices. Are there any solution or should I make a waranty claim?

    Try uninstalling the intel Amt (? ) management driver in the control panel. 

  • Iphone 4S wifi issues 7.0.4

    hey guys
    IPHONE 4S - Help needed
    first post on here as im at the end of my tether with this phone.  So after installing IOS 7.0.3 i had no issues untill about 2 weeks in wifi started dropping out intermitently, at home, and office. i took no notice.
    once i actually needed to use the Wifi about a week later is when i noticed Wifi was off and i couldnt connect.
    so after forgetting the home network and trying to re-connect i kept getting 'Unable to connect' or the network purely wouldnt show.
    so i wiped the phone to backup > issue didnt fix
    i secondly wiped the phone  to fresh > issue didnt fix...
    IOS 7.0.4 released > Install to backup > issue didnt fix
    booked into genuis bar ...
    they performed diagnostics > all clear
    they wiped phone to IOS 7.0.4 > Hey presto , worked like a treat .... but wait
    now 2 days later (sunday , phone got fixed on friday)
    Issue returned. Thought maybe the music or pictures or apps i reinstalled off the mac were corrupt and brought the issue back (unlikely)
    another fresh install to IOS 7.0.4 (this time, new playlist and no pics for the phone)
    Minimal apps reinstalled
    (ISSUE NOT FIXED) !!!!
    im getting so annoyed. the Home network keeps coming and going....
    anyone got any ideas. (i know its not the broadband as i have many other things hooked up to it and all work perfect, i.e. Tv, Mac, Ipad, Apple TV etc)

    ChrisJ4203, thanks very much for your input.  I don't mean to turn this post into an endless debate, but frankly I am still having a hard time believing that the WiFi died as a result of a hardware failure.
    My logic might be flawed, but here it is:
    While the iPhone 4S got very hot when wirelessly downloading and installing iOS 7.0.4 over the WiFi network, the WiFi chip and antenna had to be functional to complete the wireless iOS update.  Apple was very clear that iOS 7.0.4 is too large to download and install via cellular service.  Accordingly it would appear that any hardware failure had to occur in the few minutes between the download/installation of iOS 7.0.4 and its first use.  That window of opportunity is incredibly small in an otherwise flawless hardware performance.  I am not a big believer in long shot coincidences, so a WiFi hardware malfunction seems highly improbable to me, but not impossible.  A firmware/iOS conflict still seems more plausible to me.
    I also don't read much into Apple's "out-of-warranty" replacement offer at $199.  AT&T tells me that anyone walking in off the street (with or without a hardware or iOS malfunction) would receive the same offer.
    I appreciate that some iPhone 4S users did not experience any WiFi issues when they updated to iOS 7.0.4, but such difference could easily be explained if Apple used more than one WiFi chip and/or firmware in the iPhone 4S series.  Such an explanation would also account for iOS 7.0.4 (and 7.0.6) not recognizing the WiFi chip after the iOS update.
    Still perplexed, but thanks again for your kind efforts to help.
    Wonder if I can limp along long enough to spend my money on an Apple iPhone 6 ... but then again I don't want to be anyone's beta-tester.
    I am tempted to switch to a Samsung Galaxy or some other smartphone as long as I will be buying new accessories, but frankly I don't want to waste my time learning a new OS or core apps.

  • Note 3 having Wifi issues

    Hi all,
    I have been having awful Wifi issues with my Note 3, and I've been reading similar reports elsewhere on the web. My bed is less than ten feet from my Wifi router, and yet I regularly get the "connection is unstable" notification and it drops.
    I am just a few days outside of the 14 day return period. Is there any way I can swap to a phone with more reliable connectivity?
    Thanks!

        We appreciate the additional details relating to your device Pfhortune! The next best step would be to complete a hard reset on the device to restore the settings back to the manufacturer recommended functionality. Please keep us posted once this is completed, thanks!

  • IOS8.1 WiFi issues persist

    Does anyone see WiFi issues like slowness, poor signal strength even while you are near the router? I see these issues with iPhone 5s iOS8.1 update. The problem has been since iOS8 but had never seen this in iOS7.1.2. Looks like some serious issue here.
    Sometimes WiFi works in office but at home it just doesn't work. On the home network i have my laptop and other iphone 4s which work perfectly fine though. So looks like a iOS 8.x issue for iPhone 5s.
    Apple why dont you fix is right when you say "resolves WiFi performance issues on iphones with some base stations". Do a RCA please and fix this as my phone is unusable at home network.

    I think I am going to sell all Pads and iPhones to move to android. This is ridiculous. Wifi is still the same issue slow, Safari still freezing sometimes. the problems still have not gotten fixed. Wasting so much time and money to spend on these Apple products and don't get the service the way is supposed to be. 3 dam failure continuous updates creating more bugs and glitches, wifi issue getting worse. I feel like apple stealing people money and run away by providing an awful service. If the iOS 8 is not ready don't release, don't just release and destroy people money and time. We spent thousand of $ for your product lol. Don't except anymore update from Apple lol
