Which means exactly what? One iPad can connect intermittently and one doesn't connect at all? This makes it sound to me like you are having WiFi issues with both of them. At least that's how I interpret your statement.
Start by rebooting your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Wifi problems. I am using my ipad connected to a secure server. I keep having connection problems. My ipad shows I am connected, but I can't use the internet at all. I keep getting a not connected message. Help

I am using my ipad on a secure network. I have problems staying connected. It shows I'm connected with full bars but I can't use the internet. I turn the wireless off, reset the network and turned off the ipad, but this problem keeps happening. (Its been going on about 2 weeks) Any ideas?

Sayingyou went through all the steps of fixing provides us with little information see we do not know what step you tried.
- Have you reset your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Powered off and then back on your router?
- The troubleshooting here:
iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections-
- Configuring your router to use no encryption as a test. If OK, the try a simple password.

My ipod touch says that i am connected to my home wifi connection but i can't use the internet. what should i do?

i have an ipod touch and i have gone into my settings and connected to my home wifi. but the little bars that are supposed to come up in the top left hand corner do not appear and i cannot connect to the internet. is it my ipod? or should i look at my home wifi?

One way to isolate the problem would be to try your iPod on some other networks (Starbucks, Borders, Library, Apple store, etc.) If it does not work in those places you likely have a problem with your iPod otherwise it's likely a problem with your network.
Please provide some details on your router make/model, security type being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), any MAC address filtering configured and whether you are using static IPs or DHCP.

HT204135 My computer is connected to my Epson printer but for some reason it will not print, it has a wifi connection but is not connecting for some reason, what can I do to resolve this matter?.

My printer is not connecting with my computer via Wi-Fi, want can I do to fix this problem?.

Exactly what is going on with my Epson XP 810. I will reset my modem and it will print one or two pages and then say "Searching for printer" and it will never find it unless I reset the modem. Was working fine last week so I don't know what changed.

I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

Thank you very much for your insight; I guess I had assummed that iPads/iPhones/iPods were here in Brazil and further assumed that the iTunes store would also be available.

The Help page you came here from gives you all the information; without the previous owner's password or his removing the phone from his list of devices you cannot proceed and I'm afraid your phone is useless.

Other macs are connecting to the wireless no problem. mine finds the wireless and connects, but I can't browse the internet at all.

I am a teacher. My Macbook has had no problem all year long connecting to the school's wireless until yesterday. My computer tells me I am connected, but does not let me use the internet at all.
Things I've tried:
- Restarting
- Running Network Diagnostics (I get to the point where it says my internet appears to be working correctly... but it's not)
- Pinging websites like Google (no success)
- Checking to see that other people's Macbooks are connecting, no problem (they are)
- Checking to see if a browser other than Safari works (Firefox does not)
At home, my computer works fine. But at school (work), I've got nothing. Weirder still, in my Mac Mail, I have my Gmail and my school email set up. The school email (i.e. the local network) is coming through to Mac Mail and working normally, but my Gmail is not working, just like the internet.
Any thoughts about what to try next?

Ipad has wifi connection but will not download

Hi, I'm having an issue with my Ipad 2 iOS 7.1.2, it only started happening last night. IPad can see and is joined to wifi but will not download or send anything. Always times out after spinning wheel.
Have tried connecting to and joined, various wifi routers in other houses. So know it's not the router. Still no Download or send.
Have done a hard reset.
Have reset the network settings.
Any other suggestions. I'm at a bit of a loss.
Oh and the iPad is away from my mac so can not reinstall or restore.

Howdy PJRS,
It sounds like you are unable to access the internet on your iPad, but you are indeed connected to a Wi-Fi network. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article to help you get that resolved:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap .
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Wifi connected but can not open safari or you tubes

Hi please please help! Have got my new ipod touch for xmas and have connected it to my wireless router (the little wifi icon is showing as "on" on the screen) but when i try to connect to safari it says can not find server. I see that lots of people have had this problem but none of the answers I have seen so far work for me.
So, when I click on to the blue triangle next to wifi do I need to go to DHCP, BootIP or Static? There automatically appears an IP address and subnet Mask under DHCP but these are not the same as my pc. Which do I use?
Many thanks

Hi, not sure what MAC address is? I have an IP address for the wifi but it is not the same one that comes up automatically on the ipod DHCP setting, the one on the ipod is 169.254.1.12, it has a subnet mask setting of 255.255.0.0 and that is all´. My router begins with 192. Can you advise with this? Thanks

Computer recognizes a wifi connection but does not connect to it?

I Was in Moscow, and only using secure connections but now (away from Russia), still can't get to the internet.
I See the wifi access points but the computer doesn't connect to them.
Ideas?

Hello Peter Kertesz,
It sounds like you are able to see the Wi-Fi connection you want to use, but cannot connect to it. I would use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue. There is a lot of information in there, but stick with it and it should lead you to a resolution:

Wi-fi is connected, but I can't acess the internet.

Good Morning Fellows,
I'm having problems when I try to use the wi-fi.
I used to connect to my home wi-fi and it worked properly since I bought the IPhone (Apr of 2012).
Suddenly, it stops to work. All devices of my family still working, like my Ipad, my wife Iphone, my son Iphone, but, only my Iphone shows that I'm connected to the wi-fi router and the safari, youtube, et cetera cannot acess the internet.
I tried to reset the networking settings and I'm still having the same problem.
I tried to restore the Iphone software, but it didn't work.
The 3G is working normally.
Could be a hardware problem?
It is a 4S Iphone.
Help Me Please.
Charles.

WRT54GS v7: Claims to have connection, but I can't access the internet wired or wireless.

Hello. I recently moved in with another family member, and he already had a linksys router (this one a WRT54G v5) but after our internet speed crashed from around 300 kb/s all the way to 12 kb/s, I knew somethin was up, and I blamed it on his router, which had been kinda "iffy" in the past. So, since I had brought my router (the WRT54GS v7) I decided to take a crack at i installing it. I restored it to factory defaults and ran the CD, as if this router had never been used. Everything went fine, until trying to connect to the internet... It just wouldn't work, even though ALL the indicator lights were lit (on both the router and modem. The modem is a DSL modem, and the model is: Westell C90-610015-06. ISP is Verizon.) Upon browsing the forums here, I found someone with a similiar issue, except they were using a cable modem. Here is the fix that was posted by a user named toomanydonuts: "Your TM502G modem appears to be a standard cable modem (i.e. it is not a modem-router). Therefore your WRT54GS should work at its factory default settings. You need to reset the router to factory defaults. To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure: 1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall. 2) Disconnect all wires from the router. 3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes). 4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes). 5) Power down the router. 6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port). 7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes). 8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off). 9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router. 10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser. If you get this far without problems, power down the router. Using an ethernet cable, connect the ethernet port on your modem to the "Internet" port on the WRT54GS. Power up the modem and allow it to fully boot (1-5 minutes). Power up the WRT54GS and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes). Power up your computer. Now try to connect to the Internet. If you still have trouble, in your computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall. If you still have trouble, verify that your ethernet card is set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain a DNS address automatically". After you get the router working, you can go back into the router and manually adjust the settings, if needed. If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead. If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1. If you need additional help, please state your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back. Please let me know how things turn out for you." So, I tried that. All of it. Including disabling the firewall. Now, the IP address and DNS servers bein retrieved automatically thing I'm a lil sketchy on, simply because I'm not exactly sure how to change that.... What I did also try doing, on top of the above resolution, was to have the WRT54GS clone my PC's MAC address, then restart the router, modem, and computer. This one actually got me excited as the Internet lights blinked a few times, but then still nothing -_- So...is my router dead perhaps? Cuz to be honest, I'm completely open to buying a new router, if needed. Help?

You only have to clone your mac when using certain cable modem. You don't clone your mac when using dsl.
