My ipad2 has lost wifi connectivity at adistance while all other devices connect to new wifi.
After getting new wifi network, my ipad2 loses connectivity unless it is right beside the router. All other devices have good wireless connectivity.
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

My Ipad 1, for no apparent reason, no longer connects to the Internet. Our home wireless connection is working for all other devices.Any clues?
You can also try to reset your network settings on the iPad. Go to Setings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
Good Luck! -
My imac (2 yrs old) will not connect to my home wifi with the exception of my ISP hotspot. All other devices are fine (iphone, ipad etc). I have changed my ISP recently and this issue has never happened before. I am with my current ISP for about 7 weeks and this was not an issue for the first 2/3 weeks. Went through the usual set up procedures but alas...nothing. Message states unable to join network! Don't think it is an ISP issue as all other devices work perfect...or is it? As I said It did work at the start, but no longer. I recently moved to NJ from Ireland, so my imac is a European model (don't think that makes a difference?) I can only presume it is the settings on the imac. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx
Hi - out of action for a few days. To answer your questions:
- and click on Advanced and make sure everything is correct - all in order
- Also check on your router's website to make sure the iMac is recognized there - it IS NOT recognized here as other devices are
- do you by chance have your router set up to do Mac filtering? - i don't know..how do I check?
Thx -
Hello. My I phone 5 will no longer connect to my home wi-Fi unless very close to the router. No problems in the past. All other devices find & select wi Fi no problem. Any advice would be appreciated.
What you described sounds like a part of the iPod antenna system which looks like a gold ribbon. I don't recommend that you try to effect any repairs yourself. You would be best off taking it to Apple where you may be able to exchange it for an alike model. The price is 99USD for all 4th gen models, except the 64gb which will cost 199USD.

IMac cannot connect to internet, but all other devices can?
Ok So I have an iMac, two iphones, and a mac book air in the house. The mac book and iphones can connect to my chinese tp-link router, and connect to the internet wirelessly just fine. The iMac however, everytime I tried to connect to the internet via the Wi-Fi signal through the tp-link router, the wifi signal on the very top right hand corner of the screen has an exclamation mark on the wifi bar, and it says Alert: No Internet Connection. The ethernet works fine connected directly to the iMac, and I can access internet via ethernet wire setting, but not wifi-setting from my tp-link router.
What I've narrowed it down to:
It is not the problem with the router, because it is configured so that every device I've tried, except for the iMac works with the router.
It is not the problem with my internet connect, because all other devices works, except for iMac.
It is not the problem with my internet card on the iMac, because I was able to connect with an airport extreme about two weeks ago via wirelessly.
It is not the hardware problem, like I said, ethernet socket, internet card, they all work.
It has nothing to do with the software update, the software is up to date, running on Mac OS X, Version 10.7.2 lion.
It has to be a software issue, something to do with the configuration of the network.
I've already looked everywhere on the apple discussions, I found similar problems, but they were either unresolved, or unrelated to my problem. So what did I mess up on?
Best
BrianHi everyone
I have the exact same problem! My imac, operating with 10.7.2 will not connect and has the ! over wifi icon. (sadly connecting the ethernet cable and disconnecting again didn't work for me).
My MacBook is running with os 10.6.8 and works with the router although now I can't update the operating system or I'll have the same probs with Macbook!
So, I've spent most of this week back and forth with apple support, TP-Link and ISP. (all firmware for router completely updated) and nothing's worked.
I have been told by an apple senior technician that the TP-LINK router is not compatible with computers operating with os10.7.2 and I need a different router.
Just thought I should let everyone know to save you wasting loads of money on phone calls like I just did!
take care -

I can not connect to server when all other devices in house can
Why can't I connect my iPad to the server when all other devices can?
You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc. -

Guidelines on connecting a MacBook Pro to a TP-Link router? All other devices connect except this.
Hi
I've set up a new TP-Link router and range extender. I can connect with all of my other devices but not my MacBook Pro, which is the main device I like to use in the house. Can anyone give me guidelines please? There seems to be a problem with the IP. The TP guidelines advise to set automatically but this doesn't seem to be an option. It's so frustrating! I've gone back to my old Belkin but it seems such a waste as I can't get a refund on the new products.
Thanks.The iMac connects to the router AP with no problem, but not the nano router when it is set to AP.
I can't figure out what this means. -
What can i do to fix it? My husband suggests I reset my phone but I'm afraid my data will be wiped off an that would be of total waste if the problem doesn't even get solved. Your help would be much appreciated!
There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPhone that has not been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store). If you have jailbroken it, you have exposed yourself to malware, and should restore the phone to factory defaults, without restoring a backup. All data will be lost, but that is unavoidable.
Most likely, you haven't jailbroken it, in which case you don't have to worry about malware. In that case, it's hard to say what's going on, but there are some things you can try.
First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced. -
