My iPhone 3GS no longer connects to home network but connects to others

I recently moved my router into another room and when I did, I messed it up big time. I fixed it and now the internet does work, BUT my iphone will not connect wirelessly to it. The network shows up on the phone, asks for a passcode and I input the pass and it it's right. It doesn't say it's wrong but it doesn't connect. This is making me mad because I can't be using my carrier's network, 200 MB can go quick when you download music or websites all the time. I'm almost over now, and I can't use my phone while home for internet until our next billing cycle.
SUM UP: Phone won't connect to wireless router anymore.

Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone. Tried it on 'one color ID' but it didn't work so I did it on all 'color IDs' and left it on reset mode when it 'accidentally' was picked up by my 3GS while searching!!! Found 'headset' and then recognised it as HCB-100. One happy guy for the holidays!!!

Connected to home network, but cannot access internet on ipad

I have got strong signal on home network but cannot access the internet. Tried resets, etc

It could be a simple problem that needs a reset for the related devices. Other than that, try to control the security settings and passwords of your home network. You might be using WEP password protocol to connect your home network. Try to use WPA protocol instead of WEP. Maybe it will help to solve your problem.

IPad Mini connected to home network but still not connecting to internet.

Hi. I have a friend staying and she has an iPad mini. while all other Mac devises are connected to our home internet, her one will not. I have set the network details on her mini using the static ip option and get the blue tick beside our network name. However, we are still not connected to the wifi network. All our Mac devises are connected and her husband's iPad and iPhone are working fine. Help

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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Wifi can't connect to home network but can to school network and via ethernet

My MBP cannot connect to any of my home networks (we have three, same ISP but not the same security) but it can connect to my unsecured school network and to my home network via ethernet cable. Other devices can connect to the network, including my iPhone, my fathers machines... etc.
I spent an hour on the phone with apple care and tried a large variety of things...
Changing my DNS settings to add 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
deleting the .plist settings in my system config folder
running diagnostics 500 times
restarting
reinstalling mt.lion (without wipe)
restarting the router
and a lot more.
Basically, it says I have full internet access and diagnostics tells me there is nothing wrong. Green light and everything but not a single program can connect to the internet while I can connect to home based servers.
I cannot ping anything and I cannot access any websites using either their IP or their domain name.
Needless to say, this has been getting quite frusterating and I'm running out of ideas.

Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results.

New phone won't connect to home network, works fine on other networks.

I have a new 5s and it will not connect to my home wireless network. It connects fine to other networks. I have tried resetting network connections, resetting the router and all other things I can think of.
My wife also has a 5s that connects fine and all of our other  devices connect fine.
Here's the rundown:
my 5s with 7.0.2 does not connect at home
wife's 5s with 7.0.0 connects at home
ipad 3 with 7.0.0 connects at home
ipad mini with 6.0 connects at home
Anyone have any idea what's going on?

There must be a problem with the radio software or hardware. I have spent the last six hours trying various things with two brand new iPhone 5Cs. All of the other WiFi equipment in my home is fine, as were my two old iPhone 3GSs; just upgraded (or is it downgraded?) Saturday. Even a totally erased and new set-up has the same problem. The Genius Bar folks gave me a new phone today, and it has the same problem. I am NOT HAPPY.
I can connect reliably to WiFi with NO SECURITY settings (I typically use WPA2 and TKIP/AES). You are not alone, and Apple has a problem; see all of the other complaints about dropped WiFi, no connect to WiFi, etc. Please call Support and complain - they don't monitor these communities much.

IChat audio and visual won't connect on my home network, but will on others

Hi there,
So here's my problem: When I try to connect via audio or video with iChat 5.0.3 it returns and error saying iChat can't connect. Text chatting works just fine. It only does this on my home network; I can take it work and connect to work's network and iChat functions just fine. My wife also has a mac using snow leopard and her iChat doesn't work either. We can connect to each other on our home network and use audio and video chat, but just can't connect to other networks. I'm using ATT&T U-verse and their 2wire modem/wireless router (model 3600hgv) that came with it, along with an airport extreme.
After carefully studying the other posts about iChat, I disconnected the airport and just used the 2wire, modifying the port settings as per the port forward website. I realized that the airport could have been using DHCP in addition to the 2wire, that's why I disconnected it. After doing these things, iChat still doesn't work. I'm not sure where to go from here.
Any help would be VERY much appreciated

Hi,
Nice info.
Does the 2WIre device you have include having UPnP ?
Different manufactures put it in different places so it could be anywhere in the set up pages.
If not does it have Port Triggering (Special Applications) ?
You will need to use this as you want to use two computers with the same ports.
This needs a different set up to Port Forwarding.
Alternatively put the 2Wire in DMZ (This opens all the ports to one IP)
List the IP the Airport device gets.
(It would be better yet if the DHCP was turned Off - the Airport would then need to be set up for Static routing (Manually) to keep the same IP)
This is the closet number to your model
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/2wire/3800HGV-B/iChat.htm
Did you set all the ports ? (These are the iChat 3 set but cover all the ones iChat 4 and 5 use)
Did you do the bit at the bottom ? (move the items to the right hand list that you want to use - listing both computers at the text field that reads "JoannasDell" (one at a time if it allows two computers by this method)

Can't connect to wireless network but connects if I move it 1 meter

Hi all,
I've had my 27" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo for over 3 months now with no issues, but suddenly over the weekend I can no longer connect to my network.
Sometimes I can see my network listed (but the signal is now very weak when it used to be very strong) and when I try to connect I get a "Connection Timeout" error. Othertimes I can't even see my network.
If I move my whole mac about 1 meter "closer" to the router (it sits downstairs, my mac upstairs) it connects fine. But as soon as I put it back on my desk, where it has been sitting for the past 3 months, the connection drops out or it can't find the network. (I can't leave it "closer" to the router, as that would mean I'm sitting on the floor right in my room doorway...)
All other PC's, laptops, my MacBook and iPhone all connect fine. In the MacBooks case, it connects fine in exactly the same spot as where my mac had been sitting for the past 3 months.
I'm using a Belkin N150 wireless router which is supposed to have a range of 300m (my house is definitely not that big!) and using a WPA2 Personal password security setting. As I said above, no issue before this past weekend (same router, same settings).
I have tried the following:
- restarting router, modem, computer (in various orders) to no avail
- deleting the system configuration folder, re-starting, etc.
Just wondering if there's something I'm missing? Or whether or not it's to do with the wider issue of connecting that people seem to have? I thought it may be different since I can connect if it sits somewhere else...
Any help wold be appreciated since my support has run out!
Thanks in advance!

Yeah I've tried moving it but unfortunately I'm a bit constrained as to how far I can move it (aprox 20cms each way). There are lots of ethernet cables plugged in and they all run behind what is, a very solid, very big desk/shelving thing.
However, the position of the router hasn't changed in the past 3 months.
I've also tried disconnecting the cordless phone which sits in the same room and moving any extra cables around the router to no avail. But none of these things are new either.

Ipad wifi not connecting to my network but does to others

Cannot get my ipad to connect to my network. I have two Ipads and one does and the other will not. Did a complete restore and the same. I even tried taking the password off of my network and seeing if it would connect with it open and the same result. Lost big time on this one. Help!!

I had the same issue. I reset the network settings via General/Reset network settings

Airport no longer connects to known network, but connects to others?

I have been successfully connecting to my school wireless network for several days, as well as my home, and other random coffee nets. I tried to connect a few days ago and it beachballs, and then aborts. My question is, is there a way to reset the internal airport settings? I've tried a PRAM reset, I've tried power management, is there any other tips? The airport seems to connect perfectly fine to other networks, and I've seen other students connect perfectly fine. Any tips? THANKS

anyone???

IPad cannot connect to 3G Network, but connects. Fine to grps

Hello,
I operate my iPad with postapid 3G Data Plans in Germany and Singapore AND until last Week had fast AND reliable connections on. Singtel and O2.
Since this Week, my iPad only connects to grps (Small circle Next to carrier Name ) and not to 3G anymore, althomugh strong 3G Network is available AND My iPhone connects to 3G without Problems.
The Micro SIM i use Works for 3G in Otter Devices. My iPad Runs The newest Carrier settings And The latetst Software.
Any ideas Gould Be greatly appreciated ! Thanks

thanks a lot for your answer ! i tried this many times and of course had very good reception: the same micro Sim in my iphone 4 got beautiful full 3G, while my ipad only ever got GPRS.
I finally even restored the ipad and then had for a very brief time the 3G symbol appearing just to vanish again. I brought it to Apple service center in Singapore and they immediately exchanged it for new one.
Seems I had a bad unit.
cheers

I have the exact same problem. And my wife's iphone 5 also has the same problem. Anyone knows the resolution? It worked fine before we restored both phones. Thanks.

My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air, nor my BMW X3. Is this fixable?

IPhone 3GS no longer works with bluetooth since ios 4.3.2 update

Hi all. Since the ios 4.3.2 update my iPhone 3GS no longer works correctly with the bluetooth in my car (2006 Acura TL). I know it's not an issue with the car and the only thing that has changed is the update with the phone. Anybody else having this issue? I have unpaired, tried to re-pair, reset the network settings, reset all of the settings, and did a restore. I'm at a loss with what to do next.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Its becoming a problem of epic proportions...so many people are having the exact same problem...I have a Feb 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser Series 200 and since upgrading to OS 4 my USB function no longer works like it did before the upgrade.
My Apple has become a LEMON!!
Would be nice to hear that Apple recognises there is a problem...buut maybe they are too busy counting all their money to care!!

Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook Calendar and Outlook Contacts. I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device. Any ideas, anyone?

Since installing iCloud, my iPhone 3GS no longer syncs with my Outlook2010 Calendar and Outlook2010 Contacts. I don't know what else to try, short of resetting the iPhone and completely reloading as a new device. Any ideas, anyone?

It's good to know. The Apple instructions for loading iCloud on a PC just seem to have either overlooked or hidden this limit. The larger problem is that it partially works: partially and erratically. So clean-up is great fun.
