MY MAC WONT CONNECT TO MY WIFI BUT WILL CONNECT TO OTHERS

My imac wont connect to my wifi but will connect to the person downstairs from me. it works once and a while but never for more then a few mins...could it have something to do with the router?

Hello Trey,
Without knowing anything about your WiFI system, my opinion is that your wifi signal is either, weaker than your downstairs neighbor, or more likely, your wi fi system is suffering from interference.  The first thing you should do is change the channel it is operating on.  See if that helps.  
I tend to think it is not the router, but can only offer a guess, since you did not describe your system.

  • My iPad wont sync to my computer but will sync to other computers.

    Like the title says, my iPad wont sync to my computer but will sync to my bother's mac and my windows laptop.

    First off, an iPad is designed to sync with only one computer. Syncing with a second computer erases everything synced from the first computer.
    What exactly are you trying to accomplish? What happens when you try and what, if any, error messages do you receive? Do you have iTunes 11.1 or later on the computer you want to sync with?

  • My mac wont connect to the wifi network but all other devices are working fine! Please can you help

    My Mac wont connect to my WiFi.  It can see the network but has an "!" over the WiFi signal. My iPhone and Surface connect fine.  My Mac was working fine yesterday.  I've restarted the rooter, the Mac and still not luck.  I've changed the WiFi channel, removed and re-added the WiFi network, but I still can't connect. Please can someone help.... thank you !

    Power Cycle
    Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
    Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.
    Start up in Safe Mode.

    Since you have already isolated it down to your home network, if following Steve's instructions do not fix your issue, contact your Internet Service Provider or Router Manufacturer and make sure your network is set up according to this information: iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

  • TS1398 my phone when connected to wifi wont download apps and internet but will when using 3G

    my iphone wont download my apps or internet when using wifi but will with 3G

    If you do not use cellular data then you can't be charged for something you don't use. You could turn airplane mode on and then turn wifi back on when you have wifi available and you want to send pics if you are paranoid

  • Hi i cant access to my house wifi but to all the others wifiS I can connect. I have restarted my iPhone and my home wifi. What should I do?

    Hi i cant access to my house wifi but to all the others wifiS I can connect. I have restarted my iPhone and my home wifi. What should I do?

    What make, model, and version WiFi router do you have?
    Is the router firmware up to date?
    What type of security is it running? WEP, WPA, WPA2 (WPA2 is recommended, WEP is completely insecure)
    Do you have MAC address filtering turned ON? If so, have you added your iPhone MAC address to the permitted list in your router?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. 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.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    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
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    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.

  • My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

    try this.
    get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
    you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
    on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
    see if that sorts it out for you.
    good luck.

    Hi LandJ1980,
    I would recommend first trying these steps:

    If that does not work, this article has some additional ideas to try, even though you are only seeing this with the App Store:

  • HT4528 My iphone 4s is connected to my wifi but will not connect to internet

    My Iphone 4S is connected to my wifi but will not connect to the internet.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Try going to settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Once you've reset your network settings you will need to be able to plug in your wifi/router password to your wifi appliance. (password to wifi router)
    Good luck.

  • 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.

    That's not the way wifi works.
    You may see the other networks but you are not connected to them in any way.

  • My ipad receives email with the hotel wifi but will not send.  The error message is "user name or password for ........is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged.  Restarting iPad didnt help.

    My iPad receives email on the hotel wifi but will not send.  The error message reads "user name or password for smpt......is incorrect" but both are correct and unchanged.  Restarting iPad did not help.

    I did try this too, but when I access my webmail on the iPad, the iPad doesn't allow me to type my message.  I am able to enter in the "to" address and the "subject" line, but then the keyboard will not come up for me to type my message.  Is there some trick to this?  Very frustrating!
