My macbook doesnt not find my home network.
My macbook doesnt not find my home network. It finds the surrounding networks but not my home network. My ipod touch and iphone uses the home network and another computer in the house. My home network does not appear in the wifi drop list and when I search via network preferences it doesnt help even though i am using the correct password. Every once in a while it will find the network more thats the exception.
Turn the router and modem off then back on.
I don't have iStubmler downloaded but someone told me that it can do a better job of picking up network signals. So you might try downloading it, but I can't say that I know it will help.

IPhone 4 will not find my home network
I bought an iPhone 4 two weeks ago and I still cannot get it to detect my wireless home network.
I use a Time Capsule as my router, which is plugged directly into my modem via ethernet.
My Macbook can find my network/TC fine, and has done since I bought it.
My wireless settings are 802.11n only (5GHz) with wireless security set to WPA2 Personal.
I tried changing my settings and found that the only one that worked at connecting my iPhone was 802.11n(802.11b/g compatible), but it caused serious problems.
The connection between my TC and Macbook was severely reduced, and it could not detect my TC in Airport Utility, so it would not run the Time Machine back-up, and I was unable to get access to the settings to change them back.
I had to do a full reset on my TC(power down, hold reset button in and power on again) about six times before I could get it all working properly again and get access to the settings.
If I try to manually search for my network on my iPhone, it still will not find it.
It will find other peoples networks, but not mine.
And my current settings are the only ones that work perfectly with my Macbook and Time Capsule.
Any help?My wireless settings are 802.11n only (5GHz) with wireless security set to WPA2 Personal.
Therein lies your problem.

+*802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi (802.11n _2.4GHz only_)*+

I also have a TC which supports simultaneous dual band. I have two bands or networks - one 5GHz for my MBP, Time Machine Backup, and Apple TV, and another set to 2.4 GHz for my iPhone. The name for one of the networks includes 5GHz with the name and the other doesn't, which is the one I connect my iPhone with. -
My 13 inch Macbook Can Not find ANY wifi networks! Help!
I turned on my Macbook today only to find that no wifi networks are showing up, not even the neighbors! Im connected to the eather right now. My roommates laptop PC can connect fine. I need some help fixing it. Why is it not finding ANY networks at all?
Open System Profiler and check if the compter can still recognize your wireless device. Try resetting the SMC as well and see if this helps.

After latest security update my MacBook is not finding any network and I think is not really turning wifi on. Has anyone encountered similar problem?
Checked the older discussion of the same type and found solution, well kind of... Thanks to other people who tried it, I just cannot remember their names at the moment. So, the solution for me was to turn off the firewall in the system preferences and suddenly lo and behold there was my network.

Greetings,
I have tried searching this forum and the Apple support pages, and can't find a solution. My new iPod Touch can't find my home network. I have an AirPort Extreme base station and am using WPA/WPA2 Personal security. My MacBook Pro has no problem finding my network, and works flawlessly. My iPod Touch, on the other hand, can not. Even though my home network is not a closed network, I still tried entering the network name and password manually, and it still doesn't see it. I tried turning security off completely in my Base Station>AirPort>Wireless settings, and that didn't help, either. My iPod Touch does see one or two other networks in my neighborhood, but not mine.
For the record, I am sitting less than two feet away from my AirPort Extreme base station, so I'm definitely within range, my iPod Touch can see other networks, so it would seem that it's antenna is not at fault, and my MacBook Pro sees and connects to my network without any problems, so it would seem my AirPort Extreme is set up properly. So what am I doing wrong?
Any thoughts?Thanks Scott, that did it. Within range of everything is a wireless security camera that was creating an interference issue with my MacBook Pro and AirPort Extreme, and the only solution, other than disabling the camera, was to switch from 2.4 GHz to 5.0 GHz under Base Station>AirPort>Wireless>Radio Mode, which eliminated b/g compatible. At the time, that was fine because my MacBook Pro was n compatible. I see now that my iPod Touch is not. I tried switching back to b/g compatible, and the iPod Touch found my network right away, but the MacBook Pro lost it.
Can't win for losing.
The security camera has now been disabled, and both the iPod Touch and the MacBook Pro can access my network. I just won't be able to film the guy who tries to steal them. -
Hello my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi
Hello to all, with my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi. This only happens if I apply protection to the network. Unprotected my Iphone connects fine. Obviously the password to write error-free. I can not figure out what depends on this factor, however, another iphone connects fine. Help me please.
I have a similar,but slightly different problem. My iphone 4 recgonizes my home wifi and shows it under Settings, but will not access it, no signal shown, just 3G. It will access other wifi signals. My wife's iphone works fine, as does an ipad and macbook. This is new for my iphone, about 2-3 days.
Help! I reset network settings and rebooted the router (Apple), no avail -
Iphone osi 8.0 upgraded. Now I can't find my home network. Help!
Just upgraded my iPhone to psi 8.0. Am able to find and stay connected to public wifi. Originally was able to find my home wifi. Now I'm not connected nor can I find my home network. I have tried reset via the phone, reboot of phone and reboot of router.
Thanks 11142007. I had actually tried what you suggested. But, it was only after I rebooted the router a second time that I was able to connect and, hopefully, stay connected. The key on the second router reboot was waiting at least 15 seconds to power it back up. I didn't do that the first time.

Another alternative is she can select tracks from your library copy and just add them to her library. Then she does not have to bother with switching between two libraries.

Yes, you can install and use the software on the 2nd machine so long your new company owns the license, the software is used but the same person who is using the primary installation (that is, you).

I have an ipad first generation. I am trying to connect to a linksys router and the ipad is not finding the wireless network. What do I need to do? Thanks for your 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 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

Re: Satellite A350D - Does not find any WLAN network
Because the e-mail-support page doesn't works at the moment (after sending a message I only get a blank page) I will ask my question here.
Since maybe 2 or 3 months my connection to WLAN-networks is really bad. I have nothing changed, neither the Windows version (Windows 7) nor drivers, but it does not work as good as it was.
Some examples:
I'm sitting 5 metres away from the wlan router. Only a wall is seperating. The notebook does not find any wlan-network. With my HP notebook the connection is good. I'm sitting on the desk where the router stands. The notebook finds the network, but Windows says connection seems to be only average or bad. My HP notebook has the best connection rating.
Anybody here who can help or can say how I contact the support per e-mail without getting only this blank page?
Greetings SchlachtviehHey,
After WLAN driver update make also sure that power saving mode is disabled for WLAN card. You can do this in Windows Power Management.
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm
Driver update in such cases its always advisable but in my case it was the power saving of WLAN card. :) -

Macbook Pro causing lag on home network
Hello,
I got 2 PCs and a Macbook Pro connected to my Home Network. Whenever the Macbook Pro is connected to it the networks starts to have constant lag spikes.
If only the 2 PCs are connected everything runs smooth. I tried using an Ethernet cable instead of wireless but the problem remains so i guess that the problem is actually something on my Macbook.
Any ideas what can it be? And how to solve it?
Thank you so much for you attention.Usually, that's because both MBP's are trying to use the same IP address.
However, we need more information, like the type of router you're using.
